TO PUNISH THE MOB
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
 MAY ACT.
THat August Tribunal Feels Outraged Over the LynchIng of Ed. Johnson, the RnpIst. i'm Chatta-
 mO0@a.

washington. March 20.-Some of the snerabers of the Supreme Court of the United States are considering the ad- visibility of an attempt to secure the punishment of the members of the mob which last night took from the jail at Chattanooga, Tenn, Ed Johnson, the negro rapist. whose legal execution day was stayed by an order issued by the Supreme Court yesterday.
 The Department of Justice also is considering action in the matter. The Supreme Court is not now in session, and a conference may be called at a nearby date to consider what course should be pursued.
 But two modes of procedure have been suggested, one contemplating the taking of the matter in hand by the Supreme Court, and the other turn ing the matter over to the executive branch of the government.
 In the first event, the officers re- sponsible for the custody of the pris. oner would probably be called upon to answer to the court and in case the matter would be turned over to the ex ecutive branch there would be an et- fort to secure the arrest and punish- nent of members of the mob.
 Associate Justice Harlan, who grant ed the appeal, and on whose advice the apIication for stay of execution was made to the entire court, called at the White House this afternoon, but it was stated that his visit was to present to the President former Senator Lindsay Of Kentucky. who accompanied him. They did not see the President. as the latter was out for a drive

NIT Van in NIhG EsrfAu0 bOysD
 There was more fun at the Montgom- cry Theatre last night than there has been at the Montgomery Theatre in some time. Men and women in the without restraint and there was not a moment of the entertainment when some one was not laughing poisterous-
 Billy B. Van and his bunch of en- tcrtainers were the responsible parties. Now, the word bunch" in latter days, has come to be a vulgar lolloqalism and has no place in a learned review of the play but nobody's going to write a review of this thing called "The Er- rand Boy" that enables Billy B, Van had just as well be called afhe fncor- rlglble Boy" or The Gigsling Girl" because it Is not play of any sort. It is just d potpourri, a conglomera- tion of anything else one chosses to call 1t, of nonsense, presented by a bunch-theres that word again-of clever vaudeville players.
 Billy B. Van has been playing this thing on the Biiou circuit at prices within the reach of hoi 2olloi but no man or woman in last nights audience would have the courage to say that he or she was wrenched from his or her money without consideration. This much is assured because no audience ever assembled in the old playhouse that was more enthusiastic. The ap- plause was so frequent and so insistent and the cperings on the stage were so absurd that the sober minded critic sat still and wondered. Assuredly Bill ly B. Van and his bunch-again-gave that audience its moneys worth of fool ishness
 MT. Van is clever comedian witt methods of his own. He gets over the footlights. takes liberties with his au- dience, and expodes slang phrases ir a truly original style. It was his first visit to Montgomery and those people who saw him last night will want tc see him again.
 Helping tho star nightly was Glen Blevins and Frank C. Evans, as "Reub characters. and Ali G, Pearce. as shv manager of a stranded musical comedy company. These four are exceptional ly good comedians and whenever they were on the stage something was un- corked from the laugh department
 It ght be said truly that everybody and everything in the company was in the comedy line because there was no dullnass about the entertainment. It

Austria Is Working On n New Scheme And the Neutral Powers Are
 Trying Herd For R Settle
MONTGOMERY
 100, O,O0O.

AIgeciras, March 20.---A basis for the adjustment of the rival claims of France and Germany before the conference on Moroccan reforms, has not yet been found.
 The Associated Press learns from one of the most interested of the delegates that the Austrians are preparing fur ther police project which, 1t Is hoped, will contain a suggestion less objec- tionable to France than the Casa Blan- ca proposition, while at the same time safeguard the international principle. The proposed guarantee consists of an Inspecting general with full power, nominated by the powers, to which he shall be responsible.
 Should this scheme not effect a re- conciliation of German and French ideas, then Russia win introduce an amended plan which will be discussed simultaneously with the Austrian plan until a final understanding Is reached
 Meanwhile Henry White, the chief of the American delegation. is taking the lead of the other neutral delegates in active endeavors to effect speedier settlement than the one suggested
 Most of the delegates are absolutely wearied whilst awaiting the arrival of the eternal tomorrow, when an ar engagement is promised, but which Is daily put off again. as the result of apparently intending pour parleurs at the various European chancellories. It is stated this evening that this week will see the end of the conference and the impression is growing that a set clement is much nearer than Is admitted by the delegates who generally dis play extreme reticence.
 The French delegates are the only quarter where pessimism Is shown, the general opinion decidedly rejecting the idea of a rupture.

 Representative Webber, of Ohio, who attracted much attention by the intro duction of bill for absolute prohibi- tion in the District of Columbia, spoke In favor of the pending measure to regulate shipment of liquor into local option districts.

Boutelle's ob- jection that this bill would interfere with the sovereign rights of the diff ferent States was denied by MT. Will Hams emphatically.

 The weather today Is cold and dry, a little snow being noticeable for an hour this morning. The weather bu- reau officials expressed the opinion that while the thermometer registered around freezing point for an hour or so today the fruit crop is not damaged. The fact that many of the peach trees in this vicinity are in bloom will prob ably same them from destruction by the cold spell.

MIR. BLISS IS DUMB
DECLINES, TO DISCUSS THE HAMIL-
 TON VOUCHER.
Life Insurance Legislative Agent Says He Paid Over STO,000 to the Re- publican National Execu-
 tive Committee.

New York, March 20.-The Herald to- day reproduces a fac similie of what purports to be a voucher for 1000 given Andrew Hamilton in 1896, by the treasurer of the Republican National Committee. The check was originally drawn for $10.000, and was dated Oe- tober l. Subsequently it was changed to acknowledge a total of $7O.00O, and the date. October 20, was added.
 The Herald says that the voucher was exhibited yesterday by Andrew Hamilton. formerly legislative agent of the New York Life Insurance Com pany, at Albany and that Hamilton alleged that the receipt was received by him in acknowledgement of two contributions which he had been in- structed to Take to the Republican ma tional campaign fund There is noth- ing in the alleged voucher to indicate that it is other than an acknowledge ment of cash received from Hamilton personally.
 When the subject of the voucher was brought to the attention of Cornelius N. Bliss treasurer of the Republican National Committee last night, he promptly repudiated all knowledge of such a voucher positively declaring. of the kind existed.
 The Herald quotes Mir. Bliss as say ing:
 T have sa:d all that I care to say about the matter. No such sum was paid over by MT. Hamilton or the New York Life My word ought to be ac- cepted as final"
 But it Is now known that a voucher exists
 That is untrue. No such receipt ex- ists. If any one says so. he lies. Have you seen such a voucher"
 Yes, Mir. Bliss. and I have photo graph of that voucher. Will you let me show it to you in order that you may pass upon the gcnuineness of the signatures?''
 No, sir. won't look at it. I de- cline to say another word about the matter"

Dundee is the only port in the
British isles tnat owns whale ships.
Toward the end of the. century be-
fore last nearly all the east coast
ports had whalers of their own. Lon
don had thirty-four ships. The fall
ing off of the industry is due chiefly
to the scarcity Of fright" whales.
But the turning point Of the decay
was taken when coal gas was discov-
cred, and there was a fall in the i'm
poI lance Of oils as illu1ninants. But
each season Dundee sends her whal-
