RUSSIANS JUBILANT
over Their Increasing Power in
MRnchurin.

Port Arthur. Manchuria, July Is
The conference of prominent Russian
officials has ended, and the last spec
ial train departed for Moscow yester
day. Most of the visiting officials have
gone.
EXultaton over Russia's increasing
power in Manchuria was the dominant
note in the gathering. The possibility
of taking any backward steps are
scoffed at if mentioned by outsiders.
The evidence of the increase of war
like preparations since the arrival of
Gen. Kuropatkin, the Minister of War,
and of the intention to bring more
troops to Manchuria is abundant.
The officials explained that Russia's
objection to opening Manchurlan
towns to foreigners was not based
upon opposition to foreigners, whose
trade is desired, but to the having of
consuls accredited to the Chinese gov

ly under Russian control, which would

The purpose of removal was the ar

cution and levy passed the House with
out opposition. The bill was by Sem
ator Shelton. and was made necessary
by recent Supreme Court decision, to
the effect that under the present law
these taxes can only be collected by a
suit at law. 1t has already passed the
Senate and now goes to the Governor.
The bill providing for the levy for a
sinking fund of $780, 900 is made neces-
sary each year by the constitution.
That amount of bonds is paid off an
nually.
School Books Substitute.
The resolution relating to school
books came over from the Senate, and
the House passed it by substitute.
The Senate resolution provided for a
commission to investigate the question
of uniformity in text books. but the
substitute provides simply for an ex-
tension for two years of existing book
contracts IN each county, until the Leg
islature can finally pass on the ques-
ton of uniformity in text books. 1t
may be that the question will be dis
posed of at this session.
New Bills Presented.
Among the bills introduced in the
House to-day was one by Mr.. Wooten
of Montgomery, providing for settling
the ute TO certain lands granted IN
the years 1898, 1894 and 1895 in the
counties of Camden, bingham, Frank
lin, Glynn, Greene, Liberty, Mcintosh,
Montgomery and Washington, under
the headlight system, and subsequent
ly regranted by the state.
For Poisoned StOmachs.
Mr.. Walker of Pierce introduced a
bill to require the state chemist to
analyze stomachs and other parts of
the anatomy of persons supposed to
have been poisoned, without extra
compensation. This bill ii is said,
grew out of the recently alleged poison
ing case in Tattnall county.
Detective Agencies.
By request, Mr.. Stovall of Chatham
introduced a bill providing for the Ii
| censing and regulation of private de-
tectives and detective agencies in the
state. The bill requires all such de-
tectiVes to register with the controller
general, who shall issue licenses.

POSTS IN MANCHURIA
May Soon Have VeXing Questions
About Them Settled.

Washington. July 15.-At the State
Department to-day it developed that
the conference between Secretary Hay
and Theodore Hansen yesterday re-
garding the Manchurian situation was
of the most satisfactory nature.
The result is that the secretary will
further advise the American treaty
commissioners at Pekin of what trans
pired yesterday, and it is hoped these
additional Instructions will pave the
way for an early settlement of the
question of ports in Manchuria, which
is the one point in controversy.
The Japanese minister. Kagora TIA
kahira, who was compelled to forego
his trip to Japan because of the con-
tinued delay of the departure from
Washington of Count Cassini. called
at the State Department to-day to in
quire regarding the conference yester
day between the secretary and Mr.
Hansen. The Japanese minister has
been given to understand that Mr.
Hays policy in Manchuria is solely to
secure open ports to the world.
