SOUTH FORCES STILL ONWARD.

Noting the South's condition and the
reasons for it's optimism the New York
Sun says: ''The cotton crop in the
last five years has exceeded in value
the FIVE preceding years by billion
dollars, and the cotton of the South IS
now bringing about 1850. 00O. 900 a
wear. Even IN 1890 the total value OF
all Southern agricul ural products was
only S773, 900, 900; this year it viii ex-
coed 81, 700, OOO,OO In the meanwhile
the population has increased about
80 per cent. The South is no longer
dependent on the West for lis corn,
but is raising lis own supply, with the
consequence that the enormous sums
which it obtains from its cotton Will
hereafter remain IN the South. Ihat
is. the South is now rich and it will
grow steadily richer. 1t needs no
compassion, and it is too strong, zoo
self-contained to need to put itself in
any attitude of political opposition as
measure of self defense. The time
has come for its emancipation from
subsection to any particular party and
for i. to assert ltselfa conservative
force in American pc tiles The day
for any possible justification of the
solid South has passed, and its unre-
! stricted ability and temperate counsels
are needed IN the settlement of the
great national, political and economic
questions which are before u.s."

A Revolutionary Puzzle.

The following is taken from col
lection of odd rhymes and curious
stories. 1t can be read in three diff
ferent ways. First, read the whole
as it is written; second, read down
ward on the left Of the comma in
the middle of each line; third, read
the lines downward on the right of
the comma. By the first reading
the Revolutionary cause is condemn
ed. BY the other two it is praised:
Hark, bark, the trumpet sounds. the din
of wars alarms,
Ger seas and solid grounds, doth call US
all to arms,
Who for King George doth stand, their
honors soon shall shine.
Their ruin is at hand, who with the con-
gress join.
The acts of parliament, in them I much
delight.
hate their cursed intent, who for the
congress fight.
The Tories of the day, they are my daily
toast,
They soon will sneak away, who indi-
pendence boast.
Who nonresistant hold, they have my
heart and hand;
May they for slaves be Sold who act a
Whiggish part.
On Mansfield. North and Butte, may daily
blessing pour,
Confusion and dispute, on congress ever
more.
To North and British lord, may honorE
still be done;
I wish block and cord, to General Wash
| ington.

Etching EqasheIIs.

Melt some tallow and with it
paint on the shell Of an egg, making
letters, numbers, profles or any out
line which your fancy may suggest,
then immerse the egg in strong vim
egar.
After the lapse of a few hours
whatever is covered with the lines
of tallow will project slightly, the
vinegar's acetic acid having dissolv-
ed away the unprotected surface.
By painting with fine brush an
intricate scroll or vine pattern, car
rying it all around the egg, the re-
suit is very pretty, giving the effect
Of carved ivory.

HARMONY IN KENTUCKY.
Bradley and Yerkes Bury Their Diff
 ferences.

Louisville. Ky. May s.-The threatened contest between former Governor W. O.. Bradley and the Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue. John W. Yerkes, for the control of the Republican State Conven- ton and the State Central Committee failed to materialize at the convention cday. In two speeches which won him ovatfons. MT. Bradley declared for har- mcny. He moved that the rules be sus- pended before the report of the commit tee on credentials should Do announced and that MT. Yerkes, the temporary chairman. be made permanent chairman. The motion was carried unanimously af- ter 1t had been held, up for some time by former Congressman John D. White, who was finally howled down.
 Mir. Yerlees. during the evening, moved that the rules be suspended and Mir. Bradley unanimously chosen as one of the fcur delegates at large to the National Convention. The motion carried.
 Richard P. Ernst of Covington and George W. Long of Litchfield were nomi- hated by exclamation to serve with MT. Bradley leaving one more delegate at large to be selected. The practice of previous State conventions having been to name negro delegate at large the remaining position on the delegation was contested for by several of that race. Dr. D. E. Underwood of Frankfort was nominated.

 Washington, May 3.-Both of the de- fendants were in court today when the irnpanelling of a jury proceeded for the trial of James N. Tyner and Harrison J. Barrett. on indictments charging con spiracy to defraud the government.
 General Tyner. as on yesterday. vas placed in a large reclining chair and surrounded with furs to protect him from the draughts of the room. Mrs. Tyner sat by his side attentive to his slightest movement. She whispered counsel and explained to her husband all matters con corning the selection of the jury which escaped his failing hearing. Less than hah an hour was required to complete the jury.
 Morgan H. Beach, United States dis trict attorney. outlined the governments case in an elaborate review of the indict- ments and the incidents thereto.
 Mir. Worthington made an impressive statement for the defense, referred feel irgiy to the feeble condition of General Tvner and to the fact that he is now 70 years of age. He declared. however. that his client does not desire consideration based on pity. As he discussed the charges Mir. worthington frequently re-

CANAL DEAL CLOSED.
Pierpcnt Morgan Leaves Paris For
 Aix-Les-B -Baineg.

Aix-Les-Baines.
 Paris, May 3.--Having wound up the details of the big financial transaction connected with the Panama transfer, J. Pierpont Morgan left Paris today for Aix-Les-Baines. Before his departure he gave the correspondent of the Associated Press the main points of the final agree ment as follows:
 The Panama Canal Company wished to have the money turned over in Paris in- stead of in the United States and was willing to pay all the expenses incident to the payment here. In order to accom- plish this the United States has appoint ed the Morgan Company in turn to make a contract with the Panama Company whereby the S4O.000.O00 will be in Paris. The contract specifics the Banque de France as depository and also the propor- tlon of the payments going to the old and to the new Panama companies re- spectively,
 The signing of this contract closes the transaction, 1t only remaining for the Morgan Company to carry it out by mak- ing payments from time to time to the Banque de France. This will be done so as to cause no disarrangement of the Americ1sl or French money markets. The report that a syndicate of Paris bankers is interested is incorrect. The appointment of the Morgan Company as fiscal agents places the whole transac- tion in their hands. They will associate with Lazard Freres and other houses of a similar character in New York and here, but so far as the United States is concerned it entrusts the financing oper- ations to the Morgans. The other details correspond with those foreshadowed in these dispatches April 29.

Jauanese Burvinr Dead.

Seoul. May .3-Later reports of the Rus sian reverse on the Yalu are to the effect that the Japanese captured twenty eight small rapid fire guns besides twenty field guns. They also captured thirty Russian officers and over 800 men. many of whom were found hiding in the underbrush by Japanese searching parties. Cassock of- ficers who were captured place the num- Der of Russians killed and wounded at 800, but it is thought that this under states the Russian loss which Is believed to be very much greater. The Japanese army is resting. burying it's dead and caring for its wounded. The Japanese thoroughly occupy the area over which the fighting extended and are now SCOUT ing the hilly country to which the Rns- sian forces retired.

REPORT FROM KURoKI.
Praises Russians for Stubborness of
 Their Defense,


 Tokio. May 3.-A supplementary re- port was received here today from Kuroki. It was dated today and Is as follows:
 Yesterday the enemy offered a stub born resistance against our pursuit. adding about 300 to our casualties The enemy stood with resolution until their artillery, consisting of two batteries, lost the majority of its men and horses. They then broke the brooches and, closing apparatus of their guns and hoisted the white flag.
 According to a captured Russian of- 1cer. General Kashtalinsky, commander of the 3rd East Siberian brigade; the colonel of the 11th and 12th rife regi- ments. and the commander of the rifle artillery battalion were killed in the fighting at Hamatan.
 Tt seems that the enemy was en- tirely routed by our attack, because since yesterday, many have come in and surrendered.
 Our prisoners included thirty of- ficers, twenty of whom are wounded, and 300 men. 100 of whom are wound ed.
 "A preliminary report from the chief surgeon of the 1st Japanese army shows that we had 79S men killed and wounded. The casualties are divided as follows: The Imperial Guards, l32; End division, $50; 3rd division. SIG"
