A FRATERNAL WORD FROM E. H.
 BEARDSLEY.

The writer desires to extend his sin cere sympathy to the F. & A. M., Hi ram lodge, No. IS, of Sandy Hook, in the loss of their lodge room by fire, last week. He will always remember most pleasant evening passed there in the spring of 1902, and the beautiful degree work done there at that time, with the banquet, toasts and speeches which followed, as well as the invita- tion and entertainment the editor of THE BEE extended to him. He little thought then it would prove his last visit to that lodge room, but hopes from it's ashes another may be reared to be perpetuated for longer than this has been. Sometimes fire brings wonderful changes and improvements and while the furnishings and cOnven- fences of this past room may not be eX- celled, another can be reared and dedi
 cated3which will not be connected with so many kinds of other business under the same roof. We shall always most kindly remember Old Hiram No. IS.

HUNDRED MEN HELP
 TO LYNCH NEGRO
PRISONER IS TAKEN FROM JAIL AT NEWBERN, N. C., BY MOB AND HANGED TO DRAW OF BRIDGE.

Newborn, N C., August N.-John Moore, a negro 20 years of age, was taken from ven county jail in this city early to- das and lynched by a mob of one hun dred masked men, armed with revolvers and rifles.
 With his hands tied behind him, the negro was led out about third of a mile from the jail to the draw of Mouse liver bridge, hanged to one of its braces al his body riddled with bullets. The mob attacked the jail between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. Entrance to the jail was affected by forcing the jailer to surrender the keys. As soon as the att tack was discovered the naval reserves were called out to attempt to prevent the lynchng. Crowds rushed to the bridge. Sheriff J. W. Riddle was quickly on the scene pleading that Moore be left to the law but his efforts were unavailing and the mob carried out it's plans.
 Moore entered the country store of George Eubanks at Clarks, seven miles from Newborn, last Friday when the proprietor's wife was the only one in the store. The negro attempted robbery and struck Mrs. Eubanks on the head with n meat axe, fracturing bones and infiicting injuries which if they do not prove fatal will at least cause not only disfgllrernent but life long suffering. Mrs. Eubanlss screamed and people came to her rescue

 to Ten Days Late.
THEATRE OF WAR CHANGED

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, August I.- Intelligence of the constitutional grants by the government has been received by the army and general information relat- ing to Portsmouth affairs continues to reach here from three to ten days late.
 Since the Japanese reconnoitered the Russian center about twenty-five or thir- ty miles on August 10, which resulted in retaliatory skirmishes, as well as the checkmating of a wide movement of con siderable bodies of troops throughout three days, nothing important has occur red. During the long quiet there have been endorsements by both sides. giv- ing the theatre of war a much changed appearance. The front has been greatly extended made possible by the use of wireless telegraph, and because of the unexampled size of the armies, the char acter of the third stage of the war, whether it be active hostilities, demobl- lization or the garrisoning of contested territory, will be complicated.
 The relative positions of the two great armies Is comparable to that of year ago. and the country immediately fac ing the Japanese Is almost identical with that which confronted them at Liao Yang. The acquisition of the railway and rivers by the Japanese at Mukden, to- gether with their Feng Cheng communi- cations and General Kawamuras new line of communication and defense, run ming fran the head of navigation on the Yalu river across to Kia Yuan with the occupation of the Chang Paishan moun- tain region, makes control of the admin istration of South Manchuria as com plete as that achieved in the north by similar organization, and in the rapid construction of these connections the destiny of Manchuria Is clearly fixed, regardless of other influences.
 The Associated Press correspondent re- gently traversed 200 miles over the old imperial hunting preserves on the east flank, which was opened to settlement several years ago. Heavy crops of oil beans, millet maize, Indigo and hemp are under cultivation there now. This comprises a region extensively secuted by the Japanese who appear bold and ac- tive pending the negotiations. The peo- pie complain of horse thieves and rob- bers. There is general appreciation of the demonstrations in the United States for M. Witte.
 After an enormous rainfall during the past ten days, it is believed the rainy season is closed

CHAIRMAN OF PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION SAYS THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF LABOR FOR THE WORK IN PANAMA.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., August 27.-Theodoro r. Shonts. chairman of the isthmian canal commission, was a dinner guest of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt tonight.
 Chairman Shonts said in response to ir,- qllries about the resignation of Super indent Prescott of the Panama railroad that MT. Prescott had resigned presum- ably because of strictures made on his conduct of the road. He said Mir. Pres colt had been succeeded by MT. Baird of the Rock Island system, who was now en route to Panama to assume his new cuties.
 T have laid off all steam shovels," said MT. Shonts, until the railroad tracks have been put into proper condition for their use. I found when l was on the isthmus at least five steam shoyels out of which the operators were not getting 10 exceed 25 per cent of the efficiency. That condition could not be allowed to 20 on. so we have ordered all steam shovel work discontinued for the present.
 We shall have no difficulty in getting all the labor we want The superinten- dent who has charge of that branch of the work has worked 75,O00 men on a single contract, and he says he could get 100000 blacks for work on the canal if so many were needed The principal idea at present is to provide quarters for the employees, to establish good sanitary conditions. and to arrange for the prompt payment of the men. Once these prelImi- naries are arranged we will begin to make the dirt fly"

Beach Has Police and Oetec-
 lives on the Trail
DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS HOT
Morgan H. Beach is Angry and Does Not Believe Holmes Will Ap- pear in Court Today to
 Give Bail.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, August 27.-(Special Jun willing to trust the statement of the law yers of Edwin s. Holmes, Jr., recently associate statistician of the department of agriculture, that they will bring him into court on Monday morning and give bail for his future appearance in answer to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government. United States Attorney Morgan H. Beach of the District of Co., lu1nbia has warrant out for the arrest of Holmes and all day today the whole police force of Washington, a number of local detectives, two secret service men from the treasury department and three deputy marshals have been trying to find Holmes. So far they have not sue ceeded.
 Holmes lawyers still declare they will produce him tomorrow, but MT. Beach would rather arrest him than have him come voluntarily into his office. The at torneys for the former statistician said some time ago they would have Holmes | here yesterday but he had not appeared at the city hall at noon. This made MT. Beach angry.
 Wharton Lester, one of Holmes attor- neys, said 1t had been agreed that Holmes should surrender on Monday, but today
 MT Beach said no such agreement had
 been reached and that if he, his deputies,
 the detectives or any of the eight hun dred Washington policemen saw Holmes first, he would be arrested
 MT. Beach Is nervous, irritable little
 man and so is Holmes. Between these two the husky policemen of Washington
 have had a hard time of it today. They have been watching every train that went
 out of Washington. armed with descrip-
 tion of Holmes furnished them by the
 chief of police, but their observations
 have been unrewarded Many think, how
 ever, that Holmes did get out of town 1 late last night and is spending a quiet Sunday out of the Jurisdiction of the | Washington authorities. He Is expected to show up safely tomorrow, as promised l by his attorneys. He probably simply wants to avoid arrest He and his attor- neys declare him to be innocent of wrong
 doing and say he will clear himself In
 time.
 MT. Beach, however, is believed to have a strong case against Holmes and Peck
 ham and Van Riper, the New York brokers. He has kept very quiet and
 not even Secretary Wilson knows what
 he is going to do. His assistants are l likely in the dark
 trict attorney at the request of the President. but 1t is almost certain that he will be retained by the government as 1 special counsel in the cotton leak cases. l With Secretary Cheatham he knows moe l about the case than anybody else
