enactment of important constitutional
amendments, as follows:
Authorizing the legislature to increase
the judgeships of the supreme court or
create au additional supreme court.

additional circuit court judgeships for
executive wherein, it is shown that the
operation of chapter 4033, laws of Flor
ida, in man} T of the counties is being
invoked for the colltxffion of debts, in
violation of the constitution, arud there
is little doubt in my mind from the in
formation at hand that there are now
many convicts serving under sentences
imposed under this law for debt. I rec
ommend that this law be repealed. ”

The Demands of Russia Will Be

St. Petersburg, April 2.—The su
perior councillor of the Chinese lega
tion, Chu We Jte, is continuing the ne
gotiations, as charge d’affaires, regard
ing the Manchurian agreement. The
illness of the Chinese minister, Yang
Yu, is now admitted to be due to apo
plexy, which will incapacitate him from
work, probably for a long period. It is
said the loss of half his estate through
the destruction of a Chinese bank, com
bined with political cares, is undermin
ing his health.
Unofficial observers scarcely under
stand how a doubt can possibly be en
tertained abroad that China will ulti
mately accept the Russian conditions,
after it is apparent that no power is
willing to forcibly support China.
MRS. NATION “FIRED OUT.”
Driven From Saloon at the Point-
of a Revolver.
St. Louis, April 2.—Mrs. Carrie Na

Big Four this morning and left later for
Kansas City. She said she was going

pending there against her. She says
she will never lecture for money any
nlore, as it does not pay.
“It may be I’ll smash,” she said, “but
I won’t go ontfie lecture platform.”
While here she visited the Market
street saloons. In one she engaged in
heated arguments with the bartender
aud was finally driven from the saloon
at the point of a loaded revolver in the
hands of the proprietor.
Railroad Men Promoted.
Salisbury, N. C., April 3.—W. S.
Frost, heretofore yardmaster at Salis

amount of building is in progress here
and is likely to be brought to a complete
standstill All the painters and deco
rators and hedcarriers have struck, and
a strike of carpenters and joiners i3 not
improbable. With a strike of warehouse
women at the potteries, the local labor
circles bid fair to be disturbed for some
time.
Damage to Farmers.
Opelika, Ala., April 3.—The damage
to the farming lands in this county by
the heavy rain amounts to thousands of
dollars. It now develops that the fruit
crop in this section has been damaged
but little if any and the prospects are
fine for a large crop.

CHINA WILL FINALLY YIELD
Saloonkeepers Indicted.
Savannah, March 30.—The law and
order people got in their work again be
fore the grand jury yesterday and in
dictments were returned against seven
saloonkeepers for keeping open on Sun
day. The indictments read “for keep
ing open a tippling house and retailing
liquor on the Sabbath,” being so word
ed purposely. Under the law a convic
tion on this charge requires a forfeiture
of license, and this is the feature of the
situation that is worrying the saloon
men. Otherwise most of them would
simply plead guilty and pay their fines.
As matters now stand they will all
probably demand jury trials.

HOTEL BELLMAN IS HELD UP
Daring Robbery Jit a Jacksonville
Hostelry.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 3.—One of
the most dariug hold-ups ever perpe
trated in the south occurred at 4 o’clock
yesterday morning in the main hall of
the tit. James hotel, one of the mosfi
fashionable tourist hotels of this city.
As has been customary, the night cash
ier leaves about 1 o’clock aud the nionoy^
subsequently taken in at the cafe is
placed by the watchman in one of the
office drawers.
At 4 o’clock the head night bellman
reported that two white men came to
the front door, which was locked, and,
posing as guests, demanded admission.
The watchman was at the time making
the call of the early morning help.
Believing that the men, who were
fashionably dressed, were tourists and
guests of the hotel, the bellman opened
the door. Once inside the light, accord
ing to the bellman’s story, guns were
drawn aud the bellman made to throw !
up his hauds iu the front of a pistol, j
The other robber hurried behind the !
counter, pried open the door aud se- j
cured the money, $53. The two men |
then backed out, keeping the bellman
covered until ou the outside, when they
made a dash down the street.
Officers of the hotel were immediately
called aud in a few minutes all the city
detectives were working on the case.
A NOVEL SUIT IN ALABAMA
N£ W ROAD NOW TH L RUMOR
To Run From Mr con :>rul Connect
With ihe ?e-!board.
Macon, April 3 —From a very secret
channel comes the information that
within the next f ;tv days an application
will be filed with the secretary of state
for a charter to construct a railroad to
run from Macon in a northerly direc
tion and connect with the Seaboard Air
Line aud possibly with the Louisville
and Nashville. The proposed line will
traverse the counties of .Tones, Jasper,
Newton, Walton, Gwinnett and on
through others. Iu leaving Macon it
will go fie Clinton, Monticello and other
towns in Georgia that lie directly in the
proposed route. It is expected that the
road will connect with the Seaboard
Air Line at Lawrenceville, Gwinnett
county.
it cannot be ascertained at this writ
ing what will be the terminal ef the
line. It is said that a branch road will
be constructed from some point near
Newborn or Covington, in Newton
couuty, to Atlanta aud connection made
there with the Western and Atlantio
railroad.
It is thought that possibly the new
road will connect at Macon with the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah railroad,
and that this line will be completed at
a near day from Dublin to Savannah.
The proposed line will give Macon a
new road to the north and the construc
tion of the Macon, Dublin and Savan
nah from Dublin to Savannah will also
furnish Macon a new road to the south.

agent at La Grange, becomes assistant
secretary and treasurer of the companies,
with headquarters in Atlanta, and F. H.
West, now special agent, becomes agent'
at LaGrange, to succeed Mr. Hill. Ocher
changes are being considered. Opelika

time that one of the main officials has
bad an office at this point.
Domestic Troubles of Russia.
London, April 3.—The Vienna cor
respondent of The Times, reviewing the
Russian political situation, takes a seri
ous view of it, believing that the first
symptoms of far-reaching revolutionary
movements are confirmed by the reports
of sanguinary disturbances in Dialystok,
where there is no university. The dis
orders there, in his opinion, show that
the rioting is no longer confined to stu
dents. The correspondent, however,
does not believe that the domestic situ
ation will immediately hamper Russia’s
fo'reign policy.

Defeated Republican Candidate For ,
Congress Files It.
Montgomery, Ala., April 3.—A suit
that promises some sensational develop- I
menrs has been filed in the circuit court ;
of Jlayneville. J. J. Milstead, Republi
can, of Elmore county, who recently
ran for congress iu the Fifth cougres- j
sional district against Colonel Charles j
W. Thompson of Macon county, has
brought suit to recover $2,000 from i
Messrs. Ed, Will aud Bob Dickson, ai- |
leged to have been paid them by the
said Milstead during the campaign,
with the understanding that the Dick-
sn?i=; snonld carry Lowndes county fox'
Milstead.
It is alleged that Milstead’s friends in
this couuty endeavored to make a con
ditional agreement with the Messrs.
Dickson, that if they should carry the
county for Milstead they were to receive
the sum of $2,000, but this the Messrs.
Dickson declined and got the check for
$2,0C0 in advance and collected it. Ic
was further alleged by friends of Messrs
Dickson that they endeavored iu good
faith to carry out their promise to Mil-
stead aud that they did carry their own
beat, Lowudesboro, by over 300 ma
jority for Milstead. The case will de
velop some sensational practices in poli
