 MAY RESULT Russian Admiral A|exef is Con- stanty Causing Trouble HAS NO LOVE FOR ENGLAND He Never Loses an Opportunity to Thwart Great Britain, and Such !. Actions May Yet Cause
 War.

London. March 1s.-The Tien Tsin cor respondent of the Standard says
 The railway dispute here is another of the attempts of the Russian admiral, Aiexeff to create trouble, and unless he is relieved there will be constant fric- ton. which will eventually lead to hos tilities. He loses no opportunity to thwart the English.
 Commenting upon its Tien Tsin ad- vices, the Standard reminds Russia that "the British fleet is as potent as ever and Japan is burning to second the efforts of anyone ready to oppose the annexa- tion of Manchuria," adding:
 '1t is a painful task thus to be com pelled even to hint at contingencies so vast and disturbing, but the perils of the moment are more likely to be over come If 1t is thoroughly realized that we do not shrink from such action as would be best calculated to maintain ouI rights"
 The Daily News says:

FATAL RESULT
 0F EXPLOSION Three Persons Dead and Many
 Injured on Steamship AN AMMONIA TANK BURST
Fifteen Persons Were Overcome by the Deadly Fumes, But Nearly All of Them Have Recov.
 ered-Shaft Broken.

New York, March 17--The steam ship New York reached her dock at 10 o'clock tonight after a passage In which ex- plosion of an ammonia tank and broken shaft caused loss of life and much dam age to the vessel
 As result of the explosion fifteen men were overcome by the fumes of ammonia on Thursday morning last and so seri- ously prostrated that two deaths fol- lowed. Both victims were buried at sea. Several others were confined to the ship hospital for some time and one was still in the hospital when the ship docked
 The dead:
 John Kent, steward, who died of pneu- monia thirty-six hours after the acci- dent, the disease being due to infamma- tion of the respiratory organs, caused by the ammonia.
 Carl Engkyist, steerage passenger.
 F. Colston, cabin steward, Is still suf- fering from inflammation of the lungs.
 According to Superintendent Wright of the American line the explosion or escape of ammonia, as 1t was termed by MT. Wright, occurred at 6:30 o'clock Thursday morning. The bonnet of the condenser on the refrigerating apparatus was forced in some manner The apparatus istin the after portion of the main deck, on the starboard side. MT. Wright said he pre- sumed the pressure was so great that q valve was forced.
 Many Persons Near.
 Near the refrigerating apparatus at the time were eleven stewards and fifteen steerage passengers. When the ammonia fumes burst out into the compartment which is on the same deck as the main dining saloon, there was a mad rush for escape. Some were overcome by the fumes and dropped to the floor. Others were able to get out of the room and efforts were at once made to open the compart- ment and let the ammonia escape. This took some little time, however, and those who had first escaped, after getting a breath of pure air. rushed back into the place and assisted those who had been unable to get out.
 All were more or less prostrated by the fumes, but only few had to go to the ships hospital. The stewards, Kent and COlstOn, were dHnonS tneii, de was EhSh- vist Engkvists death, according to the statement of Superintendent Wright, was primarily due to heart disease, but it was said 1t was superinduced by the shock and by inflammation of the lungs. Fifteen received medical treatment as a result of the ammonia fumes being in- haled. but all except those named, Su- perintendent Wright said would be en- tirely recovered in a day or two.
 The shaft broke at 11:45 o'clock Friday morning. The vessel was sailing in a smooth sea at the time. The shaft broke near the propeller on the port side of the ship. It did not drop out, and boat was lowered and the propeller lashed fast with 8 wire hawser

TENNESSEE MOB
 HANGED A NEGRO
Jury Failed to Agree and Crowd of Citizens Proceed
 ed to Act

Nashville, March H.-At Tiptonville in Lake County. last night a mob hanged Ike Fitzgerald to tree near the court house. The negro was charged with as- sault on white girl, Miss Nina Daven- port, 19 years old, and a trial jury had just reported that they could not agree and had been discharged.
 A different verdict had been expected by the citizens of Tiptonville. and they at once took charge of the prisoner be- fore the sheriff could get him from the court room
 Without delay he was hustled out and hanged to the first tree found available. The crime for which Fitzgerald suffered was committed a few weeks ago on the banks of Reelfoot Lake near Tiptonville The young lady. while passing a lonely spot, was assaulted by a negro who was mending fishing nets on the bank and the pursuing posse arrested Fitzgerald as the guilty one.

RUSSIA HAS FINALLY
 THROWN OFF MASK

London March 17-Dr Morrison, wir- ing to the Times from Pekin, says:
 Russia by her refusal .to support the powers in their demands for the punish ment of guilty officials has finally thrown off the mask. A plea for leniency is hardly serious coming from power whose troops last summer were guilty Of re- prisals upon the Chinese scarcely Jess than the acts of Boxers themselves.
 ''Russia's action is only applicable as the fulhllment of a private compact with Ii Hung Chang to throw the concert overheard in return for concessions, se- curing her separate interests"
 Dr. Morrison proceeds energetically against any further sacrifices of British interests on the part of the powers to secure an outward union of action. He thinks that even France can hardly fol- low her ally in this instance.
 Commenting upon the Manchurian con- vention as giving Russia privileged position at Kashgor and Yarkand, he says:
 Russian railway enterprises in China mean military occupation; and Russia once installed in Chinese Turkestan, will turn the whole position which Great Brit ain has toiled to render impregnable on the northwest frontier of India"
 In a later telegram Dr, Morrison says:
 Chinese officials say they have been informed from St. Petersburg that Russia abandons her claims to exclusive rights in Mongolia and Turkestan, and consents to modify the stringency of her control of the civil administration of Manchuria, agreeing that the convention shall be published as soon as 1t Is signed in St. Petersburg fortnight hence.
 This Is the first check inflicted upon Russian diplomacy in China since Lord Salisbury was cajoled into the with drawal of the British troops from Port Arthur in 1898, and it cannot fail to pro- foundly modify the situation by pro- vincing the Chinese that to still exist in- ternationally commissions capable of maintaining the equilibrium of the far east must be appointed"

A set of resolu- tions was adopted, which protested against thelegal licensing of the vice of official blackmailing; against the imposi- ton of fines for the punishment of vicious conduct and calling upon the authorities to suppress vice in the city for the sake of the young people who are growing up surrounded by it. The speeches were in accord with the resolutions.

STRIKE IS IMMINENT.
General Opinion is That the Opera

Scranton.' Pa. March 17.-President Mitchell denied himself to all interview CTS today. He said he had no statement to make. but National Organizer Delcher said:
 ''I am only giving this as my personal opinion, but if the union is not recog- nized April 1 there will be a strike.''
 The general opinion among superintend- ents is that the presidents of the nine big coal roads will never consent to a recognition of the union.
 The miners must be met and vanquish- ed some time, these superintendents say and the present time Is an suspicious time because of the large stocks of coa the companies have stored away in an ticipation of such an emergency.

that promises some sensational develop
ments has been filed in the circuit court
of Hayneville. J. J. Milstead, Republi-
can, of Elmore county, who recently
ran for congress in the Fifth congress
sional district against Colonel Charles
w. Thompson of Macon county, has
brought suit to recover $4,000 from
Messrs. Ed, VIII and Bob Dickson, al
legged to have been paid them by the
said Milstead during the campaign,
with the understanding that the Dick
sons should carry LoWndes county for
Milstead.
1t is alleged that Milstead's friends in
this county endeavored to make a con-
ditional agreement with the Messrs.
Dickson, that if they should carry the
county for Milstead they were to receive
the sum of $4,000, but this the Messrs.
Dickson declined and got the check for
1000 in advance and collected it. It
was further alleged by friends of Messrs
Dickson that they endeavored in good
faith to carry cut their promise to Mil
stead and that they did carry their own
beat, Lowndesboro, by over 800 ma
jority for Milstead. The case will de-
