The detonations were of sufficient strength to make the ground tremble. It seamed to the weary travelers as if the mountain tops swayed above their heads.. To add to the horror of the situation they encountered every now and then a fer-de-iance. deadliest of all sna*es. Scat tered specimens of these serpents, of which thousands have been killed by the eruptions, were seen amid the glare from the volcano and the flashes of lightning, gliding ever the rocks and hurrying away as if they. too. had learned that their mountain home was no longer a safe . .place.

WASHINGTON, May 27-Soon after sen ate convened yesterday Mr. GalHnfrer, of New Hampshire, offered a resolution pro- Adding that the judiciary committee of the senate should make an investigation Into the subject of lynchings in the United States with a view of ascertaining wheth er there is any remedy for them. . Mr. Gallinger said he introduced the res olution in full view of the fact that'he might be charged with precipitating a sec tional controversy though nothing was further from his thoughts. He said lynch ings were not confined to the south. Hor rible cases bad occurred in the north and white men as well as black had been the victims. Throughout the country, intense interest was manifested In the subject. He thought It imperative that the judi ciary committee should take borne action upon the subject. He had read the Associated Press ac count of the burning of a negro in Texas a few days ago. He said history did not furnish a more fiendish instance of mob wrath. and Fox’s Book of Martyrs was tame In comparison. The whole wretched business, he said, was a disgrace to Amer idui manhood and in the light of which the alleged atrocities in the Philippines paled into insignificance. The Spanish in quisition did not furnish a case exceed-, Ing that one in inhumanity. He appre hended that it would be said that the Federal government was powerless and that ths states had exclusive Jurisdiction. If so the American people desired to know it. Public sentiment should be aroused to prevent such Inhuman atrocities. Mr. Culberson, of Texas, presentea and had read an account of a lynching in Kansas, saying that he wanted it shown that the crime of lynching was confined to no state or section. He said he hoped the New Hampshire senator would not single out his state when he wanted to bring such cases before the senate. After remarks by Mr. Hoar upon the constitutional feature of the case, the res olution went ever. . - The Philippines bill then was taken up, and Mr. Patterson of Colorado, made a speech in opposition to it. In beginning. Mr. Patterson read ex tracts from a report of a minister's meet ing held recently in Boston in the course of which the minister stated that the American flag had been disgraced In the Philippines by the commission of trage dies and horrors in the island although no special attack was made upon the oresident and secretary of war. Mr. Patterson referred to the editorials from the Denver News, which Mr. fora -ker had read in the course of his speech. These editorials strongly urged the re tention of the Philippines islands and ad vocated the government's policy as to the islands. Mr. Patterson said he was re sponsible for the utterances of the Den ver News then and now. He said he was a type of hundreds of thousands of Amer ican people, who had held views similar to those expressed in the Denver News editorials and subsequently had changed those views. Mr. Pattersen declared that after the capture of Manila, “a censored press, de liberately guided by the powers in Wash ington. had misrepresented the situation In the Philippines.” GIRL DIES IN AGOnF~ FROM FRIGHTFUL BURNS CHICAGO, May 28.—Craxed by burning oil which had fallen on her dress from a gasoline stove on which she was prepar ing supper last night, Miss Josephine Plxka tan into her bedroom and seised 1300 in bills which lay secreted between the mattresses. Her screams attracted John Novak, who extinguished the flames, only after she had been fatally burned. The bills, which represented the savings of herself and brother for sev eral years, were burned.. The girl died two hours later.

SAYS IDLE CITY NEGROES ARE A DISGRACE. Booker T. Washington, president of the negro normal school at Tuskegee, Ala., delivered an address Tuesday afternoon at the negro conference which was held at Atlanta university. He repeated the views he has long held that the wisest and safest policy for the southern negro Is to adapt the race to it® present needs and conditions. The best way to do this, says Washington, is for the negro to get possession of the soil and till it, and he made some able arguments in this cause. He was heard by a large audience, in cluding a number of white persons. In part, Booker Washington said: “I hope you will excuse me if, for a few minutes, 1 seem to discuss the occupation of our people in a broader way than the narrow one suggested by the subject under discussion at this conference. • I want to say as a foundation to my re marks that my belief la that the proper way to begin in the development of a race would be the same as with an indi vidual. The proper place to begin the de velopment of an individual is just where the Individual la. We can begin in no wiser way to develop any race than to begin just where the race finds itself at the mo ment of beginning. "I am sure you will agree with me when I assert that by far the largest portion of our people are engaged in some form of agriculture—are engaged In the cultivation of the soil. Since the bulk of our people are to live out of the «oil, are accustomed to agricultural life, it is my opinion that agrlctyture should te made the chief in dustry of our people, at least for a long period of years. The negro should be en couraged to own and cultivate the soli; In a word, as a rule, should be encouraged to remain In the country districts. The ne gro Is at his best In moat cases when in agricultural life; in too many cases he is at his worst when in contact with the life of the city. Os course, out of agriculture, the fundamental Industry, will grow most, if not all. the skilled occupations with which, I understand, this conference is now specifically dealing. “In order that the negro may be induced to remain In the country we should see to It -that life Is not only bearable and safe, but attractive and comfortable. “If there is one thing at the present time that should give us more serious con cern than another, it is the large Idle class that lingers about the sidewalks, bar rooms and dens of sin and misery in our large citlea. The negro boy should be given such an idea of the beauty and dignity of .agricultural life that rather than yield to the temptation of going to the city he will return to his father's farm, and there raise 50 bushels on an acre of ]and,by rea son of his intelligence and skill where only 25 bushels or lew were growing before.” Senator Tillman is telling the people of South Carolina that the story that the Democratic senators left the senate cham ber when he made his famous speech concerning niggers and the sand cure is all a dirty He. promulgated by the north ern newspapers. Again Tillman shows that he never overlooks an opportunity tc slander his own party. RECORDS OF STATE ' ARE ROTTING AWAY Maps of counties and official records of the state in the office of Secretary of State Phil Cook are rapidly becoming useless, on account of the fact that the legislature has made absolutely no provis ion for repairing and rebinding them. Sec retary of State Cook has called the at tention of the general assembly to the matter time and time again but no ap propriation for the preservation of these valuable documents has ever been made. Official maps of 34 counties are missing. Some of the records of the state are torn and tattered from constant use. Binding from many of the valuable documents handed down from the days of General James Oglethorpe are gone. The records are In bad shape and nobody realizes the condition of affairs better than Secretary of State Cook. In speaking of the matter yesterday he said: "There are but few records among the archives of the state of more Importance than the maps of the seveial counties of the state. Often appeal is made to them by county authorities and land owners to settle important questions sometimes In volving pecuniary interests of counties and Individuals. It is therefore of the greatest importance that these maps should be preserved and reproduced from time to time as they wear out from con stant use. This has been the unbroken policy of the state since its organization. But for about 30 years no provision has been made to pay for repairing maps dam aged by constant use and for replacing those entirely worn out. Os the maps of the 137 counties in the state six are entire ly worn out and. gone, about 30 so badly worn that unless immediate attention is given them it will be impossible to make correct copies of them, and about 100 still serviceable, most of them in a legible state. SELL ISLANDS IS ADVICE OF MONEY MISSISSIPPI SENATOR SAYS “GET RID OF ISLANDS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE”~HIS REASONS FOR STATEMENT. CHARLOTTE, N. C.. May 28.-In an ad dress before the Manufacturers' club in Charlotte last night Senator Money used the following language concerning the Philippines: “When the war with Spain broke out, over 5,000 young men from the civilised portions of the islands were in Spanish universities, and they are the people against whom we are waging warfare. Os the 82 members of Aguinaldo's provis ional congress there were more college and university graduates than ever sat in the senate of the United States at one time. Therefore more men. by 10 to 1. among the members who spoxe different languages from their own than ever at one time occupied seats in our senate. The president of the congress had written books that had been translated all over Europe. When we thin* of ail the con ditions that exist in the Philippines we may well ask the question. 'What is the compensation for all this?' The answer is: 'Nothing.' “In those Islands the white mah will be come a degenerate In two generations and one year is as long as an American soldier can remain there. We should get rid of the islands as quickly as possible.” MANY NOMINATIONS SENT TO THE SENATE WASHINGTON, May 38.—The president today sent the following nominations to the senate: Postmasters— Virginia—Alexander McCormick, Perry ville; Allen J. Harless, Christiansburg. Kentucky—Samuel G. Hanron, Berea. North Carolinar-Pryce T. Jones, Hen derson. South Carolina —George D. Shore, Sum ter; W. L. Harris, Charleston. Texas—Homer S. Williams, Cisco; George C.'Clifford. San Antonio; John Beaty, W’axahatchia. Tennessee—Gale Armstrong, Rogers ville. a Florida—James A. Simpson. Klssimee. Georgia—Christopher E. Head, Talla poosa. Indian Territory—William H. Pilton, Durant. Oklahoma—Thomas F. Addington, Yu kon. JIO.OOiLLED' TO ft YOUNG SOLDIER HOW COL. H. G. SPRINGS, OF CHAR LOTTE, DIVIDED HIS ESTATE OF $500,000. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Mky 28.-Among the beneficiaries by the will of Col. H. G. Springs, who died here Sunday evening, leaving an eatate of $500,000, is Holland Springs, a distant relative of the de deceased, who la at present in the Phil ippines as a private soldier. Some time ago he sent Colonel Springs a pair of red slippers with large silver buckles. They seemed to please the old man and they were the direct cause of the young private being left the sum of SIO,OOO. Another beneficiary by special legacy Is a young son of Dr. J. H.’ McAden, of Charlotte, who assisted Colonel Springs in collecting rents, etc. Young McAden gets two bus iness houses valued at about $16,000. The rest of Colonel Springs' estate is divided pro rata among a number of distant heirs, each receiving about $33,000. The luncheon table of spring and sum mer must be cool, light and inviting. Small glass dishes placed at the corners of the table now hold well-selected sprigs of watercress, which is to be nibbled In the place of radishes. The salads show some strong note of color. A bright-toned salad is composed of small, well-shaped toma toes, stuffed with an equal mixing of white celery and apples cut in very small pieces. A good deal of sugar is added to the mayonnaise dressing of such a salad and It rests also abundantly as an upper, crust below the replaced lid of the toma to. The most delightful salad at present is the fruit salad, served in a scooped-out . pineapple. In its making all the season able, fruits are cut finely, covered rather generously with maraschino, and then left to remain some time in the husk of the pineapple. The strong, delicious odor of this, fruit permeates the whole contents apd when served very cold, the salad forms one of the truly pleasing novelties of the spring. “Some of them, however, are inaccurate because many county lines have been changed since they were made. These changes, I think, should be made on the maps so as to show the lines of each county as they now are. Some provision should be made to look after these mat ters. I have no official maps of Appling, Baker, Campbell. Coffee, Colquitt, Dade, Dodge, Dooly, Douglas. Elbert, Fayette, Hall, Irwin, Laurens, Liberty. Lowndes, Oconee, Pauling. Pike. Pulaski, Rabun. Richmond, Rockdale, Taliaferro, Tattnall. Telfair, Troup, Twiggs, Walker. Walton, Washington, Wayne. White and Wilkin son. The maps which I have of Bartow, Henry. Mitchell, Pierce and Wilcox, are incorrect. The maps of Charlton. Chero kee. Cobb and DeKalb are worn out en tirely and absolutely useless. "It is also necessary that something should be done for the preservation of the old records. Many of these manuscript volumes are in a good state of preserva tion, but a few much soiled, defaced and worn by constant use for ICO years, should be transcribed. Many should be rebound, the old binding being rotten and worth less. These old records should be pre served because they are useful and nec essary to this office and the people of Georgia. But aside from this patriotism, state pride and a proper regard for the memory, and achievements of our an cestors. ought to prompt the people to preserve and jealously guard the ar chives of our state. This duty has been neglected and these valued relics of the past glory of Georgia have been uncared for and for want of a small appropria tion they will in a few years be lost. I earnestly hope that the next legislature will see fit to give a few dollars for this work." Governor Candler and other state house offers agree with Mr. Cook that the records and maps should be cared for. GEORGIA MAN FALLS HEIR TO A FORTUNE WINDER. Ga., May 28.—Mr. John L. Harris, a well known and respected citi zen of Jackson county, living about three miles from here, has just received a tele gram informing him that he had gained his case in a California court, and that he would receive $68,000 from the estate of his father. It appears that before the war the Oili er of Mr. Harris was a citizen of Jackaon county, but that he went to the west in search of gold, leaving his wife and son in Georgia. He kept up a regular corres pondence with them until the beginning of the civil war. Then his letters ceased coming, and nothing further was heard from him until hla death. He died about four years ago, and his will went up be fore a court to be probated. A cousin in California objected to the will, saying that Mr. Harris came from Georgia and left a wife and son there. The will was held up and a diligent search instituted for the wife and son. Mr. Harris was located near here, and was notified. He left at once for California and set up his claim as the rightful heir and gained the case. The cousin who no tified Mr. Harris was not remembered un der the will, but Mr. had made her a present of $5,000. roosevElTwill”sTgn INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS WASHINGTON. May 27.—President Roosevelt yesterday informed a number of senators who called on him that he would sign the Indian appropriation bill, some of his objections to it having been met by special legislation. He still opposed the provision giving the exclusive right to the Florence mining comilany to pros pect for one year all the mineral lands on the Uintah reservation in Utah. It Is understood that a bill will be introduced in both houses of congress repealing this provision allowing the general public to explore the land and es tablish claims. ‘■POPS" GIVEN COLD DEAL BT DEMOCRATS EMANUEL COUNTY POPULISTS AND DEMOCRATS IN A WRAN- GLE-HELD A SPIRITED MEETING SATURDAY. SWAINSBORO. Ga.. May 26.-On April 26th, last, at a citizens’ meeting held In the court house in this place, a resolution was unanimously passed inviting all per sons, “regardless of past party affilia tions to meet with the Democrats here on Saturday, May 24th, for the purpose of electing a new Democratic executive committee. The Populists met here on May 17th. passed resolutions unconditionally accept ing the Democrats' Invitations and named a committee to present the resolutions to the meeting on May 24th. In the meantime some of the leading Democrats of the county got together and decided it bad policy to let the Populists participate in the selection of the Demo cratic committee and prevailed upon the chairman. Hon. Frank Mitchell, to call a meeting for May 15th. This was done and a good number of Democrats met here on that day and a new Democratic committee elected. Saturday morning the commit tee met and called a primary election for each district in the county to be held on Wednesday, July 23d. fokthe selection of representatives and counw officers. After the committee meeting a large and representative body of citizens of all parties met In the court house, with Hon. Frank Mitchell, presiding. The Populists, through Hon. W. R. Kemp. presented their resolutions to the meeting, but as the adoption of these resolutions woald have declared the action of the Demo crats' meeting of May 15th void, a spirited debate arose and the resolutions were pot voted upon. A large element of the Democrats were not in sympathy with the meeting of May 15th, which elected an executive commit tee, and they were all in favor of receiv ing the Populists' resolutions and admit ting them back into the party. On the other hand, influential Democrats who took part In the meeting of May 15th of fered resolutions unconditionally inviting the Populists back into the party, and insisted that their resolution be voted up on first. The Populists said they could vote upon no resolution pt the Democrats until they were admitted into the party and then the serious split came. The Populists marched out of the meeting, followed by a large number of Democrats and the meeting was unceremoniously adjourned.
