Prisoners Badly Burned.

McRae, Ca, Jan, 29,-About 1856
O'Clock Sunday night, the Telfair coun
ty Jail was discovered on fire. Five
prisoners in the structure were badly
burned, the injuries of some of whom
may perhaps prove fatal Among
the prisoners who were badly burned
was Jack Mcleod, white, one of the al
legged murderers of Joe Studstill. The
origin of the fire Is unknown, but
it is supposed to have been the work
OF the prisopeds, who hoped to eect
their escape in the confusion and ex
element caused by the fire.

LA CROSSE, Wis, March 21.-By
waking from a death-like trance in
the nick of time, Mrs. w. r. Sherwood,
a bride of week, and 25 years of age,
saved herself from being buried alive.
She so surprised two women who

at o'clock in the afternoon. Her
body was placed on a bier and an I'M

Just before dawn two friends, sit
ting with the corpse, were startled by
a wild Shrek and, peering into the
death chamber, found the corpse sit
ting up. She was delirious from
fright having realized her narrowing
position without being able to move.
Mrs. Sherwood will recover.

Arriving at the station, the official

view of the matter and was about to
commit Upton to a cell when the lat

Then Sir Thomas had talk with the
complainant, and after he had been
seen privately, he declared that ne
wanted to withdraw the charge and
that he alone was to blame.
Sir Thomas was released amid pro-
found apologies all around, and when
he came out of the station the crowd
that a moment before had tried to as
sault him, cheered him to the echo.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 21.-
At the session of the board of par

commute the death sentence Of George
Hossey, the negro voodoo doctor, con-

old negro has become weak-m minded

scarcely responsible for his actions.
The district attorney, as well as the
sheriff and the officials of the police

NEW YORK, March 21.-George
Harvey, editor Of Harper's Weekly,
devotes the leading editorial of this
weeks issue to a serious discussion
of his recent suggestion that Wood
row Wilson, president of Princeton
university, be the next democratic
candidate for the presidency of the
United States.
In a categorical statement Of the
reasons which make President Wilson

the fact that he was born in Virginia
be an everlasting pledge of a country
united" says he is an accomplished
scholar, an idealist, yet notably sane;
a genuine orator whose words ring
true and bear conviction; that he
stands for everything sound and pro-
gressive: that his fidelity to the in
terests of the people is unquestioned;
that he represents no class" and is in
the fullness of his power in age and
experience.
Mr.. Harvey says Professor Wilson
has profound convictions from instinct
and learning, but has no enemies; that
he possesses personal magnetism and
is not only high minded. but broad
minded and strong minded.

Resolved, That this so-called mag

would laud rebellion would erect a

Action Proposed by Milwaukee
Road Causes Unrest
OTHER COMPANIES MUCH PERTURBEO
TRAFFIC MANAGERS SEE ALL
MANNER OF EVIL RESULTS
FROM PROPOSITION.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Western rail-
road officials are much perturbed over
the proposal of the Milwaukee road to
reduce through rates on commodities
between the Atlantic seaboard and the
Missouri river Their chief objection
is the claim that the reduction VIII
require almost a complete revision of
tariffs OF the western association and
will be prejudicial to the interests OF
the western lines.
One official declared that if the Mil
waukee road succeeds in bringing
about the reduction the railway COM
missions of the various states un-
doubtedly will take the cue and order
further reductions, using the Milwau-
KEGS case as an example. He also
said the action would materially re-
duce the earnings of the roads.
Milwaukee Is Firm.
Notwithstanding all the criticism
that has been brought to bear, the Mil
waukee is firm in it's belief that the
rates should be reduced. 1t takes the
position that the present through rate
is too high and that it should be cut
even though the action should be
taken by others as indicative that
freight rates generally should be re-
duced.
1t is no secret among railroad men
that before the passage of the Elkins
law Missouri river jobbers did not pay
the regular $1.40 rate on goods from
the Atlantic seaboard. This rate was
usually shaved about 20 cents in CON-
missions and other ways SO that the
actual rate paid by these jobbers was
only about $127, the figure to which
the Milwaukee now proposes to cut the
tariff. But the passage of the law for
bidding rebates really has operated =
increase the Atlantic coast Missouri
river rates.
See New Light.
When the Great Western road, sew
eral weeks ago, proposed to reduce the
rates the Chicago merchants raised a
vigorous protest, But now the Milwau-
kee officials declare that the mer-
chants will be benefited by the reduc-
ton They maintain that the reduc-
ton of the through rate will mean a
reduction of the Chicago Missouri
river rate. which will be a benefit to
Chicago.
The entire question will come before
next Tuesday.

REVOLT IN IRELAND.
William O'Brien Issues a Statement on
Situation in Emerald Isle.

LONDON, March 21.-The following
statement has been issued by William
O'Brien, M. P, one Of the Irish leaders
in parliament, to the press Of Great
Britain:
There has been a revolution going
on peacefully in Ireland. The policy
of Cancellation is now almost univer-
sally accepted by the nationalist and
by a rapidly increasing number of
unionists, both of the landlord class
and Orange democracy of Belfast. The
change has attracted attention in Eng
land owing to the fact that for the
first time differences among leading
Irishmen have been decided by the
progress of intelligent opinion, without
any public conflict. But everybody in
Ireland knows what change has
taken place.
1.-THE victory in West Belfast was
the most notable event of the general
election for the nationalists, and at the
banquet the other night to celebrate
the victory, it was freely admitted
that it could not have been won with
out the vote of hundreds of protestant
wOrkmen.
"The advantages of the growing al
lance between the Irish uniOnists and
the nationalists are cordially acknawl-
edged, not merly by Mr.. Redmond, but
by those who only a few months ago
were conscientiously opposed to the
policy of Cancellation. The new atti-
tude of the nationalist leaders will do
much to remove any remaining friction
in the nationalist party, and will facil-
itate the new government enormously
in dealing with the Irish situation"

Men Will Try to Grow Tall.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-The
Japanese of the future are to be of
the normal stature of the Caucasian
race, according to Baron Takaki, sur
geon general of Japan. The baron de-
clares this will be brought about by
the Japanese eating the proper kind of
food
Baron Takahi in a lecture last night
at the University of Pennsylvania,
said that it was a national humiliation
that the Japanese were so small phys
ically He said that if in the centuries
makes muscles, bone and sinew, they
would be of normal height.
The baron denied that the Japanese
were of normal size centuries ago. He
said they have been dwarfed and di-
minutive for ages.
DR.. Takaki quoted statistics Of the
Japanese army and navy to prove that
by giving the men proper diet he has
brought them nearer to the standard
weight and size of the men Of the
English and American navies. He
also declares that many diseases COM
mon in Japan have been almost wiped
out by the same method. Dr. Takaki
has made it his life work to find a
method by which the size Of the Jap
anese can be increased without mixing
the breed.
