measures which are. at any distance
from the head of the calendar must
wait their turn which will not come
until next summer.
The Senate is well up with its work.
1t will deal this week with the. uni
form text book bill. The Dodd bill. on
the same line, passed the Senate by
good majority some time ago, and that
does not differ materially from the sub
stitute which recently passed the
house. Senator Dodd says, however,
that he is not particular about having
his name attached to the measure; all
he wants is the law. He thinks the
Senate will pass the House bill with
out material amendment.
All eyes are turned on the investiga-
ton of the charges of lobbyism by the
joint committee of the H@lse and Sem
ate. Senator H. w. Hopkins, chairman
of the joint committee, has called a
meeting to begin the work tomorrow
morning at 9 O'Clock in the Senate
chamber Messrs. Tigner of Muscogee
and Overstreet Of Screven will be sum-
moned before the committee to tell all
they know relative to the general
charges they made on the floor of the
House. Mr.. Overstreet has promised to
furnish some names of parties not
members of the Legisla ture, from
whom, he says, the committee may be
able to gather some interesting infor-
nation. The committee must conclude
its investigation and make report by
Friday

ADDRESS TO IRISH
Is Issued by King Edward on Ar
irving mt CoWes.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Aug. 2.-The
Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert
reached here this evening and King
Edward Immediately ordered the issue
of the following address:
ITO My Irish People: 1 desire on
leaving Ireland to express to my Irish
people how deeply l have been touched
by the Kindness and good will they
have shown to the Queen and myself.
Our experience on previous visits had
indeed prepared us for a traditional
welcome OF a warm hearted race, but
our expectations have been exceeded.
Wherever we have gone. in town
or country. tokens of loyalty and af-
lection oroffered by every section of
the community. have made an endur-
ing impression upon our hearts. For
a country so attractive and a people
so gifted we cherish the warmest re-
gard. and it is. therefore. with su-
preme satisfaction that l have so often
during our stay heard the hope ex-
pressed that a brighter day is dawning
upon Ireland.
II shall eagerly await the fulhllment
of this hope. Its realization will, un-
der divine providence depend largely
upon the steady development OF self
reliance and cooperation; upon better
and more practical education; upon the
growth of industrial and commercial
enterprise, and upon that increase OF
mutual liberation and respect which
the responsibility of my Irish people
now enjoy in the public administration
of their local affairs, is we'll fitted tc
teach 1t is my earnest prayer that
| these and other means of national well
being may multiply from year to year
in Ireland, and that the blessings OF
peace, contentment and prosperity NAV
be abundantly vouchsafed to her
(Signed.) Edward r. and /.
Aug. l."
Copies of the address will be posted
throughout Ireland tomorrow.

ton throughout the country, and the

King has rendered the realm by his
tactful conduct
Even the Irish papers are enthusi-
astic declaring If only the King will
pay yearly visit or send the Prince
OF Wale6, If he cannot come himself.

They Asked That the Powers Give
China a Warming.
Pekin. Aug. I'm connection with
the recent arrest at Shanghai of seven
Chinese editors on charges of sedition
and the probable decision of the min
listers on the question of turning the
editors over to Chinese jurisdiction,
representatives of the reformers have
sent the following letter to the Asso-
ciated Press:
I'VE earnestly hope that the authori-
ties of the civilized nations will give
timely warning to this government,
which seems to be preparing bastile
for the true lovers of China
1T would be discouraging to pro-
gressive Chinese if the seven reform
ers under arrest at Shanghai should
be turned over to the Chinese govern
ment and beheaded Their writings
are, of course, offensive and Seditious.
yet they would be punished as though
they had spoken in a like manner
against the American or British gov
ernments which exist for the welfare
of this land has become so corrupt
and has proved such a curse to the
people that reformers deserve the
sympathy of all enlightened men who
can perceive in what a. miserable state
these men are kept"
The letter concludes;
SIS there any hope for China ex-
cept in revolution or rebellion"

Roosevelt and the children, alighted
and directed the attention of the Sc
cret service officers to the man, and

All the firemen and engineers, except
those mentioned. jumped and saved
their lives. Engineers Duke and Fitz-
gerald were seriously, but not fatally,
injured. The road was blocked until

NEGRO WAS CAPTURED.
He Is Held in Jail at Charlotte for
Assault.


Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 2.-Wilford
Roseboro, the negro who is charged
with having assaulted Mrs. D. Beav-
ers, in Iredell county, then numbering
her and throwing her body in a well,
is in Charlotte Jail. He was brought
here tonight by Sheriff Summers of
Iredell county for safe-keeping.
Roseboro was captured in Polk coun-
ty yesterday and taken to Asheville
Jail. To-day, when it became known
in Statesville that the sheriff was COM
ing there with his prisoner, a mob be-
gan to form for the purpose of lynch
ing RoSeboro. This was just before
the arrival of the train. Sheriff Sum-
mers eluded the gathering mob, how<
ever, and took his prisoner to Moores-
vile by private conveyance, and there
caught a train for Charlotte.
When captured RoSeboro had two pis-
tolls and razor on his person. One
revolver was identified as the one that
was taken from the Beaver home.
The prisoner is perfectly safe from
mob violence in the Charlotte JAIL
There is much indignation here, but
any attempt to mob the prisoner is
improbable.
Mrs. Long of Rocky Mount, who was
assaulted Saturday by a negro, on re-
gaining consciousness, said her assail-
ant was named Till Black. He is
known, and his capture is considered
certain, though up to tonight he had
eluded his pursuers.

Placerville, Cal. Aug. 2.-The con-
victs who escaped from Folsom prison
are still at large. The five who en-
gagged in a fatal fight with the pur-
suers at the Grand Victory mines last
apparently have made a successful re-
treat.
The dead bodies of Festus Ruther-
ford and w. c. Jones. the two militia
men who were shot by the outlaws.
were fouHd to-day where they had
fallen. Jones had served in the Phil
ippines as a member of the First Ten
nessee and the Thirty-seventh Volun-
teer United States Infantry. Gill, the
National guardsman. who was shot
through one lung, is now expected to
recover.
Another victim of the convict chase
was Philip Spinges, resident of this
district He is deaf, and falling TO
respond to an order to halt, was fatal
ly shot by a picket early to-day.
A report received this evening says
that four convicts, not believed to be
the same who ambushed the officers
last night, were discovered to-day near
Lotus, in the Weber Creek dist&ct,
by posse. A number of shots were
exchanged. but so far as known with
out result.
Posse Couldn't Fire.
News of last nights battle spread
quickly to Placerville and the surround

was surrounded by a large force, In
Guiding the entire strength of the
Placerville company.
Nearby and cooperating with thu
mi1itiamen was a posse of citizens OF
Placerville. They were within sound
and sight of the fighting, but dared
not fire for fear of hitting the militia
men.
Lieut.. Smith says there were four
convicts in the band that opened fire
on his men. but he was unable to
identify any of them except the negro,

creek.

ticularly anxious about the condition
of Cardinal Herrero, asked DR. Lap
POM through the wicket how he was,
and the doctor replied that he was
a little better, but still confined to his
bed. but the condition of Cardinal Gre
toni was unchanged. 1t is understood
that the latter did not wish 70 par
ticipate in the cohclave but Was al
most forced to do so. He is now filed
with doubts as to whether he should
give vote, being afflicted with a sort
of mania that he is unworthy to in
terpret the divine will by casting his
vote for any one.
GOttI Not Complaining.
Cardinal Gotti. as far as known, is
the only one of the cardinals who has
not made some complaint about his
cell Being a monk, he would consider
demands for comfort against his ideals
of austerity. To member of the
Noble Guard who wished him success,
Cardinal Gotti merely replied:
THANK you, but l shall not be made
Pope"
Prince Chigi, the marshal of the con-
clave, is rather disconnected because
he has no electrical contrivance by
which he can be notified from within
the conclave the moment a new Pope
is selected. He communicated with
Mgr. Merry Del Val on the subject,
and the latter informed him that meas
ures would be taken to notify the mar
shall instantly when a decision was
reached
Several attempts to establish COM
munication with the conclave have been
discovered in time, and there have been
some suspicious lights waving in the
cells of several of the cardinals, which
were interpreted as signals These were
Immediately reported to the Gamer
lingo by the marshal, and extra pre-
cautions were provided to prevent a
repetition of the occurrence. Conven-
tonal signs for communication, codes,
etc, have all failed up to the present
time
