 The Russian capital is like a city in the possession of a foreign army No animation is found in Nevsky Pros- pect along which is flooded the glare of a great searchlight fixed on the spire of the admiralty building. The curious are flocking there like moths to a candle and the sidewalks are scurry along the roadway threading their way through the infantry and cavalry patrols.
 Windows of shops Boarded Up.
 Even in the Nevsky Prospect many windows of the shops are boarded up Although electric light has been re- stored in some sections, the streets are dark, forbidding and deserted by all save the patrols.
 Occasional fires are -kindled by jani- tors in the middle of the streets, which gleam red and smoky in the deep Co., tober darkness.

 The Government and the Liberals are at a loss to know who Is the con triving brain behind the great strike The directing hand is invisible, though its workings are plainly evident. It is thought the strike may have been di- rected from Switzerland or Germany and executed here through the Social Democratic organization. in which the workmen and the students are equally active.

TO BE REPRESENTATIVE
CHATTANOOGA CONVENTION wID-
 EMS SCOPE.
Immigration and Quarantine Will Be Discussed by Delegates from All of the states of the
 South.

Chattanooga. Tenn, Oct. 2s--Already there is evidence te show that the Southern Immigration and Quarantine Conference. which Is to be held in this city November and 10, will be repre- sentative.
 The original call for the conference named who should be delegates, the call reading:
 Governors of the Southern, States. members of Congress. Commissioners of Agriculture, Mayors of cities, one representative from National, State. County or City Boards of Health; one representative from each railroad sys- tenn preferably the general immigra- ton agent; the editor. publisher or pro- prietor of newspapers and not more than i've representatives from each commercial organization in the South.
 All parties thus designated may consider themselves fully authorized under this cali to aid in furthering its object and are requested to cooperate with us in making the same what 1t should be for the South"
 Later, on suggestion of Governor Vardaman, representatives of the in- dustrial schools in the South were in- cluded, but this has been the only change made. This means that every delegate attending the conference will be a citizen of standing representing some institution of importance in the South, which is vitaily interested In the subjects that are to be considered. Already it is assured that there will be at least 500 in attendance at the con- ference.
 However, though this conference was called by ten of the Southern Govern ors and heads of Boards of Trade throughout the South, the action to be taken by the conference Is in no way fixed in advance. There will be free discussion of the two subjects to be considered. though an effort will be made to keep delegates from speaking on subjects outside the range of the conference and from indulging in per- sonal criticism. There is evidence that the delegates are by no means united on either of the two questions.
 The proposal to encourage Italian and other immigration to the South has aroused protest in some quarters, especially in representative Southern newspapers. and 1t fs very likely that the delegates will present some diver gent views along these lines before any action Is taken. The proposed Nation al quarantine has provoked even wider discussion, such men as Governor Blanchard favoring the National quar- antine. and leaders like Senator Money opposing it. There is no matter at hand for obtaining the views of the ma- Jority of delegates on these subjects and no attempt has been made to do so, but it is certain that there will be no effort to carry out any cut and dried plan of discussion and that every dele- gate will be given ample opportunity for a fair hearing.

 An impressive thanksgiving service was held at Trinity Church today be- cause of the abatement of the yellow fever epidemic. and 1t was largely att tended. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Beverly Warner, who was superintendent of the auxiliary ward work during the campaign. Governor Blanchard, Mayor Behrman, Dr. White and corps of officers in full dress, Col onel Janvier. chairman of the finance committe, and the members of that committee and a number of promi- nent citizens were present
 Dr. Warner took as his text the twelfth verse of the fourteenth chap ter of St. John: "Verily. verify I say unto you, he that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." He applied this to the successful fight which had been made against the fever and the lesson that had been learned in it's prevention. This latter was the greater thing which God had promised. Dr. Warner paid high tribute to the officer of the Marine Hospital Service and to the Mayor and citizens who had done their full duty in the emergency.
 pr. c. J. Mohr. Assistant State Health Officer of Alabama, came here today on the invitation of Dr. White. to look into the situation, and spent the after noon with him in an inspection of the ward headquarters and in visiting sev- eral cases of the fever which are still under treatment. It Is confidently be- lieved that his report will result in a modification or lifting of the Alabama quarantine.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-04-19
TURNING LOOSE THEIR COTTON
Two Thousand Bales of the Staple Have
Been Sold in Dawson the Past
Two Weeks.

Many of the cotton holders who
were resolved to get ten cents or moth
ing have changed their minds, and as
a consequence a considerable number
of bales have been turned loose. The
News learns from a prominent cotton
buyer that about 500 bales were
sold in Dawson last week, while sales
in quantities more or less large were
made in other towns of the county,
the prevailing price of u cents per
pound being paid.
About two thousand bales have been
sold in Dawson since the frstOf April,
and it is believed that it will now not
be long before practically all cotton
that was held here will be out Of the
hands of the producers.
There are now about 1900 bales in
the Dawson warehouses.
