Were Dismissed.
New York, June 9.-Hannah Elias,
the negro woman held on an extor-
ton charge, was taken before Justice
Clark in the Supreme Court to-day on
habeas corpus proceedings. Sixteen
patrolmen, who had been detailed to
handle the crowd which clamored for
admittance to the court room, were
almost overwhelmed, and when an off,
Ger from the Tombs arrived with the
prisoner all the passageways were prac-
tically blocked.
There was some show of disorder as
the officer and the prisoner forced
their way through the crowd, but 1t
was soon quelled and the prisoner was
taken to a seat within the bar en-
closure.
After hearing arguments Justice

from $4,000 to 100000. He also dis
| missed the writ of habeas corpus and
remanded the prisoner to the Tombs.

Savannah Line Among Those the
Union Aims At.
New York, June 9.-The strike of the
marine firemen on the coastwise steam
ships, which is said to have been
started yesterday by the Atlantic
Coast Marine Firemens Union, seemed
to cause diversity of opinion to-day.
While the union officials said that 1000
men are already out and that boasts of
the Ward, Porto Rico, Red d, and NAL
lory lines would be unable to run, the
officials of these lines practically de-
MED any strike at all.
The union yesterday issued strike
order against nine coastwise lines. Be-
sides the four mentioned, the others
were the Savannah, Old Dominion.
Clyde, Panama and Morgan lines.
At the Red d lines about a dozen
firemen are said to have struck yester-
day, but, according to Supt. Dalls,
their places were quickly filled.
The line which the officials of the
union said would be most seriously
crippled at present is the Ward Line.
The officials of that line, however, de-
MED any serious trouble, and at the
! offices of the Porto Rico and the NAL
lory lines it was said that the effect
of the strike order had not been felt.

WAR IN THE EAST.

Russians think that the move
ments made within the last few
days by the Japanese have been
for the purpose of interfering with
any movement that Gen. Kuropat-
kin may have designed to relieve
Port Arthur.
Japanese have discovered two
Russian ships under water. One
of them is believed to be the cruiser
Boyarin.
Russians fired upon japanese
torpedo boats sent by Togo to
make a reconnaissance of Port
Arthur. One sailor and one petty
officer were killed in the opera
ton.
Russian detachment attacked by
a Japanese brigade, which forced
the Russians to retire with a loss of
100 in killed or wounded.
War office at st. Petersburg does
not admit the reports of land fight
ing at Port Arthur.
Kuropatkin reports to the Car
upon the bombardment by the Japa-
nese of a section of the west coast
of the Lao Tung peninsula.

UNITED STATES WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE BRIGANDAGE

In Dealing With the Troublesome
Situation in Morocco.
Washington, June 9.-Secretary Hay
to-day cabled Consul General Gum
mere at Tangier instructions for deal
ing with the brigand Raisuli, the point
of which is a positive injunction to
refrain from committing the United
States government to any guarantee
of immunity for the brigands or in any
way to take any action that would
amount to recognition of the right
of brigandage and blackmail in Mo-
rocco. This attitude will be adhered
to regardless of consequences to Perdi-
carts.
A cablegram received at the State
Department late this afternoon from
Consul General Gummere at Tangier,
dated to-day, states that negotiations
for the release of Perdicaris and Var
ley are still in progress, but that the
Sultan's reply to Raisul's demands as
to ransom have not yet reached the
bandit.

ST. Petersburg, June 9.-Recent Japa-
nese movements are interpreted here
as caused by anxiety to hamper, as
much as possible, whatever movement
Gen. Kuropatkin may be making to
help Port Arthur Not only have the
Japanese bombarded the west coast of
Lao Tung peninsula, where the rail-
way runs close to the shore, making
feints of debarkation. but Gen. Kuroki
has assumed the offensive eastward.
He has sent an overpoweringly strong
column that drove out the Russians
from a fortified position at Saimatsza,
twenty miles northwest of Feng Wang
Cheng, INJECTING a loss of 100 men,
The authorities say that they are
without Information concerning the
fight at Saimatsza, beyond the official
dispatch that was made public to-
night, but that the Russian withdrawal
was quite in accordance with Gen.
Kuropatkin's prearranged plan, al
though the Russian losses indicated
stubborn lighting.
Military critics profess to be not al
together certain whether Gen. Kuroki's
movement means real advance or is
simply a feint to distract Russian at
tention from Port Arthur, but they
incline to the latter view.

weevil in Randolph county? This is a
much debated question with the people

over twenty-five bales Of cotton to
the pillow. Several weeks ago. he noted
a delay in blossoms on his cotton.

squares, with a dead color which, upon
handling, fell from the stalk. A further
investigation showed that they were
punctured He found numerous bugs
or weevils on the stalks, Under the
microscope, they very much resemble
the Texas weevil. Whether they are,
or not, weevil they are quite as de-
structive.

white with blooms, but none have APP
reared. Samples have been forwarded
10 the government for inspection. The
