Frealtlent to Smnjfiit Indemnity Kor Ital ians Killed In Louisiana. A 'Washington dispatch Hays: Tho president will recommend to congress the payment of an indemnity to the families of tho four Italians who were the victims of a mob at Tallulah, La., about two years ago. A report lrom a special agent of the department of justice clearly estab lished the fact that the men were kill ed by the mob, and none of the perpe trators of tho crime were ever pun ished l>y the state authorities, not withstanding tho representations of the national government.

SCHRIEBER’S STEALS Eiizibstbport Bink Heavier Loser Than Offioials Thought. A WOMAN DEVELOPS IN THE CASE HlielfT Hlete* Furniture mid l’pr#nl Kffecl* of Mr*. Ilnrt, tn Alleged Con federate of Sclirieber. A New York dispatch says: Another discovery was made Friday at the Elizabethport bank, which increases the stealings of defaulter Schreiber to j $109,716. Several months ago an envel ope containing $6,000 in United States bonds was placed for safe keeping in the bank by a resident Elizabeth. 1 When he called at the hank Friday for the deposit it was found the envelope had been carefully opened and the bonds abstracted. Judge Gilhooly, the bank’s attorney, said the institu tion was responsible and the loss would be made good. The furniture aud personal effects of Mrs. Hart, the woman upon whom young Schreiber is said to nave lavish ed the money of the Elizabethport hank, have been removed to a storage wartnouso by order of the sheiiff. Three large furniture wagons were required to remove all the contents of the luxuriously furnished apartments. Mrs. Hart was present and angrily and tearfully protested against tho removal of what she claimed to be her own personal property. What is believed to be a warrant for the arrest of Schreiber was issued late Friday afternoon by Police Justice Multan, of Elizabethport, after a Lur ried aud secret conference in Chief Tenney’s office at polico headquarters with President Heiclriter, of the bank. Schreiber is believed to be in hiding in this couutry. Eminent lawyers, it is said, agree thut the bank has a strong criminal case against Mrs. Hart. The question of jurisdiction in this case is said to be settled conclusively by section 549 of the penal code, whioh states that any person who has at any place with out the state stolen or received stolen goods and has brought such property within the state, may bo considered as having committed the crimes there in. This jurisdiction being eettled, the prosecution will base its charges against Mrs. Hart on section 29 of the penal code. This section states that any person concerned in crime shall he considered a principal in the act. Startliug developments, it is as sertod, may come out of all this, en abling the bauk to recover $15,000 aud Mrs. Hart to keep her property, and, wlint is more important, to be freed of all prosecution. When the writs were served on Mrs. Hart she said she could prove that Bhe had “other friends” who had given her the rich treasure which the banks then claimed its defaulting bookkeeper had given her. If Mrs. Ilart persists in making a completo statement in court about her sources of wealth, it is alleged she will state necessarily the names of these men. WHAT HOAR SAYS. Aged Massachusetts Senator Analyse* tlie Democratic J’latform, Senator George F. Hoar delivered an address at the Republican rally in Concord, Mass., Friday night. He analyzed briefly tho Democratic plat form, held Mr. Bryan responsible for the adoption of the war treaty, aud said the Democratic lender was not sincere in his attitude toward imperi alism. Ho said: “There are undoubtedly many per sons in tho Republican party who have been carried away by the dream of empire. They mean, I have no doubt, to hold on to the Philippine islauds ferever. But they do not constitute tho strength of the party. I believe Aguiualdo and Mabini entitled to self governmeut. I believe also that Booker Washington and Robert Small nre entitled to self-government. “I have little respect for the declar ation of love of liberty of the men who stand with one heel on tho forehead of Booker Washington, of Alabama, and the other on the forehead of Robert Small, of South Carolina, and wave tho American flag over Aguinaldo aud Mabini. You are not helping the cause of auti-imperialism by going iuto partnership with Bryan." RIVER STEAMER SINKS. Struck Sunken L,o*--Hr Forty or Fifty I’maoiitrr) Were Rescued. The steamer Joel Cook, of the regu lar lino of steamers between Savannah and Augusta, Ga., enuk in the river just above the Ceutra! railroad wharves Friday night. The steamer had just started on her return trip to Auguta, with a good cargo and some forty or fifty passengers, mostly negroes. yho strnck a sunken log or some other obstructions in the river about two miles above the city and slowly settled into the water until only her cabin was left above the surface. The passengers were all saved with the aid of the tug Forest City. THE NEELY CASES UP Supreme Court Advances Them For Hearing November 12th. OTHER IMPORTANT CASES ARE SET One Is the Question of the Constitution’* Kxtension Over Our New Possessions. Monday the supreme court of the United States granted the motion of the government to advance the Neely cases and assigned them for hearing November 12th. The caftes came up from the federal court of New York on the decision of Judge Wallace de nying a writ of habeas corpus. The government is very anxious for a de cision which will settle tho constitu tional questions involved. The court also assigned for the same day the two cases which involve the great question as to whether the con stitution extends over the new posses sions of the United States. One is the caso of Boetz, a New York tobacco importer, appealing from a decision of the United States district court for the southern district of New York, affirm ing the decision of the board of gen eral appraisers making tobacco dutia ble under the Porto Rico tariff act. The other comes to the supreme court under tho title, “Fourteen dia mond rings vs. the United Slates.” It comes up in April from the federal court of Illinois. One Poke, a soldier of a South Dakota regiment, who served in the Philippines is the claim ant. When he returned home from the Philippines he brought with him the diamonds. They afterwards were seized by the federal authorities in Chicago and confiscated as smuggled goods. Through Peke’s agency suit was brought to recover them on tho ground that as the Philippines were part of the United States within the meaning of the constitution no import duty could be levied, and that the dia monds were not dutiable, and there fore were unlawfully seized. The lower court in both instances sustain ed the action of the federal authori ties. During the day the court Lauded down several decisions. In the case of Daniel G. Wiley, plaintiff in error, vs. Siukler and other election officers, of South Carolina,' for refusing to al low the plaintiff to vote for a member of congress, tho court held that Wiley’s right to vote for members of congress was undoubted, but that the plaintiff, having failed to register, that defect was fatal. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The case of Alice Weil rs. the Unit ed States was dismissed on motion of the plaintiff, thus ending the legal side of the famous litigation over the La Abra mining claim, which was set tled finally by the decision of the court last winter. This cae was the last oue on the docket relative to that claim. The court advanced the case of Homer Bird, who was convicted of murder by the district court of Alaska, to tho second Monday in December. Bird is from New Orleans and while on his way to Alaska with some com panions quarreled with them over tho division of food and killed two of them. He was couvicted of murder and is now before the supreme court as a plaintiff in error. GEORGIA ASYLUM CROWDED. Slat© Institution at Milledgevllle Has Two Hundred and Fifty Inmates. Governor Candler has received from Superintendent Powell, of the state lunatic asylum at Milledgeville, Ga., liis annual report, whiob, it is shown, ooutaius some statements and sugges tions that will prove of very consider able interest to the next general assem bly and to the statG at large. As is well known, the state asylum has been greatly overrun with patients for the past year or two, there being now two hundred and fifty unfortu nates in tlio institution. Besides, there are now lying in the jails of Georgia more than 150 lunatics, it is said, awaiting admission iuto the asy lum, but who cannot be accommodated for lack of room. This, notwithstand ing the fact that scores of harmless iucurables have beeu returned to their families under an older passed about a year ago. FERKILL ON TRIAL.

A WAITING GAME AS REGARDS CHINA Uprising Throughout the Empire Seems Imminent —Many Outbreaks Have Already Occurred. A special dispatch from Paris says: Germany is the ouly power which has not replied formally to France’s note on China, though she has verbally ac cepted its terms. Japan’s answer, re ceived Monday, accepts the proposals, retaining only one condition. This refers to the permanent prohibition of the importation of arras. While agree ing with the principal, Japan offers suggestions as to how the prohibition can best be accomplished. A dispatch received at the French foreign office from Hankow dated October 13th says the Chinese court arrived at Sian Fu October 12 th. It is officially understood that if an international conference at The Hague, regarding the Chinese indemnity ques tion, is finally decided upon, it will not discuss with China the amount of compensatiou she must pay, but will confine its labors to fixing and distrib uting the proportion of the indemnity which shall go to the several countries interested. BRITISH TROOPS DISPATCHED. A column of troops was dispatched from Hong Kong Monday morning to the Kowloon frontier, w r ith the object of barring armed refugees,either rebels or imperial troops, from entering British territory when defeated. The rebels are reported to be 3,000 strong thirty miles north of the British frontier. A thousand of Admiral Ho’s troops are In pursuit of them, while two thousand Chinese troops have left Canton, overlaud, to intercept tho rebels. Admiral Ho has informed the gov ernor that the rebellion was carefully planned. The rebels are anxious to conciliate the villagers, hence the ab sence of outrage and pillage, All in dications point to the rising being widespread. Outbreaks occurred si multaneously in several centers of Kwang Tung aud Kwang Si. Appa rently Kang Yu Wei, Sun Yat Sen and the The Triads have amalgamated their forces in tho common cause—the over throw’ of Mauchu rule in south China. Some positive indication of the atti tude of the foreign powers is anxious ly awaited. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. List of New Industries Established Dur ing the Fust Week.

Russian Furs. opln!on has long prevailed tha the finest grades of Russian sables are Invariably reserved to meet the re quirements of royalty and nobility in Russia, and that no such skins are ex ported. Investigation shows, however that Russian sable skins are collected throughout the territories of origin by visiting collectors about in the same manner as skins are collected in the United States, and that subsequently these skins are forwarded to the great fairs in Russia where they may be and are, purchased by visitors, those offering the highest price, independent of the nationality of the buyers. Fol lowing the securing of possession in this regular business way the skins are sent to the different markets of the world. —(Fur-Trade Review. One Reason.
