DEMAND REMOVAL
NEWSPAPERS AFTER POSTMASTER
GENERAL PAYNE.

Payne Declares Only Death or Rs-
movai Can Get riIn Out, Bat He WIN
Probably DO the AIger Route.

Washington. June 22.--It looks very
much as II Postmaster-ceneral Payne
we're going to be forced out Of the cab
met by the attacks Of the newspapers
which are not at ali satisfied with the
way in which he has managed the In
vestigation Of the scandals in the
Postoflce Department. Probably the
greatest fault attributed to Payne is
his treatment of the TuIIoch charges,
which he characterized as "hot air.
stump speech" and playing to the
galleries." His statement that at.
tacks on the PostofTice Department
were also attacks upon President Nc
Kinley or his administration is an
other feature that is severely criti-
cised. Papers of standing, indepen-
dent and republican, are quite severe
editorially upon Postmaster-Genera
Payne.
Mr.. Payne is not in good health and
he never should have assumed the
burden of the Postofice Department In
the beginning. The development OF
frauds and Irregularities have been q
great shock to him, and he no doubt
would be glad to give up the burden,
although he would not like to resign
under fire. AS matter Of fact, he has
declared to his personal friends that
he will not resign, and intimates that
only death or removal by the Presi-
dent could take him out of the Post
office Department Secretary Alger
took the same stand, and yet when
the Mckinley administration was at
tackled on account OF Alger, way was
found to secure his resignation.
Some papers are demanding that
Payne should go, and that Bristow be
named for his place, in order to
cleanse properly the PostofEice De-
partment When these demands be-
come general, and come from repub-
lican and independent as well as dem
ocratic papers, their effect will no
doubt be felt, and the Portmaster-
General will do as Alger did--relieve
the administration Of the strain.

ACTION ON CANAL TREATY URGED.
President Dives Colombia to Understand
That DalIying Must Cease.

That Dallying Must Cease.
Washington, June 16.-The Presi-
dent today sent for William Nelson
Cromwell, attorney for the Panama
Canal Company, to confer with him
on the canal situation. Mr.. Cromwell
spent half an hour with the President
in the forenoon, and the conference
was resumed by appointment at 3
P. NJ
It is understood that the President
is much concerned over the canal out
look. The Administration is not in
the least disposed to be impatient
with Colombia, and Is willing to allow
the Bogota, government reasonable
time to execute its obligations to the
United States. At the same time, the
Washington authorities regard these
obligations as more binding than
those of an ordinary treaty, and cannot
admit the right of the Colombian gov
ernment to recede from them. If not
carried out by ratification of the canal
treaty, which comes before the Colon
bian Congress- at its meeting this
month, the United States hopes Col
ombia will fiRd some other means of
executing its obligations to this coun-
try as regards the Panama Canal. Mr.,
Cromwell declined to see callers after
his conference with the President.

Nine People are Dead as Result Of Mis-
understanding Of Order.

Waterloo, Ia. June 22.-While going
at q terrific rate and turning on a
curve unaware OF the approach Of a
freight train, passenger No q east
bound, of the Illinois Central. crashed
head-on into the freight. Nine person
were killed and both engines reduced
to junk. The engineers and fremen
Of each crew are dead.
The passenger train had orders for
the right of way, the freight crew hav-
ing misunderstood the wording Of its
orders. The passenger was going at
the rate of so miles an hour. The col
lision took place upon sharp curve
and it is stated that the engineers
were not aware of the approach Of op-
posing trains until within a few feet
Of each other.
Had it not been for the makeup Of
the train, the Pullmans being placed
in the center, with the passenger
coaches on the rear, the death list
would have been appalling.

New York, June 22.-Advices from
Barranguilla and Cartagena show
decidedly favorable turn in the
controversy over the question Of
ratifying. the Panama Canal treaty,
says Herald dispatch from Panama.
This change is due, primarily, to the
Isthmian public spirit and to the con-
tinued publications here, by prominent
men Of both the Conservative and Lib
eraf parties calculating the important
points in the controversy. The restor-
alton of public order throughout the
Republic is also contributing to dis
pose opinions more favorably toward
the canal treaty.

ding from Cannon Fired by Miss

The baggage of the Kathryn Kidder
Company was levied on and the box re-
ceipts of the evening performance of
IAN Eye for an Eye" were garnished
last night by Twiggs & Oliver. on be-
half of a client. Eddie Murrell, who,
through his mother. sued Miss Kidder
for 1000 as damages for injuries sus-
tanned by him while acting supe at the
performance of Molly Pitcher" pre-
scented by the Kidder Company, Feb. 4
10. of last year.
1t will be remembered by those IA
miliar with the play Molly Pitcher"
that one of the climaxes of the piece is
where the heroine. Molly Pitcher, the
part taken by Miss Kidder. fires a can
non at the soldiers. At the perform
ance in Savannah when the. cannon was
fired Murren was struck by a piece of
wadding and painful bruise was made
on his shoulder. an injury that required
several weeks to heal.
1t was to secure damages for this in
jury that the attachment and garnish-
ment proceedings were brought last
night. They were sued out in the SUI
perior Court and were served by Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney. The manage
ment of the theater claims that the
property and box receipts being the
property of Mr.. Jules hurry, owner
of the company, they were not liable
to the proceedings instituted against
Miss Kidder personally, as in this case,
but to avoid inconvenience, gave bond
for $4,000, returnab1e to the June term
of court, when it is expected that a
representative will appear in Miss Kid
ders behalf.
Several other claims were also set
tied before the arrival of Miss Kidder
in Savannah. in order to prevent any
embarrassment to Miss Kidder.

for HISTORIAN Church.
Rev. Elias George, native of Chal-

Church of that country, is in the city
collecting funds for the purpose of
erecting a church for his people at
Asis, Chaldea. He speaks English very
little, and carries letters of introduce
ton, explaining his object and purpose
in this country. These credentials are
from many royal people of Europe and
prominent men in America, among
them being letters from Cows. A. ].
Montague of Virginia, Charles B. Ay-
cock of North Carolina and NJ. B. Me
Sweeney of South Carolina. He also
has recommendations from pastors in
every city he has visited. attesting to
the good purpose and intent of the
work.
One of the letters states that Mr..
George is soliciting funds for the bene-
fit of building Christian churches in
his native country. 1t speaks of the
derth and desolation of the people and
country and the manner in which they
are oppressed by the Turks, and praises
his work.
Mr.. George has been in America
about four months, coming from Eng
land. He has collected several thous-
and dollars. He and a younger man
of his own nationality travelling with
him are stopping at the hall and rooms
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. They will be here a few days
longer, when the journey will be ex-
tended to other cities.

Superinte ndent AshmOre Back from
Meeting of SchOolmasters' Club.
Supt. Otis Ashmore, chairman of the
Schoolmasters' Club. returned yester-
day morning from Athens where he has
been in attendance at the annual meet
ing of the club which lasted from Mon
day through Wednesday. The atten-
dance at this meeting, Supt. Ashmore,
said was the largest in the history of
the club. and the meeting as a whole
was a most satisfactory one.
The members of the club visited and
thoroughly inspected the public schools
of Athens. and in addition visited the
Athens Normal School and the Uni
versity of Georgia. Mr.. G.. G.. Bond,
superintendent of schools Athens, was
selected chairman for the coming year.
A new office was created. that of sec
rotary, to which was elected Mr.. D. L.
Earnest, teacher of science in the
Athens Normal School. The next
meeting. which will be held the fourth
Monday of January, 1904, will take
place in Atlanta.
Before adjourning the club also so
changed its rules as to allow of addi-
tons to it's membership of superintend-
ents OF schools, presidents of colleges
and teachers of normal schools, in fact
all who have supervision of school
work. Such persons may join upon in
vitation from the club. It is expected
because of this change that the mem
bership of the club, which now amounts
TO about sixteen or eighteen, will have
been increased by the next meeting to
twenty-five or thirty.

formerly commanding officer of the
company, presented the various mem
bers of the company, who, during the
past year have made 100 per cent. as
an attendance average with the medals
and bars which are given to the men
each year at this time. In delivering
them Col. Brooks complimented the
company on its excellent condition,
and commended its officers highly.
The longest record of continuous
service is held by Quartermaster Ser

Thorpe is a close second, with a rec

When it is taken into consideration
that this record does not include ex-

fact that not a drill has been missed.
and when it is considered that there
are about fifty drills each year. il will
be noted that Cowan has not missed
a drill out of 500.
There were sixteen members of the

Read Passages from Bible to Robert
Simmons, Who Hangs To-day.
With Sisters of Mercy administering
to his spiritual welfare and comfort,
Robert Simmons. the murderer of
George Harris, spent his last day on
earth yesterday. At the stroke of 10
this morning he will be launched into
eternity and justice will be satisfied.
Outside of the remarkable manner
in which he has held himself together
Simmons has enjoyed other distinc-
tions. He will be the first man ever
hanged in the county Jail who has been
visited by Sisters of Mercy. and will
be the first man who has ever met his
fate in the Jail without having been
baptized in the prison. The condemned
man did not lose his wonderful COM
posure yesterday, and when be retired
last night there was no sign of weak
ening.
During the morning the murderer
saw his sister and told her good-by.
There was nothing unusual in the
meeting and Simmons was unmoVed
as during the day he shook hands with
his friends and relatives for the last
time. Two Sisters of Mercy visited
him early in the afternoon and read
several passages from the Bible to him.
They had been to see him before, and
he asked that they return and read
the words of God to him. Rev. Prince
Black, his spiritual adviser was with
him during the day, and will be at the
Jail before the execution this morning
AT the request of the condemned
man the prison fare was changed
yesterday and Simmons received his
meals from Chief Sweeney. Usually
in Chatham county men who are about
TO be executed are not given special
meals until the day set for the hang
( ing. Simmons sent for the chief dep
uty sheriff during the morning and had
long talk with him. He asked that
he be executed promptly at 10 o'clock
and unless there is a mishap and this
is by no means likely, he will drop to
his death sooner than any other man
who has ever been hanged in this
county. The preliminary services, the
reading of the death warrant. and the
binding of the prisoner will be attend
ed TO shortly before 10 O'Clock so that
the murderer can meet his Maker at
the very minute he desires.

Militia of Savannah Subscribe to
Fund for Silver Service.
Letters have been received in Sa-
vannah from Miss Louise DuBose of
Athens, Ga, who was appointed by
Gov. Terrell to raise a fund with
which to purchase a silver service for
the battleship Georgia" asking the
aid of the military of the state in her
patriotic purpose. Several of the COM
mands have responded with donations,
and it is probable that large amount
will be realized throughout the state
If the other commands subscribe as
readily and freely as the Savannah
companies.
The Georgia" is now in process of
construction, and will, when complet-
ed, be one of the finest men-of-war in
Uncle Sans navy. 1t is the purpose of
Miss DuBose to raise a sufficient fund
to purchase a service which will vie
in excellence with that on any other
ship in the navy. The subscriptions to
the fund have been large. Miss
DuBose is one of the bellies of the
classic city, and has many friends in
Savannah and throughout the state.
