BLACKS WERE DELUDED.
Wiley Agent Promised White Wives
to Carolina Negroes.
No. 1So

Spartanburg, S. c., Feb. 9.-William
White, a negro, claiming to be from
Washington, has been placed in jail
here for collecting money from un-
suspicious negroes, telling them that
he was an emigrant agent and would
take them to Washington, where they
could marry rich white women and
walk with them on the streets with
their arms locked"
White, it is said, operated out in
the country and gathered in a neat
sum. Then he came to Spartanburg
He promised the negroes that they
would be carried to Washington next
Monday by him, but the willy agent
first required the small sum of 81 as
guarantee that the negroes would
meet him at the depot Monday. His
case grows worse as new facts come
to light.
A negro brings in the story that
White says that the negroes who go
to Washington can marry white wo-
men, also that White claims to have
carried already some 10000 negroes
to Washington and that he is backed
by ample capital
White will be tried at sessions court

Atlanta, Feb. 9-Two coaches and
a baggage car of the regular passen-

The accident occurred at Round

F. K. Sitz, of Gadsden, Ala, bruised

DANGER OF FLOOD PASSED.
Chattahoochee River, Which Threat
ened Overflow. Is Falling.

GbSu NCIliOWy 10 dlIln9.
Atlanta, Feb. 9.-Advices to the
Postal Telegraph company from
Columbus, Ga, this morning state
that the Chattahoochee river, which
has been on a rise for the past two
days, is slowly falling this morning
and all danger of flood has passed.
The river last night reached a height
of 381a feet, over 36 feet above the
normal mark. Since last night a fall
of 2 feet has been recorded, and the
waters are slowly falling.
1t is thought that the damage to
property along the river front will be
considerable, although the loss cannot
yet be estimated.
All the false work of the new iron
bridge was washed away last night,
the river flooding that portion of the
town
Many of the mills along the river
will be idle for several days or until
the damaged incurred by the inunda-
ton of their water wheels can be re
paired.

Columbus, Ga, Feb. 9.-There is no
material change in the flood situation
here. The Chattahoochee has fallen
a little but is still raging. All works
on the river front have been suspend
ed except the mills at North High
lands.
The damage to the Fourteenth street
bridge is greater than was at first ex-
pected, one span of the steel work lies
in the bottom 0Of the river and even
if it is gotten out, the work of con

the safety of the lower bridge have

REDISTRIBUTION SCHEME.
Great Pritain To Reduce Ire lands ReI
resentation In Parliament.

New York Feb. 9.-The government
has determined to reduce Ireland's S rep
resentation in parliament, says The
Tribune's London correspondent. The
governments hands will be quite full
this year with Irish land and London
education, and it may be taken for
granted that the redistribution scheme
is to he the chief measure of 1904,
On the basis of the present pOpula-
ton, England has 36 members too few.
Scotland three too many and Ireland
80 too many. There are 103 Irish
seats in the commons today, end it is
an open secret that the government
Intends to reduce this number to s.

as the act of union gave Ireland 100
members. the imperial parliament has
no right to reduce this representation

San Francisco Feb. 9.-Previous re-

firmed by several persons who have
just arrived here from the Orient. DR..
James Young, surgeon of the steamer
China; David Austin and J. G.. Kav
anaugh are among those who give ac-
counts of the menacing attitude of the
Boxers.
DR.. Young, accompanied by AustiP
and an American engineer, and under
the direction of a Chinese guide, went
to Canton when the steamer China
was at Hong Kong Once within the
gates of the walled city the party was
beset by a rabble and was net with
demands for money. At the outset
the chinese were complacent, but the
moment the tourists refused their re
quest for coin the Mongolians hurled
stones at the visitors and drove them
in terror to the five-story pagoda,
where they we're temporarily free from
molestation However, when the
Americans emerged from the pagoda
they were again pursued by the mob,
which became bolder and more def
ant. and finally hurled missiles of
every description at Dr. Young and his
party. A great stone struck Dr. Young
In the neck and rendered him uncOn-
scious. The mob had almost over
powered the Americans when DR..
Young arrived and the three left the
walled city with all possible speed.
