THE ROME TRIBUNE
VOL.VI.NO. 1.V41.
GOV. NORTHEN -
Says H&Don't Mind What the
Papers Have Said. I
I
WAS FIXED FOR THE FIGHT
*
And Would Have Stopped It if
the Sluggers Had A tempted
to Invade Georgia.
Special to The Tribune.
Atlanta. Jan. 27.—The governGf re
turned thia moruiug and got down co Lie |
■office at 9 o’clock, as if nothing bad hap
pened. He was soon up to bis earn iu
work, but during the course of the morn
ing found time to talk about the trip to
Waycross.
“There is not much to say about it,”
said he, “except this, there was an
evident indication on the part of a lot of
rowdies and roughs to disregard the au.
tbority of the laws in this state and to
give a disgraceful exhibition on Gaorgia
soil. I determined to prevent it, using
what moans I halon hand. Os coms*
you know that there was fl islly no at
tempt made to fight on Georgia soil aud
that settled it.
“I had positive inf irmition from un
doubted sources,” said the governor,”
“that the fi <bt was to com > off in G>o<-
gia in case the courts prevented it occur
ring io Jacksonville. Three men who
went co Jacksonville voluntarily to as
certain tho situation, wired that it had
been decided that the fight w>u ! d
take paiaiti Gsirgia, aid it was on
this information that I acted. Yasterday
morning, the day of the fight, theie
were a lot of telegraph instruments put
off at S’. Mary’s River, showing that my
inform scion wascoireot. I had the sher
iff and a equal ••£ men at St. Mary’s, aud
for every cwo m les along the ro 11 f had
a deputy sheriff and a squ id. T ley had
ineirnctionsio c ise any train p issnd to
follow it and prevent any fight in Geor
gia. There was no especial gu ird sent to
Cumberland, but there were lo >k >u s
there, aud had there been any indication
of a fight taking place we would have
b>en able to have seat soldiers at short
notice. I went to Waycross bioiun I
thought that the best place to superin
tend operations.
‘ I know some of the newspapers have
criticised me, but I d >n’t care about that
at all. I did what I considered my divy,
and f am only glad tbit it was not neces
sary to prevent the fight bv force.”
SEES NO OBJECTION.
Kate Field Passes Judgment on the St.
Gaudens Medal Caste.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Secretary Car
lisle has transmitted to Mr." St. Gau
dens, the designer of the World's Fair
medal, a request for a modification of
the reverse of the caste to which objec
tion has been made by Senator Vilas and
others. The secretary says in his letter
that the senate committee on the quadro
centennial object to the design on ac
count of the nude figure.
The design, the secretary says, is a
work of at, but while there might bo
no objection to it in the form of statu
ary in a gallery, he is frank to say that,
inasmuch a% there are to be over 20,000
of the medals struck, he is satisfied that
it would be severely criticised by a large
majority of the people in its present
form. In view of these facts he requests
that the designer of the medal. My. St.
Gaudens. will be kind enough to submit
some design covering the objectionable
part of the figure.
Misjs Kate Field, the well known edi
tor of,Washington, called at the treas
ury department to inspect the medal
and see lor herself wh'tins- the objec
tions to it Were well loan i. She was
receive I by Director Preston, who ex
hibited the original casts, which Miss
Field examined critically. She subse
quently said:
_ “There in absolutely nothing objec
tionable in this, design, and f am sorry
for those whose minds are so constituted
that they can fit: I anything indecent in
it to criticise. If this figure is to bo
draped wo bad better begin tile work of
putting trousers on all the Apollos in
the art galleries iti the country. As for
the senators who have caused the work
on the re suspended, I can only
cay that they have shown themselves
prurient in too extreme.”

PECKHAM’S CHANCES.
The Fight Will lie Short aud Sharp on
M _ Confirmation.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Mr. Pugh,
chairman of the senate ju liciary com- j
mittee, said ha thought it altogether
likely that the Peckham nomination
would be sakeu up at the commit tee’s
meeting on Monday, rm 1 intimated that
it might be disposed of at that meeting.
This encourages the opponents of Mr. .
Peckham to claim that an adverse re-.
port on the iiuininat on by the commit
tee is certain. Air. Pugh himself is
known to be opposed to confirmat’.o i, !
and it is assumed tb it he would not pre- |
diet speedy action unless ho felt well as
svre I of a result favorable to his view
of t ho case. j
The fight against tho nomination is
taking a new turn. Mr. Peckham is ,
disappearing from tho contest and tho
pres.dent .s coming in for criticism. All
of the talk heard row is what senators
term the “meaning” of the nomination.
This has been true co ispicuonsly on t.ie
Republican side of the chainbc-.s Mr.
Peckham’s abilities and high standing
wore conceded, but tiio opinion was ex
pressed that the president was using
him as a cl ib With winch to knock
down the New York senators. The
most eminent of tho New England sen- 1
alors said that although ho had voted
for Mr. Hornblower he could not in his
view of Pie case vote for Mr. Pecklinin. 1
He could not afford, he said, to become |
a party to a transaction which, as ho
viewed it, had for one object the per
sonal discomfiture of two members of
■ the senate. I
Mr. Hill has, of course, been quick to
detect this feeling in tho senate, and is
■ playing upon it with effect. Mr. Peck
ham’s friends, while conceding nothing,
expect to make their fight in the senate. ,
The committee’s report, what- ,
ever it may be, will give them their
case, as they will bo prepared to mako
tho contest sharp and short.
FIGHTING THE BILL.
Gossip About the Dangers That Threaten
Tariff Legislation.
Washington, Jan. 26.—Representa
tive Haines, of New Jersey, says that j
the Democrats opposed to the features '
of the Wilson bill will get together soon
and decide whether a motion will bo I
made to recommit the bill or to lay it on
the table, or to strike out the enacting
clause. Mr. Hiin-s sirs the me-ting
will bo inform.:!. H ■ is inclined to think ,
a motion to lay it on the table will Lo ■
made.
Mr. Haines asserts that if tho four
Democrats of Louisiana who arc dissat
isfied with the sugar schedule will veto
i against tho bill, it will make.the opposi
tion strong enough to lav tho Wilson i
bill on the table, or to take other ad
verse action. Members of tho ways and
means committee do not credit tho
claims of Mr. Haines. They say that a i
motion to lay on tho table would not bo \
in order under the spacial rule. But a .
motion to recommit would ‘bo in order, j
and it is this motion that tho members 1
of the committee feel some concern
about, as they s.i v. that Democrats could I
vote for it without going on record
against the bill as a whole. It is -ot be- i
lioved a motion to recommit will core
from tho Republican side, as it would i
raise party feeling and thus dcfo.it its j
intended pin-pose.

ECHOES FROM THE FIGHT.
, Corbett and Mitclictl Arrested as Soon as
it Was Over.
Jacksonville. Fla., Jan. 26.—The
courts and G dvernrfr Mifcliell are yet to
be heard fro n in regard to tho Corbett-
Mitchell matter before tho end of the
1 chapter is reached.
i Ccrbett comes out with §30,000, at
least, and little damages to his person;
winle the British fighter \vas badly
i bruised up, and got little more than tlio
SI,OOO bei on his appearance.
Tiie fight had been announced to take
place at 1:30. but it was a lew minutes
past 2 o’clock before Corbett entered tho
arena and took his place in the ring.
■ Mitchell followed a little later. After a
i lew preliminaries tho gong was sounded;
I line was called anti the two men went
together.
The fight was an easy victory for the
champion. It lasted oaly three rounds,
arid Corbett was tho aggressor from tho
very start. Mitchell was clearly out
i classed, and, although the fight was a
| sharp and exciting one. it was really a
one siileil one m almost every particular.
| Tin re were fully 3,000 people present,
' anil all of th m were disappointed be
i cause the fight was so short ns to hard
ly give them the worth of their money.
I Mitchell wtis knocked out in the third
round and was some time in recovering;
and when ho did lie left the ring a badly
used up man. Corbett escaped with only
a few .sera lies.
| Both men were promptly arrested for
i a v.ola’.i >n of the law and gave bonds
tor their appearance in court.

THE SILVER CRISIS.
The India Council Realize the
Mistakes in June.
BIMETALLISM LOOM UP.
Bearing of the Indian Crisis
Upon the Future Finance
of the Country.
The following article, taken from the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, is the
ablest and most significant explanation
we have seen of the acute silver crisis
which now paralyzes the business of
India.
The time when bimetalism will be
forced upon the world appears to be near
at hand, and the logic of events is mov
ing mountains of difficulty which mere
argument could not budge.
The cable brings us from Calcuta an
item of news that is of supreme im
portance to the political, social and eco
nomic interests of the civilised world.
Wo refer to the following dispatch,
which appeared in our is?ue of yester
day: “ The government announces that
in view of ibe beginning of the export
season it does not propose to maintain
the minimum rate for council bills, and
that offers of Is. to 1-. d. will be con
sidered on their merita. Amaz-ment
has been caused by this step, and busi
ness is completely disorganized.”
In order to fully understand the sig
nificance of this news it is necessary to
brii fly review the history of the silver
question inpts bearings upon the Indian
currency.
In 1803 France enacted her bimetallic
law, which provided that the French
mints should be opened to the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and sil
ver at the ratio of 15to 1.
For seventy years ttie French mints
and the mints of the Litiu Union, a ter
it was formed, remained open to both
on the terms prescribed by the
Lw of 1803 There then ex : sted a stable
par of exchange between England, witiT
her single gold standard, and the silver
standatd countries of the Eiet, upon
whose trade hangs the very life of her
commerce.
In 1873 occurred an event which
changed all this, and Iwhich, in its ulti
mate results, reduced all commerce be
twet n the Occidental and the Oriental na
tions to the level of the most reckless
gambling. One of the most sinister con
sequences'of the Franco-German war is
to be found iu the immense currency
changes which it brought to iis
train. Germany, d--zz'ed by the glitter
of the $1,000,000,000 indemnity which she
exac'.ed from France, determined to de
monetize silver and adopt the single
gold standard, just as in 1846 she had de
monetized gold and adopted the single
silver staudaid. France was then sore
from her tremendous defeat, and espe
cially from the loss of her well beloved
provinces. It was not unnatural that
she should throw al! possible obstacles in
ths way of Germany’s success. Accoid
ingly the mints of the Latin Union were
closed to the free c linage of silver. This
action may justly be considered the most
important event of modern times, if we
take into acc mnt the tremendous
changes in the lines and currents of com
merce which it lias brought about.
The iff icts of this mighty change wers
at tiist but little observed by tho casual
think ir of toe day, but the most far
seeing economists of tho time predict d
that the ultimate results would involve
a greater waste of human 1 .b >r than was
caused by the Napoleonic wars. L:.
In the years between trie mutiny of
1857 and the closure of the Latin Union
mints, tbo E Vst Indian government had
contracted au immense debt in E iglaud,
the pr iceei s of w rich had bi eu em
ploy! d in railways, canals aud oilier use
fut public works. Ttie interest on th: :
debt, amounting to about £ls 000,000 per
annum, has, of course to be paid in gold.
India is a sibgle-siivar standard country,
gold having ceased to be a legal teutier
iu 1834 Tne unit of value iu British In
dia is the rupee, a Coin weighing 180
grains, of which 165 are pure silver, and
15 grains are alloy. O. course nil the

I that, to all intents and purposes, their
incomes had been diminished by one
half. As the crisis became more intense
the agitation of the official class in
creased, and this pressure was reinforced
by the angry complaints of the vast mass
of British traders who found that, in
ninety-nine cases out of every hundred,
prospective profits were turned into
losses by the depreciations in the ex
changeable value of the silver currency
inwnich they had to take their pay.
Many great London banks were ruined
by accepting deposits payable in gold and
employing the money iu long loans in
silver countries. When the loans ma
tured and the proceeds were invested in
sterling, the principal had shrunk by '
one-half.
In the spring of 1893 the Indian Coan- '
oil took decisive action. The govern- 1
ment mints were closed to the coinage of
silver on private account, and it was au '
nounced that no drafts on the Indian
treasuries against tbe taxes collected for <
the payment of tbe interest on tbe ster- ]
ling debt would be sold at a less rate than i
Is. 4d. per rupee, which is equivalent to 1
about for bar silver in the London 1
market. Ths next act in Chis great in- (
ternational drama was the repeal of the j
Sherman act. The Indian mints hsd I
been annually coining about 50.000,000 '
ounces of silver, while we had annually '
purchased about the same quantity ua- j
der tbe provisions of the Sheiman law.
The Indian government hoped that by ■
closing tbe mints to coinage on private '
account they would be able to give the
rupee a scarcity value, and thus main- |
tun the ratio of exchange which tb<y l
had established. Tbe event has com
pletely falsified their calculations. Sime '
of the causes of the monumental failure j
are very obscure, while others lie on the i
surface. i
Tbe horded coin is now earning back '
into circulation, aud tbe same thing is '
true in China, where boaids of trade (
have resolved to use the Eugiish coin in
stead of tho yen.
This reduces tbe business with India .
to gambling again, aud makes it exceed
ingly hazardous for E iglish meichanrg
i engaged in trade with the orient. This ,
state of affairs has accelerated tbe growth .
of puplic opinion in England and even
Caprivi, the Piime Minister of Germany,
is a convert. Lord Salisbury, dtscu ssiug
the India loan in tbe English bouse of
lords, not long ago, declared that inti r
national bimetallism was swiftly and
surely coming. The return of the con
servatives to power would hasten the
event, as tbe leaders of th«t party are
pronounced bimetallists. The Timn-
Democrat advocated tho repeal of the
Sherman act last fall because it bsheved
that to be tbe only safe course, but it
hails with pleasure the prospect of a
speedy return to bimetallism, the de
parture from which twenty years ago
brought so great a disaster in its train.
Painter Pays tho Penalty.
Springfield, 111.. Jan. 26.—George H.
Painter was hung here for the murder ;
of Alice Martin, his mistress. After hav- j
ing been twice granted reprieves. Go ver- |
nor Altgeld hear i the case a third time
on an application for pardon, but refused
to interfere further. At the first attempt
the rope snapped and the man was precip
itated to the stone floor eight feet below.
Blood gushed in a stream from his head.
Ho was picked up unconscious and
another noose adjusted and tho drop
was again sprung at 8:10. Tins time the
execution was successful.
A Society Man Got Hurt.
Nashville. Jan. 26.—Mr. John H.
j Tolk, a well known young man in Nash-
I villo society, fell from a ladder 10 feet
' to tho floor and was seriously, if not fa
! tally hurt, at Amusement h ill. The
