THE PHILLIPS SUSPENSION.
Old Stockholders and Directors Be
ing Forced Out.

ing Forced Out.
Chicago, Aug. 3.--Stockholders and
directors of the George H. Phillips
Company are being forced out of office
and out of any financial interest in the
concern. Besides Abel D. Osman, for
merly secretary of the company, JOS
eph L. Bauman, who was taken into
the firm on its reorganization on June
Z, after the conclusion of the May corn
deal, is no longer connected with it,
Bauman had a big line of May corn
and traded in all the grain pits after
that deal was over
Mr.. Phillips was seen tonight and
confirmed the impression that the re-
firing stockholders had sacrificed their
interests by getting on the wrong side
of the market.
"Osman had $4,000 of stock. while
Bauman had $4,000 worth" said Mr..
Phillips. Both speculated and lost the
amount of the stock and something
more. They put their stock into the
treasury to square their accounts, be-
ing unwilling or unable to put in cash.
The company soon will be doing busi-
ness again. There is no question about
it; probably it will be under the same
name. 1t will probably take a week to
straighten out the books. No other
stockholders are indebted to the COM
pany. President Collins, Mr.. Hill and
myself are the heaviest creditors"

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
Emperor William to BE Urged ts
Visit st. Louis Fair.

Visit ST. Louis Fair.
st. Louis, Aug. "a strong effort
is being made to induce Emperor Will
liam of Germany to visit the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition in 1903. Mr.
John Schroers, a Worlds Fair direc-
tor and leader among the Germans
in st. Louis, is at the bend of the
movement. While only the initial and
informal steps have been taken by Mr.
Schroers, the way has been paved for
government action, with an opportu-
nifty for success.
Among the interesting suggestions
received at the Worlds Fair head
quarters during the week was one by
a prominent colored resident, urging
the erection of a building on the
grounds in which could be shown the
progress of the negro race during the
past forty years.
There can be exhibited" says he.
in an unbroken chain, the develop
metn of the negro from his barbaric
state in Africa to his present high So
cial attachments in this country. Let
negro architects design the building;
let negro builders rear the structure:
let negro artists decorate and negro
managers direct and superintend it. 1
feel assured that 1t will justify the out
lay and will prove a creditable Offering
to the worlds achievements.

The Normal Institute and Business
CoIIege-Other Matters.

Statesboro. Ca, July 3.--Prof. J. H.
oQuinn, the newly elected president of
the Statesboro Normal Institute and
Business College is here making pre-
parations for the fall term, begin
ming Sept. 2. The prospects for large
opening continue very fiattering. Prof
O'Quinn has assurance of at least one
hundred boarding pupils. Besides a
large number from this and surrounds
ing counties many of his old pupils will
follow him from several counties in
the southern part of the state, where
he has taught recently.
A number of new boarding houses
are being opened for the accommodate
ton OF pupils. High salaried teachers
nave been employed and the equip
ment for excellent work in the new
academy is particularly good. Besides
the good outlook for the Institute the
Southeastern Business College has
opened exceedingly well for a new en-
terprise. There are twenty students
enrolled already and by Sept. thirty
five will have entered. With these two
schools Statesboro' has the best educa-
tional facilities of any town of it's size
in the state.
Mr.. Moth Hendrix, the old man, ten
miles above here, who tried to kill him
self some weeks ago by saving on his
neck with duh pocket knife, is said
to be dying from the wound. He was
critical yesterday evening and his
death was momentarily expected.
The continuous hot weather of the
past ten days has had a wonderfully
good effect upon crops. especially cot
ton. While the reports that have been
given out are no doubt too optimistic,
yet the fact remains that the crop will
be far more abundant than has been
expected all the year. Corn is the
shortest of all, yet some think as much
will be made as was gathered last
year.

RIOTlNG AT WELLSVILLE.
PIucky Woman Faces Mob and Pro-
tects Her ROarders.

Pittsburg, Aug. ga Wellsville. O..
dispatch says:
Deeply enraged by being outwitted
by the mill officials who yesterday af
ternoon succeeded in running nine new
mill workers into the mill, the strikers
became desperate last night and as
serted that no more accessions must be
made to the mill workers. Accordingly
more than a hundred of them guarded
both entrances to the mill all night.
They made extra effort to be vigilant
when the midnight train from Pitts
burg came to town, but were unable to
locate any more strike breakers. About
o'clock this morning they went to the
house of a mill worker named Harry
Phillips. Phillips wife boards three of
the men who came here a few days ago
to work at the mill. The strikers pelted
the house with stones, breaking nearly
all the windows and demanded that the
mill men who were boarding there come
out. Several shots were fired with re-
volvers by the men, but no one was
hurt Mrs. Phillips is plucky woman.
and armed with a gun, she went out
into the crowd of strikers and dared
them to touch her. She then took the
men who were boarding with her, in
CluulIlS uer husband, TO the mill, SnS
walking beside them with a loaded re-
volver in her hand, and at the same
time daring the strikers to interfere.
She got the four men inside the mill
and then turned and put the mob, as
she calls them, to rout.
Shortly after noon the proprietor of
the house swore out warrants, charg
ing twenty-seven members of the
Amalgamated Association with riot.
Organizer Evans name is included lin
the affidavit. OF the men named in
the affidavit and on the list handed by
Phillips to the Mayor, Edward Price,
Richard Rumbaugh, William Elmer
Moore, Charles Peturs, Frank Adams,
Jay Davis and District Organizer
George Evans have been placed under
arrest. Adams and Evans were re-
leased on $500 bond for preliminary
hearing to be held on Aug. IA. The re-
mainder are still in Jail, but the
Amalgamated leaders are working
hard to secure bail for them, but so
far without success. The informations
were made by Phillips at the request
of the American Sheet Steel Company.
Sheriff Morgan of this county has two

fession. Douglas extends to him and
his estimable family a warm welcome.

ALABAMA CONVENTION.
The Suffrage Clause still the object
of Discussion.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 3.-Only
eighty-five members were present at
roll call in the Constitutional Conven-
ton to-day. Delegate Smith of Mobile
offered an ordinance excusing from the
payment of all licenses and taxes all
Confederate soldiers who may have
lost an eye, arm or leg in the Civil
War.
The Lowe substitute for the majority
suffrage report was then taken up.
The substitute omits the grandfather
clause and makes the chief require
ment for voting that those under As
years of age shall pay poll tax of SO
for school purposes and those over As,
$3.50.
Mr.. Bank of Russell, protested as a
black belt Democrat against the ma
jority report, declaring it gave no re-
lief from conditions in his section.
The negroes could still come in and
vote, he said and at the same time
it would make negro labor dissatis-
fed and restless. He ventured to say
that in two years the white counties
would be Republican and the black belt
would be at their mercy.

GERMAN TARIFF BILL.
1t Continues to BE Discussed in a
Lively Manner.

hAnHeF.
Berlin, Aug. 3.-Emperor Williams
sudden decision to abandon his pro-
gramme to visit Emden Hamburg and
other places owing to the news from
freidrichshof. about the health of the
Dowager Empress Frederick, attracts
much attention here. 1t is known that
His Majesty anticipated with the keen
est interest welcoming Field Marshal
Won Waldersee personally, on the lat
ters return from China, intending to
make the ceremonies great patriotic
occasions. The Emperor's abandon
naent OF the plans is, therefore, regard
ed as meaning that the condition of his
mother is most serious. Prof. RenVerS
was at Friedrichshof this week and
made much longer stay there than
usual. The Taunusbote, a local news
paper of the vicinity, said yesterday
that the condition of Empress Freder-
lex had recently grown much worse.
The tariff bill continues to be dis
cussed In a lively manner. 1t is generally
recognized that much depends on the
attitude of the South German cabinets,
and during the past few days the semi
ofhclak utterances there have taken the
cue OF the North German Gazette, that
the Dill is only tentative. But it is
regarded as certain that South German
ofhclals desire considerable changes.
Regarding the bills chances in the
Reichstag, it is everywhere recognized
that the balance of power will rest
with the Centrist party. Therefore the
non-Centrist press this week has been
eagerly watching for indications to the
Centrists attitude. The Centrist pa
pers, however, carefully abstained from
committing themselves. But, now, the
Cologne Volks Zeitung prints an edi-
torial which is being telegraphed all
over the country, coming out strongly
for the tariff bill. The editorial admits
that some duties may be changed and
some, perhaps, further increased; but
the Centrists are ready to support the
measure substantially in its present
form

ChhrlestOn commercial Bodies Not
Likely to Accomplish Much by At
tempted Mediation in Machinist
Strike on Southern.
Charleston, S. c., Aug. 3.-Some time
ago the striking machinists of Charles
ton appealed to the commercial bodies
of the city to unite in an effort to ad-
just the differences which existed be-
tween themselves and the Southern
Railway Company. The presidents of
the Chamber of Commerce, Cotton Elk
change, the Merchants Exchange and
the Young Mems Business League
gladly lent their good offices with this
end in view They drew up and for
warded through Vice President Gan
non to President Spencer of the South
ern petition soliciting a conference
at which they might be allowed TO set
forward the claims of the strikers in
the best possible light. President Spen-
Ger has just replied to this communi-
cation. He shows the strike situation
from its inception in a dispassionate
manner, and expresses his willingness
to discuss this or any other subject
with the commercial bodies of Charles
ton at length, but he declines to Off
cially recognize the strikers, and holds
out comparatively little hope to them
of regaining their status with the
Southern Railway.
1t seems to be more than ever evil
dent that the Southern Railway off
Gals have spoken their final word up
on the subject of the strike and their
men who are reinstated will have to
recede from the attitude taken by the
union, and appeal to the company pure
ly in the light of individual workmen.

IDLE MILLS PICKETED.
Strikers Warn Negroes Not to Take
Their Places.

Cleveland, Aug. 3.-As a result of the
report that negroes are being brought
into the city to supplant white work
men at the Newburg Mills of the
United States Steel Corporation, the
idle plants are now being picketed by
members of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation. Five plants are now idle, the
company having recently closed down
the s.. r. and 1S-inch mills for the
announced purpose of making repairs.
The pickets late last night found a
dozen negroes asleep near the New
burg mills. Upon being aroused the
negroes said they had no intention OF
going to work. They were, however
unable to give a good account of them
selves. They were advised that their
presence might cause trouble and that
they had better leave the city at once
The negroes lost no time in getting out
of town.
