PRESIDENTIAL ROOMS
 MAKING SOME HEADWAY

Washington, April 5.-Supporters of George Gray of Delaware for the demo- cratic nomination for President have made arrangements for establishing head quarters in Washington, and tomorrow they will actively enter upon campaign in behalf of the Delaware statesman. Richard B. Beemish of Philadelphia, who will be in charge of the bureau states that the movement is being maoe without the aid or encouragement of Judge Gray, who, it is added, has not said word nor done anything that could be construed as seeking the nomination.
 The fund that is to finance the Wash ington headquarters has been subscribed. it is understood, by a few Delawareans and Pennsylvanians. The work to be done will be supplemented by that of similar bureau in Judge Gray's home town, Will mington. A league of Gray clubs is also

CONSUL FISHERS STAND.
American Interests In Manchur'a
 Necessitate Action.

Pelxin, April 4-There has come suu- den realization of and awakening 10 the possibilities of the political position or the United States in the matter Of Russia and Japan and the sovereignty Of Man churia.
 This situation has arisen as the result or the organization and the activity Tor lz months past of the American special con sular service. The situation has been pre- cipitated by two things: First, the refusal of Fred D. Fisher, the American consul at Harbin. to recognize the Russian ad- ministration of that territory and his sup port of the Chinese protest against the establishment by Russia of municipalities in the railroad zone at Harbn and Chail- ar independent of the Chinese government and second, by the reconsideration of all Manchurian questions which have been inaugurated recently at Pelxin.
 The throne fears that Japan is about to promulgate ordinances along the line of the Russian decree, making Harbin an m dependent municipality for the purpose ,f converting all Japanese communities in Manchuria into self-governing bodies, and it has consequently summoned Tang Shai Va, the governor of Mukden province, and

SECOND LYNCHlNG.
Young Negro Strung Up For Murder
 of White Boy.

Wesson, Miss, April 5.-John Burr, a young negro, was lynched near here today by about 30 men for the murder of a 12-year- white boy. Last night about dark, according to Burrs con- fession, and the story of an eye wit ress, he was fishing in mill pond. when Earl Smith, the 12-year son of J. W. Smith, 8 prosperous planter. approached and began conversation. Burr was an employe of Smiths fath CT snd he said to the boy Look up. LOOK at the bird"
 As Young Smith gazed sSyward the negro shot him in the back of the head with shotgun. Burr admitted the shooting, but said 1t was an accident. He threw the boys body into the mill rond and started to escape.
 During the night he was captured by officers of the sheriff and was on his way to jail, when just as the Sab hath morning dawned party of about 80 men appeared and took the prisoner away from the officers. The capture was made on a county road and the negro was quickly hanged from a tree. Several shots were fired to hasten his death. The body was then taken down and turned over to the proper author ties for burial. Good order was pre- served throughout the lynching.

STATEMENT TO BE ISSUED.
Russia Will Recognize China's Rights
 In Manchuria.

St. Petersburg, April 5.-The Russian government is considering the issuance of a statement formally recognizing Chinas sovereignty in Manchurla in so far as is consistent with the purely ad- ministrative rights of Russia in the rail- road zone. This is thought to be the best way out of the Harbin difficulty which has been brought to an issue by the refusal of Fred D. Fisher, the Amer ican consul at Harbin, to recognize the Russian administration of this territory.
 Russian diplomacy is anxious at all hazards to remove the impression that the recognizing of the administration of Harbin and Chailar involves further en- croachment upon the integrity of Man churia, and there Is reason to believe that Russia would be willing to receive suggestions as to the wording of state ment acceptable to the United States and the other powers interested which, While clearly defining the status quo under ex- jsting treaties. would permit Russia to institute necessary reforms in the admin istration of the railroad zone. These re- forms are a prerogative of Russia under the treaty of 1S96
 From conversations with foreign off cials and others interested, it would seem that the railroad administration, rather than the foreign office, Is responsible for the new regulations which have been promuls:ated at Harbin, without full ap- preciation of the possibilities of interna- tional complications.
 These regulations found general dis favor at Harbin and the Russian resi- dents were the first to protest against them
 The press comment of today raises the protest of Consul Fisher to an incident of the first rank. and several or the nrominent newspapers of the capital de- vote their leading articles to the mat ter. The Novoe vremya says it is in- conceivable that the American protest can be directed against Russian privi- leges already recognized, and that 1t must refer to some new pretensions, including the Russian scheme. the details of which are imperfectly known here. The dis satisfaction expressed even by Russians shows conclusively that the new regula- uons must fail to satisfy the needs of

Several Fights Have Occurred Lately
 Near Seoul

Tokio, April 5.-Advices from Seoul say that insurgents are showing renewed ac- tivity in the neighborhood of Seoul, sev- eral minor fights having occurred lately. The insurgent element has been encour- aged by the attitude of certain mem bers of the Corean court.
 Privy Councillor Yum has demanded the suppression of the insurgents by Corean troops instead of by Japanese. He has objected to the employment of foreigners. Viscount Some has requested him to ex- plain his demand.
 The insurgents have issued a violent circular demanding the expulsion of the Japanese from Corean territory.
 Marquis Ito, Japanese resident general. is expected to arrive in Seoul from Ja- pan next Tuesday.

 Clayton was sentenced to 15 years in the Mobile courts last summer on q charge of manslaughter, it being charged that he robbed and murdered John Mckenzie, an old white man, in this city, on Christmas eve, 1906. He was a model prisoner at the stockade and was made a trusty. Mrs. Whites fath CT -in-law this afternoon said tha. C'ayton had confessed to him during his confinement at the stockade that he had killed Mckenzie, adding "why I nearly cut the old rascaps head off with a dull knife" The evidence against Clayton at the trial here was purely circumstantial.
