Brief Bat Interesting Summary
of Happenings in the State.
Outlook Feu- Cotton Gloomy.
The weekly reports continue to he
generally of a discouraging character.
Crops have suffered from excessive
rains in nearly all counties, and are
much in need of cultivation. The con
dition of cotton is on the whole poor,
and numerous correspondents eonsid
er the outlook gloomy. Peaches are
rotting and shedding in many sections,
and less than an average output is in
dicated. Good crops of wheat and oats
have been secured.
Especially in counties in the middle
of the state are reports on cotton un
favorable, also corn.
Schley and Upson counties indicate
a poor outlook.
Weather conditions have been unfa
vorable to all crops. The temperature
the past week has been seasonable,
but too much rain causes an abnormal
growth of weeds and grass. Farmers
find it impossible to keep the crops
clean. All crops are suffering badly
from excessive rain all over the state.
Especially on low and bottom lands,
corn and garden products are being
drowned out and left almost a total
loss.
* * *
Newnan’s strict Sunday Law.
The chief of police of Newman has
been instructed to rigie.y enforce the
Sunday ordinance in the city. Begin
ning last Sunday the soda founts, cig
ar stands and bootblacks were placed
under the ban, and nothing w r as al
lowed to be sold but ice, drugs and
medicines, and no work done except
of necessity. Sunday has heretofore
been the principal day of "shines” with
me population, and it’s likely that dus
ty shoes will become the strict order
of the day.

Adams Succeeds Denmark.
Hon. S. B. Adams, of Savannah, has
been appointed a trustee of the Uni
versity of Georgia to fill the vacancy
on the board caused by the death of
the late Brantley A. Denmark. Mr.
Adams was a member of the firm of
Denmark, Adams & Freeman, of Sa
vannah, ail three of the members hav
ing been graduates of the university.
Mr. Adams is city attorney of Savan
nah. and has filled many positions of
importance and trust.

Elberton Gets Long Distance.
Elberton Is to be connected with At
lanta by long distance telephone. R.
L. West, superintendent of the Bell
system in Atlanta has obtained from
the city council a U-anchise for put 3 ,
ting up a long distance phone. The
only gap is between Elberton and Ath
ens, as the Bell runs from Atlanta to
nens already.
* * *
Donation From Peabody.
The University of Georgia alumni
endowment fund received a handsome
increase Saturday morning when
Chancellor Hill opened a letter in
his morning mail postmarked New
York. The letter bore the signature
of Hon. George Foster Peabody and
in it was sent his check for $5,000. The
check was sent as the contribution of
Mr. Peabody to the endowment fund
now being raised by the alumni socie
ty of the university. Mr. Peabody is
not an alumnus of the university, nev
er having attended college here, but
as the endowment arrangement em
braces friends of the institution as
well as alumni, Mr. Peabody was glad
to subscribe himself a friend to the
handsome amount of $5,000.

Two Rural Delivery Routes.
The Lawreneeville postmaster has
received notice from the post office de
partment at Washington to establish
two rural delivery routes from the
Lawreneeville post office to take effect
July Ist. The routes are designated
as Nos. 1 and 2 and pay SSOO each.

Widows Must Wait.
Not only must 9,000 Georgia teach
ers, as a result of the supreme court’s
decision in the Park mandamus case,
wait for the salaries now due them
by the state, but some 1,000 confeder
ate widows must also wait indefinitely
for the $60,0u0 or more which is now
due them under the pension bill ap
proved by the people and passed by
the legislature at its last session. The
teachers themselves may be able to
get their script cashed by the banks,
but there is serious doubt as to wheth
er or not the widows will be so for
tunate, in view oi the fact that their
warrants may not be so readily accept
ed by the banks.
• * *
Governor Will Borrow Money.
There is no other solution to the
state's financial muddle brought about
by the litigation over the public prop
erty fund according to state officials
but that the teachers must wait until
fall for their money.
Governor Candler has decided to
borrow $200,000, and will make ar
rangements to do so as soon as he
gets a statement of the treasury’s
status from Treasurer Park.
The governor will make an effort
to get this $200,000 from the state de
positories at 2 per cent, the same rate
of interest as they pay to the state.
Whether or not he can do this, he does
not yet know, but it is thought proba
ble they will willingly lend the money
t othe state.
The public property fund will re
main in the state depositories where
it has always been kept.

JUDGES FOR ISLANDS
Eleven American jurists Given

General Cailles Finally Signs Agree*
ment of Surrender With His
Force of Some Five Hun
dred Men.
A Mnaila special says: Seventeen
judges have been appointed to the
courts of first instance. Among these
appointments there are eleven Ameri
cans, who have been given the most
important circuits as follows:
Manila, Kincaid of Texas and Odlin
of New Hampshire; Aparri, Blount of
Georgia: Dagupan, Johnson of Michi
gan; Batangas. Linebarger of Illinois;
Nueva Sacerae, carson of Virginia;
Ilioilo, Bates of Vermont ; Negros, Nor
ris of Nebraska; Cebue, Carloek of
Illinois; Zamboanga, Ickis of lowa, and
probably be more than 500.
Washington Satisfied.
Colonels Infant and Guivara, repre
sentatives of General Cailles, Satur
day signed the name o. their principal
to an agreement to surrender. Under
the terms of this agreement General
Cailles is to assemble his men at San
ta Cruz, laguna province, as quickly
as possible, and there surrender him
self and his command to the Ameri
can autjorities. The exact number
of his force is uncertain, but there will
probably bemore than 500.
Washington Satisfield.
Officials of the war department are
very well pleased with the prospective
surrender of General cailles, the Fili
pino insurgent leader. Advices receiv
ed at the department indicated that
this would occur soon. Cailles is a
man of considerable influence and with
his backing of some hundreds of men
has been a menace to the military
authorities to stamp out the rebel
lion in Luzon. His capitulation, there
fore, is regarded with much satisfac
tion by the authorities here, who say
they see in it another evidence of the
general disintegration of the insurgent
force.
For more than a year past General
Cailles has commanded the insurgent
forces operating on the east side of
Bay Lake not far from Manila. He
Is said to be a French half caste, and
during the last revolution he has ac
quired a reputation for vindictiveness
anu cruelty.
The Society of Mando-Ducats, whose
practice it was to assassinate and bury
alive those of their countrymen who
\ accepted American sovereignty when
ever the latter fell into their hands,
operated with the cognizance, if not
the support of General Cailles. At
one time Cailles offered a reward of
$lO for the heads of all Americans, and
more recently he offered a reward of
SIO,OOO for .he head of Captain Edward
N. Jones, Jr., of the Eighth infantry.
Since the capture of Aguinaldo Gen
eral Cailles,who was one of the few
insurgent leaders who diu not surren
der under the terms of amnesty, has
been persistently pursued by the Amer
ican troops. He was said to have been
wounded in one engagement last
month, and negotiations for his sur
render have been going on with Gen
eral Sumner for some weeks past. He
was declared to be an outlaw by the
American authorities, and this fact,
which meant that he could not expect
to enjoy immunity for his violations
of honorable warfare,but would have
to stand trial on the many charges
against him, doubtless compelled him
to prolong his resistance.
The members of tbe federal party
advised him to surrender, but this he
persistently refused to do until he saw
his capture was inevitable.
Cailles was a man with considerable
influence with the Filipino people,
and an aggressive fighter. He kept his
followers well in hand, his system of
mobilization was exce’lent. In the
mountains of La Guna province, where
Cailles practically confined his opera
tions, he had many advantages over
the American troops frequentily sent
to dislodge him, and rendered their ef
forts futile. He is credited with the
Sinaloian affair last year, in which a
few American troops were badly cut
up.
MISTRIAL IN KENNEDY CASE.
Jury Unable to Decide Fate of Dolly
Reynold’s Alleged Slayer.
A New Yont dispatch says: The
twelve men who, since 12.15 o’clock
Saturday afternoon at the conclusion
of the judge’s charges considered the
evidence in the third trial of Dr. Sam
uel J. Kennedy for the murder of
“Dolly” Reynolds, reported to Judge
Newburger at i0:2o o’clock Sunday
morning that they were unable to
agree on a verdict. The judge at once
discharged the jury from further ser
vice and remanded the prisoner to the
Tombs.
Depositories to Keep Funds.
The depositories of Georgia will keep
$532,750 of the state’s money for the
next fifteen years. This point has been
practically settled by statements made
by Governor Candler and Treasurer
Park.

LOOMIS GOES TO LISBON.
Former Minister Plenipotentiary to
Venezuela Gets a More Con
genial Assignment.
The following changes diplomatic
posts was announced at Washington
Monday:
Francis B. Loomis, minister to Ven
ezuela. nas coen transferred to be
minister to Portugal. vie< John N. Ir
win. of Illinois, resigned.
Herbert W. Bowen, of New York,
present minister to Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas, sx:creedjng Mr.
Loomis as minister to Venezuela.
Lloyd C. Griscom. of Pennsylvania,
present first secretary of legation at
Constantinople, has been made min
ister to Persia.
Spencer F. Eddy, of Illinois, present
second secretary at Paris, bas been
made first secretary at Constantinople
to succeed Mr. Griscom.
Arthur Bailly Blanchard, of Louisi
ana, has been promoted from third to
second secretary at Paris.
By his transfer from V< uezuela to
Portugal. Minister Loomis, who is now
on leave in England, loses $2,500 a
year. The salary at Lisbon is $7,500
and that at, Caracas SIO,OOO per an
num. But Mr. Loomis finds sufficient
compensation in the climatic change
and in the probability *.A more conge
nial duty at his new post. Beside, his
actual rank is the same in either case,
namely, minister extraordinary and
envoy plenipotentiary.
Mr. Bowen, who becomes the new
minister to Venezuela, has a most
creditable record in the consular and
diplomatic service. He became Uni
ted States consul at Barcelona in
1890 and his office at that post was
raised to the rank of consul general
five years afterwards. Mr. Bowen
stuck to his post through tlie exciting
days preceding the Spamsh-American
war as long as any American could
have found safety on Spauish soil. At
the conclusion of tne war he was about
to return to his old post, but instead
was appointed minister resident and
consul general to Persia.
The change so far as it concerns
the Venezuelan minister is said at The
state department to have no particular
political significance. Mr. Loomis,
goes elsewhere than Caracas at his
own request and desire, it is true that
the Venezuelan government has ex
pressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Loom
is in more ways than one. but the fact
that the minister is not removed from
the diplomatic service, but is given an
other post of equal dignity and hon
or, is a mark of the esteem of the state
department. Also, it may be noted,
Mr. Bowen, the new minister, goes to
his post with instructions on the same
line as those supplied to Mr. Loomis,
which formed the basis for his action,
so that Mr. Bowen, who is a man of
great vigor, is likely to follow Mr.
Loomis’ footsteps in the matter of
policy.
STRIKERS FAIL TO RESPOND.

Virtually Close Down.
Twelve hundred men from the va
rious departments Monday wsre laid
