Georgia Will Send Mississippi Fugi-
tive to the Gallows.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 5-Governor
Longino has issued a requisition on the
governor of Georgia for Will Lanier,
one of Misslssippi's most desperate
criminals, who was captured few days
since at Newman, Ga, by tho town au-
thoritles
Lanier was to have been hanged at
Aberdeen on April Is last, but he broke
Jail three days before the day of execu-
tion and made his escape. Together
with his father and brother, George and
Jim Lanier, the trio murdered the Bid
die brothers in Monroe county about
two years ago. The murder was utterly
without provocation, as the evidence
showed. Win Lanier killed the younger
brother, lad barely IA years of age,
because he was crying over the death of
his brother, who had been shot from his
horse a few moments before.
After Lanier is returned to Mississippi
it will be necessary for the supreme
court to SET a new date for the execu-
ton. The case was affirmed by the
court at the last session. Governor
LonginO has refused to interfere with
the verdict of the court or to commute
the sentence to life imprisonment

Hopes For Early Adjustment.

SIN the meanwhile the occupation of
the ports on the Island of Mitylene is
more convenient from military point
of view, as the French cannot be easily
disturbed on that island, whereas
Smyrna, being on the mainland, its oc-

''The French government, however,
trusts that the whole difficulty will very
shortly be arranged to Its satisfaction
and hopes that the treaty stipulations
will be carried out by the issue of trades,
such as giving certain French schools
permission to open, which, thus far, has
been withheld, and also by giving Off
