York, and the paper gives special at
tention to news from that quarter, es-
pecially the kind of news that does
not get into the American papers Here
for instance. is a translation of part
of the foreign correspondence of the
sixty-seventh issue:
Cantonese Correspondent.
"A letter received from a friend at
Canton city says that many places of
the province of Quong- Tung since the
rain during the seventh and eighth
months Of last year, until the third
moon of this year, the weather has
been exceedingly dry. Every one is
eagerly looking for clouds, and yet
there is no indication of rain. Even
the reservoir at Hong Kong is almost
dried up. All the homes of the mer
chants have to buy pure water for
their daily use. Inhabitants of every
district on account of the epidemic
raging among them by reason of the
dry weather die in great numbers In
village named Mock Tong in the Sun
Ming district is a COW, the color of
whose hair covering the whole BODY is
of glittering wilderness. Consequently
the animal is called the silvery
COW. All the neighboring villages have
dAoCeISCo III CIV diAllIS cilIlOIS them, ana
although the physicians were consult
ed, no result is seen. Some doctors
say that unless the milk of the silvery
COW in Mock Tong village is used and
is drunk by mixing it with water, there
is no possible way of curing the dis
ease. Then every family that suffers
of the disease drank according to the
direction of that physician, and has
been really restored to health. And
so this method of healing has brought
many to life again, and is considered
to be exceedingly wonderful. There
fore, all people in Sun Ming wishes
to lead that silver COW through all
places in that district in a parade. in
order to drive away the evil epidemic
and to defend their health. In that
place are also men wanting to take
that silvery COW to Canton City to dis
play it's wonderfulness."
In a footnote the editor appends a
frank evasion of consequences by say
ing that he is not responsible for the
truth of the story.
The Canton correspondent who first
gave to the world the silvery COW story
followed it up the next week with some
further details:
Another letter concerning the sill
very COW has been received saving.
That COW has been bought with the
united sum or eighty dollars or more
by two men from Mock Tong village.
The eyes of the white cow are of Grim
son color, resembling the color of cor
al or rubies. Because that COW can
cure the prevailing disease, the capital
Of Sun Ming district displayed IAN
terms and decorated the streets with
flowers and brilliant hangings. The
people hire that white COW and lead
her through all parts of the districts
around the neighborhood Of Canton.
The owner OF the cow Is said to have
obtained security for Il Of six thou

OBITUARY..


Mr.. Edward Mcintyre died at his
home on Gordon street, west, yester-
day afternoon shortly after o'clock.
The end came suddenly, as Mr.. Nc
Intyre, although he had been in ill
health for several years, had only re-
turned from Tybee on the day previ-
Gus and had not complained for some
time of any serious indisposition. The
cause of his death was rheumatism.
The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon at 4:30 o'clock from the family
residence, No. 121 Gordon street, west.
Rev. Charles H. Strong will officiate
The interment will be in Laurel Grove
Cemetery. Mr.. Mcintyre was a men,
Der of several secret orders, but none
will attend the funeral in a body, it
was his oft-expressed wish in life that
his funeral be as transformations as
possible and that he be buried with
the service of the church.
Mr.. Mcintyre was IS years old and
for many year had been one of Savan-
nah's most influential and highly es-
teemed citizens. He leaves a brother
Mr.. J. P. Mcintyre, a half-brother,
Mr.. F. H. Thomson, and son, Mr.. VIII
liam r. Mcintyre. He is survived
also by his wife, who was for
merly Miss Boulineau! He had been
married twice, his first wife being a
Miss Summers.
Mr.. Mcintyre came to Savannah in
1S49 when a boy of five years. At the
age of fifteen he entered the employ
of the Central Railroad, in which
he remained until six years
ago, when he resigned on account of
i'll health. He was for years
controller of the road. He was a
charter member of the Golden Rule
Lodge of Odd Fellows, a member of
Zerrubabel Lodge, F. and A. M, and
a charter member of the Royal Area
mum. During the Civil War he rem
dered service as a member of the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry. He was a
member of St Johns Church. and for
yeasr was a vestryman. He
was widely known, and highly
esteemed in the community. He
was simple in his tastes, and
unostentatious at all times. He was
highly thought of by the employees of
the Central Railroad, and though po-
lite and congenial with his men,
welded a strong influence.
At the funeral this afternoon the
following gentlemen will act as pail
bearers: Mr.. w. B. Metzger, Mr..
Charles R. Bordley, Mr.. G. H. Rems-
hart, Mr.. William Devant, Mr.. Fred

Germany Receives RooseveIt's Re-
Affirmation of Monroe Doctrine.

Germany Receives ROoseveIt's Re-
Affirmation of Monroe Doctrine.
Berlin. Aug. 30.-President Roose-
velt's fresh declaration of the Monroe
doctrine has been received here with
an air of wonder. The tone generally
assumed is one of surprise that the
doctrine should be reaffirmed so en-
ergetically at a moment when no Eu-
ropean Power disputes it, least of all
Germany.
Moreover 1t is asserted that Ger
many gave her assent to the doctrine
soon after President Roosevelt's as
sumption of the presidency and that
the State Department has abundant
knowledge that Germany does
not even contemplate securing
coaling stations in the West
ern Hemisphere. Some suspicious
critics suggest that something must be
going on behind the diplomatic screen
TO occasion the Presidents enuncia-
ton.
The, foreign office tells the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press that
official circles by no means share the
newspaper excitement. 1t reads the
speech in connection with the defini-
ton of the doctrine contained in the
Presidents last message to Congress.
which thoroughly satisfies Germany.
The disposition in some quarters to
regard President Roosevelt's speech as
directed against Germany is WHOLLY
tnadmissable, because Germany. as the
American government knows never
designed territorial acquisition on the
American continent.

Catarrhal Weakness
A great proportion of women have

been called by the various doctors she

not adapted to catarrh. 1t is through a

of the diseases that these medicines
have been recommended to them.

Mr.. John Levan, a brother of Mr..
Charles Levan of Savannah, was bur-
led in Providence, r. l.. yesterday
morning. Mr. Charles Levan was
present at the funeral, having left
here Wednesday morning in response
to a telegram announcing the sudden
death of his brother. The deceased
fell dead as he was alighting from a
carriage. 1t is a remarkable fact that
Mr.. Levans father came to his death
in a similar way.
Mr.. Levan was at the time of his
death bookkeeper for Hanley & Co.
in Providence, and was quite wealthy
man. He leaves a wife and six chill
dren. The only other brother, besides
Mr.. Charles Levan, was Mr.. Andy Lee
van, also of Providence.
Two of the children of deceased had
but recently returned to Providence
from Savannah. where they had been

MOVE AGAINST MORGAN.
British Government to Protect Ship
ping Interests by Counter Combi-
nation.


nation.
London, Aug. 30.-The approaching
expiration of the time limit for the
completion of the Atlantic shipping
combine is arousing the British press
to all sorts of speculation regarding j.
p. Morgan's ultimate plans, as we'll as
the governments scheme for dealing
with the combination. The promised
statement of the premier, A ]. Bal
four, on the reassembling of Parlia-
ment, is awaited with intense inter
est.
The statement has already been
printed that the government plans are
complete and that the authorities are
all ready to make an effective counter
move against the American syndicate.
Inquiries made in the best informed
quarters Indicate that this announce
ment is not true. The government has
had to deal with so many powerful
and conflicting interests that it has not
yet been able definitely to decide On
plan of action.
In spite of the opposition TO a gem
eral subsidy scheme, well informed
persons consider this to be the most
SONN%NACAAI
erous distribution of government sup
port, not in behalf of one, but Of sew
eral companies. The form which such
assistance will take is still under 6is-
cussion, there being considerable cppo-
sition to straight subsidies.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Balfours
announcement will include a scheme
for a direct. fast Canadian service
in which the Canadian Pacific
Railroad will probably participate,
but not, as originally planned, as sole
promoter and beneficiary.
The indications point more and more
to the drawing together of the At
lantic lines outside of the Morgan COM
bine. One of the alliances which may
be earliest expected is a combine of
the Allan Line and Elder, Dempster
& Co.
The heads of the English lines are
chary in expressing themselves on the
Atlantic outlook. Time is rather in
tensifying than allaying their jealousy
of the Americans bid for the Atlantic
trade, and the government has been
SO thoroughly stirred up that it will
not leave a stone unturned to allow
the existing commercial and colonial
discomfort.

warm when, after the parade, Emperor
William and the Italian King rode
back to the castle at the head of the
troops. The weather was beautiful.
Mai. Gems. Henry C. Corbin and
Samuel B. NJ. Young and Brig. Gen.
Leonard Wood U. S. A, accompanied
by their aides-de-camp, attended the
parade
Riding down the lines of troops and
guests at the review, Emperor William,
who usually on these occasions does
not acknowledge salutes, singled out
the American generals, turned his head
sharply around and raised his baton
to his helmet. All those in that part of
the field, especially the ambassadorial
cluster, were much interested.
After that his majesty devoted him
self to the King of Italy and the duties
of the day, not speaking to any of the
foreign officers, except the Italian.
Brig. Gen. Wood, who arrived here
last night, was not in uniform, his
military trappings being with his de-
layed baggage, so he saw the review
from carriage with John b. Jack
son, secretary of the United States
embassy at Berlin.
About 10000 troops, third of the
number being cavalry, took part in the
review, which was the customary brill
liant spectacle.

HILANDS GOT TOO MUCH.
PittsburE Broker Wants a Share of
Steel Trust Spells.


Chicago, Aug. 30.-The hearing of
testimony in a legal tangle that comes
as an echo Of the absorption of the
Carnegie Company by the United
States Steel Corporation was closed
to-day before Marshall Sampsell, clerk
of the United States Circuit Court,
acting as special commissioner.
The suit involves the transfer of over
$5,000,c00 of stock of the Carnegie Com
pany held by prominent Pittsburg peo-
pie, and specifically is in the form OF
a petition for an accounting of profits
received by William ]. Hilands of the
firm of Hilands, Gartside & Co., of This
city for securing stocks for the United
States Steel Corporation. William il.
VanTine of Pittsburg is the complain
ant.
According to Mr.. VanTine he repre-
sented the Carnegie Company share
holders. in Pittsburg and acted as SELL
ing agent. He alleged that the Chicago
broker was on the other side of the
deals, and by agreement was supposed
to divide the profits with Mr.. VanTine
equally. The profits from the broker
age dues on the transfer is said to
be in excess of 100000. of which the
Pittsburg man asks for half. instead
of $4,000, which he says he received.
The deals were carried through in
February, 1901, and it is alleged that
Hilands represented J. P. Morgan &
Co. in the transactions. Hilands is
said to have received $1,000 a share for
the Moreland stock, and VanTine al
legged that Moreland received only ST. 200
q share. Hilands is said to have made
$4,000 profit out of the deals, but it
is said that he in turn had to pay
President Delaf1eld $24,771 for a three
minutes interview with ]. P. Nor
