AN ARMED
A Mysterious Man In Quitman COun.
ty Wants Revenge.

Another armed and mysterious
stranger is at large in the woods be-
yond Georgetown. In appearance he
resembles the man who was killed two
weeks ago. He is similarly armed and
apparently desperate. He claims to be
the brother of the dead man, and
swears vengeance on those connected
with the death of the other desperate.
At the time of the killing there was
said to be another stranger about IN
the woods. Since then he has gone
about among the negroes announcing
his intention of reveuging himself on
those responsible tor his brothers
death.
Saturday he came to Mr.. Warren's
place and hung about for two or three
hours. Sunday he made another APP
pearance. As 1T happened Mr.. Warren
was not at home either time, no doubt
a fortunate occurrence for the stran-
ger, Some more developments are eX,
nected over there.-Eufaula Times.

The affairs of the Manhattan Steamship
company. which, after making u rower-
full bid for eastern business was forced t.
withdraw from the transportation field
here, are now icing arranged by the in
solvenoy court In New York sity. This
shows that the venture was losing one.
The company never ran beat to Port
land. but kept promising to do so, and
had piers engaged.
1t is said that business opened fairly
well but 1t had run of hard luck which
probably FASTENED the failure. 1t was
under hsavy expense all the time. Several
of it's steamers had to have extensive re-.
pairs. and one of them, the we'll remem
bered Pentagcet Of the Bangor line, was
lost with all hands in the gale of Noyem-

The HAauE coNEERENCE.

The Hague, July 1D.-The third COM
mittee Of the international arbitration
conference met today. M. Hourgeoise of
France presiding. At the opening of the
sitting the Roumanian, Grecian and
Servian delegates jointly moved thn total
suppression OF the tive articles relating TO
International courts Of inquiry. ID. Beidi-
man, the Roumanian representative, was
their spokesman, and addressed the COM
mfttee for an hour. He claimed that the
proposition for conrt OF inquir. was not
contained In Count Muravieff's circular
and was contrary TO the principle OF ma
tional sovereignty. Roumania, he said,
would gladly pledge to the rest of the ar
filtration scheme, hut 1t was impossible to
fulfil these and other obligations. Cav
laier Descamp, the Belgian delegate, and
Prof. Martens, Russian, defended the ar.
ticies which were finally passed on first
rsading, the three protesting states record
Ing their objection.
In the interval between the meeting of
the third committee and that of the draft
ing committee which was held later,
strong efforts were made to effect a COM
promise as regards the motion for tn @
suppression Of the I've articles relating TO
International courts of inquiry us the
kounanian delegates had made certain
remarks not palasable TO the delegates
OF the powers.
At the meeting OF the drafting commit
tee, Prof. Martins demolished all OF NJ.
Beldiman's arguments. he said that, as
everything had been dons TO protect the
weaker states against the stronger. the
former thus Obtaining shield-the com .
mission OF inquiry proving this-he was
willing to make some further concessions
in the way OF making the matter more
optional. These Concessions were accepted
BY the. small powers and the proposal
passed Its second reading. The arbitra-
ton scheme will probably be passed en-
tirely tomorrow.

SHAMROCK HAD BEST OF 1T.

Cowes, July I9.-Shamrock, the cup
challenger, easily defeated Britannia
again today.
The course as originally planned was
not completed. When off Southsea, the
Britannia signalled that the Prince of
Wales had an engagement in London
and requ, sted that the race be consid-
cred over. The Shamrock was then II
or Is minutes ahead. She was imme-
diately turned homeward and directly
aftcrward grounded on a bank outside
Horse Foot Fort. She remained fast ten
minutes when she was safely and easily
towed off and back TO Southampton,
having sustained apparently no damage.
AS was the case yesterday the Sham
rock showed her superiority very soon
after the start was made. Beating to
windward she ran away from Britannia
and again put about in 10 seconds.
Britannia occupied II seconds in the
manouvre. The whole performance
again showed that the challenger Is far
ahead of the Britannia.
