WE DO IT RIGHT
 EMPIRE LAUNDRY.
M'K|NLEY CAN'T
 GO ID MEMPHIS And Thus a Much Discussed Question is Settled Later
 Visit Promised

Washington. March 1.-The President will not be able to visit Memphis during the annual Confederate reunion, May ZS 29 and 30. He also informed the Memphis delegation which called upon him this morning and expressed regret that he could probably not accept their invitation as he contemplated a trip to the Paclhc coast to be present at San Francisco on May IS at the launching of the battleship Ohio. [
 He told the delegation positively how ever that at some future time, when convenient to the city and himself, he would visit the Bluff City.
 The formal invitation was extended to him by Gen George w. Gordon of Mem phis. E. J. Darlington also extended an invitation on behalf of the Mayor and legislative council of Memphis.
 The delegation waited on Secretary Long and requested that gunboat be sent to Memphis during the reunion. The secretary asked Senator-elect Carmack at some later date to communicate to him in writing on this subject, and if it were possible he would comply with his request.
 It is possible the Nashville may be as signed to this duty.
 The delegation was unable to see Sec retary Root to ask for a battery of Na- poleon guns, because he had just gone to the cabinet meeting.

RIGHT HOOK PUT
 JIM SCANLON OUT
Dan Creedon Got in Some Good Hard JoItS onJimmie's
 Jaw

Hot Springs, Ark, March 1.-Fifteen hundred people witnessed the fight to- night between Dan Creedon and Jim Scanlon. It was to have been 2O-round contest, but 1t lasted less than five rounds and there was no time after Creedon put a left hook to Scanlon's jaw in the beginning of the first round, that the latter had a chance to win. He was game however, and did his best, but was altogether outclassed, both in points of weight and generalship by Creedon.
 The fight was under straight Marquis of Queensbury rules
 Scanlon was knocked down twice in the first round taking the full time to get up. Creedon played for the jaw, and landed rights and lefts repeatedly during the round.
 Scanlon succeeded in landing several times on Creedons face in the first round, but did no damage. Scanlon was terribly slugged in the second round and knocked down three times. In the third round he landed several good blows, but was terribly punished in return
 The fourth was Scanlons round, be- cause he managed to hit Creedon several times and take less punishment by keep ing away from him. In the fifth Scanlon came up groggy, and was disposed of in short order. He was knocked completely out with a right hook on the jaw.

THE TWO ROADS
 AGAIN FIGHTING
B. L. & N. 0. and Southern Cannot Come to Terms
 Over Selma Crossing

Selma, March 1.-(Special) )-The proto- col of peace between the Southern and the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans Railway in the vexed crossing matter negotiations for an amicable settlement were ended, the Washington authorities of the Southern refusing to ratify the proposed agreement.
 Now the war has begun again and the two roads are watching each other with hawk-like eyes. The Southern has had two engines fired up and dispatched to the point of the proposed crossing and the old tactics of having one engine pre- cede and one follow each train, thereby keeping the crossing effectually covered, has been started again.
 The Birmingham, Selma and New Or leans, however, is not going to use force this time in putting in the crossing. It has served notice on the Southern that a petition will be filed with the chancellor praying that the injunction be dissolved that was granted pending the appeal to the Supreme Court from the decision of the Probate Court in granting an ease the Southern.
 What the next move will be is not known, but each road is playing it's cards carefully and only after extensive legal advice.

MOB DID NO VIOLENCE.
Albert ShenkIe Was Marched To the
 Court House and Sentenced.

Carrollton. Ills, March 1.-Guarded by four companies of State militia to pro- tect him from a mob determined on lynching, Albert Shenkle, who, on De- cember 23 last, criminally assaulted the 16-year-old daughter of Charles H. Giller of Carrolton, was early today taken from the county jail al Springheld, placed on a special Chicago and Alton train and brought to Carrollton. Through streets lined with silent spectators he was hurried to the courthouse.
 An hour after the arrival of the train, Shenkle had pleaded guilty, had been promptly given an indeterminate sentence by Judge Owen Thompson, and was on his way to the Southern Illinois peniten- tiary at Chester,
 Although threats of lynching had been freely made by the citizens of Carroll ton, and although the streets and grounds around the jail and courthouse had been practically patrolled by an armed mob, determined upon using summary meas ures ever since it was announced that Shenkle would be brought here for trial, there was no disorder attending Shen- kle's arrival and departure. Apparently nearly the whole population of the town gathered around the depot and along the streets leading to the courthouse, but the troops forming a cordon around the train as soon as 1t stopped and surrounding Shenkle when the latter, heavily shac- kled and accompanied by Sheriff Conlee alighted from the train prevented any hostile demonstration If any had been planned

THE CABINET RESIGNS.
But They Will Be Qualified as Their
 Own Successors.

Washington, March 1.-At the cabinet meeting today, the last under this Presi- dental term, all of the members pre- sented to the President their resigna tions, to take effect upon the qualitica- tion of their successors
 Attorney-General Griggs, who is the only member who has decided not to re- main during the coming four years, was among the number, and his renomina- tion will go to the Senate with the others on Tuesday. He will not serve longer however, than about April 1, when, it is now believed, MT. Philander c. Knox of Pittsburg. will receive the portfolio
 The cabinet today talked over the Gu ban situation and Secretary Root read telegrams from General Wood \ to the effect that in his opinion the Cubans would soon be convinced that the action of Congress in fixing the relations which should exist between Cuba and the United States was for their interests as well as our own, and would accept them without serious objection.
 The cabinet discussed the action of the Senate with respect to treaties now pend- ing in that body and general regret was expressed at their impending failure.

BIRMINGHAM MAY
 LOSE CONVENTION
Meeting of International Typo graphical Union May be
 Held Elsewhere

It is probable that the next convention of the International Typographical Union will not be held in this city. It will be recalled that at the last meeting Birn- ingham was selected as the ..lace for holding the annual convention this year.
 Last December a strike was inaugur- ated by the union printers employed In number of the leading job printing of fees in this city. No settlement of the strike has yet been effected and the men are still out.
 It is for this reason that the next con vention will probably go elsewhere On account of the strike, whereby a large number of men have been out of employ ment for two or three months, the local printers will not be able to properly en- certain the visitors should they come here.
 However, unless the local union re- quests the officers of the International Union to order the convention to be heli elsewhere, 1t will come here. This will not be done if 1t Is possible to avoid it.

GREAT BRITAIN
 IS SICK OF WAR
Report of General Botha'S Sur render Was Received With
 Apathy in London

New York March IA dispatch to the Herald from London says
 'The report of General Botha's sur render, which had meant the virtual close of the Boer war, were received with remarkable apathy in London.
 For seven days past the newspapers have been full of discussion whether the opportunity for such surrender was not thrown away after the fall of Pretoria, but the public care little or nothing about the controversy. Everybody is sick of the war, and of the rehashing of an- cient history. Even General DeWet's puzzling movements are scarcely inter- esting, while the statement of the hun dredth time that he has been cornered ex- cited little more than derision.
 "The announcement of Botha's sur render caused just a ripple of excite ment But, although the event caused semblance of a rush on the Stock Elk chage to buy Kaffirs, it quickly subsided when it was seen that the public was holding aloof for official confirmation
 Around Pail Mall and in the vicinity of the War Office there was plenty of interest however. In fact. the number of callers for news recalled the old days when the war was young and Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking were still be- sieged
 "The first replies far from dispelled the belief that the news was true. h. quiries recalled the fact that important news frequently arrived long before the War Office was willing to confirm it. But another consideration qualified this be- lief, namely, the official reticence in the past when 1t referred to bad news, and that If Botha had really surrendered, no doubt the War Office would be too eager to proclaim it instanter."

coNTAeloN AND INFECTION.
LaGrippe Is Infectious But Not Con-
 taqous.

Conta s1ous diseases are communicated from one person to another; infectious diseases are conveyed through the air Smallpox is a contagious disease; La Grippe is infectious. When an epidemic of the grip is prevailing 1t Is in the ar we breathe and no one Is safe.
 The only safeguard Is to keep the sys- tenn in the highest possible condition of health and on the first appearance of cold in the head to use some safe anti septic like Stuarts Catarrh Tablets free lv, a tablet taken every hour or two for couple of days Will De sufficient to break up the attack.
 La Grippe attacks the weakest part of the system, it may be the lungs, heart, liver, stomach or kidneys, but wherever it finally locates 1t almost invariably starts with cold in the head and throat or in other words. the disease at tl.e be- ginning is acute catarrh.
 This Is the reason Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets have been so successful in breaking LID attacks of grip. The antlseptic prop critics of the remedy destroy the germs before the whole system Is thoroughly infected.
 pr. Anniston says: Stuart's Catarrh Tablets being free from cocaine and harmful drugs, should be freely used at this time of year on the first appear ance of grip symptoms.
  cretions, stop the fever and prevent pneumonia.
 They are composed of antiseptics and may be used by little children as freely as by adults and with great benefit. pr. Lewiston says: My usual prescrip- tion for the grip is Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets which can be found at all drug stores, keep to the house for day or two and use the tablets freely. and I have rever heard any complaint of failure to cure,

.CHAFFEE'S FORCE
 WILL BE REDUCED
Orders Have Been Sent from War Department Carry
 ing Out U. s. Policy

Washington, March 1.-Carrying out the policy inauguarted by the State Depart ment when 1t changed it's military force In China into a legation guard, the War Department has sent orders to General Chaffee to still further reduce his force.
 The general now has under his com mand about 1900 men, composed of Troops l, K, l. and NJ, Sixth United States Cav airy; Battery F, Fifth United States Ar tillery and the Ninth Infantry. AL though nominally a legation guard, Gen eral Chsffee's force is of rather torniid- able offensive quantity and not desirous of retaining an unnecessary menace to the Chinese court and in order to ho.. out inducements for it's early return to ekin, the United States government some time ago determined upon a further reduction of the American force and the orders have gone forward.
 Considerable discretion was left to Gen eral Chaffee in the selection of the troops to remain and it is assumed at the de- partment that the Pekin dispatch ah- nouncing that these consist of two com panies of the Ninth Infantry, under Ma jor Robertson, is correct.
 If the other powers represented at Pe- kin can be induced to follow this policy, it Is hoped that a long step will have been effected toward the restoration or normal conditions at Pekin
 It is said at the War Department that the arrangements have not yet been made for bringing away the troops from Pekn, and it is believed that this can- not be done before the ice clears out of the Pei river which Is usually some time in the latter part of March.
 The troops are to go to Manila, thereby making good the losses which General MacArthur's command will sustain by the withdrawal of the volunteers who are coming home to be mustered out. It is looked upon at the War Department as probable that General Chaffee, who will leave Pekin with his troops, is to re- lieve General Macarthur of the supreme command in the Philippines.
