 Brewton, Sept S0.--(Special.)- )-A tnaRedy occurred about four miles west of Brewton yesterday afternoon. in which J. F Steele lost his life and J. w Jernigan sustained serious cuts in his left arm and hand. Jernigan was Steele's stepson. and from the best in formation obtainable it seems that bad blood had existed between them for some time. It appears that yesterday afternoon Steele went to Jernigan's field where he was at work and waited for him to reach the end of a row when knife striking at him. Jernigan re- Steele struck at him the second time he caught the blade of the knife in his hand receiving a bad cut and severing an artery. Jernigan then knocked Steele down and at the same time drew his knife. cutting Steele in the neck one or more times. the wounds produc- ing death Tn a short time.
 Jernigan came to town for medical attention and reported the tragedy, say ing that he did not know at that time how badly Steele was hurt, as he left him lying in the field.
 Both parties are natives of Escam- bia County and are widely connected, and the occurrence is deeply deplored by all.

CANNOT INTERFERE
President Asked to Protest
Russian Massacres.
NO ACTION BY GOVERNMENT NOW.
Roosevelt Expressed Great Sympathy
to Former Minister Strauss For
Russian Sufferers by Violence.
Witte, Too, Is Powerless.

WASHINGTON, Nov. T. Oscar
Straus. former minister to Turkey, paid
visit to the president to discuss with
him the Jewish massacres in Russia.
The president indicated to him that,
while he regretted these horrors, the
United States government could take
no action in the matter.
Secretary Root had conference with
the president shortly after Mr.. Straus
called. This statement was subse-
quently given out:
oscar Straus called upon the presi-
dent not to ask him for action, but
to consult with him as to whether there
was any possibility of action which
would result in mitigation of the hor-
rors connected with the massacre of
the Jews in Russia.
'The president stated that, of course
he had been watching with the deepest
concern the reports of those massa-
ores; that he had been appealed to
within the last few weeks to try TO
take some action, not only on behalf of
the Jews in Russia, but ON behalf of
the Armenians, Poles and Firms.
1.-THE result of the presidents in
quiries conceded with statements con
tanned in cable from NJ White to ia
cob II. Schiff, shown the president by
Mr.. Straus, as follows:
1.-the government is Mortified at
these outrages You know that | less
than any one do not sympathize With
such savage outbreaks All can do
to stop the disorders is done, but as
the country is in such an excited state
the local authorities are often power
less
I'm the conditions Of social disorder
which actually exist in Russia the
president does not see that any action
can be taken 10y this government at
present which viii be of any benefit
to the unfortunate sufferers, for whom
he feels such keen sympathy"
A st. Petersburg dispatch says an
Official declaration by the government
says that the origin of the disturbances
in the empire is found in the imbitter-
ment between various sections of the
population, caused by the cars mani
festo.
The only means of combating these
disorders lies in all classes becoming
permeated with the conviction that the
reforms promised by the government
Will be inflexibly carried through. No
efforts, it is added, by the enemies of
reform can prevent this from being ac-
complished.
The government desires in carrying
out these reforms the support Of the
peaceably inclined, TO whom the flu
ture development of Russia ON basis
of liberty and the integrity of the
country is dear The government par
ticularly asks for and depends upon
the support of the press.
st. Petersburg advices say that on
the heels of the successful issue of the
Finnish national movement comes the
news of a strong revival of the struggle
for autonomy in Poland Dispatches
