FIGHTING A CRAFTY REBEL.
Germans Have Foe in Africa Who Has
Cost $780, OO,OOO..

Berlin.-Oficial dispatches received
from German Southwest Africa an
nounce the failure of the comprehen-
sive surrounding movement undertaken
by the German troops against Jacob
Morengo, the last and most active OF
the native leaders of the rebels. The
movement had been going on for
weeks, and six large detachments with
| fifteen field and machine guns. partici-
| pated in it.
Colonel Deimling, the former COM
mander-in-Chief in South Africa, in a
| speech in the Reichstag said it was an
error to suppose that Morengo was a
savage with rings in his nose and ears.
He was as hard-headed and intelligent
q mar rs he had met. wore English
riding clothes and spoke Dutch from
having lived in Cape Colony. Morengo
! owned a large farm in German South
west Africa and had a certain amount
of generosity, for he gave a German
| whose farm he had plundered $3.50
| with which to return home in the first
cabin.
The Reichstag passed the fourth sup
| Elementary African budget Of $780,
600. The total cost of the nsurrection
up to date is about S150,000,0 00.

MOB MOCKS SUPREME COURT
Lynches a Negro After a Federal Stay
f. Was Granted.

4 Chattanooga, Tenn.-Ed. Johnson, a
negro, was taken from the Jail here by
a mob of seventy-five men and hanged
to a beam of the county bridge over the
Tennessee River.
The rope broke, the negro's body fell
and the mob quickly riddled him with
bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the jailer
were locked in a bathroom while the
mob secured the prisoner.
johnson was to have been hanged
the day on which the lynching occurred
for an assault upon a white woman,
but the United States Supreme Court
granted a stay of execution, and this
action. served to enrage the citizens of
the city.
At 1915 p. m. seventy-fve deter
mined men assembled at the Jail and
gained admission. Overpowering the
sheriff and his deputies they secured
the prisoner and quietly led him to the
bridge. The mob was composed of
men of mature years.
Washington, D. C.-The lynching at

johnson, after an appeal had been
granted him by the United States Su-
preme Court, is an act in. contempt of
the court probably without precedent
in its history. The question of pro-
ceedings by the Federal Government
against the leaders of the mob who
lynched Johnson is being considered
by the Department of Justice.

Beckley has merely: said that the di-

The news that the bank was closed
created a profound sensation when it
became generally known, and scores or
mine workers, most Of them foreigners,
who had savings deposited there quit
work and rushed to the bank. An ex-
.ited crowd hung around all day.

ion to ascertain how much, the bank

FRANCIS GOES TO AUSTRIA
President Names Troy Man to Kc'
place Storer in Vienna
Retirement Due to Friction Follow Ing
Activity in Church Politics-Piace For
Former Governor Blacks Friend.

Washington, D. C.-Presi6ent Roose-
Welt has adjusted the unsatisfactory
| condition existing in the American
Embassy to Austro-Hungary by ap-
pointing Charles S. Francis, of Troy,
N. Y, to that post.
Bellamy Storer, the retiring Ambas-
sador, is now in Egypt with his wife,
although the President has beer ex-
pecting him to come to washington
to have a talk about the matters WHICH
have caused friction and p~erplexlty.
The appointment Of Mr.. Francis was
not expected. The secret Of the man
picked for the Austrian Embassy was
50 we'll kept that no inkling of 1t es-
capped until the news was announced
in the White House. y.
The new Ambassador is a son OF
the late John II. Francis. of Troy. VINO
began a diplomatic career OF merit ny
serving rs Minister to Greece. To this
place Charles S. Francis was appoint
ed by President Mckinley III 1871.
The older Francis was also the diplo-
matte representative of this Govern
ment at Vienna, the post to which the
son has now been appointed.
Mr.. Francis, as was his father, Is an
active politician, and had much to do
with the nomination of Frank 5.
Black for Governor Of New York IN
1896.
Mr.. Francis is a Cornell graduate
and q trained athlete. He was the sim
gle scull champion of this country.
He is of pleasant address and has
great tact and patience.
The activity of Mr.. and Mrs. Storer
in church politics in Vienna was not
the only factor in a situation which
the President deemed it unwise to al
low to continue, but it was the most
important. Mrs. Storer desired the au-
t%horization of an additional Cardinal
in the United States.
When last in the United States Mr..
Storer told friends he desired to be
transferred to Rome. 1t is believed
he desired to be sent to the Italian
capital when Henry White was APP
pointed Ambassador there.
President Roosevelt vas surprised
and, it is said, displeased at the effort
made to enlist his Endorsement for any
one in the matter of a new Cardinal.
At no time was he disposed to grant
Mr.. Storer's desire to be transferred
to Rome.
Some of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Storer are inclined to think they Will
not return to the United States to
live. They do not care much TO-: Gin
cinnati, and their house in Washing
ton is leased to the French Ambassa-
dor. Mr.. Storer's wife is an aunt of
Representative Nicholas Longworth.
