A RUSSIAN VICTORY.
The Reported Killing of a Thousand
 Japanese.

Santoupou, March 15.-Noon-A sanguinary combat occurred on March 14th on the center of the advanced line of the Russian army eight miles south of Tie Pass. The Russians repulsed vance through a thousand corpses of Japanese, advancing a large force on the right flank, where General Mistch- enko, who has taken command of his detachment though his wound has not yet healed is holding the Japanese in check.

 According to Chinese reports the governor of Mukden gave banquet in honor of the Japanese generals after their triumphal entry into the city and Russian journalist wires that with the occupation of Mukden by the Jap anese, Russia's prestige with the Chi nese has been utterly destroyed. The correspondent says it is always notice able, and that a triumphant victory would not restore Russia in the es- timation of the Chinese which she held a year ago.

A WAY TO BEAT ADAMS
It Would Require the Temporary Seating of Peabody.

Denver, March 15.-The Peabody Adams gubernatorial contest will come to an end when the anti-Peabody re- publicans decide to bring the matter to vote in the joint assembly and this would be done at once were it not for the fact that five of the twenty two republicans known as Mcdonald men are unknown quantities and may at any moment stampede to Peabody and give him a majority.
 It is conceded on all sides that sev- enteen of the twenty-two are unaI- terably in favor Of retaining Governor Adams in the chair and will never vote for seating Peabody. They may eventually in order to wind up the con test, vote to seat Peabody temporarily, depending upon him to resign and all low Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald to succeed to the governOrship by thus creating a vacancy.

OVFRBORNE BY DISGRACE
Army Officer Tempts His Guards to
 Kill Him.

Vancouver Barracks, Wis, March 15. -Smarting under the sting of his dis grace and suffering from an incurable disease, former Lieutenant Francis M. Boone, who was ordered discharged from the United States army on charges of desertion, absence without leave non-payment of debts and con- duct unbecoming to an officer, today made a dash from his guard with de- Iiberate suicidal intent, it is reported, and before he was recaptured, he was shot and probably fatally injured.
 Boone was being conducted from the guard house to the garrison hospital, when without warning. he broke away and started to run. He was ordered to halt, but paid no attention to the com mand and the guards opened fire. One bullet out of five that were fired at the prisoner, took effect in the head above the right ear and passed under the scalp to a point above the right eye. Another broke his collar bone.

WITH CHASTENED SPIRIT
Spectators Moved Cautiously Among
 Stocks.

New York, March 15.-There was a remnant of the speculative spirit in the stock market today, but somewhat chastened, and made itself manifest in d conservative way. The movement was hesitating and irregular. The fiuc- tuations for the greater part of the day, however, were above last nights level and 1t was not until the latter part of the session that any consider able inroads were made in prices. Dis patches from Chicago detailing the enormous outlay contemplated by the railroads for equipment for 1905, caus- ed a squirt in various car and locOmo- tive company stocks.
 There were published compilations of an extensive traffic to originate in southern territory on account of activ- ity in the southern iron trade and the large cotton crop to be moved, which led straightway to the marking up of stocks of the southern group of rail- ways. Less was heard of recent ru- mors regarding the Vanderbilts and Pacifics, but they also held their pe- riods of strength. Foreigners were in clined to sell Americans again, the movement doubtless originating in France and Germany, as a protective measure against Russian holdings.

THE ORANGE RATE CASE
Railroads Disregard Figures of Inter-
 state Commerce Commission.

San Francisco March 15.-The law departments of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe reached an agree ment yesterday respecting the orange rate case The railroads have decided to ignore the recent decision of the in terstate commerce commission, where in the commission has decided that the rate of SIPS on oranges from Califor- mia to all eastern points was unreasOn-
 In other words, the railroads purpose to require the payment of the existing rate unless the orange shippers can find relief through the courts which means that the orange shippers will not obtain any of the fruits of their big victory before the interstate commerce commission for a year or two.

Washington, March 15.-It is the in tention of the senate interstate com merce committee to take up the con stitutional questions regarding the right of congress to delegate power to fix rates and the effect of equalizations and differentials practiced by railroads under the present conditions.
 It is expected that attention will be attracted largely to the Esch-TOwn- send bill which passed the house at the last session as well as to some other measures which have been introduced in the senate. It is also the intention of the committee to conduct the hear ings with ali possible expedition.

TREATY FAILED

TOO MANY DEMOCRATS
It Is the Opinion of Some Republican Leaders That the Treaty With San Domingo Should Be Withdrawn. It's Not Yet Settled.

Washington. March 15.-The repub- lican leaders in the senate are all a1 sea respecting the action advisable in regard to the Santo Domingo treaty. recognizing that the democrats control more than one-third of the votes and that two-thirds are required to ratify the convention. The sentiment of the republican leaders is that the treaty should be withdrawn by the president, On this subject the se Iate and presi- dent do not agree ana the idea pre- Vails that after one or two more days of inconsequential discussion the spc- cial session of the senate will be al- lowed to adjourn without a date and the treaty lapse. But this plan is not popular in the senate and a way Go avoid it is being sought.
 One alternative which in the discus sion concerning it was termed merely l an excuse for inaction. is that Senator ! Cullom, as chairman of the cOmmitte. on foreign affairs, should offer q rcyo- 1 lution directing the president to aP- point a committee to make an investI- gation of Santo DominEo's debts This plan was agreed to tentatively as the | program most desirable under the cS- isting conditions. as il is believed that such a resolution could be adopted without debate. No decision was ! reached which may not be changed to- morrow and other plans have bee suggested or are brewing.

Meager reports have been received from a Russian source of a fight eight miles south of Tie Pass between a Russian force under General Mistchen- ko and Japanese column, the identity of which is unknown. The latter was repulsed, it is said, with a loss of 1000 killed. A rumor that after the evacu- alton of Mukden eighty foreigners, in cluding an American newspaper cor respondent. had been murdered by Chi nese. is discredited by the fact that the correspondent in question reported to his paper on March 14th that he had been captured by the Japanese and was being taken to Kobe.

non. JOHN BOIFEULLET.

Mr.. Clark Howell has been extreme
ly fortunate in securing Hon. John T..
Boifeuillet. editor of the Macon Even
ming News and for many years clerk
of the Georgia house of representa-
tives, as manager of his campaign
for governor. Genial and golden
hearted John Boifeuillet numbers his
friends by the score in each of the AS
counties of Georgia, which, together
with his thorough knowledge of public
affairs and political conditions in
Georgia, makes him an invaluable
man for the work he has undertaken.
Mr.. Boifeuillet has already opened
Howell headquarters in room number
ia of the Kimball house, which is
known the state over as the Lucky
Room" from the fact that no candi-
date for Office who occupied it for
headquarters ever lost race. 1t was
the successful headquarters of the late
General John B. Gordon when he ran
for the United States senate and was
elected. The late Governor Atkinson
used the same room as his headquar-
ters; Governor Gambler had this room
as his headquarters; Governor Terrell
occupied it with signal success when
he was campaigning for the Office he
now holds, and last summer year ago
even Parker Club No. ? occupied it
and didn't break the spell.
Mr.. Boifeuillet will be constantly
on duty until the last vote is polled in
the primary next summer, and you
may just as we'll prepare for stir
ing campaign. Things political will
now proceed to happen.

have a combined capital and surplus
of 1888, 900, are established upon a
firm basis, transact large volume of
business and are doing exceedingly
we'll, all of which clearly shows the
prosperity of Dawson and the sur
rounding country.

THE PRIMARY SELECTIONS.

The nomination Thursday of Hon.
J. r. Mercer for another term as
mayor, and Messrs. A. J. Hill, T. 0.
Whitchard, A. J. Baldwin and H. A.
Petty as aldermen insures to the city
a good administration.
Mayor Mercer has already occupied
this position for three terms, and has
rendered patriotic service as the city's
chief executive.
The large vote that Mr.. Hill receiv-
ed is ample testimony to his populari-
ty and possession of public confidence.
He will make an excellent alderman.
Both Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Whitchard
have been members of the council for
several years. They have been active
officials, and the fact that they will be
continued in Office is generally graf
living. Mr.. Petty is one of the most
prominent business men of Dawson,
and is eminently qualified for the po-
sition of alderman.
Mr.. w. A. Baldwin has been city
treasurer for several years, and has
discharged the functions of that office
in a highly satisfactory manner. His
nomination without opposition speaks
we'll for the esteem in which he is held
personally and officially.

together with the cost of production
and the profits to be derived there
from. It contains much valuable in
formation for those who are engaged
in cane growing, and every reader OF

copy from the local agent of the road
or by sending his address to w. A.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The municipal ownership movement
is undoubtedly growing in strength
and Importance. The victory OF May
or Dunno in Chicago and the remark
able race of Mr.. Hearst in New YORK
il nroof enough of this statement.
We do not believe that municipal,
state or national control OF public
utilities is, generally speaking, either
a-1afe or feasible plan. 1t is neither
democratic nor in line with the Ameri-
can theory of individual achievement
We do not believe, further, that ma
ioritv of the American people, when
thew give the question their sober
Judgment land it will be thoroughly
threshed OUT will ever consent to the
adoption of this policy.
How, then, can we reconcile to this
declaration the seeming tremendous
growth in favor of this principle. 1t
is undoubtedly the outcome of the in
tense feeling against the tremendous
corporations of greed and gain. The
people have thus far exhausted every
effort to check these corporations. All
attempts to secure national curbing
and restrictions have failed. The
public ownership proposition is en-
braced as possible weapon OF effect
iveness, and while its triumph will
never be generally realized it will,
possibly, accomplish more in the
working out of a middle ground for
profit than all the combined
efforts of memorials, petitions and
protests.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-11-22

No matter who is the next governor
of Georgia he will have to do wonders
to make better one than the present
occupant of that Office. Governor
Terrell's administration has been con-
sentative and clean, and the tax bur-
den is lighter than it has been in many
years before.
