Attorney General Beck Resigns.

Washington, April 12.-It is an
nounced that Assistant Attorney Gen
eral James NJ Beck rendered his re-
signation to President Roosevelt before
the Presidents departure for the
West. In rendering his resignation
MIR. Beck took occasion to express his
pride and qualification at having been
privileged to serve under the Presi-
dents administration and that of his
predecessor. In accepting the resigna-
ton, the President spoke of the marx
ed ability with which Mr.. Beck bad
performed his duties, and expressed
his regret at receiving his resignation.
Mr. Beck will become member Of
the law firm of Shearman & Sterling,

Mr.. Beck was appointed by Presi-
deaf Mckinley in July, 1900. He had

The leWa viii Have TO go OUT
of Commission.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1o.-The
damage to the battle ship Iowa, caused
by the premature explosion of a she'll
in the forward port 12-inch gun, has
developed to be more serious than was
thought when the first examination
was made, and as consequence the
: big ship has been ordered to the New
York navy yard to go out OF commls-
sion. She steamed down to the Pensa-
cola navy yard today, where she is TT
ting out with supplies and coal pre-
paratory to sailing as soon as possible
for the North. It is known that three
decks, including the upper deck IN
the forward part of the ship, will have
TO be entirely removed and rebui' It. It
is feared that the steel supports un-
der the l2-inch port turret are sprung
TO such an extent that they will have
to Be removed. though this cannot yet
Sbe stated positively. The gun itself
IS hopeless wreck. Although the
gun which burst went into numberless
pieces, the end of the gun is as smooth
as It had been turned out Of shop,
and except that it is about twelve feet
shorter than the straboard gun, 1T is
hardly noticeable that the explosion
occurred. According to the record OF
the exploded gun, it was good for at
least another year OF service, and re-
ports that the gun had been condemn
ed are without foundation.

Mr. James S. Harlan, who for two
years has been Attorney General of
Porto Rico, has resigned and returned
to this country. Re gives an interest
ing account of the condition Of affairs
IN the island, which he has recently
quilted.
Porto Rico not only has no debt,
but has a surplus of $500, 900 in the

Of no other State or Territory in a
similar position, though Kentucky at
one time had s400, o00 or $500, 600.
The amount in the treasury has often
exceeded in many States, but there are
few States out Of debs. Kentucky is
not now ont of debt, because there is
permanent debt which cannot be
paid. However, this: State has very
little bonded debt left, which is due
and payable. The fortunate position
OF Porto Rico in this respect, how
ever, is due. to exceptional favors.
a II that the people pay or taxes stays
in the island instead of being paid
into the Federal Treasury. The total
income of the Island is 81. 800, 900, of
which 81, SOC, coo are derived from the
Federal revenues. It is evident, there
fore, that but for the Federal revenue
turned over the island would lack
good deal Of paying its way. IN
donotedly, free trade with the United
States has done much to promote the
prosperity OF the island.

QUEER CASE IN HEWBERRY.
a Negro Tried For The Usual
Crime and Found Guilty With a
Recommendation to Mercy.

Neberry, April 1o.-A verdict Of
guilty, with recommendation tc

the case of George Strother, charged
with rape. Late this afternoon a mo-
sion for a new trial has been entered
by his attorneys, Messrs. O. LSchum-
pert and T. Fl. Dominick.
In it's very nature the trial was one
of the most remarkable ever held in
NeWberry. The alleged cri1Ae was
committed on the 18th day Of Febru-
ary upon the person of white woman,
Miss Emma Bowers, who lives in the
lower part.of the county.
Strother was arrested on the second
day of March. After thorough per-
sonal investigation and on the request
of Miss Bowers's, relatives, Solicitor
Sease called a special term of Court
for the trial of the case and the Hon.
G. Duncan Bellinger was appointed
Judge.
witness for the State. Strother ad-
mitted the intimacy, claiming it was
with Miss Bowers's consent. The jury
we're out for more than three hours.
There was never at any time

DANISH WEST indies.
The Islands May Yet be ceded TO
the United States.

Washington, April 11.-Advices .re-
ceived are to the effect that the royal
commission left St. Thomas few
DAYS ago for Denmark in pessimistic
frame of mind. After the treaty of
cession had been laid aside, the Danish
Government, to placate the residents of
the Danish West Indies and the peo-
pie at home who favored cession to
the United States, sent this commis-
sion to the islands to devise means for
the improvement of the condition Of
the islanders by the readjustment Of
s..laries, the establishments of direct
lines of STEAMSHIPS and changes in Gus
toms dues, which, it was hoped,
might reconcile the islanders to their
retention by Denamrk. 1t now ap
pears that the commission. was very
much discouraged by what they saw
and heard, so it is entirely possible
that there will be strong revisal of
the cession movement in Denmark
when trey return. Technically the
treaty of cession, ratified by the Unit
ed States Senate, is pending before
the Danish Government and, if there
is change in public feeling there, it
may be ratified and the cession com
pleted, providing the Riesdag is call
ed in special session before July, when
the time allowed for exchange Of
ratifcatiens expires.

Alleged scandaIous Doings of
Postal Employees. =

Washington, April 11.-There we're
two important developments today in
the investigation of the affairs of the
postofice department. The first was
the fling of charges that advance in
formation had been furnished wagon
manufacturers regarding rural routes,
and the other was the issuance of an
order to Postmaster Vancott, of New
York, city. directing him to hold up
all the promotion and extra clerk al
lowance cases recently announced for
the New York city service for the next
fiscal year. Fresh charges were filed
by a Western establishment engaged
in the manufacture of vehicles, alleg-
ing that competing houses had gotten
the benefit of advance information re-
garding rural free delivery routes and
the appointment of rural free delivery
carriers. The charges allege that
the complaining company, upon an
nouncement of appointment of rural
carriers, gave Instructions to their
agents in various sections to negotiate
with them for the sale Of the wagons,
buggies or other vehicles for use in
performing the postal service, and
that in number of cases cited the
agents made reply that the carriers
had previously procured their outfits,
sometimes, it is asserted, several weeks
before. 1t is also alleged that in one
instance cited a representative Of
certain factory was accompanied on
the route by the regular carrier
thereof, the latter advising and urging
the sale of the articles offered by the
commercial representative. The COM
plainants say in the charges that the
conditions cited "savor of the star
route methods OF twenty or twenty-five
years ago. :"
When the attention of Acting Post
master General WyDne was called to
the charges he refused to discuss them,
but admitted that they had been fled.
and would be turned over to the in
spectors for consideration.
An order issued today. by Acting
Postmaster General Wynne directs the
postmaster of New York to withhold
any action on the promotions and
otner allowances recently ordered and
to return certain of the cases. The
full list OF promotions to be made in
the New York Office will not be finally
made up until the cases are thorough
ly investigated Postmaster Eancott
will be held responsible for any pro-
motions that be endorses, and those
that are not endorsed by him in the
usaul way will not be allowed to go
through. Three were l. .T6,promotions
and an allowance of three hundred ad-
ditional clerks at 5000 per annum.

4 MASSACRE IN hiAaANl0.
Sixty Moros Killed, Only Eleven
Americans Wounded and Ncne
Killed.

Manila, March 1.-THE investment
of Bacolod, island OF Mindanao, wtich
was captured by Capt Pershings'
forces, after fight in which hundred
Moros were killed, occupied three
days. The final assault was made at
noon Wednesday. Desperate fighting
took place inside the forts. Seven can
mons were captured and eleven Ameri-
cans we're wounded, few Of them
seriously. It is probable that all the
Americans will recover.
The column approached Bacolod ear
ly on Monday and found new forts,
which had been a year under construc-
tion, flying battle flags. The Moros
did not wait to be attacked, but fred a
volley, which wounded two Ameri
cans. Capt. Pershing then decided to
lombard the fortifcations, and Nc
Nair's and Gatley's batteries took up
positions and shelled the forts and
works until Wednesday morning, the
infantry and cavalry supporting the
attack. Many of the Moros lett the
forts on Monday and Tuesday nights
and escaped in boats on the lake. The
assault on Wednesday was carefully
prepared. The column carried forward
a bamboo bridge, on which the troops
crossed the moa5 under fire, aud after
wards scaled the walls. The fighting
inside the forts was most desperate.
Sixty dead Moros were found inside
the walls and forty were killed in the
trenches. The whereabouts of the
Sultan of Bacolod is not known. He
is believed to have escaped on Monday

left that the maximum of the food
has about reached the lower river,
and that with determined efforts there
is still chance of success remaining,
conference of the interests affected
by the Hymelia crevasse was held
here today, and after full canvass of
the situation, it was decided to re-
sumo work on Monday, the planters
pledging subscription of $4,000 to
carry forward the undertaking.
1t is learned at the crevasse today
that both wings of the cribbing are
still holding firmly, and that the
broken ends are no longer washing.
This has encouraged the hope that
something can still be done to reduce
the duration and extent of overflow.
The river at New Orleans remained

their opinion on the present condition
of the market and on their interview S
with many leading farmers, commits
sion merchants in this city believe
that next year there will be con-
siderable advance in the price of pea
nuts There was much smaller acre
age planted this year than last, but
the WELD being above the average,
there was no shortage of consequence
in the crop. Probably not tenth OF
last years crop is now in the hands
of the farmers and there is not half as
many peanuts in the hands OF the com
mission merchants IN this city now as
at this time last year. Many who
planted peanuts will turn their at-en-
tion to cotton and tobacco. The land
in this section being 50 admirably
adapted to the raising of fue-cured
tobacco it is very likely that many of
the farmers who heretofore have raised
only dark tobacco viii turn their at
tention to fue-cured.
