Russian Battleships Cannot
Make Repairs at Manila.
REQUEST TURNED DOWN
PvrmtwJon Granted by Admiral Train
*• Raaelnded by Secretary Taft
on Order of President
L Rodsevelt.
• A Washington special says: Admi
ral Enqulst will not. be allowed to re
pair his ships at Manila. This gov-
ornment has decided that as the in
juries to the vessels were not caused
wither by sea or storm, they wiH be
obliged to refuse permission for the
▼easels to be repaired there. Monday
Secretary Taft cabled the following
Instructions to Governor Wright at
Manila regarding the ships:
“Tiine cannot be given for the re
pair of the injuries received in battle.
Therefore, the vessels cannot be re
paired unless interned until the end
of hostilities.”
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It was stated by Secre
tary Taft that if the Russian vessels
agreed to leave Manila in their pres
oot condition they were welcome to
do so, but as it did not appear that
they suffered from any damage caused
hy sea or storm, this government* was
obliged to take the position above
outlined.
The President’s Decision.
The president’s decision regarding
the disposition of the Russian vessels
*t Manila, that they shall interne or
put to sea is, It is said, in Wash
ington, in accordance with the best
naval opinion, and is in pursuit of the
policy of strict neutrality followed by
the Washington government from th^
beginning of the war. It is specifical
ly declared that there Is no intention
to show the slightest favoritism In the
matter and everything possible will
be done for the comfort of the wound
ed Russians.* The ships when intern
ed will, of course, be allowed to be'
put in a habitable condition, and such
repairs, as ere necessary to keep them
afloat will be allowed.
The decision of the president was
announced after conference vMth Sec
retaries Morton and Taft. Rear Admi-
.nal Converse, chief of the bureau of
navigation, personally took charge of

Strike Leader Again Arrested at Chi

Conspiracy Charged.
Cornelius H. Shea, president of the

two months, was once more arrested
and taken to Jail Monday night. Wltli
him on the journey from the saloon

Oa the truck drivers’ union. Both men
were taken into custody on capiases
issued on indictments charging them
with conspiracy, which were voted by
the grand jury that adjourned Satur
day night.
When arrested Shea lost his tem
per completely and denounced th<»
sheriff and all his works in emphatic
language. He was told by the sheriff
that he would be given all neressary
time to procure bondsmen, but that
he would be taken to Jail at once un
less he moderated his manner of
talking.
Shea again broke into violent lah-
guag^u'w' the sheriff, turning to Dep
uties Honan and Wilson, commanded
them to take Shea to jail immedi

The annual report of the Georgia

tags for 177,995.5 tons more of guano
and cotton seed meal than was really
used by the farmers of Georgia. In

too quickly into the hall, and from wihich were never used, indicating
there to the street, where they hailed
a cab and conveyed him to jail. Pres
ident McGee followed in another cab,
and in a few minutes the men were

according ;o the usual custom, by Jail

After being in prison for a littlo

Uncle Sam ia Showing the Natives
Modern Methods of Agriculture.
George E. Newsom, a former M7is-
"Vfssipp.an, who is notv assistant di
rector of agriculture In the Philip
pines, states that the United State*
government has under cultivation in
these Islands seven farms, each from
1,000 to 2,000 acres in extent, and
twenty-five Americans and 500 natives
are being used in the effort to show
the Filipinos the modern methods of
agriculture.
Mr. Newsom states that the na
tives are taking kindly to the Im
proved machinery used In farming, but
the steam roller, self-binder and
thresher w’ere such a big jump from
the bolp, flail and mortar that for
quite a while the natives were very
much frightened with the new devices.
A special from Portland, Oregon,
says: With the touch of a Tiand upon

ident Roosevelt, from the white, In
Washington, Thursday, gave Tue sig

nlal Exposition, a monument to the
memories of Captain Merriwether
Lewis and William Clark, tTie plop
neers who, 100 years ago, blazed the
trail which opened up to the world
the .’’Old Oregon country.”
A more auspicious day for the open
ing of ttri exposition could not have
been desired.
The exercises which preceded ttV
formal opening, were of extraordinary
excellence. The speakers were Vice
PresTuent FaTToanks, Speaker Josepu
G. Cannon of the house of representa
tives, Senator Clark of Wyoming, Con
gressman Tawney of Minnesota, H. W.
Taylor, assistant secretary of * the
treasury department, Governor Cham
berlain of Oregon and Mayor WlTHnms
of Vortland.
When President Goode-of the Lew
is and Clark Exposition took fils po
sition on the speaker’s stand to an
nounce that the ceremonies were
about to commence, he was greeted
with terrific applause from tens Ot
thousands of people.
The program was carried out with
but ifcw changes in the original idea.
A feature .which was looked forward
to with gveat expectancy, tffe play
ing of ‘‘Amerioa,” upon the dhl nlng
hells in the government building, was
unavoidably omitted, the electrica’ ap

TORNADO SWEEPS MICHIGAN. NICHOLAS INVOKES REVOLUTION.
President Roosevelt has made a
decided move for peace in the Far
East. In a conference at the white
house Friday afternoon with Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, the
president expressed the earnest hope
that Russia would forthwith conclude
peace with Japan. Prolongation of the
war, he believes, will not result in
victory for the Russian arms, and can
only serve to increase Japan’s de
mands, and render more difftcult the
drafting of a treaty of peace which
the czar, as well as the mikado, can
sign. The president spoke, he said,
as the friend of Russia no less than of
Japan, and on behalf not only of ttn»
Washington government, but In the
interest of humanity.
The president informed the ambas
sador that in expressing hope for an
early peace he voiced not only his
strongly personal sentiments and those
of his government, but he believed
these were held by all of the powers.
His opinion was that it would be a
mistake for Russia to continue tfte
war. In addition to the suffering en
tailed by the naval conflict he did not
believe that Russia has anything to
win in prolonging hostilities. The
president did not enter into details,
but the personal character of the con
versation and his long acquaintance
with Count Cassini enabled him to
talk plainly regarding the decisive
character of the Japanese victories.
What Japan’s probable peace terms
will be, the president was wholly un
able to say, but he did not hesitate to
express the opinion that difficult as
these conditions might prove in the
light of such a victory as that gained
in the Korean straits, they would in
crease in severity with every day that
s state of war continued.
Having received no word from his
government since the annihilation of
Rojestvensky’s fleet, save to the brief
official dispatches telling of the en
gagement, Count Cassini was unable
to do more than to give the presi
dent his own personal opinions on
the situation. The ambassador was>
deeply -touched by the sincere cordial
ity of his reception and the frank and
friendly manner in which the presi
dent spoke. .Ho could not see, how
ever, that there was anything In the

le ambassador’s firm, opln-
it In which to discuss peace
'whatever might be. the
[ecision of his government,
[e ground that Russia could
ig either by waiting or by
[g the war on land.
There was hope yet of a victory for
the Russian arms, it was suggested,
and, in any event, Russia had not yet
lost one foot of territory, nor was
the Russian frontier endangered.
The ambassador pointed out that
there was not the slightest official in
timation from any source as to Ja
pan’s probable terms and that those
demands as stated unofficially were
“altogether impossible.” If Japan’s
terms should prove anything like se
vere as they have been reported, it
was the ambassador’s opinion that
Russia could advantageously continue
the war indefinitely, and eventually
win a victory on land. That his gov
ernment would so decide he did not
wish to predict, but, at last accounts,
the emperor was for a continuation
of the war.

Touriat Arrivals in Charleston.
The figures of the tourist arrivals
in Charleston have been made up, and
they show a total of more than 16,000
people who visited the city during the
several months of travel. This Is the
largest number that has ever come I
to Charleston during one season, and ‘
it augurs well for Charleston becoming
a regular tourist visiting point for
which a movement has been on for
several years.
Arsenic In State Prison Food.
As the result of a chemical exami
nation State Chemist Burney has
found arsenic in the remnants of a
cabbage dinner which was given to
the prisoners in the state prison re
cently, and which made over one hun
dred of them ill, while Superintend
ent of the Prison Griffitth discovered
traces of paris green on the window
sill of the kitchen. The men are now
out of danger. Suspicion points
strongly to one of the convicts as
having poisoned the food.
Coast Line Safe Robbed.
The safe in the freight depot of
the Atlantic Coast Line at Bennetts-
vllle was robbed a few nights ago of
$208.50 in cafch and $572.26 in checks.
Two other packages containing $50
were not disturbed. A transom over
the door was broken, but it is the
general opinion that a man could not
have entered there.
Night Watchman Henry W-ebster re
ported the robbery and left, for Che-
raw. Later Agent Cooper "went to

being investigated.
