who takes time to think of his health and
his personal appearance outstrips the reck-

held back in the struggle of life by their
personal appearance. Through neglect of

In Case of Refusal of United States,
She Will Have Naval Demonstra-
tion..
w7
New York, Aug. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
JaEan will insist that the United States
assuEl contingent responsibility in the
matter of arbitration of her differences
with Hawaii on the subject of immigra-
ton: and the tariff.
1t is understood that this is one of the
essential conditions upon which Japan
wip consent to arbitration and that if
this responsibility is not assumed by the
United States, Japan will break off nego-
ti&tions looking to arbitration and back
u9 her demands by a naval demonstra-
tipn in Hawaiian waters.
tThe State Department has not yet re-
Geived any official communication from
,he japanese government on this mat
yer and the administration has not indi-
ISated whether or not it will comply with
.the japanese demand when made. An
sOffcial of the Japanese legation said in
an interview:
II am not officially informed concern
ing the terms of arbitration, but that
Japan should ask the United States to
take recognition Of it and assume an
ultimate responsibility for the decisions
of the arbiter as regards being carried
out seems to me very natural.
''If the United States refuse to give
us guarantee it is probable that the
arbitration proposition will fail. We pre-
fer to entertain grievance and to in
demnify our subjects ourselves than to-
arbitrate after the indignity of the re-
fusal by the United States of so just
request. Neither the United States nor
the Hawaians can justly plead disinter-
estedness. Frequently in the Hawaiian
Japan correspondence Of late the pend
ing annexation has figured as a factor
in the situation. This should operate
in the arbitration case as we'll"

VOLCANO CARRIES HAVOC.
500 Reported Killed up to July 1, anG
May run Into Thousands.

Chicago, Aug. A special to the
Chronicle from Tacoma, Washington,
says:
Five hundred reported killed up to
July /, is the record Of the terrible out
break Of the great volcano Of Mayon, on
the island Of Luzon, one of the Philip
pine group. All night Of June "a, this
volcano began throwing up ashes and
lava in immense quantities and flames
were thrown upward considerably over
100 feet above the crater. The next
day fifty six bodies were recovered at
a considerable distance and the most
recent dispatches to Hong Kong up to
July 8. stated that not less than five
hundred were known to be killed.
1t was probable, said the dispatches
that the loss Of life would reach into the
thousands, depending ON the length of
eruption. On that date lava streams
and ashes had reached the cities Of Ba-
cacay, Malipot and Liboy, and their des-
truction was certain. Fifteen smaller
towns between these and the volcano
had been destroyed and scores of the ag-
ricultural population had been over
whelmed while attempting to escape.

AN ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG WOMAN
Third Attempt Of Jackson to do His Hellish
Work.-His Doom Sealed Heroic Resist
ance of the Young Woman-.A Neice
of Sheriff Hodges.

Washington, N. G., Aug. 4.-SpeciaD-
Another blot of crime fell upon Beau
fort county's history late yesterday after
noon. Our quiet city was thrown into
intense excitement. An attempted rape
upon the body of Miss Blanche Hodges,
sides at Old Ford, n c., six miles from
here, by one Henry Jackson, white
man, about twenty-five years old. The
facts are: Miss Hodges left home yester-
day afternoon in company with a lady
teacher to take her home. They met
Jackson while on the way. He was in
the woods harvesting straw, and when
Miss Hodges was returning home she
passed Jackson again. Seeing she was
alone, the rascal took advantage Of the
opportunity and her position, ran up be-
hind her buggy and jumped to her back,
catching her by the throat, choking her
intensely, so much so that she was hardly
able to talk afterwards. She fought her
assailant heroically, and succeeded in
knocking MIN OH TO the SrOunu Sne tneH
put whip to her horse and away for home
to herald her story. The rascal was ap-
pretended and placed in Jail. When
questioned he admitted the crime. A
News and Observer reporter attempted
to interview the prisoner this morning,
but failed to get the assailant to talk.
Evidently he has been posted to hold his
peace. This is Jackson's third attempt to
accomplish his hellish work. Better had
he never been born. Jackson has boy
ish face with small claim to intelligence.
Miss Hodges is the neice of our popular
sheriff, r. T. Hodges. She is one Of our
most popular and accomplished young
ladies.

THE FACTORY FORCED TO CLOSE DOWN
Strikers Gathered in Angry Groups and Riot
Seemed Imminent. One Of the Largest
Concerns in the South and 300
Operatives Affected.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1.-Two hundred
women and girls employed at the Fulton
Bag and Cotton Mills at this city struck
this morning because Of the employment
Of negro female help by the manage
ment. At noon four hundred men en-
ployed in the mills walked out in obedi-
ence to the orders Of the Textile Work
ers Union and in sympathy with the
striking female operatives. This forced
the closing down of the factory. Strikers
gathered in angry groups about the mills
and for time it looked as if there might
be a riot
The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills is
one of the largest concerns of the kind
operating in the South The corpora
ton is successor TO the old firm Of
Elsas, Nay and Company, and Jacob
Elsas is it's presideht. About 800 men,
women and children are affected by the
strike.
THE TROUBLE SPREADING.
the employment Of % negro women in
the 1OlulnS department OF une ulUOH
Bag and Cotton Mills, this morning, over
400 men, women and children have
gone on one of the largest strikes that
has ever occurred in this city. The mills
were forced to shut down their entire
plant and this will effect fully 1000
people of the w3rking classes. When the
notice was put up that the mills were
closed there was great disorder and it
was the incliration of the strikers at
first, to cause trouble. but the police
reserve force arrived in time to quell any
disturbance. sThe local Textile Union
took the sitle sof the strikers and sent
notice to them to hold out for their
rights. When this became known the
employees OF ahe mills, all white, walked
out. Some Gf those who quit were the
oldest and most reliable employees of the
company. S1r. Elsas, president Of the
company, explained that it was only
small affaiE and would be arranged in a
short time.5 after which mills would re-
open on fall time. The strikers how
ever, are determined, are receiving the
aid of ths local unions, and will hold
out to the last. Several years ago the
same experiment was tried in working
negroes and with the same result. None
