Southern Corn for Suffering
Nebraska.
A Timely Movement in Aid
of the Western Farmers.
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.

A notable wedding at Washington
last week was that of Miss Annie
Grace Lippincott, daughter of the
authoress, "Grace Greenwood,*' and
Mr. Herbert Hail Winslow, the talented
American dramatist.
The most notable banquet speech
that, has been made in this country in
many a day was that of Henry Waiter

New York a few days ago. Henry
simply distanced all the rest of the ?

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.
