Gen. Smith Held in Manila.

Manila, April 20.-The United States
army transport Buford left here today
for San Francisco after having been
detained in quarantine for five days.
Gen. Jacob FL. Smith, who was In
command of the American forces in
the island Of Samar at the time Major
w. T. Waller of the marine corps is
said to have executed natives of that
island without tial, was to have gone
home on the Buford, but has disem-
sbarked here.
Orders have been received here from
Washington to hold a court of inquiry
into the conduct of affairs in Samar.
Gen. Smith claims that to the best of
his belief, the officers and men Of his
command in Samar had to face insur-z
mountabIe difficulties, that the hard
ships they encountered were almost
unbearable aud that the treachery Of
the natives Of the islands is unequal
led in the history Of warfare. He
says the American soldiers acted, in
the circumstances with the greatest
forbearance shown in the war in the
Philippines. Campaigning in Samar is
not a pleasure trip but stern reality,
said Gen. Smith. He also expressed.
his doubt If the troops of any nation
in the world would or could have
acted in the circumstances in Samar as.
we'll as did the Americans.

ing bees, or substantially one for
every eight farms in the nation.
These farms reported 8, 4,l09, 626 swarms
or colonies, valued at sl0, l56,513,
averaging little less than six swarms
to each farm reporting. The
twelfth census is the first
to report the number and
value Of bees. or the number Of farms
reporting them. During the year 1899
there were produced 6l.196. $50 pounds
of honey and l,765,315 pounds Of
wax, OF an aggregate value of Sc, 664,-
9O4, or S9-42 for farms reporting. OF
this value 35 per cent. is from the
north central, u per cent. from the
north Atlantic and Is per cent. from
the south Atlantic, % per cent. from
the south central, Il per cent. from
the western states and .01 per cent.
from Hawaii. OF the states reporting
honey, Texas reports the largest quan-

ports the second largest quantity.
8, 667, 73S pounds: New York the third
largest, 8, 422, 497 pounds. The ,coun-

DISASTER ON Ohio RIVER.
Sixty Persons Lose Their Lives.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 2o-0ne Of the
worst disasters in the history of Ohio
river navigation occurred shortly after
4 O'Clock this morning near Ogdens
landing near this city. While almost
all aboard we're asleep. the steamer
City Of Pittsbnrg was discovered to be
fire. and in a few moments was
burned to the waters edge. The loss
Of over $50, 600 on the steamer does not
include the cargo, both being total
loss. The latest estimatessare that $50
persons we're aboard and that not
more shan half Of them were saved,
many Of the latter were burned or
injured. As the register of the steam
.er was. burned, no list can be given,
either of the victims or of the sur
;viivors, and in the confusion it has
been impossible to get complete
lists. Capt. Phillips admits that the
death list may reach 80.

Brutal Murder in Coileton.

Charleston, April pa murder Of
extraordinary brutality was committed
near Ravenels' station, Colleton coun-
tv, this morning. ". W. Jones, a
section master on the Plant System,
on returning to his home in the fore
noon found the body of his wife in a
dog house near his home. The throat
of the young wife was cut from ear to
ear. and the head was almost severed
from the body. A bloodstained sickle,
which lay near the corpse, showed how
the crime had been committed. As
several articles are missing from the
house, robbery is supposed to have
been the main object. Whether, as
has beer reported, there has been a
more 6endish crime will depend upon
the reports of physicians.
i band Of armed citizens was imfne-
diately organized and the sheriff was
promptly informed, but as yet no clue
to the murderer has been discovered.

One Of the firms that have lived up
to original principles is the Whitall-
Tatum Company of New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Chicago and San
francisco, says writer in the New
York Press. Until recently it was
Whitall, Tatum & Go, organized in
Philadelphia about Is1. I do not
remember whether the members were
Orthodox, Hicksites or Wilburites,
but they were conscientious Quakers,
at any rate, and for 12I years they,
their descendants or successors have
consistently refused to manufacture
whiskey TASKS. At the time of the
civil war, this firm, the largest manu-
facturer, of druggists chemists ana
perfumers' glassware in the world,
might have had valuable contracts
with the Government, but declined
them on the ground that Quakers,
being men of peace, should contribute
nothing toward the waging OF war.

The clamor for Conquest.
Fron the Al

lFrom the Atlanta Journal
There is a class Of politicians and
there are jingoistic newspapers IN the
United States whose habitual tone
would indicate that the true aim and
highest duty Of this nation is to assert
its power by armed force and ex-
tend its dominion by slaughter.
From the first of our truly great
statesmen and our truly illustr1ous sol
diers TO The last there has never been
one who was ever found clamorlng for
conquest or ever endeavored to SOW
the dragons teeth Of war. The men
who have, guided the growth OF the
country, fought and won the battles
Of the Republic. took up the sword as
a last resort did so reluctantly and
regret that It had become necessary.

THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TRUST.
II is Again Said That Morgan
Has Effected a Combine.

i New York, April 19.-J. p. Morgan,
who is now abroad, has practically
consummated plan to combine all
the leading transatlantic steamship p
lines. London dispatches to the As
sociated Press announcing the COM
bination we're today confirmed at the
Morgan banking house. The compa-
nies to be consolidated will, it is un-
derstood, include the American and
Red Star lines, White Star Line,
Dominion Line, Atlantic Transport
Line and the Leyland Line. The two
last named lines have been under Nor
gan control for some time. Probable
additions to this list are the Cunard,
The Wilson and the Holland American
companies, and it is understood that
g a working agreement = will be reach
ed with the other ansatlantic compa-
snies, including the North German
Lloyd, Hamburg American, Generate
Transatlantique (French) and Allan
and Anchor lines.
Mt. Mongan has given the matter
much Of his time since his arrival on
the other side. In this country the
more important details have been in
the hands of Clement A. Griscom, Of
the American Line, while Charles
Steele, Mr.. Morgan S partner in this
city, has had charge of the legal pre-.
l1minaries.
II is yet too early to give the exact
scope of the scheme, but as now out.
lined there will be an American hold
ing company, into which all the steam
ship companies which propose to enter
the combine vii put their stock-hold-
ings-pocl their issues-in exactly the
same way that the various concerns
embraced in the United States Steel
Corporation threw IN their holdlngs,
receiving in return stock OF the main;
Just What the capitalization Of the.
company will be. is not yet known.
but the, amount is likely to be well in
excess of sl5O, OO0, ,O00. This phase of,
the esproiect will depend upon the NUM-.
.ber Of steamship companies taken into
the combine. $780,
One of The most important features
Of the plan deals with the subsidy
anestion. White Star and Gnnard.
lines receive liberal subsidies from the
British Government. These subsidies
would be withheld or abrogated If the.
ships Of these lines changed their flag
from British to American. Because
of this the ships Of tbe. White. StaL
Cnnard and the English subsidized
companies viii doubtless continue
nominaly under British control.

Some Interesting Figures.

We give below some figures which
should awaken the Southern farmer to
the necessity Of cattle growing. In
the South Atlantic section, just where
cotton is the principal crop, the IN
crease is very low, and here we are
making the least progress in wealth
and prosperity. In the south, central
and western divisions The increase is
20 and SO per cent. .respe pectiyely And
here is where the greatest prosperity
is found. ss.-..
Study these figures and learn that
there is money in raising cattle.-Ed.
ANIMALS, FOWLS AND BEES.
The census bureau in a report on
;udomestiic animals, fowls and bees il
the United States on June !, 1900,
announiees that all the domestic AMI
mails ia the United States have 8
probable value Of at least 1920. O0o,
600. OF this amount the value OF the
animals on fans and ranges constitute
over 50 per cent, and those not, on
farms, per cent.

ted States follows: :eSs.ss,s<

risen within an almost incredibly
short period Of time. from nothing to
nearly the size of Deadwood, in the
palmiest days Of the Black Hills, and
its boom has seemin1y come to stay.
The town is built literally on golden
rock. 1t is walled in by mountains
of goldseamed quartz aud all its streams
roll over golden sands. 1t is the
centre and supply and distribution
point of hundreds, if not thousands, OF
square miles of gold-bearing territory,
whose riches surpass all ordinary COM
putation. Immediately around it and
tributary to it 296 stamps are pounding
out over two million dollars a year IN
gold bricks and concentrates, and every
day is adding to the number of the
mines and mills and theamount of the
weld. The historic old stronghold's
namesake is rapidly forging to the
front and inasmuch as Mt Keats lives
right in the midst of this almost
fabulous wealth and prosperity it is
but natural that he should have come
in for a reasonable share Of the spells.
