ANNOUNCES HIS BACK DOWN
Thus China Is Freed From Threat

ington Gratified.
A dispa+fch received in London Sot
j urday front St. Petersburg nays it is
j learned frem a trustworthy source that
| Russia’s diplomatic agents abroad
| were instructed on April 3d to com
| municatc to the governments to which
they are accredited an identical note
in the same terms as that presented
by Count Cassini to Secretary Hay.
1 The text of the identical note, as it
; appears from news which has come to
i hand, is as follows:
“That, in the present circumstances,
as a special agreement in the Manchn
ria affair instead of being an open tea
timonial-'of frjendly sentiments on the
part of Russia toward China might
entail various difficulties for the neigh
boring state. Knssia does not in any
way insist upon the conclusion of any
such agreement and even abandons
all possibility of negotiations in this
! government. Inasmuch as lire impe-
I rial government ever adheres faithfully
to its origiual and oft-repeated pro
gram it will quietly await the further
course of events."
WASHINGTON IS GUAD.
[ A Washington special says: The de
termination of the Russian govern
ment not to press to a conclusion ne
gotiations begun some time ago with
the Chineee government in regard to
Manchuria, has uatufaily given great
satisfaction to the goveiutuent of the
United Htatea.
President McKinley is uodeestood
to recognise in this act of the czar
another pracf of his sincere regard for
the harmony of the powers now en
gaged i® negotiations in China aud
nie determination to do nobbing
to ini|H<de the speedy and aat
i*factorr esmelusion of these oegotia
tione. *<> in* ift it is an act wcetby
of the euiighteued sovereign also ini
tiated the conference of The Hague.
The government of the United States
i is especially gratified by this tormina
tion of the late complication, as it lias
constantly been in harmony with that
of Russia in all Uie main point# of our
jlpolicy in China.
It is the belief generally entertain
ed in government and diplomatic cir
cle* in Washington that no motive ean
be assigned f or thia resolution of tbl
fcsr, as it was dearly within the discre
tion of Russia to jpursue whatever
eourae that government thought beat
for its interests, and it may be said
with absolute certainty that nothing
in the way of pressure or of combina
tion has been pat upon the Russian
; government to induce thia result. It
*s true the government of the United
fctatee on the tirat of March made
known its views <M the matter and
communicated them with entire frank
ness to all the powers inter
ested, has been made to Russia or to
China.
WCSSIA’S WOED BOCBTEO.
lUaeeia’s attitude toward Manchuria,
as outlined by The Official Messenger,
of St. Petersburg, is interpreted al
most unanimously by the British press
as capable of being condensed into a
single sentence, “J’y snie; J’y reste’
(I am here, i remain here), and there
is no disposition to believe the matter
is thus ended.
The London Standard, which
-throughout has taken a moderate
stand, declares that if Russia goes
back on her promise now given as to
the integrity of China and proceeds
to assume in Manehuria the authority
denied her by formal stipulation, she
will have to confront not only the pro
test bat the armed might of the ener
getic nation which, under the rule of
the mikado, is conscious of its strength
to aid the greatness of its destinies.
Japan, the paper adds, will have the
sympathy and support of nearly all
the powers interested in the far east.

LYNCHED FOR fIURDER
%’oung White Man Swung Into
Eternitjr By Mob at Osceola,
Arkansas.
May Hear*, of imtora, Ark., wav
taken from the oountv jail at Osceola
■ Saturday morning between I and ‘2
o’clock and lynehed.
The victim of the mot) wan a young
whiteman, the won of J. R. Hearn,
one of the moat respectable farmers
living in the neighborhood of Lucora,
and the crime for wrthieh he was hang
ed was the shooting of Clyde King, of
Luxora, on tke night of March 31st.
The lynching vm a very quiet affair,
as the mob that participated in it was
thoroughly organized. It seemed to be
made up largely of persons from
Luxoia, as the uietnl>ers entered Osce
ola o&i horseback and not over half a
dozen.eitizeus of the place were aware
that a lynching had taken place until
daylight dawned.
The mob, numbering about fifteen
persons, entered the city about mid
night. Sen trie* were posted along
the main streets and a posse was sent
out to effect the capture of Deputy
SkeriffLee Goodrich and Night Watch
man Sliipworth. Both officers were
found by the posse and after their cap
ture they were disarmed and compell
ed to accompany the lynehers.
Deputy Sheriff Goodrich had the
key to the jail in his pockets, and
these were taken possession of by the
leaders of the mob. Arriving at the
jail the lynchers entered.
Hearn sank ou his knees and began
to pray. Although his sentences were
almost incoherent, ho insisted that he
had not killed King from malice, but
that the shooting was accidental. The
mob, however, was unmoved by his
prayers and petitions for mercy, and ;
placing a rope around Hearn’s neck, j
they took him from the jail and hanged !
him to a treo.
After it was found tnat Hearn was |
dead, the mob, in an organized body,
left the scene of the tragedy and rode
out of the town.
The body was left dangling in the |
air until about 9 o’clock, when it was
cut down and turned over to hi3
family.

Georgia Commissioner of Agricul
ture Suggests Reduction of
Cotton Acreage.
In his monthly talk for April to the
farmers Commissioner 0. B. Stevens,
of the department of agriculture, .lays ,
stress upon the importance of keeping
the cotton acreage within proper i
bounds, advice which the farmers
must heed if they expect to get nigh
prices for their staple next year. At
the outset Mr. Steve us says:
“The season of 1813 and 10(10 was
the best that the farmers of Georgia
have known in many years. The cause j
of this prosperity is known to all. A
large percentage of all supplies were
raised at home ami the comparatively i
short crop of cotton brought good !
prices. Thfc United States statistician
estimates the crops of Georgia for j
1900 as follows: Corn, 34,119,530
bushels; wl eat, 5,011,133 bushels;
oats, 7,010,040 bushels, and hay, 190,- i
237 tons. The cotton crop was some- j
thing over 1,200,000 bales.
“The average prices for these crops
were: Corn, 57 cents a bushel; wheat, |
95 cents; oats, 40 cents, and hay, $12.-
75 a ton. The average price for the j
cotton was 9 cents a pound; but this
does not include the good profit made |
on cotton seed. It is siucerely to be j
hoped that the acreage of cotton will j
not be increased, and that those who I
seek to run down the price of our j
great staple will lie foiled iu their at- ,
tempt. With a cotton crop not larger
than that of last year, and with good !
seasons and full crop of corn and the
small grains, the prosperity which a
year ago began to dawn upon the agri
culturists of Georgia will mount still
higher toward the zenith.”
An interesting feature dealt with is
, the hay crop of Georgia, on which the
; commissioner says:
“One of the most gratifying signs
j of agricultural progress in Georgia is
| (he fact that the <19,7(19 tons of liny
| harvested in 1890 had increased to
190,237 thus in 1900, valued at $12.75
a ton, or $2,425,521.75 for the entire
i crop. This gives promise of more arid
better breeds of dairy and beef cattle.
There is no reason why Georgia should
not raise just as good beef, and have
just as rich milk and cream and de
licious butter as are furnished by the
great grass growing states of the west
and northwest. We have lands on
which alfalfa, Timothy, clover and
even blue grass respond to the farmer’s
labors with aluiudaut harvests. At
the same time there is no more nutri
i tious food for cattle than that fnrnisb
| ed by our own native grasses, crowfoot,
j crab and Bermuda, and that marvel*
| ous restorer of exhausted soils, the
I peavine.”
One of the most interesting features
of the monthly bulletin is a letter by
| State Chemist McOandless, in which
he repeats tho results of bis analyses
of Georgia wheats and with them
presents a table of analyses made by
Dr. H. W. Wiley, of the United States
agricultural department. Both of these
analyses, as Dr. Wiley admits in a
letter to Dr. McCandless, go to dis
: prove the statement issued by the de
partment at Washington to the effect
■ that “the poorest wheats are grown in
i the southern states." Dr. Wiley writes
I that the samples of wheat sent him by
! Dr. McCandless certainly make it nee
essaiy to modify that statement with
j regard to some localities in the south,
j Dr. Wiley’s analyses bore out the re
j suits attained by Dr. McCandless all
through.
GEORGIA CONVICT RECEIPTS.
, State Prison Commissioner Issues In
teresting Quarterly Report.
The quarterly statement of the
Georgia prison commission showing
the receipts which will be derived from
the lease of convicts for the quarter
ending March 31st was completed
Tuesday, and sent to the comptroller
general.
The statement shows receipts from
the lease of convicts of $51,014.40 for
the quarter, the largest amount re
ceived for any quarter under the pres
ent lease system. This is the first
time the amount has ever gone over
ssl 000, or as high as that, and it is
about S9OO larger than the amount re
ceived for the quarter previous.
The state takes in about $203,000 a
year for the lease of convicts and the
expeuses of the system are about
$120,000 annually, the clear gain to
the state beiDg more than SBO,OOO.
Thus in the last two years there has
been turned into the treasury of the
state from the convict system $165,-
000 in cash, and if the improvements
made at the prison farm be taken into
consideration, the amount turned into
the treasnrymay be considered $200,-
000.

MANY RAILWAYS
FOOL INTERESTS
A Bic; Combine Reported
as in CuiittiTipidCon.
ENGINEERED BY J. P. MORGAN
Object Said to Be Formation of
Community of Interest Un
der One Control.
A Cincinnati special says: A .gigantic
amalgamation of four railroads, it is
said, l;as just been * ffi cted. Ihe
roads are the Southern railway, the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
and the Cincinnati Southern. J. Pier
pont Morgan is reported to have formed
the combine.
This consolidation has been fre
quently agitated iu connection with
the pending renewal of a lease of the
Cincinnati Southern to tho Southern
railway, but the officials of the two lines,
deny that anything has yet been done
that w ill warrant the announcement of
consolidation.
There, was no information obtainable
at the Southern railway offices in
Washington regarding the reported
amalgation ot' railroad interests. All
j of the officials possibly competent vo
! talk regarding the alleged deal are out
j of the city. All of the roads men*
1 tioued are on specially friendly rela
j tions.
; The Cincinnati Southern is stated 1o
; be owned jointly by the Southern aid.
| the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton*
! The Mouon road, otherwise the Chi
! eagn, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, is
i said to be closely identified with the
; Morgan interests and thus have close
relations with the Southern. There
is also a strong freight traffic relation
between the Southern and the Cincin*
j nati, Hamilton and Dayton.
Reports that huge railroad combin
ntious are in process of formati* ir
were widely circulated in New Tok
Detailed statements concerning II <3
plan already published looking to the
, combination of all the great railway
systems of the United Htates under
the control of one company were giv
en, but as a general thing prominent
j railroad officials and bankers declined
j to discuss the matter.
According to all accounts the enter
j prise involved the greatest combine*
j tion of capital known in the history of
, finance. It was said the company
I would be formed under the laws of
New Jersey for the purpose of eon*
j ducting a general freight and trai.s
--; portatiou business throughout the
1 United Htatep; that- the company would
hold a controlling interest in ail of the
i great railway pystims and that the
, management of the roads woftld be
| vested iu the controlling company.
According to the proposition, each
| load would preserve its identity aid
corporate existence, but the new com pa*
ny would control the affairs of all. By
j this policy it was claimed large sums
i of money could be saved as a result of
i economies in management and the
1 stopping of rate enttiug. The names
[ of men like J. I*. Morgan, William K.
i Vanderbilt, James J. Ilili, Edward H.
Harnraan, George J. Gould, John D.
: Rockefeller, Jacob H. Hchiff and Jan,
j Stillman were freely used.
I One report stated that the first step
! iu the proposed plan would be tho
j securing of control of the stocks of life
| Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the
I Erie, the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, and that provision would
be made for the acquisition of other
properties in the immediate future.
All that is aimed at, according to the
| best authority obtainable, is a com*
i munity of interest. Tho close amal
! gamation of a community of interest
; basis was first brought about through
the efforts of J. Pierpont Morgan. As
a result of this close union of interest
t ruinous rate wars are already at an
end, not so many high-priced officials
are needed as before, and one can buy
a ticket on any trunk line iu almost
any one of the large offices in the cit
ies. However, that a single company
will be formed under the New Jersey
laws to take over all the railroads of
the country is not considered seriously
by well informed railway men.
