CIAL CONDITIONS OF CCUNTRY
SOMEWHAT RELIEVED.
Pekin, June 21,—Gens. Feng Kuo-
Chang, Ni Shih-chung and Chang Hsun
and many other southiern military lead
ers have telegraphed io President Li
Yuan-hung assuring him of their sup
pori. He is very generally supported
by the Chinese press in all parts of
the republic and there are indications
that the southern provinces will of
ficially indorse his administiration, al
though they are somewhat slow in
dcing so and have made demand for
the removal of certain cabinet mem
bers and adyisers before they fall in
line.
Strained financial conditions = seem
gsomewhat relieved. The new Presi
dent has consented to turn over $600,-
000 from his own personal savings to
assist in resuming specie payments
on the notes of the government banks.
The quintuple group of bankers who
arc holding $20,000,00 surplus of the
salt monopely for the Chinese govern
ment have also shown a willingness to
turn this money into the treasury.
I.i Yuan-hung refused to go to the
palace to take the oixcial oath, and
was sworn into office in his own home
outside the imperial city. The cere
mony was of extreme simplicity, and
only high officials attended. |
Monarchist newspapers seem to be
joining with the republican organs in
praising Li Yuan-hung.
The Li Yuan-hung administration is
keeping as far as possible away from
the practices of an emperor. Flags
are to be flown at half-mast for twen
ty-seven days in honor of the lamented
president, and all officials are to wear
black hands on their left arms after
the European practice. - Official en

FLLOODS ENDANGERED
PEACH SHIPMENTS
S
Atlanta, July 22.—The Carolina
floods which carried away railroad
bridges came near playing havoc with
(Georgia p(‘a(sl shipments and had it
not heen for tlie quick work of the
Georgia TFruit Exchange, in conjunc
tion with thé railrocads, many cars
would have been lost.
All peach business south of Macon
had to be diverted by way of Augusta,
and the Atlantic Coast Line, while
business from the Atlanta, Birming
|ham and A{t]ul![ic, and from the
Southern to Columbus and William
-501, is being sent through Chatta
nooga, Knoxville and Bristol. There
was a full trainload of peaches in At
lanta when the bridges went down.
Manager B. J. Christman of the ex
change succeeded in getting them out
by way of Augusta with only about
three hours delay. The railroads have
made new arrangemenis with regard
to icing cars, and practically no delay
is now being expeirenced with the
movement.
The railroad damage came right in
the midst of Georgia’s biggest peachi
shipments, when they are movjng at
the rate of 100 cars a day, and for a
while it looked serious, Dbut every
thing has been worked out, even to
the supplying of empty refrigerator
cars which were also cut off from the
‘uust. but have been secured north and
west.
On account of heavy receipts of
peaches at New York and Philadelphia,
some coming from Arkansas and Tex-
Aas, there has been a (l('(.']im’. in
prices in those markets. The first of
the week there were eighty cars in
New York of which, however, only
twelve were Georgia Fruit Exchange
cars. The probobilities are the West
ern shippers will net go any more
into these markets until the Georgia
movement is out of the way.
Georgia's big peach shipments will
end this week. From then on they
will get gradually less. The total ship
ments this year will be somewhere
close to 3,000 cars or slightly o\'er,th€-I
oxchange estimates having been cut
down as the result of the heavy rains.

HARRIS REFRESHES MIND OF
DORSEY ON CLEMENCY
Atlanta, July 21.—Governor Harris‘
declared yesterday that he will not
give Ex-Solicitory Hugh M. Dorsey an
other opportunity to side-step the is
sue ccncerningv executive clemency by
claiming that he “doesn’t recall’ ask
ing Governor Harris to exercise clem
ency in thirteen cases and waiving ob
jecticn to clemency in four others.
In his subsequent speeches Govern
or larris will take the record along
with him and read it, and will read
the letters written by Dorsey while he
was solicitor, asking that clemency be
exercised in behalt of this and that
prisoner. : i
In his Cartersville speech the gov
ernor said Dorsey was going over the
state denouncing executive clemency
and making it an issue in his cam
paign, while on the other hand the
record showed the facts above-stated
with regard to seventeen cases.
The ex-solicitor replied at Dawson
and Cuthbert that he “didn’t recall”
{hat e had ever asked the governor
to exercise clemency.
Yesterday the governor “refreshed
his memory” by citing the fact that the
petitions of the ex-solictor are mat
ters of record.
There are two cases in which Hugh
Dorsey petitioned for® executive clem
ency that have not been mentioned as
vet by Governor Harris, but his friends
are daily urging him to call them to
the attention of the people as a final
and complete answer to Dorsey’s agi
tation in regard to the ‘“upsetting of
juries” ete. The governor has been
disinclined to make use of these cas
es, although the ex-solicitor is directly
involved in both of them, and his
friends declare it is because of the
governor's natural kindness of heart.
