President Gaure's Departure For st. Pc
tersburg-A Bomb Exploded and Caused
Little Damage.
PARIS, Aug. 19.-The departure
of President Faure on visit. to the
Gear at st. Petersburg to-day was
marked by a scene of greatest ex-
citemement, accompanied by the
circulation of the widest kind of
rumors. After his departure bomb
exploded along the route the Pres
ident had followed, and although
no damage was done, and in spite of
the fact that nobody was hurt,
the most intense excitement prevail
ed for long time afterward, and
sensational reports had it that those
who exploded the bomb had intend
ed an outrage of a most serious ma
ture.
Upon investigation by the police,
however, it developed that the ex-
ploslon caused but little damage and
that nobody was hurt. Fragments of
the bombs were taken to the pre-
lecture of police, where they were
submitted to a thorough examination
upon the part of experts, who pro.
nounced the bomb to have been q
comparatively harmless affair.

"Let me put on your dress and hat
Annie, and go to the door,
She consented, and the man put
ting on full female attire, went to the
door, and was met by a negro man,
who asked him who was in the house.
Harold, personating Annie Rigsby,
said: "No one except myself.
The negro seized the man, doubt
less thinking he had Annie Rigsby,
when struggle ensued. The negro
had companion near, and both
opened fire on Harold. Nine shots
rang out, startling the community.
Harold fell mortally wounded, four
balls having entered his body.

Neither Boyle nor McNall was in

can bind Kansas officials, and Judge
Hortou arranged to have Judge
Williams come into Kansas and hear

SHERMAN ANSWERS JAPAN.
RIGHT Of the UNITED STATES TO
ANNEX HAWAII IS REITERATED.

The Toxic Government L. Assured. How.
ever, That Her Interests Will bs 0aard-
ed-Legislation Pleased ss Letters
Friendly Spirit.
Secretary Sherman has submitted
to the Japanese Government an An
sWer to Japan's late note relating to
the annexation of HaWail to the Unit
ed States. The answer was delivered
to Mr.. Hoshi, the japanese Minister,
last Saturday. It is in reply to the
Japanese note of July 10, which up to
that time had not been acknowledged.
Mr.. Sherman's note is marked by
friendly expression toward Japan,
which gives special satisfaction, IN
view Of the somewhat strained rela-
tions resulting from the previous cor
respondence. Two features are brought
out by the answer.
It reiterates the position heretofore
taken by the Secretary Of State as to
the right and propriety Of annexing
Hawaii to the United States. With
this, however, is coupled an assurance
that the interests of Japan in Hawaii
will be fully safeguarded. 1t also ex-
presses satisfaction 1T tho plan Of Ar
bitrati0n between Japan and Hawaii
on the question of japanese immigra-
ton to Hawaii.
The answer is largely an elabora-
ti0n of Mr.. Sherman's former letter,
and the policies expressed in NO way
differ from those Professionally laid
down by him.
Minister Hoshi has cabled the sub
stance Of the answer to the Toxic gov
ernment, and the full text of the an
swer has been forwarded. It will not
reach Japan until September z, and nc
action may be taken until the text il
before the japanese foreign Office

entitled TO much credit for the crop
now growing on the land. Consider.
Ing the natural poverty Of the soil. the
crop 10 excellent. He has about eleven
hsndren acres in cotton and may make
from three hundred and 6fsy tu four
hundred bales Of Eve hundred pounds
weight. The land is very unpeomis-
ing; it 10 nothing but l0t Of old hilie,
washes and Gulieys that have been
Naaed by the former management and
put upon the State under An iron. clad
lease for nine years. The land has got
. better crop on it to- day than il ever
can haze again, unless it 10 thrown out
to grow up for several years and then
re-cleared. The winter rains will wash
it SO that even next year, in my opin-
ion, it will hardly be worth planting.
and the third year l would rot plant
II il you would give it to me. This IL
the beautiful legacy that has been
transmitted to US by the late Demo-
cratic Governor, superintendent and
Board Of Directors Of the Penitenti-
ary. The land was leased by them
feOm some five or six different owners,
the State agreeing to $4,000 . year for
nine years. From what l learn thl
owners were not getting any Igdl
or any income from it worthy OF
mention. am informed tnat one OF
the principle owners, the lArgest owner
of the crowd, had q brother on the
Board of Directors. This Board rented
from them for seven years this worth
less land for $1,000 . year, and then
spent thousands of dollars In clearing
it up, and the State has got nothing
for 1t except some wood that has been
hauled away to be eaten up BY railroad
freights. The crop this year may
amount to something more than ex.
penses, but 1t will never do it another
year, and yet the State is bound under
q cut-thrOat lease to pay 81 800 yeaI
for the next seven or eight years."
This is only fair average sample Ol
the economy and honesty and "GooI
GOVERNMENT" of the late Democratic
party.
