Agreed to the Proposition—lt is
Said That a Prohibitory Order ot
Court Hns Been Secured-
S/ew York, Sept. 30.—Meetings of
the American, the Consolidated and
the Continental Tobacco Companies
were held in Jersey City to-day for ac
tion on the agreement for the merger
or consolidation of the three companies,
which had been adopted by the di
rectors of the Consolidated Tobacco
Company on Sept. 9, 1904. The plan
submitted proposes a consolidation of
the three concerns, with a total bond
and stock liability of about $250,000,000,
something like $110,000,000 less than the
aggregate of th'at of the three com
panies at present.
It is proposed that ail of the present
Consolidated Tobacco Company's col
lateral trust bonds shall be withdrawn,
and that the only bonds to be left out-
shall be the 6 per cent, and
thij 4 per'cent, direct obligations of the
new .company.
The first meeting held was that of
stockholders of the American Tobacco
Company, and there were 1,157,074
shares voted in favor of the merger to
405 against it.
W. W. Fuller, counsel for the Amor
at
lean Tobacco Company, who presided,
said that he had heard that an injunc
tion had been got out yesterday in
Tvemun, but that he had not seen the
papers, as they had not yet been served
on him.
At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Consolidated Tobacco Company,
which followed that of the American
Company, action on the merger plan
was postponed until Oct. 17. The post
ponement w*as taken in order to await
the outcome of the suit against the
combination.
The adjournment of the meeting of
the Consolidated Company's stock
holders was agreed on by those in
charge of the proposed consolidation,
it being thought best that that particu
lar meeting be held over .without ac
tion at this time, although it was said
that the injunction had not yet been
served.
Only a few shares of the Continental
Tobacco Company were voted against
the merger plan, when the stockhold
ers of that company met this after
noon, while 869,546 shares W’ere voted in
favor of the proposition.
PARKER GOES TIOME.
He Will Return to siew York for
Further Campaign Work.
New York. Sept. 30.—Judge Parker
took the 6:45 o'clock train to-night
from Weehawken for Esopus. He is
expected to return here next Mon
day.
Senator Gorman of Maryland visited
the judge again to-day, and during
the hour he spent with the Demo
cratic nominee they went over to
gether all that hits been done dur
ing the campaign and has been con
templated. Their discussion, it is
said, had to do largely with the re
|doliciliations among the many ele
ments of the Democratic party which
have not been in harmony.
Neither Judge Parker nor Senator
Gorman, who is connected with the
national campaign in an advisory
capacity, is giving attention to de
tails. The important and broad ques
tions, the movement to bring out
Democratic votes, the measures which
are necessary to bring factions to
gether and the steps that should be
taken to further unite the party are
the questions which engrossed the
candidate, and the Senator to-day.
Party leaders express themselves as
highly pleased with the visits to New
York of Judge Parker, as tending to
bring about even more harmonious
relations. To that end the judge will
return to this city next Monday, in
creasing the length of his stay.
Mayor McClellan made a brief visit,
and it was explained that It was
necessarily so on account of the many
engagements of both Judge Parker
and the mayor, and that it was only
a call of courtesy. However, it is
known that Judge Parker suggested
to the mayor that he would he glad
to have him make some speeches dur
ing the campaign, to which the mayor
assented.

NUMBER 17.798.
A LOSS OF $250,000
IN A NEW YORK FIRE.
Fire Chief Croker Hail si Yarrow Es
cune From Death.
New York, Sept. 30. —Nearly a quar
ter of a million dollars loss was caused
by a fire in the big block of meat pack
ing houses and refrigerating plants in
tenth avenue, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets. Starting late last
night, the fire burned steadily through
the night before it was brought under
control late to-day.
Chief Croker came near meeting
death by falling through a floor weak
ened by the flames into a cellar under
the building. He was rescued by two
firemen, when it was found that his
hand was badly cut. A few moments
later the chief rushed up a ladder and
rescued two firemen who had been
overcome by ammonia fumes, in time
to prevent their falling to the ground.
The heaviest loss was in the three
story building occupied by the Cudahy
Packing Company, and the T. A.
Wheeler Company and Conron Bros.,
dealers in poultry, where the fire
started.
The Raines law hotel of D. F. Cun
ningham and two four-story buildings
occupied by T. A. Wheeler & Cos., and
the G. H. Hammond Company were
practically destroyed. The loss to the
Cudahy Company is estimated to reach
$125,000, and that of the others between
$75,000 and SIOO,OOO.
Bursting ammonia pipes and tanks
made masses of fumes which caught
fire and sent forth cooking gases, and
the buildings that went up like tinder
boxes made the fire one of the worst
with which the firemen have had to
contend in a long time. Nearly two
score firemen were overcome by the
fumes, but all were afterwards able to
return to their work.
The fire broke out again this after
noon, but was finally got under con
trol.
CONDITION^OF PAYNE.
Physicians Appreciate That It I*
Very Serious.
Washington, Sept. 30.—The condition
of Postmaster General Payne, whose
serious illness was announced last
night, continued extremely grave
throughout to-day.
To-night at about 8 o’clock Mr.
Payne fell into a restful sleep, which
continued for some time. The doctors
regarded this as encouraging for a
peaceful night. Several bulletins were
issued by the physicians during the
day, and all of them indicated the crit
ical condition of the patient. The
greatest cause of alarm was the fee
bleness of heart action, and it was
found necessary to administer saline
solution and nitro-glycerine to stimu
late that organ. Only moderately
sized doses were given, however, and
in each Case the response was gratify
ing.
Dr. William Osier, the heart special
ist and diagnostiojan of Baltimore, was
brought into the case this evening. He
remained for about an hour and joined
the other physicians in signing the 7
o’clock bulletin.
Everywhere in official circles to-day
the deepest concern and solicitude was
manifested in the outcome. The Pres
ident is being kept constantly advised
during the day, and both he and Mrs.
Roosevelt have called in person during
the day and evening.
The following bulletin was issued at
7:30 . m.:
“The Postmaster General’s condition
still continues to be serious. He has
had several sinking spells during the
day, each time, however, he has re
sponded to treatment.
Signed.) “W. Osier.
“P. M. Rixey.
"G. Lloyd Magruder.”
Dr. Osier said that the Postmaster
General’s condition was critical, but
that he had hopes that Mr. Payne
might yet pull through.
CLEVELAND WON’T~SPEAK.
*
Positive Announcement Tlint He
Will not Take the Stamp.
New York, Sept. 30.—At Democratic
headquarters to-day the announce
ment was made that ex-President
Grover Cleveland would not speak dur
ing the campaign. George F. Parker
of the literary department of the na
tional committee said: “Every report
which represents Mr. Cleveland as
about to go upon the stump is abso
lutely without authority either from
himself or from the Democratic Na
tional Committee. These reports na
turally have the effect of misleading
the public, and also are annoying to
Mr. Cleveland. He has announced at
all times that he would do all In his
power to promote Democratic success,
but that he ought not to be expect
ed to make speeches.”
Continuing, Mr. Parker said: “His
position will be still further defined
in many proper and efficient ways of
communication before the close of the
campaign. He has no purpose of
shirking any such discussion of the
issues as his health will permit, and
which will also be consistent with his
relation to the party and to the pub
lic by reason of his position as an
ex-president. But it cannot be an
nounced too emphatically or with too
mudh authority that he will not make
speeches at any time or In any place."

LADIES FURIOUS
WITH GOVERNOR
HE AND OTHER GEORGIANS
WERE EXPECTED GUESTS WHO
DID NOT APPEAR.
Board of lady Manager** at St.
Louis Had Invited Governor Ter
rell and Otlier Georgians to a Re
ception-Governor and His Friends

Having Siiela a Good Time They
Decided to Cut the Reception.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 30.—Gov. Ter
rell and his staff, the Georgia com
missioners, and other prominent Geor
gians were busy to-day, trying to ex
plain to the board of lady managers
why their invitation to the tea and
reception arranged especially for them
had been entirely ignored.
The lady managers went to great
trouble to arrange a function which
was to have been very elaborate, and
to have been held in their building
yesterday afternoon. The rooms were
tastefully decorated for the occasion.
When the time for the arrival of the
guests came, Mrs. Manning, president
of the board, and Mesdames Porter,
Andrews, Montgomery and Frost of
the board were there to receive them.
Only one came, although dozens had
been invited. He was Col. W. L.
Peel. Members of the board were fur
ious when they learned the other Geor
gians were out tally, his riding about
the exposition grounds, and they are
said to have dismissed Col. Peel
rather abruptly.
The only explanation given the
board so far by the Georgians is
they were enjoying their ride so much
they forgot al! about the reception.
BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL.
Method* of Dealing AVith the Peat
are Set Forth.
Washington, Sept. 30.—The Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a re
port on its investigation of the prob
lem of controlling the boll weevil in
cotton seed and at ginneries.
The report makes several recommen
dations designed to greatly retard the
present rate of spread of the great cot
ton pest, and says that such means
of control are imperative. The report
recommends storage of the “seed” in
a building separate from the “seed
cotton” storage house; the installation
in the latter of special cleaners or
droppers, which also would facilitate
ginning; more extensive use of cleaner
feeders and cotton cleaners in the gin
house proper, the trash therefrom to
be so treated as to destroy the wee
vils and the perfecting of a device for
removing and destroying the weevils
in the seed and motes.
The report says that whenever the
system of handling and ginning cot
ton its not found to be effective in re
moving weevils, as in practically all
the smaller and many of the larger
ginneries in Texas and Louisiana, the
seed should be properly sacked and
fumigated.
Farmers are urged to adopt precau
tions to prevent the introduction of
the weevils in seed or hulls for feed
ing purposes, as well as in ginnery
refuse.
The report concludes that it does
not seem possible to control the boll
weevil effectively at the oil mills.
CAROLINA PRESBYTERIANS
VOTE AGAINST A UNION.

Columbia, S. C„ Sept. 30.—The Sec
ond Presbytery of the Associate Re
formed Presbyterian Synod convened
at Clinton yesterday and is still in ses
sion, with a full representation of the
churches.
To-day a vote was taken on the
proposition to unite with the United
Presbyterian Church and the expres
sion was unfavorable to the proposi
tion by the vote of 34 to 8. This is
the first of the eight or ten Presby
teries of the Associate Reformed Pres
terian Synod to vote on this question.
The others will vote within the next
few months, The chief objection to
union with the Northern church, as
brought out at this meeting, is the
negro; the Northern church admitting
negroes to membership.
The Second Presbytery includes all
of the churches in Georgia and some
in South Carolina. There are about
forty-five delegates to the presbytery,
nearly all the churches being repre
sented.
DR. HOGG LAY DOWN~
BEFORE A FREIGHT TRAIN.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 30. —Dr. Thomas
D. Hogg, an aged and prominent citi
zen here, was run over to-day by a
freight train and killed. Dr. Hogg
Is reported to have laid down on the
track, and as once previously he had
attempted to take his life. It Is sup
posed this was a case of suicide. He
was 81 years old and was a large prop
erty owner here and In New York city.
Temporary aberration of mind Is
supposed to have caused the act.
His body was cut entirely in half
In the Seaboard Air Line freight yard
by the tender of a backing engine. His
friends say that death was accidental,
his feebleness causing his fall before
the tender when it was within four
feet of him.

SAVANNAH. GA., SATURDAY. OCTOBER 1. 1904.
JAPS HAVE DRIVEN
THE RUSSIANS BACK.
Kuropatkln's Ontpoata are Forced
to Retire.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 30.-4:50 p. m.—
Fr<yn a reliable source the Associated
Press hears that sharp fighting has
occurred near Mukden, resulting in the
Japanese driving in Gen. Kuropatkin’s
outposts.
Important dispatches have been re
ceived and transmitted to the Emperor.
They ‘are believed to confirm the As
sociated Press information. The gen
eral staff, however, is unable at present
to go beyond the positive assurance
that the main Russian army is still at
Mukden.
RAILWAY DEPENDENCE
OF GEN. KUROPATKIN.
If He Retires to Harbin the Conntry
Cannot Support Him.
Gen. Kuroki’s Headquarters in the
Field, Undated, via Tien Tsin, Sept.
30, Evening.—The most interesting mil
itary problem at present is how large
a Russian army the railway can sup
port in Manchuria. While the army
is south of Harbin, almost all the
necessary food supplies can be ob
tained in the country, but the farther
north it goes the more it must de
pend on the railway, while at the
same time the Japanese will gain an
advantage, by having an increased
area to draw from.
The richest section of Manchuria is
the country of which Liao Yang is
the principal market, and the crops
in that section in this season are un
usually large. Merchants who are ac
quainted with the country believe that
if Gen. Kuropatkin should retreat to
Harbin he must then bring nearly
every pound of food by means of the
railway, especially as this year’s crop
1n tjie Sungari valley has proved a
failure. Besides this, every horse for
the Russian commander must be
brought over the railway.
If winter campaigning is attempted,
on which point there is much specula
tion, it will become increasingly diffi
cult after December, because the
ground freezes to so great a depth as
to render Intrenching operations al
most impossible.
The organization of the Japanese
army continues to be as efficient as
it has been since the beginning of the
campaign. Most of the troops were
equipped with winter clothing when
the first cold weather and snow ar
rived and khaki has been replaced by
heavier material with remarkable
quickness.
The railway will be operated to
Liao Yang within a week and through
trains will be running to the front
from Dalny and New Chwang.
The harvesting is progressing slowly
in the fields in front of the'Japan
ese army , p.nd to the southward.
Thousands of Chinese are employed
as teamsters and coolies by the Jap
anese army. There is, therefore, a
great scarcity of labor, and as a. re
sult many of the crops are neglected.
The thick millet, which has been a
great factor in the -movements of
both armies, has nearly all been reap
ed, and there is now little more than
bare plains.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press rode from Liao Yang to New
Chwang and found that surprisingly
little damage had been done to the
grain, considering that two great arm
ies had fought over the country, while
with the exception of a few buildings
which had been burned In the Rus
sian settlement at Liao Yang, there
were small evidences of destruction.
The territory is far from being as
devastated as *ght naturally have
been expected.
The reports which charge the Jap
anese troops with looting at Liao Yang
were greatly exaggerated. Some of
the soldiers who first entered Liao
Yang, finding plenty to drink, help
ed themselves, and did some looting
of small articles from the shops, but
the conduct of the Japanese army as
a whole throughout the campaign In
respecting property has been Irre
proachable. The looting done at I.iao
Yang was Insignificant and compar
ed with the looting at Tien Tsin and
Pekin by foreign troops in 1900, It
is not worthy of mention.
Conditions at Mukden are bad.
There are 30,000 refugees there with
out resources, and in the deepest pov
erty.

OF CHE FOO REPORTS.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 30.—1n view of
the fact that advices have been re
ceived' from the Russian consulate at
Che Foo saying the Japanese assaults
on Port Arthur Sept. 20 to Sept. 26
were successfully beaten off, the au
thorities at the War Office discredit
the Che Foo report that the Japanese
have captured the main forts at Port
Arthur. The information of the War
Office proves that the Japanese losses
during the siege have been 45,000, kill
ed or wounded.
The reports from Seoul of the land
ing of a Russian detachment from
Vladivostok north of Hamheung are
denied at the War Office. The few
Russian troops in Northeastern Korea
went there overland.
SEVERAL SKIRMISHES

St. Petersburg, Sept, 30.—Gen.
S.akharoff reports that between Sept.
16 and Sept. 29, there were several
skirmishes In the Yental district, all
of which resulted favorably to the
Russians. The Japanese advance
posts before Yental station, Gen. Sak
haroff adds, have been reinforced. On
Sept. 28, a strong vanguard of Jap
anese was encountered on the Man
darin road and driven back to Yen
tal, losing twenty In killed and
wounded.
ARE THE JAPANESE
ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Mukden, Sept. 30.—A great change in
the situation here has occurred. The
Japanese now appear anxious to act
on the defensive and have fortified a
position northwest of th Yental
mines.
According to the best estimates ob

Lawyers and Jurists concluded to-day,
after three days of presentation tend
discussion of legal propositions of
world-wide interest, chief of which was
the ultimate establishment of inter
national peace and abolishment of all

Associate Justice David J. Brewer of
the United States Supreme Court, pres
ident of the congress, expressed the
sentiment that the hopes of the prime
movers of the congress, in its success,
had been fully realized.
The opinion was expressed generally
by the distinguished delegates from
every nation represented that the con

existing among the lawyers of the
world, which relationship would be far
reaching in finally establishing a com

A resolution was adopted that thin

Sir Richard Kennedy of England dis

clared that although divorce may at
times b* a necessary evil, it should
never receive moral encouragement or
pecuniary support.
Sherman’* March to the Sea.
Everett P. Wheeler, member of the
New York bar* asserted that devasta
tion of private property on land or sea
anted as a direct injury to the pillag
ers, and in this connection referred to
the march of Sherman 'through Geor
gia as helping the Confederate cause,
and delaying the final result.
This statement brought Moorfleld
Storey to his feet and the Bostonian
immediately denounced the New York
er's statement as ridiculous. He said
that the fact that the destruction of
private property, whether on land or
on sea, was of an advantage to the de
stroyer could not be gainsaid, and that
as long as war lasted destruction and
pillage would follow in its tracks.

block of the river bed at any point,
and Commercial street was flooded for
three blocks In the heart of the business
district.
Meantime the electric light and gas
plants had been flooded and the city

of citizens thronged the streets on the
edge of the submerged district, carry
ing lanterns and doing their best to
provide those driven from home with
shelter.

Princess Rosplgltosl) to Col. Fred H.
Tarkhurst of Bangor, Me.

married to Col. Parkhurst, from
whom she was divorced In 1894. The
vereniony was performed by Arch
bishop Chappelle, without, as she al
leges, a dispensation having been pro
cured for the marriage of a Catholic
with a Protestant. JH
In 1901 she was married to Pylncfl
