National Manufacturers’ Association
In Its Tenth Annual Convention
Held In Atlanta, Ga.
Tho annal convention of the Na¬
tional Association of Manufacturers
of tho United States was brought to
a close in Atlanta Thursday night
with a brilliant address by Hon. Vfo-
tor H. Metcalf, secretary of tho de¬
partment of commerce and labor.
After reviewing the growth of Amer¬
ican trade and after calling attention
to the fact that European manufac¬
turers are obtaining possession of
markets that belong to the American
manufacturer, Secretary Metcalf be¬
gan his peroration with:
“Tho time, gentlemen, Is ripe for
American invasion of foreign mar¬
kets, especially tho markets of the
1’aciflc, and it will he your own fault
it you do not at once start an ag¬
gressive and determined campaign for
the purpose of securing these mar¬
kets.”
President Roosevelt was given a
round of hearty applause by the splen¬
did audience when, in presenting Sec¬
retary Metcalf, Congressman Living
Eton said:
“Secroiary Metcalf is in Atlanta as
the personal representative of that
roan who is winning his way into
the hearts of the people of the north,
and of the south—”
A burst of applause interrupted
Colonel Livingston, and upon its con¬
clusion he completed his sentence.
“And of the east and west.”
Regarding the progress of the south,
Mr. Metcalf said:
"It is highly fitting and proper that
this, the tenth annual meeting of the
National Association of Manufactur¬
ers should be held in the city of At¬
lanta, in which city, as I am inform¬
ed, the first impetus was given to tho
birth of the association. It is also
proper that at this time and before
this audience I should eay something
about the industrial growth and de¬
velopment of the south and a few
words also as to the part which the
great state of Georgia has taken in
that development, I, for a long time,
•have taken a deep interest in the
Southern states and have been more
than gratified at the wonderful prog¬
ress made by those states. There io
no section of the country today moro
prosperous than the south and the
signs all points to a continuation
of that prosperity.
“From 1890 to 1900 tho population
of the southern states increased 22.7
per cent, but between 1890 and 1903
the population increased 30.1 per cent;
between 1890 and 1900 total bank and
trust deposits increased 69.8 per cent;
between 1S90 and 1903 they increased
159.3 per cent; between 1900 and 1903
the value of the property assessed
increased 18.3 per cent; between 1890
and 1900 the value of farms and
farm property increased 35:4 per
cent; the value of agricultural prod¬
ucts, gross, increased 78.4 per cent;
tobacco, pounds, 84.1 per cent; when-,
bushels, 102.9 per cent; corn, bushels,
41,4 per cent; cotton, raw, bales, 29.1
per cent; during the same period the
value of raw cotton decreased 9.4 per
cent, but between 1890 and 1903 the
production of cotton increased 37.2
per cent., and tho value 78.7 per cent;
the value of cotton manufactures in
the ten year period between 1890 and
1900 increased 128.8 per cent; coai
production, tons, 149.3 per cent; man¬
ufactures, value of the product, 67.0
per cent; value of lumber and timber
products 108.2 per cent, being an in¬
crease of ninety-six and a half mil¬
lion dollars, cr 74.9 per cent of the

nine million dollars for the entire
United States.
PRINTERS FOR OPEN SHOP.
Employers of Southeastern States
Unanimously Endorse Plan.
The open shop was endorsed and the
eight-hour day condemned by the em
ploying printers of the southeastern
states, who met in convention in At¬
lanta Friday, and affiliated with the
International United Typothetae.
The entire session was executive,
none but employing printers being ad-
mitted. Those present, however,
stated that the adoption of the res¬
olutions condemning the eight-hour

GERMAN YACHT IN LEAD.

BATTLES SOON EXPECTED
8fc. Petersburg Now Anxiously Await
ing News of Collisions with Japs
Both on Land and Sea.
With u suspicious stoppago of dis¬
patches from Manohuria and a strong
possibility that Vice Admiral Rojest¬
vensky has out his last communica¬
tion with home and set forth on tho
final Btago of his Journey to his goal,
either Togo or Vladivostok, keen in¬
terest Is manifested in naval and mil¬
itary circles at St. Petersburg In tho
two-fold field of war.
Through the admiralty, which has
been completely silent since the ad¬
vent of Rojestvensky in the Chinese
sea, publishes no dispatches, the con¬
viction is growing that the united
squadrons departed from the Annani
ooast immediately after their Juncture
and naval officials are anxious expect¬
ing news of the first skirmishes be¬
tween scouts of the hostile fleets.
On the military side ,the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping
for the preliminary stage of another
gieat battle. The Russian army has
been refitted and is ready for action,
and it is asserted that General Llne-
vitch is not the man to waste days
in inaction.
A further mobilization of cavalry
in one or two districts was ordered
Wednesday, hut no large draft is re¬
quired, as reinforcements for the cav¬
alry arm are at hand in the recently
embodied Cossacks, whose departure
Manchuria was postponed in an¬
ticipation of May day troubles, the
most of whom can now resume the
trip eastward.
A special from Saigon, Cochin-Chi¬
na, says: Admiral de Jonquires, the
French naval commander at Saigon,
who has been cruising along tho An-
nam coast on the cruiser Guichen, has
returned to port. According to in¬
formation gathered concerning tho
Russian fleet, Admiral Rojestvensky
showed absolute disregard of the dis¬
cussions on the subject of neutrality.
The Russian commander proceeded as
if his position gave him complete in¬
dependence. He declared that ho act¬
ed on his own judgment and said that
criticisms did not change his opin¬
ions.
Iron discipline, it is added, was
maintained on board the Russian war¬
ships.
POLICE RAID POOL ROOM.
Atlanta Men Arrested on Charge of
Violating Betting Ordinance.
At Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday after¬
noon, a squad of detectives and po¬
lice raided the office of the National
District Telegraph company and the
pool rooms of James Dunning, at the
corner of Alabama and Pryor streets,
and after tho doors had been held
and all the inmates corralled until
tlie officers had made a full investiga¬
tion, nine arrests were made and the
men taken to the police barracks,
where they were allowed to furnish
bail.
The charge against the men was
violating the city ordinance, which
prohibits the betting on any kind oi
races and makes it unlawful for a
person to have any place in the city
where bets are taken under any cir¬
cumstances.
The National District Telegraph
company opened an office in the city
only a few days ago; and about the
same time the pool rooms of Jim
Dunning were opened. It wes report¬
ed that the two places were run in
conjunction for the purpose of taking
bets on horse races. In the pool
rooms there are many large black¬
boards, on which all the latest news
about the races is daily posted. A
man with chalk and rubber is kept
busy at the blackboards every after¬
noon.
In the telegraph office, which Is
next door, a corps of operators are
at the tickers, and the news of the
races is furnished for the pool rooms.
It was claimed by the telegraph
company that other business than that
of horse races was received, and that
in sending money orders and tele¬
grams for bets to places in other
cities, no law was being violated.
FRANCE FEARS YELLOW MEN.
Anticipates a Raid Upon Indo-China
by Japanese Forces.
M. Francois Deloncie, republican,
deputy for Indo-China, has submit¬
ted to the special parliamentary com¬
mittee on naval affairs in Paris a
remarkable report on the urgent ne¬
cessity for strengthening the defenses
of Indo-China against the peril of a
Japanese invasion.
“Indo-China,” he says, “has only two
enemies to fear, namely, Japan alone,
or China encouraged and supported by
Japan.”
A BOOST IN TURPENTINE.

board of trade, spirits climbed to

GUAY. JONES CO.. GA.. THURSDAY. MAY 25, 1905.
I BIGAMIST HOCH DOOMED.
Modern “Bluebeard’’ Convicted ot
Wife Murder In Chicago.
In court at Chicago, Friday, Johann
Eloch, who by his own confession, is
several times a bigamist, and who is
charged by the police with having mar¬
ried at least forty women in the past
fifteen years, was found guilty or
murder and the death sentence rec¬
ommended by the Jury. The crime for
which Hoch will bo led to the gallows
was the murder of his last known
wife, Mrs. Marie Welokor-TIoch. Hoch
had been married to the woman but a
few days when she became suddenly
ill and died. He then formed an alli¬
ance with the sister of the dead wo¬
man, Mrs. Flsohor, and, securing the
latter's money, fled from Chicago. This
woman, In quest of revenge, notified
the police that Hoch had poisoned
her sister, and a search for Hoch
was begun. Ho was found two week*-
later in Chicago and confronted by
several of his supposed wives. During
the trial expert testimony was of¬
fered by the state that Hoch had poi¬
soned the woman by administering
arsenic.
The verdict was one of the
quickest on record in Cook county,
the jury having reached a decision in
less than half an hour.
“Well, I guess it's all off with
John,” groaned Hoch, as the verdict
was read in court, but it was plain
he was greatly affected. He had sat
in a stooping position, hut when the-
dreaded word “death” was reached he
turned pale, stared hopelessly at the
Jurors and then sank limp in his chair.
Hocli's attorneys will ask for a
new trial, although the condemned
man, after reaching his cel], declared
he was ready to die, and would be
better satisfied if they did not make
the effort.
"I wish they would .hang me to¬
night, now that I havo been found
guilty,” declared Hoch. “I am nc.
afraid to die and the sooner it is
over with the better.”

nesday morning amid great enthusi¬
asm.

turers, in convention assembled, do
reaffirm our adherence to tho prin¬
ciple of the open shop as embodying
the true epirft of American liberty in
industrial affairs and urge upon all
employers of labor in the United
States that they adopt same in their
dealings with their' employes.
"Resolved, That wo congratulate the
people of the United States upon tho
progress made in the establishment of
this principle in the conduct of the
industrlal concerns of the country dur-
ing the past year. Its ultimate tri-
umph is assured. Closod shop agree-
ments being unlawful and In violation
of the principles of true American¬
ism, cannot stand and will surely
bring disaster to those who are par¬
ties to them.
“Resolved, That we, as employers,
should give the j-outh of our country
the same individual liberty as was
gained for us by the sacrifices of our
forefathers and we pledge ourselves
here to use our utmost endeavor to
make sure that there shall he In our
respective establishments no limita¬
tions permitted which will prevent any
ycung man who so desires from learn-
in the details of the trade of his
choice, which Is clearly his own right
as an American citizen, and that it
is the plain patriotic duty of overy
employer to see that this right is
not abridged by any limitation what¬
ever In the employment of appren¬
tices.”
The following resolution was unan¬
imously adopted:
“Whereas, during the prevailing
teamsters’ strike in Chicago many
crimes and outrages on personal lib¬
erty have been daily committed In
flagrant defiance of the law and 'au¬
thority and to the reproach of gov¬
ernment and civilization:
"Whereas, tho good citizens of Chi¬
cago, awakened to the fact that tho
questoon at issue is that of liberty
or thraldom, have with one accord
allied themselves on the side of law
and order and have emphasized their
determination to maintain their birth¬
right of life, liberty and pursuit ot
happiness, therefore, im It
“Resolved, - That the National As¬
sociation of Manufacturers approves
the recent utterances of President
Roosevelt in Chicago when, in refer¬
ring to organized lawlessness, he said
that back of the city is tho state
and back of the state is the nation;
“Resolved, That this association ex¬
press its great appreciation and high
admiration of the business and law-
abiding citizenshp of Chicago in tho
determined and courageous efforts to
restore the streets to the free use of
all its citizens and to re-establish and
maintain those individual and proper¬
ty rights now contested by the team¬
sters’ organization.”
An interesting fight on the railroad
rate question had been waged behind
closed doors and in hotel corridors
since the convention of manufacturers
began, and was not settled until Wed¬
nesday afternoon, when the following
resolutions were adopted:
"Resolved, That wo favor the act¬
ive enforcement by the executive de¬
partment of the genera! government
of all existing laws to prevent tho
giving or acceptance of rebates or

vice) to or by favored shippers, and
we call upon tho Interstate commence j

CHINA TO RETALIATE.
Will Boycott All American Goods on
Account of Our Exclusion and
Deportation Laws.
China will oppose to Chincso exclu¬
sion its boycott of American goods.
This was announced officially Thurs¬
day by the Chinese legation in Wash¬
ington.
Asked what was meant by the nc-
tion of China In deckled not to pur¬
chase American goods, tho Chinese
minister said:
"It means business. Ch?na will not
buy a yard of American goods whilo
America violates her treaty obliga¬
tions by excluding or deporting Chi¬
nese.”
The Chinese diplomat explained that
tho treaty of 186S between China and
America gavo America full freedom
of intercourse. Chinese, under that
treaty, could come to America, and
America could trade with China. This
treaty was modified by the treaty of
1880, which provided that tho United
States and China might make an
agreement excluding Chinese labor¬
ers. This was done in 1894 by a
treaty limited to 10 years, which trea¬
ty expired last year. The expiration
of this treaty, tho Chinese diplomat
asserts, places the two countries in
the position in which they wore
placed by tho treaty of 1880. Ev¬
ery Chinaman oxcluded or deported
is excluded or deported in violation
of the treaty obligations of tho Unit-
ed States to China. Tho only way in
which there can bo any such exclu-
slon, tho Chincso hold, is by a treaty
providing for 11. No such treaty is
now In force,
Among other interests which will
suffer severely from the boycott ar»
the cotton growers and millers of the
south, China being a largo consumer
of American cotton and cotton goods.

Wood has been campaigning, havo
been killed in action together with
ail principals. The outlaws wege sup-
porters and followers of the Sultan
of Sulu. Tho largo chiefs of the
Island of Joio were also Involved,
The outbroak was an aggregation of
piratical outlaws and disorderly char¬
acters of Sulu and the other islands
stretching down to Borneo.
Tho position selected by tho out¬
laws for tho battle was an almost im¬
penetrable Jungle and exceedingly
strong, prohibiting tho uso of artil¬
lery and necessitating close contact
and an assault in two instances. Gen¬
eral Wood’s forces sustained a loss of
nino killed and twenty-one wounded.
Tho wounded are doing well, Tho
constabulary had two killed, Tho
latter woro highly praised by General

Assassin in Warsaw Stumbles Caus-
| Ing Deadly Explosion of Missile
Which He Carried.
A workman who was trying to avoid
tho observation of two detectives on
Miodowa street in Warsaw, Russian
Poland, Friday, at noon, stumbled 01 .
the curb of the sidewalk and a bomb
which hq was carrying In his pockets
exploded, killing the workman anu
both detectives and wounding twenty-
throe persons. It Is believed tho bomb
was intended for Governor General
M'aximovltch who was expected to
pass • the spot on his way from the
cathedral, whore ho was attending
the service in honor of the czar’s
birthday.
The bodies of tho victims were lit-
eraliy blown to pieces. A cafe near
the scene of tho explosion was em¬
tirely demolished, all tho windows in
the neighborhood were smashed and
a laipp pest was torn out of Cio
ground.
The man who was carrying the
bomb has been identified as a Polish
shoemaker named Dobrowski, a mem¬
ber of the violent sootion of the so-
clalists. Many arrests havo been
made since the explosion and the
police are busy making house to
•house searches.
This is tho sixth pocurrence of sim¬
ilar character in Warsaw since the
January disturbances. The editors of
Polish papers in Warsaw have decided
to publish, if the censor will permit
it, strong articles denouncing such at¬
tacks. I
It is stated Governor Qeneral Max-
lmovitch recently received an anony¬
mous letter threatening that as ho
had allowed men, women and children
to be shot down on May day, so he
would bo killed with bis wife and
children, tho writer adding that oven
remaining within the castle would not
save them from that fate.
Tho governor general had recently
been threatened with a bomb attack,
particularly since the May day dis¬
turbances. The police accordingly ex¬
ercise the greatest vigilance when¬
ever he leaves the castle. After the
officials had entered tho cathedral, the
detectives observed a poorly dressed
man loitering on Miodowa street.
When the man saw the detectives
he ran towards the entrance of a con¬
fectioners store when he either tripped

OYAMA BEGINS ADVANCE. I
Strike at Russian Right Is Planned by
Jap General.
According to advices from Manchu¬
ria the present truce Is expected to
be broken by the Japanese, They
are showing overy evidence of prep-
a-y.tion to assume the offensive, con¬
stantly shifting positions and pressing
tho Russian left, where the cavalry
forces are dally exchanging shots. The
demonstration on the Russian left,
however, is probably only a feint to
cover the real stroke at tho right.
This Is thought moro probable because
of tho care with which the Japanese
are screening tho movements on their
left, using Chinese bandits freely for
this purpose. Tho attempts of tho
Russian scouts to pierce the curtain
havo not been successful.
A dispatch received in St. Peters¬
burg from Gen. Linevitch says:
“A small detachment of the enemy
May 16 occupied Yando pass in front
of the armies. The Japanese also at¬
tempted to occupy Shahot.se, but wero
repulsed and retired southward. Tho
same day the Japanese approached
IJonsukhu, about six miles south of
Taul, but were forced to retire.”
