J., ept. 23. A sewing machine company here has just com pleted a sewing machme for the em press of Japan. The machine was made on the order of President Roose, velt and is a present to the empress by the president in recognition of cour tesies extended to his daughter. Miss Alice, during her recent visit to Japan. The selection of a sewing machine for a present, it is declared, came from a conversation Miss Roosevelt had with the empress. The latter expressed a desire to have an American sewing machine, and Miss Alice communi cated the wish; to her father, who im mediately gave the order. The ma chine is probably the most costly one that has ever been turned out of any factory. Every part of it where there is no friction is gold-plated with Jap anese filigree work, bn one end of" the machine, attached to the gold-plated Iron- work, are the American and Jap anese coats of arms. Underneath the coat of arms of the two countries in Japanese characters is the date, and then follows the reason for the presen tation. From the time that the machine was siaTi until it received its final test in the operating room the umost care 1 and secrecy has been maintained nn.i none but the most trusted employes j were allowed to do anv part of the ! work upon it. It will be placed in a ' ITialiAtriTiif snV.ni4- tlA4 : 1 : 1 T - J & J "'-""cl imam wim euk. tmu plush in Japanese colors. It is said that it will be sent to Japan by a spe cial messenger. LYNCHING IN ARKANSAS Hanging of a Negro Brute Was "Quiet and Orderly.' Conway, Ark., Sept. 23. Last night at 10 o'clock a mob assembled in the court-house yard and demanded from Jailer Johnson the negro, Frank Brown, accused of assaulting Mrs. Lawrence and her three-year-old child and the murder of 'Ivor seven-year-old Elie. Johnson, seeing the uselessness of resistance, surrendered the prisoner, who was taken to the scene of the crime and hanged from a tree in the yard. So quiet and orderly was the mob that the people living within a few hundred yards of the place where he was hanged knew nothing of it. The negro is said -to have made a confes sion before being executed. Mrs. Lawrence, who has been uncon scious since the night of the crime eight days ago, recovered conscious ness about 5 o'clock and said that Frank Brown was the negro who .com mitted the assault and the murder.

CUT UP CORPSE Faint Clues in Murder Mys tery of the Sea WHAT AUTOPSY SHOWS Criminal Operation Had Been Per formed Resulting in Death Few Hair Found Indicate Woman Was a Blonde Had Been Opera ted on Recently for Appendicitis Boston, Sept. 23. The police of Bos ton and "Wintlirop are app3.rent.ly as much in the dark as ever today con cerning the identity of the girl whose body was found yesterday afternoon. As admitted by a prominent police of ficer this morning the first step in ap prehending the person or persons re sponsible for the death of the young woman, is in securing an identification of th2 bodv. An important clue is believed to bo in the hands of the police on which they are working today. What this clue is they refuse to say. One step in the identification is the announce ment that the young woman was a pronounced blonde. Several light col- ored hairs were found in the suit case by the officers. Two were found stuck to a Piece of white oilcloth in wbicn the corpse was wrapped. They were carefully rolled upjn a piece of paper and given to Medical Examiner Har ris, who has. charge of the other tangi ble pieces of evidence. The hair Is that of a blonde and tallies with the fair tint ot her skin. The autopsj' r.howed that death was due to a recent criminal operation, and ;that the instrument used punc tured one of the victim's organs. Death resulted ' from blood poisoning some time after the pperationperhaps sev eral days. The autopsy also.showel that . after the operation the operator evidently made a. post-mortem exami nation to determine what had actually causad death. Another important .deduction made by Dr. Harris and the other medical experts was that the girl had not been dead more than four hours before the waves tossed her mutiliated re mains within view of the Winthrop Yacht Club house. They also figure that she could not have been in the Avater more than three hours, leaving but an hour to accomplish the work of dismembering the body and carrying it to a place where it could be dumped overboard without detection. Another fact that seems to puzzle the police and the medical men is the wound showing that the victim had been recently operated upon for ap pendicitis, and it was reported after the autopsy that the stitches were still in the healed incision. From Its con dition it was calculated that this op eration had been performed within the last three months at the most. A new clue in the mystery developed today and a, physician, formerly a l-esident and practitioner of the north end, Is being searched f or by several detec tives. , . Officers throughout the city today began a house-to-house canvass for missing women, but up to this evening only two cases had been discovered, and both of these were already on the police blotters. Two men were found this morning who claim to have seen a man place a dark-green suit-case in a row-boat at East Boston Thursday afternoon, two hours and a half before the suit-case and its contents were found. ' This morning a finely dressed woman went to the headquarters of the state police and said that on Thursday, the day the body was found, she had seen in an elevated train a man carrying a bag answering one of the published de scriptions. The bag was shown to her, but she was unable to identify it. Corrupt Texas Officials Austin, Tex., Sept. 23. State Land Commissioner F. F. Terrei gave to tlie public today a long statement in which he boldly charges official misconduct in the state treasury department. He goes into details of the charge and concludes as follows: "I have 'heard that this matter would hurt the Democratic party In Texas. I hardly see the force of .. the sugges tion. If those expressing that view are so politically warped as to wish the cover kept on official crookedness I doubt if they have lately been' near Democracy's sanctuary."

The American liner St. Paul, in today from Southamp ton and Cherbourg, when off the tail of the Bantas about 10 o'clock Wednes day night encountered a " number of icebergs. One berg was discovered on the starboard beam at least? 200 f eec tall. It seemed to be twice as long as the liner. . To the port, -not more than half a ship's length away, was another large berg that was big and solid enough to do damage to any ship striking it Captain Passow headed south, of the ice field that, very ' aparently, was ahead of him, and ' presently brought the ship into clear water.

C, Sept. ".--At 'Bates burg, Lexington county, today, was held the most exciting -meeting In South Carolina sine tRe1 Virrf ng days of 1892-93. Senator B. R. Tillman and Col. John Bell Towell, member of the state board of dispensary directors, clashed in debate, ..and. for several minutes the' scene m jthe opera house, which was crowded .to overn owing:. was one of indescribable confusion. "According to a publio advertisement for liquor," said Senator Tillman, "no bids for less than $1.50 will be con sidered." Advancing from his seat In the au dience, Col. Towell, in a voice filled with excitement and emotion, said: "Senator Tillman, that is false. You know that it is not so." Great applause met this statement. mingled with shouts for Tillman and Towell. During the cheering and con fusion Tillman turned to those seated on the platform and said: 'WTiere is the mayor? Where Is the mayor?" Quickly facing the audience, which was upon its feet and aparently strug gling toward the stage, he stood as if a marble statuft. Cries of "sit down," "be quiet," "go back to your seats," were uttered by those on the platform and some of the auditors. ' Hardly had quiet been restored when the aged Rev. Dr. D. M, : Padgett of Saluda arose and interroogated Till man as to his attacks upon the preach ers, which resulted in another stormy scene, and the noise made it impost sible ' to record the warm .colloquy, which ensued. Senator Tillman bitter ly assailed the newrttvapers, naming the Charleston News, and Courier and the Columbia State in particular for their attacks upon him. "That hell-hound in Columbia who is editor of the State has told enough lies on me to build a railroad of cross ties to hell," declared former Senator John L. McLaurin, saying that fee con sidered it an insult to be invited to Feak with him. Young Man's Perfidy Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 23. Special Henry M.

Joseph's Empire ONE HOPE MINING Delegates Quit the Emperor's Pres- ence After a Dramatic Interview.' . Will Allow -None But Representa tives of Their Race to Intervene Between Them and the Throne Tnrto-.i.-Spnt 7 Th ft llur of the meeting today between Emperor Fran cis Joseph and the Hungarian leaders to bring about f. working arrangement renders the outlook most grave. It is true that there Is still one chance left, as is shown in this dispatch from the Laffan correspondent at "Vienna this evening: "The Hungarians, after a six min utes dramatic audience with the em peror, wrnt to Count Goluchowsky, the Austrian chancellor, and refused defi nitely and categorically his majesty's program. They declared they would speak only with Hungarians and would allow no one but a Hungarian to inter vene between them and the emperor. "After this refusal the Hungarians wished to leave Vienna, but Francis Kossuth, the Hungarian leader, re ceived by imperial courier a request to still remain with his colleagues,, as the emperor, after hearing their conversa tir with Count Goluchowsky, had tel egraphed that the Hungarian Count Bela Cizraky was coming to Vienna at once to confer with them in the posi tion of a royal representative." Thus it is possible that the emperor will be able to persuade tr Hungarian coalition to listen to 'reason though.it can hardly be said that this is probable at present. What hopes there are of effecting -a compromise with men of this st amp may be calculated from' Dr. j Eengield's proclamation three days ago j that there was but one solution of the i situation that the emperor should re nounce his dream as an absurdity. Dr. LengieM's, position in the matter of words of command is "shown even--4n Count Appony's newspaper, which yes terday admitted that even if the use of the words of , command was granted that they could not be used because there was not enough men who know how to govern them. Universal suffrage- in Hungary must have led to universal suffrage in Aus tria. Then what could have prevented the Grman empire from rushing to the rescue of her kinsman? Little on this subject has' appeared in the Ger man press for the simple reason that the crisis is regarded as too serious for public discussion. MADE LOSING FIGHT Final Decision for the Extradition of Greene and Gaynor Washington, Sept. 23. The depart ment of justice today received a dis patch from Donald McMaster, special counsel for the United States in the Greene-Gaynor cases, announcing that Judge Ouimet at Montreal had dis missed the petition in the defense- of Greene and Gaynor against extradi tion from Canada. It is believed at the department of justice that no fur ther legal steps are possible for the ac cused men. and that they will be forth with brought to this country for ttial. Benjamin E.

A.T was convicted on the saiiie charge, dismissed from the army and Imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth f o a term of years. - Greene and Gaynor were arrested in New York, but they resisted extradition to Georgia, ' and when a decision was rendered against them In f a commissioner's court they fled to Canada. Each forfeited bail toGeorge p. YT;i3on, both of this place. the amount of $40,000. Meajrjreii wcro taken to secure extradition, and there was someuhope of a favorable outcomS when the accused men fled from Mon treal to Quebec, thus changing the le ge! jurisdiction. In May, 1902, detec tives kidnapped them, and taking them aboard a fast tug, carried them to Montreal, where it wa3 'hoped meaure for extradition would- be jtucosssfu?. Then was an exciting chase on the river. Upon arrival in Montreal Judge LaFontalne committed the men to jail, but Judge Caro of Quebec granted a writ of habeas corpus and they were taken back to that place rand set at liberty. ; Since that time, however, two sepa- rate legal actions have been brought by Greene and Gaynor in Canada to prevent extradition. The first in Judge LaFontalne's court in Montreal, and he decided against th accued'men. The petition to Judge Ouimet, which is 2 believed to be the last resort of Greene and Gaynor, was dismissed to day. , The government is supposed to have lost more than $2,000,000 through the conspiracy with which Greene, Gay nor and Carter were charged.
