 ton.

Atlanta January 3O.-Mrs. Nina May Dupre, young woman about 20 years old, who lives with w. H.

After cutting her throat and leaving her in dying con dition from loss of blood and nervous ex- citment the negro escaped. A posse of more than a hundred citizens with track hounds is following the negro tonight and if he is captured he will in all probability be summarily lynched.
 The assault upon the young woman occurred some time between the hour of 1 and 1 o'clock ths afternoon. MT Grog- gan and his wife returning home from Att lanta at the latter hour found her dying in the dining room in a pool of her own blood. Physicians were immediately sum moned. but despair of her recovery. She was too weak to say more than that a tall black negro was the perpetrator of the crime.

ROOSEVELT CALLS
 FOR THE REPORT
Wants Information Regarding Alleged Illegal Combination Between the
 Pennsylvania and Other Lines.

Washington, January 9O.-In response to the Resolution of the House of Repre- sentatives, President Roosevelt today called upon the interstate commission for a report calling for the alleged existence of combination or arrangement between the Pennsylvania Railroad company, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio and other railroads, in violation of the antitrust law. The resolution as amended in the House provided that the information should be furnished only in case it should not be deemed incompati- ble with the public interest to do so. The fact that the President sent the re solution to the committee upon its re- ceipt is indicative that he does not so regard it. Chairman Knapp at once called his colleagues into conference and the re ply is in course of preparation.
 Inquiry at the offices of the interstate commerce commission today disclosed the fact that the only data upon which the commission can base it's report upon out side matter already of public knowledge is contained in the reports of the rail- roads themselves annually supplied to the commission in accordance with the re- quirement of law. These reports the commission have regarded as confiden- tial, but 1t is understood details of man. agement and ownership of stocks, bonds. etc, are given in them which throw con siderable light upon the subject in is- glia

Pictures Spectre of Medical
 Trust in Mystery
CRY FOR MORE PUBLICITY
Tells Doctors That Patients Are Reach ing the Point Where They Do Some Thinking for
 Themselves.

Albany N Y, January 30.-The medical society of the state of New York cele- brated tonight in connection with it's an nual meeting the centennial of its organ zation. Former President Cleveland was one of the speakers. MT. Cleveland re- ceived an ovation when he was intro- duoed.
 For the purpose of our argument said he, 'let us divide humanity into two sections, one composed of a few doctors and the other embracing the many mill lions of their actual or prospective pa- tients l appear for myself and these millions. I claim at the outset notwith- standing our large majority, the medical section of mankind has in one way or another curtailed the opportunity of free dom of thought and considerate hearing to which we are entitled by the laws of nature and of natures god. We ac- knowledge that the world owes this mi- nority living. With a generous delicacy which reaches subllmity, we are on their account not over obedient to the laws of health and we sometimes pay their bills. When sick we submit with more or less humility to their orders. If we recover. it is only to take our place on the wait ing list still subject to further advice. If we do not recover it is left to us to do the dying"
 MT. Cleveland acknowledge the great debt which humanity owes to the medical profession and the noble advancement that profession had made, but declared that 1t had not been made without some corresponding advance in the intelligent thought and ready information of their patients along the same lines. We have come to think ourselves as worthy of confidence in the treatment of our ail- ments and we believe if this were accord ed to us in greater measure, 1t would be better for the treatment and better for us. Nor should it be considered strange is thousands among us influenced va sentiment just now astonishingly prevalent, should allow themselves to be disturbed by the spectre of a medical trust in mystery and like all who are trust affrighted, should cry out for great publicity between physician and patient"

St. Petersburg, January 30-Alarmed by by the stern and vigorous campaign waged by the troops under General AIlk- hanoffm the inhabitants of the Caucasus are abandoning the revolutionary cause. They Ire coming in by thousands to make submission and are giving the most ab- ject promises of good conduct in the fu- ture. The campaign against the active in- surgents in the mountains has thereby been much facilitated. In many cases the
 inhabitants themselves have delivered the ringleaders of the instructions. in telegram to the Emperor, Count Von No- rontzoff- -Dashkoff. vlceroy of the Cauca- sus. says General Allkanoff received one deputation of 5000 persons, representing 120O communes near Kwirili. The deputa- ton which was headed by nobles and clergymen, promised to stop the disorders. to return all property and arms seized. and to pay all arrears of rents and taxes if the general would refrain from pun ishing the people. Another deputation brought in the participants from the at tacks on the troops at Tangera bound with ropes.
 The guilty participants will be executed In the district of Osurgetti. however the viceroys say almost the entire population remains obdurate. One-half of the people fled to the mountains and others are roaming the country ravaging it and burning houses. Count Witte has re- ceived from the governor of MoghlelH an account of the disturbance at Gomel where there has been fighting in the streets and incendiarism. The origin of the disturbances, the governor attributes to the murder of police lieutenant hy revolutionaTies. The troops while they are restoring order are subject to attacks by bombs and bullets from the houses. The governor says the soldiers are forced to answer these attacks by firing volleys. The number of dead or wounded is not yet known.
