FLOUR ought to be cheap this
year. The wheat crop will amount
to at least 50O,OOO,OOO bushels in
spite Of the damage in the North
west. The crop has never reached
those figures except in 1882, when
it was 5O4,0OO,O00 bushels, and in
1884, when It was almost $4,000
900 bushels. Last years crop was
only 416,O0O,OOO bushels. A great
wheat crop and the magnificent
corn crop which we have reason
to expect ought to make this year
of plenty in the land.

10 SETTLE In COBB.
An English COlOny.-2, 03O Acres Sold
for a Large Amount.

Negotiation are pending between
the Atlanta Real Estate Exchange
and an English syndicate, for the
w. P. Anderson plantation, between
Austell and Marietta.
The deal is almost closed, the
papers having been forwarded to
London for approval.
The Anderson plantation compris-
es 5000 acres. 1t has on it twenty
two good tenement houses, large
old-fashioned country home, grist
mill, cotton gin, and all other neces-
sary out buildings. 3
For the whole the English syndi-
cate is to pay $34,5l0, and the con-
tract stipulates that possession shall
be given by the first OF October.
The property is purchased by the
syndicate for the purpose of using it
for the foundation OF colony of
English farmers. About thirty
families will be put ON this place.
They will be of the better class OF
English people, and Nill own the
land upon which they settle. The
syndicate allows them to pay for it
as they choose.
On their farms the Englishmen
will raise mostly fruits, vegetables
and grain with comparatively little
cotton. They will probably be here
in time to arrange for next seasons
crops.
Some weeks ago representative
Of the syndicate was in Atlanta.
Together with Mr.. Mountain of the
real estate exchange, he went over
the property He was highly pleas
ed with it, and was confident that
the colony would do we'll in depar-
ture from the staple product of the
section. He thought the soil in
every way suited to the purpose,
and so reported to his principals.
This syndicate has been founding
similar colonies for years through
out the west, and in one instance in
the south. The only one in the
south is near Asheyille, N. c., and
it has been so successful that the
syndicate determined to come still
further south.
If the Austell colony meets with
the success anticipated, similar ones
will be established all over the State,
especially in north Georgia.
a better class of immigrants, said
a prominent Albanian, "could not
possibly be induced to come to
Georgia than these sturdy English
farmers. They are the bone and
sinew Of their little isle, and when
once transplanted to American soil
they cannot fail to prove valuable
citizens. They gill not only be
valuable citizens, butin their exam

THE SITUATION AT SAMOA.

Testimony of Consul General Sewall Be
fore Congressional Committee.
WASHINGTON, January l1.-Consul-gen-
eral Sewan, of Samoa, who has been at
home for several months, appeared before
the senate committee on foreign relations
to-day, Messrs. Sherman, Frye, Evarts and
Dolph being present. There was also
present ex Minister John o. Mason, who
is greatly interested in the domain ques-
ton. General Sewall was examined in
secret at length by members of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Sewall is reported to have
expressed the belief that the next mail
will bring news of further and more
terrible conflicts between the Germans
and the natives than have yet occurred.
He said the shedding of blood since he
left Samox had radically changed the
situation of affairs, and that if it were not
intended to yield to Germany the entire
control of the islands some decided action
would have to be taken by the powers.
He presented to the committee copies of
the Samoan Times, newspaper published
at Apia, containing accounts of an unpro-
voked and unexpected attack by the Ger
man war ships upon the natives, and of a
meeting by consuls of other nations de
nouncing the act, as also the nl;slead-
ing and unfair statements by the
German consul. Mr.. Sewall spoke
of the studied and systematic
efforts of the Germans in sending out
news from Berlin concerning Samoa to
give the impression that an American was
the aggressor in every case of trouble.
The Germans, he is further reported to
have said, are entirely responsible for any
apparent division of the natives into hos
tile factions. He described Tameoese's
followers as com paratively a handful who
were threatened by an unpleasant
dilemma. If they failed to keep up the
agitation against the native government,
they feared death at the hands of their
allies; if they escaped, then the same
fate awaited them at the hands of the
natives who considered them traitors to
Samoa.

HILLsBoRo, January 1.-Two years ago
Steve McClannahan was tried here in the

years. The next day after sentence was

the superintendent of the asylum, re-
turned him to the authorities of Hill
county as not insane. He was theo
brought before County Judge Pasham and
again tried for insanity. Four medical
experts examined him and declared him
sane, bat the jury pronounced him insane
and he was ordered sent to the asylum
at Austin, but the superintendent declined
to receive him. After remaining in the
Hill county j Ill until the district court
convened he was again brought before
Judge j. NJ. Hall and tried. The
same medical experts pronounced him
sane and the jury also declared him sane,
and he was sent to the Rusk penitentiary.
He still kept up the constant motion Of
his arms and feet and continued to do so
until January Z. w. G. Jameson, M. D.,
pysician in charge of the penitentiary at
Rusk, writes as follows: "Steve McClana-
han is all right. He made a full confess
sion yesterday, and says that he has been

AFRICA.
Mohammedans Massacre Chris
tlans and Burn Two Mission
Stations On Lake Nyanza.
Mohammedan Threats of Wiping
Christianity and the Mission
aries Out of Central
Africa.

ZANZIBAR, January 11.-Advioes have
been received from the interior that, in
October last, Mwanga, king of Uganda,
plotted to destroy his entire body guard,
his intention being to abandon them on
an island in Lake Nyanza, where they
would starve to death. The guards, who
had been forewarned of the kings inten-
tentions, refused to enter the canoes which
were to convey them to the island, but re-
turned to the capital and made an attack
on Mwanga's palace. The king fled to
escape the fury of the guards, and his
brother, Kiwewa, was enthroned in
His stead. Kiwewa appointed Christians
to the principal offices. This enraged the
Arabs, who murdered many of the Chris
tian officials and replaced them with Mo-
hammedans. The Arabs burned the Eng
lish and French mission stations and
killed many of the converts to Christiani-
ty, The mission boat Eleanor, in which
some of the persons who had been con-
verified by the French missionaries were
fleeing, was struck by hippopotamus and
sank, five of the converts being drowned.
Many letters from Emin Bey and Henry
M. Stanley were destroyed by the burning
of the missionary stations. The mission
aries have reached Ussmboio in safety.
The Mesalala depot is safe. Mwanga is
a prisoner at Magu. He has appealed to
the English missionaries for assistance.
The Arabs have written to Missionary
Mckay exulting in their triumph, and
prophesying the extinction of all mission
airy stations in Central Africa in revenge
for England's anti-slavery policy. They
have proclaimed Uganda Mohammedan
kingdom.

DALLAS, January 1.-THE mayor re-
ceived letter from the German CON
sulate at Galveston this morning making
inquiry concerning the death ola German
by the name of Christian Frederick
Krunge, who is supposed to have entered
the pearly gates via Dallas. The consul
stated in the letter that certificate OF
death was wanted because the disposal
of large estate depended upon it.
The committee appointed to canvass
the town and place the remainder of the
$4,000 second mortgage fair bonds have
been at work all day. They are gradually
finishing up the work. There have been
few of the citizens that have worked hard
for the past three days to put the fair on
good permanent basis, and of course
their efforts will be crowned with success.
The money will be raised by constipation
of the pocketbook, which is very COM
mon thing in Dallas.
Quite number of citizens to-day have
expressed themselves upon the provision
of the proposed new charter which makes
all city Misunderstanding the mayor,
assessor, collector and city judge-eligible
only by the council. The people gem
orally are opposed to this feature, and
unless it is changed protest will go to
Austin that will be no good for the new
charter. The new charter will have q
tendency to retire about nine aldermen in
April.
