A small Rox Hung in Midalr.

A Small Boy Hung In Midair.
(From our German Valley Correspondent
Harry Lattsman, a bright little
newsboy of Belyidere, was caught on
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge that
spans the Pequest Creek here, and,
but for his remarkable presence of
mind, might have been crushed to
death. The train was on him before
he realized it, and the engineer, al
though he saw him, was helpless to
do anything.
The fearless little fellow flung him
self from the track and caught hold
of a projection, to which he clung
until the heavily loaded train passed
over the bridge. Then he screamed
loudly for help. The train was stop
ped on the other side Of the bridge
and the trainmen hurried back and
rescued him from his perilous posi-
tion.

n 4 ONTGOMERY, September 26- M Special )-with only nine dissent VI ing votes the antl-boycott bill was passed by the senate this morning and with the signature of the governor will be law.
 Although 1t was apparent from the opening of the debate that the bill would pass, the opponents of the measure main- tained spirited fight and the ground was thoroughly threshed over in impas- stoned debate.
 The fight for the passage of the bill was led by Senator Rogers and he was sec onded by Senator Morrow of Jefferson. The opposition was championed by Sena- tors Craig of Dallas, Nesmith of Lamar, Lynne of Morgan and Hurst of Etowah. Senator Frazer of Bullock and Norman of Chambers spoke in favor of the bill.
 Several amendments were submitted by the senator from Dallas, but all were tabled by the friends of the bill, fearing the additions would prejudice the pas sage of the measure if the amendments were sent to the house for concurrence.

MILNER WANTED IN
 BRITISH CABINET
HIGH COMMISSIONER OF SOUTH AFRICA IS SUDDENLY CALLED TO LONDON FROM CARLSBAD, AND HE MAY YET ACCEPT.

London, September 26.-The Associated Press learns that Lord Milner contem- plates leaving Carlsbad for England to confer with Premier Balfour and that he Is likely to arrive at the beginning of next week. So determined was Lord Mill ner to refuse a cabinet office that he told friends only few days ago that he would remain in the continent for a long rest His arrival in London and his change of plans will doubtless give rise to many reports of his acceptance of the colonial secretaryship, but 1t will probably be sev- eral days before Lord Miner himself can definitely decide.
 Other reports circulated here announcing a serious hitch in the reconstruction of the cabinet are based solely on a general lack of knowledge of Lord Miners in- tentions.
 The Associated Press learns further that Mir. Balfour regards Lord Milner as vital to the success of the cabinet and is willing to postpone the reconstruction of the min- istry indefinitely as long as there is chance of getting the high commissioner of South Africa to accept the vacant post. If, after personal appeals. Lord Mill ner persists in his refusal. the Earl of Selbourne will probably take over the charge of the colonial office. though all of the remaining members of the cabinet, frankly say that the Earl of Selbourne's removal from the admiralty would be serious disadvantage to the government.

TURKEY IS INsINcERE.
Sultan's Macedonian Commission Ap
 pears to Be Unfair.

Sofia, September 26-The personnel oi the Sultan's new Macedonian commission is alleged to be the indication of the in. sincerity of the porte's intentions. Tht Bulgarian representative, Nikola Rebeff a member of the court of justice at Mona stir Is 80 years old, and has been for many years an official of the Turkish gov ernment With the exception of HilmI Pasha, inspector general, who is presi- dent of the commission, none of tho oth- CTS has any prominence or influence. The fact that the Bulgarian population of Macedonia is given only one reuresen- tatsse is held 10 show that the porte has not accepted the demands made by the Sofia government.
 Negotiations between the porte and Sofia are reported to be still proceeding, but the situation appears to remain unchanged.
 In view of the fact that the powers de- cided to answer the Bulgarian note. 1t is doubtful if next weeks meeting between the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph will cause any material change of pol icy.
 The report that Captain Tchernopeff. captor of Miss Ellen E. Stone had been killed is untrue.
 The Macedonian committees have planned an imposing demonstration for tomorrow. There will be requiem mass at the cathedral, followed by a process sion through the streets. carrying black banners and portraits of the Macedonian leaders who have been killed during the insurrection

"The spreading race prejudice is occa- stoned by appeals to race passion by pol iticians The cure for the prejudice is the application of Christian morals and religion and just execution of the laws. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution should be held intact. It is not the desire, wish or purpose of the negroes as a race to seek maintain emphasize or teach social equality with the whites as a consequence of equal po- litical rights and they urge strongly that the negroes education should not be lim- tied to industrial training. They believe that the number of crimes charged to the race has been grossly exaggerated by their enemies; that the real facts should be collected and published and that the clergy of their race should teach strong ly against the crimes and against intem- peranee.
