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.” FIRE IN CINCINNATI.

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. Fine-.! Him with ISucksliot.

The 1 galleries were only fairly well filled. After tho reading of the journal Mr. Cochran renewed his tactics of filibust ering and ma le the point of no quorum. ’lke roll was then called. A lively tilt occurred between Mr. ' Recd and Mr. Bynum.

I Chairman Culberson did not vote, and this ills, loses the fact that the voting Democrats were evenly divided; Bailey I Goodright and De trmond sustaining resolu ion. and Layton, Stockdale and' Wolverton voting to lay it on the table.

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. SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

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.

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.
