Pawtucket, R. 1., Jan. 3.—Ex-Minis- <■
ter Stevens talked about Hawaii at the
bauauet of the Garfield Republican '
THE ROME TRIBUNE
Cino, and ex-Congressman Horr de
nounced the Wilson bill. Mr. Stevens
said, among other things:
•‘When Cleveland’s emissary reached
the islands last March, there was no part
of the United States more peaceful, for
the monarchy was dead and official cor
ruption had been put an end to. This
same emissary bore letters of credence to
representative Americans, whom he sub
sequently stabbed in the back. On the
secret testimony of enemies, the respect
able members of the provisional govern
ment were condemned as criminals and
insulted with the promise that when the
grossly immoral Queen Liliuokalani was
restored to the throne she would pardon
them.
“Pardon such men as Chief-Justice
Jubb and Attorney-General Hatch, a
son of New Hampshire, and the super
ior, legally, and in every other respect,
of Secretary Gresham —pardon such rep
resentative men, whose private and offi
cial characters at no period In their past
lives ever had a blot upon them! With
sorrow and shame we look upon this sad
picture, to which we have been brought
by the present administration. In the
name, then, of our common ancestry, in
the name of freedom-loving races, in lie
half of all who love justice and fair
play, in behalf of Christian civilization
in the United States, let us do our duty
in endeavoring to put a stop to this ex
traordinary usurpation of power and
stamp out this outrage inflicted upon
our patriotic, devoted and imperilled
fellow-countrymen of the South Pa
cific.”
After O’Brien’s Bondsmen.
Chattanooga, Jan. 3.—The suit of
the Catholic Knights of America against
H. H. Clift, John Cumming, J. H.
Light, C. C. Howard and J. T. Williams,
the five local bondsmen of the default
ing treasurer, M. J. O’Brien, has been
taken up in the United States court.
The defense entered a motion to quash
three depositions of the plaintiffs, which
were irregularly secured from Cincin
nati witnesses. Judge Key overruled
the motion. A plea of accord was then
entered by the defense, stating that the
i supreme officers of the Catholic Knights

The Weather.
Fight in
Northen
has douche over the prop
osition to have the fight between Corbett
and Mitchell take place here.
The governor said that if there was
the slightest trace or shadow of a law
applying to prize fighting he would en
force it. He says he will not allow the
matter to go even as far as the governor
of Florida has done, but if there is
much more talk heard he will cause the
arrests of those taking part in the affair.
Persons who thought they could bring
off the fight have been confident for sev
eral days because the legislature refused
to pass a bill introduced forbidding
prize-fighting. It was thought this
meant that those who are opposed to the
affair taking place in the state were un
able to stop it.
According to Governor Northen and a
number of lawyers the reason the legis
lature refused to take any action was
that the law on the statute books was
considered sufficient. Some of those who
were interested in bringing the tight ad
mit their mistake.

A DETERMINED BAND.
Moonshinerm Organized, Raided Calhoun
and Got Their Stills.
f Calhoun, Ga., Jan. B.—One hundred
t masked men were in town Monday night.
. They came strictlv on business, accom
, plished it and departed. They met with
- no interference to speak of, and it is
1 lucky that they did not. for they were
• strong enough to overcome any ordinary
1 town force.
1 The visit grew out of a raid which
' deputy marshals made on the moon-
1 shiners, 16 miles from here. The depn
-1 ties left here Sunday night, took a long
3 ride in a hack over the rough mountain
3 roads and reached the neighborhood o.
r the stills, up among the picturesque
mountains. At the spot to which they
went were two stills, one with a capaci
ty of 100 gallons and the other a 50 gal
l' lon still.
!’ The officers hid among the brush until
e the workmen came in. Then they closed
o in on the workers and bagged three—
Sam Harwell, John Bean and another
s man, named Knox.
e , The officers destroyed 4.000 gallons of
t . beer and employed a wagon to haul th
- stills to Calhoun, which was done with
out molestation. A receipt was taken
from the depot agent. The stills were
placed in a car and the car sealed. Soon
the officers noticed strange men on the
e street corners and talking in subdued
tones. deputies feared that an at
p tempt was going to be made to take the
n prisoners from them. They deputized
li some citizens and got their men on the
> first train for Dalton, where they were
r convicted before Judge Hamilton and
released on bond, a bondsman having
gone with them.

n A New Prison for United StanHgHßH9|
Asked for by
a Atlanta, Jan. 3.—An important <Joc-~
>- ument, proceeding from the United
t States court for the northern district of
Georgia, has been transmitted to Wash
s ington city. The document relates to
T the establishment of a United States
. prison in Atlanta for the accommoda
-3 tion of federal prisoners in the southern
f territory.
j From the urgent manner in which the
> erection of a prison isj urged bv the
. grand jury—the fact that a general bill
> providing for the location of a prison in
. the south has already passed—and the
i further fact that Atlanta is the most
• convenient and available situation tor a
i prison in this section of the counir” it
> is highly probable that the petition will
be granted.
In addition to the plea of the grand
jury, addressed to the congress of the
United States, through the congressman
from this state, Colonel L. F. Living
ston, special petitions will be sent ly
Judge Newman, District Attorney
James, the clerks of the federal court,

internal revenue and the United States
marshal.
AN ELEPHANT AMUCK.
He Create, a Panic on the Streets of New
Orleans.
New Orleans, Jan. 3.—An elephant
belonging to the Nickle Plate circus
broke loose from its keeper and created
consternation and panic among pedes
trians in the vicinity of Royal and Conti
streets. The animal was wild with rage
and rushed at the crowd on the side
walk. The people scattered, and no one
was injured m the first onslaught.
The beast ran along the sidewalk until
he came to a spot where a horse stood
attach.-d to an ice wagon. The elephant
grasped the horse about the body with
his trunk and tossed him in the air. He
also broke several doors and created wild
excitement before the circus people final
ly captured him.

FOR A MEAL TICKET.
A Chicago Editor Takes a Turn on the
Street Gang*
Chicago, Jan. 3.—E :itorW. T. Stead
believes that experience is the proper
teacher. He wanted to know how it
felt to work on the streets for a meal,
so he tried it. He donned a cast off suit
of clothes. Tho trousers were frayed at
the bottom and the seat patched. The
coat was shabby and of cheap material,
and the cap was one of those which has.

task, Mr. Stead applied for work m the
street-cleaning brigade sent out daily by
the Central Relief association and got
it. He was one of many poor fellows
who were sent out along Wells street to
scrape the mud and filth into heaps to
be carted away.
Mr. Stead admits it was not pleasant
work. Besides, the wind was chilly and
his clothes were thin. But he worked
out his time to earn his meal ticket and
lie says he rather enjoyed it. for the ex
ertion sent the blood bounding diroutflx

The Expectant Bride Falls Dead at Hy.
men’s Altar.
Paterson, N. J., Jan. 3.—A sad scene
occurred at the parsonage of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, as Rev. W. H.
Robinson, the pastor of tho church, en
tered the drawing room of the parsonage
to perform a marriage ceremonv. The
bride and groom took their places, and
several friends stood back of them. Just
as the clergyman began the marriage
ceremony by joining the hands of the
bride and groom the bride sank to the
floor in a faint.
Kind hands raised her up and she was
lifted on the sofa, while water and other
restoratives were applied to bring j jr
back to consciousness. They all failed,
and finally a call was sent out for an
ambulance. Before it arrived the bnde
was dead. Her name was Mrs. Phoebe
Johnson, a widow, and the prospective
bridegroom was John Clever. Mrs.
Johnson was about 50 years of age.
Sullivan Wants to Fight Again.
New York, Jan. 3.—The Herald says j
that John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion, ■
said to Charles Johnston that he desired '
to challenge the winner of the Corbett-
Mitchell contest, and that he thought
that by good handling and conscientious
training on his part he would stand a
fair show. Johnston said: “If you will
guarantee to conscientiously train I will
back ycu for $20,000 in a match with
the winner.” Sullivan said if the match
was made he would get Phil Casey to
handle him, whom he says has no equal.
Will Protect the Workmen.
Key West, Fla., Jan. 3.—W. J. Seid
enberg, of Seidenberg & Co., has arrived
here from Havana, accompanied by 15 '
Spanish cigarmakers. Trouble was ex- !
pected from Cuban agitators, as they j
oppose Spanish workmen, but the better
element of Cubans and Americans aro
determined that they shall work unmo
lested. They were hint at the wharf by
a large number of citizens and escor

COST $75,000,000. '
Manchester Has Now Become
a Port of Entry.
AN ENGINEERING FEAT.
The Canal Is Eighteen Miles
Long—Manchester Open
to the World.
Manchester, Jan. 3.—The Manches
ter ship canal which has just been open
ed to general traffic, entitles Manchester
to recognition as a port of entry, and all
the benefits that accrue to such a port.
Manchester is at the center of the
great cotton manufacturing district of
England. It has with Salford, which
adjoins, a population of about 800,000.
There is hardly a community in any
part of the world with which it does not
have < orqjnercial relations.
The scheme for tidal navigation was,
although it had been discussed for 60
years preceding, elaborated in 1882 by
Mr. Hamilton Fulton. Tho canal is
about 18 miles long and cost $75,000,000.
It is a vast engineering feat.
i The Manchester canal will probably
| prove as valuable to Manchester as the
i North Sea canal has been to Amsterdam
■or the Cronetadt canal is to St. Peters-
I burg. It is a curious fact that Peter the
Great’s original plan when he founded
St. Petersburg was to make the new
capital a port for seagoing vessels by
means of a ship canal. Tho new Man
chester canal compares favorably with
other ship canals, except as regards
length.

left to be sent to the Ni cholas orphan
asylum. Later in the evening the cz; ■,
the guests at the banquet and the or
phans were all taken sick and an inves-
