PEOPLE OF RUSSIA REJOICE
ND LONGER LAND OF THE KNOTT

r St. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-News-
papers commenting upon the czar's
manifesto seem to consider the aboli-
ton OF corporal punishment the great
est concession granted in honor of
the royal heirs baptism. They even
place It above the order granting am
ifnesty to political prisoners. In the
number Of persons it affects they are
not far wrong
While the political offenders are
tflumbered by thousands, the persons
subject to the lash for even the most
trivial ofenses are numbered by mil
lions.
Caused Great Suffering.
The whipping post has been for gen
erations an established institution in
every com mune. The suffering under
its regime has been terrible-more
terrible perhaps because the power of
inflieting corporal punishment was
vested in the elders Of the vicinage
themselves of peasant blood.
1t is history Of the world that such
persons aggravate rather than ease the
condition of their fellows when placed
in authority.
From the decision of the elders there
was no appeal, nor were they restrict
ed as to the number OF stripes vic
tim should receive. This fact gave
them virtually the power of life and
death.
No Longer Land of knout.
The Russ says Of the abolition of
corporal punishment:
1T will be hailed as the disappear
ance of great evil No longer will it
be possible to stigmatize Russia as
the land of the knout."
Now Country of Land Owners.
That part of the manifesto remitting
all dues from peasants who bought
'land on long time when they were

II have been mortified greatly over
the crime of this mob. take comfort
in the fact that 1t did not represent the
sentiment of the state, for its action is
condemned by the large majority of the
people of the state, and, for that mat
ter, of Statesboro and Bullock county,
the scene of the crime. No defense
can, and no apology should be made
for this action of the mob"

regard the Chinese empire, or at least
a part thereof, as being within the
sphere Of active hostilities.
China lacks either the power or
the inclination to prevent Japanese in
cursions. The warships of neutral
powers idly watch these violations.
Therefore, the agreement as to Chi
na's neutrality, made at the beginning
Of the war, becomes dead letter and
Russia must ignore 1t in self defense"

Port Arthur's Fall Imminent.
Chez Foo, Aug. 25. - The principal
Russian batteries on Golden hill at the
entrance to the harbor of Port Arthur
have been completely silenced; three
of the most important in the chain of
forts to the north of the city havei
been captured by the Japanese, and
from them devastating fire Is main
tained upon the city and the inner line
of defenses. The city of Port Arthur
has been practically razed to the
ground General Stoessel is fighting
with the desperation of despair at the
last ditch. 1t is only question of
hours, according to the reports of the
situation at Port Arthur which arrived
here last night, before the flag Of ia |
pan will fly over the captured fortress.
Golden Hill Guns Silenced.
The bombardment of the forts on !
Golden hill yesterday by the Japanese
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga and their !
ultimate reduction after withstanding
for hours the most terrific fire from
both land and sea, is regarded here as
the last straw. With the forts on Cold

to prevent Admiral Togo's fleet from
approaching the harbor's mouth and
pouring shells into the heart of the
city.
