THE WAR ends
AND PEACE REIGNS
Treaties Between America anil
Spain Are Exchanged.
A PROCLAMATION ISSUED
Friendly Intercourse Between
the Two Nations Resumed.
The condition of war which has ex¬
isted between the United States and
Spain since April 21, 1898, terminated
Tuesday, when the last formalities in
the restoration of peace were per-
formed by the exchange -of ratifies
tions oi the peace treaty,
Coincident with this,-President
Kinley issued his proclamation dee-lar-
“ ilirr g that the f war was was ct at an o„ on end, ,l anti anc
the appointment . of Bellamy btorer
was determined upon as T inted States
minister to Spain.
The'principal ceremony of the day
occurred in the reception room at the
white house when the exchange of
ratifications took place at- 2 o’clock,
In anticipation of the historic cliarac-
ter of the. event, many members in the
cabinet and o.Ticials prominent in the
administration gathered *t the white
bouse -
Shortly before 3 o’clock -the French
ambassador, M. Cambon, arrived in
with ' ” ” M. Thiebaut. ’ ' first " *
company
secretary ,of the emltassy, the lattei
bearing the Spanish copy of the peace
treaty.
Mr. McKinley cordially greeted the
.ambassador,-and after a brief exchange
of well wishes, the formal ceremony
began.
The powers-of M. Cambon and See-
■rotary Hay were examined, a protocol
concerning the dav’s ceremony signed
-an(bother formalities concluded. These
preliminaries took some time, so that
it was nearly 3::30 o’clock before the
actual exchange began.
'The effect of the action taken is to
completely renew peace relations,
trade, official, diplomatic, consular and
in all other ways, Between this coun-
try and Spain.
Following the appointment of «
United States minister to Madrid and

a time the trade and navigation
between the two countries will pro-
ceed without treaty protection, as the
war put an end to the commercial
treaty, but a treaty of trade, naviga-
tion and commerce, suitable to the
new conditions and the needs of both
countries and also au extradition treaty
will be negotiated soon. After the
ceremony President McKinley issued
the following proclamation:
The President’s Proclamation.
Whereas, A treaty of peace between
the United States of America and her
majesty, the queen regent of Spain, in
the name of her august son, Alfonso
XIII, was concluded and signed by
their respective plenipotentiaries at
Paris on the 10th day of December,
1898, the original of which conception 1
being in the English and Spanish
languages, and
Whereas, The said convention has
been duly ratified on both parts, and
the ratifications of the two govern-
ments were exchanged in the city of
Washington on the 11th day of April,
1899.
Now, therefore, be it known that I,
William McKinley, president of the
United States of America, have caused
the said convention to be made pub-
lie,to the end that the same and every
articles and clause thereof may be ob-
served and fulfilled with good faith by
the United States and the citizens
thereof.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

PROCLAMATION EFFECTIVE.
Vlany Filipinos Express Desire to
Become Citizens of United States.
President McKinley received a dis-
,atoh Thursday from Dr. Schurman, !
resident of the Philippine commis- :
*
i -ion, now at Manila.
The message says that the proclatn-
ition recently issued has done great-
rood and that the Filipinos are visit-
ng the commissioners every day to
express their satisfaction and desire
:o become citizens of this country.
The message also stated that the
Hlipinos coming into Manila declare
hat Aguinaldo’s government is tyran-
lical and that many natives are de-
lerting from his standards each day.
COAL OPERATORS COMBINE.
They Secure Options On Properties
Albng Monongahela River.
A Pittsburg dispatch says: The
,ig combination of all the coal inter■
is ts on the Monongahela river have is been nmv
, ud assured fact, Options river
leeured on practically all mines,
sine property, coal boats, toiv boats,
fcc. The brokers engineering the
cheme say the combination will be
apitalized at $30,000,000.
MUST SMOW CULPABILITY.
Government Will Sustain Admiral
Kautx In the Meantime.
A Washington dispatch says: As a
result of conferences held Tuesday at
the state department and at the Brit-
ish embassy, efforts will be made te
have the Samoan high commission
make a quick trip across the country
reaching ban rranei&co in tune to
catch the next,boat leaving for Samoa.
This is regarded us a distinctly fa-
vOrable turn in the negotiations, and
ns indicating that the three govern-
meats arc very near to a complete ac-
cord on all the poiuts-of the corn mis-
sion.
It does away also with the reports
that Germany was withholding
appointment of her commissioner, and
makes practically certain that Baron
Speck Von Sternberg, first secretary
of the German embassy at Washing-
t'> n , will be the German high comnus-
sioner.
j n an aiufchoritative .quarter it was
stated that reports of a German protest
against Admiral ICautz's course in ref-
erenoe to the treatment-of the cruiser
paIk# wefe tinwarrnnt ed. All the ne-
go tj a tions, it >is said in the highest
Geirnan quarters, are of stick a charac¬
ter as to bring the governments more
closely together instead of separating
them.
As it has been strongly-intimated in
the Berlin dispatches that the German
government was about to -make a de-
lnand f or a -disavowal of Admiral
Kautz’s action, dt may be -stated that
0U1 . government-will certainly not ac-
c ,,, de to ariv 9 , K -h-request in-,advance of
a full knowledge of all t-be facts in the
ca3e and a conviction that the admiral
acted wrongly, the presumption al-
being that onr officers have acted
with due propriety .until the contrary
is & > lown to be the -case.

UNFAVORABLE TO MRS. GEORGE.
———
Pohce Officers of Canton Testify in j
Saxton Tlurder Trial.
The trial of Mrs. George at Canton,
O., Tuesday was largely devoted to ev-
idence of policemen who worked on j
the murder case. They detailed the;
arrest- and described her appearance
and conduct. .
Police officers McCloud and Rhon
said Mrs. George, on being taken to
prison, was searched by a woman doc-
tor. The thumb and forefinger of her
right hand were discolored and on
smelling of it they pronounced the
discoloration due to burnt gun power. ,
They also testified to finding burdock
burrs and Spanish needles on her !
skirt and finding similar burrs ami
needles in the vacant lots near the

The motion for a new trial in th«
case of W. M. Bridges, convicted of
embezzlement for a second time last
January, was completed atRome, Ga..
Tuesday afternoon,
Judge Henry overruled-the motion
a*^ sentenced Bridges to four years
in the penitentiary. The bond was
fixed at $3,000 and pending its execu¬
tion Bridges occupies a cell in the
county jail.
PROVISION WAS OMITTED.
Defect Has Been Discovered In Geor¬
gia’s Convict Law.
lt ntfw «eems certain that in spite of
„ the care given the formation of Geor-
gia’s new convict law by the ast leg-
lslature, a serious oversight, that may
produce much inconvenience,has been
detected in it. The evident mistake
in the system has been pointed out by
Comptroller General Wright, who has
submitted the facts to the attorney
general for his opinion.
There is apparently in the new lease
law no provision for the payment of
boards of inspection and chaplains for
the various penitentiary camps, which
have always been required by Jaw.

whose monument is the declaration of
independence—the first democratic
president, the first secretary of state,
the constructor of the first democratic j
platform, the founder of the demo-
cratic party. ,
“Thomas Jefferson was a party man
of the democratic type. To him as a
democrat, the world is a debtor for
that which was a novelty in political
government until his own immortal
words proclaimed the doctrine that the
right to‘life, liberty and the pursuit -
of happiness’ is inalienable, and to se-
cure it governments are instituted,;
‘deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed.’ As a law-
giver, the northwestern ordinance,

state affairs, dwelling at length ou the
canal scandals, and then going into
national affairs, he outlined the policy
that the democrats of New York be¬
lieve should be embodied in the next
national platform.

ENGLAND TO BLAME.
So Declare Germans In Regard to the
Samoan Row.
The German Democrat, published
in San Francisco has received a leWer
from one of the chief German offkiials
at Samoa, which is interesting as «iv-
ing the, German views of the coiujwliea-
*«"• «* A *> ia
I ho coraeRpondent , t writes .. that with
all the shooting that has been done
not a single MaVaafan had been tilled
or wounded and that the Mataafansand
Germans have apparently no respect
for the fighting atbility of the American
and British sailors.
The Mataafans are anxious for the
allied forces to come out and fight in
: the opera, where they, with their na-
tive implements of war, will have a
chance against the modern weapons
used by the Americans.
j The writer says that Admiral Kautz
gave ne warning of the bombardment,
. aIK ] that when it commenced he
thought a salute had been fired.
According to the correspondent,
Britieh Consul Masse is greatly
blamed for the-trouble and there seems
| to , . be an inclination .... among the . Ow- _
mans to hold the British responsible
for the war instead of the Americans.
The German commander of the
Falke ij’.i in aaaimon addition to to receiving receiving o on
, board the womea and children his
; own nationality, extended to Aateri-
can and English women and children
the hospitality of his ship, which was
greatly crowded. The German cor
respondent says that Admiral Kautz
thanked the Germans for their court-
by shelling the German consulate.
The admiral later attributed the firing
on the consulate to poor ammunition.
The writer says that stores are being
openly plundered by the Mataafans
: and the English cannot stop it.
On March 24th Mataafa sent word
to Admiral Kautz that he would stop
fighting if the whites would let him
alone. The admiral replied that he
would capture Mataafa and hang him.

j Captain St-urdee wants to proceed

the German writer the only cure for
the trouble will be the sending of new
consuls and new commanders, who
- will act in harmony.
According to a dispatch from Wash-
ington the German ambassador, Dr.
Von Holleben, called on Secretary
Hay Monday and went over the
Samoan question quite fully.
The ambassador expressed the
wishes of the German government to
quesHons the couit of AdmirMKauVz.
There is no disposition on the part
0 f the German authorities to repudi-
ate Herr Rose’s course. The Kautz-
Rose incident, it is said, in the high-
o at quarters, official and diplomatic,
will be quite immaterial in affecting
the settlement under the high com-
mission,
The British ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, also conferred with Secre-
tary Hay on Samoan affairs.
The president has selected Bartlett
Tripp, of South Dakota, formerly
minister to Austria, as the United
States representative on the Samoan
joint commission.

REWARD FOR MURDERER.
Candler Offers $250 . F For the . Ap-
uov.
prehension of Sam Hose.
Governor Caudler, of Georgia, on
receiving official information of the
assassination of Alfred Cranford and
the assault of Mrs Cranford by Sam
Hose, a negro, near Palmetto, offered
a reward of $250 for the arrest of the
criminal and his delivery to the sheriff
of Fulton county at the county jail.
It is unusual to require that a pris-
oner be delivered to the sheriff' of a
county other than that in which the
crime was committed, but Governor
Candler desires Hose brought to At¬
lanta for safe keeping and in order
that a lynching may be avoided.

AN I a 'ERT ON FARM CONDITIONS.
p e gays Farm Investment Paid Belter
Years Ago Than To-bay.
The 1 bn (rial Commission gave t
hearing recently in Washington ob
farm conditions, the principal wittiest
, )t . i;! g Assistant Secretary Bingham of
tllB Agriculturnl Department.' Mr.
Brigham said that he had been con-
nee ted with the Grange movement
nearly twenty years, and as master of
the National Grange for nine year*
bad traveled over the country consid¬
erably. The number of men employed
on farms was about the same, he said,
as fifty years ago. The tendency, how-
ever, was toward shorter hours and
lighter work, and in general the condi¬
tion and wages of the farm hands bad
improved. This was largely due to the
use of machinery and Improved meth¬
ods, and not. organization of labor. The
system of crop sharing, he said, was
increasing, and would, he thought,
largely supplant that of hiring men for
^
Brigham favored the teaching of
the elementary principles of agricult-
ure in the public schools, as arousing
the interest of the boys in that branch
would tend to keep them on the farm
and away from the cities. The money

Sphinx and Man.
Now, for the first time, a photograph
of the Sphinx with one man standing
on top of it and another half way tig
the front, has been taken, showing at
a glance the tremendousness of this
monument which is more than six
thousand years old. Figures give so
p 001 - a n idea of size that they hardly
convey anything to the mind. Close
your eyes and try to imagine a figure
sixty-five feet high, and its body a
hundred and eighty-nine feet long;
each ear is two yards wide, the nose
is five feet long, the mouth is seven
feet wide, large enough to swallow a
six-footer if it were opened, and the
distance across the face from one
cheek to another is fourteen feet.
If a five-story flat house were built
** *’ ^ C ' T,Wre hUV *
been some great artists in that day
to think of so big a work, which bag
never been since equaled.
The meaning of the Sphinx is on< of
the hardest problems of scholars. Sum*
say it is the statue of some old Egyp¬
tian god, others that It is a symbol ol
the rising sun, but the most probabl*
explanation is that the Sphinx is 11i«
statue of some one of the Pharaohs of
old Egypt. Its head is that of a man,
and the body of the lion was only a
symbol of the power of the mighty
king who had it hewn. There are any
number of Sphinxes in Egypt, but ( till
one is the largest and finest of them
all.
