WILL INTERFERE IN DUE TIME.
Russia. England and France Will
Act as Oriental Pcacemakers.

London special: A dispatch to the Times
from Paris SAYS some Russian envoy have
received instructions as to the attitude
which Russia, England and France,
through Russia's intervention, intend to
take on the questions raised by the war be-
tween China:and Japan.
According to the Times correspondent it
has been decided that the eventual inter
,ventlon of these powers at the proper mo-
ment shall be absolutely disinterested
China will be asked in her own interests
as well as those of the civilized world to
open her ports, seeing the present system
has led to China's pOwerlessness and ruin.
The powers will wait until China adj
mits herself vanQuished and sincerely ne
gOtiates for peace. 1t will then be
pointed out to Japan that Europe cannot
allow her TO annex an inch of the Chinese
main land. Blu the same possibility does
not exist in regard to other anneXationS
which will be open to discussion.
There will be no intervention concern
ing vessels, arms or other booty, nor as to
war indemnity. No objection will be

tons as pledges of payment. But no COM
mercial stipnlations to the disadvantage
of the powers will be permitted. The
whole world is to profit by any opening of
ports or liberty to penetrate into the in
terror of China. Finally the powers will
insist that Chinese currency in the future
be on the European system, in order to ia
cilitate the new foreign loan to which
China will will be obliged to resort.

On top of the freezing temperature. Tampa
reports snow which is increasing. This is
unprecedented in that Florida latitude.
The mercury fell to II above in Jackson
vile. Key West and Palm Beach were the
only points in the state above freezing.
Orange and other fruit trees are probably
all killed outright. The loss will aggre-
gate many millions of dollars. The aver
age life of a tree is thirty years. which
means fully twenty prospective crops for
trees now beginning to bear. All early
vegetables and 10000 boxes of strawber-
ries which would have been shipped from
February % TO March 20 were DESTROYED.
The plants are also ruined. There will
probably be no early strawberries from
Florida this season.
The prediction is for still lower temper
azure over the entire southern peninsula.

broadcast English You can mouth, as if it
were spelled Points d 'Leeun. And SO of
all other foreign names hereabout.
Frills in pronunciation are bad form
here. Plain English is good enough for
Atlanta. Then there are parks and
groves of every size and variety. Fort
Walker is kept just as the war left it,
with the old cannon and ammunition
wagon standing as in 1864, save that it
is rather badly weathered. The old city
reservoir is turned into q great lake,
with steam launch, pleasure boats and a
bathing beach. And the city itself is on
the highest ground between the Missis-
sippi and Atlantic of any place of its
size, Denver being the only city Of its
size which is higher. So October is al
ways a delightful month here. A short
ride will take one among the widest
mountain scenery of north Georgia, and
it isn't very far to Dahlonega and the
center Of the old goldields which De
Soto sought SO long and never found.
But when the original engineers sur
veyed this place and vicinity the timber

like indianapolis and Philadelphia will
therefore find that geography here is an
inexact science and must cultivate the
direction sense anew.
But this is getting long way from
the exposition. Despite the many and
vexatious delays, every day, at almost
every hour, sees some department COM

was unpacked, a delay due, the foreign
ers said, to the failure of the govern
ment to have customs inspectors here, for
such is the kindness of our paternal gov
ernment that everything the foreigners
bring here must be classified and enter

Mossback Ideas Knocked Out by Dire
Necessity in L=xiegton, Ky.
LEXINGTON, KY, Oct 3.-In the new
charter for cities of the second class
clause was inserted giving women the
right TO vote for members. of the board
of education. For sevstal weeks the
pastors of the Lexin gton cS1ored churches
and the colored school teachers have
labored night and day to bring out a full
registration of the women voters. The
white people did not learn of this work
until late this afternoon, when the col
ored women who registered numbered
twice as many as the whites.
1t was g ated that a col9red teacher was
to be d Candidate for member of The board
of education. The white women left
their children at home and went into
politics sure enough. In one instance
a young married woman with two little
children was waited on by several of her
neighbor women, who told her of the
danger of the negro women overwhelm-
ing them at the polls in November.
This was too much for the young
mother, and she marched of to the
registration booth, leaving her little
ones crying with their father. One of
the women who took an active part in
eanvassing for white women votes left
her 4-year- old girl at home alone, and
when the father came home to supper
there was no supper, no wife, and no
child. When he found his wife she
knew nothing of her little one. saying
she had left IL at home; that she had to
get votes to beat the negroes.

REFERENDUM IN ILLINOIS.


If the principles of the initiative and
referendum should ever be adopted in
this country it will probably be brought
about gradually. illinois has recently
taken a step in this direction in the pass
age of the Torrens law.
The act concerning land titles, better
known as>the "Torrens law" passed by
the last Legislature, provided that before
it should go into effsct in any county it
pie. In any county of the third classic
which Cook county belongs-the petition
for its submission must be signed by
not less than $500 voters.
The particular advantage about the pro-
posed system is that it makes the trans
fer of land as simple as the transfer of
railroad certificate or of bank stock. A
scratch or two of the pen and the thing is
done, and there is no waiting for weeks
for the making of abstracts and the opin-
ions of lawyers. All the exasp Grating de-
lays that now characterize an important
land sale will be done away with, and as
soon as the system is thoroughly estab-
lished and the people understand its
mode of operation the transfer of piece
of land will be accomplished as quickly
as the transfer of horse.
While these are but small part of the
advantages inuring to real estate holders
from the adoption of this system, it is not
at all compulsory. Any body that chooses
can Stand on The ancient ways. Nobody
is obliged to record his title. The point
is to give liberty to those who desire
greater freedom in the sale of lands.

and about goo men, and on the day the
main part of them arrived Atlanta was
almost as much excited as if the celestial
emperor himself had come 1t would be
worth 81 to hear my vigorous friend
Geary, author Of the exclusion act, ex-
press himself concerning this trick.
1t was wonderful sight when the
customs inspectors got their books ready
and the foreigners began to unpack
Four hundred and for3y-fve big boxes
and packing cases in one day were dis
charged into the manufactures and
Liberal Arts building. Venetian glass
ware, Italian statuary, hand carved fur
niture, curios of almost endless variety
and 200 sorts of Milanese specia tiles, so
kinds of silk and as many varied mix
lures of silk, wool and linen, and the
long lines of articles Chased by Mrs.
Paul Potiphar as tbigotry and virtue"
On the same day several of the state
and minor buildings had not an ar
ticle in place, and all around the
grounds the big "Trilbys" and
graces, cupids and fauns, with For
tuna, Columbia, Dea Georgia and
all the Greek goddesses in metal
which were to ornament the high fronts,
still lay in the dirt in most ungOddess-
like attitudes. It is really wonderful
that so much was done in time. Costa
RIGA had all her exhibits in place in less
than three days after they were opened.
Arkansas had nearly all her stuff so
artistica1ly packed that it went to the
right place and was ready to look at as
fast as unpacked. The fanciful and ar
tistic designs wrought Of the cereals and
grasses of the state are much finer than
any il exhibited at Chicago. All these
are in her part of the Agricultural
building.
In the same building are many other
unique designs to represent certain sec
lions of the south. The Seaboard Air
Limo railroad has relief map exhibit
ing the country through which the road
runs from Portsmouth, Va, here, and a
miniature train traverses the fields and
runs into facsimile of the Union depot
the same that sarcastic photographers
refer to as the ATLANTA car shed. ;" An
interesting little thing in this neighhor-
hood is the miniature cotton gin, from
which the lint is seen falling into a
glass case, SO the visitor can see the en-
tire process. 1t seems a little odd that
the finest, at any rate the most unique,
booth in this building should be that of
a Cincinnati distilling company, and
that the designer % il is a lady of that
city. Yet so it is, and though the acces-
series of whisky are made prominent in
the fnishings the general effect is ex-
tremely pretty. As to the mere amuse-
ments. those on the inside linger behind
The general show, but on the outside,
oh, my In truth. they are so numerous
that a man can very easily spend all his

The Populist plan to have a national
convention in February is evidence that
the party has no intention of being swaI-
loved by the free silver party. If the
Republicans and Democrats should fail
to adopt free silver plank in their plat
form, the friends of the white metal
would have to take their medicine, vote
the Populist ticket or nominate silver
ticket, thus dividing the forces and in
creasing the probability of defeat The
latter course would best suit the gold
standard politicians. They would not
care particularly whether Democrat or
Republican were elected. They would
prefer Cleveland, however, who is
neither one nor the other
