Rapists In Florida.

Raptsts In Florida.
Tallahassee, Fla, April 2e-Although
this was Memorial day. state holiday,
both houses of the legislature spent busy
forenoon. The Senate devoted itself large
ly 10 the preliminary consideration of
measures, and the new bills introduced
were of minor Importance
In the House a bill to consolidate the
several state Summaries into a university
of Florida was introduced. II will doubt
less be widely discussed, and Is expected
to cause long hard struggle, and con-
sumo much time of both houses Il is safe
to say it villa not become a law, as public
sentiment is opposed to it, and conditions
do not favor it, 1t Is openly limited that
1t Is a political move to intrench supt
Sheats in power
The recent Georgia outrages have led
to the Introduction of a bill directing the
sheriffs of all counties to purchase blood
hounds for use in catching rapists and
felons.
More immigra ton, health and anti-liquor
measures were introduced and definite and
saiutary legislation upon these matters
seems now assured. carefully prepared
bill TO prevent the defeat of justice by
pleas of insanity by criminals was intro
duced in the house by Clark of Jackson
Vile, and is certain of strong support.
Both houses, as a body, this afternoon
joined the Florida division, United Con-
federate Veterans now in annual state
encampment here and marched to the
city cemetery, where many soldiers slain
in the civil war are buried, to attend the
memorial services.

PINES NOT BADLY HURT.
Damage From the Freeze OverestI-
mated in First Reports.


Valdoeta, Ga. April 26.-The reports of
damage to turpentine trees from the
freeze appear to have been exaggerated.
The leaves of the trees had the appear
ance of having been killed, but now that
the summer is coming on, these trees are
running as well as those which escaped
the freeze altogether. A turpentine man
said yesterday that he has noticed that
the trees are running better on the high
lands than in the low, damp places He
attributes the difference to the tempera-
ture, and he believes that the trees in
both the uplands and lowlands will run
all right when the weather gets a little
warmer. He thinks the trees were made
backward by the freeze, but not perma-
nently injured. Abou0 per cent. of the
trees are damaged.
For several years a crowd has been go

T,e oueen,s speech,

(From the Phlladetphla Iedger.)
The parliamentary session prorogued yesterday
has been one of The dulIest in the recent history
OF the body, and the Queen's brief speech, which
marked the end OF the proceedings, was, for
the most part. as coorless. conservative per
frnetory, and non-cornnittal as the royal de-
liverances on such occasions expected to be-
But somcthing like firm note is discoverable
in that nor ion CT the speech which refers to
the petition OF the British subjects in the Trans
vaal for the redress Of the grievances that have
brought England ard the South African Repiib-
lie dangerously near the verge OF war. The
Transvaa situation is characterized in the speech
as a constant source of danger to the peace and
prosperity OF the British d0Ininions in South
Africa No hopeful word foreshadowing a speedy,
satisfactory, and permanent settlement of these
troubles is hazarded in the speech, and it is
foreboding thai. Che yolksraad has resolved not
only to send a qualified refusal 20 confer with
the British authorities on the subject of the
franchise demanded for the British in the Re-
public but has authorized the Government to
call upon every inhabitant of the Republic, ire
speetive of the question of citizenship, 10 assist
'.in the defence OF the State in the event of
war" The attitude of the Beers is apparently
defiant The TransvaRl complication naturally
receives more extended notice in the speech than

In extending to President Diaz. Of Mexico, the

Citizen soldier. and statesman. He comes in
fraternal way 10 study manner OF life, TO
compare systems of statecraft and methods OF
manufacture, commerce, and production. His
chief objective point in commercial and trade
research will be Chicago. whose reputation has
gone abroad in commensurate ratio with her
rapid expansion and aggressive spirit of progress
sion. He does well to make Chicago an objset
lesson in commercial research.
But there are other American cities than Chi
cago which have much to offer distinguished a
visitor both pleasing to the eye and interesting
to the intelligence. Chief among these is Gin
cinnati, with her beautiful homes, her repOsi-
tories of art, her manufactures, and her public
enterprises. She has trade inducements that can
but appeal TO the merchant spirit OF Mexico.
