STREET PREACHERS JAILED.
Mayor (f Atlanta Stops Worshiping oil
Public Thoroughfares.
Atlanta, April 10.— The police ar
rested a number of street’ preachers
here yesterday afternoon. In the patrol
wagon, as they shouted and sang hymns,
the men and women were ridden to the
police barracks, where, after a consulta
tion, Acting Chief of Police Joiner and
Captain Thompson decided to make
cases against two of the leaders to test
the matter, and all the others were per
mitted to go.
ihe arrests were made because the
mayor had refused to give the street
preachers permits which they are re
quired to have before they can hold
open-air meetings. These permits must
be issued by the mayor and counter
signed by the chief of police, who
designates the territory which the
bearer of the permit can occupy when
bolding the outdoor meetings.
About a week ago Mayor Woodward
said he had decided to issue no more
Permits to street preachers, as they had
become a nuisance, and were no credit
to true religion.
Already the ministers of the city are
alking about the action of the police,
senie thinking the interference was un
warranted and others saying that street
preaching had reached a condition to
call tor police regulation.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
Governor Johnston Now Wants the
Constitutional Act Repealed.
Montgomery, Ala., April 11.—The
calling of an extra session of the legis
lature is probable. The last session of
the assembly enacted a law providing
for the holding of an election next July
to determine whether a convention
shall be held in August to revise the
constitution of Alabama with reference
chiefly to the elimination of the negro
from participation in elections.
Last month a convention of the Demo
cratic party of the state met here and
nominated 33 delegates representing the
senatorial districts of the stato and
adopted, by a 2 per cent majority, a*
platform declaring in favor of the call
ing of the convention, pledging the
party against any action of the conven
tion that would deprive any white man
of the right to vote, promising not to
change any of the provisions of the
constitution relating to taxation, cor
porations, removal of the capitol, repre
sentation, etc.
Advocates of the convention promptly
insisted that the state convention’s ac
tion committed all Democrats to the
support of the constitutional convention
and the party lash has been vigorously
applied.
Governor Johnston, who advised the
legislature against providing for the call
for a constitutional convention, but
recommended instead that a suffrage
amendment be proposed and voted on in
the next general election, has been so
much impressed recently by formidable
opposition inside the party to the call
ing of the convention that he has sent a
circular letter to each of the members
of the assembly asking their opinion
and advice as to reassembling the legis
lature and giving the lawmaking body
a chance to repeal their constitutional
convention law.
There appears to be a strong proba
bility that the special session will be
convened.
An Kxtra Session Favored.
Montgomery, Ala., April 12.—Tele
grams received at the governor’s office
indicate that a majority of the members
of the general assembly will advise the
executive to reassemble the legislature
and gave them an opportunity to repeal
the bill providing for the holding of a
constitutional convention. The tele
grams referred to are in answer to the
oircular letter addressed by the gov
ernor to each of the members of the leg
islature, requesting their opinion and
advice as to calling the legislative body
to assemble again.
Itrv. Robert A. Fair Is Dead.
Savannah, April 12.—Rev. Robert
Anderson Fair, an aged Presbyterian
minister, formerly of the South Caro
lina presbytery, died here at the resi
dence of his son, Rev. James Y. Fair,
pastor of the Independent Presbyterian
church. The deceased was lieutenant
colonel of the Seventh South Carolina
regiment during the civil war, and en
tered the ministry after the war. The
Interment will be at Abbeville, S. Q.
NEW CONFLICT DEPLORED.
Chances of Adjusting the Samoan Dis
pute My He Kniburrassed. ,
Washington, April 12.— At the Brit
ish aud Gerwau embassies the news of
another bloody conflict in Samoa was
received with deep concern. Sir Ju
lian Pauncefote expressed his profound
regret at the collision at a moment when
he had hoped the trouble was in a fair
way to adjustment. Mr. Eliot, the
British commissioner to Samoa, also de
plored the event. The British officials
were quite confident, however, that the
chances of a settlement would not be
pestroyed by this affair, although they
might be somewhat embarrassed.
At neither of the embassies had a
word of official information been re
ceived, and the American Press accounts
were therefore scanned with great in
t rest
The German ambassador, Dr, von
Holleben, stated that while he was en
tirely without oliicial advices he deeply
regretted to hear that there had been
further loss of life. In all diplomotio
quarters there was a disposition to treat
the news as grave, but not as disrupting
the plans for a settlement. A sharp
difference has developed between the
British and German foreign offices as to
getting the high commission off for Sa
moa on April 19. Lord Salisbury says
the commissioners cannot be instructed
by telegraph so as to get away on April
19. The British view is that there is
no chance of getting away until next
month. The following official German
view was given to the Associated Press:
“After Germany aud the United
States had arrived at such an under
standing that the commission could
have left San Francisco on April 19
England raised new difficulties of such
a complicated nature that they cannot
be dealt with telegraphically. Germany
feels justified under the circumstances
to hold the name of her commissioner
still back.
“The Berlin news that Germany would
demand satisfaction for the arbitrary
action of Admiral Kautz is not credited
in official German circles and seems to
be malicious invention. The whole
question on account of Samoa is pend
ing at present, not between the three
powers, but between Germany aud Eng
land.”
Situation More Critical.
The news from Samoa was received
here with a feeling approaching dis
may. There was a refusal on the part
of the higher officials to discuss the sad
event. The secretary of the German
embassy called early in the day upon
Secretary Hay. Neither of the officials
would disclose anything as to the na
ture of the exchange that took place.
The arrest and detention by the Brit
ish naval officials of a German subject
is one of the most dangerous features of
the controversy. It is said that the
consuls of the three powers stationed in
Apia claim extra territorial jurisdiction
involving the right to try the subjects
of their respective countries for any
offenses alleged to have been committed.
Under this practice the German consul,
Rose, may deifiand the surrender of the
German subject. If the man is guilty
it is considered improbable that the
British will yield unless upon some ade
quate guarantee that he is to be suffi
ciently punished. It i9 not believed that
Rose will make such a promise.
It is believed that Admiral Kautz,
with the co-operation of the British,
will continue his efforts to bring the re
bellious natives to terms. This is not
likely to be an easy task in view of the
small force at his command, but it is
possible that the British government
may accept the proposition of the au
thorities of New Zealand to send a regi
ment of soldiers to Apia.
No protest thus far has been lodged at
the state department against Admiral
Kautz.
Americans For Samoa,
It is announced that although the
three powers signatory to the Berlin
treaty have practically agreed upon the
instructions under which the Samoan
commission will act, the administration
will maintain a strong American force
at Apia.
The collier Brutus is going to Apia,
where she will remain until the collier
Scindia arrives, when, if the situation
permits, she will proceed to Guam. The
collier Abareuda will soon start for
Pagopago, where she will take station
as guardship pending the construction
of a coaling station at that point. These
colliers have fairly large crews and sev
eral rapid firing guns, and will be use
ful in case of another scrimmage with
the natives.
It is expected that the Samoan com
mission will leave for Apia on the
steamer sailing from San Francisco on
April 19. Mr. Tripp is now on his way
to Washington and Freihrr von Stern
berg and Mr. Eliot, the German and
British commissioners, are in Washing
ton. To reach San Francisco in time it
will be necessory for the commission to
leave Washington Friday.
Daring the three or four months of the
stay of the commissioners in Apia it
will attend to the government of the
islands, superseding Maiietoa Tanus,
the municipal council, the consols and
the chief justice and their retention of
the offices will be determined by the
commission.
Legislature Removes Judges.
Nashville, April B.—Some of the
judges whose courts have beeu abolished
by the legislature haviug declared their
intention of holding office anyhow, and
of testing the constitutionality of the
act, there were put through the general
assembly formal notices by resolution
of an intention to remove the judges
and attorneys general involved. The
constitution gives the legislature the
right to remove judges by resolution,
and this will remove all possibility of
litigation over the acts heretofore passed.
