St. Petersburg, July 18.—A dispatch
-join Che Fuo says:
“Prince Tuan has mobilized 950,000
rum, divided into different corps. The
northern corps has been ordered to ex-
pd foreigners from Amur.
••The Peking army is divided into four
corps, the first of which is to operate
nu-ainst Moukden and clear the roads be
tween Taku, and the second is to con
centrate at Tien Tsin and the third at
Pelting, from whencefi column number
ing |o,000 will be sent to Wei Hai Wei
mid Tien Tnu, while the fourth corps
v/ill concentrate at Nanking.
“There are now 21',000 Japanese troops
in China.
“The Chinese fleet is concentrating in
tlie China sea and hostilities are ex
ported.”
A dispatch from Nanking announces
that Prince Tuan lias ordered a great
military movement owing to the appear
ance of Japanese in China. The viceroy
of Nanking has informed the foreign
consuls there that he cannot be answer-
aide for events in Chao Sin, Ning Po and
Chu Chau.
The foreigners are fleeing to Shang
hai. The position is alarming. Sixteen
foreigners have arrivedat Nanking from
Ning Po, where the houses of foreigners
have been burned and missionaries hor
ribly inalrreated.
The rebellion has taken hold of south
ern China. The foreigners at Chu Chau
and in Chau have been attacked and are
fleeing panic stricken.
MARCHING ON SHANGHAI.
Large Body of Chinese Moving From
Hupei on That City.
Shanghai, July 18.—Prince Tuan has
issued an edict to fix a defiuate date for
n general rising. When the date is can
not be ascertained, but it is doubtless an
early one, for Prince Tuan is said to
have ordered all dispatches in view of
the arrival of more foreign troops.
A large body of Chinese is reported to
be moving from Hupei in the direction
of Shanghai. The situation here grows
more threatening every day.
The city is still without any means of
defense and all the forts are being held
by the Chinese.
The Boxers’ placards, placed through
out Peking, reads as follows:
“I, the commander-in-chief of Heav
en’s troops, will march from Peking to
Nankin with them shortly. Our prin
cipal object is to burn and destroy
churches and chapels and then the tele
graph and postoflice, colleges and
schools. The people need not be fright-
ened when they see our arrival here.
Wo are going to drive away the foreign
ers so as to keep the empire in peace and
c< >mfort. Purchasing provisions for pro
viding us we will give the market price,
bur sellers must also charge moderately.
We will not destroy tlie yarnensand cus
toms, they can levy duty as usual. If
any people disobey this order they will
be beheaded at once.”

Shanghai Menaced With a Native Up
rising—Terror Prevails.
Shan giiai, July 18.—The entire region
of the Yang Tse is in a state of unrest.
Shanghai is menaced with a native up
rising. and the northern provinces are
in an uproar. What may be the ulti
mate policy of the powers, the immedi
ate effect of the successful defense of the
foreign quarter at Tien Tsin is distinctly
quieting and reassuring. The allied
armies are lighting there for the pre
vention of a massacre and the protec
tion of foreign interests through the
Chinese empire.
The retreat of the foreign contingents
to the coast would be the signal for yel
low terrorism in every quarter of the
seaboard and the interior.
W bile the improvement in the situa
tion at Tien Tsin is considerable, the
Chinese rebels are swarming outside the
eitv and there are strong reasons for be
lieving that the bulk of the regular army
saturated with the Boxers’ spirit of
hatred against foreigners.
Natives Were Slain.
Santa Rosa, Cal., July 18.—Letters
have been received here from Mrs. J.
Y* • Ragsdale, wife of the United States
consul at Tien Tsin. The letters are
under date of June 14 and -tell of con
ditions existing there at that time.
Wrs. Ragsdale says: “All the mission
church e s in Tien Tsin have been burned,
more than a week ago a guard wt nt
from here to meet and aid some Belgian
refugees trying to reach Tien Tsin. At
several villages they were given tea and
Wings to eat. The Boxers burned all of
We villages and killed every man, wo-
man and child they found who aided
the foreigners. ”,
BOO Chinese Slain.
Shanghai, July 18.—A dispatch from
lien Tsin, dated July 11, says the Chi
nese attacked the railway stations this
morning. The French were forced to

Mangled In Machinery-
Columbus, Ga., July 17.—News has
reached the city of the death of William
King at the sawmill of Roger McElvy,
in Chattahoochee county. He was work
ing with the engine on the tramway at
the mill and started to get on the en
gine while it was in motion. He made
a miscalculation, however, and slipped
into the machinery. He was horribly
mangled, his legs being cut, his body
frightfully lacerated and his neck
broken.
Bulcken to Settle Up.
Savannah, July 16.—John B. Bulcken,
the defaulting treasurer of Concord
lodge of Odd Fellows, is endeavoring to
settle up his indebtedness to the organi

PLANING MILLS SHUT DOWN.
Carpenters’ Strike Anticipated by the
Contractors—-1-00 31on Idle.
Columbus, Ga , July 17.—Every plan
ing mill iu the city is shut down, while
300 or 400 carpenters are idle and work
on about 50 new houses in the city and
the suburbs is at a standstill. The agree
ment of the mill men and the contrac
tors to shut down until the labor troubles
have been adjusted Has gone into effect.
The carpenters are asking for nine
hours with the saflie pay as heretofore
given under the 10-hour scale. The
contractors regard this as nine heurs’
work for 10 hours’ pay. The principal
objection on the part of the mill men,
however, is due to the reduction of work
ing hours. With the orders they have
on file they say it will he a physical im
possibility to do the work iu nine hours.
The agreement of the carpenters to
enforce the 9-liour day was anticipated
and the mills shut down.
The carpenters have called a mass
meeting at the courthouse for Thursday
night. The laborers, composed of ne
groes, who are organized, may go out.
TO FORM NATIVE CAVALRY.
3Iajor Batson Will Command the New
Macabebc Troops.
Manila, July 16.—The authorities
have ordered the formation of 12 troops
of cavalry to be recruited from the Ma-
cabebes and officered by Americans.
Major Batson, the originator of the idea
of employing the Macabebe tribesmen
as scouts, is to be commander of the
new squadron of Filipino horse.
The Macabebes have long been used
as scouts and their value in such work
has already been determined. The pres
ent plan of mounting them is intended
to render them more effective by bring
ing about mobility. Several details of
native troops are "being used as guides,
but the organization of native soldiers,
with the notable exception of the Ma-
cabebes, has been objected to by the au
thorities of Manila. When the Ma
cabebes are controlled they do good
work iu their own line, but they are
very hard to restrain from outrage, loot
ing and indiscriminate killing. Several
American officers have declined service
with the Macabebes on the ground that
it was impossible to restrain them in
moments of excitement.

mates that Savannah’s population, ac
cording to the census of 1900, will be
about 51,000. Mr. Blun cannot, of

Council Refuses to Hear Reports on
the Mayor’s Conduct.
Atlanta, July 17.—The investigation
into the alleged misconduct of Mayor
James G. Woodward was brought to an
apparent close when council laid the
majority and minority reports on the
table without having either document
read.
The majority report, while it does not
vindicate the mayor, requests that the
city attorney be asked to give au opin
ion as to whether there are grounds for
the institution of impeachment proceed
ings. It declares that some of the
charges were proved by sworn testi
mony, but there was a difference of
opinion as to whether the charges con
stituted grounds for impeachment pro
ceedings.
The minority report is one of the most
sensational papers ever presented to
council and consists almost entirely of
extracts from sworn testimony and
states there are sufficient grounds for
impeachment of the mayor.
To Serve a ’Cue In New York.
Washington, Ga., July 16.—Sheriff
John Callaway has gone to New York,
where he will serve an old fashioned
Georgia barbecue July 18. The occasion
will be the meeting of the International

he would manage the barbecue. The
club met in Atlanta a few years ago, at
which time a ’cue was given the club at
Stone Mountain. Sheriff Callaway
managed the ’cue.
Powers Became Angry Because Black
Would Not Assist Him—Taylor, Fin
lay and C)Iher Prominent Republican
Leaders Implicated.
Georgetown, Ky., July IS. — Tho
Powers murder case was resumed with
the promise that several minor witnesses
would be heard first, but that during
the day some very sensational evidence
would be brought out. John A. Black
of Barboursville, a banker and a Repub
lican of prominence, was the first wit
ness. He said Powers came to him in
January to advise him as to the pro
priety of the mountain organization
which Powers was getting up.
“I asked Powers,” said the witness,
“what sort of a crowd he was getting up
and he said he was organizing an armed
mob to go to Frankfort. I discouraged
this, and told him it would injure the
Republican party, would be a stigma ou
our end of the stdte and ought to be
abandoned. Powers, however, insisted
that the mob should be formed. His
idea was that it would intimidate the
legislators.
Approved by Taylor.
Continuing Black said:
“I saw Powers later, and again re
monstrated against the formation of the
mob which was going to Frankfort.
Powers told me it was being formed
with the approval of Governor Taylor,
Charles Finlay and other Republican
leaders at Frankfort. Charles Finlay
also came to me and tried to get me to
co-operate with them. I protested bit
terly. Powers became very angry with
me on account of the position I took. I
tried to dissuade them from the dirty
baud aud send good citizens, people of
influence, if any crowd was to be sent.”
A check from Charles Finlay to the
Louisville and Nashville railroad for
$1,000 for transportation of the men to
Frankfort was produced by Black in re
sponse to a question from the prosecu
tion.
The defen.- e, through Mr. Owens,
raised a point against the competency
of Coulton as a witness, he being under
indictment along with Powers and oth
ers as a co-conspirator and having not
been tried. The jury was excluded dur
ing the argument of the point. Judge
Sims presented objections of the defense
to the competency of Culton as a wit
ness against Powers.
Cross Examination.
On cross examination Black said that
Finley claimed the mountaineers were
being taken to Frankfort to “influence”
the legislature. Powers said the pur
pose was to “intimidate” that body. At
this answer Colonel Campbell, attorney
for the prosecution, slapped himself on
the knee which brought forth au objec
tion from the defense to such a demon
stration in the presence of the jury.
Continuing, witness said he “never
heard Powers make threats against Goe
bel except in a general way. He re
ferred to the crowd he was getting up
as a mob. ”
J. W. Siler, a banker of Wiliiams-
bnrg, was asked concerning $1,000 that
was loaned to Charles Finlay for the
purpose of transporting men to Frank
fort. "Witness could not give the date
of the check.
W. H. Culton, who is himself under
indictment as an accessory and supposed
to he the star witness of the prosecution,
was called next.
Attempted to Kill His Daughter.
Columbus, Ga., July 3 6.—Alex Pruitt,
a negro who lives east of town, has been

tent to murder. He became augry with

He Gives Some Damaging Testimony
Against Caleb Powers.
Georgetown, Ky., July 17.—Finlay
Anderson, who was in the witness box,
testifying in the Powers case when the
court adjourned yesterday, resumed his
testimony this morning. In the course
of his testimony the witness said that
on Jan. 24 Caleb Powers told him that
the crowd of mountaineers which was
being organized were going to Frank
fort to intimidate tho legislature and, if
necessary, to kill enough Democrats to
give the Republicans a majority. He
said:
‘Powers told me Goebel would never
live to be governor, and said he (Powers)
would kill him if nobody else would.”
The conversation to which witness re
ferred was on the day preceding the ad
vent of the 1,200 mountaineers upon
Frankfort. Witness said he heard Pow
ers and others talking about Goebel
wearing a coat of mail, but some of
them said that he could be killed any
way. Powers was in conference with
ex-Secretarv of State Charles Finley,
Wharton Golden, Robert Noakes anti
others.
The defendant did not lose his com
posure during the damaging testimony
against him. except for a moment when
his face showed signs of agitation.
Judge Tinsley conducted the cross ex
amination aud extracted from the wit
ness the fact that he had called on Col
onel T. C. Campbell in Cincinnati. The
witness became badly confused and conld
not recall who took him to Colonel
Campbell, though he claimed several
people were with him at the time. He
denied that either Justus or Arthur
Goebel assisted him in getting employ
ment in Cincinnati and denied that his
trip to Cincinnati was for tho purpose of
becoming a witness in the Powers case.
