The Jones County News M. C. GREENE, Publisher. THE CHINESE OUTRAGES Minister Denby la Exerting Ills Very .lleNt Efforts. By Southern Associated Press. Washington, Ang. ‘J.—Appeals for the protection of American missionaries in China have been coming into the Stall Department this morning by telegraph and mail front religious organizations who have missionary stations in tii.it country. Some of them allege that Miu ister Denliy is not doing Lis duty and indieate a slate of feeling that might naturally be caused by the press dis- patehes showing the outrages, but it is hardly consistent with the efforts which tlie department, Mr. Denliy and Ad¬ miral Carpenter are making to secure adequate protection for all Americans iu China. Ihe few 1 dispatches received at the department front United’ States consuls in China have liee .11 acted on promptly. Minister Denby has been in¬ structed lo use bis best endeavors to provide protection for Americans. Mr. J. Courtney Hixon, the United States .consul at Foochow, has in¬ formed the State Department that the American Mission Chapel at Pan¬ yak has been looted and directions have been cabled to Mr. Denby to take cognizance of the matter. This is believed to be the place given in press dispaches as Inghok. It not appear upon any official maps spelled as the press have it, but it is understood to be 40 or 50 miles from Foo Chow. Naturally the transmis¬ sion of such unfamiliar nomenclature over thousands of miles by operators by various nationalities is very diffi¬ cult. The State Department has found some difficulty in identifying the places where missions are situated, frequently small towns which are In many instances omitted from the map. The letters and telegrams received from missionary organizations in this country have been answered promptly and coupled with the information that Minister Denby is doing all that can be done to protect Americans, and ex¬ pressing confidence in his ability to secure the best results. It would be of great help to the Department if all the American missionary societies having missions in China would speed¬ ily send the details requested and es¬ pecially of those who have written in regard to current outrages. Righteous Indignation. New York, Aug. 9.—A. B. Leonard, D. D., corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Church Missionary Society, said this afternoon regarding the recent Chinese outrages, The cablegrams which I received during the last few days fully confirm the publish¬ ed reports of molt violence In China. From them I judge that our Govern¬ ment is lax in demanding protection for our citizens in China from that na¬ tion. I notice that English citizens is Hong Kong held on indignation meet¬ ing at which several telegrams were It seems to me England and must do somthing more than to simply demand indemnity for property destroyed. That policy has been pur¬ sued ever since missions were es¬ tablished there. People have been kill¬ ed, property has been destroyed there time and again and Chiua has gotten off by paying indemnities and without giving any guarantee for the securty of life. If the Chinese Government is not aide to protect foriegners it is time it is known and understood then foreign governments will send and take a hand in this matter of protection. I)r. Leonard refused to give out publication the letter which he sent to Secretary Olney as a protest against tlie inactivity of the United States Govern¬ ment. Neither the Episcopal nor Pres¬ byterian missionary societies have been informed of outrages. Rev. Ellwood, D. D., secretary of tlie Presbyterian board of missions said to a reporter this afternoon; “When any of onr missionaries have been killed tty a mob we are sure to be notified by cable at the earliest possible moment. Since no notifications have arrived we feel assured that such disaster has not befallen our missionaries. United States .Minister Denby, who lias befit criticised by several prominent opponents of missionary societies for not taking steps to investigate outrages and demand satisfaction for cruelties infiiete I spoil American missionaries, is defen 1 ed by Dr. Ellwood, who says in this re¬ gard: I regard Minister Denby as one of the most efficient and satisfactory representatives that our Government lias in China. He has shown an intelligent ireciation of the offices of missions, ■rteil himself to secure protection of missionaries, as well as of other resi¬ dents, and to claim for them indemnity win n they have suffered losses.

THE CASK OF THE STATE VS. THE CENTRAL it A IL It OH. THE .11 VEILS CASE HAS KEEN POST- POX K’D IXT1L THE 20TI1. An Escaped Prisoner ruptured—.Mrs. F. A. Thomas Head. Atlanta, Cia., Aug. 9.—(Special)—A very interesting and important caee is now being considered at the Oapttol. it is Hie dispute over the right of way of the Cen¬ tral Railroad into the Atlanta Union De¬ pot and the State of Georgia, which has laid claim to this right of way on the ground that it is a part of the original grant to the Western and Atlantic Rail¬ road. The strip of land runs from For¬ syth street to Loyil and is estimated to lie worth $100,(100. It- passes directly through the heart of the city. The Central Railroad came into posses¬ sion of it liy the purchase of the Macon and Western Railroad, which was the owner of the original line from Atlanta to Macon. The Macon and Western had a deed to the right of way made by Samuel Mitchell in 1846, but the State claims that Mitchell had already included their strip in need lo the Western and Atlantic in 1811, two years before the title claimed by the Macon and Western. The Central Railroad has, however, been in continuous and undisturbed possession of the property for over twenty years and claims that this would make ito title valid even if ihe Mitchell was not good. On the other hand the State claims that its title never lapses. The Legislature in order to settle the dispute authorized an appointment of a special committee and Governor Atkinson named Judge John L. Hopkins, of Ai- antt, Hon. H. W. Hill, of Meriwether and Col. J. H. Jones, of Dalton. Attorney General Terrell and Special Attorney W. A. Winstock represented the Slate’s in¬ terest while Hie Central Railroad s attor¬ neys Lawton and Cunningham represent that end. The Myers Case. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 9.-(Special)—The hearing of the motion tor a ne w trial in the Myers case which catnc up before judge Hart, at Union Point today, was rot concluded, but goes over until August 26th, when Judge Hart will come to At¬ lanta to conduct the hearing. In continu¬ ing the hearing Judge Hart framed an order that all affidavits in the ease muwt be tiled at least three day.- before the hear-, ing. The attorneys for the defense have been presenting many new affidavits with¬ out allowing the Slate time to meet them, the latest being tiled late yesterday. This, of course, puts the prosecution at great disadvantage and Judge Hart’s order was framed on their application. One of the newest affidavits in the celebrated ease is to the effect that Col. W. C. Glenn of counsel for the prosecution undertook to juggle with one of 'the jurors. The State will meet this affidavit and Ihe others al¬ leging the discovery ot Brown Allen wtih counter affidavits which they believe will defeat the motion for a new trial. Lacewcll Recaptured. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 9.—(Special)—John Lacetvell the man who escaped from Jailer Mardis yesterday, after having been sur¬ rendered to the sheriff by his bondsmen, was retaken between 1 and 2 o’clock thin morning, about five miles from the city.

Lace- well is now under close confinement in the county jail. He declares that he did not', intend to skip out, but only wanted to gel rid of a pistol isffore he was search¬ ed by the jailers, and thus escape the pen¬ alty for carrying concealed weapons. Mrs F.

THE STKAXRKD \ EG POES, I’b<‘ Government Will Furnish Them With Tents, Cots und Medicine. By Southern Associated Press. Washington, D.

By Southern Associated Press. Washington, I). C., Aug. 9.—The hearing to convice Comptroller Bow¬ ler that lie should pay the sugar bounty as authorized by the last Con¬ gress was continued today, Senator Caffrey, of Louisiana, taking the floor. In opening he said he understood Mr. Bowler to maintain that the power to say a law is not a law because in¬ valid for unconstitutionality was lodged In the executive branch of the Government and that an executive officer, by virtue of his office and of the statutes, had the right to ques¬ tion the constitutionality of a law. Mr. Bowler remarked that that view was substantially correct. Senator Caffrey contended that the judicial power was lodged in the judicial de¬ partment alone and that the law in question was constitutional. Even conceding the act to be unconstitu¬ tional, the power of Congress to ap¬ propriate money was unlimited, es¬ pecially when that body attempted to repair a wrong or Injury inflicted by Itself. The Government, he said had been conducted since its foundation under the Constitution and no such claim as was now advanced by tlie comptroller had ever been made be¬ fore. It was a suit between the ex¬ ecutive and legislative act brivgU^ ortn^chlef of the Government. Any of one of the great departments or one of his subordinate officers, was tlie act of the department itself, and In this case we have the extraordinary spectacle presented of an executive officer trying to thwart, by constitu¬ tional doubt, the act of the legislative bran ffit. The citizen and the citizen only ne held was armed with the power of • questioning the constitu¬ tionality fot any act and it must be tested th ^he judicial branch not be of in the the Oovernmeift. It could nature ofcthfhgs, he said, that this ex¬ traordinary “power was vested in the executive branch of the Government. Senator Caffrey spoke until 1 o’clock, when a recess was taken until 2 o’cloA. Resuming his remarks after luncheon Senator Caffrey said that Senator Manderson had shown that for a long period of years it has been the policy of the Government to grant bounties to stimulate trade and pommerce. Under the Constitution Congress had the right to regulate commerce and to legislate for its benefit. He held that in granting the bounty in question Congress had in contemplation the increase of the pro¬ ducts of the country; therefore the benefit of commerce and the people. In this case Congress, in view of the industrial depressfon had taken of a wide, comprehensive and just view the question. During the late war he said, the Government had received a shock, a jar it was thought would throw the Constitution car off the track, but after the carnage was over, all forces marched in the way pointed out by the Constitution and in one direction. The Constitution had returned to its basis unmarred by the dreadful con¬ flict. The step contemplated by the comptroller, said the senator, was one of fearful responsibility. If the execu¬ tive and judicial branches of the Gov¬ ernment were merged into one we would have a monarchial form of Gov- ernment. If the framers of the Con- stitutlon had thought this possible under the Constitution as it stands it would have been drawn differently. The evil consequences which would flow from such a grant were so dangerous fhat they had never thought of such a thing. Mr. Bowler asked several questions regarding decisions as to the constitu¬ tionality of the law. Senator Caffrey In his answers held that while minor courts could pass on such matters, a decision could only bo rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States. At the conclusion of Senator Caf- frey’s remarks an adjournment was taken until tomorrow, »b.cu Judge Semmes, of Louisiana, will lie heard. VcnncIn VV i t Inlrn «v 11 By Southern Associated Press.

Tlien are, however, $ lS,<Mi<i,4uti of gold certifi¬ cates outstanding leaving the free gold as above stated a ttitle over one Unit dm! and three millions. Treasury offi¬ cials express tln« hope that next week will bring a turn in the tide and that gold will begin to Dow to litis side ot the Atlantic, On Hie other ha ml in other quarters ot the Treasury there seems to lie a feeling that during this tiioiMli ami September there will lie unusually large withdraw ills of gold through an organized effort. This fear is based mi the assumption that according to the terms of the eon- tract any bonds offered before October ist must lie offered to the syndicate and that no such bonds will lie offered tin less I lie conditions requiring their is sun nee are forced upon the administra¬ tion. This idea is not countenanced about Hie Secretary's office where there seems to bo complete satisfaction over existing conditions. MISSISSIPPI DEADLOCK.
