The governor ordered Col J D Sparkman* the fearless commander of the cavalry regiment, to at once muster alt available troops necessary.

Lord Roberts Promoted London, Sept 30.-It is officially announced that Lord Roberts bas beau appoioted commander in chief of the British army Although the fact that the appoint meot bad been made was already known, the formal announcement is bailed by tbe Unionist party a? a welcome pledge that army reorganiza lion will be carried out io the most effective manner lt was beginning to be recognized that something was needed to give strength to the Unionist campaign Accordingly semi-official announcements are out that Mr George Wyndham, parliamentary under secretary of state for war, in his speeoh at Derby tomor row eVeoicg will cutline the govern? ment's scheme of army reforms and that the war offioe is arraogiog with Lord Roberts for tbe return of a large portion of the army in South Africa London, Sept 29.-Great Britain bas sent a note to the Dutch government, according to a dispatch from Amster? dam to The Daily Mail, wbioh contains a warning that if Mr. Kruger is allowed 50 carry bullion or state archives on board the Dutch warship wbiob is to bring bim to Europe it will be regarded as a breach of neutrality on the part ol the Netherlands Nagasaki, Japan, Sept 29 -The Norwegian Steamer Calanda and the Japanese steamer Ise Maru are reported to have been in collision off Iwo Shima. The Colanda was sunk and 54 ?im ?iiiiofun nni mi iran rirnm I PRINCE TUAN I IS DEGRADED. ! I _ I Washington, Sept 29.-important j news came from China at the end of the day, which in itself tends to adrance materially ^ie efforts for a final settlement. China has accepted the suggestions of the United States contained in the answer to the Ger? man proposition and bas began vol? untarily the punishment of the j reactionary Chinese leaders who ? were responsible for the Pekin out j rages. I The department of state was in j formed by Consul General Goodnow, ! at Shanghai, that Sbeng, Chinese J director of railways and telegraphs, ] has banded bim a decree of the emperor and empress dated at Taiguan Sept 25, blaming their ministers lor encouraging the Boxers The edict orders the degradation of four princes and deprives Prince Tuan of bis salary and official ser? vants. He is to be brought for trial before the imperial clan court It will be recalled that in our answer the state department was careful to state that while it did not believe in demanding the surrender of the Chinese ringleaders as a con dition precedent to negotiations, it was resolved firmly as Secretary Hay had said in his note of July 3, that in the end the guilty parties 6bould be held to the uttermost accountabil? ity The Chinese government bas taken this intimation to heart and perhaps hastened its action by the recent manifestations of dissatisfac? tion by the United States govern ment at the report of the promotion of Prince Tuan, already bas been begun the punishment of bim and the other Chinese leaders who are held guilty The decree recited by Sheng ?s felt to be of the utmost importance as indicating a complete change of heart on the part of the reigning dynasty. It means that the reac tionary influences which have been dominant in Pekin throughout the uprising and have been continued of late, have suffered a complete over ^throw, and that their most conspicu? ous figures are on trial. It is be? lieved here that if this action is gen? uine, it will be hard for any of the powers to find a reasonable pretext for longer refusing to heed the appeals of the Chinese government for the opening of negotiations look? ing to a settlement The importance of the action if; shown by the determination to try Prince Tuan before the imperial clan court. This is the supreme judicial tribunal of China and is the only one having jurisdiction over the mern hers of the imperial family It is presided over by Prince Li, with the well known Prince Ching as first vice president The attitude of Prince Ching has been notable through the trouble as friendly to foreign interests There are five ; other members of the court, all of i them high personages They occu j py a building at Pekin and are in regular session for the trial of cases affecting members of the nobility and the highest personages. Chi nese officials here say that the reference of the case to this high court is of itself the fullest assur? ance of the gravity with which the throne regards the matter It is noted also that even before the trial Prince Tuan is stripped of his sal? ary and official servants Being a mau of large and independent means the loss of salary would not amount to much if it were not ?hat this and the loss of the servants is a special means of humiliation. The name of the four princes who have been de? graded are not known here either by j the state department orw by the I Chinese legation The action of the Chinese govern? ment in overthrowing the reaction aries is likely to give the most intense gratification to the friendly viceroys of the south of China and to the ministers here, in London and j in Europe, who have so strenuously j resisted the Boxer movement It j may be specially noted that only j today Minister Wu received informa tion that these viceroys, including Li Hung Chang, had memoralized tho throne to punish the very element which has now been overcome. The Storm Sufferers. j Austin, Tex , Sept 30 -Regard i ing the contributions for the Galves j ton flood sufferers, Gov Sayers today j made the following statement : "The amount of money received ! by me up to 12 o'clock noon Sunday I is $672,470' 29 This sum include? i $3,892 59 that remained in my handf of the fund contributed for the reliel of the Brazos river valley sufferers last year.

Aa Advance of IO Per Cent in Wages is Promised Philadelphia, Sept 30.-An offer of an increase of IO per cent, in miners' wages was made foday by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, and thia move, it is said, will be followed on Tues? day by similar notices at every col? liery in the anthracite region. The Philadelphia and Reading com? pany operates 39 collieries and of these 27 have been shut down owing to the insufficient working force. Indications are that the men will stand by their organization and stay away from the mines. Philadelphia, Sept. 30.-The fol? lowing notice bearing date of Octo? ber 1, was posted today in the vicin? ity of all the collieries of the Phila? delphia and Reading Coal and Iron company in the anthracite region : Philadelphia and Reading Iron and Coal Co , October 1st This company will pay an advance of 10 per cent on the wages of all men and boys employed at its col? lieries. This advance takes effect today. R C. Luther, General Superintendent. Beneath this notice another was posted which read as follows : Fellow Mine Workers-United Mine Workers of America : Do not pay any attention to this notice posted by Mr. Luther of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, but wait until you hear from Presideut Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America, or until you have decided by your own locals what is right for yon to do. C. B Potter Mr. Potter is an officer in the dis? trict branch of the United Mine Workers of America. The regular Reading company advance for the last half of September and the first half of October had previously been fixed at 6 per cent above the $2.50 basis. The scale for the preceding thirty days was at the $2.50 basis The advance of 10 per cent offered ia the posted notice by the Reading company is separate and distinct from the natural scale increase and hence the total increase to the min ers would be 16 per cent.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept 29 - The motion for a new trial io the case of James Howard was overruled by Judge Cantrill today and Howard was sen? tenced to bang Deo 7. It was agreed that the attorneys should be allowed to file their bill of exceptions in the appeal to tbe court of appeals any time between now and the third week in October. Howard did not weaken or appear agitated when rbe solemn sentence of tbe ooart consigning bim to the gallows was pronounced upon bim, but io answer to the asuai questions of the court if he could show oause why sen? tence should not be pronounced, be said in a firm, clear voioe : "I arn in? nocent." He stood erect, facing the court and listening i o tent ?y to every word uttered by the judge, who was visibly affected by the solemnity of tbe occasion aod spoke in a voice choked with emotion In overruling Howard's motion for a new trial which ^occurred only a few moments before sentence was pronounc? ed the court said he did not consider any of the matters set up in the defense as sufficient to oause a new trial. The affidavits of the defense at? tacking tbe qualifications of several of the jurors bad beeo fully offset by counter affidavits filed by the proseen tioo But as to the admission of one piece of testimony the court was io great doubt as to whether the defend? ant's right bad not been prejudiced, although tbe ruling admitting it was in accordance with decisions of the court of appeals. Tbe testimony in question was as to a conversation between Heory Youtsey and W. H. Calton, alleged 'oo conspira tors, aod tbe court said : "While tbe court of appeals has held that this sort of testimony may be admitted as evidence, I have grave doubts as to tbe oorrectoess of that ruling, and tf left unhampered^by that decision I should not have allowed that part of the testimooy to have gooe to the jury. But tbe oourt of appeal is the highest judical body in the State and there is nothing left for this court except to follow the lines laid down by it." Tbe other matters raised by the ?fft davits filed were with one exception relative to alleged remarks made by jurors prior to the trial, showing hos tility to the defendant. The exception referred to was the affidavit of B T. Gurley, who swore to aileged new evi dence in Howard's behalf. The court said that the standing of these affidavits was discredited by the fact that all of the persons makiog them bad been io the court room almost every day of tbe trial and on intimate terms with the defendant : that tbe charges made in them if presented to the court and proven would have been cause for dis charging tbe jury, yet rhey wera never made until thc jury bad returned its verdict. Howard wes theo brought into thc ccurt room by Jailer Lawrence and was seated next to his obief counsel, ex Congressman W. C. Owens. The court turning to the defendant, said : "James Haward, please stand up " Howard arose and listened intently as the oourt said : "At the April term cf the Franklin county grand jury you were indiotp?, charged with the willful murder of Wm Goebel You have been represented by able counsel, but in spit-? of this you have been found guilty. Have you any reason to offer why the court should not now pronounce sentenoe opon you?" After a pause, Howard, who had stood motionless, replied : "? am iofco cent.M "That, is a matter," continued Jadge Cantrill, "that was with the jury and over whioh thc oourt had no cootrol I therefore order that you be taken back to the jail and there safeU confined until Dec 7, when you will bo token by the sheriff and hanged by toe neck until dead, and maj God have mercy oo year soul." The court then suspended the sentence for 60 days to ?ive time for the appeal which will be taken to the court, ot appeal?. After this Howard was remanded to bis steel cage in the jail.

Special to Tbe Srate Georgetown, Oat 1.-The George? town race riot does not materialize, at least it looks so op to midnight. The trouble arose Saturday evening when J. C. Scurry, a deptuy sberiff, went into a barber shop to collect delioquent taxes from a negro barber, John Brownfield. A dispute arose aod words came to blows, lo the scuffle that followed Scurry's pistol dropped from bss pocket and was snapped up by the negro, (Brownfield), who, in rapid succession, fired five shots at Scurry, each taking effect in some part of bis body. The negro theo fled bat was captured by a policeman and placed in jail. Scurry died at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Excitement rain high, for it was considered coldblooded murder. Tbe coroner's jury was composed of white men. A rumor was circulated among tbe negroes that the white men during the night would ring the fire bell, and when the negroes would rush to their engines then then the whites would run to the jail, take Brownfield out and lynch bim. This is exactly what the negroes did themselves about 7.30, and before the heil was through riugiog, by prear? rangement, between 800 and 1,000 negroes gathered around the jail with guns aod rifles to protect, as they said, the negro from being lyoohed. The ringing of the fire bell was accompa nied by screams and yells from tbe negro women and children. Mayor W. D Morgan, Sheriff Skin? ner and others went to the jail and tried to persuade them to disperse, but they (old them flatly tbat they would not. I Capt. S. M. Ward, of the Georgetown : Rifle Guards, called out his company, and they have been under arms ever since About 3 o'oioek this morning the ne? groes left the jail but freely threatened t) burn the town.
