various articles, all of which was do
mated by the merchants of town and
friends of the company. All will be

Inasmuch as the sentences upon
the two boys-Solomon Reed and
George Wheeler-has brought forth
considerable comment, because of
its severity, it is, perhaps, only Just
to state that it was administered
not without reason, During their
incarceration in the Jail they had
received letters, describing methods
by which they might escape. One
was to fire the prison, another pro-
posed dynamite. When these let
tiers and their demeanor as prison.
ers, which was bad, are considered,
the sentence, a fine of $500 and
four years imprisonment, at hard
labor, is not unjust or too severe.

CORNER IN RIBS.
Rumor That Armour Interests are En-
 gineerng Great Scheme.

Chicago, March 22.-Rumors were rife today that Armour interests were engin- eering g. deal in May ribs that bids fair to produce broader results than the per sstently reported Squeeze in May pork. During the day speculative interest that has centered about the market for hog products for several days were di- verted from pork and fastened on the big deal in ribs, which Armour and Company are credited with having under way. The Armour purchases of May ribs during the day amounted to over 5000 GOO pounds which comes near the limit of supply In the city available for delivery on May contracts. Under their active buying and covering by shorts, the price advanced 22 cents over the quotations of the day be- fore, touching 7.971a and closing at 7.9211. It Is said that there is little chance of an increase in the stock supply, which at present is about S,000,000 pounds, be- tween now and the end of May, owing to the active demand for meats, and that the large purchase of the Armour inter ests is the beginning of a squeeze in May pork which will be generally felt in the pit.

Auburn will be here only two days, as will the Texas boys but it is more than probable that three games will be played with each team. There is some objection to playing with Texas on account of her habit of playing professionals on her team. The boys are very anxious that the games with Se- vance be not cancelled, as they have been done for the past two or three years. Heretofore it has been customary to have these games at each commencement with Sewanee. and they were always greatly enjoyed.
 The Alabama boys will go to Mississp- pi this year for the first time in quite while, as the dates have been heretofore arranged so as to bring the Mississippi ans here. The boys are taking a great deal of interest in the practice, and it is likely that they will put up good ball this season.

 That's about the size of it," said the officer
 "I think the size of this case is about the size of an egg said the lawyer, If Minnie was accused of stealing chickens, your honor, i admit that with one of her color the mere accusation would make out a prima facie case and the pre- sumption of law would be against her.

 ''The first case is Jack Shepard, your honor, charged with disorderly conduct" said the clerk.
 He can't be the original Jack shep- ard, then" said the judge, flor he would be charged with highway robbery"
 No, sir. He's a base counterfeit There's very little originality nowadays" :" said the clerk.
 He ought to be charged with counter feiting, then" said the judge, If he Is a counterfeit"
 Tn that case" said the clerk, "the United States court would have jurisdic- ton and we would lose the costs"
 That's true" said the judge. How much did you say you had charged the defendant?"
 T only charged him with being disor- derly, your honor," said the clerk. ''I didn't want to charge him too much or we might lose the sale.''
 That's right" said the judge. Fri day is always bargain day. Call Jack Shepard" said the judge to the clerk.
 The defendant was called three times and out.
 He's not there," said the sheriff.
 ''He ought to be here" said an officer 'I arrested him.
 If his name was Jack Horner he would probably be in the corner said the sher- fir. Your honor sees how much there is in a name"
 I don't see much in this case,' said the judge. If the defendant can't be found. Did any of you think to look in jail?'
 "Yes, sir. That idea occurred to me, said the sheriff, "but 1 could not find him.
 If you cant find him I can't fine him. said the judge "Try him under some other name. He may be man of many aliases and has probably forgotten he was Jack Shepard and may now think he is Napoleon Bonaparte or William J. Bryan. If he is Napoleon sing the Mar saillaise and that will fetch him or call 16 to l if he is Bryan

GREAT BRITAIN
 IS PESS|M|ST|C Regards Situation in the East as
 Very Grave. EYES TURNED ON RUSSIA All That Japan Wants Is Free Hand With the czar's Country, Says
 Prominent Baptist
 Official.
EYES TURNED ON RUSSIA
Official.

London, March 22.-The foreign office takes pessimistic view of the immedi ate situation in the east, in spite of the settlement of the Tien Tsin question and entertains grave fears that the relations between Japan and Russia may shortly reach the danger point.
 Judging from information obtained in various official quarters in London, Japan has coniided to at least some of the pow CTS her determination to oppose at all costs any secret agreements made be- tween Russia and China. by which the former could secure territorial or any advantages contiguous to Corea.
 The British government has received no official information that the Japanese fleet is moblizing, but it would not be surprised to learn that such was the fact. A high British official said today:
 All Japan wants is a free hand against Russia. This she has so far as England and Germany are concerned, and 1 pre- sume as far as the United States is con cerned although I do not imagine for one moment that any of the powers men tioAed would be drawn into a war be- tween Japan and Russia. If Japan sees nothing for it but to fight Nshe would have the moral support of objections, committed to paper by at least two other powers against secret treaties with Chi ma. That is all but Japan seems to con slider it sufficient to provide against in- reference"
 Confirmation of the foregoing definition of the situation was afforded by the sec retary of the Japan legation, who said in the course of an interview:
 While rejoicing at the fact that Eng land and Russia have reached pacific settlement over the minor issue, the main question-the integrity of the Chinese Empire-remains unsettled, In response to pressure brought by Japan upon Rus sia, it was announced that Russia's secret treaties with China had been modified; i; but the terms have been withheld. Un- til we see the treaty we will not be sat isied that the modification does not con sist of words merely without any altera tion in the spirit In this contention we believe other powers will support us.'' It appears that Great Britain would be quite willing to refer the whole Manchur- ian matter to arbitration on the lines of The Hague conference. The Tien Tsin siding affair is not considered important enough to be disposed of in this way. and it will immediately become matter of diplomatic interchange between St. Pet ersburg and London.
