PAYNE NEAR TO DEATH
sTIMULANTs ALI THAT KEEP HIM =. ALIVE.
Physlcians Announce That His COndi- tlOR is Worse Than af Any
 Time Since His Ill1ess / Began fT

Washington, Oct. 3-PoAtmaster General Payne tonight is worse than at any previous stage of his illness. save during the worst of his sinking spells, and his death, 1t 10 said. may occur at any moment
 The most powerful Rtimulants. in greater doses than ever. are being administered at frequent intervals and 1t will be due to them alone, It is stated. if he survives the night. With out them. 1t was admitted tonight that he could not live more than a few houtS.
 His pulse at times today has been barely perceptible. There was a se- were sinking spell at noon and aotheT shortly after o'clock this afternoon that lasted half, an hour. During the succeeding hours the sick man gained 8 little rest though he could not sleep long at a time.
 At 9:30 o'clock tonight pr. Magru- der issued a bulletin saying that Mir. |. Payne continued to respond so we'll to remedies administered and that there was a slight improvement Mir. Payne unconscious most of the time. but oc- casionaIly he recognizes those about him. He suffered considerable pain during the day.
 Another consultation of physicians. in which Dr. Osler. of Baltimore, is to participate, has been arranged for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

CONFERENCE FOR ANIITY
BARCLAY DISCUSSES THE AMERH-
 CAN PROPOSAL.
German Government Had Under Goa alteration the Calling of Con- vention to Fix the Rights
 of BelIlgersnfs.

London, Oct. 3.--Sir Thomas Bar clay, who has been prominently iden- titled with the movement for estab- fishing amity between nations, in- formed the Associated Press today that the German government had under consideration the calling of another conference to extend the scope of The Hague convention prior to President Rooseyelt's announcement of his de- sire to take action in that direction,
 There is thus little dificulty in that direction.' Sir Thomas said, about the adpotion of the proposal remember that Count Won Buelow stated in the Rsichstag a couple of years ago that 1t was the intention of Germany to call a conference; and recent correspondence we had had with the German authorities show the matter is being considered There is, therefore, possibility of either the American and German govern ments calling conference Jointly or that one will give way to the other. If all the nations will accept the pro- posal. it will be one of the greatest things America has done.
 T foresee little difhcuIty. The American government has steadily and constantly advocated the univer- sal adoption Of the principles that thefe should be. absolute immunity from capture of private property at sea during maritime warfare.
 If this could be brought about 1t would be an excellent thing. If we have to choose with siding with beI- ligerent and siding with the neutral view, our interest is to side with the latter. do not know how America purposes to deal with contraband, but am informed that 1t is Count Won Beulow's idea that there should be a limited area and outside the area bel- ligerents should not have any power to interefere with central commerce. Personally I see considerable dieicul- ty in arriving at anything but limi- tation of the area of belligerency for the present. We know this can be done, seeing it accomplished during the Boer war to some extent. I can- not think President Roosevelt has any intention. however, of calling a conference right away. but Russia probably would not participate now, which would deter other powers from joining"

Colorado Building.
 Washington, Oct. 3.
 The transfer of E. o'M Comdon. In- spector of Public Buildings at New Or leans, to New York City. has greatly Incensed tIia ofF8ciais at Democfatlc Congressional headquarters. It ig de- elared that Cpindou's transfer was made for political rYrf sss ana that tt .s Q r1fssfv~ af vaks .a tf si@si carsfee chraa mission should take immediate cosniz. affce.
 \ condon's past is an interesting one. He vas sentenced to irmprssonment for complicity in the Phoenix Park mur- ders, together with other Fenians. and through intercession of James G. Blaine. who was then Secretary of State, was set free. He subsequently, came to the United States. where he obtained em- ployment in the Government. It is alleged that Comdon. who poses as q martyr Is sent to the metropolis for tho purpose of working up sentiment among the Irish favorable to the Re- publican ticket and his transfer is sim- ply a piece of Republican sharp prac- tice, pure and simple. Comdon is well known in Southern and Southeastern Texas. his territory extending from that State on the south to Memphis, Tenn, on the north. r

WHITE MAN MURDERED
LON GAY SHOT TO DEATH BY TWO
 NEGROES.
He Was First Robbed, and When He Secured Gun and Followed
 Highwaymen He Was

Columbus. Ga, Oct 3.-CSpeeiaI.)- Van Mann colored is in the Columbus jail, and Eastwood Jenkins. another negro, is being searched for by Harris county citizens, the result of the mur- der of Lon Gay well known young man of Harris county yesterday.
 Gay was the son of Tom Gay, a planter residing between Hamilton and Chipley. He was member of the Beach Spring Missionary Baptist church and was a young man fovorably known in that community.
 Yesterday morning young Gay was walking along the road when he met the two above named negroes. They halted him and as he was unarmed robbed him of $S0. The young man went on home, secured a double-bar- relied shot gun, and mounting a mule started after the two robbers, over taking them about mile out from Hamilton. He drew his gun on them and commanded them to surrender. One of the negroes dropped behind a stump and drawing his pistol opened fire upon him. Gay fired in turn but the charge of shot missed the negro. most of whose body was concealed bee hind the stump The negro fired sev- eral times and one of the bullets struck the young man, who was killed almost instantly.
 Persons who heard the shot .asheCi to the scene and soon a crowd gather ed. From the marks in the road 1t looked as if the young man had had a desperate struggle with the robbers, and the theory was that both the me- groes attacked him. There were no witnesses. and the above account of the tragedy was given by Van laann, one of the negroes, who was afterwards captured.
 Mann was turned over to the sheriff and that officer started toward HamiI- ton with him. The crowd decided to go over to Hamilton and see the ne- gro. with a view of finding out where Eastwood Jenkins was in hiding. Tine sheriff heard of their plan, and appre- hending possible violence, took a crosa road, boarded a freight train ana brought his prisoner to Columbus The negro Is still in jail here.
 BIoodhounds were sent to Harris county today and the search for Jen- kins is being prosecuted vigorously. This afternoon it was reported that he was surrounded in a swamp north of Hamilton and that the swamp was beinny guarded carefully to prevent his escape Jenkin is an Eilerslie Ga negro, while Mann is from Hamilton. Mann claims that the other negro did the shooting. but 1t is believed in liar ris county that both negroes are i'm pIicated in the murder.

Hin Appointment VIII Re Shortly Am- nOuneed by Emperor.
 St. Petersburs. Oct. 3.-(1;55 m.1 Emperor Nicholas returned to St. Petersburg today from the south and the Associated Press hears on very high authority that the appointment of a comma nder- chief will be an- nounced within forty-eight hours. While General Kuropatkin's friends still insist that he will be appointed members of the Emperor's entouraRS express no doubt that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch will be chosen.
 The -oficial advices from the front today report that all Is quiet along the whole line of the opposing armies. slight Japanese movement has been ob- served at Fengtiapu about sixteen miles southeast of Mukden but therR has been no collision. The war office apparently does not anticipate fighting on large scale in the immediate fu- ture.
 The principal cause of alarm at these war of1ces Is occasioned by the lack of definite information regarding the exact whereabouts Of Field Marshal Oyama's right. The Russian scouts have lost touch with General KurokrR main army which may give increasinG importance to the flanking movement west under General Oku. which hither~

Ten days ago Kuropatkin and inc war office were convinced that the Japanese were concentrating at Siam shan and that an immediate advance was imminent in force.
 Accordingly the Russians fell back

But after several days they were suddenly Uncovered that the Japanese were not messing forward, and thereupon tho Russian scouts pushed out to ascer- tsin the cause. They penetrated as far as siansham and Siaodyr. bringing back the startling intelligence that not more than a brigade of Japanese troops was there This forthwith was followed up by important cavalry movements and the reoccupation of the Da range masses but Kurokis main body was not located. There were no indication. how ever, that he had succeeded in obtain ing a position further eastward whence he could make pivot movement against the jrailroad and consequently 1t was concluded that his main force must still be between the Yentai mines end BensIaputze. five miles east of Ventai station.
 In word. the present sdvIces indI- cate that the Japanese preparations arc being made more sloI5ly than suppos- ed. Possibly the delay is owing to their desire to take advantage Of the inc weather to complete their arrange ment for long winter campaign before actively resuming the offensive Ku- ropatkin's plans are carefully guarded.

 In his speech Senator Fairbanks re- ferred to the far-reaching fame of the section and dwelt; upon the necessity of preserving the existing political con- 1itions in order to maintain the present prosperous status of business. He said he had last been here when President Mckinley was a candidate and when McKfniey's name was cheered he told his hearers that while they did well to cheerl that name. they should bear in mind that they have In President Roosevelt a candidate who is inspired by the same lofty purposes as his pred ecessof.
