SOUTHERN NOTES.

Mr.. James Barrett, who has for several
years been prominent in the Populist par
ty in Georgia, member Of the Executive
Committee, an elector to the National
Convention, and candidate for the agri-
cultural commissioner on the State tick
ct, announces his return to the Demo-
cratic party in a signed article in the
Augusta Chronicle, in which he takes
the position that men, who are opposed to
the Republican party with reference to
trusts and imperialism, must no longer
divide over bubbles, but must all unite
and that the Democratic party is the
only organization that can hope to cope
successfully with Republcanism.

A correspondent from Montgomery, Ala,
says: There is now about 81 100000 in the
State treasury. Under the laws of Ala
bama the State treasurer is not permitted
to deposit any of it in banks. but must
keep it in money in the vault in his office.
The currency and gold are kept in a
time-lock safe in the vault and the silver
is packed in canvas sacks and piled about
in the vault. Two watchmen keep guard
of the treasury during the night. 1t will
be some months before any considerable
amount of the money can be disbursed
The State is financially in a better condi-
ton than for very many years past, and
the condition Of the treasury is improv-

BOXERS BARBARITIES
None More Hellish Could Have Been
 Devised.

Vancouver, B. C.. Nov. 15.-Under the sanction and with the approval of the United States minister and officers commanding the American troops in Pekin. George F. Tewksbury has been prosecuting inquiries. dictating terms and arranging indemnities in the vil- lages around Tung Chow.
 Tewksbury's report says his inves- tisations brought to light cruelties of the mos. hellish and barbarous de- scription, practiced upon the native converts in that neighborhood by the Boxers. Some Of the Christians and all their relatives and connections shared in whatever punishment was meted out to one.
 Some were buried alive. others burnt at the stake, and still others were first saturated with kerosene and then set on fire. A Belgian Roman Catholic priest had strips cf flesh cut out of his limbs and the holes filled with kero- sene, which was then ignited.

THREE EANGINGs TODAY
The Ealdemaus at Tombstone and
 Ortiz at Yuma.

Without interference, which cannot now be foreseen, three men will die on the scaffold in Arizona tcday-William and Thomas Halderman, at Tombstone, for the killing of Ted Moore nearly two years ago, and Santiago Ortiz, at Yuma, for the murd r of William s. Moffatt at Harrisburg last August.
 The Haldeman brothers were sen tenced to be hanged last August. In the absence of Governor Murphy from the territory, President Mckinley granted them reprieve of sixty days. Shortly before the expiration of that time Governor Murphy extended it un- til today in order that the reliability of a mass of afIidavits bearing upon the case and collected since a hearing of it in the territorial supreme court, might be carefully investigated. This has been done and the governor finds him. self unable to interfere further.
 The greatest interest in this case lies in the fact that the machinery of the state of Texas, the former home of the Haldeman brothers, has been employed to save them. The influence of many of the foremost men of the United States has been enlisted, and it is said that Governor Roosevelt and Hon. Tim othy L. Woodruff of New York, joined in the appeal to the president for the reprieve which he granted last August.
 The friends of the brothers have been working unceasingly in Washing ton and it Is possible that they may secure presidential interference against the tragedy of today. It is hardly probable. though, that they have done so. otherwise the executive office here would have been informed of it. No such notice had been received last night,

Stanford University. Cal, Nov. b. Dr. Jordan today said: "In regard to the resignation of Dr. Ross it is right that l should make a further state ment. There is not the slightest evi- dence that he is q martyr to freedom of speech Nor is th5 re any reason to believe that his withdrawa has been due to any pressure of capital or any other sinister influence. I knew that Mrs S.anfprd's decision was reached only after long, earnest consideration and that its motive was the welfare of the university, and that alone. To quote her own words. My decision has not been the result Of any nasty con- clusion, but of disappointment. refec- tlon and prayer
 Dr. Ross made the following state- ms1t: "Dr. Jordan knows vastly mcr c than I do as to Mrs. Stanford's tmo- tiveS, and whatever he says is con- elusive as far as am concerned. In my original statement, which was care fully prepared and is strictly correct, Eaid had long been aware that my every appearance in public drew upon me the hostile mention of certain pow erful persons and interests in San Francisco and redoubled their efforts to be rid of me.
 'I state this lest it should be thought I did not realize the risks Iran. If. as Dr. Jordan says. it was not pressure, but other motives that influenced Mrs. Stanford. I am glad to know k. It Is absolutely certain. however, that free dom of speech is involved, net my ap- pearance, personality or character, but solely my non-partisan scientific utter anceS have been the root of Mrs. Stan ford's distrust of me.
 Referring to Professor Ross dis missal Dr. Howard today, addressed his class in history upon the matter and his address forms the most sensa- Tional tatement that has yet be5n de- Avered. The entire hour of the class was given to the discussion of free speech Dr. Howard arTaigned the influences that brought about the dis missaI of the professor, whose contri- buttons to science had done so much to elevate the standard of instruction in the university.

MIR. BRYAN's STATEMENT
It Possesses Elements of Interest
 Though None of Importance.

Washington Nov. 15.-Mr. Bryan's positive statement before it was posi- lively known that the republicans had obtained control of the Nebraska leg islature that he would under no cir cuInstances be a candidate for the United States s5nate and the fact tat Gilberl NJ. Hitchcock was mentioned as the probable successor of Senator Ihurston let to the inference that Mir. Bryan may have made an agreement at the tlm5 of Senator Aliens appoint ment that if he GMr. Bryan) were de- feated for dhe presidency he would not become a senatorial candidate.
 William V. Allen was appointed sen atcr by Governor Poyntsr on the strength CT a telegram from MT. Rr.ya n asking that the appointment be made. The appointment of Mir. Allen inter- fered Wgth the political aspirations of Gilbert M. Hitchcock editor of the Omaha Wcrld-Herald, who believed ne was entitled to the seat. MT. Hitchcock sulked and wrote a letter for publica- tIon in which he talked about the in gratitude of friends and otherwise fnti- mated that his old time crony, MT. Bryan, had thrown him down." That bit of sulHiness continued for a few days and suddenly ceased MT. Hitch cock gave as an explanation of his re- newed cheerfulness the statement that MT. Bryan had agreed with him that if the democrats Were unsuccessful in the national contest, but carried the Ne braska legislature, Mr. Bryar would not seek the s5natorship. hut woulC favor the election of Allen and Hitch cock.
 Dr. Hall chairman of the state dem ocratic committee of Nebraska, said that MT. Bryan old net make any such promise, and he was sustained by d great many of Mir. Bryan's friends who have not favorsd MT. Hftchcock's can didacy enthusiastically, believing that the state and the party would lose greatly by not sending MT. Bryan to the sznate.
 During the campaign MT. Bryan re- fused to make any statement in re- gard to the senatorial controversy. The statement, which came from Omaha as soon as it was known that Mir. Bryan was defeated was evidently sent out by Mir Hitchcock as the opening gun in his senatorial campaign. MT. Bryan's s late personal statement and the cer- tainty that the Nebraska legislature will be republican end the matter

WAR TAX REDUCTION
President COnsuItS Ways and Means Committee Chairman
A New Schedule to Be Submitted to Congress Early Next Session. The Revenue Has Become Ex. cessive.

Washington, Nov. 15.- Sereno E. Payne of New York, chairman of the house committee on ways and means, was at the White House today to con- fer with the president on plans for the revision of the war revenue law. MT. Payna's committee will meet in Wash ington on November 20, and the work of revising the taxes is to be under taken i--in5 diately after. It is expect ed t!,z new schedule will be in shape to submit to congress early in the ses- sion.
 The president will begin work on his message in a few days and a practi- cal Understanding of the extent to which it is proposed to reduce the war schedule is to be reached between the president and the ways and msans committee before the message is trans mitted ito congress at the opening of the session.
 More or less work on the proposed re- vision of the law has been done since the close of the last session. Informal conferences have been held bstween the committee members and members of the administration. so that to great extent the less Important details for the revision are well understood.
 Congressmcn Payne would give no indication today to what extent the revision Of the law would go. It is rot known, therefore, whether it is pro posed to repeal practically all the war revenue act or to amend it, so that many of lhe more important and ob- noxious stamp taxes will be abolished. The extent of the revision will depend on the status elf the public revenues and the amounc of money required for running the government in tha future. At present the taxes are bringing in a revenue far in excess of the needs of the government.
 Representative S. E. Payne of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee and republican leader of the house, speaking today on the proposed reduction in the war revenue taxes, said he did not believe that the reduc- ton would exceed $15, ,000, eco, or less than one-fifth of the present revenues from that source. Much, he thought, would depend on the state of affairs in the Philippines when the bill came up for consideration. If considerab ble army had to be maintained there for any length of time it might be wise not Ito cut ths revenue too closely.
 There were, however, a number O. items in the present law that might be wisely eliminated, and those would receive altteTtion.
