Surely thc mellenniuru ?8 uear at hand. Vox thc lirst time in iifty year? thc Democratic party last week elect ed their candidates for Mayor in sev eral cities in thc State of Maine. If Conipti'ollcr (iencral Jones en forces the law penalizing corporations failing or refusing to make returns and pay thc license tax, there is lots of trouble ahead for thc small corpora tions in South Carolina. There are just now seven men under sentence of death in this State, with the strong probability that four of these will bo hanged within thc next few months. Four out of thc seven aro white men, aDd two of those arc men of means aud influence. California senators accused of ac cepting bribes have been expelled from thc legislature of that State. For some occult reason or other, thc way of the transgressor is unusually hard this season. Maybe thc public conscience is rousing from it.s apathy. It begins to look that way. -m m - An official proclamation has been issued by General Stephen D. Lee, commander-in-chief of tho United Confederate Veterans, paying unstint ed praise and tribute to Congress for passing thc battle flag return meas ure, and to J'resident Roosevelt foi his prompt signature, (jencrai Lee urges upon all parties, North and South, who have colors in their pos session to return them at ouce to thc State capitols.

Io tbi meantime, however, tho Goveruo stands ready to make appointments and people interested will do well ti Jake the matter up with their respec live county delegations.

The In telligencer falls into line and givei them c little itself. By all means eui down the cotton aoreuge this year Don't simply resolve to ont it dowi and then go off and plant more thar ever on the theory that your neighbor! are going to cut their acreage and you might ac well plant a little more. Don't simply resolve, but also do. li the farmers will out down the cotton acreage and produce a smaller cror they will get more r/ oney for it and it will be raised at leis ezpenne, The farmer is more than likely to have trouble securing labor this year. The high price paid for labor last y ear can not be paid this year. That is a well established faot and the laborers will find it out. Many of ?hem will not want to work at thc figures that will prevail this year. Many of them will not work at the figures. The farmer will have fewer laborers and tho city will have mora idlers. Therefore there ia no use in planting so muoh cotton, . for tho labor will not be forthcoming . tn/ cultivate tho crop.

St. Petersburg, March 20.-While Emperor Nicholas, whoso word is final. ?till declines to abandon the prosecu tion ot tin; war, and tho Government maintains itu ability to continue tho conflict, th?; Associated Press is in u position to state that powerful influ ences, including several of tho Em peror's own ministers, ar? now strong ly urging that tho t imo has come to in dicate to Japan Russia's desire for peuce upon a reasonable basis. .Should Japan then attempt to impose too ou vrons conditions, these influences argue that in view ot tho universal wish to sei- tho bloody conflict ended Russia's position will bo strengthened abroad by the alienation of sympathy from Japan and tho situation at borne im proved when tho nation is made to understand that thu Emperor's pacilic proposals have been met with impos able terms. Uno o? tlio Emperor's ministers in a conversation wi tn the Associated Press saiii: "Wo have Buttered bitter defeat on land ami pea. Wc can, however, still continuo the war. lint both countries have suffered great losses in blood and treasure, and it would only profit tito rivals of both were wo to fight on until ono or tin; other is exhausted. Russia lias allard task fighting thowaragainst Buch adversaries, 0,000 miles from home, and 1 contend she can make a dignified peace, without glory, but not without honor. Ag tho victor on land and sea, Japan can afford to remember, as Bismarck ?lid at the conclusion of tho Austro-Prussian war, that two coun tries which must live through tho long future as neighbors may need each other's friendship, Japan may consider tho time propitious, on account of tho situation in European Russia, to try and crush us. Suppose, for the sake of argument, she succeeded in finally forcing a humiliating peace, it could not bo moro than an armed truce. Rus sia is too big und powerful to retire permanently from tho field. The clouds at home eventually will roll away; With tho urmy nnd navy reorganized, in live, ten, or fifteen years there will como inevitably our revenge. No permanent peace is possible now or later unless Japan ?B reasonable.'' To the suggestion of the possibility of an alliance between Russia and Japan, tho minister said: "A reasonable peace mur,t first bo es tablished."' "What," was asked, "would bo rea , sonable/' "Jhoadly speaking, Kassia's renun ? elation of her entire Manchurian policj should satisfy Japan's claims. Shi could have her protectorate over Ko rea, such privileges on tho Kwantung , peninsula ami at Port Arthur as tl" rowers would not oppose, anti tilt Chinese K?steln Railway bo placet under international control, Rusait ? maintaining ber rights to a railway , iiii-3 through Northern Maucnuria tc Vladivostok." i "What would bo Russia's attitude or t tho subject of indemnity?" "Russia never yet has paid indem nity, nnd history practically affords m 5 precedent for indemnity when terri tory is not occupied to insure payment 5 and Japan holds not a foot ot RUBB?UI - territory. Japan could, however, tnki tho proceeds of tho palo of the property and rigbtBof tho Chinese Eastern Rail I way, which was built with Ruasiat t. lunney." Proceeding, tho minister said tin i diilieullieB of continuing tho war wore x tully appreciated, both from u military and a finaucial standpoint, but neithe: r was insurmountable. Ho denied em ) phatically that the negotiations for i I French loan were adjourned becuusi 1 Russia would not ma'/.e peace. He ex Ecoted that these negotiations woult e resumed soon. The BUCCCSB of th? internal loan, first aunouncud by th? Associated Press Satin day, tho minis 7 ter said, is assured. As tor the quos l tion of a new army, mach depeodet upon tho exact situation when Gen i Ltnevitch got tho army out of dan 5 ger. The minister said further that "com t plete details of Gen. Kuropatkiu'i f losses have not yet reached tue Gov eminent; but it IB already known tba 3 the Japanese reports are greatly exag 3 gerated. The reports that sixty Bieg? , guns and many hundred cars wen * left benind is false, aa practically nt , siege guns or roil i i,g stock fell into tin . bauds of the Japanese.

Brockton, Mass., March 20.-Thia city ia in mom muir tonight tor ut least three?score people whose lives wore blotted out early today by the explo sion ot ii boiler "in n large shoe manu facturing establishment in the ("am pollo district, conducted by tho ll. li. Grover company. The explosion waa immediately fol lowed by a Hash ot' Hame, which con surued the factory, a loriK. four-story structure, na it it were a house of carda, and incinerated an unknown number of ni'-n and women who were unable to extricate themselves trom a mans of tangled wreckage formed by the terri lle upheaval in the boiler room. More than half a hundred of the employes in the building were maimed, burned or bruised by the time they reached safe ground. ?Some had jumped from the roof, some from windows and oth ers had been injured in the Lind rush to eacape from the doomed factory, which from all parts emitted thc in tense, awful heat of an inferno, driv ing back the band of heroic rescuers who in a few brief momenta had per formed gallant service. It may never be known just how many persons perished in the wreck age. No one knows exactly how many persons were in the factory. The number has been estimated at -100, but Treasurer Charles o. Emerson Baid to night he doubted whether there were so many at work. Two hundred and fifty survivors have been accounted I tor and at midnight tonight the re mains of 50 bodies had been recovered | .vrom the ruina, the search being con- | tiuued all night. Fragments of hu man frames which possibly might be long to bodies other than those enu merated have also been found. Few of tl e remains have been identified. The bead in nearly every case is mia - mg and except in rare iustaucea it was impossible even to distinguish the sex. Chief of Police Boydon at a late hour to-night, expressed the opinion that some of the employees had not reached the factory at the time of the explo sion and that undoubtedly a number of those living in nearby places were injured and hat; gone home withont reporting their injuries. Ho thought that many of those not accounted tor, upwards of 1(H) in number, were among these. An inspection of the wrecked boiler by tho ?State boiler ?inspector Bhowed that there was a auflloient supply of water in it. The cause of tho explo sion is at present a mystery. The dis aster will be further investigated b3r the State authorities. The explosion occurred shortly after the operatives had settled down to Wuik tor tho ?lay, and without warn ) ing. Suddenly tho air vibrated with I the roar of an explosion. At tho same i moment the larger wooden frame of Hie factory, a four-story structure, quivered and then the rear portion of it collapsed., In a fraction of a second this section of the great building had been transformed into a mass of iron and wood wreckage, in the midst of which human beings were pinioned. In another moment tire had broken out iu the debris and denth by fire and suffocation became the fate of scores of tho operatives. When the boiler exploded it passed upward almoBt perpendicularly, tear iug a passage as it went, killing many on the way. After rising high in the ?3 air, it descended half the distance and 3 then swerving northerly, cut its way f like some huge projectile through a r dwelling house 50 feet away and pier ced another dwelling further along, * I demolishing the latter structure. Here ?J I its course waa stopped. Warning. AU persons are hereby warned not to harbor or hire my oon, Henry Agnew, for he ls under age and has left home without a cause.
