VOL. VI. NO. 1.876, CO-EDUCATION To Be Established in the State University, $20,000 FOR A NORMAL School—The Law of Libel to Be Amended—Weights and Measures. Special to thc Tbibcnk. Atlanta, Nov. 7.—lt was another quiet day at the capitol. The senate was not in session at all, and the house devoted its time to local bills principally. The conut of the clerk showed a quorum present at all times, but it looked ex tremely doubtful. However, there is no going behind the returns, and nobody de sires to, of course. The principal feature of the day’s ses sion, from a newspaper standpoint, was the bill introduced by Mr. Boifeuillet re garding actions for libel. It is a bill of special interest to newspaper men. The bill provides that the burden of proof cf malice in a publication must be made by the plaintiff. It also requires three days notice t> be given by the plaintiff, within which a correction may be given. If the c irrection is made, the plaintiff can only recover actual damage. The bill is a good one, as it is in the interest of sim ple justice. Another important new bill was that of Mr. Fleming, of Richmond, appropriat ing $20,009 to the normal school at Ath ens. He introduced another bill on the Bams subject providing for a normal branch of the State University, and for co-education, for whites in the same. Mr. Cumming, of Richmond, intro duced two bills, one providing for the re newal of charters, heretofore granted to binkin/, insurance and other corpora tions of aim lar character, and the other granting corporate powers to the same sorts of institutions. The general judiciary committee recommended that the city court utill of Richmond county do pass. Among the gensruLbills up was one of Mr. Boynton, of Calhoun, repealing the sections of the code pro viding for a system of standard weights and measures, and also that section which provides that a grocer, who has not regular registered weights and meas ures, at provided by this act, shall not be able to collect the debts due him. The repeal of thia is urged as being a dead letter. Mr. Bryan, of Floyd, made a speech in f .vor of the repeal, and the bill was recommitted. Among the bills passed was one by Mr. King, of Fulton, providing that ticket agents, selling accident insurance policies shall not be required to pay Pcense. The bi’l of Mr. Howard, of Baldwin, changing the name of the state lunatic asylum, was tabled. There was strong opposition to this bill, which seems to be simp'y a sentimental measure. Mr. Morton, of Ciark, introduced a bill providing that six months residence in Clark county shall bi required to qualify v iters, instead of twelve months, as at present. Owing to the author’s absence Mr Allen’s bill to enforce the rules of the railway commission was temporarily abled. TIMES AT TECUMSEJ4, Renewed Activity ir. OreMlcs—A Flagman Harc—Cotton Moving.

Review of the Situation For the Week Just Expired. Chattanooga, Nov. 7.—The Trades man, in its review of the industrial situ ation in the south for the week ending Nov. 6, reports that the settlement of the financial question is producing good results. Renewed confidence is shown by inquiries received from prospective investors, by an increase in the demand for machinery, by arrangements being made to start up plants that have not been working, and by an enlarged vol ume of mercantile business. No material advance can be reported in the iron and coal market which has practically touched bottom. The Lou isiana sugar crop is now coming into market, and is one of the largest for many years, and the same is true of the rice crop. A slight advance in the price of cotton has brought out an increased supply, but many planters who can af ford to do so are holding for yet higher prices.

Baltimore, Nov. 7.—The Holy Rosary Polish Catholic church was the scene of riot at high mass. The priest had given notice that admission to the church would be had only by x:ard, and had given tickets to the pewholders who paid their pew rents to him and recognized his authority. This closed the doors against the dissatisfied element who re fused to admit his right. Father Barabasz looked for trouble and had asked for a squad of policemen. These occupied the doors, and as those who were refused admission increased in numbers they became demonstrative. Finally they tried to break through the police ranks. The women were by far the more demonstrative and the leader slapped the police sergeant in the face. Her prompt arrest, followed by that of 15 others put a quietus to the row.

Mr. Maxwell is Immensely Pleased With His Year’s Work—Won’t Resign, Washington, Nov. 7.—Between $20,- 000,000 and $30,000,000 of United States bonds are falling due or will soon be due, and it has been suggested that these be paid by issuing treasury warrants. Thtjse warrants would have to be authorized by congress, and, although called warrants, would simply be another name for greenbacks. By the issue of these war rants more money would be put in cir culation and at the same time the condi tion of the treasury would be relieved to~ a considerable extent. I “If we can change our non-intefest ob ligation for an interest bearing obliga tion,” said a member of the ways and means committee, “it would be, a much better thing for the government.' It will not make any difference whether we is sue these warrants or issue bonds, so far as redemption is concerned, as both would have to be redeemed in gold, ex cept that the warrants would bear no in terest and the bonds would. The circu lation would be increased by the govern ment direct instead of through the na tional banks.” This member of the committee said that either the ways and means commit tee or the banking committee could take action in the matter, though it was prob able that, as it related to raising reve nue, it would come beforb the former. Another subject which has been dis cussed by some incmbeip of the bankers’ committee is the proposition to author ize the issue of a certain amount of greenbacks to supply the deficiency in revenues winch the tariff reduction will make, at least until it is ascertained just is needed and . • K be no age and that there government could supply the deficiency' without increasing the burdens of the people, “I have no doubt,” said lie, “that all the seignorage will be coined, thus giv ing the treasury about 54,003,090 addi tional mon. Mr. Maxwell’s Fine Showings Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell, in his first annual jroport, says that during the last fiscal year 1,181 per sons were arrested for violations of the postal laws. Os these, only 451 were postoffice officials—a small number when compared with the total number of postal officials, which on June 30 last was upward of 185,000. Os the cases de termined, 380 resulted in conviction and 54 in acquittal. Fifty-four accused per sons were discharged on preliminary hearing; proceedings were dismissed or prosecutions abandoned in 23 cases, and in 21 grand juries refused or failed to in dict. Seven of those arrested escaped from custody, five forfeited their bail and one died while awaiting tri; 1. There were 228 burglaries of post offices, against 203 in the preceding year. This crime is growing. While the" en tire number of arrests fell off 225 from the total number made in the preceding year, the number of burglars arrested increased 25. During the year there were 5,546 com plaints of losses in the mails, of which one-half were of the rifling of letters or packages, and the other half of the ab solute loss of letter or package and con tents. In 2,557 cases no loss was found to have occurred, and in 1,846 cases tne complaints were well 'founded. In a large number of cases the inTSSing arti qlatt-were traced and found. In 35 com plaints it was found that the articles claimed to have been sent had not been mailed at all. In speaking of the cases of rifling, the report says: “Here are found some cur io us fea tures. Six hundred and twenty-one of these cases were investigated, and in 547 of them the claim of rifling was found to have been falsely made; either the contents, if enclosed, were received, or else the inclosures were admitted to have been left out of the article registered. In 74 cases the rifling was found not to have taken place while the article regis tered was in the custody of the postal service. Some persons take this means to avoid the payment of honest debts. “One case is recorded of a woman who undertook to pay a debt in this way to a neighbor—another woman living in the same town and in the same street with herself, and directly across the street. She walked several blocks to the postof fice and personally registered a letter to her creditor, made no inclosure and then calmly declared that as far as she was concerned the debt was paid, and the creditor must look to the jiostoflice de partment for reimbursement.” A careful investigation of the com plaints against the department shows that during the past year when 14,533,- , 376 registered letters and packages were handleu the loss was but 929, or an aver age of one to every 15,644. Mr; Maxwell is esjiecially proud of the 1 record of the department, because dur ' ing four months of the time covered by the report he was engaged in removing old nnstmflßters and annointinsr new ones at tne rate or too a day. he thinks the general efficiency shown by the re port is a strong evidence of the charac ter of the new appointees. Lochren Has Not Resigned. Washington, Nov. 7.—The report has teen widely circulated that Commission er of Pensions Lochren has resigned.
