This Country to Send Delegates to
the adjourned Session.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Teller
has had an extended interview with Secre-
tary Carlisle in regard TO the international
monetary conference. and was told by the
secretary that it had been definitely settled
that the United States would send delegates
to the conference which will meet
May 80. All Of the old delegates
have sent their designations to
the President 1t is likely that
one or more of them will be requested TO
continue to serve. Senator Allison, how
ever, has said that it will be impossible for
him to return, and Representative Nc
Creary of Kentucky has said that be could
not continue on the commission. The silver
men here are especially anxious to have
Senator Jones returned. and will strongly
urge upon the President the expedenoy of
naming him as member of the commits
sion. Francis a. Walker will probably be
another Of the bimetallists who will be
considered.

a NEGRO's NECK SAVED.

Gov. Northeu Commutes the Sentence
of John JACKSON of Macon.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 24.-Gov Northern
to-day commuted the sentence of John
Jackson, the negro who was to have been
hanged in Macon next Friday. One night
jackson went home and found another ne
gro named Davis IL the house with his wife
BE did not make bis presence known to
them and heard the man make an sppoint-
mont to see his wife again the next night.
He said nothing about it, but the next
morning secured his gun and went two
miles to the field in which Davis was work.
ing. aud although he protested his innocence
and begged for his life, jackson shot him
down aud left him dead beside his pillow.
His attorney carried the case to the supreme
court, which affirmed the decision of the
lower court, and It devolved upon Judge
Bartlett, who succeeded Judge Miller, to
pass sentence on Jackson the second time.
In sentencing him be said he had been con-
victed aud was technically guilty. But"
he added, eff | we're governor you should
never hang" Judge Miller and Judge
Bartlett both sent strong letters 10 Gov
Northen asking far Communication and
many other prominent citizens asked for
mercy in bis behalf. The judges, in their
letters, gave it as their opinion that had the
same otfenss been committed by a white
man he would have been acquitted by the
Jury and exonerated by all men.
