In Simple Justice.

| Readers of this paper who follow
local happenings will remember that
some time since Rev. S. j. Mcleod
of Waycross, Ga, was arrested while
in Palatlla at the instance of negro
woman Some grave charges were
made against Mr.. Mcleod at the
time, hints of which appeared in this
paper. Nothing, however ever came
OF the charges and Mr.. McLeo was
never prosecuted. Another case
against him did go to the grand jury,
but that body declined to find a true
bill.
Since then the News has made
some investigation. Mr.. Mcleod is
an elderly man whom reputation or
honor, so far as we know, has never
been questioned. Ou the other hand
the negro woman has had a shady
career. Her charges are not capable
of substantiation And no one in
this country would take her unsup-
ported word alongside that of Mr..
Mcleod, who has had an honorable
career as Christian minister. The
News regrets that it assisted in the
matter to the extent of publishing
these unsupported charges, particu-
larry as they may have cast ridicule
upon worthy man. Mr. Mcleod
claims that an effort was made to
blackmail him and there is every
reason to believe such to have been
the case,

PRlVY COUNCIL
 MEETS IN TOXIC
Premier Katsura Makes an Extended Statement of the Recent Peace
 Negotiations.

Tokio September Il, s:30 D. m.-The special session of the privy council to- day occupied four hours. No bill was presented. only report from the cabinet ministers. Premier Katsura making an ex- tended statement of the peace negotia- tions.
 According to the constitution it requires to be submitted to the council before rati- fication. It is unusual to hold a special sitting for simply making a report of diplomatic affairs before a treaty assumes a form ready for ratification and the sitting today without special bill was rather unexpected.
 Opposition political parties have ap- pointed an extensive committee to fully report on sufferings alleged to have been caused by the police. Local branches con tinue to press resolutions against the government. The Shibah branch condemns the governments assumption of the power to suspend newspapers, declaring it to be wholly unconstitutional Quiet, how ever prevails in Tokio.

PULLMAN SCHOOLS OPEN.
Two Candidates Are Out for Office of
 the Late Senator Hipp.

'Cullman, September u.-(Special)-T city public schools opened this morning with a much increased attendance. Though the school Is under new principal ship and a slight change of the teachers, 1t Is fully expected that the term will be successful in every respect.
 The date for the election of a suc- cessor to the late lamented Senator R.. L. Hipp has not as yet been fixed, but the battle Is on in earnest and two Gull man lawyers, in the person of A. A. Grif- filth and F. E. St. John, are on the firing line" with fixed bayonets, and belt full of ammunition.
 Winston and Blount, the other counties forming the district, have made no flank movements yet. In all probability there will be another aspirant from this county, or at least that's the latest bulletin at political headquarters at present.
 In a suit. c. J. Imbusch vs. the Westero Unkon Telegraph company, filed about year ago, a compromise was effected this morning, the company paying the full amount of damages claimed, which was s13O The case grew out of a message be- ing filed for transmission at certain hour and a failure on the part of the com- pany's agent to send 1t.

ukase voluntarily and without exacting return favor Consequently American cast and wrought metal work tools, ma chinery, portable engines, locomotives and many other important staple exports which were being fairly driven out Of the Russian market by the competition of German and English machinery, fla vored by the minimum tarin rates, are now expected to have an enormous sale not only In Russia proper, but in Siberia which will develop rapidly from an aSri- cultural point of view, as a result of the cessation of hostilities,
 1t is understood Secretary Shaw will recommend to the next Congress legisla- ton calculated to remove some of the severe features of the existing tariff laws providing for the imposition of a coun- tervailing duty on bounty-aided sugar, the application of which by Secretary Gage in 1901 caused the retaliatory ac- ton by Russia, embodied in the ulxase directed against American machinery.
 It is learned that Switzerland, too, which has imposed maximum rates on American products, Is about to voluntarily exmnguish them, and allow American ex- porters the benefits of the minimum tariff rates.

NO ORDERS GIVEN
 TO RUSSIAN FLEET
Interned Vessels Will Go Home Under Their Own Steam When Com
 mand Is Given.

St. Petersburg, September 11.-No orders have been issued to the Russian fleet in accordance with the peace treaty. The admiralty can do nothing until notified of the telegraphic exchange of ratifiea- tions.
 When that occurs the vessels in condi- ton to hoist the homeward bound pen nant will start for the Baltic or yladi- vostok under their own steam and with their own crews as the period of intern ment has been used to repair all the damages sustained in the battle of Au- gust 10, and the battle of the Sea of Japan. It is absolutely incorrect to say that any steps have been taken towards the execution of the new naval pro- gramme except the orders given for the construction of torpedo boats and for d 15,000 ton cruiser in England as already announced. The next big vessel will probably be another 15OO0 ton cruiser of the same type to be built on the Baltic.

Rush Orders for Fever Preventive.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature Of the fight against the fever is the aston ishing results obtained by the use of Pluto water which comes from the French Licks Springs, French Lick, Ind.
 It now transpires that some hundreds of cases of Pluto water have been rushed here to meet the demand for the goods by the citizens not only of this city, but other leading centers in the plague threatening and affected areas. Pluto Wa ter possesses medicinal properties due probably to the fact that 1t is drawn from extreme depths of solid rock upon the highest plateau of the state of In- diana. These rocks contain mineral prop critics which carry germ destroying quality to the Pluto Water, as it Is call, ed, which acts as a preventive of fever infection, destroying the fever germ or reorganization upon entrance into the system.
 Special arrangements have been made by the French Lick Springs Company of French Lick. Ind, for taking care of rush orders from the fever stricken ter ritory. The Pluto Water is shipped in- stantly upon receipt of the order; c. o. D. orders will have immediate attention, not only from this city but from any others within the fever area.

 It was for long time expected that the desired result could be secured by the making of an agreement between the United States under section of the Ding ley act. but the Russian government fin ally concluded that 1t would rescind the
