I American Tobacco Company 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 It is proposed that ail of the present Consolidated Tobacco Company's col lateral trust bonds shall be withdrawn, and that the only bonds to be left out- shall be the 6 per cent, and thij 4 per'cent, direct obligations of the new .company.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."

Board of lady Manager** at St. Louis Had Invited Governor Ter rell and Otlier Georgians to a Re ception-Governor and His Friends ’look a Tally Ho Hide anil Were 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. Color Qneittfoit Canted Them to De cline nn Alliance. 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. I.n<iy rnnon'i Condition, Walmer Castle, Kent, Sept, 30, 8:28 p. m. —Lady Curaon has passed a very comfortable day. 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. question” /eracity 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 IN THE YENTAI DISTRICT. 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 tainable, the Japanese army confront ing Gen. Kuropatkin comprises a grand total of 180 battalions. Allow- Ing 800 men to a battalion, there are Continued on Fifth Pace. OF WORLD PEACE LAWYERS TALKED CONCLUDED THEIR CONGRESS.

Kor Sherman'a March To Savan nah Kurniahed Subject for Debate. St. Louis, Sept. 30.—The first con vention of the Universal Congress of 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 conflict. 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 gress marked an epoch in the relations existing among the lawyers of the world, which relationship would be far reaching in finally establishing a com plete understanding between nations, leading to the eventual extinction of war. Desolation fop Hoar. A resolution was adopted that thin congress request the American Bar Association to take such steps as are necessary to organize a permanent association of lawyers representing the different countries of the world, which shall meet at intervals to dis cuss legal questions of public inter est. The congress also adopted a resolution expressing Us profound grief over the death of one of its most distinguished members, United States Senator George F. Hoar. Sir Richard Kennedy of England dis cussed the extent to which decrees of divorce should be recognized in foreign countries, saying it was Just that differences of married people should be adjusted in accordance with the laws of the community, where they belong. Assoc’ate Justice Douglas of the Supreme Court of North Carolina de 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.

I am glad that the misunderstanding of a hundred odd years ago is driven happily, blessed ly, and, please God, permanently, away from our hearts and from our minds.” The brotherhood convention was opened to-day by Rt. Kev. J. M. Horen, of Asheville, N. C.. A report Increas ing the number of members of the general council from thirty-two to fif ty was adopted.
