Ll-what Effect 1t VIII Have on the
Peace Negotiations VIII Depend Upon the
Result Of His Wound-Foster's Friends
Fearful.
WASHINGTON, March 6.--No official
confirmation of the attempted assas-
sination of Iii Hung Chang has been
received at either the Chinese or the
japanese legations. The general feel
ing here is one of profound regret that
this venerable Chinese diplomat should
have fallen victim to a fanatics bull
let. Its effect upon the peace nego-
tiations cannot be determined, for
much will depend upon the result.
Should III recover after a short
illness, the only result, it is believed
would be to delay settlement of
peace. Should he die, postponement
of the peace negotiations for number
of weeks is regarded as inevitable. So
great is the confidence Of the Japanese
ENJOYS and the Japanese people as
well, in LIS ability to further
a settlement of peace, that his
death would make it difficult to
secure another envoy on the part of
China who would be equally accepta-
BILE to Japan, or who, it is believed,
would SO easily bring the negotiations
to successful close.
Ii is 73 years of age, and at his ad-
vanced age men do not recover readily
from serious wounds. Lii has been in
feeble health for many months.
The punishment which Lis assassin,
Koyoma, will receive. will be both
speedy and severe. In the present
case, the attack upon Ii, who is the
direct representative Of the emperor of
China, is tantamount to an attack on
the emperor himself, and will, for this
reason, be severely dealt with.
The friends of Mr. John w. Foster
in this city are greatly disturbed over
the shooting of Ii Hung Chang, since
it is feared that he may have met a
similar fate. The absence of any
dispatches to this effect, however,
would indicate that no attempt
has been made upon his life, and
the stringent measures which the
authorities will adopt from now until
the conclusion of the peace negotia-
tions negative the belief that any in
jury may result in the future either to
Mr.. Foster or to the members of Lis
suite
The report here that China will not
consent tc cession of any part of her
territory as one of the conditions of
peace, is not believed to be correct

spread to Wilhelm & Hexter's hand
some furniture store, and from there to

work by the fire department, the flames
were gotten under control, the chief
loss being confined to three large brick
buildings and contents, situated on

north. The stocks OF s. r. Geise & Co.,

Relic Of the Confederacy.

Hon. Andrew j. Cobb, of Atlanta,
Ga, has one of the most interesting
relics Of the confederacy. His father,
Gen. Howell Cobb, was president of the
provisional congress that met in Mont
gomery, Ala, to frame the constitution
of the confederacy, and when all the
business had been finished it became
his duty to sign the constitution as
president of the assembly. This he did
with an elegant gold pen, which was
used only for that purpose, and then
laid back in its case. Prof Cobb has
that pen now. 1t has never been dis
turbed since the hand of Gen. Cobb laid
it in its case, and the ink used can be
seen where it has dried upon the pen.
Photographed at tho End OF Rope.
Gov Atkinson of Georgia wrote the
sheriff of Monroe county, Ca, asking
him for all information respecting the
lynching of the negro, Amos Gibson.
That officer replied by sending the gov
ernor photograph of the dead negro,
taken as he hung suspended from the
limb of tree, the coroner of the coun-
ty holding the body steady to keep it
from swinging as the photograph was
being taken. There was strange ex-
preston, almost smile, upon the face
of the coroner, who looked rather
ghastly under the circumstances. A
reward of $500 each has been offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
lynchers.

NUMBER 10.
SOUTHERN GLEANlNos.
A Florida Geyser.

Passengers on the east-bound train
of the Florida Central & Peninsular
railroad witnessed phenomenal spec
tacle as the train approached the
sinks" about miles from Ellaville,
Fla.
The sinks says dispatch describing the
event, are not unknown In different parts OF
Florida being hollow places in the earth OF
various sizes, somewhat resembling the dry
bed Of a lake, but deeper. and often showing
caves In their sides and subterranean passages
running from their bottom. They generally
have water In them only during the rainy sea-
son, from July to November.
As the train approached one OF these sinks
about daybreak the engineer noticed water
flowing from 1t, and stopped the locomotive.
He was none too quick. for minute or two
later an immense volume Of water rose to
distance Of Is or 20 feet, roaring and seething
like geyser. This lasted for fully five min
utes, and the train hands and passengers
looked on with awe and terror Then the col
umn subsidized but the overflow had become
q raging torrent and washed away % feet
of the railroad embankment, leaving tho
tracks 4 or feet under water. The passen-
gers had TO be transferred to the other side ON
a temporary bridge, and were delayed eight
hours in reaching Jacksonville. The only ex-
PLANTATION Of the phenomenon Is that this sink
is connected by subterranean passages with
branch Of the Suwanee river, which was at the
time above its natural banks, owing to heavy
rains, and that by some peculiar pressure the
water was forced up through the sink into
high column.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


A Triple Tragedy.
News comes from Toomsuba, in the
eastern part of Lauderdale County, of a
triple killing at Kewanee, small sta
ton on the Alabama Great Southern
Railroad. The parties to the untortu-
nate affair were Ben and Allen Pringle,
brothers, aged respectively, ~ and S5
years, and James Britton, aged 80 years.
1t is reported that tho parties met on
tho farm OF Henry Smith, adjoining
their own premises, we'll armed, when
an old quarrel was renewed and one Of
the Pringle boys shot Britton in the
bowels, mortally wounding him. Brit
ton then shot both of the Pringlos, kill
ing them instantly.
The difficulty is understood to havo
had its origin in bitter controversy
between Britton and the Camp brothers,
proprietors of tho neighborhood grist
mill, about some 30 cents worth OF meal
two or three years ago, and about which
one of the Camp boys was killed by
young man named Spinks shortly after
ward.
Britton had charged the Camps with
taking too much toll from his corn, and
the controversy between them over the
matter became SO acrimonious that the
whole neighrorhood became involved in
the trouble, the Camp and Britton ad-
herents being about evenly divided.
Afitton and Camp finally carried their
quarrel into the courts, where after an
experse Of several hundred dollars for
court costs. lawyers fees, etc, to say
nothing Of Inc lost ime and bad blood
engendered, a'yers was reached in
favor OF Camp
