BRITONS AGAIN ANGERED |
S*?rch of the British 8teamer Com*
dan by RuMltn Crulaar 8tarts
Up Another Dispute. I
The foreign office In London has or
dared the Britiah officials at Durban,
Natal, .to make a complete report o 1
the circumstances connected with the .
reported examination of the papers 01
the British steamer Comedian by n
tvusBian auxiliary cruiser on me soma i
African const. It la said If the report
confirms the Smolensk as the vessel
that made the examination, then a vigorous
protest will be made through
Ambassador Hardlnge. In any event,
If a Russian cruiser actually held ut
the Comedian, the incident will be !
made the subject of representation on (
the ground that the steamer was eo <
far away from the scene of bostllltloe '
that there was not the slightest reason
for her stoppage. i
The most Important feature of the 1
Incident, however, is tne Identity ot <
the cruiser. If the Smolensk actually '
examined the Comedan's papers she, I
according to the British officials, vio- I
lated the assurances given by the Russian
government that neither she nor 1
the St. Petersburg would be used again '
as men of war. I
The Ruaslan embassy has not been '
advised of the overhauling of the Comedan,
and Is inclined to doubt, if it oc- 1
curred, that the Smolensk wa3 con- '
nected with It, In view of the specific '
Instructions issued by the admiralty at
St. Petersburg. So far as official Infor- 1
mation is concerned, the matter is jo
hazy that it Is conceded In both diplomatic
circles and at the foreign office
mac it is ao3irao:e to obtain all the
| facts before formally raising a ques[
tlon which may develop Into an Important
International dispute.
The British authorities declare that
if the Smolensk overhauled the Comedan
the matter has become of such
gravity as to call for determined action
on the part of this government.
The Japanese legatjon in London expresses
satisfaction at the denial from
Washington that the United States
torpedo boaC destroyer Chauncey had
been ordered to interfere with the Japanese
operations at Shanghai. Tae
legation added that Japan could not
permit the anomalous condition at
Shanghai to continue much longer.
The Japanese minister at Pekin and
the taotai at Shanghai are co-operating
in urgent representation's which, it te
hoped, will be effective.
"Japan," declared he legalon, "will
not consent to a partial disarmament
as !n the case of the Ryeehltellnl al
Chefoo. The Russian ship3 must elthei
disarn. completely or fight."
A St. Petersbusg dispatch says: The
cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat do
stroyer Qrozovoi at Shanghai w'll bt
disarmed. The admiralty realizes that
It would be folly to send the shins
out to face the Japanese squadron in
the offing.

ruasday.
This action was taken a few hours
liter the governor's arrival from St.
Louis, but after he had discussed the
natter at lei th with Adjutant General
Harris and had read the various reports
and affidavits filed since the
burning of Reed and Cato.
The court of Inquiry was called to
meet In Savannah Thursday, August
25, and to bo composed of tho following
militia officers, their first namod
being the president of the court:
Colonel A. R. Lawton, of Savannah,
retired; Colonel W. E. Woo ten, of Albany;
Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Barker,
of Atlanta;* Major It. L. Wyly, of
Thomaorille; Captain Warren Grlce,
of Hawklnsvillo.
No charges will be filed with tho
court of Inquiry and no particular Individuals
will bo cited to appear, tho Investigation
including every nillltaman,
either officer or private, detailed for
duty at Statesboro. In addition to the
oral testimony of witnesses, the court
of inquiry will have before It for consideration
tho reports and affidavits
filed with Adjutant Qtneral Harris and
submitted by him to the governor.
t uo rsiaie3Doro anair wa3, or -course,
uppermost in the mind of Governor
Terrell when he arrived in Atlanta
Tuesday. He was more or leas familiar
with the situation from newspaper
reports, official and private telegrams
and letters, and bad been considering
the matter since its occurrence. Sc
the first thing ho did on arriving at
his office was to nrrangG for a confer
ance between himself and Adjutant
Genqral Harris, which resulted in th?
call for an inquiry.
In announcing the appointment of
officers for a court of inquiry. Governor
Terrell discusses the lawlessness
on that occasion at length.
The crime against the negroes whc
were burned at the stake, declares the
governor, v/as of small Importance
compared with the great crime against
the state. . ^
He does not censure either the civii
or th emllltary authorities in the absence
of a full investigation, but de
clares they were both there to pro
serve the peace and protect the majes
ty of tho law at all hazards and failed.
The governor says:
"I was greatly surprised and shocked
over the Statesbcro occurrence. 1
had been advised of the necessity ol
sending to Statesboro during the trial
of the murderers of the Hodges family
a military guard for tho preservation
of peace and order, which I did. Re
fore my departure for St. Louis I was
Informed that the trial was proceeding
orderly, and that nowhere was there
any evidence whatever of an intention
on the part of those present to inter
icre wim tne rogular administration
of justice. I was therofore not prepur
ed to belle-ve as true the news, which
I received en route, of the action ol
tlio moji, so horribly revolting and
sickening in its dotalis. I have beer
greatly mortified ovfr the crime ol
this mob. I take comfort in the facl
that it did not represent the sentiment
of this state, for Its action is con
demncd by a largo majorly of the peo
pie of the state, and as for that mat
tcr, of Statesboro and Bulloch county

can, and no apology should be. ma.lt

|HAIL OF JAP SHELLS
Raining Incessantly Upon
? Port Arthur Fortress.
GREAT HAVOC WROUGHT
Besiegers Gain Many Point* of Vantage
and Big Guns Hurl Deadly
Missiles Into Both Town
and Harbor.
The fall of Port Arthur Is very noar,
according to Associated Press dispatches
which reached Che Foo Wednesday.
It is stated that the Japanese have
girdled the big fortress with their
h?avy batteries and are pouring a very
lnfemo of flre on the few outlying
foils still held by the Russluns.
Caseless, nigh and day, the batteries
of the Japanese aro raining shells on
the doomed stronghold, and the wondc-r
Is that the Russians have stood tho
pitiless storm of fire so long.
The advices state that Port Arthur
Is a wreck. So accurately have tno
Japanese guns been served that there
not an undamaged house In tho
place. All the government buildings
are In ruins and the docks have been
rhldled.
The Russians have been storing
their dead in a tremendous warohouso
gnd Chinese fugitives arriving in Cho
Foo state that this building was fired
by Japanese shells and hundreds of
corpses cremated.
Nearer and nearer the Japanese lints
are being drawn about the place. In
some localities tho Japanese lines
have been advanced to within 300
yards of the Russian positions.
The flre from the Japanese land bat
xeriss is reaching the harbor, and it
is said that several of the Russian
ships have been struck.
The Japanese have lost heavily in
their repeated assaults on the Russian
I positions, but they have steadily ad[
vanced, and it is freely admitted the
' fall of the great fortress is not far distant.

The annual report of Pension Corei

this purpose was $140,419,296, leaving
an unexpended balance of $1,700,708.
During the year 47,374 persons were

COUNTERFEITERS HELD. I
i
Gang Captured in Atlanta Given Preliminary
Trial in Fedeial Court
and Heavy Bonds Asaeased.
C?3car I* McMichael, Clarence W.
Rebb, J. N. Little and P. S. Coffey, the
tear men charged with counterfeiting,
waived a preliminary trial in the United
States court at Atlanta Tuesday
morning and were recommitted to jal)
in default of bond. The bonds of Little
and Coffee were fixed at $5,000
each, and those of McMichael and
Rebb at $3,000 each.
That was the criminal side of the
first arraignment of the men who were
bold and daring enough to make $30 - (
000 worth of counterfeit money in the
very heart of Atlanta; but there was a
dramatic and pathetic side of the In
vesugauon, ana a scene was enacted <
in the United States court room whidb
made grown men turn away to bide
the tears that filled their eyes. When
the lawyers had talked; when the
ootids had been fixed; when tho iron i
cuffs were about to be placed upon the 1
men's wrists, old mothers, young
wives, Bisters and brothers crowded
about the railing to say a word ol
goodby and give a parting kiss.
The brief history of the crime had
been given In full, with all the details
of how the man Coffey bought r 'cs
for making counterfeit money from
William L. Wynne, and how Coffey
and the man Little got McMichael and
Rebb to print the spurious money at
tho dead hours of nlsht in the rooms
of a Job office In Atlanta. As Coffey
Is a countryman, and lias never been
known to have been engaged In any ?
such crime before; as Little is a labor
er, whose previous record wa3 good
and since Rebb and McMichael are
two young pressmen who scarcely
knew the enormity of the crime they
were committing. It Is believed by
many, Including officials, that these
men were tho dupoj of scheming ras
cals, belonging to a gang of okl conn
terfeiters. If this theory is true, the
inspectors may yet find others to pros
ocule In the case.
Coffey is a mail about forty-five
years of age, with a florid complexion
| ami reddish hair. A heavy sweeping
red moustache adorns his face. He
appeared to take matters coolly.
Little is 53 years of ago, and is a"
l^rge muQ, with heavy jaws and a
short black moustache. He was chow
ing tobacco all the while, and was not
at all at his ease. He gazed about
him continually, and when the lawyer?
vrero talking became restless and
nervous.
Rebb is a medium size man witt !
dark complexion and black hair. A ,
short thin moustache and a beard ol
a few days' growth gave him an un j
kempt appearance.
McMlchael, who is about twenty-five
years of age, does not look to be mors '
than eighteen or twenty. He has a
bright, attractive face, with clear eye* j
that look straight at you. One conic '
hardly pick out a man who would look i
loss like a criminal.
The men will he held until the Uni
ted States grand Jury convenes, wher
they will bo indicted. Each prisonei
I3 charged with three ssparate counts
involving the buying and having pos
session of the bogus platos, the mak
ing of tho money and having it in
their possession and the passing of
some of it.
The only ono of tho prisoners, it U
said, who is likely to aive bond is finf
fey. Ho is reputed to own a flour anc
grist mill in Upson county, neai
Barnesville. and it may be possible foi
Iiim to raise enough money to make t
53,000 bond.
After the prisoners are indicted the>
will be tried In the United States dis
trict court, at the October term.
Wllliarr Wynne, the fifth prisoner il
the case, is stll! in Sr. Louis, where
he was arrested. Ho will bo brought
to Atlanta in a day or two, when hi
will also be given a preliminary trla.
before Commissioner Colquitt.

NO STUMPING TOUR
For Judge Parker, Who Objects
to Spellbinding.
BELIEVES IT IS IMPROPER
His Views on the Matter Set Forth
by One of Hie Closest Friends.
Will Not Speak at Any Time
or Anywhere.
A special from Esopus, N. Y., says:
ft was made plain at Rosemount Mom
lay that there is no certainty of Judge
Parker making any speeches In the
west in connection with hia St. Louis
trip or at any other time or place.
The plnclple on which Judgo Parker
will act' In the matter was learned
from an intimate associate of tho
Judge, who said:
"Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility of speechmaking for its own
Bake, and will make no speeches anywhere
for the mere purpose of appearing
in any given locality. He believes
a stumping tour by a political
candidate to be improper and ho will
undertake no such tour. The only condition
upon which he will make any
speech anywhere will be the fact that
he ha= some definite thing to say, and
that he is convinced by his own reason
that some given time and place
best suits the saying of it there and
then. Yen may say with the utmost
confidence that under nc other conditions
will Judge Parker make any
speech anywhere."
TEXAS COTTON DAMAGED.
Incessant Rains, Drought and Boll
Weevills Cause Deterioration.
Tho Galveston-Dallas News publishes
reports from 522 oosrospondents In
Texa3, Oklahoma and Indian Territory .
on the cotton crop. The bo reports are
of uniform date, August 17.
Comparison is made with the crop
of 1903 at the corresponding period.
The summary shows that the average
condition in Texas is 3.25 per cent
higher than last year; Indian Territory
27; Oklahoma 42 higher. The
figures at the time of The News' last
preceding report were 9:5 per cent,
16 and 33 1-3 respectively. There has
been a marked deterioration of the
crop In the southern half o! Texas during
the past month.
In some localities of this region this
has been due chiefly to drouth, but in
other3 to boll weevils and boll worms.
Elsewhere in this section almost inces
sant rains have damaged the crop by
rot and rust and the weevils and worms
have wrought great havoc. Picking has
been retarded. In many counties tho ^
Insects are preventing tho plant from
fruiting. Some reports from cxtremo
south Texas say that picking is pracv^p^^
tically over, while predictions are rJlr^
ported from many places that
cotton will be itathcred bv Se-tfKnUnr
15 to October 1.
Eoli worms eeem to^^mistributcd
all over tho cottun jpowing territory,
being found evejp upon the ^staked
plains and in dfJklahoma and Indian
Territory. Immorthera Texas, however,
they do not/seem to bo doing any serious
damage except in a few counties.
Tho boll weevil has apparently widened
the zone of its operations, being
reported as far northa as Pais, but is
not menacingly numerous there. The
crop generally Is doing well. In northeast
and northwest Texas there has
been some appreciation above the July
condition due to favorablo- weather.
Picking will become general in that division
about September 1.
Condition j in Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory are generally splendid
and an enormous crop is expected.
The News figures that the present
conditions indicates production as follows:
Texas, 2,787,129 bales; Indian Territory,
48$,812; Oklahoma. 363,798 bales.
