C., who were ar rested here charged with stealin j a pair of blankets from tho White House in Macon, have been released. The proprietor of the hotel came over _ and went through their baggage. The missing blankets were not there, and the hotel man, as was predicted by the . Columbus officers, found that he had acted just a little bit too hasty. He slipped ass bill into Keel’s hands and returned to Macon. Keel and his wife left at 3:55 p. in. for Searight, Ala. They are on their bridal journey, and it is a little discomforting and unpleas ant for them to be arrested and locked up so early in tho game. Sets Them Kight in Macon. Macon, Nov. 25. —The South Caro linians here took a deep interest in the case of young Keel and his bride, who were arrested at Columbus. They say he is of an excellent family.

They had no baggage when they came here except a basket, and were asked to pay their board in advance, which the groom did. The blankets were missed from their room soon after they left. It is not thought now that the Keels had anything to do with the dis appearance of the articles. KILLED BY CANNIBALS. Three Men Slain on the Islam! of Pentecost. One Wim Eaten.

THE WAR’S PROGRESS. Peixoto Only Asks “Hands Off” on tUc Part of Other Governments. BueNos Ayres via Galveston, Nov. 25.—The mail from Rio brings advices covering events from the 10th up to the 17th instant. On the 10th the insurgent vessels Tra jano and Aquidaban opened, fire and sent a shower of grape sweeping over the Lago Paco to the war arsenal. Many were killed aud wounded.

Dick Ktlwarilx Cures No More for Killing a Woman Than a Dug. Denison, Tex., Nov. 25.—The testi mony in the case of Dick Edwards, on trial at Sherman for tho murder of Mrs. Hattie G. Haynes, and supposed to have killed two other women in this city the same night, was of the most damaging character. He was identified by a scar on his foot as Edward Spears, a farm hand, despite the fact that lie has denied ever living in this state. Mrs. Annie Edwards tes tified that Edwards was at her house several times in the week of the murder and wanted her to go to Kansas City with him, and the witness consented. Edwards returned the next day and broke the engagement, saying that he had not succeeded in getting enough money from the safe of the Haynes house. The witness said: ‘•Yon killed Mrs. Haynes?’’ Defendant replied: “Yes. 1 did. I don’t care any more about killing a wo man than a dog.” The Howard Jury Can't Agree, Tenn., Nov. 25.—The jury in the Howard case are hung.

DUN & CO’S REPORT. Cotton Goods Sold Heavi'y at Satisfactory Prices Last Week—Market Good. New York, Nov. 25.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Consumption increases slowly and all branches of business are waiting for its growth. The railroad earnings for the month, thus far, are only 3.9 per cent less than those of last year, the decrease for the last week being made even small er in freight earnings. Trade waits for the revival of indus tries and the week’s returns respecting (.dustrial progress are rather conflict ing. There has been a heavy sale of cotton goods at very satisfactory pri •< s. and the market has decidedly strength ened in consequence. Though the pro duction in this branch, is still somwhat less than it was a year ago the market for goods at current prices is strong. In woolens there is a substantial in crease in tho demand, notwithstanding the fact that several mills, each having orders for 1,000 pieces or more, have closed, the orders not being so assorted as to give them profitable employment. But the sales of wool have been the largest since September, 1892, amount ing at three chief markets to 8.025,800 pounds against 4,813,500 for the same week last year, and while it stated that the many purchases are of a speculative character, there is evidence that large buying by active mills is prompted by increased orders. * In tho manufacture of boots and shoes the demand employs an increasing num ber of factories and the orders are innu merable, as usual for the season, though smaller in quantity. The shipments from Boston, according to The Shoa ami Leather Reporter, show a decrease of 1- per cent for tho week. A gradual ir. crease in the business is reported at at centers not wholly confined to orders lor immediate delivery. l*ig> Iron Rules Low. A new compact of the steel rail pro ducers, the Pennsylvania and the Mary land works having lieen leased to others in order to keep them idle, has checked the increase in the purchases of ore and coal and other materials. Mid the Pittsburg manufacturers are playing havoc with eastern markets, though the prices made in that region are so low that their continuance cannot be predict ed. There is an increase of the number of concerns in operation, but there does not appear to be much gain in the ac tual consumption of pig iron, and prices are as low as ever. Even in the Pittsburg district, where business is more active than elsewhere, the works are now fully employed and the state of manufacturer is shown by the return of the Connellsville coke furnaces, of which 6,385 are in operation and 11 ,- 000 are idle, the output being only 57,755 tons weekly. In minor metals, the sale of 5,000.000 pounds of copper at 9 3-1 cents by the Calumet an 1 Heel a, has been followed by higher prices, and lead and tin are both firmer. About Produce. The markets for produce have bean ir regular. Wheat advanced 1 cent, though the receipts have been 4,305.000 bushels against 5,503,005 last year, and the exports from Atlantic ports only 600,000 bushels, agri: -c 1 7ono.'l!) ] .rt year. The corn receipts are remarkably large, amounting :o B-,00 Mrtn, against t,300,000 last year, and tho price de clined 1 cent. There lias been a slight decline in oil, about. I 4 cents ip coffee and also in hogs, and $1.50 in pork. Cotton is a sixteenth higher, though con siderably depressed during the week with receipts of 242,000 against 223,000 lor the same week last year, and the be lief in a short crop does not outweigh the fact that stocks abroad and at home are 3,242,000 bales, about 40 per cent of a full year's consumption. Failures forth? week numbered 387 in the United States against 180 last year, and 31 in Canada against 29 last year. But the list this week includes some of more th in usual importance. For tbe pre,■<ding week the liabilities of the firm , faring amounted to only $3,- 52"i,“12, against 83.727,167 the week be fore: but th- weekly average is far be ydud wii.it it would lie in times of pros perity. ’»• Kinley at a Luve Feast. Boston. Nov. 25.—Twelve hundred re publicans s it down to a love feast in tho big Mechanics’ hall. The galleries about the hall were crowded with several thousand more, while the air was alive with enthusiasm. Governor McKinley, of Ohio, was on the speakers’ platform, and he looked like a man of victory. Tom Reed, of Maine, was also there and nt his side was Governor-Elect Green halge. of Massachusetts. Governor Fill ler, of Vermont, and Congressman Cous ins, of lowa, were in the midst of them. Collector Beard, the old republican war horse of Massachusetts, was present and by his side sat the venerable Hoar. A FremhUH Worth the Winning. Washington, Nov. 25.—The official speed of the United States cruiser Co lumbia was reported to the secretary of the navy bj- Rear Admiral Belknap, president of the trial board. They found the ship fnlly filled the contract require ments .in every respect. The official speed, is 22.8 knots, giving her builders a premium of $350,000, at the rate of |M),900 for each quarter knot oven the rWHiiyments of 81 Inoffik, INCOME TAXES WON. The Democrats Stand 8 Fop, 3 Against. HISTORY OF INCOME TAX. It is Peeved Secretary Car lisle Will, in His Report Ask For Low Rate Bonds. Washington, Nov, 25.—The fight for an income tax virtually has been won so far as the Democratic members of tho ways and means committee are con cerned. They stand today 8 to 3 in favor of the tax, and it is extremely unlikely that anything will occur to change this situation. The history of the income tax as levied and collected 30 years ago is full of valuable suggestions at this time and will serve an effective purpose when the debate opens in the ho tse. For the fiscal year ending July, 1863, tho levy was 3 per cent on all incomes of S6OO and not over SIO,OOO, and 5 per cent on all incomes of SIO,OOO and upward. The number of persons who paid under that law S2O or less was 63,085. The number paying over S2O and under SSO was 42,947. The number paying over SSO and un der SIOO, was $28,936. The number pay ing over SIOO and under SSOO was 54,778. The number paying over SSOO was 50,- 888.- The total number of persons who paid taxes on incomes in that year was a trifle over 240,000. These times are. of course, different from those. Wealth has greatly increase .I, aud the popula tion of the country has now more than doubled. It will not bo necessary to fix the minimum of assessable incomes as low as S6OO. The likelihood is that it will be fixed at $4,000. Even at that figure, and with a population estimated at 70,000,000, the tax will be paid by not more than 150,000 persons. This shows that the tax will fall where it is designed to fall, on the small minority whose wealth makes it just that they should be called upon to help pay the public burdens. No Graded Increase. The proposition to increase the per cent with the amount of the income will not lie adopted. It is considered that that might give a communistic color to the tax foreign to its real nature and to the design of the committee. The rate of the tax has ybt to be fixed. Those members of the committee who are urg ing an income tax are greatly encour aged by what the record shows and sug gests. The highest amount collected while the law was in force was $72,000,- 000 in 1866, and had the law been con tinued in force, even at two thirds of the rate then levied, the whole of the public debt would have been paid, the new navy built and the rivers and harbors improved by the money collected from that source alone. The chairman of the subcommittee re porting upon this question is Mr. Mc- Millin, of Tennessee, who has gone into it with characteristic courage and thor oughness, and whose speech on the sub ject in the house is certain to be notable. The opposition will be strong, with Mr. Cockran heading it, but the probability is that the tax will pass, and if it does, the president will be certain to sign the bill. The latest proposition about sugar is that a tax of half a cent a pound on all sugars, raw and refined, be levied. The trust is opposed to this; so are the Louis iana men. The question remains open, but if any tax at all is levied it is certain to be small. The weight of opinion is that the whiskey tax will be increased probably to sl.lO a gallon, and in the event of a low rate on sugar to $1.20. The mem bers of tho committee have spent several evenings at the treasury department in vestigating internal revenue statistics and are proceeding with great caution iu shaping that portion of the bill. Will Carlisle Want Bonds? The condition of the treasury is such that some senators here hold the ques tion of the finances to be a subject of paramount importance. They are look ing forward to Secretary Carlisle’s re port with the belief that he will ask for authority to seek gold in the European ' market with a low rate bond. That he considers this course wise is the con struction put by some upon his recent utterances in New York. It is also believed that Mr. Carlisle will ask for authority to coin the seigni orage of the silver bullion now in the treasury, which would amount to over $50,000.1)00, or probably enough to make good the threatened treasury deficit. But the coining facilities of the govern ment are sr.'-h that it is doubtful wheth er this silver could be coined into money in time to be immediately available, and what is needed, say those who dwell up- * on the condition oi the treasury, is im mediate relief. The proposition to coin the seiniorage if it be taken in o congress will meet with very stubborn opposition probably from both the ext. ■ ie gold men and the extreme silver men as well. The former claim that such a proceeding will weaken the security for the notes, and the latter would recognize in the move a desire to appear to recognize silver without giv ing substantial encouragement to silver mining. Many of them would also take advantage of any opjwrtunity to thwart the administration because of its general policy towards the white metal. II <r<l on ir<> B e. Washington.

Washington, Nov. 25.—The presi dent’s message is not half finished and he is denying himself to callers to work upoQ it. He does not come into his office i except on cabinet days, Mondays and | Fridays, and works late into night on tne m, ssu.ge. Heretofors, Prerilent Cleveland has usually allowed himself six weeks to work on his message. It is supposed that he has deferred work on it this year to allow time for some de velopmeat in the Hawaiian m itter. The time for congress to convene is so near at hand that no longer delay is pos sible. It is, therefore, thought probable that the Hawaiian matter will be treat ed later in a special message. Postmaster at Chicago. Washington, Nov. 25.—The president today appointed Washington Hesing postmaster at Chicago. A BRAVE STRUGGLE, Was Tliat of Miss Yeargin Who Was Drowned in New York. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 25.—The story of the life of Miss Mary Yeargin, who was drowned in Cayuga Lake, near Ithica, N. Y., Saturday, is one of wo man’s hope and ambition cut short. She was a self-made woman, whose strug gles for education in the face of adverse circumstances are deeply interesting. She was the daughter of a one-armed ex-Confederate soldier, who is now a farmer in Laurens county. He was un able to send her to college, but she was determined to obtain an education. Her father owned a gin and had been employing a colored man as the engi neer. Miss Yeargin asked him to let her run the engine and give her the salary given the colored man. He consented, but with doubts of her ability to fill the place. He was soon gratified to find that she was fully capable of acting as engi neer. She soon accumulated enough money to attend the Methodist college in the city, from which she was graduated. After teaching in the college for some time she went to Leesville, where she taught about a year. She wanted to go higher, however, and managed to gain the means to go to Cornell university to take a special course. Iloth Duelists Are Dead.

It allows all confederate soldiers over 50 years to peddle free of license all goods belonging to themselves, except whisky, sewing machines and lightning rods. Thp house of representatives has come to the aid of poor stricken Brunswick in a very substantial manner by passing resolution of Mr. Merschon, of Glynn, i to relieve Glynn county from taxes for 189 s, except business taxes. The senate resolution providing for an investigation of the depository system, and of how the money is distributed; of ' the school fund, and other matters con- j cerning the treasury, and whose duty it | is to report any recommendations they > may see fit, was unanimously adopted by the house. SainV Silver Wedding. Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 25. —Rev. Sam P. Jones and his bride of 25 years, celebrated their silver wedding Friday night.

Tbe law does n quire a man to pay his faxes bifore he registers and is therefore an improvement on tie present law. The 1890 amohdment of thepreseut law requires th. t all back taxes be piid and that the registrar examine the tax books for each person. This no ene man can possibly do. The amendment does not seek to dis franchise any one. (getting Control of Samoa.
