ONE LIFE LOST IN ALTA NTA.
Heavy Rains Did Much Damage in
Georgia City.
(Atianta Constitution, Sth.)

Atlanta paid a toll of one dead
and thousands of dollars property
damage Friday as the result of
heavy downpour Of rain that broke
the drouth Of nearly three months.
A drenching rain between Z and s
o'clock in the morning, when the
precipitation was 1T inches, fol-
lowed the continuous sprinkle that
had kept up earlier in the day. Three
inches fell before 10 o'clock in the
morning and the fainfall for the day
was placed at 4 inches.
Streets were flooded, trolley cars
were stopped for 20 minutes in vari-
ous sections of the city; several
sman telephone CABLES were broken;
GO telephones were put out OF COM
mission in Decatur: water mains
were washed up and storm sewers,
taxed by the ohrush OF the floods in
the streets, broke under the strain.
Drowned i'm Sewer.
w. L. Trussell, age 30. Of 206 Fair
street. and employed in the city con-
Struction gang, was drowned when
he sought refuge il. ln' new Hill and
Orm0nd streets sever now under
construction. Several members Of the
gang escaped, but, caught in the
rush OF water, Trussell was borne
through 400 feet Of the sewer and,
,h; hn
by brick from lateral sewers that
had broken and fallen into the new
sewer, which is ) II by feet inside.
Fully $50 feet OF the old 12-foot
lateral sewer were destroyed, and to
repair the damage will cost the city
several thousand dollars. The new
sewer was being constructed to re-
lieve the strain on the lateral sew
ers in just such instances, and with
in another few weeks would have
served its purpose.
Millions to Farmers.
Reports from other sections of the
State and other Southern States were
that the rain had been general and
would mean millions OF dollars to
the farming interests. Conditions
were becoming serious with the far
mers and the grain crops, which
were larger this year than ever be-
fore on account Of the surplus Of cot
ten from last year. and are relied on
to be the mainstay of the season.
The rain Friday was the first re-
corded since February %, when the
precipitation was more than one inch
in a period Of "a hours. On that
date the precipitation was 1.G5 in
ches. The heavy rainfall Of ~
inches in one hour was exceeded on
August 80, 1914, when $40 inches
fell in so minutes. The record pre-
cipitation for Atlanta was 4.3O
inches on July 23, 1898, in one hour
and SO minutes.
The rainfall for the month Of
April, this year, was only .35 Of an
inch, as opposed TO the normal of
3.G3 for the month Of April.

AMERICAN NOTE TO JAPAN.
Prospects for Peaceful Settlements of
Japan-China Difficulties Brighter.

Japan.China DtllCulueS Bf1SnteT.
Washington, May Tn formation
from a high official source late to-
day is that the Far Eastern crisis
has been averted and that favora-
Bile settlement between Japan and
China is in prospect.
The United States through its am
bassador, has during the last "a
hours consulted Great Britain, Rus
sia and France, as the allies Of ia
pan, to learn their attitude toward
the present status of the Japanese
Chinese negotiations.
Secretary Bryan announced to-day
that the United States had received
the substance OF the Japanese ulti-
matum to China and that it con-
tanned important notifications by
Japan. He declined to say whether
the notifications were satisfactory
to the American government
Group Five Was Hsliked.
1t is known that the efforts Of the
United States as well as the other
powers interested in China have been
directed toward the mod dific alton of
Group 5, which, from the Pekin
viewpoint, has seemed to threaten
the political and administrative in
dependence of China.
Practically all the other japanese
demands, relating to commercial
rights and special privileges in spe
cific localities, have been accepted
by China.
While the gravity Of the situation
generally was realized here, the dis
position in official as we'll as Japa-
ncsc quarters was to believe that the
pending questions were still capable
Of being settled without abandoning
diplomatic means.
There has been a confidence in
some quarters, based on press ad-
vices from Pekin, that President
Yuan Shi kai intends to accept final
ly the Japanese demands, but is anX-
ious about the internal situation in
China should he yield, and probably
desires therefore to comply only af-
ter the presentation Of an ultima tum
or even an appeal to the powers to
show the Chinese the hopelessness of
resistance.
The American Position.
The general position Of the Ameri-
can government was set forth in a
statement by Secretary Bryan last
night after n consultation with Pres
ident Wilson. The statement en-
planned that there is no abatement
OF the American governments inter
est in he welfare and progress of
China, and declared its sole interest
in the sotiationS is that they may
result in an agreement satisfactory
to both nations and thereby con-
tribute to world peace. The pro-
nOunccment says Japan promised
the United States that she would not
violate American treaty rights with
China nor interfere with the "open
door policy.
1t was pointed ont that the Ameri-
can government has 30 intention OF
Surrendering any of its treaty rights
with China.

German Successes Continue.

Berlin, May 5.-The southern
wing Of the Russian army in West
Galicia has been broken along
front Of "a miles. according to a dis
patch to the Tageblatt from spe-
cial correspondent.
THE attack was made with such
determination, says the correspond
ent, that the Russians were forced
to abandon not only their first line,
but also the villages back Of the
front which served as quarters. Only
in Gorlice did the Russians make a
stand This town was destroyed by
an artillery bombardment and a bit
, ter street fight preceded its capture
by the Germans.
"All the staff officers Of one Rus
sian division were killed or wound
ed, including several generals. The
ma iority Of the prisoners wore mill
| tary caps. but civilian clothing. They
complained Of insufficient food.
The PetrOgrad Report.
Petrograd, May 5.-The following
| official communication was issued by
| the Russian war Office Tonight:
"In the region Of Rossicny CKov-
| no PrOvince) we are successfully ad-
vancing. On the other fronts, as far
as the Upper Vistula, there is no
change.
in Galicia the fighting between
the Vistula and the Carpathians is
developing with unvarying stubborn
ness. The Germans have brought
up to the fighting lines fresh forces
OF great strength, supported by very
numerous artillery. The enemy,
following his old tactics Of attacking
in massed formation, is suffering
enormous losses.
Some Of our units fell back to
the second line OF fortifcations after
desperate fighting. During the
night Of May 2-3 in the direction of
Stry the enemy recaptured part Of
the trenches on Mount Makuvka. The
following night we cOunter-attacke
and dislOdgcd the enemy. We cap
tured here over | 200 prisoners, in
Guiding 80 officers.
In the region Of Angclow. in the
Upper Lomnitza, the enemy on April
so assumed the offensive on a some
what extensive front, but the move
mCnt was barren of results"
Vienna Reports Successes.
Vienna, May 5.---The Austrian war
department to-day issued this Off
cial statement:
'The Russian front Of Iboro-
SztrOpk pko-LupkOw, in the Beskid
mountains, has become untcnable.
As the victorious allies are continu-
ally advancing from the west toward
JaslOw and Semigrod the enemy on
the west Carpathian front started
this morning in full retreat from
Hungary, pursued by the Austro-

THE Russians, therefore, were
beaten on front of $50 Kilometres
