The proclamation OF the Washing
ton Government in regard to the
registration OF foreign built vessels
by Hawaiian authorities, emitting
such vessels to all rights and privi,
leges of Hawaiian vessels, is as
vague and misty as any other pro-
clamation or provision issued from
the headquarters OF Mckinley in re-
gard to Hawaii. The proclamation
is dated September 10th, 1899, and
states that hereafter such registra-
ton shall cease. Does that mean
that the ukase OF Gear Mckinley
goes iuto force after the 18th of
September, or is it the intention that
cases now pending in our local
courts shall be dropped and the pc
titioners be refused registers and
lose their legal expenses and costsi

Black Plague in New and Deadly
Form

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49,
The plague has appeared in the
Russian province of Astrakhan in
a new and alarming form, accord
ing to report to the State De-
partment from Consul Heenan at
Odessa. He says that it takes the
form of most malignant and
fatal pneumonia, yet, according
to diagnosis, is but an obscure
manifestation of the true buboniC
plague.
BUENOS AYRES, Sept. d.
Many cases of genuine bubonio
plague have been found at Asun
cion, Paraguay. Thirty deaths
have occurred since September
10th.

It must be very humilia ting for
man like Admiral Dewey, who un-
doubtedly is bright naval officer
who knows W hen ard how to do his
duty, to be used az center place in
the theatrical exhibition OF patriot
ism which his wealthy aud noisy
compstriots have arranged for his
reception in New York. The admit
raj must feel cheap when he, who
has studied the wars OF our century,
is called the greatest hero OF mo-
dern times. He has read OF Nava-
rino, Trafalgar aud Copenhagen,
and he has studied the wars which
have ravaged the world since the
year 1900, and we feel sure he never
wished to compare that miserable
fight at Manila with a dsmoraized
and ruined feet manned with in
different and incompetent men to
the heroic battles OF Trafalgar,
Copenhagen, Navarino and Heligo-
land. His victory at Manila is on
par with that OF the Japanese feet
over the Chinese feet in the recent
war. 1t was an unequal match and
it is pleasant to notice that the ad-
miral acknowledges that fact while
he is forced to take part in show
distasteful to him, and a matter OF
ridicule to his countrymen.

Accordingly, exercising the powers of
the judge, he took possession OF the prop
orty on Lamar street in the name of the
United States Court, and appointed Mr..
j. A Ansley, Jr., as the custodian of the
court until the United States marshal shall
reach here and take possession. The
referee further ordered that the sale of
the stock of goods by Sheriff Macarthur
should not take place on Monday, IS adj
vertised The conflict of jurisdiction be-
tween the two courts promises 10 be in
terestng, and the outcome will be closely
watched.
An important step was taken yes erday
in the celebrated decision of Judge Emory

which decision was rendered sometime
since and caused much comment through
out the South.
Judge Alien Fort. counsel for AL the
bankrupts who We're affected by this de-
cision, left for Huntsville, Ala, with an

Carnival PreparntiOns-Raisin Okra
for PrOht-Other Matters.

Americus. Ga, Aug. H.-Extensive prep
aratons are being made for Americas
big carnival on September p and 10, and
thousands of visitors are expected here to
see the sights. Street parades day and
night will take place and many gorgeous
floats will be in line. Many prominent
Northern and Western concerns VIA have
floats in the trades display. Bands Of
music viii enliven the situation, and all
manner of amusenents for the entertain
rnent of visitors will be provided. The
railroads have named a uniform rate Of
50 cents from all points in this territory
within seventy-1ve miles of Americas
and immense crowds will doubtless come
to the carnival
Ezekiel Henderson, an Americas negro,
captured an immense ratuesnake yester-
day near the city limits, and will keep il
as a pet The snake is seven feet in
length and has eighteen rattles. 1t is a
hideous monster, and will probably weigh
sixty or seventy pounds. Ezekiel Hen
derson is q grandson Of Moses Henderson
of Americas, famed for eating snakes,
cats and other queer animals.
Thomas Broadfield, a thrifty farmer liv-
ing near Americus, is harvesting a crop
of six acres of oNra, probably the largest
acreage ever planted in Georgia. Mr..
Broadfeld has a contract TO deliver 5000
hounds of seed okra to a Richmond, Va,
seed house, and will easily gather this
quantity from his patch. Last year ne
raised a solid carload of pearl millet seed,
which he sold in the North a good prices.
Mr. Broadtield finds that this kind of di-
Iersified farming pays better than whole

ROONEY MAY co TO THE GANG.
Persists in Selling Liquor in spite OF
Heavy Fines.

Augusta. Aug. 27-Chris Rooney's place
was pulled again to-day for selling liquor
on Sunday. 1t was only Wednesday that
he was fined $500 for the same offense and
put on notice by Judge Eve that next time
he would he sent to the chain-gang with
out the option of paying a fine.
This is a singular case. Rooney has paid
more than $1,000 in fines for this offense
IN the past year or two. The Recorder
increased his fines steadily, and after the
third or fourth oftense in short succession
the city forfeited his license He has gone
right ahead in spite of this, and in pro-
nouucing sentence on him last Wednos-
day Judge Eve said: you not only violate
the law against keeping open a tippling
house on Sunday, but every day you sell
liquor you violate it by selling without
license
Mai william r. Gary made a plea for
clemency saying that Rooney had just
had a talk with him and promised him
most solemnly that he would not violate
the law again. In spite of this statement
to and by counse, and in defiance of Judge
Eyes warning IT is alleged that he IS
again guilty on the very next Sunday.
Rooney was at one time doing a large
shoe business in Augusta, and is an OK
member of the Chy Council For the past
few years he has been conducting a
general store in the southern part Of the
city with bar attached, and has been be-
fore the authorities repeatedly for violat-
ing the liquor law. In the opinion Of
many he Is crazy on this subject though
he is rational on all others. There will be
general interest In the community con-
corning the outcome OF to-day's arrest.
