Senator Forakcr said the President of the flnlted States should become personally engaged in a political con test to determine his successor is with out precedent, unless it be the .bad precedent set by Andrew Jackson as to Martin Van Buren. "That ho should enter upon such a struggle with a declaration that he is to set limita tions upon the freedom of speech of those who may differ with him, and that they are to disregard those limi tations at their peril is withou preoe- den. even in the case of Jackson and is so inconsistent with the dignities of his high office and the proprieties always to be observed, that I feel It'a duty toward the President himself to enter for him upon my own motion, a disclaimer of all responsibility for such a publication. "The time has not yet come a-nd no body knows that better than the President himself, when dead lines can be drawn in debate for anybody to ob serve, nor has the time come when any real man -would respect them after they were drawn. "So far as T am personally concern ed.

Lee Christmas, the American officer In the service of Honruras. had been cut to pieces by Nic araguan soldiers. The letter gave no de tails of the fight in which Christmas was killed. Information was contained in the letter that there was no hope tor the Bonilla Government, and he was doomed to death If he did not get out of the country. News was brought here by passengers by steamer that President Manuel Bo- nillo was not at Amapala. but was hiding In Salvador. Thi3 report is said to be authentic. Gallardo was accompanied by his sec retary. Roman Gonzales, and they effected their escape from Trujillo two days before tho place was captured by the Nieara- gans.

Negotiations for Peace. WASHINGTON, April 10.—The State Department today received a dispatch from Philip Brown, secretary to the United States legation in Guatemala and Honduras, saying that negotiations are pending for the settlement of the dispute between Nicaragua and Honduras. Mr. Brown is still at La Union, and It appears that he is acting in the interest of Sal vador In treating with Nicaragua. This is entirely on his own initiative, and does not Involve the United States in any manner, acocrdlng to the State Depart ment officials. It is said that the greater difficulties attenning a settlement is the keen desire of the Nicaraguan forces to capture President Bonilla, who is at the head of the Honduran army in the west of that Republic. To effect this capture would necessitate renewed fighting, and the other countries in Central America are trying to avoid this, and it is the de sire also of the United States and Mexico that hostilities be brought to a close at once. DETAILS OF SUSOIDE OF JOHN A. COBS, JR. HE WAS VERY PROMINENT IN BUSINESS CIRCLES IN COR- DELE, GA. - . CORDELE. Ga.. April 10.—The Daily Post gives the following account of the suicide.of John A. Cobb, Jr.: One.of the saddest tragedies that has ever happened in this city occurred this morning about 8 o’clock, when Mr. John A. Cobb, Jr., proprietor of the Cordele Ice Company, committed sui cide by shooting himself in the temple with a 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson re volver. Mr. Cobh had arisen about 7 o’clock, and had eaten h hearty breakfast and, kissing his wife goodbye, had gone to his office as usual. Arriving at his office, he greeted a number of the em ployes. and entered his office. Shortly after the report of a pistol was heard, and upon investigation 'by Mr. R. J. •Self and L. R. Toole, he was found ly ing on a pile of rubbish in a small room in the rear of his office, with a bullet hole in his right temple. Drs. McArthur and Neal were sum moned with all possible speed, and did all in their power to save the wounded man, but without avail. v As soon as possible he was removed to his home on the corner of Eleventh avenue and Sixth street, where he died at 11:15 o’clock. For a number of months he had been in bad health, and had only last week returned from Savannah, where he had been in the hospital for some time. He looked much better, and informed his friends that he had spent the greater* part of the winter in Florida, and had been greatly benefited by the change of climate. He came here more than a year ago from Americus, where he was born and reared, for the purpose of taking charge of the plant of the Cordele Ice Com pany. which he operated last summer, and was preparing to operate again this summer.

Graves on his arrival from Atlanta at noon and requested omission of this reference in his speech, arguing Us impropriety in view of Bryan’s pres ence at the banquet. Col. Graves de clined to alter his views or subject his speech to censorship. He attended the banquet as an invited guest, re maining but a short while, when he left the banquet hall for an Atlanta train. This evening Mr. Graves ad dressed a letter to the president of the Bryan anniversary club, defending his position. In his letter Mr. Graves declared that he yielded to no one in his profound and affectionate regard for Mr. Bryan for the Democratic party and that ne was profoundly convinced that in this period of tremendouseconomic crisis the only man whp can carry to successful conclusion the reforms instituted in behalf of the people was the man who is already entrenhed in the power and prestige of dauntless courage and is a conspicuous success in the exjtutive office. Continuing, he oaidt- “My reasons for stating this convic tion: At a Bryan banquet, with Mr. Bryan present, was because I consid ered it the only and Democratic thing to do. The time to voice a sentiment so momentous to the life and pros perity and to tho realization of the best interests of a real Democracy is in a counsel of the faithful and in the pres ence of our great and shining leader who would be there to command, to ap prove or to condemn with tho full force of his influence and eloquence as he might see it. It appears to me the only fair and honest thing to do wat' to speak my convictions in full council and with open voice. In the’r belief my speech, upon the request of the As- Later Mr. Graves, after being per suaded to take his place at the ban quet table, delivered his speech in which he declared that Mr. Bryan should nominate Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency. Senator J. B. Frasier responded to this address, declaring that the Dem ocrats could not afford to take such action. Mr. . Bryan spoke at consid erable extent, arraigning the Repub lican party though he declared that Mr. Roosevelt had adopted many Dem ocratic principles. He complimented Mr. Graves in the highest manner for his honesty and his boldness and said if there was any place in the world where absolute free dom of speech should prevail it ought to be in a Democratic gathering. He added that when he had heard that Mr. Graves had retired from the hall be cause there might be doubts about the wisdom of what he had to say, he had sent for the eGorgian to return and in sisted that the speech should be deliv ered. Turning directly to the subject of Mr. Graves’ recommendation, Mr. Bryan said: “As at present advised I shall not present the name of Theo dore Roosevelt to the national Demo cratic Convention. Bear in mind I say as at present advised.” Mr. Bryan continued that if there mature consideration and reflection and the .presentation of tho arguments in the case he should be convinced that his duty lay in that direction he would present Mr. Roosevelt’s name if it should prove the last act of his life. He then went on to say that if any Republican was to be selected by the Democrats to head their national tick et that man should be Senator La Fol- lette, of Wisconsin.

April 10.—The County Commissioners of Sumter, af ter investigating thoroughly the testi mony of a dozen witnesses to alleged, needless and cruel whipping of negro convicts on the Sumter chaingang, to day adopted the following resolutions: “We. the County Commissioners of Sumter County, after a thorough inves tigation find there has 'been unneces sary whipping by the whipping boss of the chaingang. We strongly condemn this conduct and will re-organize the force at once, and remove from the em ploy of the county every one who Is in our judgment In fault.” The investigation resulted at the re quest of Judge Charles R. Crisp of the City Court, to whom charges of c-ruel treatment had been made in open court. Judge Crisp is satisfied with the result of the Investigation, provided the prom ised re-organization takes place as soon as possible. The investigation into the alleged mistreatment of convicts was thorough and much of the evidence adduced sus tained completely the charges made in open court by the convict, Gus Nel son. Convicts were beaten for trivial of- renses upon numerous occasions cited. One instance was the stripping and whipping of seventeen convicts because one had stolen a tin bucket of victuals worth probably five cents in an effort to divulge the real culprit. Instance was the stripping and whip ping of Ed Brooks until the skin blis tered, the offense being that he smok ed a cigarette during work hours and then failed to kneel down with the ala crity demanded by the whipping boss. The — evidence showed that convicts were” properly fed and housed, but that whipping at' times was unnecessary and doubtless the direct cause of recent numerous escapes from chaingang. The reportorial notes made of the invest'gation by the press representa tives were taken in charge before the investigation concluded and are still in possession of the County Commis sioners. who expressed the request that detailed statements he witheld as un necessary for publication.

April 11.—The cotton market was quiet today, but showed a steadier tone and closed steady at a net advance of 5a9 points. Sales were esti mated at only 73.000 bales. The opening was steady at an advance of 2a3 points on higher cables than ex pected and big spot sales in the English market. At first there was some hesita tion and room professionals seemed to be selling on the grounds that local con ditions had prevented figures from fol lowing the English advance, but the market worked gradually higher during the early session on covering of shorts and prices at one time were about SalO points net higher. Later most of this advance was lost in spite of light estimates for tomorrow’s receipts at leading points on account of more seasonable weather in the Western and Central belts and selling by recent buyers, but the pressure was not aggres- ive and the market firmed up toward the close in anticipation of another bulge in Liverpool tomorrow. The close was with in 2 points of the best of the session on the active months. Light frosts were re ported in the Eastern belt, and some of the few reports reached the market that replanting would be necessary, but ex erted no influence owing to the earliness of the season. Exports for the day were very heavy, exceeping the port receipts, by about 30.090 bales, and the bulls wore predicting a bullish visible supply state ment at the end of the week. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged. Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 14.032 bales a.gainst 16.184 bales last week and 11,162 bales last year. For the week (estimated) 90,000 bales against 110.127 bales last week and 116,676 bales last year.

April 11.—The stock mar ket was still largely In professional hands today, but operations were conducted in a more aggressive manner and were ex tended to greater lengths. Constant shifting of "ositton still indicated a very uncertain frame of mind on the part of the professionals. Much of the day’s session was given up to what looked like testing operations without success in developing the prevail ing tendency of the market. The trading sank into extreme dullness at times un der the discouraging influence of these failures and then yielded decidedly such strength as the market showed was most in evidence in the early part ot tho day. Part of this was in response to a rise in the London markets as a result of the reduction in the official discount rate of the Bank of England from 5 to 4% per cent. The previous course of the money mar ket gave ample warning of the action and gave opoprtunity for discounting it in the securities market. Notwithstanding this general and con tinued yielding of money rates all oved the world, the stock market begins to reflect misgivings over its sufficiency to meet the large waiting demands. These include large volumes of authorized hut unsecured securities, or where the sale of these Is impracticable, probable further note issues. Signs of a movement of currency back to the interior also give "warning of the large requirements of the continued activity in trade. Another specific influence in the day’s market was the report from Washington of the decis ion of the Interstate Commerce Commis- ion to advise proceedings against the Harriman Railroad System as a combina tion in restraint of trade within the meaning of the laws. The closing tone was steady and at some recovery from the lowest. Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales, par value, $1.480.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

A man walked into Clerk Massen- burg’s office at tho city hall yesterday in nn angry state of mind. He said that his dog had been out In the country and the man who had him brought him into town the day • before and the dog-catcher had cap-- tured him. He was told that all dogs in the city must have'badges on to keep from being caught. He bought a badgo and was told that his dog was in the pound and would bo delivered to him on an order from the clerk after the fee was paid. This made him madder and he said that the dog must be delivered to the house from which he was taken or ho would sue the city for heavy damage. When the absurdity of the proposi tion was pointed out to him he paid the fee and went after the dog swear ing vengence on the dog-catcher and all the officials because the dog was not delivered to him.

At 8 a. m. a spark on the roof of Mr. Felix Dougherty's residence, S69 First street, caused the first run, but a few buckets of water saved the department from stretching hose. At 12:35 an alarm came in from Mr. Shurley's boarding house at 515 Sec ond street. Mr. J. E. Cross, a boarder, went up stairs to his room and hung his overcoat on a peg on the door. Then he went out, and In about fifteen minutes he returned to find the over coat and door burned. This was tha only damage, but why the overcoat should burn Is the mystery that puz zles Mr. Cross, tile boarders and the fire department. Matches may have been In the pock et, but rats could not get in the pocket to play with them. The third alrrn was caused by a fence near the corner of Plum an Sec ond being on fire. It was easy to put out, but the department 'had a run for it. GAMBLERS BEING TRIED BY COURT IN SAVANNAH. 115 .45* thousand. Storm sheathing at $!C per thousand.
