NEW GARDEN PLANTS.
From The London Globe.

From The London Globe.
The bulletin of miscellaneous information for
Kew Gardens, just issued. contains a list
cupying fourteen pages of print in double col
urnns of new plants introduced last year The
introduction states that the number OF garden
plants annually described in botanical and
horticultural publications, both English and for
eign is now so considerable that IL has been
thought desira BILE to publish complete list OF
them in THE Kew Bulletin" each year. The
list now published comprises all the intro
ductions recorded during 1900. These lists are
Indispensable to the maintenance of a correct
nomenclature, especially in the smaller bOtan-
ical establishments in correspondence with Kew
which are a rule, only scantily provided with
horticultural periodicals. Such a list will also
afford information respecting new plants under
cultivation at this establishment. many of which
will be distributed from ii in the regular course
Of exchange with Other botanic gardens. Tb@
present list includes not only plants brought into
cultivation for the first time during 1900 but
re-intrOduced after being lost from cultivation.
Other plants included in the list may have
been in gardens for several years. but either
We're not described or their names had not been
authenticated until recently In addition to
species and well marked varieties. hybrids.
whether introduced of garden origin. have
been included where they have been described
with formal botanic names. Mere cultural forms
of we'll known garden plants are omitted, for
obvious reasons IN every case the plant is
cited under its published name, although some
OF the names doubtfully correct. Where
however, a correction has appeared desirable,
this is made. The list contains about 30
plants.

as ii fell While the recent rains have covered
Central and Southeastern Kansas, they had not
touched the northern counties up TO within the

Chicago. July 2S-The drouth which has ex-

DISPATCHES from all over the State of Mis-
souri, prove that the long period of drouth and
excessive heat has been broken at last. Showers
occurred in many counties, and many towns and
villages in the State report that there are indi-
cations of good rains within few hours. While
il is the general opinion that the drouth is
broken too late to do corn much good yet farm
ers are thankful that stock water and pasturase
will be made and no further forced sales of

farmers are planting Kaffir corn. In others they
are ploughing for wheat. Estimates as 10 late

MOB WAS REPULSED.
Alabama Negro Fights Armed Men
With Scythe Blade.


DECATUR. Ala, Aug. 27.-With q
scythe blade Enoch Henderson, a negro
farmer of Moulton Heights, stood off a
mob OF 20 masked white men and prob
ably fatally wounded one of the mob
which had sworn to kill the negro.
The mob wanted Henderson, s life be-
cause of a difficulty between Henderson
and Noel Graham several days ago
Graham is laid up and badly hurt, hav-
ing been struck on hehead with brick
thrown by the negro.
Graham and the negro, whose lands
adjoin, had fallen out over a gate upon
which Henderson had placed a lock and
key. Learning of the difficulty and
Graham's condition, some of his neigh
bors became infuriated and it seems
plotted to visit revenge upon Henderson.
Henderson received warning of what
was intended from a white man who
had overheard the plot. He barricaded
himself in the attic of his cabin, armed
only with scythe blade, and awaited
the mOb's arrival about midnight
The mob attacked the house, firing
dozen bullets into it. They broke down
the door and started to the attic, one man
In the lead, with lamp and revolver in
his hands. Before this man reached the
head of the stairs Henderson claims to
have struck him full in the face with
the blade, welded with both hands.
The man fell to the floor and was car
ried away by the mob.
AS Henderson's fierce resistance
seemed to have repulsed them, they
went away swearing they would yet
kill Henderson and the white man who
had warned him.
Officers visited the place and saw the
bullet holes in the house and large pools
of blood in the house and yard, show
ing the man to have been desperately
wounded. They are investigating and
believe they have located the member
of the mob wounded by Henderson.

ABDUL HAMID WILL
NOT COME TO TERMS
Therefore France Has Served
Diplomatic Relations.
CONsTANs LEAVES TURKEY

The French Government, 1t Is Stated,
VIII Take No Further Steps In the
Matter, but Will Wait For the Sui
tan to Move.
PARIS, Aug. 27.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press was informed
today from the best source that the de-
parture of M. Oonstans from CONSTANT
nopIe, in the circumstances, is tanta-
mount to partial rupture of Franco
Turkish relations.
Munir Bey, who is in Switzerland,
will be informed that the French gov
ernment does not desire him to return
to Paris. The current affairs of the two
embassies can be carried on by the
charges, but all negotiations Of polltl-
cal nature will be entirely suspended
until the sultan yields to the French
demands.
The French government holds that
the Sultan has broken his word. He
had promised full payment of the long
standing indemnitles to the Frenchmen,
amounting TO IL, 100000 francs, but at
the end of last week declined to pay the
full amount, and offered a reduced sum,
which was refused by M. Constans, who
waited until yesterday and then de-
parted.
The sultan made a final attempt to
induce him to stay. M. Constans had
left Therapia on board the Vautour for
Stamboul, where he was to take the
Orient express. A court chamberlain
the sultan, begging M. Constans to re-
turn to Therapia, and promising that
every thing would be satisfactorily set
tied. NJ. Oonstans declined to return,
declaring the time for promises was past
and that it was for the sultan to fulfill
his undertakings.
The French government will take no
further steps III the matter, but will
wait for the sultan to move. 1t is
thought the sultan will not allow the
present situation to last long.
