TAMMANY CHIEF DENIES THAT
HILL WILL CONTROL CONVENTION
ANTI-INSTRUCTION FORCESCLAIM
A VICTORY IN NEW YORK.
If Their Claims Hold Good, the Parker Boom Will
Die a Sudden Death in Georgia.
t
Special Dispatches to the News and Sun.
Atlantic City, N. J., April 2.—
Charles F, Murphey, the leader ol Tam
many Hall, denies thatj David B. Hill
has strength enough to organize the
New York State convention at Albany.
Mr. Murphy is not for Parker, and says
so.
•‘Have overtures been made to you to
agree to a resolution of confidence in
Judge Parker?” he was asked.
•‘I am not for instructions, and have
said so repeatedly.”
“Suppose Hill men are strong enough
to control the convention?”
“That is not to be supposed.”
When asked if there was any truth in
the report that he would not be for
William Randolph Hearst,‘Mr. Murphy
replied: "I am for man
tor the nominee.’’
“Do you think Parker is the strongest
man before the people?”

Your favor of the 26th inst. to Hon
O. B Stevens regarding the insects sup
posed to be the Mexican boll weevil has
been referred to this office.
We have examined the specimens,
and find them to be what is known as
the “blood-weed” weevil, a species sos
Lixus. These are common throughout
the South, occurring in the stalks of
blood-weed and rag-weed. I have at
times noticed them upon cotton,
especially in Texas, but have never
been abie to ascribe any damage to
them. It is possible, of course, that
they may puncture a few boils or
squares, but the cotton plant is not the
regular food plant for them and I do

Albany, N. Y., April 2.—Up Stale
Democratie leaders, who are waiting
with Tammany Chief Murphey for a
free expression by New York delegates
of their preference for the presidency,
i today after an analysis of the returns
from county conventions thus far he'd,
conceded only 150 of the 450 delegates
thus far elected to Alton B. Parker and
David B. Hill.
Revised figures for the conventions
held yesterday and today in various
counties demonstrate that Hill and his
ironclad instruction forces are short
many votes from the 226 necessary to
control the State convention, while the
anti-instruction forces expect within a
week to add enough to the 216 claimed
by them after the primaries to send an
unpleded delegation to St. Louis.
not believe that their eggs are ever de
posited in the cotton squares or bolls, as
is the case with the boll weevil. Were
these insects only about half as long
they would bear a very close resem
blance to the genuine boll weevil.
However, I think you need anticipate no
trouble from this particular insect.
In some parts ot Central and Southern
Georgai cotton anthracnose was quite
bad last year, audit maybe tnat this
disease caused the loss of soiisiderable
cotton in your locality and the trouble
has been laid to this insect.
I shall be very glad to have you send
me any suspicious looking beetles which
you or your neighbors may find upon
cotton. It is likely that the genuine
boil weevil will appear in Georgia
soom-r or later and we wish to locate it
upon it-first appearance if possible and
either exterminate it or at least check
its spread.
Awaiting your further pleasure, 1

COURT DECIDES
AGAINST COLUMBIA
All Obstacles Removed From
Transfer Os Canal.
OPINION OF FRENCH TRIBUNAL.
The Decision of Court Holds Com-
plaint of Columbia Not Receivable
and Plaintiff Must Pay Corts—Ca
nal Work Soon to Commence.
Paris, March 31. —1:45, p. m. —The !
first civil tribunal of the Seine today
decided the case of the republic of Co
lombia against the Panama Canal com
pany in favor of the defendants.
The decision holds that the com
plaint of Colombia is not receivable
and condemns the plaintiffs to pay
the costs of the action. This deci
sion has the effect of removing the
legal obstacles in the way of the trans
fer of the canal concession from the
company to the United States.
The decision is a lengthy document
fully reviewing all the early circum
stances of the concession and setting
forth the various acts of the Colom
bian congress, the treaties, etc., par
ticularly articles 20 and 22, ot the treaty
of March 20, 1897. whereby the compa
ny acquired its rights. These articles,
the decision says, have the,manifest
purpose of assuring the full exerciss
of sovereignty over the canal. It re ;
suits from what is established before j
this tribunal that Colombia is not in
possession of the territory traversed
by the canal. Coming before a French
court in order to sustain its rights
over the canal. Colombia tacitly admits
its inability itself to control the canal
Washington. March 31. —President
Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox
had a conference today subsequent
to the receipt from the Associated
Press of the information that the gov
ernment of Colombia had lost its suit
in the French courts against the new
Panama Canal company., and that now
there was no longer any reason sot
delay in the transfer of the company’s
concessions and property to the Unit
ed States. At the conclusion of the
interview Attorney General Knox an
nounced there now was no more rea
son for delay than might be occasion
ed by the transfer of a transfer of a
title to a 20-foot lot in Washington.
The attorney general said the govern
ment had been proceeding on the as
sumption that the French court w-oul<l
take precisely the action it had taken,
and at no time had very serious con
sideration been given to the proceed
ing instituted by Colombia. He add
ed that the action of the French court
had disposed of the late legal item
which is in actual possession of the
authority and power of administration.
Such circumstances, it only remains
for the Panama' company to accept
the actual situation of authority and
the facts relative to the territory em
braced by the concession. Therefore
the action commenced by Colombia is
not receivable
The decision concludes with the sep
cific recital under the French codfl
that none of the claims set up by Co
lombia, are valid, that its request tn
enjoi-n pending actions is not warrant
ed, that its plea for costs against ths
company is not Justified, and that ths
entire costs of the proceedure are as
sessed against the plaintiff.
The transfer of the property and
consessions will be ratified at the
meeting. W. A. Day and Charles W.
Russell, the assistant attorney gener
al wh ohave gone to Paris to assist
In the transfer of the property, will
remain there until the transfer shall
have been completed. The dissolu
tion or rue Panama Canal company
so far as the transfer of the property
to this country is concerned, probably
will take place in the latter part ol
April. The payment of the $40,060,-
000 to the company will be made
about that time. It Is not likely that
the payment of the $10,000,000 to the
republic of Panama will be made pri<
or to that of the canal company.
DECOY LETTER TRAPS DANIEL.

Buchanan, Ga., April 2. —Haralson
superior court has been in session for
the last two weeks, the present week

cases.
The case of the state against E. N.

and battery on Mrs. Z. L. Witcher, at
Bremen., Ga., on the 29th day of last
October, was put on trtial yesterday
and resulted in a verdict of guilty be

A TRUNK WARDROEE.
Wlirn It Mnkes n Convenient
Itedroom Window Seat.
WJben my baby girl was put into I
short clothes «he required ><> many
dresses that I found the hamper, pre
viously used, inadequate.
A neighbor gave me a sruall, old
fashioned wooden trunk having one
light tray Inside. It was an unsightly
object, being much soiled, both inside
and out I moistened ail the paper lin
ing, then carefully removed it, ami
when the wood was thoroughly dry 1
relined with scraps of wall paper in
a dainty pattern of wild rosea, using
the border for the inside of the top
and ttie bottom of the tray. I fitted
this lining very carefully and pasted
it on.
I covered the outside of the trunk
with denim, tacking through the small
plaits around the top. 1 covered the
lid with a separate piece of denim,
stretched very tightly over a stuffing
of excelsior, and finished with a four
inch rutlie tacked on with brass head
ed tacks. The trunk wb»-:i it is closed i
n . lu . a convenient vv edow seat for '
my bedroom.
The receptacle under the tray Is
thirty inches long and gives ample
room without folding or crushing for (
the two dozen little white dresses, with 1
the cambric and fiannel petticoats.
The tray is convenient for smaller ar
ticles. The little shoes, each pair in
its own box in a corner, and the little
pique reefers mid bonnets, also the
tiny sheets and pillow cases, are easily
within reach. 1 do not see how I
could get along without this device,
which would be equally useful for
shirt waists or lingerie.—St. Louis Re

PRETTY WORK TABLE.

Here is a charming work table made
of some lengths of bamboo and an or

height of the four lengths of bamboo,
which form the foundation for'the ta
ble, are regulated by your individual
taste, and having cut them the required
height cut a slot in each piece, as
shown in Fig. 1, the exact measure

Is then wedged in. (See Fig. 2.)
The top of the box which forms the
table is fixed in the same manner high?

and only require one or two screws
to keep them in place.
The structure being completed, the
decoration must be considered, and
you have endless variety to choose

THE l-IOME DOCTOR.
For snake bite or other poisoning a
poultice of onion is effective.
For any kind of a sore that “Is al
ways getting hurt" protect it well with
a cushion of cotton batting.
When a finger is cut or bruised or
any poisonous wound made, apply tur
pentine freely at once. It takes out the
soreness immediately.
A wash made of witch hazel and co
caine to be applied to the nasal pas
sages when the asthma comes on is an
effective cure for hay fever.
Cloths wrung out of hot water with
which a tablespoonful of turpentine is
mixed is effective in cases of inflam
mation of stomach and bowels.
Anyone can add strength and weight
to his body by rubbing well with oliva
oil after a warm bath. Oil baths are
particularly beneficial to delicate chil
dren.
Thimble*.
A soreness in what is called the thim
ble finger and even serious inflamma
tion are sometimes caused by the use
of cheap thimbles. These thimbles,
which are composed of lead or some
thing equally injurious, may be tempt
ing by reason of their lew price, but
they are not safe. Silver thimbles are
the best, but for those to whom they
prove too expensive nothing Is better
than thimbles of highly burnished
steel. By a person who gains her liv
ing with her needle a steel thimble is
always liked, for it will outlast two or
three of the more expensive silver
ones.
Drippin
Grease, cooking butter and drippings
of any kind that have become “strong”
or discolored may be made sweet and
white by being clarified with bits of
raw potato. Turn all the drippings in
to a deep kettle which has a perfectly
fitting cover and allow them to be*
come heated through. In the mean
time slice and peel one medium potato
for three pounds of dripping. Slice
and throw In and allow it all to cook
together until the bits of potato are
a deep brown. Strain and set away.
When cold a quantity of snow white
shortening material will repay the time
and trouble.

RICE AS FOOD.
Mor* Nutriment tn the Cooked Wat**
Thau In the Grain*.
The rice grains that we eat and be
lieve are nourishing do not begin to
have the real nutriment that is con
tained in the water in which they
have been cooked.
For thousands of years rice has been
the main food of the Chinese, Japa
nese and even the Sikhs of India.
When we atop to think that these war
like nations compose one-third of the
human race and subsist largely on rice,
It seems probable Hint they thoroughly
understand Its prop- riles. But the ori
entals have found that the water that
we throw away after cooking the ce
real is what contains tli6 greatest life
giving properties. In fact, they prefer
the water to the grain as a nutriment
In cases of stomach trouble, so prev
alent In the east. It is used with great
effect and can be retained when even
milk is rejected.
But fur the Anglo-Saxon a delicious
dessert can be made from this same
rice water. After cooking the rice
drain the water ami flavor with some
extract. Bet on the ice to cool, and it
will form n jelly. Heap with whipped
cream or fruit and serve. This makes
not only n tasty but nutritious dish
and certainly an economical one.
Ilouaehold Linen.
Modern housewives are beginning
once more to pride themselves on their
household linen, and this fact is very
evident in the use of tablecloths woven
in the most exquisite and artistic de
signs, the table napkins following
them on a more minute scale. Some of
I the bedroom towels now in use are
very useful both as to fineness and
: pattern, the borders being of floral de
! sign, beautifully handworked in wash
, fag thread or silk. They are finished
with a deep fringe of linen thread,
with a beading of the colors which pre
vail In the embroidery. Many of these
face towels are of the finest Imagina
ble Irish damask, with design and bor-
I der of shamrocks or tiny fleurs-de-Uo.
