NEGROES BROUGHT BACK.
They Were Sentenced to Hang, But
 Appeal is Taken.

Savannah, Ga., March 90.-The five ne- groes, Augustus Hudson, Bolden, Sam ders and Davis, who were taken to Screw en County Thursday to be hanged Fri day for the murder of two deputy sher- ifs and for whose protection the Cover nor held Savannah and Sylvania troops in waiting, were returned to the Savan- nah jail tonight for safe keeping. An ap- peal to the Supreme Court has acted as a supersedas, suspending the sentence. There was much talk of lynching and relatives of the murdered parties gath cred at Sylvania murmuring at the laws delay. When 1t was learned that the supersedas was operative the officers of the law spirited the five men to the train in the midst of a rain storm and brought them to Savannah. It is learned that there was movement on foot to lynch the men tonight, but their surreptit1ous removal to this city prevented the con- summation of any such purpose.

"Princess Chic"

Kirk La Shelles new comic opera, ''The Princess Chic" in which Marguerite Syl- va will be seen and heard at the Jefferson Theatre next Thursday, is given an en- viably high rank among present lyric compositions. Since the days of Beranger no spot has been more favored by the humorist and librettist than Normandy, that delightful region of sunny France, where the bailiffs are all wits, the peas ant girls pretty and the wine the sweet est in the country. This is the district chosen by Kirk La Shelle as the locale for the story of "The Princess Chic The melodies were written by Julian Ed wards. The authors of the opera have endeavored to supply an interesting story surrounded by the glamor and romance of mediaeval days, music of melodic form but devoid of senseless jingle and com edy that is legltimately incidental and consistent with the locale and period.
 "The Princess Chic is in three acts, two of which are laid in the courtyard of the Duke of Burgundy's chateau and one in the grand hall of the same mag nificent edifice. The story of the opera is a simple one, Princess Chic, ruler of the province of Normandy, Is affianced to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, neighborng possession. The princess learns that King Louis XI is trying to trick Charles of his duchy and takes it into her madcap head to thwart the royal plans and at the same time find out what the duke thinks of her by visiting him disguised as her own envoy. What she learns is not assuring to her vanity, for, although she Is the most desired of all the beauties of her province, the duke cares less for the charms of women than he does for war and the chase. Piqued at his indifference. the princess dresses as peasant girl and contrives to be rescued from a pair of brigands( whom she has paid to attack heD by the duke him. self.
 The ruse bears fruit, and the duke falls head over heels in love with her. He will not hear to her proceeding on her way until morning. Thus the duke has two guests, an envoy and peasant girl. For the furtherance of her scheme the princess determines to again assume the guise of her envoy. As such she is dis covered by the duke coming from the peasant girls room. This Is serious busi- ness, and the envoy is lodged in a dun geon. The rest of the story tells of her escape her overturning of the kings de- signs and her final appearance as the Princess Chich in royal raiment. The duke recognizes her as the peasant girl whom he had made mistress of his heart and all ends merrily.
 Marguerite Sylva, the star is support ed by Joseph c. Miron, Hubert Wilkes, Frederick Knights, Walter A. Lawrence, Thomas Leary, Neil McNeil, Agnes Paul. Isabelle Underwood and a number of others A big chorus Is carried. The seat sale will open at the box office of the theater Tuesday morning.

The rare thing about him Is that when he sinks the comedian for a time In the singer, as he does in the quaintly rhythmic 'Peddler' s Song he is as effective as In his broadest comedy. It Is, however, the absurd de- tective that is the point of main attrac- ton, and in this he Is endlessly amusing. The chief points that strike one on first hearing are the completeness and sumptuousness of the production, the un- usual number of clever singers and play CTS in the cast, the superior quality and musician-like finish and style in most of the music and the extraordinary life and energy and go infused into the whole performance,"

 General Lees Speech.
 The guests drank to the health of Gen eral Lee standing.
 
 eloquent Upon his departure for the southwest he said he felt a kindly feel ing for Omaha, whose citizens had prov en themselves most hosptabe during his official residence here. The general spoke of the redeeming characteristics of the American soldier and was applauded heartily after an eulogium pronounced upon General Funston for his late ex- ploit in capturing Aguinaldo, which, he said, was but another strong illustra- ton of the daring bravery of the volun- teers In the Philippines.

 ''The name of your distinguished guest is so essentially part of the history of this nation that I am impelled by sense of gratitude to revert to it. The name of Lee is associated with every impor- tant epoch in our history. It Is among those that appear on that immortal docu ment, the Declaration of Independence. It Is in the catalogue of American states men and patriots and in our international complications it is ever found on the muster roll.

THB LESSON OF THE TRAGEDY.

The springs of action which ter
minated in the shocking and revolt
ing tragedy at Buffalo last Friday
may run back to the dismember-
ment of Poland. The young man
who fired the shot which laid tho
president of the United States low
was not born in Poland, but Polish
blood is in his veins and doubtless
Polish traditions have affected his
life. Some old strain of the patrio-
tism of that unhappy country and
of the hatred which long oppression
and hoary wrong engendered among
its people may have survived in
this son of an unbalanced woman
to fire his imagination and send
him forth with the slumbering pas
sions of his race kindled to flame
ard with murder in his heart.
The mad dog cry has already
been raised and in it's tumult and
fury all soberer appeal is lost. The
tragedy is deplorable in every con-
ceivable view. 1t is deplorable that
any human being should be shot
down in cold blood. It is deplora-
BILE that high officer Of the govern
ment should become the victim Of
maniac's malevolence. 1t is de-
plorable that the nation should be
shamed and disgraced by a deed
that no charity can excuse. But
more deplorable than the deed is
the spirit Of anarchy which it has
aroused even among men Of sober
mind. Senators of the United
States, gray-headed men Of long
experience, catch its fatal infection,
forget civic order, cast aside the
traditions Of their country, de-
preciate its institutions, disregard
its laws and its safeguards Of liber-
| ty, aud with primal ferocity appeal
to that same spirit Of force without
reason which impolled the assassin
to his deadly work. - Johnsiown

Last Public Uttcrancc OF Mckinley a
Plea for Free Trade.

Had it not been for his sad and
sudden taking off, the chances are
that FIX President Mckinlcv's Buff
falo speech would have raised such
a storm about his ears as he had
never experienced before-uot even
over his Philippine policy. For,
in that speech he advocated rccipro-
city, not incidental reciprocity but
reciprocity as a settled policy, un-
der which forei gn goods were to
be admitted at much lower rates of
duty from countries that should be
willing to return the compliment.
This was the eX-PreSidcnt $ panacca
for extending American markets,
and enabling the producers of this
country to dispose of the immense
surplus of goods for which the
United States has not sufficient con
sumption
Mckinley's Buffalo proposition
was, in fact, Il most distinct and
decided step on the road towards
free-trade; and it was received with
amazement by the protected in
dustries Of this country which had
counted on Mckinley above all men
to support what has oeen called
the "Amerlcan system of protec-
ton and which Mckinley's name
has been espcally identified since
