the foreign ministers had, before this

tlie foreign residents have been highly

The exodus of Chinese from Shanghai
is unabated. Every steamer is loaded
down and every means of exit is being
used. °
, Tiu - commander of the British first-
ciass cruiser Undaunted, however, has
landed large supplies of rifles and am
munition and guns have been placed in
position at commanding positions, with
the result that foreigners are confident
that they can overcome any attack on
the settlement, into which the foreign
ers from the outer stations are rapidly
congregating.
^ According to a dispatch from New
Cnwang the Russians there are barely
affie to cope with the situation. The
Chinese, it appears, are burning all the
railroads, killing Russians at every
portunity and destroying property.

BRAY ON NEGRO EDUCATION
President of Georgia Teachers’ Associ
ation Says It Spoils Him.
Augusta, Ga., June 27.—The Geor
gia Teachers’ association opened its
twentieth annual session in Thankful
Baptist church. There is a large at
tendance of the negro teachers of Geor
gia. President Bray of Athens delivered
his animal address. Ke said an educated
idler is no better than an ignorant idler.
An educated vagabond, by cause of his
training, is more dangerous than an
ignorant one. An educated pauper is
more miserable than an ignorant pauper.
From this starting point he argued
that higher education for the negro is
unfitting them for manual labor in the
field and shop aud as domestic servants
and producing a race of idlers. He said
philanthropists had given enough in this
direction and should not be asked to
give further to negro colleges. He
thought the true field of philanthropy
now will he lor friends of the negro to
build factories in which educated ne
groes could find employment..

He Hint Served 11 Years of a lo-
Year Sentence.
Richmond, June 27. — James Hart,
who has served 11 years of a 15-year
sentence for a crime which he is now
known never to have committed, has
been pardoned by Governor Tyler. In
October, 11 years ago, he was convicted
of an assault upon a woman and given
15 years. Throughout the trial and ever
since he stoutly insisted he was inno
cent, hut public sentiment was strong
aud he came to prison. He made a
model prisoner aud the prison board
recommended his pardon, but the people
of his county opposed this.
Recently Hart renewed his applica
tion and the commonwealth attorney
writes that the prosecutrix now admits
that the trial of Hart was a persecution
and that when she testified against him
she perjured her own soul. Hart was
released early today.

TO CONFER WITH MURPHY.
Croker Will Endeavor to Restore Har
mony—Vice Presidency.
New York, June 26.—Richard Cro
ker will spend a couple of days at Sena
tor Murphy’s home before their trip to
Kansas City begins. By the time the
western trip begins Mr. Cromer hopes to
have a plan under way for a coalition of
the Tammany and Murphy forces, so
that when Kansas City is reached a
definite campaign may be announced.
Mr. Croker would not say what action
he and Senator Murphy had agreed
upon, but one of his friends admitted
that he was out for 16 to 1. Mr. Croker
went down to Tammany Hall aud had a
talk with the district leaders. This talk,
however, had no political significance,
unless one of the vice presidential booms
that are in process of incubation was
brought up. There are five of these
booms, the most prominent of which is
that of Congressman Sulzer, who has
received assurance of support from del
egations from the south and other states.
The others are Elliot Danforth, Dr.
John H. Grider, Congressman George j
B. McClelland and Borough President I
Coogan. So far Mr. Croker has refused j
to indorse any of these booms.
Senator Murphy has within the last J
two or three days developed some j
strength for the vice presidential possi-1
bility, but he claims the possession of a J
boom aud swears that if he gets the I
nomination he will accept it, though he
does not want it.

Makes Serious Charges Against Aider-
men Reutell and Day.
Atlanta, June 22.—The meeting of
the aldermanic board, at which Joel
Hurt was present, in the interests of the
Atlanta Railway and Power company,
was productive of one of the most sen
sationally dramatic scenes ever enacted
in that body.
Mr. Hurt alleged that the petition of
his company j.or the privilege of laying
its conduits and entering the lighting
business has been held up by Aldermen
Beutell aud Day. Pointing his finger at
these gentlemen, Mr. Hurt stated that
they were not in a position to vote on
the matter. Continuing, he said that
he was prepared to substantiate his state
ments at any time the hoard appointed
a committee to investigate the charges.
Alderman Beutell, in reply, stated that
his record was clean and that the alle
gations were false.
By a vote of 3 to 2 the lighting fran
chise was turned down.
Is hard or easy io climb, just as a man
chooses to make it. Success is not
such a shy bird as many people suppose.
Success is largely a matter of doing
business on the broad principle of
giving satisfaction at the smallest cost.
We’ve been su’ccrsstul because we’ve treated
people right, giving them the best build
ing materials at low prices and filling
orders promptly. A great part of our
business comes direct from the users of
lumber.
Contractors and builders are climbing to suc
cess, too, by using our materials. It
makes good buildings, and that makes
their reputations, and that makes mon
ey for them. Send to us for prices it

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has tne
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other ' aches.
You only need a few doses of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with
you. Sample bottles at h, b. mcmas-

had just received a dispatch from his
sou announcing the relief of Tien Tsin.
The news reached Berlin late from the
German consul at Che Foo, who an
nounced that the relief column entered
Tien Tsin during the afternoon of June
23 and started again June 24 to rescue
Vice Admiral Seymour, who, with the
foreign ministers, was said to be occu
pying a position 12)4 miles from Tien
Tsin, where he was surrounded, and
hard pressed by a great force of Boxers
and Chinese regulars.
Possibly the Japanese report that Sey
mour is a prisoner and that the minis
ters had Peking guarded by Chinese sol
diers is merely a distorted version of the
Berlin story. But, in any event, defi
nite news may be expected speedily, and
it is confidently believed here Seymour
and his companions will be safely deliv
ered from their-plight.
According to the report of a China
man refugee, who has arrived at Shang j
hai, the condition at; Tien Tsin is horri
ble. Everywhere on the streets are the
bodies of men aud women, Americans
as well as all other nationalities. The
Hong-Kong and German hanks, he adds,
were both destroyed early during the
bombardment.
Shanghai also reports that the Amer-
ico-Rnssian relief force was so badly am
bushed that the forces were obliged to
abandon several field gnus and much
ammunition. About 180 Russians and
11 Americans were killed or wounded.
The German gunboat litis and a Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyer are patrolling
the Pei Ho river and raking with ma
chine guns the native villages on the
river bank.
A dispatch from Canton says that city |
remains quiet, but the female mission-1
aries from the outlying districts are:
coming in on account of the warnings of
Christian Chinese.
Although it is officially said at Canton'
that Li Hung Chang will not go to Pe
king, he continues his preparations for
departure.
A telegram from the governor of Liao
Chon, dated June 25, which has reached
Berlin, announces that, according to re
ports from Chinese sources, Vice Admiral
Seymour’s force has reached Peking.
This is probably a reiteration of the pre
vious reports on the same subject.
This de
tachment sails on the Grant, which has
been ordered to touch at Nagasaki for
further orders. It is probable that the
ship will then sail direct for Che Foo.
General MacArthur has been cabled
an order directing the commanding
officer of the Ninth infantry aud such
other forces as may be operating in
China hy the time of the Grant’s arrival
to report to General Chaffee on his ar
rival. Unless present plans change head
quarters will be established at Che Foo.

thence to Shanghai to install an electric

active service.
