A TASTE OF WINTER.
Southern States Covered with a
Heavy Mantle OF Snow-Heaviest
Fall Is in Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 25.-The south
ern states, from Texas to the Attain
tic coast, were given their first taste
of winter Friday night and Saturday
morning, snow falling in many places
from Charleston, S. c.. to central and
northern Texas and almost to the
gulf. The storm. which was over the
west gulf coast Friday night, moved
rapidly to the east during the night
and was central Saturday over north
ern Florida, where snow is expected
during the next 10 hours. The heavi-
est snowfall recorded is at La
Grange, Ca, where the precipitation
was ten inches. At Birmingham there
there is about six inches; Montgom-
cry reports similar depth and very
cold weather; southern Mississippi
reports the first snow in some places
in two years; there is none at New
Orleans.
The precipitation at Dallas is three
inches, and in northwestern Texas
from three to five inches. The snow
is, of course, of great benefit to the
growing wheat, but it is feared will
cause severe loss to live stock.
In Atlanta snow began falling at
night and by ten o'clock Saturday
morning the ground was covered to
depth of five inches.

TRADE REVIEW.
A Better Tone Is Reported in Busi-
ness Circles in the East
ern States.

New York. Feb. Pr. G. Dun & Co. 8
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
in the east and particularly along the
North Atlantic coast has been catching
up with the rest of the country little this
week, so that in the few lines where COM
plant has been heard locally of late the
tone is better. This comes from the work.
ing off of retail stocks which owners
feared would have to be carried over until
next season In builders hardware the
buying has been notably better and the
distribution in the grocery jobbing trade
has been given a considerable stimulus.
Even the laggard dry goods market has
shown good measure of Improvement,
though in cotton goods there is still much
to be desired, for the larger buying has
rot brought any Improvement in general
tone, and in some directions the market
is slower than a week ago. From the in
terror adviceS are almost uniformly favor
able with a very heavy movement of gen.
eral merchandise and farm implements
over the northwestern railroads. No dimi-
mutton appears in the movement of iroc
and steel products. Mills are rushed with
orders and new contracts are taken at
full prices. Pig iron is freely bought and
prices tend upwards Lumber and ma
terials are in good demand, owing to ex-
tensive preparations for spring building.
and at Buffalo there is special activity on
account of hotels and other work in con-
nection with the exposition Grain mar
kets are devoid of wide fluctuations, all
though many reports are circulated re-
garding the condition of winter wheat. It
is too early to secure definite information
and traders are not Influenced by rumors.
News from India and Australia indicates
larger crop than last years.
Failures for the week were 25S in the
United States, against pol last year, and 80
IN Canada. against 80 last year.

JAPAN WAS Preparing
FOR WAR WITH RUSSIA
Cars Withdrawal Of Manchurian Negotiations Will
Avoid Possibility Of a Conflict.
United States Greatly Pleased over the Turn Affairs Have
Taken in China.

Several journals here revive the pro-
posal for the removal of the seat of
government from Pckin 10 the Yang
Use valley where the emperor could be
brought under British influence and re-
leased from Russian intrigue. The
suggestion is promptly condemned aSl
ilnprac ttcable among she officials, and
the optimists are warned that the
quickest and most effective method OF
impairing the prestige of the patriotic
vicerOys like Ii Ku1 II and Chang
Chin Tung. is to take up their cause
too openly and expose them to the sus-
picion Of being instruments of Great
Britain or the other powers.
1t is urged by men of experience that
the vicerOys who have saved the Sits
Cation must not be Sianed as allies,
either here or in W Washington, or y
embarrassed by superfiuOus foreign
gratitude and patronage. Still less
must there be premature talk about the
removal of the capital, for the Manchu
dynasty viii not abandon Pekin for any
city OF China, and the viceroys de-
pend upon their independence of all
foreign influence.
The viceroys have prevented the pre-
mature breaking of the concert and
fociltited negotiations respecting the
withdrawal of foreign troops. When
these matters have been settled the
Russians plans for the permanent con-
troll of Manchuria will be worked out
at leisure. The VlcerOys have prevented
the ratification of the agreement but
they have not brought about the with
drawaI of russian troops from Man
churia. Probably the number of Cos
sacks in occupation of the province Will
be considerably increased in the next
three months.
"a peSsimistic view is taken by the
newspapers here of the Russian official
account of recent negotiations with
China in regard TO Manchuria- The
statement will. it is argued, not tend
TO convict the powers of the bona fides
Of the Russian government. At the
same time it is admitted that if Count
Larlsdorf acts up to the declarations
made in the name of his master he will
not only assist in settling the present
crisis but viii also reinstate Russia
in the good opinion CT the world.

TO RECOVER MONEY
STOLEN BY CARTEH

New York, April 6.-A special to the
Tribune, from Washington says: I'm
pOrtant developments in the OberIin NJ
Carter case are likely to occur within
few days. Carter is row serving a
sentence Of five years Imprisonment in
the government penitentiary at Leav-
enWOrth, kan, charged with gigantic
swindling operations against the gov
eminent. Up to the time re was con-
Victed, Carter was under the jurisdic-
ton of the United States and prosecuted
by the war department. Since then
the civil authorities Of the government.
acting through the department of Jus
tice, have been quietly but vigorously
and relentlessiy, tracing. step by step.
the money Carter stole. and now have
the greater bulk Of it located, and are
about ready to recover it and turn it
back into the treasury.
The department OF justice has discOv-
cred that Carriers profits from the
shrewd swindling scheme which he
worked successfully for so long a time
We're $4,000 The government detec-
tives who, for three years. have been
on the eX-arn1y officers trail, have To-
Gated nearly every cent of this money,
and as soon as certain UnimpOrtant de-
tails are completed, the legal steps
necessary to recover il viii be taken
by the department Of justice. Attach
ments viii be sworn out by United
States district attorneys in New York
CITY, IN savannah ia. ana AT OlneF
places where Carter invested the money.
and it is not impossible that as a result
of these proceedings the arrest OF two
or three we'll known men, charged with
knowingly taking part in protecting
Carriers stealings, viii follow.
1T has been learned that Carter in
vested the money in gilt-edged securi-
ties and with real estate men around
New York. All OF these securities, as
we'll as the real estate, nave been To-
Gated and the government will sWOop
down on then as soon as the attach
ments are obl2l1ed.
