United states Notife l.

The State Department ar Washington
was notified on Friday of the withdrawal
from Pretoria of Conyngham Greene, the
British diplomatic agent to the South At
rican Republic, and the existence of a
state of war between Great Britain and
that republic. Mr.. Macrum, the Ameri-
can consul at Pretoria, has accordingly
been instructed to undertake the care of
the British interests in that section dur
ing the war. The notification came to the
State Department in the shape of a note
from Mr.. Tower, the charge of the Brit
ish embassy there. The details of the
transfer of British interests in case of
war had been previously arranged. so
that all that was necessary was the dis
patch of a brief cablegram to Mr.. Mac
rum at Pretoria.
There is no present intention at the
State Department to issue a proclama-
ton of neutrality. 1t has come to be
the custom to omit these proclamations
until some emergency arises calling for
their issue, and such an emergency is
not expected to occur in South Africa.

WATCHING THE SOUTH
From the Cincinnati Times+star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The north is giving more attention to
the Southern Industrial convention to be
held at Huntsville, Ala, than the south.
New England is interested in the conven-
ten, owing to the direct interest in the
cotton industry. The attention of Ohio and
Pennsylvania is given owing to the states
being concerned with the advancement of
the iron and coal trade. The eastern states
have an interest in knowing what will be
recommended for the Improvement and
progression of the fruit and vegetable
traffic. Michigan, Wisconsin and the en-
tire northwest are interested in the steps
that will be recommended for an extension
of the lumber trade In fact the whole
country realizes the Importance of the
south in the industrial world and will
watch with interest the proceedings of the
convention that will devise ways and
means for the promotion of the south, in
dustrially and commercially.

MOBILE Is COMING
From the Mobile Register.

iOii TIC nhopllS INeSlSttT
Mobile ought to do something about the
exhibit at the State Fair in Birnlin gham
That fair is to be representative of Ala
bama, and it deserves hearty support here;
and, also, its opportunity of offering Mo-
bile good showing ought to be appre-
ciated We claim attention as the only
seaport in the state. and should in turn
put our position before the people who will
visit the fair. They will be sure to ask
where is Mobile, and if the answer happens
to be that Mobile is not present the criti-
cism will be against this place, and we shall
be justly charged with lack of enterprise.
Let us not make the mistake of thinking
that this is merely a Birmingham show.
1t has all the characteristics of state fair.
The governor has given it recognition,
there is to be a state exhibit, and very
nearly every county has prepared or is
preparing to be represented. Mobile ought
certainly to be there.

New Venezuelan Boundary.

By an unanimous vote the Anglo-Vene-
Zuelan arbitration commission has adopted
a compromise line, which gives Venezuela
100000 square miles of the 100000 square
miles that she claimed. The new frontier
is to be the Waina river. 1t is not far from
the Schomburg line. England loses por-
tion of the gold field territory and Vene-
zuela is deprived of the coveted Essequibo
frontier. Venezuela retains control of the
Orinoco river, which is the great artery of
that country. The control of the Orinoco
by England was really what President
Cleveland and Secretary of State Olney
feared when they shocked the world with
threats of war If England did not abate
her claims. Arbitration was the outcome
of Englands retreat to diplomacy.
The commission defines the new line with
great care. In substance Venezuela gains
a good deal of marsh land and secures con-
troll of the Orinoco, towards which England
had been suspiciously moving. England
gains an immense body of forest lands,
and the world gains a settlement of an
International difficulty that was once very
threa tening.
But still settlement by compromise is
scarcely just method. 1t will not be apt
to especially commend arbitration hereaf-
ter. The counsel for Venezuela do not think
the decision was based on right but it
will nevertheless be accepted by both Ven-
ezuela and Great Britain, and the boundary
question will at once disappear from in
ternational politics.

the south as a whole can be brought to see
that the lynching evil does not decrease
crime. but does, on the other hand. brutal
lie the young men engaged in It. and does
severely Enjure the reputation of the south
throughout the world. it may be possible
TO build up a sentiment that will enforce a
law like that of South Carolina, which
seeks to infiict verdict OF not less than
$1,000 upon any county in which lynching
occurs. No law is of much account that
does not have a strong public sentiment
behind it. If the lynching evil is ever
eradicated in the south 1t must come about
through a reform in the people-in public
sentiment. The case in Orangeburg coun-
", South Carolina, was one of alleged in
eendlarism. The crime was of course never
proven. The mob gave no opportunity for
that. It was a case in which the South
Carolina law should have been enforced.
The News and Courier is still hopeful of
just result, but It is very plain a reform is
needed in public sentiment in orangeburg
county.

THE PRICE OF CANDY

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
The price of candy has been increased
What the technical man calls the penny
trade" is threatened with extinction. In
stead of getting four or five big pieces OF
candy for a penny, the purchaser Will re-
ceive hereafter only two or three pieces,
and they won't be big either. This terrible
news was promulgated today by the New
York and New Jersey Confectionery asso-
citation, concern that has no especial SYM
pathy with youngsters, but bases its deeds
upon market prices.
.'This increase in tariff" the association
announces, affecting as it does gumdrops,
chocolate drops and old-fashioned molasses
candy, is due to an increase in the market
value of sugar and other material"
The association is composed of wholesale
dealers, through whose hands passes nearly
all the candy sold in these parts. The
greatest change occurs in chocolate goods,
and is due to large increase in the price
of the raw material. There will be no
change in the price of candy retailing at 81
or more per pound.

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY
From the New York Journal

From the New York Journal.
In a recent issue we alluded edtorially to
the increasing prosperity of the south.
This prosperity is shown in no direction
so forcbly as in the constantly increasing
number of cotton mill spindes which are
coming into operation.
There were in the fiscal year just ended
81 AS more spindles at work in the south
than during the previous year. This Is an
increase of 8.65 per cent. In the north
there were but $4,000 additional spindes in
operation, an increase of only SO per cent
The increase in the number of spindles in
the south is therefore twenty-four times as
great as in the north.
This really wonderful progress indicates
not only healthy growth of business, but
a competition which threatens to make
serious inroads into the profits of the Fall
River and Lowell mills
In fact 1t would not be surprising If in
the near future the centers of the cotton
milling industries should be transferred
from northern points to southern seaport
towns.
In order to postpone this southern drift
it would not be surprising if the Massa-
chusetts mills should cease competition
among themselves in order to combine
against the southern mills

Public Sentiment at Fault.

'"If the men who made the constitution"
says the Charleston News and Courier in
discussing the Brown case at Orangeburg
"could have foreseen the infinite disregard
of constituted authority of which this Or
angeburg jury was capable Of they might
have been induced to have omitted from
our books the occasion for this additional
and fragrant disregard of law. An exam
pie has been set of which the enemies OF
this section of the country will not fail to
make the most, and the evasion of justice
is so patent to every one that we ourselves
will scarcely have the hardihood to lift our
voices in our own Defense
The News and Courier believes that JUS
tice will yet be secured in this case through
an application that has been made for a
new trial. The trial judge was eminently
fair, and the perversion of justice came
Through the action of the jury The Sa-
vannah News has no faith that new trial

After all, the real work In the suppression
of lynching consists in the creation of a
public sentiment against the habit. When

GERMANS TO HELP TnE beers

From the Chicago Tribune.
Although the Transvaal will not have the
assistance of the kaiser in its war with
Great Britain, yet the Beers will be as
sisted by most of the Germans in South
Africa. Captain Adolf Schiel is now organ
izing his compatriots in what will be known
as the German Volunteer Corps, and he ex-
poets to have 1900 in the ranks before the
beginning of hostilities. The commander OF
the volunteers has led an exciting life OF
adventure Leaving the Prussan army, in
which he had a commission as lieutenant,
when 20 years of age, he went to South
terror, he made the acquaintance of the
Zulu chief, Dinizulu, and became his ad-
wiser and minister. BY Captain Schieps
advice the chief secured the aid of the
Beers, and together they defeated the rival
Zulu tribes who had made war on DIM
zulu. "Oom'' Paul became impressed with
the young mans ability and made him ma
tive commissioner for northern Transvaal.
In the battles with the natives during his
administration Schiel distinguished himself
greatly that General Joubert made him
his adjutant. President i<rusSEr. iia ate ar
pointed him chief of all the Transvaal
prisons and captain of artillery. Captain
Jameson raid, but on his return he planned
the fort at Johannesburg of which the Uit-
landers complain. Until the beginning of
the present year he was commander of the
fort.
