1t is estimated by those who are most
conversant with Chinese affairs that
there are not less than eleven millions of
men who are members of this Society of
the Big Knife, and today the organiza-
ton rules nina almost as the Camorra
and Malta once ruled Italy. Unlike these
European societies, however, it's purpose
has not always been for evil.
originally the Society of the Big Knife
was a most reputable organization who's
only object@was to protect the province
OF Shan IuNg from the depredations of
bandits. For years it occupied this ex-
allied position, and then it began to de-
Scend the moral scale.
The Boxers began to attract foreign at
tention early last winter, when they for
mulated a series Of riots as a protest
against the Innovations thai European
influence and capital had inspired. They
did not approve of anything that savored
of foreign methods. To their mine the
old way was the best way, and they reg

creating disturbances n destroying
property.

AS practically no effort was made to
punish them, they gradually grew holder,
in December last they murdered Rev
Sydney Brooks, a Church of England
missionary, under the most atrocious
circumstances. Savages in the widest
frenzy could not have devised more hor-

the first step in their campaign, for since
that time many murders have been com
mitted by them.
Chinese converts to Christianity have
suffered more especially from their spite,

looted inc destroyed. Since last October

A teacher who has Just died in Wales
distinguished himself by helping a
bishop to make good boast that he
would be able to preach a sermon in
Welsh within three months of his con-
secration.
The pronunciation Of the double ''ll''
was q serious hindrance, and the teach
er gave counsel which proved effective:
place the top Of your right reverend
tongue upon the roof Of your episcopal
mouth and hiss like a goose"
The bishop made such progress that
the sermon was delivered within the
promised period in what was described
as excellent Welsh.

j. II. GlOzier, Ga Years Old, Gets Five
Years In the Pen.
J. Il. Glozier, white man Ga years
old, was convicted in the superior
court at Atlanta, Ca, Wednesday, of
assaultlng little Lizzie May Hudgins,
aged five years. The evidence made
the affair one Of the most horrible that
has ever been known in the city.
Judge John Gambler sentenced the
old man to five years in the penitenti-
airy. The jury recommended him to
the mercy of the court, but the judge
stated that the law did not allow any
such recommendation to be followed.
The Judge said that men had been
hanged in Georgia for doing less than
Glozier had done. 1t had been the
judges intention to impose a penalty
OF ten years, but in view of the re-
commendation he cut it down to five.

Mississippi and Louisiana Both
Suffer Enormously.
DEVASTATION IS ON ALL SIDES
Lands Submerged, Farm Houses
Washed Away, While Loss Of
Animal Life Is Appalling.

A special to the Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal from New Orleans under
date of April 20 says:
The food which commenced the
early part Of the week has already
caused, at a conservative estimate,
fully 100000 loss in central and
southern Mississippi, to say nothing
of the damages by the railroads. The
extent Of the losses have not yet been
fully realized, and it may be some days
yet before an accurate total can be
reached. For days mail communica-
ton has been totally cut off between
those localities which have suffered
most and the outside world, while
telegraph lines suffered greatly, so that
the news is just now beginning to ar
rive by wire.
In Louisiana, too, the damage done
by the unprecedented rains was great,
but in this state they are more infer
entail than positive. A special from
Columbia, Miss. ,. which was received
Friday night, fixes the loss in that lit
tie town and its immediate vicinity at
$500, 900.
Many farm houses were carried
away by the mad waters, the occu-
pants barely escaping with their lives,
and the number of cattle destroyed
was great. A great many gins and
mill houses were washed away and
many saw mills saw their lumber piles
melted away as if by magic.
Nearly every big bridge around
Columbia was swept down stream,

SKINNER ATTACKS BUTLER.
An Exciting Time at the North
Carolina POpulist COnYen-
ton In RaIelgh.

A special from Raleigh, N. c., says:

four years ago at q Populist state con-
vention created a great sensation by
bis denunciation Of Senator Butler,
and was crushed by the latter, repeat.
ed in the Populist convention Wednes-
day his attack and met the same fate.
Skinner was on the platform commit
tee, which had a five hours session.
The report of committee, indorsing
Bryan and directing delegates to vote
for him, was read after an appeal had
been made by Congressman Souther-
land, Of Nebraska, that North Carolina
Populists stand firmly by Bryan. Skin
ner suddenly rose and presented a
minority report like bombshell. He
cried out:
500 you want Bryan for presi.
dentP'
The first cry was ''No" Then came
"yes," and some cheers and a shout,
yes, il he accepts our nomination
first"
"Then," said Skinner, "if you are
honest men you want to 60 by honest
means to compass his election. Idon't
want any playing politics. I think
the dishonesty and fraud of Marion
Butler at this convention is as dis
graceful as the politics played by
Democratic State Chairman Simmons.
Again I say do you want BryanP"
There were again mingled cries OF
"no, eyes" "yes," eff he comes to
US straight"
Skinner moved the adoption Of his
minority report. 1t never got a sec
ond.
One delegate said Skinner was right
and the convention wrong. He de-
clared the platform would do the party
much harm.
Chairman Thompson replied to Skin
ner, while the convention oheered wild
ly. He Endorsed the platform; said he
had never pandered to the Democratic
party since he left it; that II Skinner
had grievance against Butler not tc
ask this convention to settle it, but 81
to Butler and settle it like a man. HI
charged Skinner with failing to get II
the Democratic convention.
On motion of Thompson, the plat
form was adopted by rousing vote.
Skinner left the stage. He sale

One of the least pleasant consider
atoms of the South African war for
Great Britain is the threatened or pos
sible danger to India from Russia.
Britain has to send to India $1,000
recruits every year to supply the nat

These recruits are now necessary for
the British forces in Africa. If the
army in India dwindles away, as it
must, and if Russia should become

British near Khyber Pass, nothing
could save the Indian Empire from dis
solution. And the Hindus look with

The Rev. DR.. William S. Rainsford
of New York City spoke TO Harvard
men recently on Courage" He said
in brief: "What the American man
needs is courage. America needs men
who see life sanely, and who have
courage to stand against the evil they
see. The first of the influence against
the American man is the easy way
America has won her high position.
The second is that cunning, deceit
and pull instead of the honesty and
strightforwardness of half century
ago, are the means of winning success. +"
