SUMMER SESSION
Os the Georgia Legislature as
Proposed.
IT CANNOT BE SETTLED
So as to Suit—lt is Very Prob
able That th£ Amend
ment WHI toe Killed.
t ■ •
Special to the Triirane.
Atlanta, Jan. 11.—The muddle over
the amendment to the constitution pro
'v.ding summer "sessions continues.
Under the bill passed by the legislature
and which is to be submitted to the peo
ple for ratification, the next legislature
must necessarily hold three sessions, and
there is sura to be a lot of complications
About the berms of the state house offi
cers, and further amendments to the
-constitution wiil hare to follow should
this one be ratified.
The bill as it passed is very simple,
and-simply amends article 3, section four
and paragraph 3 of the constitution of
1887 by striking out the word October
and inserting the word July, so as to
make the section read:
« The first meeting of the general assem
bly after the rati®cation of this consti
tution shall be on the 4th Wednesday of
July, 1878, and annually thereafter on the
same day until the day is changed by
law.”
But it is provided by law that it shall
not come into «ff-:ct until the ‘first of
J anuary, 188®.
It will be seen that the legislature,
which is 'elected in October, 1894, will
hold its first session on’the fourth Wed
nesday of October, 1894, undOT the pres
ent law. Then if fee proposed amend
ment is ratified, that legislature will meet
on the fourth Wednesday of July, 1896.
The Governor elected in October, 1884,
will hold office until July, 1897, for his
successor cannot qualify except when
the legislature is in session. And after
the election of the governor, which oc
curs in-July 189 S, the successful candi
date oannot be installed until January,
1897. Under the present law, as it
stands, the govarnof’s'term is from'Octo
ber until October, two years. If the
present amendment to the constitution is
ratified, there must necessarily be a sup
plementary amendment, for each legisla
ture will have a special sessionfor the
of inaugurating the governor.
J- it locks very much like what. Coco
would call a pretty mess. ”
Since the matter has been called to the
attention of the state house officers it is
the pretty general opinion th'at the beat
way to still the complications wili be to
kill the proposed amendment to the con
stitution. This will give the next legis
lature an opportunity to provide some
other means of getting at the summer
session which ever.ybedy believes is de
sirable. The members of the legislature,
no matter what their business .pursuits
can better afford to come to Atlanta in
the summer than October, November and
December and then there is \ better
chance of a full attendance, last
legislature demonstrated that the whiter
months were bad months for the Isola
te re to meet.
Depositories Named.
The governor has named some of the
■depositories which were provided for by
recant acts of the legislature.
In a number of the towns where de
positories were provided for no applica
tion has as yet been made and some cases
have not yet been decided. Those ap
pointed are as follows:
The First National Bank, of Carters
ville, which being a national bank, has to
give a bond of $100,006; Ularke Bank
ing Company, of Covington; The Mer
chants and Farmers Bank, ofQiitman;
The Bank of Fort Gaines, at Fort Gainee;
The Bank of Elberton, of Elberton; The
Planters Bank, of Americus. The last
five give bonds in the snm of $50,000.
Upon the execution of these bonds the
governor will issue his proclamations
stating what counties shall send money
to each of the depositories, that is, of
course, excepting what they send to the
central treasury.

Washington, Jan. 11.—The managers
■ of a Jersey City banquet which is to
- Jan. 26 are doomed to disap
f pointment and members of congress are
> laughing at their expense. The Jersey
f City men wrote recently to Senator Mc-
Pherson asking him to inVite ex-Speaker
[ Reed and Representative Wilson, of
, West Virginia, to attend the banquet
-and respond to « tariff toast.
In the absence of the senator a Jersey
■ ’City representative undertook the task.
1 £He was authorized by the letter to offer
. to Messrs. Reed and Wilson $lO6 each
and their expenses. When Mr. Reed
heard the proposition he grinned and
" said:
t “Os course, the laborer is worthy of
. his hire, but for the present and thenext
few weeks I will have a pretty big job
’ on my hands here. I regret that it will
• be impossible f«r me to accept the gen
-1 erous offer.”
■ Mr. Wilson art first was disposed to re
. gard the proposition as-a joke, but when
informed that it was made seriously, he
smiled and said :
• “I am afraid you will have to excuse
t me.”
Both men have.received many invita
s tions to public dinners, but this is the
first that has been accompanied by an
offer of money.

HE IS ANNOYED :
Takes All the Blame for the
Hawaiian Matter.
GRESHAM EXONERATED i
Instructions Given Were Those !
of the President—Other
Washington News.
Washington, Jan. 11.—It is said that
President Cleveland is considerably an
noyed at the comment of quite a number
of Democratic papers which have put
the responsibility of the Hawaiian blun- >
der on Mr. Gresham, the secretary of
state.
It is reported that Mr. Gresham is
alsoyery restless under these attacks,
and that he is prepared to show that it
is none of his business, and whatever he
has done has harmonized with presi
dential directions. A Well known mem
► ber of the house, in discussing the ques
tion with the president a few days ago,
reports Mr. Cleveland as being greatly
nettled over the effort to throw the
blame on Mr. Gresham, not that the
president would not be delighted to
i shift the wheje question beyond the
, doors of the White House, but because
he knows that Mr. Gresham knows, and
ta prepared to show, if necessary, that it
1 Is not the secretary of state but the
’ president who has taken charge of the
. Hawaiian matter from the beginning.
; Several Democratic newspapers have
f been very vigorous in their criticism of
t Mr. Gresham’s course, and have ex
pressed tne opinion in emphatic terms
, that this is the result Os appointing a
, Republicair as chief cabinet officer un
r der a Democratic administration, and
t have used this as a moral against any
I further entangling mugwump or Repub
l lican alliances.
The president, however, <toes not Wish
[ to have the responsibility shifted to the
t secretary of state. He admits that he is
j responsible for what has been done by
1 way of instructions te Commissioner
. Blount and Minister Willis, and he is
not seeking to displace whatever respon
. sibility may be attached to such devel
i epments as have taken place.

Alabama Congresswrii Act.
Washington, Jan. 11.— The members

' IN WRETCHED HEALTH,
; A Cashier Asheville and Has Not
Been II rard of -Mince,
M. C., Jan. 11.—Saturday
■before New Year Lawrence Pulliam,
cashier of the National Bank of /Ashe
ville, left hete with |6,300 for eastern
banks, -saying he could save express
chargee by carrying the money, as he
was going as far as Philadelphia any
way for the purpose of having an opera
tion performed.
Pulliam has not yet been heard from
at any point. As to whether he has
• stolen this money and does juot intend to
return to Asheville, opinion seems to be
very much divided, with, perhaps, a
strong preponderance in his favor.
Pulliam had been in wretched health,
had frequently to take morphine, and
carried a morphine syringe with nim.
1 His wife and friends believe his mind is
; affected and that he has wandered off
■ and perhaps been assaulted and robbed.
If Pulliam was a deliberate thief he
I could, as well as net, have taken much
more money than he did. A thorough
examination of the affairs of the bank
by officials and experts has so far failed
to develop any further shortage. Pul
liam was bonded in the Fidelity and
Casualty company of New York in the
sum of SIO,OOO.

Wasihngtos, Jan. 11.—Representa
tive Bryan, of Nebraska, for the com
mittee on ways and means, has prepared i
a statement concerning the’various sys-1
terns of income tax in operation in
; Europe. It is a result of correspondence
! between the state department and
United States consuls. In order to sys

s were salt to the consuls concerning the
s Tate of tax, the exemptions, the amount
realized, the manner of assessment, pun
ishment imposed, etc. •
Great Britain is shown to liave im
posed an income tax continuously since
1843. The rate of tax has varied from
year to year, never being belo sv pence
on the pound sterling. The present rate
is 7 pence on the pound
assessed on all incomes over 150 pounds,
or about $750 a year. Tile sum reMttßL
by the government under the
tax in 1892 was 13,290,000
about $66,000,000. The tax covers a™’
classes of incomes. It is made obliga
tory upon persons subject to the tax to
make a return as to the amount of their
incomes. The penalty for neglecting or
refusing to make a return is 20 pounds
and a triple tax on the in
The various states of th|Kerman em
pire impose income taxes, em
pire has none. Prussia has had an in
come tax since 1851. The tendency of
late years in Prussia has been to reduce
the tax on small incomes and increase
it on great ones. All indomes under 900
marks are exempt. The rate is graded,
beginning with 1 per cent on small
incomes and increasing to 4 per cent 6n
large ones. The total sum realized from
these taxes last year was 124,843,848
marks. .
Bavaria has had an income tax since
1860. It is graded accdrding to the
amount pf incomes. The annual yield
for last year was 2,110,038 marks.
Wurtemburg has had an income tax
since 1820. The present rate is about 4
per cent.
Baden has imposed an income tax
within recent years. The rate is 2 per
cefit on all incomes over 500 marks.
The entire yield for 1891 was 5,700,000
marks.
Bremen has an income tax varying
from year to year. Last year the rate
was 4 per cent, with an addition for in

Austria collected about $10,000,000 last
year from an income tax. The tax is
divided into three classes, according to
the amount of the income. The rate
varies from 8 1-2 per cent up to 20 per
cent.
The Italian government realized $45,-
000,000 from its income tax last year.
The rate is 12 per cent, and covers in

Switzerland has a complex system ot

BLOUNT’S MISSION.
•>
He Has Explained a Few Points
Before the Committee.
HIS COURSE AT HONOLULA
The Ex-Minister Defends His
Action Taken In Regard to
Lowering the Flag.
Washington, Jan. 11.—Mr. Blount
has appeared before the sub-committee
of the senate investigating Hawaiian
affairs. ~ > , a .
The efforts of the committe were di
rected more to securing an explanation
from Mr. Blount of his various acts
while in Honolulu than to obtaining"
from him an accurate account of his
mission, of which the committee was al
ready sufficiently informed through his
official report. .
The trip to ths islands on the Rush,
the landing at Honolulu on the 29th of
March and his reception by the people
on both sides of the question was passed
over almost without mention, as was ths,
fact that both the annexationists and the
royalists were apparently exceedingly
anxious to make his stay as pleasant as
possible.
Then came ths decision to have the
American ensign taken down and Amer
ican soldiers returned to the man-of
war. He had found the islands and the
government entirely under the control
or protection of United States troops.
The American flag floated over the gov
ernment building in which the officers
of the provisional government conducted
their business. Everywhere was noticed
the influence of this country upon the
people of the islands.
It was evident that it would be diffi
cult to secure an impartial account or
opinions uninfluenced by surroundings
as long as this state of affairs continued.
Consequently he decided on March 31,
two days after his arrival, that in ac
cordance with the spirit of his instruc
tions and in the interest of fair play that
the flag should be taken down and
. Avaericam troops removed. Os this de
\crsion'he informed President Dole and
</ii the following day, April 1, ended the
protectorate and had the flag
lowered.
Ttlis proceeding he defended as within
the'-scope of his mission and an entirely
proper proceeding. Under the circum
stances the subsequent events proved
thait the presence of American troops
werJe not necessary to preserve order or
prohect life and property of either
Americans or natives.

COLORADO’S LEGISLATURE
The Governor Carried His Point and That
Body Met.
Denver, Jan. 11.—The ninth general
assembly of Colorado convened at noon.
In both branches the old organizations
were continued. Governor Waite be
gan reading his message at 3 o’clock and
finished at 4:30. Cheers and loud ap-
■clause greeted the venerable executive
opening words.
,/fijta«hed reading
there was loud the Popu
list members ot the legislature and The
spectators. Governor Waite’s message
reviews the recommendations which
constituted his call for the session. He
asks for the repeal or modification of the
present laws on trust deeds and attach
ments. He declares that these laws are
iniquitous. He discusses the silver and
financial questions at some length, criti
cising some utterances of Secretary Car
lisle and Senator Teller, and declares
the only remedy the state has is to com
pel the restoration of the rights of which
it has been deprived by coining its own
silver bullion into dollars, which should
pass as legal tender for all purposes on
an equality with gold. He concludes as
follows:
“We stand on the brink of an indus
trial slavery—an era of falling prices—
which has reduced in Colorado the value
of commodities and real estate to, in
many cases, less than one-third the val
ue one year ago.”
Immediately after the joint session
was dissolved a ro w broke out in the
house. Mr. Bonynge, Republican, de
clared the governor had insulted the in
telligence of the legislature by making a
partisan stump speech.
Mr. Sweeney, Populist, hotly defend
ed the governor. A motion to adjourn
sine die was defeated by a vote of 25 to
26. The message was ordered printed
by a vote of 57 to 5.

Paul Romare, vice-president of the
Atlanta National bank, testified that on
Feb. 18, 1893, he discovered a shortage
of SIO,OOO in the clearing honse balance
sent to his bank from the Gate City Na
tional.
He demanded the sum at once of Red
wine and it was repaid. Redwine
claimed it was simply an error.
Porter Woodson, paying teller of the
Merchants’ bank, testified that on the
same day this supposed error occurred,
he advanced SIO,OOO on Redwine’s sash
ier checks. Cashiers of other city banks
stated that they had at different times
during Redwine’s connection with the
Gate City bank advanced money on sim
ilar checks.
Peter B. Grant, a well known society
young man, testified to some real estate
transactions he had with Redwine a
year ago. and incidentally threw some
light on the ex*vashier's luxurious habits.
Redwine, he testified, was a member of
the Capital City club, and also belonged
to th? Cotillion club, although he did
not dan<te; and of the Piedmont Driving
club, although he did not drive. The
government will occupy at least all day
