WANTS NEW GOVERNOR
FOR PANAMA.

Recently Appointed Governor Said
to Be Danger to National Integrity.
Bogota, Sept. 13.-A proposal made
by Senior Perez Y. Sotos to ask the ex-
ecutive to appoint an anti-secessionist
Governor in Panama. has been ap-
proved by the Senate. Speakers in the
Senate said that Senior Oba1dia, who
was recently appointed Governor Of
Panama. and who is favorable to ca
nal treaty, was a danger to the national
integrity.
Senator Marroquin protested against
the action of the Senate. 1t appears
that he was able to give them salts
factory reasons for Gov. Obaldia's ap-
pontment. Senior De Roux, representa-
tive for a Panama constituency, re-
Gently delivered a sensational speech In
the House. Among other things he
said:
'In Panama the bishops, governors,
magistrates, military chiefs and their
subordinates have been. and are for
eign to the department. It seems that
the government with surprising tenac-
ity wishes to exclude the isthmus from
all participation in public affairs. AS
regards international dangers in the
isthmus, all l can say is that If these
dangers exist they are due to the con-
duct of the national government which
is in the direction of reaction. If the
Colombian government will not take
steps with view to preventing disas-
ter, the responsibility will rest with it
alone. Not native of Panama Is
obeying the reactionary laws"

SENATOR SIMMONS FATHER
WAS F0ULLY MURDERED.
Shot Several Times With shotgun
and Then CIubbed.

Newbern, N. c., Sept 13.-Furnifeld
G. Simmons, father of Senator F. M.
Simmons, was foully murdered yester-
day on his plantation few miles from
Pollocksville, Jones county. He had
been missing since yesterday morning.
Senator Simmons, who was in Raj
eigh, and Senator Simmons son James,
who is a merchant in Newbern,
were notified of that fact and both
went promptly to the old homestead
to assist in the search.
The body was found near the river.
Mr.. Simmons had been shot several
times with a shotgun. Bruises about
the head indicated that he also was
dubbed.
Mr.. Simmons was a quiet and inof-
fensive man about IS years old and
was generally esteemed. The cause
of the murder is unknown. A negro
named Daniels has been arrested as
the assassin.
Another account from Pollocksville
says that Mr.. Simmons was killed by
an unknown trespasser, who was
squirrel hunting on his land and whom
Mr.. Simmons went after when he
heard the shooting, and that one ar
rest has been made.

Kisses AND SHOUTS
FOR PREMIER COMBES.

Police Gould Do Nothing with Peas
ants and Troops Were Called.
Paris, Sept. 1S.-On the occasion Of
the unwilling of the memorial to Ernest
Renan, the historian and orientalist,
at his native town of Traguier, Brit
tany, to-day, some demonstrations were
made against Premier Combes in the
villages through which his carriage
passed on the way to Traguler from
Portrieux
Kisses and shouts of "a bas Combes"
and viva La Liberte" were raised by
the peasants at the ceremony, at which
speeches We're delivered by the author,
Anatole France. and others. Premier
| Combes, in expressing his thanks for
the excellent reception given him at
the function, said:
Il heard a few Kisses. Let me COM
pare them to the melodies played on
the flute behind the conqueror's char
| lot IN olden times to remind them that
raised by the people, they must gov
ern by the people"
During the delivery of the speeches
the antagonists of Premier Combes be-
came so threatening, trying to force
the barrier and shouting denunciations
OF the Mayor of Traguier, that the DO
lice and authorities being unable to
restore order a detachment of troops
was ordered out. The soldiers forced
the crowd back and restored quiet.
Inc premier was accompanied by Sem
ator Chdunie. minister of public in
| struct1on, who delivered an eulogy of
Renan many Republican deputies for
Brittany and other personages. The
memorial took the form of a bronze
statue, representing Renan seated in a
characteristic attitude, while behind
stands gilded figure of Minerva hold
ing up sprig of laurel. Among the
decorations around the statue were or
namenta1 notices inscribed, "Vive Re-
nan, Long live free thought" ETC.,
Which particularly incensed the Cath
ohcs. The latter arranged for an ex-
platory service in Traguier Cathedral,
to take place at the same hour as the
unwilling of the statue with the par
ticipation of Able Gayraud and other
clerical deputies.
The clerical party had thoroughly or
ganized their demonstration, and the
peasants from the surrounding villages
assembled at Traguier armed with
cudgels, accompanied by their women
folk clad in the picturesque costumes
of Brittany. Some of the bands were
headed by the parish priests. The Re
publican villages also gathered at Ira
guier, and along the route taken by
the premier and the two hostile par
ties raised cries and counter cries. Dur
ing the ceremony of unwilling the cler-
icals did their best to drown the voices
of the speakers.
The presence of a strong force of
troops prevented free fight.
"A banquet of 1000 Blues as the
Republicans are called in Brittany
followed the unwilling exercises. at
which Premier Combes, in the course
of q long speech, predicted that the
time was not distant when the peasants
of Brittany would shake off the yoke of
the clergy, who he declared were per-
sistent violators of the law.

Pekin Saturday, Sept. 12.-(Delayed

The Chinese government a new scheme
Tor evacuating Manchuria, further pro-
longing the time for the evacuation,
originally fixed for Oct. 8, and propos-
ing certain new conditions, in addition
TO most of the conditions included in
the last scheme.
Russia now proposes to evacuate New
Ch"ang and Mukden province Oct. s.,
hlrn province four months later and
Inc third province year later. Among
the new conditions Russia stipulates
that she shall maintain military posts
on the road from Tsitsihar, capital of
eIiung Kiang to Blagovestchensk,
@no on the Sungari river. The reason
russia gives for maintaining these
P"sls IS that they are necessary to
protect the commerce of the railroad.
There is a vaguely worded clause pro-
hlutlng heavy duties on goods trans
ported by the railway which the dip
omats construe as exempting Russian
goods transported on the railroad from
tne SurtaX which the British, Japanese
and American treaties substitute for
the Likin duties. The scheme also
contains a provision that Chinese troops
snail protect the branches of the Rus
so-Chinese bank when necessary.

BOARD, has informed the ministers that

PILLAGING AND BURNING
KEEPS UP IN TURKEY
Tventy-twO BuIGRrians BeheHded
While Families Looked On.

" ~ AOOACh Ohs
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 1S.-The AL
bantam and Turkish troops collected
in the vilayet of Adrianople appear to
be pursuing their usual tactics of
burning and plundering the villages
and killing the peasants, instead of
making an attempt to break up the in
surgent bands.
Very little news is filtering through
from Monastir, but all reports agree
that the position of the Christians is
desperate. The Turks are making a
clean sweep of the whole Bulgarian
element. The Albanian soldiers in the
vilayet of Adrianople are stated to be
entirely beyond control.
At Kostursco the influential beys
complained to the officers of the ex-
cesses committed by the troops. The
officers resented the criticism and told
the soldiers that the beys were friends
of the revolutionaries, whereupon the
soldiers burned the beys' farms. The
Turks have burned the villages Of
Almagik and Erikler in the district of
Losensrad
They beheaded twenty-five Bull
garians of Almagik in the pres
ence of their families. Twelve thous-
anu lIOOpS are assembled dEOuHu MIL
katonoVo and are engaged in pillaging
and burning the villages. The popu-
lation everywhere is fleeing to the for
ests and mountains. All the Turkish
population in the district of Losengrad
has received arms, even the boys have
revolvers.
The Albanian soldiers proceeding
from Odrin to Losengrad plundered the
villages en- route, robbed the churches
and burned the village of Korakej. A
body of Albanians going to Vasiliko
on the Black sea was attacked by a
band and is reported to have suffered
a loss of 100 men.
A band led by the insurgent chief
Atamasoff was surrounded by Turk
ish troops at Kokushko. After six
hours fighting the insurgents cut their
way through the soldiers by throwing
bombs. The Turks lost twenty men.
The final arrangements for a revo-
lutionary outbreak in Eastern Mace
donia have been completed, but for
some inexplicable reason the buildings
hang fire.

AMERICUs SCHOOL CLASH.
Mandamus Proceedings Prevent In
auguratiOn of New System.

Americas, Ga, Sept. 13.-The legal
clash precipitated by citizens of Amer
icus. against the Board of Education to
prevent the operat on of the school book
leasing system, recently adopted, con-
tinues, and is of absorbing interest. The
matter is now in the courts for settle
ment and will be determined Monday,
Sept. %.
Under the leasing system, the schools
furnishing all books and supplies, the
total cost per pupil, for the full course
of eleven years, will be $50. This COW
ers every item of expense.
Mandamus proceedings, to the end of
preventing the Inauguration of the new
system. have been instituted, however,
MANY patrons of the schools preferring
the present and more expensive sys-
tenn whereby all books and supplies are
purchased direct from dealers, and are
the property of the pupils, and not OF
the school board. Already many pu-
nils have registered and paid the re-
auired fee. ranging from 81 to $3.50 per
session.
