BOASTS THE SHERIFF
LONGING ON THE CARRoLLToN
 LYNCHINGS.
He Says the Members of the Mob Will Be Made to Feel the Hand of the
 Law.

Jackson. Miss. Aug. 2.--In an official statement today. Governor Longino deplores the Carrollton lynching and says every effort will be made to bring the members of the mob to justice The Governor says he wired the Sher- If of Carroll County to protect the prisoners at all hazards and ordered one company of militia at Greenwood held in readiness to move on short mo- tice. Although the Governor asked the Sheriff to call for troops. if he was una ble to protect his prisoners. be says the Sheriff did not reply to his tele- gram. The Governor continues:
 Failing to hear from the Sheriff, l communicated with Judge Stevens over the telephone. and he informed me that the situation was hourly grow ing more serious. but that the Sheriff declined to call for troops because he feared that when the mob became ap- prised of such request 1t would be- come more nasty and precipItate in its work of lynching. and that the Sher- if feared also that there would be trouble between the soldiers and lynch CTS should the militia appear on the scene. In the absence, therefore. of request by the Sheriff for troops and being without authority to send them to CarroIlton unless called for hv the civil authorities. I notified Captain KessIer and the railroad company at Greenwood that 1 would have no need for their further services.
 'I made enquiries for the sheriff but did not ascertain his whereabouts du- ring my stay in Carrollton. I was in- formed that neither he. his deputies nor any possee, or guard summoned by him made or offered any resistance to the mob I further learned that inc mob was in possession of the keys to the jail and took the prisoners with ont injury in any way to the prison, but did not ascertain how the lynchers caure in possession of the keys. Those. actually participating in the crime could perhaps be identified by the tes- tinony of two or three hundred citi- zens present and not participating, in cIuding the Circuit Judge. the District Attorney. sheriff and County officers and members of the bar resident in Carrollton. and l cannot therefore think that public sentiment in favor of the enforcement of law has become SO dead as to tolerate such an outrage upon the law. such an insult to the court and such barbarity to human ity.

YuAN's PROCLAMATION.
Missionaries Are No Longer Privi- legged Characters.

washington, Auug S.-@The State De- partment has received a copy or a rs- markable proclamation issued by Gov ernor Yuan of Shan Tung, on June (. denfiing the relations that must exist between the magistrates and the Chris tian natives. The proclamation deals with the subject in language so erier- setic as to make 1t evident that the Chinese magistrates will not allow the missionaries to exercise the same in- fluence as heretofore in local affairs or in any other than religious matters in the future. Governor Yuan states that he has received many reports from Chinese officials that unworthy members of the church were practicing their religion simply for the protection which 1t affords them, and were light ly setting aside the law of the land and seeking occasions for quarrel. and that such affairs were daily increasing ir numbers"
 In reply to appeals to have the for eign consuls and missionaries devise method for checking the trouble. Gov ernor Yuan demands to know why his sub- officials have not obeyed his pre- vious instructions requiring them 10 administer exact justice without regard to whether the offenders are Christians or not. He points out that "the mis- sionarieS are merely preachers or r0- ligion They have no authority what- ever to interfere in the affairs of the Chinese people nor any power to exer- else official functions. as everybody ought to know" Therefore the Cover nor snjoins his magistrates to make no distinction between church and people; to let no one else presume to exercise his authority for controlling the people. Says he:
 ''The most important matter Is that justice should be done to both sidegS It makes no difference whether the peo- pie annoy the Christians or the Chris tians annoy the people. let there be clear distinction made between the crooked and the straight. and 1t will then be impossible that any occasion for interference should arise"
 He concludes that should people in- suit Christians because they practice their religion the officials must rigor- ously suppress the disturbance. while on the other hand should a member of the church drag In his religion, when his suit is one that has nothing to do with Christian matters and the mis- sionary force himself into the case for the purpose of interference, then the magistrate should not hesitate 10 con- trovert and reprove. as the facts of the case may justify. and deal with the case according to right reason"

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
No Quarter Will Be Given by Either
 Side.

Pittsburg, Aug. 3.-"It will be a fight to the finish. No quarter will be given. We are prepared to spend all the time and money necessary to wipe out the Amalgamated Association in all of our mills"
 This was the message that came over the wires from New York to local off cials of the United States Steel Cor poration this afternoon. Officials were waiting long after the usual Saturday afternoon closing time to get word from the conference in New York be- tween the Executive Board of the Amalgamated Association and the gen eral officials of the big trust. Two mes sages came. The first stated that the conference had adjourned between the workers and Mir. Morgan after receiv- ing his ultimate decision in the mat ters in dispute. An hour after this time a second message came to Pitts burg announcing to the steel officials here that the Executive Board had de- cided that they would not accept MT. Morgan's terms.
 The second message contained The statement also that appears above. Some of the officials heard the message with misgivings. Others with uncon- cealed satisfaction. One of the off cialS left his office declaring that he was Bld0 or IL. Inc WBnL WOulQ sure ly be carried to finish and the cor poration would once and for all be freed from the influence of the union men.
 At the headquarters of the Amalga- mated Association, there was no one about. All of the executive officers be- ing in New York at this time, no one was present to look after the interests of the strikers here pending their re- turn. Organizer Flynn of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor was about the headquarters during the morning, and one or two of the striking steel work CTS, but they only remained short time. Intense interest was shown in this matter by the men. The only re- gret heard among the strikers who were about, were that President Shaffer had temporized with the trust officials so long. While the workers are them selves ignorant of the general plans of the organization regarding the ex- tension of the strike throughout the union mills of the trust. they are con fident that the general strike order will be issued in a short time.
 That the officials of the United States Steel Corporation have been preparing for this battle was made apparent dur ing this afternoon. It was learned on the best of authority that an attempt is to be made at once to break the
