notify me that they should be removed" No such notice ever came to me- I informed now that the prisoners there have been supplied with proper and sufficient clothing and food. Now the daily attend ance of physician has been secured.
 You will perceive by reading section 4525 of the Code that the court of county com missioners boards of revenue of the several counties have the power to remove the county convicts from any place and terminate the contract of hiring whenever any convict Is treated cruelty or inhumane- ly by any hirer, and 1t was because these courts had such power that l directed that copy of Dr. Blakes report be trans mitted to the probate judge of each county that had any convicts employed at that place. Respectfully,
 JOSEPH F. JOHNSTON, Governor.
 The report of Dr. Blake sets forth that the convicts in Dogwood mines were in- sufficiently clothed and poorly fed, and that their sanitary surroundings were such as to seriously threaten their health The re- port brought forth a joint resolution from Mir. Clarke of Mobile al the afternoon ses- sion raising a committee of five, three from the House and two from the Senate to sit during recess and investigate the convict system of the State. This resolution will be reported favorably and passed.
 MT. Halls of Fayette presented a bill amending the State pension laws. The amendment changes the law to this ex- tent: All Confederate soldiers who did not desert the service who are unable to earn a living by manual or mental labor and whose property does not amount to more than one thousand dollars, and whose in- come does not amount to more than two hundred and fifty dollars per annum shall have the same pay as class two, as now provided by law.
 MT. Hague of Perry brought up the ques- ton of feeding prisoners in a bill present. ed today. The bill provides that in jails where there are less than twenty prisoners that the daily fee for feeding shall be thir- ty cents; more than twenty and up to thirty, twenty-five cents; more than thirty, twenty cents. Measures of this nature have frequently been presented to the Legisla- ture, but have never received sufficient for paSSaPe

MAY YET RESULT IN
 A CHINESE VICTORY

London, December 1.-(3:30 a. m)-The Spectator, in striking article dealing with the Chinese crisis expresses the opiu- ion that the most recent developments at Pekin foreshadow Chinese victory over the allies "The quarrel has been brought to the test of force," it says, "and force on the civilized side has proved insufficient. This result Is mainly due to the attitude of Russia and the United States. If China escapes with the payment of small in- demnity and many promises on paper, as seems not unlikely, since Germany and Great Britain may not be willing to incur the expenditure and risk involved in per sisting in their demands, 1t will be equiva- lent to a victory for China, for nothing has occurred to convince the Chinese that their mighty Emperess had been defeated or that Europe can avenge any future maSsacree."
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Morn ing Post writing yesterday, says:
 Despite the cordial reception given Ad- mral Seymour, the situation is unchanged. The Hankow Viceroy refuses to stop send ing supplies to the court unless the Nankin Viceroy will also refuse; and the latter, al- though he undertakes to send no more arms, says he must continue sending sup plies so long as the Emperor requires them
 Tn fact, all our remonstraheeS amount to a miserable farce.
 we have no courage to do more thaR to talk. In the Chinese theatre here the al- lies are represented by soldier with an enormous mouth who does nothing but talk until his career is ended by decaplta- tion."
 'The Japanese consul here," says ths Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail, "acting under instructions from Tokio, has withdrawn his assent to the consular proaf- lamation forbidding the importation of ar ticles used in the manufacture of war arti- cles. This action has caused general sur prise. It is rumored that the Chinese are actively purchasing arms and ammunition

BOASTS FRANCE.
Japanese Prince Enroute Home From
 Paris Exposition.

St. Paul, Minns, November 90.-A Winni- peg special says:
 "The Japanese Prince, Komora, enroute home from the Paris exposition, was inter- viewed here. He says:
 "The French are great fuzz-fuzz people, who get very much excited and want to fight somebody. They are not ready to fight anybody any more than Spain was if the truth was known. Their army Is very rotten, so far as I can judge. In case of war England cau always count upon Japan because our lftereSts gre iGcnt1ca., and because we know that Englishmen always win i'll the end.
 ''rhey may be beaten and beaten and all other people say England is no good but we notice they never care to take hand in the game, and by and by the English comes out on top. That's why we like them English trade In oriental countries Is about two-thirds of tho whole trade"

MAN SUPPOSED
To Be Ex-Governor Moses of South
 Carolina Held.

New York, November 3O.-Charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, man representing himself as Dr. William A. Ferguson, formerly of Galveston, Texas, but who is alleged by the police to be ex- Governor Moses of Charleston, South Caro- lima, was arraigned today before United States Commissioner Shield and held in bail of $1000 for examination on Thursday next
 The prisoner is said to bear a close re- sembance to the notorious South Carolina governor of "Carpet-bagger" fame, whose record is in every police headquarters in the country.
 "Dr. Ferguson was arrested on Tuesday last on complaint of Dr. Jardman who al- legged that Ferguson had swindled him out of a small sum of money and was contin- ua1ly annoying him. The Federal authori- ties wish to send his to Washington, where he is wanted on charges of swindling.
 Dr. A. H, Shands of Washington appeared against him today.

ROUGH TREATMENT
Accorded Mormons at Temesvar, South
 Hungary.

Vienna, November 9O-Advices received from Temesvar, South Hungary, record the rough treatment received there by two Mormon elders, emissaries from Salt Lake City, Utah. The two elders had guardedly commenced to enunciate their views on polygamy, when the audience stormed the platform and elected the pAir from the hall. One of them was compelled to run the gant- let of three hundred irate citizens armed with sticks, straps or knotted cords and slhod with hob-nailed shoes. He was after wards stripped to the waist and thrashed by half d dozen matrons of Temesvar.
 The second Mormon was ducked in a horse pond. Finally the two elders were rescued by the police.
 The minister of the interior here pro- hdbited further Mormon attempts to proselyte as being a danger to the well-be- ing of the state.

 The Shanghai correspondent of the Times, wiring yesterday, says:
 Reports of uneasiness at Tien Tsin con- tinue. Chinese regulars and Boxers are believed to be returning to that district se- cretly, and renewal of trouble is feared when the port is closed for the winter.
 Ut Is alleged that the Kalgan expedition met with reverse and it is believed that a party of Germans who were cut off were obliged to abandon their dead and wounded"
 On the other hand, Count Nfn Waldersee yesterday telegraphed to Berlin that the German co.umn was returning from Kal gan and would continue to march under General Gayl."
 A similar reverse had been previously ru- mored and denied at Berlin.

GOVERNOR JOHNSTON
 WILL VACATE OFFICE
He Will Turn Over the Affairs of Executive Depart
 ment to Capt T. D. Sanford at Noon Today

tomorrow is because further information is desired of Republican members generally in reference to this bill. Such features of the measure prepared by the Republican members as have become known, together with omissions which the committee has granted in the proposed reductions, have caused considerable opposition, and 1t is probable that conference or caucus of the Republican members will be held before a final decision Is reached. The greatest op- position that has developed comes from the brewing interests. The fact that at present only sixteen are in the city warns the Re- publican managers that bill must be sup ported by practically the entire list of Re- publican members in order to pass.

 Military incompetence will be alleged,and the Statist will aver that military harsh- ness should be avoided and the Boers be concliated.
 If men like Botha and Dewet voluntarily surrender and bind themselves not to act against us in the future," the Statist will say, Ifs there any good reason why I promise should not be given not to send them out of the country? J. B. Robinson suggests that Botha and Dewet should bo invited to take seats In the legislative council that will be established. The sug- gestion is worthy of approval.
