SAYS RAY T™">K A BRIBE.
Charge of Corruption Against Atlanta’s
Market Inspector.
Atlanta, Jan. 2.-<Speclal.)-If half the
things said about the practice of all sorts
of city officials In Atlanta are true there
is a good opening here for a Lexow com
mittee. Frequent charges of corruption
have been made against the police de
partment during the past year, and other
departments have also come In for simi
lar accusations, although nothing has
been done toward sifting the chaff out.
The latest addition to the calendar
came today in the shape of a charge that
Market Inspector Ray has been regularly
receiving bribes from I. C. Clarke, the
proprietor of a flsh and oyster market.
Olarke claims that he has been furnish
ing the Inspector with flsh, game and oys
ters for quite a long time, and as long
as he continued to feed him, he got
along swimmingly, but a few days ago
when he decided to shut down on him,
Inspector Ray at once retaliated by con
demning a lot of oysters and making a
case in police court against him. When
the case comes up for Investigation be
fore that tribunal It will be watched
olosely and if there is anything in It
there will probably be a general shaking
up of dry bones.

(Washington, Jan. 2.—Danger threat
ens the -peace negotiations between
China and Japan and from present In
dications It Is exceedingly probable
that hoettlltlea may be renewed with
even greater violence, <and the cry of
"On to Fokin,” only more becomes the
slogan at the Japanese forces. Despite
a prevailing -belief to the contrary, it
to not unlikely that the Japanese gov
ernment will deollne to make a further
postponement of the acutal commence
ment of the negotiations In order to
await the arrival of Mr. John W. Fos
ter, the Chinese advisory counsel, and
It Is probable that arrangements for
the settloment of the dispute will have
been completed before Mr. Foster ar
rives at Hiroshima, where the repre
sentatives of both the warring powers
will meet. Mr. Foster will sag from
Vaooouvers on January H, providing
be Is not snowbound, and is duo In
Yokohama January 19 or 20. Two days
will give him ample time to roach
HtroWhtma, so that the Chinese cannot
ask for a postponement after the 22d
instant.
The two Chinese ambassadors of
peace are duo in Shunghal on January
8 and expect to reach Hiroshima on
the 9th instant, and the probabilities
are that they -will be asked to begin
negotiations without ddkxy. The dangcr
that threatens .the settlement which
has seemed sue im certainty will arise
at this point, for the Japanese govern
ment will refuse, without doubt, to
agree to any temporizing on the plea
that Mr. Foster has not arrived and
that the Chinese ambassadors cannot
proceed without his assistance. It may
be stated with nome degree of posltlve-
ness that a direct declination by the
Chinese ambassadors to begin negotia
tions before Mr. Foster reaches Hiro
shima will result In positive disagree
ment and tho breaking off of the over
tures, which will place the possibilities
of peace further away than ever and
muse the Japanese forces to push
their way with greeter vigor toward
the Chinese capital. In that event
nothing short of the fall of i’ekln Is
likely to put an end to the hostilities.

Opposition Dapufios Made a Lively
Sc-'-no In the -Sobr.inje.
Sofia, Jan. 2.—A sceno of great ex
citement occurred during today's sea
sons of the Sobranjc. Bloodshed was
narrowly swotted. An opposition depu
ty oocus-d Premier StollolT rf having
devoted a portion of the fund* which
had been sot ojtirt' for the suppression
of brlgandnge to the subvention of
political spies, -whereupon M. Stolloff
sprang -to his feet and exclaimed In a
voire iursh with passion - .
"You lie."
This exclamation imraedrstely crea
ted a furor among the opposition dep
uties In the midst of which «he presi
dent of the chamber ordered the expttf-
sion of the moralbcr who made the
charge against Stolloff. The ushers
endeavored to eject the offending mem
ber, but the deputies of the opposi
tion a-rucked them with their fiats and
drove the ushers from the bull. Sev
eral of them were knocked down and
badly bet/ten. During the melee sev
eral deputies dr.vw rerrolvers, bat they
were disarmed bofore they were able
to use their weapons. The opposition
member.?, who -wety «t a disadvantage
of betos numerlcuUy 'the weaker pir-

after loudly hurling accutattoos at the

PANIC IN ST. JOHN'S.
Unreasonable blobs Take Possession of

St. John's, N. F.. Jsn. t—The French

against the passage of tho MU* guana-

Union Banks, saying that th* depreda
tion of the notes will csttso much suf
fering to residents at the French shore
and In 8L Pierre. The matter will be
arranged by negotiation, u the governor
will assent to th* bills tomorrow.
A mob took charge of the assembly at
tha lut meeting and relised to allow
the opposition to speak. The govern
ment abetted the mob. Governor Osborn
threatens to send an armed guard from
the msn-of-wwr Tourmalins to preserve
order If & repetition or the disturb*nee*
occur. The savings bank la overrun with
depositors demanding gold, owing to a
rumor that the government pledged sar
in. bank aecuritles to the Bank o( Mon
treal to obtain a loin. It la certain that
the government got a loan of MOO,IDO In
sped*, which la coming by the steamer
811 via.
The directors of the Commercial Bank,
who were arrested charged with placing
false report* on the bank's condition,
were brought before the judge today for
a preliminary hearing to determine
whether there la sufficient evidence on
which to commit them for trial, lb*
hearing was not completed, outer ar
rest* will probably bs made tomorrow.
The petition for a royal commission to
