BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-The suggestion made last week by Mr. R. H. Edmonds of this city that the South, which had an abundant coro crop last year, should ship a fali train toad of corn and meal to the farmors of Nebraska, who are suffering because of the short? age of the corn crop, bas met with a very quick response throughout the 3Ir. Edmonds telegraphed to the Gov eouDtry. In iuguratiog this movement ernor of Nebraska as follows : "Io view of the distress reported among some of the farmers of Nebraska by reason of the short corn crop, and in view of the abundant crops of the South, I have suggested the desirabili? ty of the people of the South uniting to send at least a train load of corn and provisions to Nebraska for distri? bution to those who are io want. I did not mean to intimate in making this suggestion that the people of Ne? braska are net able to care for those who are in want in their own State, bat it seemed to me thar the time was opportune for the South to utilize such an opportunity as this to show to the world Nits appreciation of the blessings it has received in an abundaut crop j last year, its anpreciation of the liber-1 ality with which the North and West 3Av.q ever met every call from the Sooth for help in time of need, and also an appropriate occasion io which to pot into effect forces that would help to noite our entire couDtrj oblit? erate all sectional lines and show that we are one people. As a Southern mao, and yet above and beyond that, an American, I Relieve this effort of the Sooth in exteuding relief to the West ? woold prove the troth 'that it is more j blessed to give than to receive.' "I have reqoested Governor Northen of Georgia, and he has consented to take charge of the matter and to gather in Atlanta,' whatever contributions may be offered for the parp?se of mak? ing op this train load to be shipped West." In response to this telegram. Govern? or Grounze of Nebraska, wired Mr. Edmonds that the proposed donation will be thankfully received, and that on behalf of those for whom this gen . * eroros contribution is intended, he de? sired lo express his appreciation and also of the motive prompting the sug? gestion of sueh a contribution from the Sooth. Tbe movement has been taken hold of actively in the Sooth. All Southern railroads have wired their willingness to bandle contributions free. The Georgia Soothern and Florida and the Seaboard Air Lice have each wired offering in addition to carrying, shipments free, to contribute a carload of material, and active preparations are being made for getting tegether enough to fill at least a sold train. Vice Presi? dent Baldwin of the Soothern Railway wired Mr. Edmonds yesterday that President Spencer bas authorized ali tbe agents of tbe line to accept contri? butions and has arranged to give the ose of one of the freight depots in At? lanta for consolidating all shipments there. In a letter received yesterday, Gover? nor Northen states that be thinks he will be able to secure a least half a dozen carloads of goods from Geargia alooe. The work of organization io other parts of the South is proceeding as rapidly as possible. One of the first telegrams received in response to the Saggestion was from Hon Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, who said : "I cordially commend yonr plao for sending corn and meat to Western Nebraska. Southern farmers have rais? ed more of both this year than their j section will need. I hope your sag gestion may be executed." This movement, inaugurated in Baltimore, bas attracted universal at? tention, oot simply as an illustration of the fact that the Sooth this year bas been able by reason of its immense production of coro and meat to con? tribute liberally to the needs of those j who are sufferiog because of the great drouth in Nebraska, bot as a kindly expression of the friendly interest that j is aniti?g all parts of the country aud obliterating the sectional lines that sc f long separated the South and the West.

One reason why Dr. Conan Doyle liked America so thoroughly is found j in the fact that his nine weeks here ! netted him about ?12,000.

Japan distrusts China's overtures for peace. While China is making nomi? nal efforts looking to peace negotiations, she is buying war ships and war mate riala wherever they are to be bad She has recently bought ships of the Chilean navy, and her agents are now in Ger? many endeavoring to enlist the services of German officers for both navy and army. Japan thinks China is only trying to gain time ; hence the Japanese will continue their campaign without relaxation uatil something tangible towards peace has* been effected. Say! You Bee-Keeper!
