JUNGLE SAM UNDECIDED.
No Course Has Yet Been Decided
 Upon.

Washington April 1.-To what extent the United States will take cognizance of Russias disposition to enforce the signing of the agreement has not yet been made apparent. It appears to be the policy of the Chinese authorities to consider this a subject which concerns the powers quite as much as it does Chi- ma. The matter has become further com- plicated by reports reaching Washington that the Chinese authoratfes themselves are divided on the course to be pursued. some of the most influential, including u Hung Chang, urging that acqniescence be given to the Russian proposals, while oth- CTS insisting on rejecting the agreement. The attitude of Li Hung Chang Is ac- counted for by his well known friandlinesa for Russian interests. In this case, how ever there appears to be arrayed against him the strong influence of the southern Vtceroys Chan Chi Tung and Lia Kun Vi. who oppose the signing of the treaty.
 The reports reaching here this morning showed that the agreement bad not yet been signed. Its status is most peculiar. The time within which 1t was to have been signed expired last Tuesday, but on that day Yang Yu. the Chinese minister hurt his head, SO that he was unable to transact business. This misfortune has caused much amusement here and some irritation in certain quarters, as It has been recognized as a most timely means of avoiding a direct issue on tne subject. It Is not clear to what extent the Russian fntimation has gone, but in any event 1t gives an urgency to Chinass course which has not been presented thus far.

GORMAN ON THE
 SUFFRAGE LAW
Says the ignorant Have Only
 Themselves to Blame
PROTECTION WAS NEEDED
Ignorant Negroes Have Been Used By Politicians-Declares the Party Has No Apology To Make
 for It's Action.

New York; April 1.-Ex-Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland in an interview regarding the recent political legisla- ton enacted at Annapolis, which appears in special from Washington, says:
 If there are many illiterates in Mary land who will be affected by the passage of the present law they must blame them selves We have had the most perfect system of public schools for thirty years of any state south of Pennsylvania Since 1870 the colored population have been ample time to learn to read and "rste by means of schools furnished by white taxpayers of Maryland. And if after years of honest effort on the part of the white people in supporting these schools, there are, as is asserted, 26,000 of them who cannot read or write, the fault can be attributed only to their lack of de- sire to obtain knowledge. If they prefer to remain in ignorance there Is no way to compel them to learn unless the in- ccntive to vote may hereafter encourage them to attend schools.
 "The Maryland people would have no trouble in regard to suffrage provided it was confined to legitimate residents of the State, or the persons who have inter ests there but the exclusion of colored persons from participation in elections in the Southern states and we believe the systematic efforts of certain employers to obtain cheap labor have been the means of bringing great numbers of un- desirable colored men into Maryland who have no interest in cur community and possibly do not possess sufficient intel1i- gence to enable them to vote without aS- sistance. They have been used, how ever, by the politicians and threaten good order in the State The Democrats o Maryland intend to protect the Stat | against such inroads with all the attend | ant ills that have followed in the walk | of this immigration, aud we have no apol l ogies to make for our course"

THE CITY IS IN SORROW

Mobile, April 1.-(Special) )-Detectiv Edward Morris. who was shot Sunday af- ternoon while attempting to arrest two negro fugative convicts, died tonight at s:2s o'clock, after suffering terrible pain during the intervening hours.
 Dr. Rhett Goode, whose practice has brought him into contact with the police, turned over his practice to another phy- sician early this morning and gave his whole time to attending Morris Morris sank continuously, however, despite all the attention given him. ...
 About o'clock in the afternoon it was announced that all hope was gone, and the friends of Morris were allowed to see him. The scene at the bedside was more beautiful and pathetic than can be imagined. Morris knew he was dying and when friends would try to cheer him with hopes of recovery, he would say No, l am going nothing can save my life now"
 He suffered terribly, but spoke to those at his bedside until the end. At BPS he gave a gasp, muttered good bye every body" and passed away quietly.
 The entire city Is sorrowing tonight, for no one was better known or more beloved than Ed Morris, familiarly known as ''The old guard,' his courage and lack of fear were admitted. he having been tested on many occasions. In his connection with police work he has arrested some famous desperate characters. He was a native of Mobile and aged about 57 years. In his younger days he worked on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and entered the police department about twenty years ago. Since then he has been steadily with the police . and sheriffs department. He was an old voluntee fireman, member of Neptune No. ?. He leaves a wife and one adopted child. The funeral will take place Wednesday.
 Police patrol wagon driver John H. Bressingham, who was shot through the lung, is resting quietly but tonight fever has arisen which may change the tone of his condition. A fund Is being raised for the benefit of the families of the officers, which has already reached large proportions.

 ouS Wound

St. Petersburg, April 1.-The trial of Peter Karpovitch, the assissin of M Bo goliepoff, the Russian minister of public instruction, who has been sentenced to twenty years penal servitude with a loss of civil rights, was strictly secret. Ad mittance was only by card. Among those present were the ministers of Justice, of the interior and finances. Only fifty cards were distributed.
 Karpovitch spoke for an hour regarding the student troubles under Bogoliepoffs s supervision. The prisoner characterized Bogoliepoff, whom he knew as the cura- tor at Moscow in 1896, as "the baleful spirit of reaction
 Karpovitch declared that he was indif- ferent, when shooting, whether Bogolie- poff would be killed, desiring in any case to infict a dangerous wound.
 The prosecuting attorney described Bo- goliepof as a. noble officer
 Counsel for the defense, M. Turchanoff, pleaded for a milder punishment, declar- ing that severity was unable to effect anything in a struggle with ideas and idealists who joyfully sought martyrdom for their president.
 The court deliberated fort twenty-five minutes and condemned karpovitoh to twenty years at hard labor In Siberia and loss of all civil rights
 The police are continuing their inquiry into Karpovitchs connection with the general revolutionary movement in Rus sia.
 Lieutenant General Viasemiskl who pro- tested against the conduct of the police and Cossacks in the recent riots, has been excluded from the imperial council, of which he was a member until the Czar by special ukase restores his privileges. The prince has gone abroad.
 Advices from Kieff show that the dis turbance there on March was a dan gerous affair. A few students and many working men participated in the out break The military were called out in large force and fired on the rioters many of whom were injured The students of St. Petersburg have issued a procfama- ton protesting against the Intentionally untrue" report of the police on the last riot A majority of the released prisoners have been ordered to leave St. Peters, burg within three days. They will not be permitted olive in St. Petersburg or Moscow

iron furnaces in Alabama, nearly half a million of mineral lands in the State, one steel and rail mill. one rolling mill, over fG30 coke ovens and other similar indus trial plants.
 The Tennessee Company for Q long time has been the sreateet industrial corpora ton In the South. and until the formation of the United States Steel Corporation the largest producer of pig iron in the world. With the organization of the Sioss-Shef- field Steel and Iron Company two years ago that company's capital stock was brought within $3, eco eco of the Tennessee Company's. The combined capital stock of the two companies is about s43, 009, coo
 The properties of the Tennessee Compa- ny are located in Tennessee and Ala bama, by far the greater portion of them being in Alabama The company owns twenty pig iron furnaces, seventeen in Alabama and three in Tennessee; 42S, GAS acres of mineral lands in Alabama and Tennessee, divided as follows: In Ala bama-Coal lands, 256,7S1 acres; iron ore lands, 31 ,S19 acres; miscellaneous lands, 2S, ,014 acres; total in Alabama, ,614 acres. in Tennessee-Coal lands, 46,s17 acres; iron ore lands, 6576 acres; undeveloped mineral lands, 5S, ,42S acres; miscellaneous lands, 213 acres; total in Tennessee, 112,- 034 acres.
 Combined Properties.
 In a handsome book issued the latter part of 1900 the Tennessee Company gives it's capacities in the different lines per an- nun as follows;
 Coal, 5,700,o00 tons; coke, 030 tons; iron ore. 2.640.Oo0 tons; pig iron. 1.25o.oG tons; steel 312.00O tons rolling mill prod uct, 60,oG0 tons; ircn foundries, 4,0o0 tons.
 Five of the pig iron furnaces are at En- sley, five at Bessemer. two in Birming ham, two at Oxmoor, three at Sheffield and three at South Pittsburg, Tenn.
 The Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany own between 15o.Ooo and 100000 acres of mineral lands in Alabama. over 1Ooo coke ovens and seven pig iron furnaces. Two of the furnaces are In Birmingham, two at North Birmingham two at Shelf field and one at Florence.
 The annual capacity of the seven fur naces is about 5OoOOo tons, of the coal mines about 100000 tons. of the coke ovens about 100000 tons and of the ore mines about 100000 tons.
 Combining the figures above, 1t will be seen that the combined plants would have a capacity of about 1,750.00o tons of pig iron, nearly 5000, 900 tons of coal and about 2,2OoOOO tons of coke.
 The consolidated company would make four-afths of the iron manufactured in Alabama and mine considerably more than half of the coal output of the State.

Nothing Short of an Ultimatum-WilI
 Use Force.

Washington, April 1.-Information has reached here to the effect that the Rus sian government, being seriously per turbed by the course of China Is not signing the Manchurian agreement, large ly because of protest made by the sew eral powers, has conveyed a distinct and unmistakable indication to China that if this course is persisted in there may be an interruption of diplomatic relations between Russia and China and a termina- tion of the present intercourse between them.
 This is little short of an ultimatum that China must sign or take the consequence of termination of her friendly relations with Russia.
