TWELVE HUNDRED SUITS FILED
Railroads Sued for Violation of the
Cattle Shipping Law.

San Francisco, August 12.-Twelve
hundred suits involving a penalty of
from $500 to $500 in each case, or a
total maximum of fines of $500, 900,
are to be brought against the South
ern Pacific, Saota Fe, Union Pacific
and other western roads for violations
of the so-called 28-hour hour law pro.
viding for the humane shipment of cat
tie. This is at the instance of the
secretary of agriculture that this liti
cation has been taken UP by the at
torney general and suits Will soon be
commenced by the various United
States district attorneys.
The law under which THIS wholesale
suing is to be done has been on the
statute books since 1873, but the rail
roads have never given it much
thought and still less observance. II
requires railroad companies transport
ing cattle from one state to another tc
unload the animals after they have
been in the cars for 28 hours feed
and water them and give them a resi-
for at least five hours.

Two Nations WiCa Apart.

St Petersburg, August 12.-Dispatch-
es from Portsmouth make it clear that
unless there is very substantial
abatement of the demands of the Jap
anese plenipotentiaries, which is un-
likely, the peace conference will come
to a sudden conclusion. The two
nations are so wide apart that all hope
of agreement has ben practically aban-
doned here. 1t is probable that the
next session will end in final adjourn
ment and that NJ. Witte will sail for
Europe very shortly.

Recent Death at Peoria, ILL.,, Reveals
Strange State of Affairs.
Peoria, H., August 12.-It has been
years since Peoria has suffered such
shock as that produced by the deveL
Opment over the death of Edward
Drouin, which occurred yesterday.
Mrs. Drouin is incarcerated in the
county jail, violently agitated and is
seemingly deranged. The interior OF
their Fisher street home is filled with
furniture of the strangest character,
and the walls are covered with fac
simile reproductions of the "coat-of-
arms" adopted by Drouin and his wife.
For some time he had posed as
king of the world" and his wife as
empress of the universe" With en-
ergy almost inconceivabla Mrs. Drouin
spent hours of each day writing let
ters in prominent people in this city,
warning them of attempts upon their
lives and asserting that band OF peo-
pie were threatening the determination
of the populace by turning on the

All efforts to investigate were frus
trated by the vigilance of the wife
When searched, their apartments were
found to contain vast quantities OF

SIX NEW COUNTIES NAMED.
After Hard Fight In House Commit
tees Report Adopted.

Atlanta, August 12,-Six of the pro-
posed new counties as reported by the
house committee-Taft, Crisp, Grady,
Turner, Jenkins and JEFF Davls-were
put through Friday by the house In
one, two, three order, and that SINH
lar action awaits the two remaining
Stephens and Toombs-there can be
no doubt
From the start it was apparent tha.
the majority of the members of the
house had determined to support the
committee report throughout. They felt
that the committee had worked hard
and diligently upon the matter, had
gone into every phase of it, and had
made as careful and as fair a report
as it was possible for them to make.
Under these circumstances the house
voted down practically every amend
ment offered which did not meet the
approval of the new county committee,
and passed the bills as repldly as they
could be reached
