BRITISHERS BLUFF
CZAR’S MINIONS
Clash of Authority Occurs
At Tien Tsin.
RAILROAD LAND IN DISPUTE
Russians Stop Work In Progress,
But British Officials Order
That It Proceed.
A London special says: Friction has
arisen at Tien Tsin between the Brit
ish and Russians over a piece of land
alleged to belong to the railway com
pany and to have been in possession
of the company for some years.
According to dispatches from Tien
Tsin the Russians assert that this land
is part of their new concession, and
therefore Russian property. Mr. Kin
der, manager of the railway, had be
gun to make a siding, but was stopped
by the Russian authorities. He ap
pealed to Colonel McDonald, who re
ferred the matter to General Barrow,
British chief of staff in Pekin, who re
plied:
“Carry on the siding with armed
force, if neceesary. ”
Guards were put on the line by the
British, and the work continued.
General Wagasak, the Russian com
mander, protested, and said the thing
would not have been done if the Rus
sians had had as many troops as the
British, adding that such matters
should be left to diplomacy.
Colonel McDonald again communi
cated with General Barrow, who tele
graphed:
“Continue the siding.”
General Wagasak, very indignant,
appealed to the Russian minister at
Pekin, M. de Giers.
The Pekin correspondent of The
London Morning Post writing Satur
day and giving details of the storming
of a gate of the Great Wall by Colonel
Ledebur’s column March Bth, says:
“The Germans captured the Chung I
Shun pass between the provinces of
Chi Li and Shau Si, after seven hours’
fighting. This result was brilliantly
achieved by the Bavarian battalion, j
which marched 125 miles from Paotiug-
Fu in four days, through mountains
and over difficult mule tracks.
“The Chinese held an apparently
impregnable position on the great
wall at the highest part of the pass, i
They had several thousand troops and
artillery of all all descriptions. The
Germans attacked them with 600 in
fantry and two howitzers. The turn
ing movement over an impassable
country occupied several hours and
was completely succesful. The Chi
nese fled in to the proviune of Shan
Si, leaving at least a hundred dead j
and four hotchkiss guns. The victory
will have au excellent moral effect, as
the Chinese beleived their fortified
mountain belt impenetrable.”
MORE HEADS WANTED.
Advices from Pekin state that a gen
eral meeting of the foreign ministers !
was held Tuesday, at which the re
ports of the committees were heard.
Regarding the punishment of the
Chinese connected with the boxers,
there is strenuous opposition against
demanding many more heads, hut a
list containing the names of ninety- j
six minor officials will shortly be pre
sented to Prince Ching and Li Hung
Chaug, urging that they be tried for
complicity in the outrages aud pun
ished, when found guilty, in such
manner as the Chinese themselves see
.fit, except in the case of six men, who
the ministers think should be execut
ed.
The report of the committee on the
general principles on which indemnity
.should be considered was adopted.
Those claims, which are palpably un
just, will be disallowed,
The police acted promptly after the
girl’s father had reported to them.

the names of the two other youths,and
on Miss Paige’s complaint warrants

Dr. Greene’s Nervura Makes You
Strong and Weil.
It is the Groat Restorative of Brain
ami itrve^.
Oh, those nerves of ours, how they
do bother us! Weak, tired, and ner
vous is the complaint everywhere.
We overwork, dissipate, weaken our
bodies, ruin our health, and Anally
break down. Sleeplessness and indi
gestion are early symptoms, for the
nerves are too exhausted and irritable
to permit rest, and the stomach too
weak to digest food.
It is nerve and brain exhaustion !
which makes the brain tired, and the j
arm nerveless, the limbs trembling,
the muscles weak, and the whole body
without strength, energy or ambition. !
It is loss of nerve and vital power
w hich is slowly but surely sapping the ! '
very life itself, and unless help is
sought from the right source, the end
will be shattered nerves, insanity with
softening of the brain, nervous pros
tration, heart failure, paralysis or pre
mature death.
Bew r are of such symptoms! A well
knotvn druggist, Charles W. Eggles
ton, 329 Park Avenue, Worcester,
Mass., suffered from nervous prostra
tion and all its terrible symptoms. He
writes the following letter telling what
he knows is the best way to get well.
“Some time ago 1 was taken with
nervous prostration, I suffered terribly j
with my nerves and could get no sleep
at all. I became fearfully exhausted,
my stomach was in terrible condition
from dyspepsia, and I could eat hardly ,
anything.
“I used several medicines but with- ;
out benefit. Being in the drug busi- j
ness myself, and having had many
customers speak in the highest terms
of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, I determined to try it. !
After taking only one-half bottle I be- !
gan to feel much better.
"I slept soundly at night, and my
appetite was splendid. After taking
three bottles. I ate three square meals
a day, and had not the slightest dis- i
tress. My nerves were perfectly strong
and I felt like anew man. being com- j
pletely cured of all mv troubles.
“Out of the respect I bear the manu- I
facturersof Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood I
and nerve remedy, and my desire to
have the sick and suffering made well
and strong. I unhesitatingly say that j
this medicine is the best and most |
wonderful remedy known today.
"It does just what is said of it, It
cures disease. Don’t hesitate to use it. j
sufferers, for you will never regret it. j
You will be made well and strong." j
As this letter is from a dealer in j
medicine, his word Is authority on
such matters. Everybody knows that
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the great leading medicine ;
of the age. Take it and you will be
made strong, healthy and vigorous.
Doctors recommend it because it Is j
the prescription of a physician, and
because they know it cures.

The Origin of the Compass.
The origin of the compass is un
doubtedly to be ascribed to the Chi
nese, who more than a thousand years
B. C. made use of thelodestoneto guide
their cars or carriages without the aid
of the sun and stars. It is certain that
they employed the magnetic needle in
the navigation of vessels soon after
the Christian era, if not earlier. There
is, indeed, every reason to believe that
the mariner’s compass was not an
original European invention, but was
introduced from China. None of the
early European writers speak of it as
having been invented in Europe; and
it is certain that the compass used by
the Italians in the 13th century was
constructed exactly like those made la
China about the same period.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA.
WAR IS STILL ON.
Armistice Between Lord Kitchener
And General Botha Seems to
Be Ineffective.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, is*
| sued at London Friday morning, is so
studiously silent upon the subject of
the peace negotiations that it leads to
the conclusion that nothing has yet
been accomplished of a sufficiently
definite character to justify lending
official support to the view that the
war is over. NordoGeneral French’s
! movements indicate a cessation of hos
tilities, although possibly, as no date
I is given, his captures were made pre
j vious to the grauting of the armistice.
Lord Kitchener’s dispatch, which is
dated at Pretoria, reports as follows:
“Dewet has reached Seuekal on his
northward progress.
“French, in addition to his previous
successes, reports forty-six Boers kill
ed or wounded, 146 taken pris
oners and surrendered, with 200 rifles,
3,700 rounds of ammunition, 2,400
horses, 2,500 cattle and 400 wagons
and carts, besides mules and trek
oxen.
“Methuen has arrived at Warrenton
from Klerksdorp, bringing in prison
oners and cattle.
“The weather is wet, delaying the
movements of the columns.”
A dispatch from Pretoria, after not
ing General Dewet’s arrival at Senekal,
Orange River Colony, says that though
he has only a small following, Dewet
is nearing a district where he is likely
to receive considerable reinforcements
and probably intends to pick up rov
ing bands of republicans who are ever
present in the Dornberg and Koranna
districts.
General French, the dispatch adds,
had been detained by swollen drifts in
the Piet Retief district, but is now
able to move again.
Dispatches from Bloemfontein, Or
ange River Colony, state that prison
ers who have lately been released by
General Dewet say they think he is a
madman. They aver that the terrible
fatigue he has undergone, his anxie
ties aud the intensity of his feelings
have unhinged his mind. Apart from
this view of General Dewet’s mental
state some of his peculiarities are
that he rarely sleeps within the bounds
of the camp. He seeks his rest out
side, Avith a few trusted followers.
Thus, the orderlies of his subordinate
commanders are frequently unable to
find him to receive orders. His secre
cy is extreme. He absolutely imparts
his plans to no one.
General Dewet repudiates the peace
negotiations which are going on. He
has declared openly to the men under
his command that no terms except in
dependence will satisfy him. A recent
utterance attributed to General Dewet
is that after the British he hated the
Transvaalers.
The whereabouts of General Dewet
during the last two or three days is
unknown, nor is it known whether
President Stevn is with him.

A special from Havana says: The

another private meeting Friday after
noon. Senor De Quesada, one of the
members, says the committee agreed

tutional convention. He also asserts
that the committee is assured of the
support of twenty-eight delegates.
Monday the committee will meet
again, when individual opinions on
the question will be filed, to be incor
porated later into the final report,
The intention of the committee is not
to make a final report for some time,
but Senor de Quesada declares that
this delay will not weaken the deter
mination of its members not to accept
the Platt amendment as it stands.

THOUSANDS WITNESS BURNING
Victim of Flames Bore Torture
Stoically—Bereaved Husband
Slashes Him With Knife.
At Corsicana, Texas, John Hender
son, colored, who brutally assaulted
and murdered Mrs. Younger, a farm
er’s wife, living just outside the city,
several days ago, was burned to death
in the court house square at noon
Wednesday. A written confession of
the crime, attested by Judge Roberts,
was secured from the prisoner. Five
thousand people witnessed the burn
ing and business was practically sus
pended for a time.
Henderson was captured Tuesday
afternoon after a long chase. He was
trailed by bloodhounds from the
Younger homestead many miles hack
Knd forth across the country, and was
finally captured near Hillsboro. The
officers took him to the latter place
and were impelled, through fear of
mobs, to start for Fort Worth. When
the train reached Itasca a party of
Younger’s friends overpowered the
guards and hustled Henderson from
the train. He was conveyed across
the prairie a distance of forty-five
miles, to Corsicana, where he was
placed in jail to keep the infuriated
citizens from tearing him to pieces.
A committee was appointed to see
him and pass finally upon his guilt or
innocence. Finally he made a written
confession that he had murdered an
unknown white lady three miles north
of Corsicana, March 6.” There was
no one present, he said, but himself
aud the woman’s two little children.
He said he did not know why he did
it.
When it became public that Hender
son had confessed people swarmed
around the jail. It was decided to
burn the prisoner at the stake at 2 p.
m., but news was received that troops
had been started from Dallas and the
execution was hurried.
A railroad rail was driven into the
ground in the corner of the court
house square. Boxes aud dry timber
were piled around around it and sat
urated with oil. Just before noon
about forty men rushed from the jail
across the square where the rail
had been planted. In their midst was
Henderson, handcuffed. The man
formed a circle, holding to a chain
which surrounded the prisoner to pre
sent the crowd from tea; lug him away.
The negro was fastened to the rail
with wire and chains.
Cans of oil were emptied over his
clothing and dozens of lighted matches
touched the inflammable material.
The fire alarms were rung and the
stores of the oily were deserted, as
their occupants rushed to the square
to witness ih burning.
Just as the pile was fired Conway
Y’ounger, husband of the murdered
woman, jumped at Henderson and
slashed him across the face with a
knife. Henderson gave no indication
cf pain or suffering. He rolled his
syes to get a glimpse of the angry
faces which surrounded him and there
was a slight movement of the hands.
In ten minutes Henderson was dead.
At no time did he make any ontcry
other than an occasional groan.
The negro made a full confession
after arriving at Corsicana, telling how
he went to the Younger home and at
tempted to assac't Mrs. Younger, how
she fought for her honor, how finally
angered at her resistance he attached
her with his knife, how the two chil
dren screamed in fright when they
saw their mother’s life blood crimson
ing the floor, and how Mrs. Younger
fell across the doorsteps. He then
fled, bat looking hack saw his victim
staggering down the road aimlessly,
falteringly; she- fell and lay still, then
he turned and ran.

Wednesday morning, when Govern

Corsicana was about to burn the negro,
he wired Colonel Hardy, of the Texas
volunteer guards, to mobilize the Cor
sicana troops instanter, and give the
sheriff and his prisoner nil possible
protection. It seems, however, that
the citizens’ committee learned of the
mobilization of troops, and forestalled
them by capturing the negro and
burning him before the troops could
arrive.

LAPSE IN CANAL.
No Further Move In Treaty flat
ter Is Expected For Some
Time to Come.
A Washington special says: No
step has been taken by either side
since the delivery of the British note
treating of the senate amendments to
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and it is
understood that none will be taken in
the immediate future. The treaty ex
pired March 5, and it is stated positi
vely that at this moment our govern
ment is undecided as to whether or
not it shall attempt to draw anew
treaty with Great Britain.
It is said that before anything of
this kind is done the administration
will take steps to learn the views of
senators and the party leaders in
congress. There will be no treaty
submitted to the senate except upon a
pretty clear understanding that it is
strong enough to secure the vote of
two-thirds of the body. It is said at
the slate department that the British
communication will not be given out
for publication for the present.
A suggestion was made Tuesday that
au international congress to be held in
Washington might prove the best
means of harmonizing the differences
and bringing about a common ground
of understanding. Such a congress, it
was pointed out, was held to deal with
the Suez canal problem, and out of it
grew the Suez convention which con
trols the usage of that waterway.
There is reason to believe that the
project of an international congress at
YVashington would meet with favor
from several of the European maritime
powers, which have not up to this time
taken a prominent part in canal affairs.
On the other hand the idea of a con
gress met some opposition when iu
informaliy suggested to diplomat
ists who have taken a leading part in
the canal negotiations.
The Nicaraguan minister, Senor
Corea, said today that he had no com
ment to make upon the rejection of
the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty,
except to say that almost it was but &
temporary cheek to the project, which
was of such importance to the com
merce of the world that differences
would in time be arranged and the
great project realized. The minister
regards the present state of affairs as
a sort of bridge which will lead the
way to a correct solution of the pro
ble, and he is hopeful as ever that the
actual work on the waterway will not
be long deferred.
A dispatch from London says: The
foreign office officials are nettled at the
cabled statement that no opening is
left for further action in the case of
Great Britain’s reply to the United
States’ notification of the senate’s
amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. It is pointed out that Great
Britain’s reply invites farther pro
posals from the United States. More
over, the foreign office understands
that something uf this sort is already
contemplated in Washington.
It is said that there is no desire on
the part of the British government
that the matter should be dropped.
They confidently expect further nego
tiations, aud hope for a satisfactory
conclusion, though this does not les
sen their insistence on the integrity of
the Claytou-Bulwer treaty until both
signatories consent to its abrogation.
Lord Cranborne, tne under secre
tary for foreign affairs, in the house of
commons Tuesday, referring to Great
Britain’s reply to the United States’
senate’s am ’'dments to the Hay-
Pauncefote t.eaty, added that the
British government was not engaged in
negotiations with any other power.
