condensed into the single sentence, "J'y

Russia goes back on her promise now
given as to the integrity of China and
nroceeds to assume in Manchuria the au-
+nority denied her by formal stipulation
she will have to confront not only the
nrotest. but the armed might of the ener-
eetic nation, which, under the rule of the
M,kado is conscious of its strength to
aid the greatness of its destinies. Japan,
the paper adds, will have the sympathy
and support of nearly all the Powers in
terested in the Far East.
The Daily Chronicle makes similar COM
ments, interpreting Russia's policy, and
saws that of the Powers which really
count. Japan is the only one which is at
all likely to back her protest with force.
The Daily News maintains that Rus
sa's policy is as clear as daylight and
simply means no shred Of independence
for Manchuria. The paper continues:
Russia has a firm friend and ally in
the United States. The American gov
ernment lost no time in publishing the
plausible pacific assurance received by
Secretary Hay from Count Cassini. But

DE woe AND THE WEATHER.
He Hit IT Right in His Rain Predic-
lions for Last Week.

De Voc came very near hitting 1t ex-
actly in his prediction for the weather
that Savannah would experience dur
ing the closing days of last week. The
Hackensack prophet was here last
Tuesday. He was seen by a represen-
tative of the Morning News, to whom
he talked about his work and to whom
he gave a forecast for Savannah for
some two weeks ahead.
The prophet said it would rain every
day that remained of last week He hit
it right, save for Wednesday, He
might virtually be considered to
have hit that right, too, for
a thunderstorm came up during
the afternoon. Black clouds how
cred over the western sky, but produce
ed no rain. 1t probably rained Just a
few miles from the city, so that prac-
tically, Mr.. DeVoe was correct. Thurs
day it rained, Friday it rained and
yesterday it rained. 1t viii rain to-
day, too, if the predictions of the
prophet are further verified.
This is getting alarming, because De-
Voc talked about a storm from the
West Indies. If he struck it right
about the rain, many persons, who
have noted the way the weather tailed
with his predictions last week, are
wondering why he may not also be cor
rect about his storm. Here's what De-
Voc said about the prospect for a
storm:
"A rising temperature and sultry
weather will mark the period from July
% to 49, when a very important storm
will begin to form along the Atlantic
coast. A very decided fall in temper
allure may be looked for, and there is
a danger of a storm along the coast
from July 2S to July 80 The storm
won't go north, but will back up and go
southeast. The last of July. August
and September is the time West In
dian storms may be looked for in this
region"

RAIN INJURED THE FRUIT.
Florida Variety Sells for More Than
Home Product.

Dealers in fruit, in the City Market,
say that the Florida article, so far this
season, is superior to the home product,
and is bringing better price from the
consumers. While canteloupes are al
most drug on the market the good
ones are few and far between, and
housekeepers are continually complain
ing. 1t appears that the Georgia pro-
duct has had too much rain, and that
this is responsible for the inferior quail
ity.
Georgia cantaloupes could be pur-
chased yesterday anywhere from 6 to
10 for a quarter. For the Florida article
Is cents was paid for from 3 to 5. Wa
termelons and peaches appear to be in
the same boat, and at this time neither
of this variety of fruit is very fine. Few
sweet, and juicy watermelOns have
shown up in the market although
there are many of the other sort. They
were purchased yesterday anywhere
from to % cents each. Peaches, too,
are plentiful and sell for 10 cents a
quart, although not very select.
The local tomato is very fine and re-
tails for 10 cents a quart, or 3 for a
quarter. Corn is scarce at 20 cents a
dozen and potatoes are on the wane at
so cents a peck. Okra is plentiful and is
really a drug on the market.

WREATHS OF LAUREL
LAID UPON THE GRAVES OF THE
HEROES OF MANASSAS.
0GLETH0RPES WILL PARADE
IN MEMORY OF THEIR GREAT BAT.
TIE 40 YEARS AGO.

Daughters of the COnfederacy VIII
Decorate the Resting Places II
the Brave Men who Lost Their
Lives at Bull Run-A Monument to
the Memory of Bryan Mcqueen
MOreI Who Was the First Soldier
From Savannah Killed in the
Fight.
This is the fortieth anniversary of
the First Battle of Manassas. Forty
years ago that first great struggle in
the War Between the States was
fought. In it brave Savannahians lay
down their lives and ever since its
anniversary has been observed here.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry was
the only command exclusively from
Savannah that participated in the bat
tie. 1t had a glorious record, for of
the entire number of the brave boys
who faced death and won honor and a
deathless fame on that day, but seven
left the field without a wound. All of
the others had been killed or wounded.
The graves of the seven who died
are in Laurel Grove Cemetery and on
July II of each year since they We're
inferred there laurel wreaths have been
laid above them. Each year in the
past Mrs. H. M. Branch has performed
this duty and it was never neglected.
Now that she is not living in Savannah
the duty has been assumed by the Me-
mortal Committee of the Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
committee has placed the wreaths up
on the graves in honor of to-day.
These brave Savannahians, all of
whom left Savannah as members of
the Oglethorpes and all of whom, save
Gen. Barlow, who had won rapid pro-
motion, were members of the command
when they died, were as follows: Gen.
Francis S. Barlow, Lieut. John Banks,
George Butler, Thomas Purse, William
Crane, Julius Ferrill and Bryan Nc
Queen Morel
have just erected a granite shaft to
The memory of Mr.. Morel The stone is
handsome one, bearing upon it's pol
ished service this inscription: Bryan
Mcqueen MoreL Born May 2, 1887;
killed at the battle of Manassas, July
81, 1861. c. S. A"
Mr.. Morel was the first man from
savannah killed at Manassas. His re-
mains were brought back with those Of
his brave comrades who died in battle
that day and laid to rest in Laurel
Grove. For some reason no stone has
ever marked his resting place, and it
remained for the Daughters of the Con-
federacy to rear the handsome monu-
ment that has just been erected over
his grave,
Tomorrow afternoon the Oglethorpes
will celebrate the day by a parade
through the principal streets of the
city, and a social gathering at their
armory. The company will assemble
for the parade at $50 p. m. Pay and
veteran members are expected to par
ticipate, and as is always the case,
there will be a very large attendance.
The company will be under the COM
mand of Capt. David c.. Barrow.
After the parade the members of the
command will be entertained at the
armory by Lieut.. James H. Butner and
Lieut.. Branch LaFar. There will be
speeches by some of the older members
of the command, and by the officers
and one of the pleasant evenings that
are peculiar to the Oglethorpes will be
spent.
