AN ESCAPING NEGRO KILLED BY A GUARD, Valdosta, Ga., June 21. —Judge Anderson, known as “Long Boy.” a negro who distinguished himself by breaking out of the heavy iron doors at the city prison about as fust as could turn their backs upon him, was shot and killed Inst, Friday morning by Guard J. J. Stephens, three miles bolow the city on the public road. “Long Boy” was serving a sen tence on the gang and was work ing on the road. He told the po lice officers some timo ago that he did not expect to work on tho gang over a day and a half. This was communicated to the guards, who kept a close watch upon him. This morning ho thought his opportunity to escape had come. Ho was working close to the swamp and made a break for the bushes. Tho guard called to him to stop, but he only raised lus hand and gave tho “highball sig nal.” The guard fired at him, the load ot bullets taki ig effect and killing him almost instantly. The county commissioners made an investigation of the killing and found tho facts about as stated. A BLOW TO WATER WAYS IMPROVEMENT. Practicnlly everybody remem bers the big movement that, was started souio months ago for the improvement of the waterways — especially for the deepening of the Mississippi river from the lakes to the Gulf to fourteen feet. Mr. Roosevelt, who was then Pre sident, gaye it his hearty support, and appointed a commission to make an estimate of the cost. In fact, if we are not mistaken, Con gress made an appropriation to meet the expenses of a survey of the Mississippi. Well, the com mission has made its report,which much to the surprise of all those who were urging the deepening of the rivers, is to the effect that it would be a waste of money so deepen the Mississippi from the lakes to the Gulf, because the be nefits that would be derived from the improvement wouldn’t justify the cost. The cost, it is estimat ed, would be .11128,000,000. It is safe to say it would be dou ble that amount. The cost of such great works is almost always underestimated. The cost of build ing the Pannama Canal was great ly underestimated, and it, would, be easy to mention other great, public works, the cost of which was underestimated. The commission says that the commerce that would justify such expenditure isn’t now shipped by the river and the Inference is that it wouldn’t be even if the river **ere deepened to fourteen feet. ] In other words the commission says that the riyer if improved couldu’t compete with the rail-i railroads. Is that going to he the j the case with Pannama Canal?! That question is raised by the re port of the commission. It is a fact that freights are car- j ried very clte/iply by rail and the indications are that the lowest! freight rates haven't fisen reached ! yat. The railroads are being so j improved that the time may not! be far distant when rail rates will be but little, if any, higher than ; water rates. Freight fates by rail j in this country are lower than j anywhere else in the world. VVill this report respecting the j improvement of the Mississippi; (lave tho effect of checking the : enthusiasm of the Mississippi river improvement boomers? It | probably will*not, but it would he a difficult matter, to get Con- j gross to appropriate isoiiejr for ! tti# Improvement of the river in ! ithe face of this report. —Savan-; jiiah News.

Washington, June 21. —Imme- diately upon taking up the tariff bill the senate agreed to the amendments previously offered by Mr. Aldrich for the committee !of finance relating to flint glazed jand other surface coated papers ; and calendars, cigar bands, etc., composed of lithograph paper. After disposing with little dif ficulty of u number of disputed paragraphs in the tariff bill the senate began consideration of print paper and wood pulp pro visions of the tariff bill. The sub ject was introduced by Senator Aldrich who as chairman of the finance committo proposed an amendment increasing the duty on print paper to $4 a ton. The house reduced it to $2 a ton. Senator Browne offered an amendment to place print paper on the free list. “These very papers that are ask ing for free paper,” said Mr. Till man, “are the very headlights of protection, and they deny me the opportunity to buy this coat or these shoes,” illustrating by pointing to an article of attire, “yet they want free paper.” Mr, Tillman brought bis foot down on the velvet, carpet with resound ing effect as he added, “They are humbugs.” Sheriff Sale.
