Mortified Will Spend Nearly $4,000
in Buildinh Highways.

Mortified is making a big record this
year in the matter of highway construc-
ton. Expenditures of nearly sl2, 900 have
been undertaken. The regular appro-
priation was $500 and $500 was appro-
priated for the state highway. The pro-
posed highway from the auditorium to
School street has been accepted and is to
cost $1,000. An extension of this to War
wick avenue is petitioned for to cost
$1,000. Then the approaches to the Schell
bridge are to be built at a cost of perhaps
$500. This does not include what the
highway commission will expend here of
the states money. The board are prac-
tically committed to extend the highway
the length of Main street. They may
ask for further appropriation from the
town before they do this.

RUSS0-CHINESE AGREEMENT.
The Manchurian Convention Now
Appears to Give China a Square
Deal.

The Manchurian Convention Now
Appears to Give China Square
Deal.
Pekin, April 3.-The signing OF the
Russo Chinese Manchurian convention
only awaits the receipt of information
as to whether objection to it will be
raised by other Powers. Since the
treaty has been modified as a result OF
the pressure exerted by the United
States, Great Britain and Japan, to its
present form, it lis not believed that
any difficulty on this score will be
encountered.
AS previously cabled, the evacuation
of the three Manchurian provinces by
Russia is to be carried out in three
successive periods of six months from
the signing of the convention. Vague
conditions, such as IF the state of the
country permits" are excluded from
the agreement, and it is stipulated that
the convention be ratified within three
months from the day it is signed. China
is permitted to maintain whatever
force she thinks necessary in Man
churia after the evacuation of that ter
ritory.
In addition to the preceding cove
nants, Russia agrees, if Tien Tsin is
restored to the Chinese within the first
six months, to vacate Niu Chwang at
the time this restoration is made. China
agrees that no portion of the Nieu
ChWang- Shan Hal Kwang Railway be
allowed to fall into the hands of other
Powers after Russia, restores the road
to China. China agrees also to reirn-
burse Russia in the amount spent in
completing the railway and in policing
the line during the Russian occupation.

beach, were in grave danger, but their
employees played streams of water
upon the buildings from all sides and
this doubtless prevented the fupther
spread of the flames.
All of the guests of burned hotels
have been cared for in other quarters.
1t was 3 o'clock before the danger was
past.
When the fire broke out Mayor Stoy
was in Trenton With delegation from
here to urge Gov. Murphy to sign the
new Atlantic City charter, which,
among other things, provides for more
strict building laws. When the news
of the fire reached him the Governor
Immediately signed the charter.
A special meeting of the city council
was held tonight to take action on
the fire.
Mayor Stoy tonight issued a notice
to the public deploring the calamity,
but expressing thanks that it was no
worse.
Charles Fraling. proprietor of the
Academy of Music and a drugstore
in the building, tonight said he was
the heaviest individual loser. He placed
his loss at upwards of S125,000 with
$4,000 insurance. Most of the fire
victims expressed a desire to rebuild
as quickly as possible.
The local board of insurance under
writers tonight announced that the
total loss would not exceed $750,000,
and the loss to the insurance companies
would be about $175,000 and that no
individual insurance company would
sustain a greater net loss than $4,000.
The loss to the municipality in damage
to the board walk, etc, is estimated
by the underwriters as between $4,000
and $4,000.

Leanvenworth, Kan, April Sober
lin NJ. Carter. ex-captain of engineers,
in the United States army, is seri-
ously and probably fatally i'll in the
Federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth. He has typhoid
fever and this evening his
temperature was 1861. Carter fears
that he will die before his affairs are
arranged. He has sent an urgent tele-
gram to his attorney, Mr.. Stone of Chi
cago, asking him to come at once. A
suit is now pending wherein the gov
eminent is tryi.-s 20 obtain possession
OF Carriers property, claiming it is
part of the booty he secured while in
charge of government contract work
at Savannah. This really will amount
to a civil trial, the thing Carter has
made repeated but vain efforts to Sc
cure.
Carter says he wants Attorney Stone
here so he can finish the brief. Then,
Carter says, the fight for the vindica-
ton can be carried on after his death,
should his illness prove fatal.
Carriers relatives and the attorney
will probably arrive tomorrow.

MAY AGAIN KILL BILL
SHIP SUBSIDY SENATORS THREAT
EN- HARBOR MEASURE.
NO SHIP CANAL BILL, EITHER.
HANNA AND FRYE TRY OFFENSIVE
TACTICS.

Republican Bosses Determined to
Put the Pet Measure Through at
whatever Cost-Friends of River
DO Some Plain TaILing-Win Hold
Congress in Session All Summer il
This Sort of Thing Is Tried, Says
New YorI<'s Member of Committee.
Washington, April 3.-Although the
Senate Committee on Commerce is
daily expanding several hours in the
consideration of the river and harbor
bill with the expectation of securing
prompt and favorable action by the
Senate, friends of the ship subsidy bill
are circulating rumors to the effect
that unless their pet measure passes
must die. The report was freely cir
culated in the House to-day that Sem
ator Hanna and Senator Frye, princi-
pal sponsors of the ship subsidy bill,
had threatened that there shall be no
river and harbor bill and no ship canal
bill at this session of Congress if the
ship subsidy bill fails to receive favor
able consideration in the House.
Friends Of the river and harbor bill
in the House are justly indignant at
these threats, be they authorized or
not and some very plain talk on the
subject was INDUCED in by Democratic
and Republican members of the House.
Indeed, Republican members who are
interested in the river and harbor bill
were the plainest and most outspoken
in their condemnation of the statement
attributed to the advocates of the ship
subsidy scheme. 1t is evident that a
bitter war between the House and Sem
ate will be the result if the Hanna
Frye plan of legislation is resorted to.
There will be no adjournment reso-
luton passed in the House." said Rep
resentative Alexander, Indignantly.
unless the river and harbor bill pass
es the Senate
This remark was made to-day by
New York's member on the River and
Earbor Committee, while commenting
upon the report referred to above.
That kind of game will not work
this year" added MIR Alexander. The
river and harbor bill has too many
sincere friends in the House to submit
to that measure being sacrificed in that
way. 1t has been three years since
we had a general river and harbor bill
and the bill which the House has
passed is a fair and reasonable meas
ure We don't intend to be frightened
by any threats the Senate may make
The Senate is anxious to rush through
the appropriation bills and adjourn
without making any effort to pass the
river and harbor bill. Well. # that
is the game they win find the House
prepared to play hand with them.
1t requires the consent of the House
to adopt a resolution of adjournment,
and the members of the House who
are interested in the river and har-
Dor bill stand ready to withhold their
votes for such resolution until the
river and harbor bill is passed, even If
we have to remain in session until
next winter"

CAPE TOWN MOURNS
THOUSANDS HONOR MEMORY OF
CECIL RHODES.
BODY CARRIED ON LONG CECIL
IMPOSING FUNERAL SERVICES AT
CATHEDRAL.

Leading Men of Colony Followed
the Corpse-ArchbishOp Said That
Cecil Rhodes Had Faults, but That
Nevertheless He Was a Great Man.
Rhodes Hobby Was to Develop
south Africa-NOt ChurchgOer.
Iut Essentially ReligiOus-BuriaI
Takes Place in Rhodesia To-day. !.
Cape Town, April S.-Throughout the
morning a continuous stream of peo-
ole passed by the coffin containing the
Parliament House. The funeral pro-
cession this afternoon was most i'm
posing. The coffin, which was draped
with the tattered Union Jack which
belonged to Mr.. Rhodes and with the
tattered flag of the British Chartered
South African Company, which went
through the fight at Massikessi, was
carried on the Long Cecil gun car
riage, used at the siege of Kimberley,
through the crowded streets to the
cathedral. The streets were lined by
troops who saluted the passing cor
tege. The pail bearers were DR.. jane
son, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, the pre-
mier Of Cape Colony and six others.
The chief mourner was Col. Frank
Rhodes, who walked alone and bare
headed, followed by the other brothers
of the deceased and Representatives of
Lord Miner, the British high commits
sioner. Then came the. judges, military
and naval officials, the representatives
of the colonies, churches and Parlia-
ment, the mayors of the STATS of the
DeBeers and the British Chartered
South African Company.
Conspicuous in the procession were
Messrs. Merriman, Sauer and Molteno,
former ministers, and a number of
members of the Afrikander Bund.
All business was suspended during
the funeral and all the public buildings
wee draped in mourning.
In front of the Cathedral stood a
huge crowd, and the building itself was
filled to its capacity. The archbishop
and other clergy received the body at
the porch. During the services the
archbishop made an address, in which
he declared that Mr. Rhodes had
faults, of which he probably was as
conscious as anyone, but nevertheless
ne was a great HAL. DClOlC NhC OAAoi
tered company was contemplated, Mr..
Rhodes said to him:
Some mems hobbies are to collect
butterflies and old china. Mine is to
open South and Central Africa to
British enterprise"
Though not a great church-goer, con-
tinued the archbishop, Mr.. Rhodes was
essentially religious. Before his last
illness he realized the nearness of
death and manifested an earnest de-
sire to prepare for it.
At the conclusion of the services, the
procession reformed, a dead march
vas played and the mourners proceed
ed to the station, whence the remains,
accompanied by the family, the execu-
tors of the will and others, were taken
tt Rhodesia.
The entire ceremony lasted two and
a half hours.
1t was the first public funeral in
South Africa which called out such a
remarkable demonstration of public
grief

President of Georgia Pasteur Insti-
tute Consults With Chief of Bus
reau of Animal Industry.


Washington, April 3.-Dr. Henry r.
Slack, president of, the Georgia Pas
teur Institute of Atlanta, was here to-
day to consult DIR. r. E. Salmon, chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, rel
alive to the question of treating cases
of hydrophobia. Dr. Slack says there
is dispute among certain members of
the medical profession as to the treat
ment of cases of hydrophobia. DR..
Salmon, it appears, investigated a no.
table case of hydrophobia in this city
which resulted in the death of wo-
man who contracted the malady from
the bite of a dog. DR.. Slack to-day Wis
tied DIR. Salmon's laboratory and was
shown two rabbits, who were in a dy
ing condition, having been inoculated
with hydrophobia virus taken from the
dead woman. DIR. Slack has given con-
siderable study to the subject of hy-
drophobia and whether or not it is cur
able. He will continue his research
further by visiting Johns Hopkins
University at Baltimore. DIR. Slack
while at the Capital, paid his respects
to Senator Clay, Representative Tate.
and other members of the Georgia del
egation.
Several other Georgia doctors are in

EGAN FIGHTS BRIDGE BILL.
President of Central Is Trying to
Keep House From COncurring i'm
Senate Amendments.

WASHINGTON, D. C. April 8, 1902. Mr..
the Savannah bridge bill, is endeavor-
ing to prevent the House from con-
curing in the Senate amendments to
the bill. These amendments are of a
purely technical nature, which make
it perfectly clear that the Secretary
of War shall have power to reject any
plans which are likely to obstruct nav
igation of the Savannah river.
Mr.. Egan conferred with Representa-
tive Adamson on the subject, but Mr.
Adamson declined to interfere because
he said it is Representative Testers
bill and the latter is now in Savannah.
Mr.. Adamson added that he, as a
member of the Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce, originally
reported the bill favorable to the
House on approval of the Secretary
of War He told Mr.. Egan frankly
that he did not believe the bill as
amended would obstruct navigation in
the Savannah river, and suggested that
if he had any further doubts on the
subject he should make his appeal to
the Secretary of War, who lis given
ample discretion in the bill to protect
the interests of navigations ~
1t is now up to Mr.. Egan to. induce
the Secretary of War and the Chief
Of Engineers, General Gillespie. to
reverse themselves, which the friends
of the bill say it not probable In
the meantime the matter is suspended
between the two Houses awaiting final
action by a committee of conference.
The decision of that committee re-
quires the approval of the Senate and
House. There seems to be no disposi-
tion to rush the bill through and final
action may be deferred until Col.
Lester returns to Washington.
