SIGN STOPPED LYNCHING.

Colored Preacher in Texas Proved He
 Was a Mason.
 Dallas, Texas, March 13.-The Rev D. R. Stokes, the most prominent ne gro preacher and educator in Dallas, has given to United States Marshal W. H. .ArtWell the facts of an attempt to lynch him in Gregg county on the night of February p, and his rescue byNone of the most prominent white men of that county, who had been one of the foremost in demanding that he be lynched.
 Mir Stokes states that he had been hired to make speeches against pro- hibition, and had been campaigning vigorously among the negroes While he was making a speech a large body of white men rushed into the meeting, seized him, took him to the Sabine river, rowed him to the other side, and prepared to hang him.
 In his desperation the minister made the sign of distress of the Ma sonic order. One of the white leaders instantly stepped to his side and de manded that the negro's life be spared. He refused to give his associates his reasons for his change of mind, but simply said: Spare him and I will guarantee that he never again sets foot in Gregg county"
 The crowd finally consented and the white Mason hurried MT Gregg out of the county. The minister has not been there since aca.says he never in- tends to go there again.
 United States Marshal Artwell has investigated MT Stokes story and found it true.

Report of Army Engineers Will Not
 Be Ready for Some Months.
 Hartford, March 13.-Major G. W. Goethals, a member of the board of army engineers which under an act of congress gave hearings in this city, Windsor Locks, Holyoke and Spring field during the summer to determine the feasibility of making the Connecti- cut river navigable between this city and Holyoke, was in this city yester- day. He told reporter of the Cour- ant that force of engineers was mak- ing surveys of the river. The force is divided into two bodies. One body is surveying the river on the east side and the other on the west. One body IS now working near Thompsonville and the other has reached the Enfield dam. They are working north, the work of surveying the river having been begun in this city. It will take two or three months to complete the survey.
 After the survey is completed a board of engineers under whose direc- ton the work is being done will pre- pare an estimate of cost and the report will then be filed with the chief of army engineers. Mayor GSethals said that the report will not be pre- pared before the next session of con gress and he thought that congress would not come together before fall or the early winter. Major Goethals said that he had seen that congress had au- thorized the construction of q bridge in this city to contain &- draw. He asked what had been done about the bridge. He was told that the commits sion had approved plans for a bridge to contain a draw and he wanted tc know if it was a stone bridge. He was told that it was. Major Goethals left this city at 4:30 for New London.

OIL TRUST DIVIDENDS

The Standard Oil Company's dividend
this year will be only "A per cent, as against
45 per cent. in 1902. There are excellent
reasons for the belief, however, that the
great and good man at the head OF this trust
will not suffer the pangs of poverty because
OF per cent. reduction In his income this
year. When the first quarterly dividend in
1904 falls due he will get the benefit Of the
recent advances in the price of his product
and then he will have the laugh on those
wicked persons who have been gloating over
his diminished profits. While a righteous
trust magnate may temporarily sustain re-
verses be will in good season come into his
own. Honesty, says the old maxim, is the
best policy. Mr.. Rockefeller believes alb.
solutely in the truth Of this saying. He Is
convinced that he is truly good and he does
not hesitate TO proclaim his goodness, so
chat his admiring fellow.citizens may do
homage to him. They can't emulate his ex.
ample, for the trust controls nearly all the
iii fields and the common citizen is there
fore excluded from the ground floor" But
every time he puts up the price Of oil and
extracts additional millions from the peck
cts Of the public the plain people can re.
joice that the opportunity is given them to
exalt righteousness in the form of Mr.,
Rockefeler's pocketbook. Mr.. Rockefeller
loves cheerful giver. He knows that ii Ii
more blessed to receive the peoples pennies
and stow them away in his bank than to en-
courage the public to squander its savings
on less noble and worthy objects than the
enrichment of the Oil Trust.

GOOD ROADS IN TIE SOUTH.

An editorial in the Southern Field calls
attention TO the fact that the good roads
movement In the South mas made rapid
progress In recent years, thanks to gen.
eral interest In the subject and the ready CO.
operation of the railroads and commercial
bodies in position TO materially assist ad
vancement along the lines indicated. Good
roads are becoming part OF public econo-
my throughout the country, but the actual
accomplishment of the work has been espe.
cially gratifying In the South, where the de.
velopment of natural resources has made
transportation facilities an immediate and
urgent necessity, and where public spirit has
mel the demand on individual and organ
lied activity without hesitation or reserve.
More Of that spirit is needed where the pro-
Queer measures the cost of his production
by the haul to shipping points, and where
wear and tear on rolling stock and beasts of
burden Is no inconsiderabe item Of xpense.
That paper, after noting the general road
improvement In the South, says:
zone Of the most promising and crafty
ing features OF Southern development to-
day is the activity displayed by commercial
bodies In promoting road building in the
country, assuming part Of the burdens In
many instances, and thus recognizing what
has been so long largely ignored-the mu
tual interest and inter.dependence OF town
and country in one Of the most important
movements OF the time"

REPUBLICANS NOT IN LINE.

A dispatch from Washington under date
of the 10Th instant says: The course of the
Administration in the Panama question
does not meet with the unanimous approval
of the Republicans in Congress. In private
a great deal Of criticism is made by Repub-
lcans, and there is evidence of an inclina.
ton to resist the Administration.
The President is exertlng himself to the
utmost TO overcome this, but it is uncer.
tain whether he can bring about united party
support Of his policy. The sense OF party
responsibility for the Administration leads
some of the Republicans In Congress who
disapprove OF the policy to argue that the
Administration must be sustained in order
to avoid disastrous results 70 the party, and
this argument may overcome the opposition.
The Democrats in Congress, having agreed
upon policy, are expected TO present solid
front in opposition 10 any treaty with Pana-
ma, holding, as they do, that the Spooner
act is mandatory upon the President and
that, negotiations with Colombia having
Jailed, the President is requireI by law TO
undertake negotiations for the construction
of the Nicaragua canal. The illustration
presented in support Of the Presidents con-
tention that this law admits OF negotiations
with Panama in lieu Of Colombia is not &C.
copied as applicable TO this case. Even il
} admitted that II Congress had directed the
purchase OF strip oil land from John Doe,
which II was aiterward found belonged TO
Richard Roe, the President might deal with
Roe instead oil Doe, this illustration does
not parallel the Panama case. The Spooner
law directed that negotiations be undertaken
with Colombia with reference to territory
which at the time Of the enactment OF the
law and during the entire period OF negotia
tons under the law and for some time alter
the failure of these negotiations belonged 10
Colombia; and 1t provided single alterna-
tive course contingent upon the failure OF
these specified negotiations, that alternative
being that the President should negotiate
for the construction Of the Nicaragua canal
should the negotiations with Colombia fail
The minority in the Senate will insist that
no sort of excuse can be presented by the
President for introducing second alterna-
tive proposition which is not contemplated
In the law, the specification in the law o.
what the President must do in certain
contingency excluding all things else. The
soundness of this contention as legal prop
J osltion is said TO be conceded by some of the
leading Republicans in the Sc nate.
