The citizens are fraternizing with the

the initiative of the revolut^onarv

the Sixteenth regiment of infantry,

ALL OTHER COUNTRIES IN LEO-

Russia is fat behind other civil
ized countries of 111" world in the
matter of decreasing the number of
death sentences, according to statis
tics given to the international Prison
congress at its session Thursday by
Dr. Frederick II Wines, of Philadel
phia.
"In no country does the frequency
and enormous numoci of executions
excite such horroY ;rs in Russia,
said Dr Wines Nowhere else is
there waged so determined and un
ceasing war against the employment
of capital punishment for the sup
pression of crime This is more wor
thy of remark in view of the fact
that the penal code limits the appli
cation to political offender.- And
yet, in virtue of the system, by
which offenses not political can be
punished by martial law, even in
time of peace, the number of exe
cutions is truly extraordinary.
‘The official statistics show tiiat
iu 1 9 u ti -1 9 " k, ] n 8 persons were le
gally executed. So at lea-t it is
stated, in one of the manuscripts
placed in my hands. In another,
the number of military executions
in J4 years from 1 87 4 to 190s is
given as 2,t>7X of whom I" per cent
only were in the army. 2.4 1" of
them were civilians; and 2.4ho were
punished for infraction of the com
mon law."
Dr Wines gave an interesting r**-
port on otlurr countries, but explain
ed that statistics of homicide f'»r lie

local and iniei urban rleeti b railvvay
system, who is just back fiom a trip

timistic statement regarding tb« fu-

Mr Jackson says that the wealthy

attcnGon toward the'. South and cot
ton growing one one New Y'otkei has
re ♦‘tilv purchased abut 4b.Out* acre*
ol Georgia land on which to grow

Mr Jackson aa.v.s that he has talk
ed with a large number c.f financiers
in New York and tfi’ey agree that the
South is the coining portion of tlie
country and they have turned their
attention to this section
Tlie West wa- overated. aiiotxF-
Ing to the statements of leading im n
in New York, and the South will de
velop in the ueai future iu greater
proportions and much more, rapidly
than did the West.
Mr. Jacksti says that the belief in

eral belief seems to lift that 20 cents
will soon be reached and one promi
nent New Yorker says that My and

JHioyiitt who own Southern land*
have fortune* in their verv hand*,
said Mi lark son, and cotton will *o
tapidly enhance in value iu tlie near
future that the lands will be more
valuable than ever before;.
I understand that the average
number of bushels of wheat that can
be produced tier ai re in tlie West
is I J, and 'he price of one dollui

The Noil hern people are begin-
mng to realize more and more what

the production of cotton is going to
