In the Coming New Year, There Should be Less of Politics and More of Progress, Less Talk and More Work.
MORGAN DEMANDS
ODB INTERFERENCE.
American Interests in the Chinese
Imbroglio Must Be
Protected.
TREATIES WOULD BE WORTHLESS.
If China Should be Divided, American Interests
Would Suffer—Where the
Danger Lies.
New York, Dec. 27.—According to
the Washington correspondent of the
Herald, Senator Morgan of Alabama,
of the committee on foreign rela
tions, said that it would be impossi
ble for the United States to remain
complacent,'should European nations
undertake the dismemberment of
China. Senator Morgan said : “If the
partition involves the abrogation of
the treaties, this country will be left
to make terms again with each Euro
pean nation separately in the terri
tory to which its sovereignty is ex
tended. Therefore, unless the pow
ers, now ambitious for territorial ex
tension, take into account the impor
tance of American commercial rela
tions with China, it will be necessary
tor the government to intervene in
self defense.
“If the cession is absolute, then
American interests must be taken
care of through treaties between
America and the countries to which
tile absolute cessions are made, re
spectively. If the territory is given
up merely for a time, there will be a
mixed responsibility, and it is a good
time for intervention and the wise ex
ercise of American diplomacy. The
German occupation of part of China
aDd the prospective occupation of
other parts by various European na
tions, is an effort to complete a cordon
ot offense to American commerce
from Yladivostock to Marseilles or
Liverpool. That cordon is being
stretched to contract the trade of 600,-
000,000 people, who hi<se direct trade
and intercourse with the Pacific
ocean. There is a great deal in the
Chinese problem that vitally inter
ests Americans, and which demand
immediate consideration from the
state department and congress.”

SENSITIVE SPAM
CAUSES SURPRISES.
Washington Officials Say Sagas
ta’s Last Attitude Is
UrjustiSable.
THAT CHARGE OF NEGLIGENCE.
Nothing in General Woodford’s Note to
Justify the Attitude of
Spain.
Washington, Dec. 27.—Officials here
are somewhat surprised at the exhi
bition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford, de
livered to the Spanish foreign office
the day before Christmas. While the
note itself will not be made public at
present.it is said that there is no
reason whatever why it should he
withheld, save that Ihe preceding
steps in the negotiations have not yet
seen light in the newspapers, and it is
desirable, when publication is made,
to preserve the complete chain of
events in the natural order, i’ossibly
the correspondence will be shortly
called tor by congress, in which case
it is not likely to be withheld on the
ground of public policy.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in auswer to the Spanish
note called forth by Mr. Woodford’s
very first note after his arrival at
Madrid. In the initial note the United
Sta ;s Minister pointed out the inter
est of his country in the early tertni
nation of the present struggle in Cuba,
and asked when sucli conclusion could
be expected. The Spanish Government,
in reply, acknowledged our interest in
the matter, but suggested, after stat
ing that it intended to ameliorate the
conditions in Cuba, that the United
States could best exercise its good
offices by stopping filibustering. To
this, General Woodford responded
with his note of last week, ft is said
to be a purely argumentative state
ment of the position taken by the
United States, and the facts are sub
stantiaily those so strongly drawn in
the president’s message to Congress,
of which it was supposed the Spanish
had been fully advised through the
newspapers.

THE FIRST OF THE SEASON.
Frank Beard Will Inaugurate Brunswick’s
Lyceum Course on January 8.
Frank Beard, the famous cartoonist
of Ram’s Horn, will be the first trav
eling entertainer to visit Brunswick
tnis season. The people, who have
suffered from the absolute dearth of
amusements, incident to the destruc
tion of the old opera house, will glad
ly take the opportunities to be offered
by the lyceum for good, healthful and
instructive entertainments through
the remainder of the season,
The lyceum is particularly fortunate
in securing Air. Beard to begin the
course. As an entertainer the great
cartoonist has few equals, and his
“Stories in Pictures” is reputed to be
the best thing of the kind ever oflered
the public. Mr. Beard gives exunpies
of the art of the cartoonist during the
course of his lecture, and his excellent
drawings are sources of much instruc
tion as well as amusement.
The entertainment will occur at the
the Mansfield street school building,
where ample seats will bs provided for
all. The public, non-members of the
lyceuui, will be charged a stated ad
mission fee, and those who are mem
bers, and hold a receipt from the
treasurer for their dues, can obtain
certificates of membership from the
secretary, entitling them to seats,
within the next few days.

VV. C. Brann, the famous Texas edi

wick but from all the surrounding
towns.

A FEW SYMPTOMS.
Some Detached Incidents That Marked a
•Wet Christmas.
—“Shay,” said an intoxicated indi
vidual as he leaned against a lamp
post and poured a quart or so of water
from the indented crown of his hat,
“i got sorter mixed up sliniornin’—
aint been sliober in weeksii. Could
you tell me whish was Ghris’inus—yes
terday or tomorrowsh 7”
—Among the gifts received Satur
day morning by a well-known young
man about town was a five dollar bill,
with the earnest request that he buy
a hat with it. Yesterday morning
t.he young man had fifteen cents left,
and the hat was still in the show win
dow of the Newcastle street haber
dasher.
—Two serious accidents occurred
during Christmas day. One negro is
in imminent danger of losing the
sight of both eyes as the result of a
roman candle fired from the wrong
end, and the other had one eje
knocked completely out, by the dis
charge of a big cannon cracker pre
maturely.
—Two negroes, Saturday night
about II o’clock, smashed in one of the
plate glass windows of Polhill’s drug
store with bricks, and were in the
act of entering the store, when the
arrival of Special Treasury Agent
Thornton on the scene caused them
to run. Mr. Thornton did not get
near enough to recognizs the ne
groes. They fled down Grant street.
The store had no lights burning in
side, and this accounts for its selec
tion by the burglars.
—The children are now looking for
ward with keen interest to the vari
ous Sunday school celebrations and
gift-distributions which form such a
pleasant part of the holiday season.
Those occasions thus far announced
are the Presbyterian entertainment
Tuesday evening; the First Methodist
on Friday evening; and the Baptist on
Tuesday evening.

Canal Bridge.
TRACES OF A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Human Intestines and Clotted Blood Stain
the Timbers—lnvestigation Now
in Progress.
What may develop into a murder
mystery, similar to the famous Guld
ensuppecase in New York, Is now the
subject of close investigation by resi
dents of the county in the vicinity of
the six-mile crossing.
Parties coming ioto the city late
yesterday afternoon were startled by
the discovery, on the little bridge that
spans the canal five miles from town,
fragments of human remains, bathed
in clotted blood, giving unmistakable
evidence of a foul murder.
The fragments consisted of portions
of the intestines and stomach of a hu
man being, particles of undigested
food, evidently from the stomach,
large clots of blood, and oilier sugges
*
tions of a horrible butchery .
On the bridge there wero signs of
ttu dragging of a heavy body to the
edge of the bridge, where it had prob
ably been dropped in the waters of the
canal below.
The discovery was made by Mr. Gus
Turner, who was on the way to the
city. Superintendent Lyles, of the
county convict camps, also came up,
and made an investigation.
The tide was high in the canal, and
without material it was impossible to
drag for ihe body. This will be done,
however, this morning.
Mr. Turner noticed that his dogs,
which were with him, would not
touch the blood. It, is a well known
fact that dogs will drink the blood of
animals, but, not of human beings.
Tiiis fact confirms the evidence that
the remains were those of a human
being.
The scene of the discovery is pe
culiarly II: ted for the execution of a
fiendish crime such as the one to
which these traces undoubtedly point.
Near there, stands the tree on which
were lynched the two negroes in 1892.
Crimes have b-mn committed in the
vicinity often, in the old days when
people were few and settlements far
between.
As yet, no solution of the m; stery
can be obtained, except that someone
was undoubtedly butchered. The
dragging of the canal this morning
will disclose whether or not the body
was thrown into the waier, or whether
the perpetrator of the crime made
other disposition of the remains. The
officers will go to the scene today,
and make a rigid seaich of the sur
roundings.
