Surely thc mellenniuru ?8 uear at
hand. Vox thc lirst time in iifty year?
thc Democratic party last week elect
ed their candidates for Mayor in sev
eral cities in thc State of Maine.
If Conipti'ollcr (iencral Jones en
forces the law penalizing corporations
failing or refusing to make returns and
pay thc license tax, there is lots of
trouble ahead for thc small corpora
tions in South Carolina.
There are just now seven men
under sentence of death in this State,
with the strong probability that four
of these will bo hanged within thc
next few months. Four out of thc
seven aro white men, aDd two of those
arc men of means aud influence.
California senators accused of ac
cepting bribes have been expelled
from thc legislature of that State.
For some occult reason or other, thc
way of the transgressor is unusually
hard this season. Maybe thc public
conscience is rousing from it.s apathy.
It begins to look that way.

An official proclamation has been

his prompt signature, (jencrai Lee
urges upon all parties, North and
South, who have colors in their pos
session to return them at ouce to thc

this basis remains to be seen. Io tbi

stands ready to make appointments
and people interested will do well ti
Jake the matter up with their respec

Congressman Livingston, of Geor

days ago, said before leaving Wush

Roosevelt and tho president assurci
him he hoped to pleaso thc people o

The farmers are being given al

down the cotton aoreuge this year
Don't simply resolve to ont it dowi
and then go off and plant more thar
ever on the theory that your neighbor!
are going to cut their acreage and you
might ac well plant a little more.
Don't simply resolve, but also do. li
the farmers will out down the cotton
acreage and produce a smaller cror
they will get more r/ oney for it and it
will be raised at leis ezpenne, The
farmer is more than likely to have
trouble securing labor this year. The
high price paid for labor last y ear can
not be paid this year. That is a well
established faot and the laborers will
find it out. Many of ?hem will not
want to work at thc figures that will
prevail this year. Many of them will
not work at the figures. The farmer
will have fewer laborers and tho city
will have mora idlers. Therefore there
ia no use in planting so muoh cotton,

Latest War News.
St. Petersburg, March 20.-While
Emperor Nicholas, whoso word is final.
?till declines to abandon the prosecu
tion ot tin; war, and tho Government
maintains itu ability to continue tho
conflict, th?; Associated Press is in u
position to state that powerful influ
ences, including several of tho Em
peror's own ministers, ar? now strong
ly urging that tho t imo has come to in
dicate to Japan Russia's desire for
peuce upon a reasonable basis. .Should
Japan then attempt to impose too ou
vrons conditions, these influences argue
that in view ot tho universal wish to
sei- tho bloody conflict ended Russia's
position will bo strengthened abroad
by the alienation of sympathy from
Japan and tho situation at borne im
proved when tho nation is made to
understand that thu Emperor's pacilic
proposals have been met with impos
able terms.
Uno o? tlio Emperor's ministers in a
conversation wi tn the Associated Press
saiii:
"Wo have Buttered bitter defeat on
land ami pea. Wc can, however, still
continuo the war. lint both countries
have suffered great losses in blood and
treasure, and it would only profit tito
rivals of both were wo to fight on until
ono or tin; other is exhausted. Russia
lias allard task fighting thowaragainst
Buch adversaries, 0,000 miles from
home, and 1 contend she can make a
dignified peace, without glory, but not
without honor. Ag tho victor on land
and sea, Japan can afford to remember,
as Bismarck ?lid at the conclusion of tho
Austro-Prussian war, that two coun
tries which must live through tho long
future as neighbors may need each
other's friendship, Japan may consider
tho time propitious, on account of tho
situation in European Russia, to try
and crush us. Suppose, for the sake
of argument, she succeeded in finally
forcing a humiliating peace, it could
not bo moro than an armed truce. Rus
sia is too big und powerful to retire
permanently from tho field. The clouds
at home eventually will roll away;
With tho urmy nnd navy reorganized,
in live, ten, or fifteen years there will
como inevitably our revenge. No
permanent peace is possible now or
later unless Japan ?B reasonable.''
To the suggestion of the possibility
of an alliance between Russia and
Japan, tho minister said:
"A reasonable peace mur,t first bo es
tablished."'
"What," was asked, "would bo rea
, sonable/'
"Jhoadly speaking, Kassia's renun
? elation of her entire Manchurian policj
should satisfy Japan's claims. Shi
could have her protectorate over Ko
rea, such privileges on tho Kwantung
, peninsula ami at Port Arthur as tl"
rowers would not oppose, anti tilt
Chinese K?steln Railway bo placet
under international control, Rusait
? maintaining ber rights to a railway
, iiii-3 through Northern Maucnuria tc
Vladivostok."
i "What would bo Russia's attitude or
t tho subject of indemnity?"
"Russia never yet has paid indem
nity, nnd history practically affords m
5 precedent for indemnity when terri
tory is not occupied to insure payment
5 and Japan holds not a foot ot RUBB?UI
- territory. Japan could, however, tnki
tho proceeds of tho palo of the property
and rigbtBof tho Chinese Eastern Rail
I way, which was built with Ruasiat
t. lunney."
Proceeding, tho minister said tin
i diilieullieB of continuing tho war wore
x tully appreciated, both from u military
and a finaucial standpoint, but neithe:
r was insurmountable. Ho denied em
) phatically that the negotiations for i
I French loan were adjourned becuusi
1 Russia would not ma'/.e peace. He ex
Ecoted that these negotiations woult
e resumed soon. The BUCCCSB of th?
internal loan, first aunouncud by th?
Associated Press Satin day, tho minis
7 ter said, is assured. As tor the quos
l tion of a new army, mach depeodet
upon tho exact situation when Gen
i Ltnevitch got tho army out of dan
5 ger.
The minister said further that "com
t plete details of Gen. Kuropatkiu'i
f losses have not yet reached tue Gov
eminent; but it IB already known tba
3 the Japanese reports are greatly exag
3 gerated. The reports that sixty Bieg?
, guns and many hundred cars wen
* left benind is false, aa practically nt
, siege guns or roil i i,g stock fell into tin
. bauds of the Japanese. No new gon
end mobilization has beon ordored

2 H00.000 reservists mobilized bist fall
110,000 und the Ith army corps, mun

Lmevitch's anny totals 200,000 whei
ho reaches Harbin (if that for instance

anny of about 100,000 without BUUI

St. Petersburg, March 21.-The

I dicate that the retreat of the Russian
army ia being conducted uneventfully.
The last few days were unmarked by

; the Russians and the Japanese at thia

marching is more important than fight

Si\tv Hurled to Death.
Brockton, Mass., March 20.-Thia
city ia in mom muir tonight tor ut least
three?score people whose lives wore
blotted out early today by the explo
sion ot ii boiler "in n large shoe manu
facturing establishment in the ("am
pollo district, conducted by tho ll. li.
Grover company.
The explosion waa immediately fol
lowed by a Hash ot' Hame, which con
surued the factory, a loriK. four-story
structure, na it it were a house of carda,
and incinerated an unknown number
of ni'-n and women who were unable
to extricate themselves trom a mans of
tangled wreckage formed by the terri
lle upheaval in the boiler room. More
than half a hundred of the employes
in the building were maimed, burned
or bruised by the time they reached
safe ground. ?Some had jumped from
the roof, some from windows and oth
ers had been injured in the Lind rush
to eacape from the doomed factory,
which from all parts emitted thc in
tense, awful heat of an inferno, driv
ing back the band of heroic rescuers
who in a few brief momenta had per
formed gallant service.
It may never be known just how
many persons perished in the wreck
age. No one knows exactly how many
persons were in the factory. The
number has been estimated at -100, but
Treasurer Charles o. Emerson Baid to
night he doubted whether there were
so many at work. Two hundred and
fifty survivors have been accounted I
tor and at midnight tonight the re
mains of 50 bodies had been recovered |
.vrom the ruina, the search being con- |
tiuued all night. Fragments of hu
man frames which possibly might be
long to bodies other than those enu
merated have also been found. Few
of tl e remains have been identified.
The bead in nearly every case is mia -
mg and except in rare iustaucea it
was impossible even to distinguish the
sex.
Chief of Police Boydon at a late hour
to-night, expressed the opinion that
some of the employees had not reached
the factory at the time of the explo
sion and that undoubtedly a number
of those living in nearby places were
injured and hat; gone home withont
reporting their injuries. Ho thought
that many of those not accounted tor,
upwards of 1(H) in number, were among
these.
An inspection of the wrecked boiler
by tho ?State boiler ?inspector Bhowed
that there was a auflloient supply of
water in it. The cause of tho explo
sion is at present a mystery. The dis
aster will be further investigated b3r
the State authorities.
The explosion occurred shortly after
the operatives had settled down to
Wuik tor tho ?lay, and without warn
) ing. Suddenly tho air vibrated with
I the roar of an explosion. At tho same
i moment the larger wooden frame of
Hie factory, a four-story structure,
quivered and then the rear portion of
it collapsed., In a fraction of a second
this section of the great building had
been transformed into a mass of iron
and wood wreckage, in the midst of
which human beings were pinioned.
In another moment tire had broken
out iu the debris and denth by fire and
suffocation became the fate of scores
of tho operatives.
When the boiler exploded it passed
upward almoBt perpendicularly, tear
iug a passage as it went, killing many
on the way. After rising high in the
?3 air, it descended half the distance and
3 then swerving northerly, cut its way
f like some huge projectile through a
r dwelling house 50 feet away and pier
ced another dwelling further along,
* I demolishing the latter structure. Here
?J I its course waa stopped.
