SHOT TO DEATH.
Negroes Body Is Then Dragged to
Public Square and Burned.

Cedartown, Ga, Aug. 23.-Jim Clio
yer, negro, was shot to death last
night near the home of a. white girl
he had assaulted, and his body drag
ged distance of about a mile into
this city and burned on the public
square. A mob estimated at 500 COM
posed the shooting and burning party.
The crime for which the negro was
thus punished was criminal assault
upon Levia Reeves, the 13-year-old
daughter of a well known farmer.
After the little girl had protected the
negro from attack of a large dog own
ed by her father, he followed her to
the pasture where she was taking a
COW, caught her, choked her to in
sensibility and left her bleeding and
unconscious in corn field.
This took place early in the morn
ing.
Blood hounds were on the negro's
trail all day and he was captured
some distance away late in the after
noon, carried to the home of the girl,
who unhesitatingly identified him as
her assailant. In the meantime a
crowd of fully five hundred persons
had gathered and summary justice
was melted out to the negro as soon as
it was learned the young girl had
positively identified him as the right
man. The negro confessed his guilt.
Immediately the crowd took him
away from the posse which had cap
tured him and his body was riddled
with bullets and afterward burned.

New York, Aug. 23.-It is understood
by the Times according to a London
dispatch to the New York Times that
instructions have now been sent to the
governors of British colonies and de-
Tendencies that they shall not allow
coaling privileges to any belligerent
fleet proceeding to the seat of war or
positions on the line of route with the
object of intercepting neutral ships on
suspicion of carrying contraband.
Such a fleet is not to be permitted to
make use in any way of any port or
roadStead or waters subject to the jur-
isdiction of his majesty for the purpose
of -coaling directly from the shore or
from golfers accompanying the fleet,
where such vessels present themselves
at the same time or successfully.

tice be pursued in reference to single
belligerent ships of war proceeding for
the purpose of belligerent operations as
above defined.
Vessels putting in on account of act
ual distress at sea will receive such
succor as usually is extended in such
cases in accordance with the recognized
uSageS of international law.

PEACE CONFERENCE.
Roosevelt Will Be Asked to Call One
Next Year.

st. Louis, Aug. 23.-The Republic
today says:
One of the proposals that will be
made by the American group before
the ter-parliamenSary conference
which will be held in the hall of con-
crosses at the Worlds fair next month
is that the president of the United
States be authorized to call a general
peace conference some time next year.
1t is not the intention of the Ameri-
can group to have this conference
along the lines of The Hague. They
wish to establish a system of arbi-
tration among the countries of the
world which will bring about a re-
duction of the ornaments of the
powers.
Another proposition that will be
made at the conference in ST. Louis
is that during times of war private
property on the high seas which is
not contraband, be declared exempt
from seizure.

TERRIBLE FIGHTING.
Progress of the Siege of Port Arthur
Described

Lao Yang, Aug. 23.-The following
is supplied by Russian correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
With each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder increases both at
the persistence of the japanese at
tack and the heroic stubbornness of
the defenders of the fortress. The
japanese are literally throwing away
thousands of lives in the hope of
shaking the courage of the Russian
troops.
Major General Fock says he is
confident the fortress cannot be
taken, but that if it is taken the whole
Japanese army will have to immediate
itself on the slopes of the fortifica-
tion.
There were five desperate assaults
on Green hills July &c, the Japanese
returning each time with apparently
inexhaustible reinforcements. On the
final assault, however, the japanese
broke badly, throwing away their
boots to facilitate their flight and
leaving seven thousand dead or
wounded Our surgeons worked he
roically, impartially aiding japanese
touched that they tearfully thanked
the Russian surgeons.
The assault on Green Hills was re-
peated on July q, and there were fire.
quent hand to hand encounters, the
Russians leaving the trenches to follow
their enemies.
The assaults of. July % and July %
on the Wolf Hills were not followed up,
the japanese being too severely shaken.
We evacuated the Wolf hills chiefly for
strategic reasons as the hills made the
line of defense too long to effectually
Withstand the furious attacks of the
Japanese.
THE assault of July 80 was made in
the dark of night in the hope of sur
prising the Russians. Sixty thousand
men were hurled against our 200, but

at the point of the bayonet. 1t was an
other Shipka Pass.
THE Japanese poured in fresh bat
talions. and the slopes covered with the
blood.
Our Thirteenth regiment was forced
from its position, but the Fourteenth
regiment came up and with the bayonet
again dislodged the victors.
'As near as can be ascertained this
assault cost the japanese 10000. The
japanese losses since the siege began
have been $4,000 men. The explosion of
one mine wiped out 5000. This was an
awful sight. A volcano of stones dis
membered the bodies of the soldiers
while the sky was lit up with a purple
glare and the mud walls of the Chinese
village was thrown down by the shock
After this fight General StoesseI col
lected 10000 Japanese rifles. The Jap
anese installed twenty siege guns on
the Wolf Hills August s. Four of these
are II inch guns. They have not yet
reached our shore batteries which are
still out of range, but they have dam
aged the dry dock and the railway sta
ton.
The Japanese are mapping the town
by sections for the purpose of bonn
bardment and they are assisted in this
task by a Chinese engineer who recent
ly deserted to them.
THE Japanese fire an average of 500
shells daily and they keep up their fire
both day and night
