ENGLAND REJOICES.

"Majuba avenged" "Cronie sur
renders" Great British victory,
were some of the expressions shouted
all over London Tuesday, yet there
were few outward signs of the natural
Joy that Lord Roberts dispatch really
caused. The capitulation of General
Cronje had been looked upon as almost
n certainly for a week past and enthU-
siasm found itself discounted by an
ticipation.
The magnificent success of Little
Bobs" is almost overlooked in the fact
thst it synchrOnized with the anniver-
soy of Majuba hill and wiped out a
:aIshonor of nineteen years standing.
There was q much more outward
display of rejoicing in the provinces
than in London over the surrender OF
Cronje. The Glasgow and Liverpool
stock exchanges were greatly excited
The members sang God Save the
Queen" repeatedly and cheered fol
Little Bobs." Flags were literally
displayed on the municipal andPublc
buildings in all the large towns.
While the afternoon papers all com
mented upon this happy coincidentr

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
Atlanta Baptist ministers Accuse
State School Commissioner of
UNCONVENTIONAL Partially.


At the regular iceeting Mond>J
morning, several membe.-E Of the At
lanta, Ga, Baptist Ministers confer
ence jumped on State School Commits
sioner Glenn for alleged discrimina-
ton.
The matter was brought up by Rev.
S. Y. Jameson, corresponding secre-
tary of the state mission board, who
stated that he had learned that the an
nual report of Commissioner Glenn in
enumerating the different schools and
colleges of Georgia ignored Mercer
University, Cox college and several
other Baptist schools in the state.
Mr.. Jameson thought such an error
should be corrected and brought the
matter to the attention OF the Atlanta
ministers. The statement was as if a
bomb had been thrown into the peace
full and quiet meeting and much feel
ing was manifest by the speakers who
followed Mr.. Jameson.
There were two or three members
of the board of trustees of Mercer uni
versity present, aud upon their prom
Using to make an immediate investiga-
ton the conference decided to take no
action in the matter for the present.
State School Commissioner Glenn
was attending q meeting of educators
in Chicago, and could not be seen re-
garding the charges made at the min
listers meeting.
Assistant Commissioner Woodall,
of the department, who is familiar
with all the executive business con-
nected with the publication of the re-
port, when asked, said:
81 am surprised at the charges of
the Baptist ministers. There is not,
nor has there been, any discrimination
for or against any denomination in
the management of the affairs of this
department. Moreover, Commissioner
Glenn has always sought to prevent
any such occurrence in the admins
trstion of county school affairs"

not been recovered.
Williams was arrested Saturday on
a charge of general disturbance of the
peace by Sheriff Stuart Hoaro Water
ford and the St. Johnsbury deputy
and taken to st. Johnsbury, VT, to
be lodged in Jail, but, owing to the
fact thatOthe sheritfs had no warrant
for such an action, the prisoner was
removed to Waterford and left tenn
porarily in the hotel under the charge
of keepers.
Some time during the afternoon he
broke jail and took to the river bank.
The keepers gave hot chase and ar
rived in time to see the prisoner
plunge into the stream. About mid
way across he went down for the
third time, and the next thing seen
was his cap, which went floating down
the river. Search is still being made
for the body.
Williams was native of Lyman.
