Ckini A TERRIBLE SCOURGE The Danger Is Pwaed for the Pres ent. ? 1 Tho Astounding Indifference of the Doctors and the Nurses to Catching the Disease, Which Seems to Be So Fatal. A Pekln letter Bay* many true stories are told of ? the plague In North China. In'one shop a tailor had eight apprentices. Two of these died. Their bodies were hidden, and no report was made. Then four more were stricken and died. But now the master was unerved. He gathered together his money, collect ing what debts he could, and with a hoard of $346 hurried off to the rail way, determined to flee from the place. I But ho had come from tho Infected district, and the railway would not issue him a ticket. In despair he returned to his shop, and three days later he died. Two apprentices now survived. They divided hlB monpy, I and looked forward to the enjoyment of their gains and of the propert, Escape, however, was denied thorn. Both died, and when the bears came to search the house they ,,found t^ money equally shared sewn up In the clothing on their dead bodies. The danger is over for the present. Delegates are now gathering for the conference 1 n Mukden, which will meet under the presidency of Dr. Wu Llentch. Many Interesting ques tions await answer. What is the or igin of the plague? Why has it died break out before? Why has it died out? What is the nature of tho marmot plague? W'H the pneumon- ( lc outbreak be succeeded by a bu- ( bonic Infection? During the reoeijt outbreak there has been an unusual mortality among horses, mules and pigs. There are pneumonlo symp toms but It ie believed no plague In fection. What Is the explanation? I Is the mortality a coincidence only? 1 Finally, what is to prevent a recur rence Of the plague next October? Infection was by -direct contact, i Rat? and fleaa played no small part 7 of recovery. < children fared and middle-aged. In one family, out of fourteen persons there were only two survivors, a woman of seventy one fttid her great grand-child of two. Evidence as to the value of inocu lation Is inconclusive, but evldenoe Is overwhelming that nearly every case of death among a European pop ulation in the infected areas of North Manchuria of not less than 60,000. Astonishing Indifference was man ifested in the face of danger. Dr. Mesny, a brilliant French doctor who died, was examining, unmasked the chest sounds of a patient with his naked ear when the patient coughed into his face and thus gave him his death. Dr. Michel, the Russian doc tor, whoBe death shocked the com munity, believing himself immume, showed a reckless disregard of pre cautions. . (When Pere Metlllet was struck down in Hulanfu, a large Chinese towiu his fellow mlelsonary from a neighboring district, Pere Delpal, came to nurse him. They had been friends from boyhood. Pere Delpal klRsed his drlng comrade on the Hps, was Infected and died In three days. In the chief plague hospital, 1,600 plague patients were admitted and 1,600 died. An aged Chinese quack of the old school, named Ku, assist ed by one dresser, was In charge of the hospital. They cared for the dy ing, superintended the removal of the deed, incurred appalling rlflkB, took no precaution and yet enjoyed complete Immunity. Both were opium smokers. >Id persons and young better than the strong BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.

WILL HANG FIRE At Legislator* lay Have te Settle Ike Stale Dispei sary latter THE ONLY WAY OUT Governor Bletue Says Not, mod Takes the Position That the Commis sion Can Investigate the Old One, Himself and Folder.-? New Com mission to Meet Soon. The polumbla correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle Bays the gen eral Impression Is that the Felder Blease dispensary contrtrrorsy -will be left for the next general assembly to decide and that the entire matter will be cleared up by the passage of a resolution providing for an in vestigation of the chargoB preferred by the governor against T. B. Fel der, and the members of the old dispensary commission; Gov. Blease himself and others. That in the opinion of many is the only solution to a very complex situation that has been brought about by counter charges on the part of the governor of South Carolina, and the Atlanta attorney, ' T. B. Felder. The Governor takes the position that ho will use the new dispensary oomtoission to Investigate the old commission and himself. Under the law providing for the dispensary commission no such investigation be held. The governor vetoed the res olution of the last general assembly which provided for an investigating committee on the grounds that his enemies were members of that part of the committee named by C. A. Smith, the president of the senate. He brought charges against well known and honest business men of the state and then denied them the right of an impartial Investigation. When the governor named the new commission, one member which is bis former law partner, F. H. Domlnick, he said that hr had turn ed over his special message to the general assembly in which the char ges against the old commission were contained with instructions to make a thorough Investigation. This move Is considered by many as the first Bteps toward the preparation of a poet of "white wash." The members of the old commission will Insist on an Investigation and will very probably tAS governor's veto, for this power would no doubt be applied to any measure of Buch nature by the chief execu tive. The new oommlBsion will meet In Columbia In the near future when some kind of work will be resumed, the nature of which has not been stated. B. F. Kelly, of Blshopville, the secretary of the body is in Col umbia, he says doing "clerical work." When asked as to the next meeting of the commission he said that it would be held soon. When asked if another Felder letter had been received he replied "I have not reoeived a letter from Mr. Felder." Several days ago T. B. Felder ad dresed a letter to the commission in which he discussed the contract by the State of* South Carolina with hl? firm at length. In this letter he stated that he had certain Informa tion with reference to the Richland Distilling case and pointed out the fact that by the cancelation of the contract that a large sum of money had been lost to the state of South Carolina which would have been re covered had the case been left with Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wil son. Now the new commission has asked Mr. Felder to divulge this in formation at a meeting to be heki soon. Those familiar with the prop osition point to the fact that Just this Information was the kind that T. B. Folder was receiving pay for. It Is Just the kind of Information that he used In the recovery of over $400,000 for the stato of South Car olina The new commission has let lit tle be known of what It has done or what It intends to do and to dis cuss the work of the commission Is more speculation. This definite state ment, however, was made that the commlnsion had not engaged a new firm of attorneys to take the place of Anderson, Felder, Roundtree & Wilson, of Atlanta. The commission still has under consideration the question of returning about $21,000 to the Carolina Glass company of Columbia. The commission will also decide as to re-opening the glass company's case which has already been decided by the old commission. Now l'?pfr for Marlon.

SPAIN AFTER MEXICO ? KILLING OF SPANIARDS CAUSE OF FORMAL PROTEST. Assassinated by Rebel Band Because They Refused to Contribute to the Revolutionary Movement. I Spain, through her minister to, Mexico, Bernardo Cologan, Wednes day made formal protest to the for*] elgn office against the asaasBlnation of six subjects of King Alfonso taj Puebla last Monday. Mexico now finds herself In diplomatic contr$*i versarles with three nations, as the result of incidents growing out oi] the revolution. It la' sot believed, However, that: the ttttreroncoa W Spain and Great Britain will prof#! any more serious than a formal ex* change of notes. Minister Cologan demands the, punishment of the slayers Of the Spaniards In Puebla. Minister Ds La Barra has expressed his de8p re grot that such an Incident should have occurred, especially as the vic tims were in no way implicated la the revolution. Six Spaniards were shot and Mlled, Monday at the hacienda Atenc'ngo, in the State of Puebla, by a small band of rebels, following their refus al to contribute 6,000 pesos to the insurgent cau?e.- On account of a former loss of horses and money, from this hacienda, Ange? Diaz Rub Ian, a Spaniard, announced his in tention of demanding an indemnity. The band of rebels on Monday en tered a house where nine employees were assembled. The rebels demand ed money and were refused. They then, attacked the 8pandiards with machetes and drove them from the house, crying out: "Run, for we are going to shoot you." As they ran, six of the Spaniards dropped with bullets In their bodies. The reason assigned by the'rebels for the onslaught 1b that a Spaniard gave Information of their whore-i abouts to the authorities, who had. been hard pressing them. The news of the shooting was received Wednes-' day morning and the Spanish min^ Inter immediately called at the for* elgn office. ?"?

Refusing to Surrender, Mexican Boy Officer and Handful of Men Are Slaughtered. Refusing to surrender or to leave the train on which he and his com mand of thirty soldiers were being carried to the iClty of Mexico, a seoond lieutenant, little more than [a boy, yet engaged In a battle with a force of four hundred rebelB at Cajones, Glllerro. At the conclusion ipf the brief encounter the leutenant and twenty-eight of the soldiers vrero fdead and the remaning two were 'matfa' prisoners. One of the lleu tomrnt'o arme was shot away. / The rebels were under command of Prudenclo Figuro. Learning that troops were being carried on the Cuernavoca division of the National railway, the rebel leader marched to Cajones, some distance from Cuorna vaca. When the train stopped he sent forward a messenger to demand the surrender of the troops and request, if they would not surrender, to abandon the train in order that the lives of tho passengers be not en dangered. Fresh from Aspirantes, a military training school, the boyish officer sent back word that he had IfTs or ders to continue on train. Little time was lost In beginning the fight. The rebels poured down the embank ment on either side of the train and the shooting was begun by both sides. Passengers who had been implor ing the young officer to yield were in a panic. The cries of women and children were heard In the rattle of the rifles and the Bhots from the reb els raked the sides of the train. Many bullets entered the coaches occupied by passengers. Only one, however, did any damage. That one killed Luis Bustamente, a civil engineer, on his way tx> the capital to be marTled. With the blood of their compan ions running from the doorways of the little second class coach, the men ooolly fired into the ranks of their assailants until only two remained. RORRKD AN OLD PARMER. Two Atlanta Plugs Put "Knock Out" - Drop* in His Whiskey. Charles Johns and Charles Stew ^Ulanta, ijottr whiixj uiou uf Taxtrer " unsavory1*- reputations, arer about to pay the penalty for drug ging and robbing a farmer named 3. A. Kent, from the neghborhood of Columbus, whom they got Into their tolls a few weeks ago when he came to Atlanta on business. Kent came to Atlanta with about $4 00 In a roll on tils person. Johns and Stewart found it out and made friends with the farmer. Under col or of hospitality they lured him to the home of Johns where they plied him with whiBkey, put some knock out drops in one of the glasses, ren dered the old man helpless and took his money. It seems, however, that while the whiskey and the dope prevented the old man from making any outcry he was able to hea'r all that went on. He appeared in court and told how the two men first took the whole $4 00 and how then Johns said, "Oh, H ? 1, we can't take all he's got. It would be a shame." So the two thieves magnanimously gave back, put Into the old man's pocket, half of what they had Btolen from him. BAYS THERE IS NO DANGER. Of a War Between tlie United States tho Japanese.

Those who make the wish father to the thought are not in sympathy with the spirit of the times.

' "The United State abhors war with all the horrors and responsibilities that war entails and we also have domentlc problems of our own to work out for the general welfare of the American people."

MAY BEAT THEM Their Vete to the Ltrisur Cue Ceiiiag Seme Seniters Trouble. WITH THE HOME PEOPLE Questions lieing Asked Since Fur ther the Startling Revelations in Investigation by tho Illinois Leg islature, Subsequent to "White washing" Lorimer in tho Senate. Will or will not the United Statos Senate reopen the Lorlmer case, which It thought It had settled at the hut Besslon by admitting "the blind boBs" on tho interesting theory that even if bribery waB proved It was not established that Lorlmer was aware of tho bribery or had any part In It? asked the Washington correspondent of The Nowb and Courier. He goes on to say: The fate of more than Lorlmer de pends upon this question. The mat ter of Lorlmer has become not only a national lesue, but In several cases outside of Illinois a State Issue of vital Importance. A quantity of damaging evidence has been adduc ed since the Senate "whitewashed" Lorlmer, and If this evidence shall seem to the general public to clinch the proposition that Lorlmer's seat was bought, It will go hard with some of the Senators If they adhere to their former attitude and resist reopening the subject of their Illi nois collegue's eligibility or again vote in his favor on the reconsidera tion. Most consplrioua among tho othor Senators whose political future Is envolved in the Lorimer matter is the brilliant and impetuous Mr. Bail ey, of Texas. Senator Bailey has made the statement that if the evi dence appears to warrant reopening the Lorimer case, ho will not oppose such action, and that if, on examina tion, the evidenco appears to prove that the seat was purchased, he (Mr. Bailey) will vote to unseat. But it Is the history of Senator Bailey's career that he is unalterably tena cious of an opinion once formed, and that he rarely, if ever, "takes the bao"k track." It is said that in Tex as his course in defending Lorimer damaged him more than anything in his record up to that time. The peo ple of Texas acknowledge Mr. Bail ey's great ability and most of them -frflxa been proud of the Btand he has ?>??* intellectual of the country; but there is no doubt that they are in a mood to weigh him finally in th? balance with regard to this Lorimer business. Representative Randeli, of Texas, Is a candidate for the Beat now oc cupied by Mr. Bailey in the Senate. It will be decided by the Democrats of the Lone Star State this summer whether the brilliant "Joe" shall re main in tho Senate or return to pri vate life ? in which, by the way, he could make much more than the large sum of money he already makes in tho practice of his profession, the law. In Intellectual calibre Randeli nowhere approaches Bailey. It has been one of tho Btrlklng facts in the latter's political life that he has rare ly encoutered an opponent who came anywhere near being his equal in the gift of approaching and impress ing the public. Mr. Brynn tried a little catch-as catch-can with Bailey by going Into Texas and making speeches against his renomination the last time, at a time when the Texan was in desper ate political straits. But even tho el oquence of the Nebraskan failed to turn tho tide. It Is predlctod by thoso who know the situation In Texas that there is no chance for Mr. Randell to get Mr. Ralley'B seat unloHB the Senator, with the headstrong tendency whtch has alwaye characterized him, should aj?atn become tangled up in the IvOr lmer affair on the wrong side. In that event It is probable that nothing could save the Junior Senator from the violent disgust Of Texas public sentiment. The friends of Mr. Bail ey assert that his attitude on tho tar Iff does not hurt him In his own State; that ho has stood against the free-raw-matorial tide before with success and can do it again. Hut another I^orimer performance would probably bo his laBt. The American public, has made up its mind about tho Lorimor case, and Is of the name opinion more and more as tho dayB go by. Senator Paynter, of Kentucky, In another Southern Democrat Senator who Is encountering the Antl-Lorl itfer 'public sentiment. Mr. Paynter In opposed for ronominatlon by Rep resentative Ollle James, the giant leader of the uncompromising school of Democrat#!
