KRUGER STILL HOPEFUL.
Says the Burghers are Fighting for
 Liberty Only.

Paris, Aug. 3.-The Figaro publishes a long interview today with Mir. Kru- ger. After denying the cruelties charg- ed against the Boers in Lord Kitchen CTS report, Mir. Kruger declares that the atrocities of the concentration camps were twenty times worse than had been stated by Miss Hobhouse in Great Britain, and that. when fully known. they would cause the world to shudder with horror and move the nations to intervene.
 We are defending our liberty" con tinues MT. Kruger, 'and when 1t is granted we will lay down our arms. Great Britain knows our conditions. It is not for me to repeat them. We will never renounce our flag and we cannot accept a protectorate. I am convinced that the hour will come when Great Britain will grant what is our right Moreover, I am confident that God is with us and will not abandon us."
 Mir. Fischer. who was present at the interview, said nothing had yet been decided regarding MT. Kruger's visit to America

Committee. He believed that every time a white man would pay his poll tax he would disfranchise ten negroes.
 MT. Pitts of Dallas supported the substitute. While he came from a Black Belt county, he said his people only wanted z. to disfranchise the vicious and ignorant class of negroes. This would be accomplished by the poll tax provision.
 MT. Browne of Talladega spoke against the substitute. He said 1t would work a hardship on the poor white people of his section.
 MT. Smith of Mobile spoke against the voluntary clause of the substitute. A poll tax should be made obligatory, he thought.
 Judge Stewart of Perry made his first speech in the Convention and support ed the substitute. He thought too many negroes could qualify under the educational clause. The poll tax pro- vision was a necessity and he favored the sixty-year limit.
 Messrs. Hood of Etowah and Bulger of Tallapoosa supported the Commit tee report, and MT. Long of Walker spoke against it. denouncing it as class legislation of the worst type.
 An amendment by Mir. Pitts of Tus- caloosa fixing the age limit at 4S years was laid on the table upon motion Of Mir. Hood of Etowah by a vote of 61 to 60.
 An amendment by Mir Smith of Mo- bile, making the poll tax compulsory. was discussed by Messrs. Sollis of Dale and Reese of Dallas, and it was tabled.
 Mir. Browne of Talladega submitted an amendment making it the duty of tho JaUia1qfIrp tn fiY the limtf and amount of poll taxes. and while this amendment was pending, the Con- vention at l o'clock recessed until 3:30 o'clock. !"

HE HAD MURDERED A MAN

Birmingham, Aug. 2.-(Special.)- who has been working at Irondale, was making his way on foot across the country to Apniston, his home, accom- panied by his wife and two small chil- dren. The party stopped last night near McLaughlin's farm, three miles east of Leeds, in St. Clair County, and slept under a large tree. During the night Vann was assaulted by a negro and struck on the head with a rock, which broke his skull and rendered him insensible. The assailant then knocked down Mrs. Vann, and attempted to commit a criminal assault upon her. Her screams frightened him away.
 Mrs. Vann stated that just before dark last night they had stopped for water at a negro house, and she be- lieved the negro who gave them wa ter was the guilty man. The tracks of the murderer showed that he wore de- fective shoe, from which his toes pro- truded. This corresponded with the description of Charley Bend. a negro. who worked for J. c. Mclaughlin. He was arrested and a preliminary trial was begun by Justice of the Peace Spruell at the scene of the crime.
 At noon two citizens were deputized to take charge of Bend, who was taken to a farm house a mile away for din ner. On the way back to the place of trial this afternoon mob gathered and overpowered the deputies and took the negro from them. Bend. when questioned. admitted that he struck Yam with a rock, but said he did so because Vann had cursed him. He was then strung up to the nearest tree, a blow line being used. The line was so frail that the negro's body was tied to the trunk of the tree to prevent him kicking and breaking the rope. He was thus choked to death. The body was still hanging tonight.
 Mrs. Vann identified Bend as the guilty party

SKATER GOES TO NEW YORK.
Peace or War Will Be Announced
 There Today.

Pittsburg. Aug. 2.-Judging by indi- cations that are practically facts. peace or war in the steel troubles will be an- nounced from New York City tomor- row. When the Amalgamated Associa- tion Executive Board adjourned this evening President Shaffer announced that another meeting will be held to- morrow. There will probably be a meeting here tomorrow of a portion of the Board. but the national officers will be in New York. They left for that city tonight on the Pennsylvania lim- ited at 10 o'clock. The circumstances leading up to this unexpected trip, while not officially made known, are evident enough to substantiate the story, which was:
 During the day many telegrams were received at the association conference rooms, the last coming just before ad- Journment, and 1t was answered promptly. This answer was in all probability the. announcement to the New York people that the trip would he made by the officials tonight. car- rying out an arrangement entered into at Veryl Preston's room in the Hotel Henry a short time before. At about 4:15 D. m. Messrs. Shaffer. Williams and Chappelle went to Mir. preston's rooms and were closeted with him for about thirty minutes. The understanding is that at this meeting MT. Preston made known the corporation's only conces- sion in the matter or reopeninE the wage conference where 1t left off three weeks ago. This concession was in the shape of a demand if the new conference is granted 1t must be spe- officially stated beforehand what Is ex- petcted to be accomplished. what ground is to be covered and what companies are to participate.
 Thie brings the matter up to the Amalgamated Association and the mis- sion of its high officials to New York is doubtless to convince the steel peo- pie there that a new conference iE es- senial to peace and an amicabIe set tlement of the strike troubles.

Weymouth, May 13.-The Erin towed
In both the Shamrocks yesterday in a
hot, hazy calm, which gave little PROM
lse of racing weather. The yachts an
chored inside the Portland breakwater
During the night fresh easterly breeze
piped up and early this morning it was
blowing half gale and a big, white sea
was running outside.
On the first sign Of lull, sail was
made on both yachts. The wind was
still hard and fresh, as we'll as fine
weather. The Shamrock I set her jib
header over her full mainsail, and the
challenger followed suit. Anchors We're
tripped shortly before midday.
The weather conditions all favored a
fair trial with the wind fresh and
steady, the course clear of all Obstruc-
tions and no tides of any consequence.
The Shamrock l today beat Sir Thomas
Liptons new boat by minutes and s
seconds over a triangular course OF
about 20 miles,
The only possible disadvantage to the
her old mainsail, which sits worse since
it's salt bath Of Thursday.
There was no discoVerable holding
back of the challenger, although once or
twice, she pointed such a course as left
the suspicion that the steersman was not
taking advantage of every chance.
There is no doubt that the result of to-
days trial was distinctly disappointment
to those who had pinned their faith to the
new challenger, especially as the Sham
rOck I the nrpVIonS Gnin had not
shown equality with the new racer on any
point of sailing, with the exception or
running.
The first leg of the course was from the
Portland breakwaters to the Shambles
lightship. The second to White Nose
Point and thence to point OF starting.
