Rewards offered for Capture of the
Murderer Hose

Atlanta, Ca, April 1S.-Rewards ag-
gregating one thousand dollars are Of
fered for the arrest and delivery to the
sheriff of Campbell county of Sam
Hose, the murderer and rapist. Gov
ernor Gambler today doubled the states
reward of $3.50 and issued a special
proclamation today urging sheriffs and
authorized officers in the state to make
every effort possible to capture the ne
gro who is now being pursued by hun
dreds of men and the best b~loodhounds
that can be secured.
The Atlanta Constitution offers a re-
ward of $500 for Hose and in its issue
tomorrow will say in part:
Georgia is an agricultural state.
Her people are forced to the isolated
life of the farm and as the farmer goes
about his daily labor, he rust leave
mother, wife or daughter in the lonely
cabin to await his home coming. Are
they safe? The answer comes from the
humble home in Campbell county,
where an Industrious citizen who bore
his part toward family and state, was
brutally murdered by the negro whom
he had given food and employment, and
his wife assaulted"
In several churches in Coweta county
| prayers were offered yesterday for the
capture of Hose and infection of a pen
atty which is to be in keeping as far as
possible with his heinous crime.

THE PROSECUTION CLOSES
Its Case in the Indictment of ex.Sena>
tor Quay

Philadelphia, April 19.-Unexpected-
ly to almost every person interested,
the prosecution in the trial of ex-United
States Senator Qauy for conspiracy
closed its case today, after nine days of
argument, clashes of counsel, and tes-
timony largely of an expert nature.
b end came at 2 o'clock, just one
hour before the usual hour of adjourn
ment, and, after a brief consultation
among counsel for the defence and
Judge Biddle, the latter adjourned court
Quay's lawyers might have time to con
slider what they shall take with
respect to th -sentation of their side.
1t was s~tatesNChat the question of enter
ing demurrers to the prosecutions evil
dence or proceedings with the taking
of testimony will be decided by the de-
fences counsel tonight. From the evil
dence already presented it is apparently
evident that the commonwealth de-
ponds largely for conviction upon the
testimony of it's expert, Meyer Colds
mith, as to his Interpretation of the ac-
counts in the red book and other
books of the Peoples bank, and upon
the jury's opinion of the books, papers,
letters, kilograms and checks offered in
evidence.
The contention Of the defence in ar
gument and cross examination has been
that the calculations of MI. Goldsmith
are not borne out by the books, but, on
the other hand, show that Mr.. Quay
did not use state money, nor receive
interest on state deposits, and that
whatever loans he received were made
in the customary and backed
by sufficient collateral.
Today's proceedings were devoid OF
sensational features Mr.. Goldsmlths
cross examination was concluded and
redirect examination was begun by
Mr.. Rothermel. The points brouhgt
out by him were that the cash account
and interest account of the bank were
| deficient by the commission of certain
sums received as interest; that it was
customary to designate call loans by
initials instead of names.
Upon the question of Mr.. Quay's BAL
| ances in the deposit account from May
1896 to October 1897, Mr.. Goldsmith
said: I'm 1896, on June 23rd, the bal
ance was $2.56; ON November oath
81. Y .66; on November 2Sth, again
1886: in 1897 on January 7th, so cents;
on October 26th $40, 00O.50; and on Oc-
| tober 9th so cents; at which it remain
ed until the end of the month. Those
are all the variations from April 3Oth
1896 to October 31st, 1897.

warm reSponS in this great q
his majesty, the emperor, has deigned
cere thanks to all those who have sent
his imperial majesty the expression Of
their sentiments with regard to SO
highly humanitarian an achievement
In Fastening to fulfil this order of
my august master, I beg your excellen-
cy to be pleased to accept the assur-
rance Of my highest consideration.
Secretary Hay entertained the Sa-
moan high commission at lunch at his
residence at 1870 o'clock today. 1t was
the first time the members of the COM
mission had come together, and while
the gathering was quite informal and
ting acquainted, yet it affords an OPP
p~ortunity Of discussing the Samoan
tpic in its general phases.
The commission will be off on its mis-
sion tomorrow. The members will
make no effort to keep together on the
way to a Francisco. The members
are making plans to be gone about
four months. They will return togeth-
er to Washington and their respective
reports, as we'll as their joint conclus-
ion, will be framed here sometime in
the early autumn.
The instructions to the commission
ers have been completed. They are
dllhC Ill dill ESSCIlIldI ICSptClS. 1itN
were summed up today by one of the
high commissioners, substantially as
follows:
POWERS OF THE SAMOAN COM
MISSION.
The commission is given complete au-
thority to carry on a provisional gov
for Samoa. In doing this, the
instructions carefully prescribe the
preservation of order and the security
of life and property as a first requisite.
1t is provided that the duties of all
officials heretofore exercising authority
in Samoa shall be suspended in order
that the high commission shall have
complete authority over the affairs of
the island. The commission is required
to make report upon a variety Of
things, including the recent collisions
and the causes leading up to them;
also, as to h administration Of the
islands, the rights Of the several claim
ants to the kingship; also as to what
changes are desirable in the methods
provided by the treaty of Berlin. The
instructions call for unanimity in all
actions by the commission. The &C.
ton taken by the commission, when
unanimous, is to be conclusive, with
out referendum, except when it SuS-
ponds a provision Of the treaty Of Ber-
lin. In that case also a provision of
the treaty may be suspended by unani-
nous agreement of the members, but
the suspension is ad referendum, and
is not finally binding until the three
governments approve or disapprove it.
h exact extent to which the treaty
a be temporarily suspended is not
quite clear, n one Of the commission
ers said today that it would require
consultation among the commissioners
to make this point certain. The in
structiOns are broad enough to include
the recent troubles, the bombardmen
fighting, arrest of a German citizen,
etc, SO that these acute phases, as well
as the general government of Samoa,
will be adjusted without further con
f1ict between the three governments.

Four smallpox cases were yesterday
sent to the pest house. Three new
cases were discovered this morning.
Some negroes are undoubtedly hiding

the negroes regarding smallpox is amaz-
ing. They say that it is not smallpox.

physicians are now at work vaccinat-
ing at the city's expense. The board
ofh ealth met at noon today to con-
slider the question of compulsory vac
cination. The walking case OF small
pox has not yet been arrested.
The indexing Of the public laws OF
1899 is progressing quite rapidly. There
will be 1000 pages Of the public laws.
superintendent H. F. Frazer of the
Nova Scotia institution for the blind is
inspecting the institution here.
There is a different line of argument
in each of the suits for office which
are now before the courts. In the case
Of the Atlantic and North Carolina
railway the question of part state and
part private ownership enters. In the
case Of the keeper of the capitol the
question is whether the board of pub
Tic buildings can appoint him for a
liked term when the law does not spec
lfq any term.
The Trinity college base ball tear
played six games during it's tour in
the south and lost only one Of them.
The annual New Era" negro state

will continue four days. There are
many speakers.

During the presentation ceremony,
strict orders had been given to keep all
outsiders from the vessel. Just as the
ceremonies commenced William j. Bry-
an came down the pier with several

over on the Raleigh's launch on the
suppOsitiOn hat he was n of the

cheering until Mr.. Bryan stepped up

terest and admiration.
After a close scrutiny of everything
to be seen, Colonel Bryan was taken
aft and introduced to the presentation
| party. He chatted with several ladies
and then returned ashore where the
crowd had increased in numbers and
enthusiasm.

Government Weekly Crop Report

Washington, April 1S.-The general
weather conditions of the week ending
April 18th have Leen exceptionally ia
vorable for farming operations and
crops throughout the country, with the
exception. of the extreme northern Pa
cifc coast region, where the week was
cold and wet, and over Arizona and the
southern portions Of California and
Utah, where brought con- 'nues to pre-
vail. The week has been by far the
most favorable of the season, and rapid
progress has been made with farming
operations which have been much de-
layed as a result of the unusually back
ward season.
The reports generally indicate quite
a decided Improvement in winter wheat
as compared with the unfayorable con-
ditions reported at the close of the pre-
vious week in the principal winter
wheat states east of the Rocky noun
tains. Good growth is also reported
in Oregon, and the prospect of heavy
crops in California continues excellent,
while the outlook in Washington re-
mains unfavorable, due to continued
cold and wet weather.
A little cotton has been planted over
the northern portion of the cotton belt.
Over the southern AMI central portions
planting has been vigorously pushed
during the week, and the early plant
ed is coming up over the southern por-
ton of the east gulf states. In south
ern Texas cotton planting is nearing
completion and good stands are report
ed. The early planted is coming up in
central Texas, and planting Is well ad-
vanced in the northern part of the
state.
Some tobacco has been planted in
South Carolina. Plants in North Car
Dina and Tennessee are small and
healthy, but have been damaged to
some extent by frost in the latter
state. In Virginia and Kentucky the
plants are small and late. In Maryland
and Indiana some plants are UP. A few
beds have been seeded in Connecticut.

WHY 1T IS GAMBLING.

A correspondent asks us why The
INDEPENDENT "has picked out the
proposed Kihei plantation as being
manipulated for gambling purposes"
From the somewhat insulting tone
of our correspondent we, fear that
he has been "bitten," and naturally
contributes the cause Of his misfor-
tune to The INDEPENDENT, and all
those who endeavored to stop the
reckless gambling in stocks. which
did not yet exist.
