Haney and social enjoyment. Then
was some fine oratory by prominent
men. but the Vorktown guns of the
Chatham Artillery spoke with louder
nnd equally as patriotic voice. The
second time these pieces were seen

the unveiling of the handsome Con

within a few yards of the place where

LIEUT. LAWRASON
IS CUNT
Despite the controversy between the
Atlanta Journal and ex-Gov. Northern
the Good Citizenship Club, of Macon,
is going right on with its program.
This Is the organization before which
Gov. Northen recently spoke. Its
membership is colored. It is conduct
ing s serifs of lectures by white
speakers, prominent men. Rev. J. W.
Holly, pastor of the Washington Ave
nue Presbyterian Church, nrerro, is the
ending spirit. The symposium ' was
opened by Gov. Northen a short tir«iD
ago. Dr. Henry Minton, a Presbyte
rian preacher of Trenton. N. J., ad
dressed the club last Tuesday night
In Rev. Holly's church, where all the
meetings of the club are held. Tliere
was an overflowing audience. The
central Idea of Dr. Hinton's discourse
was that the negro must cultivate
self-respect, must have regard for bis
own character and respect for him
self. That the negro’s chief aim
should be the education of t'ne heart,
and that the education of the head
and the education of the hand were
secondary to tho education of the
heart. That an educated brain with
out an educated heart could be the
iirce of much danger and evil. Self-
ipect was tho speaker's theme. He
that self-respect leads to good
tlaenslilp. The next address under
auspices of the cluh will be by
Emory Speer.
WASHINGTON. March 28.—Lieut.
George Ltiwrason, of Company B.
Twenty-fifth infantry, was again on the
stand all of today in the Brownsville
investigation before the Senate "com
m'ttee on Military Affairs. Lieuten
ant Lawrason told Senator Warner that
he had been of the opinion that Fort
Brown was attacked by citizens, but the
next morning when he was shown
cartridges picked up by Captain Mac-
klin in the streets of the town he was
sure the shooting had been done by
soldiers. Later Senator Foraker asked
the witness if he believed now the
shooting was done by the negro sol
diers., and Lieut. Lawrason replied:
"I think, sir, that it should have been
discovered l»y this time who did the
shooting. There has been no direct
evidence to fix it on these men, ana in
view of the testimony here. I can not
say that I think the negro troops were
guilty.”
In reply to questions by Senator
Lodge the witness said that he heard
no firing after he Joined the company
on tho night of the affray, and that
ho had reached the company before
First Sergeant Mingo Sanders. Sen
ator 'Lodge then called attention to the
fact that Sanders had testified that
the firing continued while the roll was
being called.
The witness testified at length con
cerning the technical report of the
microscopic examinations of shells pick
ed up" in the streets of 'Brownsville,
the ways in which soldiers may get
extra ammunition and many other mat
ters that had been gono over in detail
by a number of witnesses. He may
again go on the stand tomorrow.
THEGREATNORTHERN
STBCKISSUE UPHELD
ST. PAUL, Minn.. March 28.—The
State Supreme Court today upheld the
Great Northern Railway Company In
its contention that it had the right to
issue the JGO.OOO.OOO of stock author
ized by the board of directors some
months ago, and which was enjoined
by Attorney-General Young. who
claimed that the company should first
come before the State Railroad and
Warehouse Commission and submit to
an examinat on to show the necessity
and the purpose of the issue. This
contention of the State was upheld
by Judge Hallam, in the Ramsey
County District Court, who ordered
an injunction to issue. The Supreme
Court today reversed that decision
The opinon of the court was unani
moos.
GF SELLING LIQUOR
An Interesting trial in the City
Court yesterday was that of Will
Respess and his wife. Rose, negroes,
charged with selling liquor without a
license. As the result of a raid on
the alleged den of the Respesses. dep
uties secured six two-gallon jugs, ten
quarts of tickling mixtures, and i
baskets full of empty quart bottles,
all of which readily gave rise to th
opinion among the officers of the law
that there had been going on for
some t ! me past a systematical retail
liquor business on lower Oglethorpe
street. The goods taken from the
place were produced as evidence yes
terday, and when they were laid upon
the table in the City Court room after
Respess had declared his innocence,
a ripple of laughter went around the
jury and spectators in the room.
“Jedge Hoges.” said Will. "I’se Ino-
sunt uv dis crime. I’se er hard wurk-
in’ nigger. I’se wurked fer der rail-
Tud fer goin’ ahn tree yars. Der udder
day wen der perlice cum arter me
I’se jest in er act of goin’ ter dah

runnin’ dis er trade fer er goin’ ahn
tree yars as yer sey. Td be purty rech
now, en dah woul’ ben no kaise fer
me ter hev gahn ter dah railrud fer
money fer ter buy dem shoes.”
Rosa declared that the contents of
the bottles and jugs were not of an
intoxicating nature.
Jedge,” said Rosa, ‘‘we’n jes’ er put
sum peppar en dat watah jes’ ernuf
ter make dose niggerss neeze."
Will was found guilty and Judge
Hodges sentenced him to serve a term
of ten months In the chaingang with
out an alternative. The case against
Rosa was nol prossed.

ing the same thing with never any

The four deferred payments or in

stock will amount to $24,000,000 by
April 9 next. As the payment of so
large a sum at this time might create
some disturbance in the money mar

an extension of time.

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, March 2S.—The cotton
market was very quiet today with price
changes narrow and irregular. The close
steady, net unchanged to 4 points
higher. Sales were estimated at 50,090
bales.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 4 points and shortly afterward showed
a net loss of about 3a5 points on the
active months under scattering liquida
tion which may have been promoted by
different cables, rumors of rains in the
Southwest nnd the heavy estimate for to
morrow's receipts at Houston. But pri
vate wires from New Orleans reported
that no rain had fallen in Texas, the stock
market made a fairly good showing, the
New Orleans estimate for tomorrow was
lighter and the market steadied up dur
ing the morning session on covering and
a little buying for a turn in anticipation
of greater activity on the part of bull
leaders after the holidays were over.
The close was within a point or two of
the best. Southern spjt markets were
generally unchanged and exports for the
day were heavy. The vote on the prop
osition to eliminate three additional
grades from the New York con
tract resulted in the elimination of strict
low middling stained, to take effect on
the first of April. 1908. All three of the
big cotton markets will be closed Friday
and Saturday. Liverpool will remain
closed until Tuesday morning, but the
American markets will open for business
on Monday.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 21.569 bales against 21.619 bales last
week and 13.255 b Ves last 'year. For the
week (estimated) 150.000 bales against
166.116 bales last week and 106.197 bales
last year.
Today's rcceints at New Orleans were
5.353 bales against 3.S49 bales last year,
and at Houston 3.120 bales against 2.045
bales last year.

NEW YORK. March 2S.—There was
rather desultory eoigest waged between
the opposing elements in the speculation
for a small part of the stock exchan^
session today. When it was demonstrated
that neither side was making any decided
advantage, the professional element which
has bean carrying on the contest prac
tically abandoned it. After that the
market fell into a period of dullness
such as has not been seen . for many
weeks.
The quietness v.'.as accepted as grate
ful relief from the r recent'tiirmoll of the
market. The professional testing opera
tlons seemed to be largely on the short
side of the market., The resistance which
these efforts encountered was attributed
to the activ,ities of t'ne party of bankers
and capitalists said to have been organ
ized for the purpose of supporting the
market and supposed to he responsible
for the rally in Tuesday's market.
When the market was seen to have re
gained some degree of equilibrium, many
brokers left the city to be gone until
Monday to enjoy wliat they regard as a
much needed rest. Active operations were
in progress at tho sub-treasury today
in the working of the Treasury's relief
measures for the money market. Pay
ments on account of redemption of Gov
ernment 4s of 1907 of anticipated April
interest on the 2s and the 4s of 1907, and
deposits of customs revenue with
the National Banks were all in prog-
There is a general feeling of hopeful
ness that money conditions will improve
after the first of April. The Bank of
England made a weak return for the week
past, but discounts, eased In London and
sterling exchange at Paris which meas
ures the pressure of outside money re
quirements on that center receded sharp
ly. The showing of the English Bank,
therefore, and in Fss degree of tho French
bank were regarded as reflecting tho
results of the past pressure with a prom
ise of amelioration for the future.
Reports of a deadlock between officials
and operatives of Western railroads,
which threatened a strike, had a distress
ing effect on the market and helped to
the heavy tone of the later trading. The
marking up of prices at the end of tin
day was on a small volume af trans.aC'
tlons. The market closed, however, fair-
steady.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $1,918:000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
The total sales of stocks todav were

"WASHINGTON, March “The
moment has not yet arrived -when
America and Mexico can intervene to
stop the spread of war in Central
America.” This was the decision arriv
ed at as the result of a conference be
tween Secretary Root and Ambassador
Creel at the State Department today.
The Secretary also had the benefit
of the advices received by the diplo-
icaniatic representatives of Central
America States from their own gov
ernment. The absence of definite in
formation from the seat of trouble is
embarrassing to the officials who are
desirous of bringing about peace.
The State Department received a dis
patch today from United States Min
ister Merry at San Jose Costa Rica,
announcing that it is reported there
that Amapala, Honduras, is being bom
barded. Amapala is the chief Hon
duran port on the Pacific side and Pres
ident Bonilla, of Honduras, is reported
to have fled to that port which was
formerly one of his strongholds. Some
time ago it was reported that Nicara
gua had sent a gunboat to storm Ama
pala.

NEWS OF ANOTHER DEFEAT
OF HONDURAN TROOPS
NEW ORLEANS La., March 28.—
News of another defeat of Honduran
troops was brought here today" by the
steamer Joseph Vaccaro from Ceiba.
Honduras. Fifteen hundred Hondu
rans attempted on March 22. to recap
ture the port of Trujillo from the Nic
araguans. Tho Nicaraguan forces
of occupation proved to be com
posed of about 25 per cent for
eigners. including a few Americans.
This force was equipped with rapid fire
field pieces, which drove off the at
tacking parties after two days of desul
tory fighting. Losses of life were re
ported to be small. When the Vaccaro
'eft Ceiba. Tugueigaipa bad already
been captured by Nicaraguan troojy.,'
but this fact was not known at Ceio.-t
and the Honduran gunboat TaTumbla
was hurrying men into the port, carrv-
ing out President 'Bonilla’s scheme of
coast defense.
D. R. Wood. United States consul at
Ceiba was a passenger on the Vaccaro.
He said he was enroute to Washington,
but refused to state the purpose of his
trip.
BUCHAREST. March 28.—The
forts of the Government to suppress
the revolt of the peasants have met
with only partial success. The troop*
are now acting with increased enotgy
and are employing artillery with dead
ly effect. A large number of rioter?
have been killed In the numerous con-
with the soldiery, but as yet
there is no ■'iign of permanent amelio
ration of conditions. On the contrary,
the rioters appear to be becoming
bolder and more determined and 10-
day the situation undoubtedly is ag
gravated.
an indication of the apprehen
sion existing even in the capital, tha
new perfect of Bucharest, as a meas
ure of precaution ordered all shop." in
the cl tv closed. This order created
the impression that the rioters were
approaching Bucharest and there was
wild panic until it was learned that
these fears were groundless.
At Vlascahka, a band of peasants
called upon to disperse refused to do
so, and opened fire upon the troops,
whereupon the latter fired three shots
at them from a field s gun. killing
seventy tien and wounding many
more. According to an unconfirmed
report of the encounter, 200 of the
peasants were killed.
A squadron of hussars sent to Rra-
bova came in conflict with a band of
peasants and it is reported that fifty
of the latter were killed.
There is a slight improvement in
the situation at Jassy. The streets of
the city arc empty and the shops still
shut. The peasants there apparently
are overawe^, by the concentration of
troops. The bombardment of tho
three villages in the Vlaschka district,
in which rioters had taken refuge, un
doubtedly resulted in a very large cas
ualty list, but the exact numbers can
not be learned. It is known, however,
that several hundred peasants were
arrested. There have been sanguinary
encounters in the district of Dolj and
rumor places the number of killed
nnd wounded in encounters with the
troops at several hundred. The au
thorities are beginning to use artil
lery to bombard the villages where
tho rioters take refuge.
The peasants committed terrible
atrocities in the Buzee district and
the troops sent thither had orders to
suppress the disturbances at any
cost.

WAR ON MOSQUITOES
IN NEW ORLEANS
NEW YORK. March 28.—Andrew Car
negie made a vigorous attack upon certain
Wall street methods in a speech ^at a
dinner given in his honor by the United
M..itarv Telegraph Corps at the Hotel
Manhattan tonight. Mr. Carnegie de
clared that he had never made a' dollar
gambling In stocks, and added that it was
time that business men declined to recog
nize men who make money In Wall street
and render no value for it.
"A few gamblers in Wall street are in
trouble.” said Mr. Carnegie. “If a man
has sold .stocks short and they go down
he Is delighted. But if they go tho other
way. and he hasn’t the stocks todeliver,
he thinks the President lias gone a trifle
too far. It is .a good thing for the coun
try that the gamblers have orm'e to grief.
I wish I could invent a system or a d!an
whereby both sides of the sKck gamb
lers would come to grief.
“As a business man. I can say I never
made a dolar gambling in stocks and 1
would as soon sit down to gamble with
cards. The speculator." are parasites feed
ing upon values and creating none.
"We have had five years of wonderful
prosperity Today, instead of charging
$460,000,000 for the Carnegie f-teel Com-
nanj*. I would charge $610,000,000 for it.
But never a kite went un hut it came
• lo-.va. Wad street is rrei’t.v in \ healthy
condition. It Is an eruption that comes
nut and not going in. let ns rejoice and
hone th^t tomorrow prices will go down.
"Gentlemen. I was born to poverty.

man's son of millions, born to life. What
does he know of father and mother, of

to the Congressional party of rivers and
harbors committeemen, who are inspect
ing Louisiana waterways. While they
were aboard the steamer Sewaneo on the
Atchafalavn River, which is out. of its !
banks and very swift, the steamer Oxbow

with the loss of three barrels of her
stores, which slid overboard.
John Maddox, an aged white man,
was found by friends dead in bed yes

fortunes ahead if they can prevail
upon the cobbler to co-operate with
them; but since he ha? guarded his

posing of his secret to the coal-produc-

i he to accept the proposal of co-opera-

1 was about to be realized. In a few
j days he will give his answer to thft

• from his manner that the bait of the
; coal operators was the one which
would tempt him. ,
j In his illiterate style he referred to*
