ATLANTA'S PEACE JUBILEE
tiOns to Outstrip All Other Cities
in Welcoming Peace.

ATLANTA, Ca. Dec. 9.-With the peace
jubilee still five days off the executive COM
mittee Is assured OF the presence in Atlanta
on the 14th and 18th Of all their invited
guests. Attorney General Griggs Is the last
to send his acceptance and has notified tho
committee that he will come with a party of
New Jerseymen including Adjutant Gen.
eral William Stryker, Hon. William P.
Hancock. state comptroller. and Colonel
Oliphant. aide to General Stryker. In the
matter Of distinguished men who have &C.
cepted the invitation of Atlanta to be
present on the occasion 1t Is believed the
jubilee will surpass the celebrations held
recently In the north and west. and the fact
that the treaty Of peace will probably be
signed tomorrow gives to the event an ad-
ditional interesting feature in the fact that
1t will be the first real peace jubilee.
General Fitzhugh Lee has notified the COM
mittoe that he will be in attendance, and
from this 1t is inferred that the commander
OF the Seventh corps does not expect to leave
Savannah for Cuba for at least one week.
The parade Of Thursday will be the
spectacular feature Of the celebration, q
large number Of organizations from all parts
of the south having announced their in
tention to be present. General Joseph
wheeler has expressed his Willingness to ride
at the head Of his old cavalry. The stan
Of Grand Marshal West includes James
Swan and Hon. Edward A. Sumner of New
York. Colonel Henry L. Turner, who COM
manded the First Illinois regiment at tho
battle of San Juan; Alexander H. Revell
Hon. g. H. Gordon, postmaster; John ].
Badenoch former chief OF police, all OF
Chicago, and Bluett Lee. son Of General
Stephen d. Lee. The women Of Atlanta are
taking an active part in the affair. and
many receptions have been arranged for the
women Of the presidential party and other
prominent women who will be present.
The Army and Navy league has sent out a
large number Of invitations. Among the &C.
ceptances received Is one from Miss Helen
Gould. The floral parade set down for the
afternoon Of the 14th has assumed large
proportions. Apartments for the president
and members Of his party have been re-
served at the Kimball.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Navy de.

ditions at Manila and such points In the
Philippines as have been visited by his Of
hcers. Adivces have also been received
from General Otis, the commandant Of the
United States military forces in the islands,
and they both go to show q notable i'm
provement In conditions and the growth Of
better spirit among these factions of the
natives which promised to give trouble.
This fact is particularly gratifying, as
the United States government 10 already
giving considerable attention to the best
means at hand to redeem the pledge it will,
be placed under by the treaty of Paris to
secure the release Of the Spanish prisoners
held by the Philippine natives. There are
about 500 clerical prisoners and the gov
ernment is confident their captors will de-
liver them up on proper Representations

may be necessary to call the navy into
service In this matter, for the reason that
some Of the prisoners are held In captivity
on other Islands than Luzon, which can be
reached best and most effectively BY Ad.
miral Dewey's war ships. =,
Besides these clerical prisoners the Amer
leans themselves hold nearly 5000 Spanish
prisoners-men captured at the fall of Ma.
nila. These are actually on parole about
the city and the question Is, how are they
to be returned to Spain. This must be set
tied BY the peace commissioners in Paris.

Quick Action Thought Necessary to
Save Oriental Commerce.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 9.--John Barrett, for
merly United States minister to Siam, has
returned here after visiting Pekin and the
principal Chinese ports. He says the situa.
ton in China is Of the most critical nature
and that Manchuria is no longer Chinese,
but Russian territory. He asserts that New
Chwang, the chief northern port for the
movement OF American products, is also
practically Russian and is liable to be closed
any day.
The only permanent safeguard to the para
mount American and British interests, Mr..
Barrett says, is immediate and united action
by the interested governments to defend the
territory Of the Chinese empire, to enforce
reforms in the government, to prevent
further cessions of ports and provinces and
to insist upon the ''open door, policy in all
ports Of China, including the spheres OF
influence claimed by Russia, Germany and
France. Otherwise, Mr.. Barrett contends,
the impending partition Of the Chinese en-
pire will seriously curtail the field Of trade
by disastrously affecting American and
British influence in Asia.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Dec. 9.-Several large
commission Arms acting with prominent
Twin City millers have secured a corner
on wheat screenings and control all this
product in the northwest. They have raised
the price per ton from s. to $3.50, making
1t impracticable for western ranchers to
send their sheep to st. Paul to be fed dur
ing the winter month.
Over 100000 sheep have been diverted this
month to the corn belt in Iowa and Ne
braska instead Of being sent here for their
winter feeding. The cattlemen announce
that II the screening trust continues until
next summer they will ship their stock
past st. Paul and feed them on corn meal
instead OF screenings, as they and 1t more
profitable than the price now asked for
Minneapolis screenings. This feeding busi-
ness has been built up in the last half
dozen years, until now 100000 sheep are
wiutered In this vicinity.

SAILOR DIES VERY C00LLY
Anderson, Convicted Of Killing His
Mate, Maintains Innocence to
the End.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec 9.-The death war.
rant was read this forenoon to John Ander-
sen, condemned to be hanged this afternoon
Tor the murder Of the mate of the Olive
Becker. He was calm and said he was
ready to go. II shall die and 90 into the
presence OF God without blot or blemish of
guilt on my SOUL" he solemnly declared.
Representatives Of the Anatomical So
ciety OF Virginia made a proposition for the
body. Marshal Treat answered: mo SIR,
Lothing less than an order from the attorney
general OF the United States will get it,"
Anderson was hanged at $40 and died cas-
lily.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Andersoa's crin,s
has attracted widespread attention, being a
sea tragedy of singular romance and
atrocity. The schooner Olive Becker sailed
from Boston laden with lumber for point
on the river Platte, Brazil. When $50 miles
on the coast OF Brazil, Anderson, a Swede,
had an alteration with the captain. When
the latter retired to the cabin he followed
and shot the captain dead. Then he armed
himself and went on deck, where, mounted
on the forecastle, he terrorized all on
board. The mate, who was aloft, was called
down, and while pleading for his life was
shot four times. Then the crew were
ordered to throw the mate overheard, and
on protesting that he was not dead, were
assured that "he was dead enough" This
done, the crew were marched below at the
point OF pistol and ordered to throw the
captains body overheard. Then Anderson
directed that oil be thrown over the lumber.
after which the oil soaked ship was set on fire
and the murderous crew took to the boats.
Anderson was apprehended at Bahia, Brazil.
and sent north on the United States gun
boat Lancaster He was tried and convicted
In the United States court at Norfolk, Va,
and stubborn fight was made up to the
supreme court the conviction being con-
Armed. The last move was an application
for writ OF habeas corpus on the ground
that Anderson's constitutional rights were
invaded when the lower court assigned him
counsel instead OF giving him counsel OF his
own choice. Chief Justice Fuller, In an
nouncing the courts opinion, said the
record Of the case showed that no funda-
mental right had been denied Anderson,
but the latter had been represented from
first to last by able counsel. The time when
counsel was not present was at a pre-
liminary hearing Of Anderson, but this was
not used In the subsequent trial. Tho
decision OF the lower court was affirmed.

LONDON, Dec. -(New York World
Cablegram-Special islsGam.)-The case
In which Lieutenant Wark OF the Royal Ar
tillery has been sentenced to death for aid
ing and abetting Miss Yates. q Liverpool
woman Of good position, with whom he was
carrying on an intrigue in performing an
illegal operation which resulted in her
death, has created a widespread sensation.
Wark is an Irishman. 46 years Of age and
married. He enlisted as private soldier
at 30 years Of age. and served with distinc-
tion in the Afghan war. While stationed
at Liverpool he et Miss Yates, who was
a pupil Of a riding school OF which Wark
was principal.
At the trial no such scene has been wit
messed since the famous Maybrick trial.
The evidence showed that Wark tried first
to dissuade Miss Yates from undergoing
an operation, but when she insisted he
said he would stand by her to the end.
When the jury returned verdict of guilty,
Wark addressed the court, protesting his
innocence, saying that because he had
chosen to stick to Miss Yates like a man
he now found himself convicted, though II
he had chosen to throw her over like a
discarded toy all would have been we'll. He
said his letters had been cruelty and
wrongly interpreted. A great number Of
letters had been kept back that would have
proved his innocence beyond a doubt. Ac-
cording to scripture twice was he cursed
who moved his neighbor's landmark. but
he said thrice cursed be he or she who
kept back evidence willfully which would
prove a mans innocence. II this evidence
should be forthcoming 1t would prove that
he now stood before the court an innocent
man.
1t was due to his own wife to say that
through all she had been the best Of wives
and mothers. His wife had found she could
not stop the intrigue, but she had hoped
he would some day turn away from wicked
ness and sin. But, having won the girls
love- she having placed implicit trust in
him, how could he throw her to one side
He had stuck to her to the bitter end and
it was no fault Of his that she did not die
in the arms Of the man she loved, as he
was on his way to her on the day OF her
death. There had been In this case lies
innumerable-in fact 1t was almost enough
to turn man away from Gods holy book.
The prisoner closed his speech with the
words: II am now at your mercy, my
Lord" When the prisoner was sentenced
to death men and women rose in court to
scramble over the seats to shake him by
the hand, shouting: GOOD bye" and "God
bless YOU" General feeling is strongly ad-
verse to the verdict and the sentence, and
an extraordinary demonstration was made
against Judge Philllmore when leaving the
court Public opinion is that while Wark
was guilty OF immoral conduct. he acted
courageously and Is entirely innocent Of
deliberate participation in the crime. The

TEXAS IS BLIZZARD SWEPT

Tracks and Wires.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. s.--Texas was bliz-
sard-swept last night and today. All kinds
Of weather-rain. hail, sleet. snow and a
driving wind-have prevailed. The snowfall
In western Texas and tho Panhandle district
is very heavy and trafhc has been delayed
or stopped. Fourteen inches are reported
from some places In the Panhandle, while
In northern. eastern and central Texas the
fall is about four inches. All unpicked cot
ton will suffer greatly, but the snow almost
assures a fine wheat crop, Of which cereal
there is a largely increased acreage.
Tonight 1t is clear and cold, the tempera-
ture having fallen several degrees since
morning. 1t is the earliest blizzard in Texas
for number Of years.
No losses Of live stock have yet been re-
ported and 1t is not believed the damage to
this industry will amount to much, as range
cattle are reported in good condition and
able to stand severe weather.
Reports from the Indian Territory say the
