PEACE is NOW COMPLETE
SAYS FELIPE BUEN GAMING

CHICAGO, June 19-Don Felipe Buen-
canine. who was secretary of state in
Aguinaldo's cabinet, and who is now max
ing a tour of commercial investigation in
the United States is strongly in favor of
the continuance of American rule in the
archipelago.
My objects in coming to this country
are many" said he. II want to explain to
the people of the United States. the situa-
ton In the philippines at the present time,
to ask for amnesty for former rebels, for
further educational facilities for the peo-
pie, to collect data to hold an exposition
in Manila, and to further the development
of commercial relations between the archi-
pelago and the United States.
THE American people should under
stand clearly that peace is completely re-
stored. All that remains are a few robber
bands. which can be easily disposed of by
the native constabulary, and they proba-
bly, will be dispersed or exterminated
within six months. In regard to the re-
ports of atrocities committed by American
soldiers in the Philippines, there have
been some abuses, but the authorities
have seen that the perpetrators were pun
ished. 1t is not fair to condemn the whole
army for the abuses of few soldiers"

"BRYAN AND CLEVELAND
SHOULD GO AWAY BACK"

Grover Cleveland and William Jennings
Bryan should go way back and sit down,
or to be more elegant in the use Of my
language and leave out the slang, should
retire to the extreme rear and take seats, y
said Governor Gambler Saturday when
asked for his opinion of the speech Of
Grover cleveland at the Tilden banquet
and on the best plan to reorganize the
Democratic party.
The governor Is vigorously opposed to
Cleveland and thinks Bryan has seen his
best days in national politics. Cleveland
disrupted the party" said the governor,
and he should be the last man 70 attempt
to pose as an organizer.
THE speech Of Dave Hill, said the gov
ernor. was jam up in every particular.
His speech had the ring of the right metal
and is the kind of speech that like to
read. There was something in that
speech"
In reply to a question as to who he IA
vored for the Democratic candidate for
president in 1904 Governor Gambler said:
Dave Hill or German. Either would make
a good man."
Regarding the Democratic candidate for
vice president the governor said: That
makes no difference. Anybody will do for
that, but 1 think Carter Harrison is the
best man"
When asked If he thought man from
the south would be nominated, he said:
mo. You will never see the day when a
southern man Is put on the national DEM
ocratic or Republican ticket"

RAIN NEEDED TO SAVE
CROPS IN MISSISSIPPI

JACKSON, Miss. June 21.-The reports
from over the state, especially in the
southern portion are not very encourage
ing in regard to the crop situation and
the bulletins that have been issued show
that material injury has been done by
the continued drouth and the extremely
hot weather visiting Mississippi at this
season.
Although the crops, especially the corn
and cotton, are well worked and are
clean for this time of the year, the lack
of moisture has done untold injury to
the corn, and if the state is not visited
with a heavy rain soon the whole crop
will be injured to such an extent that
the farmers viii have to begin early
purchasing corn from the west
1t seems that what Captain Parchman
reported in regard to the lice destroying
the cotton crops on the state plantations
in the delta seems to be true in a great
many sections of Mississippi. The lice
are found In large numbers on the young
stalk They are doing great damage and
a rain is the only thing that viii bring
relief
The rains in the northern portion the
first Of this week are reported to have
done the crops in that section a great
deal of good, but a soaking rain is, what
is needed all along the line.

BIC STEAMER
IN GRASP
OF ICE
STEAMER PORTLAND IS BEING
PRESSED BACK INTO THE
ARCTIC BY IMMENSE PACK
Office AND MAY BE LOST.

NOME, June 21.-via Seattle)-The
steamer Portlands Captain Lindquist. the
pioneer of the Northern Commercial COM
pany's fleet was, on June 4th caught in
the ice pack and being carried up Behring
Straits to the Arctic ocean at the rate
of from two to three miles an hour.
The Nome City came near being caught
in the same manner and when she found
a lead and backed through the pack to
the westward the Portland could be
plainly seeen drifting northward past the
Diomede islands.A Three whalers were
also in sight but they were in the lee
of the islands and in no danger of being
carried to the Arctic by the floating pack
When Captain Daniels brought the word
to Nome that the Portland was in the ice
and drifting towards the Arctic the
Northern Commercial company officials
and people who had friends aboard were
greatly worried and as soon as the Thetis
arrived a petition was presented tos Cap
tain Eealey, requesting him to go to the
rescue. The Thetis left the same even
ing.
If any one can render the imprisoned
ship any assistance Captain Healey is
that man. There is some danger of the
ship being crushed In the straits. If she
got through the straits and failed to find
lead to eastward or westward by which
she could get clear of the pack, she will
be carried into the Arctic ocean and fall
ing to get clear of the ice may ultimately
be wrecked by heavy foes further north.
In the event of her not getting crushed
she will be greatly delayed, and no doubt
run short of supplies and fresh water.

TRIPTO.SOUTH
MAY NOW De
DELAYED
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MAY
BE FORCED TO POSTPONE AC-
cEPTANCE OF INVITATIONS
FROM THE SOUTH.

WASHINGTON, June H.-President
Roosevelt has been compelled to forego
the making Of any plans bearing on his
trip TO the south for the present. 1t has
long been his desire to avail himself OF the
invitation from Governor Longino, OF
Mississippi, to have a bear hunt in that
state. ..,.
Recently a strong effort has been made
to have the president extend his trip on
into Texas, passing through Atlanta and
New Orleans en- route, and an invitation
from Governor Sayers, of Texas. reached
the white house yesterday. Secretary
Cortelyou said this afternoon. that word
had been received that a committee was
on its way here to urge the acceptance
of this invitation, but that at present the
plans of the president were in such a
state as to forbid his making any prom
Uses or engagements. t.e
"If the president decides to go south,
II will not be until October is well a.
vanced," said the secretary and he init
mated that II might be impossible for the
trip to be made at all this year. The
desire among the Republican managers
to have the president utilize what time
he has to travel in visiting those sections
Of the country where his presence might
be of service to his party, during the ap-
preaching campaign, is becoming strong
err, and IT is probable that he will &C
quiesce in these views.

V0LNEY DUNNING DIED
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON

volney Dunning, one of the best known
and most popular men in the city OF
Atlanta, died Friday afternoon at his
home, 105 Rawson street, after an illness
of only about three weeks.
Few men in Atlanta were more widely
known or liked than Mr.. Dunning and
the news of his death comes as a sudden
shock Few of his most intimate friends
knew that ne was I'll, and even those
who did know this did not think he was
seriously sick three weeks ago, and II
was only during the past week that his
friends and relatives became alarmed in
regard to his condition. Knowing that
death was near he remained the same
genial man and confronted his death
without fear.
Mr. Dunning was the son Of James Dun
ming, who was once postmaster OF this
city Mr. Dunning at the time OF his
death was about 60 years of age and
was for years one of the most successful
business men in this city. He conducted

w. R. WELLS TO HANG;
TO BE RE-SENTENCED

The remittur of the supreme court In
the case of the state versus S. r. Wells
has been received by Clerk Arnold
Broyles, of the superior court, announcing
that the supreme court has affirmed the
decision of the lower. court. 1t was nee
essary to receive this official statement
from the supreme court before Wells could
be resentenced to hang, and it is more
than probable that he will be sentenced on
today or Tuesday.
The law requires that Wells must be
given twenty days after he is sentenced,
in which to ask for a new trial, If his at
torneys decide to do so. Wells will prob
ably be sentenced today to hang,
and the date Of his execution will
most likely be the 18th of July. OF course
Judge Gambler, who will pass sentence,
may give Wells more than twenty days,
but ii is hardly likely that he will do so,
as Wells may not make another effort to
secure a new trial.
The crime for which Wells is to be
sentenced to die was most peculiar
one. Wells, who was proprietor of a
wood yard, approached Frederick Pierce,
a blind man, on Decatur street, near
Butler, just beyond police headquarters,
and asked Pierce why he had stopped
trading with him. This question brought
on a dispute and Wells stabbed Pierce in
the head with his pocket knife, infiicting
was leading him, attacked Wells with a
stick after he had stabbed his father
and dealt him several blows before he
could be stopped.
Wells, in his trial., claimed that Pierce
had struck him with a stick and that he
stabbed the blind man in self-defense.
The prosecution, on the other hand
claimed that after the difficulty with
Pierce Wells. had gone down the street
xrffh friends a
then returned to where Pierce was
standing and stabbed him to death
Pierce was found guilty of murder and
sentenced to hang An appeal was taken
TO the supreme court, but that tribunal
decided that there had been no flaws in
the trial in the superior court and re-
fused to reverse the decision.
Wells claims to have attacks of insanity.
He claimed that when a small boy he
received a frightful blow on the head,
which affected his mind. In fact, there is
in the mans head an awful indentatiOn,
which he claims is the result of the blow.
Only about three weeks before he muir
dered Pierce Wells attacked court baillff
in his wood yard with an ak. claiming
that the baillff had used insulting Ian
guage to his wife. The bailiff had gone to
Wells wood yard to levy on some goods
which Wells claimed belonged TO his wife.
Wells struck the man with his fist, and
then, seizing an AK, drove him from the
wood yard. He was arrested for this, but
the case was settled. Three weeks later he
stabbed Pierce to death.
Both Wells and Pierce had large fami
lies. Pierce left a wife and six children,
while Wells has the same number of chill
dren.
Wells, in his cell at the Tower, though
he knows his doom is near, is a very con-
tented man. He was recently converted in
the Jail, and was baptized in a bathtub in
lieu of a baptismal fount. He knows that
his life cannot be saved, and is prepared
for his fate.

THE DEAD KING
IN DRESDEN
IS BURIED
ENTIRE P0PULACE M0URNS
, DEATH OF KING ALBERT OF
SAX0NY, WHOM THEY ALL
LOVED.

BERLIN, Jupe 21.-The body Of the late
King Albert, Of Saxony, was brought in
state to Dresden this morning, the new
king. George, with the princes of the
royal house, accompanying the remains
on foot throughout the streets to the
Catholic church of the royal court. t-
During the procession, the bells rang
without interruption and cannon doomed
continuously in honor of the dead SOW
ereign, while silent crowds thronged the
route bareheaded, as the remains passed
by. The queen dowager Joined the mourn.
ers as the body was placed on the bier.
King George, it Is stated, will follow
in all respects the policy of his prede-
cessor. He is a widower, his wife. who
was a Portuguese princess, having died
in 1884.
The late King Albert of Saxony was
always specially kind to Americans who
visited Dresden and was always access
ible to those who had any reason to see
him beyond mere curiosity. The men,
bers of the American colony in Dresden
liked the late king. These considerations
and the fact that he was the oldest SOW
ereign in Germany doubtless caused the
state department at Washington to direct
Andrew d. White, the United States am
bassador to Germany and John B. jack
son, the secretary of the embassy to
amend the funeral. The last time Mr..
White saw King Albert officially was on
the 18th anniversary of his late majesty's
entrance into the army. 1t was the day
the United States declared war on Spain.
Ascending the steps of the throne room,
Mr.. White and his staff were met by the
Spanish ambassador and his staff. They
shook hands and exchanged rather cool
salutations. The incident was the talk
of diplomatic circles. Mr.. White was
specially commissioned to represent the
United States at the celebration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the entrance of the
late king into the Saxon army. The last
American minister accredited to the Sax
on court was the late George Bancroft,
who, oddly enough, was never recalled
from Saxony, Bavaria and the other
states when he was appointed minister to
the empire, and these courts were never
notified of Mr.. Bancroft's death.
The new king of Saxony is chiefly
known for his military tastes and con-
siderate treatment of private soldiers.
having sternly put down the mistreat-
ment of soldiers by officers and severely
punished petty brutalities on the part of
subalterns and non-commissioned officers.
The king is a capable musician and is the
patron of many musical undertakings.
Nearly all the Americans who have
been residing here have left the German
capital, principally for London, though a
number will be present at the Kiel re-
gatta. The death of King Albert of Sax
ony will not change the program of the
regatta. Emperor William will take
part in the races; but the empress has
decided for other reasons not to attend.
Prince Henry of Prussia Is expected to
return TO Kiel for the concluding events.
