VOL. VI. &O. 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. xuuuor ni{rncK-s Election.

And ReiWesentative Wilson Ask to Be Ex , eused—The Jersey City Banquet. 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.

W. *': BO.WK UA., FBiDa» MORNING. JANUAkY 13, la»4 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. s <?<Mrtirterh>s the Tariff. s Washington, Jan. 11.—After the routine morning business the house went ’ into committee of the whole to consider 1 the Wilson tariff hill, and Mr. Breckin ridge, of Kentucky, addressed the com mittee. Mr. Breckinridge finished his speech , amid enthusiastic plaudits of the<ailery . and the floor, and when this had sub , aided and the house was restored to or der, Mr. Richards, of Ohio, -addressed ■. the coiwjttee. Richards’s time • having cxp^red^Bjjpiaif,' Mr.'CfNeill 1 of Massachusetts, recognized Dingley, ’ who spoke against the ' bill. Dingley ’s ’ hour having expired, Mr. Springer was } recognized and supported the bill.

Washington, Jan. 11.— The members . of the Alabama delegation in the house ' of representatives have decided to offer an amendment to the Wilson bill, pro- J viding for a duty of 50 cents a ton on J; both pig-iron and coal, and placing ma- 4 chinery used in the manufacture of cot- | ton goods on the free list. The amend- I ment will be offered by General Oates. Should it not he agreed to the delegation i ■will support the bill, h ' 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. iW-i VIEWED ABROAD. Foreign Papers Have Begun Comments oe the Proposed Tariff Bill. London, Jan. 11.—The Times, refer- , ring to the tariff debate in the house of representatives, says: 1 , “Looking at the lack of agreement ] among tlia Democrats when they de scend from generalities to practical de- < tails, as exemplified in the debate on the silver legislation,’ it is not remarkable I that the still more complicated tariff bill is receiving a .lukewarm support < a considerable section of the party. 1 modifications already made in MMMtL i» ori’er to conciliate the protect- t represent, in the aggre- 1 ordinary circumstances. < as a pretty still j As 11 ‘ r it 3 passage < wiietlnr ( mu wui not emerge rrom tne orueai in < ■uch a shape that nobody can be expect ed to care very much whether it ever I. becomes a law or not." The Standard says: j “National finance in the United States has been Tammany finance on a large scale! A long and painful journey must now be taken by the American people to j return to. the honest finance of old days, when the gentlemen planters of the south governed the country, not always 7 wisely peifaaps, but still not as robbers in possession of the national till. The men who squandered $70,000,000 of the public resources in four or five years are not likely to be stopped by trifles. A fierce and bitter, though possibly short, fight for the right to continue stealing 1 is, therefore, in prospect, and victory is < not, at all points, certain for the reform- , ers. Until it is pretty well so the con dition of the treasury must go from bad to worse.” i FRAZER’S SENTENCE. ! Me Get. Sixty Tears for His Heinous 1 Crimes at Tampa. j . Tampa, Jan. 11. —A. Frazer, charged j with criminally assaulting five little < girls, tried to end his miserable life in ( his cell at the jail. He secured an empty whisky flask in some Way, broke it to < bits with his heavy shoe heel, placed a < quantity of the powdered glass on his I tongue and swallowed it with a drink of i Water. Before he could take more, i other prisoners who were watching ] ciflled Jailer Rawls, who took the glass away and carefully searched Frazer and I his cell. - 1 : Fraser did not get enough glass to hurt him much, but there is no doubt that he intended to kill himself. It 1 would have been well for him if he had succeed, for his gray Lairs will fill a convict’s grave. He is fully 65 or 70 years old, and has just been sentenced to 60 years in the penitentiary at hard labor. He was staggered by the enor mity of the sentence. He had not seemed before ta realize the atrocity of his crime. APPEALED TO WASHINGTON. Foreigners Refuse to Take Munitions of War After They Are Ordered. San Francisco, Jan. 11.—In Muylasi\ Colonel Pennypacker, who was at one \ time chief staff of of President Ezeta, of Salvador, ordered a quantity of arms and munitions from a local gun firm of this city, with instructions to consign them to the Occidental bank of the city of Sau Salvador. The goods wore sent, but in tbe mean time Pennymaker had quarreled with ; i Ezeta and had to flee from Salvador. When the consignment arrived at its destination, Ezeta seized the goods. Al though repeated requests have been made for payment of the same, Ezeta up to the present time refused to nettle. The United States consul has be m ap pealed to without avail, and tho anthor -itteJat WashingteK have-been asked to take'aetipn. ABOUT >JCOME TAX. Representative Bi'yan Semites Some In forßwitioiL f<>r the •Committee. 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 > teinatize the information, nine questions 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 comes over 600 marks. 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 comes derived from all sources except lands and buildings. Switzerland has a complex system ot taxing incomes. An income of 100,000 francs pays almost 8 per cent, but an in coine of 2,000 franes pays only l percent. About 3-4 of the entire revenue of Switz erland is raised by a direct taxw^^. comas and wooerty. 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. Stair President and Cabinet- Was \ !X< TON, Jan. 11. —MW vIIIM li-' on tli.--i.-w phase affairs was delivered to Gresham immediately after at the postoffice. Secretary Gresham carried the dWJ ments to the White House where trji are now being considered by the pr/sS dent and Secretaries Gresham, Herbeie i and Lamont. It is expected that the' I conference will last until 2 o’clock, as i the members of the cabinet who are at tending the meeting left word at their offices that they would not be back until that hour. The president has denied himself to all visitors. 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. REDWINE’S TRIAL. The Desperate Efforts of The Defendant to Cover Up Hie Trucks. Atlanta, Jan. 11. —The morning ses sion of Lewis Redwine’s trial was chiefly occupied by effort on the part of the prosecution to show a desperate expedi ent resorted to by the defendant to cover up the track of increasing defalcations, while the teiier and assistant cashier of the Gate City bank. A i ■ cor* iii i PRICE bIVE CENTS. advances rrom otner oanxs orr casmera checks, often covering one sum with an other. 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 with the balance of their testimony, Berlin** Unemployed Make Trouble.
