Mr. Hill, tn an Interview says that if
the cable reports of the capture of six

successful. Before leaving for America
Mr. Hill saw the rebel leader and was told
by him that 56.000 troops were all ready
to j On the rebellion and would bring with
them modern trms and ammunition. Re
cruits are flocking to the rebel standard
and their hope is to reach the city of
Canton. Here they expect to get sSffictent
ammunition and arms and treasure to
carry on the rebellion, which will eventu
ally result In the overthrow of the reign

lieves the time opportune for the rebel

the foreign domination of the country.
When the Kagua Maru left thousands of
refugees were flocking into Kwangtung

MANY GOOD FARMERS
SWEAR BY BERRY’S COTTON
To "Whom It May Concern:
We, the undersigned, do hereby certify
that we have planted Berry’s Early Big
801 l Cotton Seed and read his claims for
It, and they are not extravagant nor un
founded. It is a different and distinct va
riety from any we ever saw. It is not the
same variety as the Truitt Cotton. We
have raised both or seen them growing
and Berry’s Early Big 801 l is a very su
perior cotton to the Truitt Cotton. The
bolls are larger and different shaped boll*.
The stalk is larger and stronger, having
a heavier foliage and a larger, darker col
ored leaf and is more prolific and has al
together a different staple. It is the best
upland staple we ever saw and is about
two weeks earlier than Truitt’s or any
other big boll variety we have ever tried.
We find Mr. Berry’s Cotton comes up to
what he claims for It. XVe are well pleas
ed with our investment. We find Mr. Ber
,ry's Cotton Seed to be the best and purest
we ever saw. They are nearer all the
same size and the same color and the
stalks are more alike than any we ever
saw. We think it is the best variety we
ever planted or saw grow and can cheer
fully recommend it to all who want a bet
ter Cotton. We, the undersigned, will
swear to the above statement at any time
if called on:

EXILESIWSH
SNOUT'fflt TOLSTOI"
PLAY AT THEATRE IS STOPPED
BY RIOTOUS DEMONSTRA
TION IN THE BAL-
CONY.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
ST. PETERSBURG, March 6.-An at
tempt will be made to reopen the St. Pe
tersburg university and, it is supposed,
other higher educational institutions, on
Monday, March 10, If it proves a failure,
the university authorities say, no further
attempt will be made until the autumn,
perhaps even longer. The matter was dis
cussed between students, to whom special
invitations were sent, and the representa
tives of the faculty yesterday. The stu
dents desiring admittance were required
to sign a pledge that they would attend
no illegal meetings or participate in any
disorders. It is doubtful if the experiment
will stay. Many students declared, imme
diately after signing the pledge, that they
regarded it as a promise made under con
straint, and that they had no intention of
keeping it.
The fermentation has attained the ec
clesiastical seminaries, and it is said that
nineteen of them have been closed. It is
understood that there is only a remote
connection between the trouble in the in
stitutions and the secular schools. The
complaints of the future priests are pure
ly domestic.
Several incidents have latterly thrown
doubt upon the wisdom of the government
in sending its ‘•politically untrustworthy”
elements to the-rural districts. It would
appear that the latter are making rapid
progress in assimilating the doctrines of
the new residents. The following incident
which occurred at Pultava, and which is
related on the basis of two separate pri
vate letters, is perhaps characteristic:
I Some sixty St. Petersburg exiles are liv
ing in Poltava, a town of about 50,000 in
habitants, in'the agricultural south. Pre
vious to their arrival it was regarded as
a typical somnolent place, the population
being mainly distinguished for Illiteracy.
During a repetition in the local theatre a
few days ago some one rose in the balco
ny and shouted:
“Long live Count Tolstoi, the excom
municated.”
The cry was taken up by other persons
in different parts qf the house and the
house and the play came to standstill. The
police finally cleared the balcony and the
same evening arrested all the exiles in
their homes and then lodged them tn a
frail Jail with common criminals. They
demanded the reason for their arrest and
an immediate hearing but received no sat
isfaction. They thereupon determined to
refuse food in order to force concessions,
but finding famine monotonous after 35
hours, began a riot. How the affair ended
seems uncertain. One account says all
the common criminals who joined the po
litical offenders, escaped.

NEW YORK, March 24.—The cotton market
opened firm, with prices unchanged to 5 points
higher on vigorous demand from shorts and
fairly active bull support. Light port receipts
and a better showing on Liverpool s part than
due on the New York close of yesterday were
the Incentives to the early buying. But soon
after the call it was seen the brokers credited
with handling the Wall street bull contingents
business were free sellers of May and July.
This led to a quick change of front by the
room trade in general and by the first half
hour May had settled to 8.50 and .July to 8.55,
or 4to 7 points below early prices. Speculation
was active in a spasmodic way with sentiment
very much mixed. Port receipts bid fair to
reach only 11,000 bales as against 22. <95 the
same day last year, a fa ’V n * more
50 per cent. Just before 11 o’clock room

, Murphy & Co.’* Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The receipts of cot
ton at ports were over 12,000, against 23,000
last year, but even this small movement had
little effect on sentiment, the bear point being
that on all sides holders are reluctant to let
go since the market commenced to go down.
On the other hand bulls accepted the decreased
movement as a positive indication of exhaus
tion. The market opened 5 to 8 points higher
on covering of shorts. No little business for
Philadelphia account was executed, especially
for May. and the early strength generally was
largely ascribed to this. The main question
was. is liquidation about over, or will it be
resumed in as big a scale as ever? Cables were
3 points lower. Local prices lower after the
opening, but there was little lire to the market
and a disposition to await new developments.
People who have confidence of a crop not ex
ceeding 9,500,000 now admit that the figures to
day point to at least 30,000,000, and how much
more they are nqt willing to say. But
even so they say supplies are not large enough
to meet the world's requirements and that ex
pectations of much higher values must of ne
cessity be based on a decidedly decreased move
ment in the very near future. The decreased
shipments of spots from the interior are as
cribed to the fact that holders will not accept
the current prices. Either this fact or actual
exhaustion, it is argued, must explain the slow
er movement in question. The margin between
cotton and yarns has Increased in the English
centers and the mill situation abroad is said
to be healthier than generally supposed.

Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO. March 26.-Early trade in grains
was tame today. There was some show of
strength at the opening of the wheat pit on
better cables and small receipts. May was
% to ‘4c higher at 72% to 72%c. Fairly liberal
selling set in at once, however. Influenced by
additional rains in nearly all sections of the
growing wheat country. The outside mar
kets started slightly advanced, wut the late
cables declined a trifle and St. Louis turned
weaker. Good weather favored the crops
and seeding in the spring wheat sections was
reported In full swing. These factors depressed
May to 72%c, but there was a revival of the
eaffy demand and May rallied and advanced
to 72%c. Local receipts were 3n cars, none
of contract grade; Mlnenapolls and Duluth re
ported 158 cars, making a total for three points
of 188 cars, against 290 last week and 381 a
year ago.
May corn opened %o%c to %c higher at 58%c
to 59%@59%c on higher cables and the wheat
advance. Trade was not large and on the
tendency of the local crowd to sell May slipped
off to 58%@58%c. Commission houses, however,
executed good buying orders, wheat showed ad
ditional strength and May corn sold to 58%c.
Receipts 124 cars.
Offerings in May oats were fair at th* open
ing and influenced a slight decline. There
was otherwise littl* change in the general oats
situation. May started %c lower at 42%c and
weakened to 42 on selling. When other grains
grew stronger, shorts in oats covered, some
support developed and May rallied and ad
vanced to 42%c. Receipts 88 cars.
Provisions again showed that marked
strength that has characterized the market for
the past week. Hogs at the yards were high
er, the list opened slightly higher and a gpod
demand in pork at once set in. The grain
strength also influenced advances. May pork
started 214®5c higher at $15.95@15.97% and sold
to $16.10; May lard unchanged at $9.6214 and
worked up to 29.79, and May ribs at $8.75 and
advanced to SB.BO.

Prime on the Grain Crop.
From the Daily Stockholder.
So far as spring progress is concerned, we
have made very little since the date of my
last letter to the Dally Stockholder of the 15th
Inst. The country has had to contend with a
general freeze up covering all the surplus grain
growing states of the country. Wheat, so far,
has made very little growth this season, and
as the season advances the fact becomes more
and more evident that the late sown wheat
was more or less Injured by a dry fall in con
nection with late seeding, and we are Just as
much In doubt today as we have been at any
time this season as to the extent and perma
nence of this damage to the crop. For th*
first time this season reports hav* been received
of wheat being plowed up in th* southwest.
At no.time, on the crop haye farmers been such
poor sellers ’Of wheat' as during the present
month. It would seem that with the great crop
made in 1901, there ought to be plenty of wheat
back yet, but the conditions seem to favor the
idea that we have fed up this winter a much
larger percentage of the wheat to live stock
than ever before. With, the agiall reserves of
corn which have been growing less every day.
this situation is likely to continue Indefinitely,
and we need look for no larger receipts of
wheat until we have some definite Information
as to how the growing crop will ultimately
turn out. . , .
The work of spring seeding has been brought
also to a complete standstill by the sudden
freeze which stopped the growth of the winter
wheat, and practically nothing has been done
in that line the present week. Seeding of ei
ther spring wheat or oats is not late yet. Ear
ly seeding Is not particularly beneficial in the
long run, for we very often get caught a*
we are today and the grain Is a great deal
better in the bag In the bam than in the
ground. ,
So far, the season is Just an ordinary normal
year and the ruling element that we are start
ing Out with is drier conditions than was ex
perienced a year ago. Another very potent
factor in the crop situation is the smallness
of reserve* of all kinds ot coarse grains, and
daily growing less and with no possibility of a
change for four months at least, oats being the
first grain that we shall handle. High prices
of oats have caused farmers to sell very closely.
We are now feeding more oats than at afiy
time the whole year and this condition of things
will continue during the growing season.
So far our spring country trad* has been
good. Stocks in the interior, of merchandise
of all kinds, have been sold very freely during
the past winter, and the city now is overflow
ing with country buyers, all bringing to a more
or less extent reports of excellent country
trade. ,
McCullough Bro*. Fruit and Produce
Letter.
ATLANTA. March 27.—The nearness of Eas
ter has caused somewhat of a stir in eggs,
and the feeling is much stronger at quoted
prices. Live poultry, such as hens, fryers, tur
keys and ducks, are scarcer than at any time
for the past six months, buyers do not quw
tion prices, hence prices are high. Florida
oranges, heavy weight. vCry active seller, at
the best prices of the season. Grape fruit has
taken on new life, and finding ready sale at
advanced figures. Stock peas are more active
at a slight advance, while white peas are mov
ing slow at a slight decline. Country cured
meats are moving readily, and bringing remun
erative prices. Sweet potatoes were never so
scarce, and it is not a question of variety with
the trade now. but they will gladly take any
thing they can get, provided the stock is sound,
the highest market of the season now prevails.
Strawberries have stiffened up 2% to 5 cents
per quart from last week’s quotations, and the
trade seems quite anxious to place orders lib
erally for Saturday's delivery before Easter.
Celery arriving very plentifully and moving
slow. Bell peppers are not to be had, and en
quiries are frequent. Cabbage carried over
from last week are in liberal supply, and mov
ing slow, while fresh garden stock'is finding
ready sale promptly on arrival. Lettuce well
headed, somewhat more active but liberal re
ceipts would have a depressing effect on the
market. Cauliflower scarce and active. Beets
are in normal supply and finding ready sale.
English peas arriving freely and selling low.
Snap beans scarce and actlce at paying price*.
Tomatoes, both choice and fancy, finding ready
sale at an advance of 25 to 50 cents per crate.
Cucumbers, squash, new Irish potatoes and
egg plant are all a very scarce commodity and
prices obtained will surely please the growers.
MISS MARY HARRIMAN
SUBDUES BAD HORSE
CHICAGO, March 26.—The visit to Phoenix.
Arizona, of E. H. Harriman, president of the
Southern Pacific railroad, and party, was a
marked event which, came near being a tragedy.
Mr. Harriman’s party started for a horseback
ride about the city, when Miss Mary Harriman,
the young daughter of the financier, became
engaged in a fierce battle with the broncho
horse she was riding, says a special to Tin
Tribune.
Miss Harriman was no sooner in the saddle
than the horse began to buck. With great clev
erness the girl kept her seat, as the vicious
horse reared and side-leaped. Mr. Harriman
and a half a hundred other men rushed to the
rescue, but could not get near the plunging
animal. Miss Harriman sat like a veteran
"broncho-buster” until the horse slipped and
rolled over her. She escaped with an injured
ankle, but it was considered a miracle that
she was not crushed to death.
Miss Harriman, who is a noted equestrienne
and a familiar figure on the avenues of New
York ants San Francisco, was warned against
the horse, but refused to entertain any fear
of the animal. She showed less anxiety during
the fight with the horse than the spectators.

CIKBIOITE BECK

HE MADE SEVERAL CHARGES
AGAINST STATE SCHOOL COM-
MISSIONER G. R. GLENNr
SMALL CROWD.
At the Grand Tuesday night Rev. A. J.
Beck, candidate for state school com
missioner, deliver an address, which con- y
sisted mainly of charges against the pres
ent incumbent. Hon: G. R. Glenn. And
Mr. Beck agreed that if he could not prove
the charges he would retire from the race
and make an the amends in his power. He
offered his retirement to Mr. Glenn if Mr.
Glenn could disprove the charges, and
then wanted Mr. Glenn to retire in event
he could not disprove them. He agreed to
leAve the matter to one of his friends and
one of Mr. Glenn’s friends. ' j
Mr. Beck had a number es supporters
in the audience and they applauded h‘.s re
marks frequently. Mr. Beck reiterated hi*
charge that the school attendance had de
creased 2 per cent. He contends that while
there has been’ an increase in the enroll
ment there has been a decrease in the per
centage of enrollment. Mr. Beck argued
that state uniformity would not cost the
state $600,000. as stated by Mr. Glenn, but
very much less.
The conclusion of Mr. Beck's address
was devoted entirely to the charges
against Dr. Glenn. Mr. Beck said: .
Standing, as I do tonight, between the
multitude of Georgia’s children and the
reputation of an official, I have to perform
the most pklnful duty of my lite. With
no personal feeling, no bitterness toward
the man, I am compelled to bring charg
es against the official life of the present
state school commissioner.
1. Instead of preparing the question* for
the annual examination of teachers, the
state school commissioner has obtained
them from the facility of a certain school
thus giving advantage to the pupils of tnat
school and putting at a decided disadvant
age the pupils of ail other college*, and
all other teachers who have to stand th*
annual examinations.
2. I charge him with the illegal tssuin®
of a state license in. » certain county of
Georgia, said license being revoked ahd
destroyed on the demand of tne board of
education of the county in which it wa*
Issued.
8. The Illegal issuing of state license to
the pupils of a certain school in Georgia,
without any examination and without
shadow of authority.
4. The giving out of examination ques-
tions for a county school commissioners’
examination before the day set for said
examination. ' *
5. That some months ago—perhap* two
years ago—the state school commissioner
borrowed as much as $2,000 from a certain
bank, under the indorsement of the agent ■ ‘
of a book company, thus placing himself 1
under obligation to that company to an
extent that might warp his judgment and
influence his action.
If these charges are true, then Mr.
Glenn is unworthy of the office he hold*
and to which he seeks re-election. If they
are not true, Aien they are slanderous.
I make tai* offer: If Dr. Glenn will ap
point a friend, I will appoint one; and to
these shall be submitted the source* of
my information. If these gentlemen find
that the charges are true, then Dr. Glenn
shall retire from his candidacy; if they
find that the charges, are not true I win
retire and will make nevery amend possi
ble.
