Russia's coupe has. caused, profound, sur? prise here, as recent developments had led to the expectation that Russia would compromise lier demands since they had been revealed to the powers. The latest manoeuvre Is looked upon aa being caused by China's refusal to grant the demand? of Russia, and as declaring that she Is ready to fight to maintain posses? sion of Manchuria.

WOMEN BRAVED THE STORM AND RAIN Attendance on Convention ofthe Wom? an's Missionary Union Broke All Records, Despite the Downpour of the Elements?Eloquent Sermons Preached at the Night Session. (From a State Correspondent) SAVANNAH, GA., May 8.?In a steady downpour of rain, which commenced last night and continued all of to-day, the Houthern Baptist Convention commenced its forty-eighth annual session at First Baptist Church, this morning1, at 10 o'clock. In the early hours of the session there were indications of a Blornl that might bring on debate ?G?? to say a wrangle to lengthen the session. A Mississippi divine raised the point that tho rapid manner of electing officers was undemocratic and although the candidate then In nomi? nation had no opposition' the Mississip plan Insisted on a tedious ballot, which in so large a body would have consumed much time. , A thing that Is undemocratic in a Bap? tist gathering, ordinarily beare close rela? tion to a red flag in a Dovine pen ah<3 the Mississippi divine had a strong fol? lowing in the convention. However, the conaorvatlves wer- in lariic majority, and the demand for a. ballot on each officer was not sustained and at least a day's precious time was saved. GOVERNOR, WAS SHREWD. When the election of t?e "Tour vice presidents was befog had another threat? ened trouble was deftly warded off. Two men were-nominated from Georgia, ex Mayor Hlllyer, of Atlanta, and Gov? ernor J.

The former is e, pro? nounced prohibitionist, while the Gov? ernor has been straddling the liquor iene?, particularly In the campaign for the Democratic nomination for Governor, which straddling arrayed against hlni the strict prohibition element In the par? ty. The nomination of these two Geor? gians arrayed tho forces on prohibition lines, for prohibitionists, "never forget, and as a matter of fact the Governor would have been beaten. He saw the situation and In a most graceful little speech re? fused to let his name go before lho con? vention for vice-president.

After discussing tho matter thoroughly, the Committee on Finance yesterday af? ternoon recommended tho adoption and enactment of an ordinance next your, fixing tho liquor license tax at $250, the Wholesale and retail dealers to bo rated the same. It is understood the vote on this all important question was practi? cally unanimous, and the ordinance will go to the Board of Adermen next Tuesday night, when it will doubtless bo passed. The'meeting ot the Finance Committee yesterday was calleu especially for the purpose of considering the liquor llcenso question, an ordiiuuico regulating the fee to be imposed by the city having been introduofcd at tho last regular moot? ing of the Common Council.

WUllo tho meeting of tho Finance Com mitteo yesterday was exocutlva. as usual, it Ib known that the measure received careful attention, being considered and debnted In all of its phases. Councilman Creiifihaw, patron of tho ordinance, woa hcurtily In favor of Its recommendation without being altered, but ho was almost alone In this view. A number of other members opposed assessing tho wnolesalo dealers $100 moro per annum than retail? ers, and soveral substitutes for this ob? jectionable feature were suggested. They were withdrawn, however, as none of them wero pressod to' u vote. PRACTICABLY UNANIMOUS. Finally, It wn-s decided to recommend the crdlnnnoe for adoption, after elimi? nating that section Imposing an addition? al tax upon wholesale dealers, and the voto on this proposition was practically unanimous. In the ?went the Council adopt? the recommendation of tho Finance Commit tee and the ordinance eventually becomes a law, It will not becomo operative before 1901. Tho early port of the proposition was prompted by the huge fight that Is usually provoked loto In the year by an effort to Increase the license tnxu tioii. ? number of prominent whiskey men and saloon dealers wero seen last night, and to a man thoy were heartily In favor of the flat license scheme, as recommend? ed by the Committee on Finance. It has been argued by them for some time that nil dealers should be placed on the name footing, no discrimination being mad?

Five or six months ago u report reached this ?ilv that he was dying, and cen? erai surrow was caused by the news.

Anderson, Bruce, Byars, Chapman, Claytor, Cogbill,' Dinwiddie, Donohoe, Ford, Gold, Gun? ter, Harman, Keezell, Lupton, Sears, Shackelford, Shands, St. Clair, Tyler' Walker and Wickham?21. The case of C. J. Campbell, judge of the County Court of AmJiorst, offorts to remove whom have engaged the atten? tion of tho General Assembly for four or live months at intervals, is now drawing to a close. The Senato yesterday voted down, the Mcllwaine resolution proposing to hear the case anew before a Joint com? mittee of the General Assombly. and it Is now only a question of agreeing tO'-thu causes of removal. Tho vote on tha Mcll? waine resolution is decisive, and clearly forecasts tho removal of tho Judge. The Mcllwaine report of the Commltteo for Courts of Justice was defeated, 21 to 13. This is regarded as a fair test of tho strength of the opponents of re? moval and tho advocates of that course, for though the questions involved were absolutely legal questions it was impos? sible to separate the effect upon the case of Campbell from the legal phases of tho matter. Indeed, It may be slated u.at the Senate yesterday voted on the Camp? bell case, not on tho proposition of law and constitutional construction, though many honestly held that the manner of removing was a vastly more Important question than the effect it might have on the fate of tho Judge, It may bo uasert cd with almost positive certainty that the three-days' debate preceding the vote did not avail to chango the position or ln lluenco tho vote of any senator. To Strike Out Causes. The Senate will convene at 10 A. M. to? day and will take up the case In it's next phase. The first question will be as to the causes of removal. Mr. Shackelford has offered a resolution to strike out the second and fourth causes of removal agreed on by the House, Other motions of this naturo as to other causes of re? moval muy be made, for there la consid? erate diversity of views on these ques? tions. With tho matter of cau.ses o? removal disposed of, a debato on the mer? its of tho case will ensue, Jusi how, much time this will consume la not Known, but it Is expected that a final vote will bo reached to-day, though It may be lato In tho afternoon. Enough voles 10 remove the Judge were recorded against .the Mcllwaine resolution to leave no doubt of that ultimate result. It was 11:45 o'clock when the debate on the Campbell case was renewed, Mr, Byars, of Bristol, being recognized ns tho first speaker, He suited his position on the questions at issue clearly and tulelly; first, that ho shared tho view* of Mr, Mellwalno so far ?is to hold Hint the causes of removal must be entored on the Journal, but ho believed the uilou tlon of the amendment of Mr. Anderson would remedy this delect In tho House Joint resolution. The Hristol Senator ?lid not agree with thoso who contended that tho record of tho Investigation was not legul evidence In the cast?, claiming thai the members had .the right ?uid oppor? tunity to Investigate the authenticity nnd uccuracy of that record. It was as much a matter of official knowledge an wns tho answer of Judge Campbell, and Senators had no inoro right to recognis? lho ono than ilio oilier. Mr. Uyars con tended that the General Assembly was tho sulo judge of the sufficiency of the causes of removal, and tint it might re? move u Judgo ol the Court of Appeals for eating peanuts on the bench or for chewing tobaccu or .smoking ?lgaroltos or for being a Republican, ihe sneaker regarded the record as legni evidence, and the evidence ?n this case; that ju?Ua Campbell had had adequate notice and ample opportunity to defend himself, Mr. Byars declared ih.u he hud originally onnosed tin Investigation of the Campbell cuse nnd was Inclined to think that It was forced on tin General Assembly by Hi,? push. Ho wns prepared now tu ad? mit that the newspapers knew more about tli:?? inalivi? than tho members of tin?
