LYNCHERS NOT INDICTED. Find No Franklin County Jury Could Evidence. Atlanta, Oct. 12.—The presentments of the Franklin county grand jury contain an extensive report of the in vestigation into the lynching of the negro John Ware, made with the view of indicting the lynchers, as recom mended by Judge Russell in his charge to the grand jury. Solicitor C. H. Band, of the western circuit, took a very active part in the investigations and in cross examining the witnesses summoned to appear be fore the grand jury. His best efforts, however, and those ol the members of the grand jury, were unavailing since no evidence was adduced on which to issue an indictment. One of Many. H. A. Tisdale, of Summerton, S.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 12.—The battle below Mukden continues to rage along the entire front and according to Gen eral Kuropatkin’s latest advices sent last night, after the fighting of the day had ended the Japanese were stubbornly holding their own, offer ing a desperate resistance, and had even advanced their positions. After an all day fight above Yentai, where the Russians sustained their first check, the Japanese still held that po sition. The infantry practically was not engaged, the artillery bearing the brunt of the fighting. The Japa nese stuck to their guns and the Rus sian batteries were unable to dislodge them. According to the advices received by the war office here the Japanese hold entrenched lines extending in a semi-circle north of Yentai railroad station, erroneously reported to have been captured by the Russians. Thence they have a series of arcs covering the Yentai branch railroad, Including the mines, whence their lines sweep south eastward toward the Taitse river, thus enclosing the mountainous region, forming the triangle of their main po sitions. General Kuropatkin’s right seemingly is carrying out a flank movement eastward as reported by the correspondent of the Associated Press at Shanplntaldze, but whether it is intended to push it home or whether it is only a feint to cover an ultimate attack against Field Marshal Oyama’s left, has not yet developed. The lat ter view is held by many officers here who believe that Kuropatkin’s purpose is to crumple up the Japa nese left, push them off eastward from the railroad and then, if he can carry the Japanese triangle, compel them to retire in the direction of the Yalu river, thus clearing the way to Liao Yang for possession of the railroad southward and possibly enabling Ku* ropatkin to relieve Port Arthur, which It Is announced in the Russian gen eral’s order of the day, is his main objective. Still the best informed members of the general staff are In clined to think that strategy of the battle must depend on the manner in which the engagement develops. It is pointed out that In the event of defeat, which Kuropatkin must con stantly bear in mind, since the Japa nese general will doubtless try to push through straight to Tie Pass, It will be necessary for him to keep his heaviest battalions cast. The story cabled from Shanghai to the London Daily Telegraph by Ben nett that Oyama will be recalled and that General Nodzu will be made com mander in chief of the Japanese forces, attracts lively interest in the military circles here. It is now Known that General Nodzu’s action at the battle of Liao Yang in pressing a por tion of his army across the Taitse riv er to co-operate with General Kuro- ki, thus increasing the strength ol the Japanese flanking force and threat ening Kuropatkin’s communications, made it impossible for the Russian Vice Presidential Candidate Speaks at D^sMoines, Iowa. Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 12.—After , his meeting at Marshalltown last night Senator Fairbanks came into Dos Moines and he made a brief speech from the rear end of his private car before resuming his journey this morning. There was I. fair sized crowd and the senator spoke about 15 minutes. He was introduced by Gov ernor Cummins, and said: “I was not aware that I was to make a speech so early. However, I am not disconcerted by (that fact. I went to bed last night discussing Re publican policies and there is no rea son why I should not take up the dis cussion as soon as I get out in the morning, for Republican principles do not change over night.’’ He then congratulated Iowa on her prosperity and her adherence to Re publican principles, attributing the one largely to the other. He told the Democrats that Republican policies are as good for the masses they are for Republicans. “Like this blessed sun shine,” he said, "they benefit all aUke.” While he was talking a train came in and disturbed the meeting for a few moments, calling from the sen ator the remark: “That Is a good Republican argu ment. In 1896 we could hold meetings on the railroad tracks almost without being disturbed.” The senator was liberally applauded WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, HAS DISASTROUS FIRE LOCAL TAXES FOR SCHOOLS.

Lord High Commissioner Resigns on Account of Poor Health. london, Oct. 12.—Lord Milner has resigned the high commissioners hip of South Africa on account of ill- health brought about by the prolonged strain in grappling with the situation, which is daily becoming more diffl cult, owing to ths financial and racial troubles of the country. Lord Milner had twice previously re signed, but was Induced to reconsider hie decision, which bow Is irrevocable. Lord Milner comes home at Christmas and after consultation with him his successor will be appointed. Colonel Sir Edward Ward, perma nent under secretary of state for the war office, and formerly director of the supplies of the South African field force, is considered likely to get the appointment. Sir Edward has great administrative ability and is wholly disconnected wlfh the past political history of South Africa, so his appointment would not engender antagonism, which might be aroused by the nomination of a better known politician. Fire Is Under Control. Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 12.—In two hours last night two of the most im portant business blocks in this city were destroyed by fire, enlailing a loss estimated at nearly a million dol lars.

This result in favor of the local school taxation amendment will be re ceived with rejoicing throughout the state, particularly by the many advo cates of public education, by many of whom a hard campaign was waged in favor of the amendment. State School Commissioner Merritt did some hard \vork in behalf of this amendment, backed as he was by an able campaign committee, and the result will be a source of profound gratification to those who so strenuously interested themselves in its behalf, APPOINTED RECEIVER.
