Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—Sensational
developments have followed the re
cent raid on the Cannon hotel in
which nine supposed professional beg
gars were caught. The nollce now be-
'lleve they have butted into a gang of
professional thieves and safe crackers.
A bag found in the room occupied by
th'e men arrested was found to con
tain a complete safe cracker’s layout
and four loaded revolvers of large cal
ibre. Clark, who is believed to be the
leader of the alleged gang, was ar
raigned before the recorder yesterday
and bound oVer to the state courts un
der a $5,000 bond on the charge of
vagrancy. There is no positive evi
dence against the man, but the bond
was made large enough to hold him
until the police can make a thorough
investigation to find out his true char
acter. There have been a number of
daring robberies lu Atlanta and some
clever safe cracking in towns near
here. The police think that the gang
had headquarters in this city and op
erated in the surrounding country at
will.
PHILIPPINE TARIFF
BILL IS KILLED

Committee on the Philippines today

tion of the Senate. This effectually
disposes of the measure.

Chicago
o, March 2.—The. United States government is
making preparations in the Philippines' to send an army to
China to protect Americah interests, according to a dispatch
from Washington. The President has given instructions that
troops be ready at a moment’s notice for service in the far east.
The President is hopeful that the precautionary measures taken
will have the effect of causing the Empress Dowager to' take
repressive measures to avert an outbreak.
THE TROUBLE AT NANCHANG CAUSED BY FRENCH CATHOLICS.
Nanchang, China, March 1.—Fifteen
Methodist, twelve English Protestant
and fourteen French Catholic mission
aries were in the city last Thursday
night, when the Frbnch Catholics had
a quarrel with an official over a suit
for the possession of property.
Great excitement prevailed on Fri
day. A mass meeting was held on
Saturday and was followed on Sunday
by a riot, during which the property
of Catholics was burned. The Protest
ants took refuge in the adjoining
house of Mr. Kingman. The house
was burned and six priests and two
members of the Kingman family were
killed.
The Chinese governor attempted to
check the riot and rescue the mission
aries. The men of the Methodist mis
sion, aided by Chinese soldiers, took
their school girls to Chinese homes in
the city and brought Miss Hoyt and
Miss Kahn from a hospital.
All took refuge In mid-river in a
launch, which was furnished by Chi
nese officers. The launch waited until
Chinese soldiers brought the remain
ing missionaries at daylight on Mon
day. The launch reached Kiuklang
on Tuesday. The wounded Kingman
girl died on the way.

Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga„ March 2.—If there
is' one thing more than another that
Mills B. Lane, president of the Citi-
the largest

more, is noted for it is his bachelor
hood. Next to'that the fact that his
,head Is devoid of hair is his chief con
cern. Mr. Lane, since he came to Sa
vannah from Valdosta some fifteen
years since, has become one Of the
South’s most Important financiers.
Yesterday he went upon the stand to
give testimony in the Greene and Gay
nor case. He was taken in charge by
the counsel for the defense for cross-
examination. Col. P. W. Meldrim con
ducted the examination. This collo
quy ensued:
Question: "You have been* with the
Citizens Bank how many years?" .
Answer: “Fourteen years.”
Q. “Married or single?”
A. “Single.”
Q. “And your age?” »
A. “Forty-five.”
“You may come down.”
Absolutely, this was every question
the defense had to ask him. The bank

HEMORRHAGE OF BRAIN
CAUSE OF DEATH.
Death of Pugilist Result of
Knock-out Blows.
Neil’s
San Francisco, March 2.—The direct
cause of the death of Harry Tenny,
the pugilist who died yesterday as
the result of a fight with Neill Wed
nesday night, was hemorrhage of the
brain. Dr. Kucich, who performed aq
autopsy, said the bone above the right
eye was brokep by Neil’s blows, and
that the eye sank into the head.
Death was not caused by poison or
a narcotic, nor from a weak heart, as
was rumored last night. Penny’s phy
sical condition was perfect.
wa;
Chinese could have blocked the pas
sage of the launch during the twelve
hours' journey down the river, but
they were friendly.
Rev.. A. P. Quirmbach, a Methodist,
remained at Nanchang to care for
property. He is under the protection
of the governor and is probably safe.
The cause of the riot was local.
Serious blame attaches, to ,the French
Catholics. Chinese, i friendly to the
missionaries, object to .priests exer
cising civil functions.
There is much discussion througo-
out China, but there is no indication
of a general Uprising agalnBt foreign
ers.
Alderman R. J. Davant And
Seems to Be the Coming
Candidate Against Pres
ent Administration.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., March 2.—Does Al
derman R. J. Davant, chairman of the
Fire Committee, entertain any Idea of
running for mayor In the campaign
that will be on for that office in the
near future? This is the question that
many Savannahiqns have asked them
selves during the last few months. It
Is possible that one or the other par
ties in Savannah may ask Alderman
Davant to head Its' ticket. Just what
he would do in the event such a thing
occurred is only conjecture.
At a recent meeting of those op
posed to the present city administra
tion every criticism brought forth
tests from the audience that Alderman
Davant must be excluded from blame.
This first attracted attention to him
as a factor in the" campaign of the op
position. Alderman Davant lias tried
hard to occupy a neutral position. He
is right now engaged in a contest with
his committee over the election of a
city veterinarian to care for the sick
horses of the fire department. His
committee elected one man, but later,
without the chairman’s consent, the
majority of the committee, having
changed their minds, put the one who
had been fired back in charge, and
this has caused a row all around. It
is said that Alderman Davant even
threatened resignation from the com
mittee.
WORST STORM OF WINTER
RAGING. IN NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb., March 2.—Dispatches
from western and northern portions
of the state say that the worst storm
of winter has been,raging for the last
twenty-four hours. Communications
and traffic are demoralized.

The Propensity to Strike
Seems to Be on Increase
Among Negro Laborers of
Nearly All Classes.
Strikes are getting to be the order
of the times in Albany.
The latest strike that has been
called to attention is that of the cab-,
men. Just a few days ago the opera
house stage hands struck.
Today, It was learned from E. W.
Livingston & Co., who run a regular
cab and hack line in Albany, that .all
the cabmen were on a strike, and that
the cabs were In the stable, for want
of drivers. The Btrllte is pretty gen
eral, but doesn’t include all the hack-
men in town, it was learned.
The cause of the strike is unknown.
It is not known what concessions the
cabmen want. It. may be that their
employers were requested to do the
driving and refused,, that the cabmen
contended that the passengers shquld
jdo the driving, that they wanted softer
cushions on which to sit, or embroid
ered reinB, and silk gloves, for all
that could be learned.
It seems that the negroes have
caught the strike contagion and are
striking right and left, just. for .the
sake, of the strike. Negroes, like most
human beings, like to feel themselves
indispensable, and on rainy days;
when the cabs are badly needed, they
do love ,to haye- the whites beg them,

Love very often laughs at lock

That is why, when they left home
