VOL. VI. NO. 1.92 \
A NEW PARTY.
The American League Is the
Latest One Out.
T.V. POWDERLY IS LEADER.
The Birthplace of This New
Faction Was in Phila
delphia, Pa.
Hew York, Jan. 5.—A special to The
World from Philadelphia says:
The year 1891 has already seen the
birth of a political party. The new or
ganization is known as the American
league, and Wharton Barker is the
chairman of its executive committee.
Mr. Barker will be remembered as the
editor of the American, as a financier
and as the original Garfield man and
the original Harrison man. Associated
with Mr. Barker are Terence V. Pow
derly, lately general master workman
of the Knights of Labor; Henry Carey
Baird, a publisher; Charles S. Keyser,
a lawyer; James Campbell, Samuel Cav
anagh and Michael Breslin, manufac
turers, and Dr. Alexander Hurbert Phil
ip Leuf and others well known to Phila
delphians as labor agitators.
The manufacturers of New England
and the middle states are to be invited
to join the league and help pay its ex
penses, which are expected to be large.
Mr. Powderly and other labor leaders
are to stump the country, and the man
ufacturers who join the league are to
pay their salaries and meet all other ex
penses.
Like all other new political parties,
this youngest child of Mr. Barker's brain
is ambitions. The circular sent out by
the executive committee of 90 members,
who do not say they represent any per
sons other than themselves, urges the
prompt organization of local branches
of the league “so that candidates for
membership in the several state legisla
tures, the.senate and house of represen
tatives of the United States, and for
president and vice-president, shall know
what organized bodies of citizens de
mand.”
The executive committee publishes
the demands in the shape of a set of
resolutions setting forth the needs of the
country in the way of legislation.
In the first clause they ask for “legis
lation that will check and prevent the
aggression of concentrated capital; that
will provide means to discover dishonest
over-capitalization of corporations, and
enforce penalties against such over-capi
talization.”
They want a “true protective tariff”—
one that “will protect American labor
against underpaid and degraded Euro
pean and Asiatic labor, and secure to
American citizens the American mar
kets; extend American foreign com
merce by adequate subsidies to Ameri
can shipping; remove all protective du
ties from imported articles which do
mestic ‘trusts’ and combinations, crea
ted to control domestic production.”
The executive committee also demands
“legislation that will establish on a per
manent basis the unrestricted use of
both gold and silver as money of the
United States; that will admit to the
mutts of the United States, tor coinage,
silver bullion from Tfttaus <SF the United
States ot America upon payment by the
owner of a Seigniorage absorbing three
fourths of the difference between the
market (London) price and its value
when coined; and that will admit for
eign silver, only for coinage purposes, at
a seigniorage absorbing all of the differ
ence between the market (Loudon) price
and its value when coined.
External trade relations with coun
tries having different soils, climates and
products from this country “especially
when they use both gold and silver as
money, unrestricted in amount and
upon an agreed ratio, thereby estab
lishing an international trade league.”
Legislation prohibiting the ownership
of lands by aliens and the immigration
of subjects or citizens of foreign coun
tries, unless such immigrants intend to
become citizens of the United States,
and unless they can demonstrate that
they hava not been of the criminal or
pauper classes in the countries from
which they have emigrated, is also de
manded.
Louisville Will Have a Change.
Louisville, Jan. s.—For the first time
in 86 years the postoffice at Louisville
will be under control of a Democrat,
Charles P. Weaver, ex-assistant post
master, whose nomination has been sent
to tne senate. Mrs. Virginia C. Thomp
son daughter of Alexander Campbell,
the founder of the “Camphellite”
church, who held the office under both
Hayes and Garfield’s administration,
held over during Cleveland’s first ad
ministration. The strong Campbellite
church influence induced Hon. Albert
S. Willis, now Minister to Hawaii, then
congressman from this district, to en
dorse her for reappointment under
Cleveland. This endorsement cost Wil
lis his seat in congress.
HOWARD SENTENCED.
He Gets Nine Years and a Month and
81,200 Fine and Costs.
Jackson, Tenn., Jan. s.—The greater
portion of a day was consumed by the
defendant and his associate counsel in
arguing the motion for a new trial. The
defendant commenced speaking in the
afternoon soon after the opening of the
court and continued until Bp. m. The
attendance was large and considerable
interest was manifested. People were
standing on chairs and other available
furniture.
When the defendant resumed bis
speech the court addressed himself to
Howard in the following language:
I am constrained by all the considera
tions that influence judicial judgment to
state that 1 have not the slightest doubt as
to the verdict of the jury. Taking all this
evidence, I must say that I never saw such
convincing evidence arrayed before a jury.
Were lon a jury that had this case. ’ I
would not hesitate one instant. The proof
THE ROME TRIBUNE.
plainly snows uiai Loe uewuuiuu is guim
of carrying on a nefarious scheme. 1 will
not go into this vast record of evidence to
justify this judgment, as I might wound
the sensibilities of the witnesses. I don’t
propose to hold the defendant and his
counsel to admission made in their argu
ment, but they admit Ross, Moore and Le
ger to be frauds. I can’t see any differ
ence as to Howard’s business at Jackson,
only in the methods of details. Having
said that, I can’t say any more, and the
motion for a new trial is overruled.
The district attorney moved that the
sentence on the defendant be pronounced,
and after the court asked Howard the
formal question if he had any reason
why sentence should not be pronounced,
Judge Hammond gave liim a term of
nine years and one month with a fine of
$1,200 and costs of the trial added, fixing
the place of imprisonment in the Colum
bus, 0., prison.
The costs of the two trial will foot up
in the neighborhood of $20,000.

Milledgeville Will Float Bonds to Replace
the Old Capitol.
Milledgeville, Ga., Jan. s.—Never
before in the history of Milledgeville has
her people been so enthusiastic as the
rebuilding of the Middle Georgia Mili

the burning, knots of citizens could be
seen discussing ways and means, and
the one voice expressed was that the
college should be rebuilt. The trustees,
with the assistance of President J. C.
Woodward, have arranged ample quar
ters and the college has reopened.
The city council has ordered an elec
tion for the issue of bonds. The election
will be held next month and within
three months there will rise in the sacred
old walls a building which -will not only
be an honor to Milledgeville but to the
whole state. Barracks have been pro
vided for the cadets and on next Monday
an army officer, appointed by Secretary
Lamont, will arrive with equipments
and take charge of the cadets. Milledge
ville appreciates the sympathy ex
pressed for her sorrow throughout the
state.

Sedalia, Mo., Jan. 5., A second time
within three days Editor J. West Good
win has been beaten on the streets, this
time by Dr. H. H. Woods, proprietor of

KOMJSUA., SAIUuDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, l o « 4
THE FAIR GROUNDS.
Much Discontent Among the
Foreign Exhibitors.
sOMECHARGES PUBLISHED.
The Fault of the Matter Is
Charged Up to Govern
ment Officials.
Chicago, Jan. 5. —London Truth, in
saying that chaos prevails at the World’s
Fair grounds, is in the main correct. It
is uow over two months since the fair
closed, and exhibitors who were clam
oring for cars Get. 31 are still waiting.
The delays, disappointments and
troubles are due to the intricate red tape
systems enforced by the customs author
ities and to the railroads. The custom
house department is divided into bu
reaus, aud exhibitors must take their
turns _in passing through and around
them. The customs force was not
half large enough to handle the busi
ness.
Foreigners could not understand the
red tape, and when they thought they
were almost through, mistakes would
be found in their invoices and they
would have to begin all over again.
The greatest delay to exhibitors has
been caused by the government’s failure
to provide enough inspectors to check
up exhibits in bond. Many had to wait
six and eight weeks. The railroads
could not be relied upon, and as all the
exhibitors made requests for their pack
ing cases at the same time it was months
before many received them.
It is true that the Columbian Guard
has vanished, but its place is taken by
South Park policemen. The buildings
are still under guard.
Director General Davis says all exhib
its will be out by Feb. 1. The South
Park commissioners have possession of
Jackson Park, and have accepted the
buildings and the $200,000 offered by
the Columbian Exposition company to
remove the structures.
When President Higginbotham read
what Truth said, he exclaimed irritably:
“There isn’t a word of truth in that
whole thing, not a word, sir, not a word,
It takes an Englishman to kick, anyway.
They say we are slow in making ship
ments, do they? Well, that is not our
fault, but the fault of the exhibitors
themselves. Here is an illustration.
Down at the grounds there are 550 cars
of goods of the German exhibit. Why
don't they ship them? The cars are
there, the goods are packed, and the
railroads readj’ and willing to haul them
to the seaboard, But the Germans are
not ready. It takes figuring to dispose
of a matter of this kind. In the first
place all the cars must arrive at the
same time at the Eastern port. There
must be a sl»p in waiting there, and it
must be the right kind ot a vessel for
receiving the goods and also for their
careful delivery in Germany.”
"How about the complaints that.pur
chasers are not receiving their goods?”
was asked. _ , -
“We have received complaints of that
kind. As far as that is concerned, how
ever, the local corporation is in nowise
legally responsible for the safe delivery
of purchased goods. Those who bought
did so at their peril. From a standpoint
ot courtesy, we have given the matter
attention. The trouble lies between the
exhibitor and the custom house authori
ties. If an exhibitor sells one or two
articles from a box he must pay tne duty
on the entire contents. The result has
been that the exhibitors have made great
efforts to dispose of unsold goods, as the
duty had to be paid anyhow. This, of
,
chased goods, but all such n'&mplaints
will be righted in time, if they haxitiiot
been already.”

ll<«re la What Truth Says.
London, Jan. s.—Truth publishes an
article declaring that chaos prevails in
the management, or ex-management of
the Chicago Columbian exposition, and
that unless some superior authority
comes to the rescue the prospects of any
British exhibitor getting his goods back
safely are extremely remote. Forward
ing agents say that it was fully three
weeks after the closing of the exposition
before they got possession of packing
cases for goocts to be sent back to Eng
land. It is reported that the Columbian
guards were withdrawn Jan. 1, leaving
the buildings free to looters.
LIVE LY'TnTHE HOUSE.
Mr. Boutelle and the Speaker Do Not See
Things Alike.
Washington, Jan. s.—There being no
session of the senate, all public interest
in congress was transferred to the popu
lar branch and there was a large atten
dance in the galleries when the house
met.
No sooner had the journal been read
than Mr. Boutelle was on his feet put
ting questions to the speaker as to what
had become of his privileged resolution
in relation to Hawaii.
Speaker Crisp’s reply was not satisfac
tory to Mr. Boutelle, who continued to
press his point, and was finally ignored
by the speaker, who recognized Mr.
Catchings to present a report from the
committee on rules. The report was
read.
It provides for sessions beginning at 11
o’clock; that immediately alter the call
of committees each day the house shall
go into committee of the whole to con
sider the tariff bill; that general debate
shall close Jan. 10; that the bill
shall then be open to ameudent, and the
previous question on the bill and amend
ments shall be ordered at noon Jan. 25.
Provision is made for night sessions and
punting remarks.
When the order was read, Mr. Bur
rows, member of the committee on rules,
raised the question of consideration, but
the speaker decided that a question of
consideration could not be raised against
the report of the committee on rules.
Mr. Boutelle said he would anneal from Z
iuai aecision, put tne speaker aecitnea
peremptorily to entertain the appeal.
Mr. Burrows, however, proceeded to
argue that, as the matter had not been
specially referred to the committee on
rules, that the committee was not au
thorized to report a code of rules for the
house. That point was overruled by the
speaker, on precedents heretolore estab
lished.
That matter having been disposed of,
Mr. Boutelle demanded that the speaker
should inform him under what rule the
speaker had declined to entertain his ap
peal, and was told very pointedly that it
was not the duty of the chair, on the de
mand or request of the gentleman from
Maine to furnish him with any informa
tion.
The Democrats applauded this re
mark, but Mr. Boutelle persisted that it
was his privilege to make the point of
order. The speaker brushed aside this
demand and put the question on order
ing the previous question on the adop
tion of the report of the committee on
rules. On a standing vote there were
n«t 138 affirmative votes and no nega
tive ones. Then the yeas and nays were
called.
Tne yea and nay vote resulted in a
disclosure of the absence of a quorum—•
every Republican member declining to
answer, an I one Populist, Bell of Colo
rado, voting no. The result as announ
ced, was, yeas, 169; nays, I—nine1 —nine less
than a quorum. A call of the house
was then ordered.
The call of the house was responded
to by 273 members, and then the ques
tion whether all further proceedings un
der the call should be dispensed with
was put by the speaker, who announced
the result as ayes, 147, nays, 49.
Mr. Reed thought that the vote had
better be taken up by tellers, and he and
Mr. Catchings conducted the vote, which
was summed as 135 to 10. As the vote
did not require a quorum, further pro
ceedings under the call were dispensed
with.
Another vain effort was then made
to get an effective vote by yeiis and nays
on securing the previous question on the
report of the committee on rules. The
second vote on seconding the previous
question on the report of the committee
on rules proved to be as abortive as the
first—falling short of a quorum by 10.
No Republicans voted, and the Demo
crats only mustered 169.
Asking Gladstone to Help.
London, Jan. 5. —A petition bearing
the signatures of all the captains en
gaged in the navigation of the Atlantic
during the last two years will be pre
sented to Mr. Gladstone, asking him to
arrange for co-operation with the United
States in regard to the blowing up of
derelicts.

IMPORTANT D'ECIW
All Who Are Interested in InsirHMlH
Will Read With Interest.
New Orleans, Jan. s.—ln the civil
district court Judge Monroe has ren
dered a decision important to all i iter
ested in insurance. The suit was entitled
Stafg of Louisiana vs. Manson,
suit are shipping
cotton. TheynWyeusually within the
past few years insured cotton, either
wholly or in part, in foreign companies
having no agents in and paying no taxes
to the state of Louisiana.
Judge Monroe holds that under section
7, of act 150, of 1890, which fixes and
grades the licenses to be paid for the
business of insurance, any person or firm
residing in the state filling up policies
and effecting fire or marine insurances,
did, in fact, constitute themselves the
agents of the company in which the risk
was effected, the defendants are entitled
to pay licenses the same as local insur
ance companies. This decision will af
fect many firms in New Orleans, and is
of widespread interest. The case will
be appealed to the supreme court.
He Slept Sixty Hour*.
Chicago, Jan. s.—Rev. P. E. Wilkin

Forgery I. Often Employed.
Washington, Jan. 5.—-The forgery of

BADLY EXCITED.
I The Steamer Alameda Sends
Out Some Startling News.
DEMANDS A RESTORATION.
The Government Was Prepar
ing a Reply When Last
Heard From.
London, Jan. 5.—A despatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, states that the
American steamer Alameda from San
Francisco via Honolulu has arrived
there, bringing Hawaiian advices to
December 22. According to these ad
vices the greatest excitement is prevail
ing iu Honolulu.
A number of policemen who had been
requested to bear arms in defense of the
provisional government had refused to
do so and had been dismissed from the
government service. The dispatch fur
ther states that Mr. Willis, the Ameri
can minister, had written to the provis
ional government declaring that they
must surrender their office, as the United
States had decided in favor of Queen
Lilioukalani, who had agreed to grant
amnesty to the men who had overthrown
her government; to ratify the provision
al government obligations and to govern
the islands according to the present con
stitution.
The provisional government at the
time the Alameda sailed was preparing
a long reply to Senator Willis’ letter.
The Commercial Advertiser, of Hono
lulu, declares that the American con
gress has taken the Hawaiian matter out
of the hands of President Cleveland, and
that the provisional government will not
retire unless it is forced to do so. The
paper held that the employment of force
to depose the present government is not
likely.

A DIVIDEND.
World's Fair Stockholders May Get a Small
Share Soon.
Chicago, Jan. s.—The indications are
that stockholders of the Columbian Ex
position company will soon receive 10
per cent dividend on their stock. Ac
cording to a report of Auditor Barring
ton, there was on Dec. 1, $10,600,000 in
capital stock. Os this amount $5,000,-
was subscribed by the city of Chicago, ,
and the other $5,600,000 by individuals.
In the December report there was an es
timate that the net assets of the Exposi
tion company would be about $1,765,858.
Allowing for clewing uu the exposition 1
anairs it woma appear mat not more
than 10 cents on the dollar could be re
turned to the stockholder. One of the
considerations which has deterred the
I finance committee from making a recom
mendation was the fact that if a divi
dend of any amount were paid now it
would interfere with the donations of
stock to the Columbian museum.
In accordance with the conditions of
Marshall Field's gift of $1,000,000 to the
. museum there should be donated to the
trustees of that institution $2,000,000 of
exposition stock and $500,000 cash
subscriptions. The condition is not ful
filled.
