ANNOUNCES HIS BACK DOWN Thus China Is Freed From Threat of Manchurian Grab—Wash 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. ABDUL ANSWERS BILL. ©ld Turk Professes Great Piety 3nd Humble Submission.

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. CASTOniA.

The Kind You Have Always Bought StoTJ. of ADVICB TO hARMtRS j 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. THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND HEN i Will Soon Be Mobilized In Manchuris By the Czar of Russia. “By the end of May,” nays the Mos cow correspondent of Tbe London Daily Graphic, “the Russian army in ■ Manchnria will number 300,000 men.
