-GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Cloaed Firm and Higher on an
Advance in Corn Pork Produota Higher
at the Cloae.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, September 8. The half
holiday session-; and the Government
report expectancy formed a combina
tion in opposition to efforts at business
in the grain markets to-day, that it was
difficult to overthrow. No very great
endeavors to trade were made, however,
the crowd being satisfied to close up
their deals for the week and wait future
development;). At the beginning of
the trading prices were fairly steady."
An easier feeling took possession of the
market shortly after the opening, but it
was supplanted later by firmness accom
panied by a rally to prices, corn receiv
ing the credit for the improvement. De
cember wheat opened at 57c, sold up to
5657c, closing at 57 jc, a net gain
over yesterday of !-jc. Cash wheat
was quiet and steady.
Corn The crowd were a little to pos
itive in their views yesterday. Pulling
out a little too much "short" corn at the
close to-day, were about to follow the
same tactics, but found the demand fully
capable of absorbing all offerings. This
led to a complete turn in the senti
ment, and with everybody wanting
to buy the usual outcome was seen.
Prices advanced firmly and at the
close were almost at the top point. May
com opened from 55 to 54 T8, advanced
to 55, closing at 55, Cihigher
than yesterday. Cash corn was steady,
trading being at unchanged prices with
the close nominally firmer.
The option in oats was easier and the
close firm. The trade was of an incon
sequential character with the tone
merely responsive to that of the mar
kets. May oats closed 4 higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were steady
with prices unchanged.
Packers were the best buyers of pro
visions around the opening to-day, some
of the purchases being set down to
Armour. Later, the support was with
drawn and offerings although moderate,
nevertheless pressed on the market,
causing some decline. The hog market
was an item ol strength early, but its
effrct wore off before the close, which
was five cents higher than yesterday for
Ian nary pork and ribs and 7J10c
higher for January lard.

To-day's features LiverpooKwas un
expectedly favorable to bullish intesest.
There was a renewal of heavy rainfalls
in the Atlantic and Gulf States. Some
operators were nervous about the bureau
report on Monday, and also because of
the fact that the Liverpool market will

The Little Battlement of Henrietta Wiped
Out-Business Portion of Malta Destroyed
-Buildings at Other Places Destroyed
B Telegraph to the Morning Stat
DeKalb, III , September 8. Light
ning played havoc among the various
small towns of this section last night.
As a result the business portion of
Malta, a small town of 600 inhabitans, is
in asbe?. with losses aggregating $50,000.
The little settlement of Henrietta was
also visited by lightning and completely
wiped out. The loss will not prove very
extensive.
At Caledonia four buildings were
struck at different times, and each was
destroyed.
At Eiburst a big barn was struck and
totally destroyed. The people had hard
work to save the school house, situated
near by.
Rockford came in for its share of the
flames and in that town three fires were
caused by lightning.
At Bellvioere, a physician's stable was
struck and consumed together with two
horses.
Huntley suffered the loss of three
buildings, one of which was a stable. la
the latter instance four horses were
cremated .
At Herbert two buildings were burned.
The Northwestern railway track for a

PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION.
Proceedings of the Convention at Aahe
Tille Will Boycott Manufacturers Who
Furnislt Physicians '.With Their Prep
arations. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Asheville, N. C, September 8. The
American Pharmaceutical Association
to-day voted to boycott manufacturers
who furnish physicians with their manu
factured products for use in dispensing
prescriptions. This was done for the
purpose of putting a stop to what the
druggists look on with alarm as an en
croachment on their own business. It is
claimed by them that year by year the
doctors are getting more and more into
the habit of filling their own prescrip
tions, and dispensing drugs from their
own offices, greatly to the detriment
of the prescription business of drug
stores. The resolution authorizing the
bovcott was offered by Prof. Whitney,
of Boston. It was adopted without a
dissenting voice.
The Association also tcok action with
reference to the recognition of the pro
fession ol Pharmacy by the Army and
Navy of the United States. The phar
macists of each branch of the service
are paid but $60 a month, and have no
official rank.
A resolution was adopted to-day pro
viding for the appointment of a commit
tee from each State in the Union whose
business it shall be to interest the drug
gists ol their State with a view of secur
ing the influence of all United States
Senators and Representatives towards
the passage of a law giving the pharma
cists a rank and increasing their pay to
that of the assistant surgeon. The con
vention then adjourned.
CHINA AND JAPAN.
Hostile Armies Confronting Each Other,
but Separated by an Impassable River
Europeans Entering the Chinese Naval
Servioe.
Bv Cable to the Morning Star.
London, September 8. A dispatch
to the Times, from Shanghai, says that
the opposing armies of China and Japan
are now separated only by the Irajin
river, which is at present impassable,
owing to the annual floods, but normally
an easily fordable stream.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says that
a large number of Europeans employed
in the Chinese Customs Department are
resigning their posts in order to join the
naval service. The motive inspir
ing this change is the fact that
the Government is offering 150 taels.
(equivalent to about $160) a month and
a guarantee of 5,000 taels in the event of
death in the service. This rate of wages
and insurance guaranteed by Sir Robert
Hart, the head of the customs depart
ment. The most of the customs em
ployes who are transferring their services
in the respect described were formerly
gunners and torpedo experts in the
British navy.
London, Sept. 8. In official circles
here it Is not believed that the armistice
negotiations said to be in progress be
tween China and Japan, refer to any
thing more than negotiations exchanged
between the generals commanding the
opposing armies in Corea.
COXEY'S CIRCUS.
It Will Be the Greatest Show on Earth.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Massillon, O., September 8. -Mr.
Coxey was very busy opening his cam
paign to-day, and trying to find twenty
farmers willing to donate twenty horses
to help haul his circus over the roads.
He has personally supplied twenty
horses. Contribution boxes face the
crowds as they enter the tent,
and venders of "reform" literature,
peanuts and lemonade are aboard.
The failure of the general to
have a parade was probably due to the
immense amount of fun that has been
poked at him. He said to-day, "I'm not
running a circus yet." An inspection of
the grounds, however, suggests that he
is over modest, and has the "greatest
show on earth." Browne's art beeijars
all description. Speaking began at 2
o'clock this afternoon and with an inter
mission for supper, will continue untii
late to-night.

who represents the Sioux City Athletic
Club met W. A. Brady, Corbett 's mana
ger, and Thomas O'Rourke, well known
as Dixon's manager and who represents
Jackson in this city, in his room at the
hotel St. Dennis. There was no waste
of time. Mr. Lloyd immediately drew
from his pocket three typewritten copies
of the agrerment for a fight. "I come,"
he said, "as the representative of the
Sioux City Club to arrange the contest.
There are what we offer you." Then he
proceeded to read:' "These articles of
agreement are to govern a close contest
for the championship of the world be
tween James J. Corbett, of America,
and Peter Jackson, of Australia. The
articles ot agreement provide that the
contest shall take place under the au
spices of the Sioux City Athletic Club

or before March 1st.
The contest will be governed by the
Marquis ot Queensbury rules, the gloves
shall weigh five ounces, and the other
details shall be left to the decision of
the club.
The Sioux City Athletic Club agrees
to pay to the winner $25,000 in cash,
said amount to be placed in the hands of
the referee, who is to be appointed
by the club and satisfactory to the prin
cipals, twenty-four hours before the con
test. The club also agrees to deposit $5,000
as a guarantee that each man shall re
ceive $2,500 for his training expenses m
case the contest shall be prevented by
any unforseen occurrence other than the
failure of the principals to appear after
signing the articles.
The club requires from each of the
contestants a deposit of $5,000 to be
placed in the Northwestern bank of
Sioux City or in the hands of a person
satisfactory to the club, to guarantee
their appearance at the time appointed
by the club, said amount to be posted on
the signing of the articles. The $10,000
now deposited in Chicago shall go as
stipulated in the former articles on the
result of the contest.
"That suits me," cried Brady, and he
signed Corbett's name and then his own,
O'Rourke said he thought Jackson
would be satisfied, but that he was not
empowered to sign for him.
It was arranged that Mr. Lloyed should
present the agreement to Jackson in
Chicago when he went home.
The fight, if arranged will take place
in open air, or on a barge on the Mis
souri river, near Sioux City and between
Nebraska and Iowa. It has never been

A decision of the Supreme Court ot

GOV. 6AR INTERVIEWED
ON tft'E LYNCHING OF RAPE FIENDS
Will Stand by the Law Against Lynching
Sugsesta as a Remedy Confinement at
Onoe of Accused Persona In the Peniten
tiary andaa Speedy a Trial as Possible.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Raleigh, September 8. Gov. Elias
Carr has been not a little vexed lately
by what he deems to be the unjust criti
cisms of many Northern papers upon his
course in the case of Bob Madkins, col
ored, who was lately in danger of being
lynched tor the rape of a little white girl
in Alamance.
The Governor called a special session
of the court because he says he is on the
side of law, and asks, if the papers don t
like it, what would they have done ?
The Governor proposes a remedy for
lynching in the South.
The following is the interview, which
was rather in the shape of a conversation
with Mr. W. E. Christian, a well-known
newspaper man, than an interview, as
the Governor is averse to interviews.
"It was on July 9th that the court was
called, was it not Governor ?" "The
court was called on the 4th of June to be
held on the 9th of July."
"Then the negro was captured on the
4th of June ?-' "Yes, sir."
"Then it was a month or over before
they tried him?" "Yes sir; more than a
month."
"Then he was hanged two weeks after
court adjourned." "One month after
his sentence."
"Did he apply for pardon at all?" "No;
no application for pardon."
"Ot course you have read all the com
ments in Northern papers on lynching
In the South. Joel Chandler Harris
wrote quite a paper in the Forum, about
it." "I did not read it. but I heard it
spoken ot."
"What do you think will be the ulti
mate remedy that we will have to have
in the South as to rape between the
races?" "1 think we are having the
remedy row, sir, in having as speedy a
trial as possible. And to remedy the
matter as much as possible, I would sug
gest that it would be advisable to con
fine these rapists in the Penitentiary at
once as soon as they are arrested until
a court of justice can be held and give
them a fair trial. That would put them
beyond the reach of lynchers."
"Yet by what law can they get at
that." "Well, we can have some special
legislation, but the law would provide
for that. I would not hesitate at all to
permit the rapists to be taken at once to
the Penitentiary, but I would suggest
that as a remedy that some legal action
be taken in regard to this, by the next
Legislature
' Ycu believe that would do away
hereafter with all lynching?' "No sir, I
don't. I can't say that, but I say it
would be a step in the right direction to
protect the man's life from lynching if
he is put in the Penitentiary right away,
or as soon as possible, and given as
speedy a trial as possible. It is exceed
ingly fortunate for the white women of
our country that those men that are
rapists do not read the Northern papers,
or they would mistake the conduct of
the papers as endorsing their course.
"There are two classes of white people
in the South, Governor, it seems to me.
Bishop Haygood took a stand against
lynching out and out, and Joel Chandler
Harris said that there were a class of
people in the South who were in favor
of it. I suppose you would stand by the
law out and out against lynching ? "I
would stand by the law out and out
against lynching, I want to do nothing
that will encourage lynching in any shape
or form
"You knew very well that this man
would be lynched unless some heroic
remedy was offered ?" "I felt that way;
I can say to you that some time ago a
pardon was asked for a colored boy, who,
it is alleged, had raped a colored girl of
six years. There was an application lor
pardon of this man made by some of the
very best white people in that county
including a member of the board of
health, the county commissioners, etc.,
a number of the court officials, stating
that the man had had his trial; that
the girl it she bad been old
enough would have given her consent
but as she was too young it was not
valid in law, and hence the man was
found guilty. I declined to commute
his sentence to imprisonment for life,
until his own colored people in addition
to the white people in a very strenuous
and strong petition asked me to do so
"How old did you say the boy was ?'
"Well, he was a mere boy, of a very weak
mind. The Judge who tried the case
stated that the man was of a weak mind
and was not cognizant of the crime that
he bad committed.
"Well, the punishments that are in
Aided do not seem to lessen the crime
of rape?
"Well, you cannot tell how many more
there would be but for this punishment.
"Now as to the burning in Paris,
Texas, you are opposed to all such
things?" "Yes, I stand by the law. The
law is adequate.
"Well, in this case the law would not
have been adequate if it had not been
provided lor by your special provision.''
"I will do everything that I can to pre
vent lynching, and at the same time I
shall throw no impediment in the way of
bringing criminals to justice at the ear
liest moment."
"Those Northern papers do not seem to
pass very severe comments on lynchings
when they take place up there. They
did not have much to say about
those Northern lynchings, therefore it
seems that it is really more in sectional
spirit on the part of those editors, than
from any object they have to bring the
criminals to quick justice?"
"Yes sir, and I would like to say in
connection with bringing these men to
the Penitentiary, that I shall recommend
to the next Legislature that executions
take place inside the Penitentiary, in
order that the criminal class there may
be more impressed than others."
"You say that you are going to recom
mend that ?" "I am going to recom
mend that to the next Legislature,"
"And will you also recommend that
special legislation be made to put these
people into the Penitentiary to prevent
lynching. ' "Yes to prevent lynching,
and I will also urge that there be as
speedy a trial as possible."
"What is your feeling, Governor,
about the criticism of these Northern
papers?" "I think it is very unjust, and
I consider it exceedingly fortunate for
the white women of the country that
those who are guilty of the crime of
rape don't read the Northern papers, or
there would be more rapes committed;
and if they condemned the fact of rap
ing more and lynching less, it would
have a better effect."
"And at the same time you do not
want to condone lynching at all." "Not
at all "
Mr. Christian then read an article from
a Northern paper criticising Gov. Carr's
conduct in regard to lynching, and in
ferring that he upheld such action.
Gov. Carr said that he did all in his
power to suppress them, and if the papers
would suggest a remedy instead of criti
cising his course, it would be better.
"May I ask you about politics. Gov
ernor?" "I surmise not. Politics are
in a ticklish state here just now, and
any word would be imprudent from me
except to urge all to stand by the old
Democratic party with might and main."

FBTUHfi OF THE SOUTH.
The Great Crops-Outlook for Manufactur
ingGeneral Prospects Brighter Than
Those of Any Other Section.
The New York Sun has a long article
devoted mainly to the new Southern
Railway Company, but with the annexed
paragraphs ot more general interest :
From all parts of the South come ex
cellent reports of material progress. The
Southern corn crop is greater than ever
before; the cotton crop is large and of
fine quality. In Texas the latter is the
largest that the State has raised, and the
prospect oi the market is assured. While
cotton is now cheap it will not do to over
look the fact that six cents a pound for
cotton nowadays is a very different thing
from what it was a lew years ago. Peo
ple have not yet learned to take into
consideration the fact that the mod
ern bye-products of cotton are worth
nearly two cents a pound more, so that
the farmer's six cents is really equivalent
to eignt cents.
The corn crop is so large that the
South will this year have a surplus in
stead of being compelled to import corn
for her own consumption. The outlook
for her manufacturing industries, and
her cotton mills in particular, is better
than ever before in her history, and in
every substantial and material element
of business the general condition of the
South is most encouraging and satis
factory. Taken for all in all, the business pros
pects of the South are, at the present
moment, brighter than those of any
other part of the country. It depends
upon the people of the South themselves
if these conditions are to continue.
