TWO NEGROES MUST HANG.
Supreme Court Refused to Declare the
Indictments Invalid.

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-Dave Switzerland
and Courtney Baker, of Floyd county,
will be hanged for murder within the
next few days, unless they can con.
vince the prison commission and the
governor that they are fit subjects for
executive clemency.
Both were convicted Of murder in
Floyd county and sentenced to be
banged, The supreme court affirmed
these sentences. The gallows had al
most been erected for the two men
when it was discovered that the in.
dictments did not state that the per.
sons killed were human beings"
The attorneys held that therein the
indictments were defective. The su.
perior court overruled this contention
and the supreme court took the same
ground.

Paris, Jan. 27.-The Rouvier min.

the Elysee palace today under the
presidency of President Loubet.
Premier Rouvier submitted his dec.
laration of policy which was approved.
Later the premier presented the dec
laration to parliament. 1t follows the
policy of the late Premier Combes,
the main features being an income
tax, the separation of church and state
workingmen's pensions and reduc.
ton of the term of military service.
The declaration severely condemns
the system of secret reports of the
lives of officers of the army and navy,
which brought the downfall of the
Combes cabinet.

The political side of the movement is
again sinking beneath the surface.
When and in what form it will again
break out only the future can deter
mine. The authorities everywhere
seemingly are attempting to treat the
workmen whose aspirations are purely
economic without harshness, and are
appealing to their patriotism, by point
out the benefit which will accrue to
the Japanese by a suspension of work
at the arsenals, dock yards, etc. On
the other hand the authorities are put
ting down the revolutionists with
stern hand The latter have again
been forced to cover, meetings being
almost impossible. Many foreign cor
respondents are flocking to find that
the acute stage is past and some of
them have been driven to repeating
the horrible stories of Sunday, while
others are indulging in the widest in
ventions particularly about the in
trigues and terrors prevailing at court
The latest sensational report is that
the emperor and the imperial family
have fled to Livadia.
Only two Russian newspapers out of

Their accounts of Sundays happen

ton to indicate the feeling of popu-
lar indignation.
The morgue still contains many un-
identified dead.
The hands of somec& the the victims
are white and on their fingers are dia-
mond rings, the supposition being that
they were liberals of gentle birth in

took part in the demonstration.
