EVANS INTERVIEWED.
:Sonth Carolina’s Governor Talks of the
Decision of the United States Court.
Memphis, June 12.—Governor John
Gary Evans of South Carolina, who is
here to attend the silver convention,
was interviewed concerning the deci
sion of the United States court of ap
peals in the South Carolina registration
law case, in which the court reversed
the decision of Federal Judge Goff.
The governor expressed gratification
at the result, but it was no more than
he expected. “The decision and injunc
tion of Judge Goff,” he added, “were
merely a part of a conspiracy in which
General Wade Hampton, Senator But-
Jer and other leaders of the conserva
tive Democracy are parties and by
which it is intended to defeat the pro
posed constitutional convention.”
Hampton and Butler, he said, owed
their election to the senate to the very
> Registration laws which they would
now destroy through the negro vote
and the coercive agency of the federal
court.
Senator-Elect Tillman, who was pres
ent at the interview, interjected the re
mark that the people of South Carolina
had downed the federal courts in 1876
when the state was under military rule
and they could do it again.
AFTER DEATH.
Th. Fraudulent Transaction* of a Lawyer
Dbcorered.
London, June 12.—1 t transpires that
I T. A. Wooley, a prominent lawyer who
committed snicide in March last, was
involved in extensive forgeries, extend
ing over a period of several years. It
is estimated that they amount to about
(140,000. He effected mortgages on the
property of others, in some instances
mortgaging the same property two or
three times.
His frauds were discovered by aooi
ient while he was ill. Many well
fiown lawyers have been victimized
I through Wooley’s fraudulent transao
l tions, and through these lawyers hun-I
dreds of families throughout the coun
try have suffered.
THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
DEBS IS MISSING.
FftSled to Show Up Begin HU
Term In PrUon.
Chicago, June 12.—Eugene V. Debs,
whose term of imprisoment in Wood
stock jail was to have begun Tuesday
night, had not been found up to 10
o’clock. Several United States mar
shals had been searching for the miss
ing man, but no trace of him had been
found up to the hour named.
Debs surrendered himself to the mar
shals Tuesday noon and was given his
liberty until 5 o’clock. By this action
he released himself from the bonds un
der which he had been held and is con
sequently out of custody without bail.
Various theories explanatory of the
absence of Mr. Debs were advanced,
and some of his friends expressed fears
for his personal safety, but it was gen
erally believed that he would appear
during the day and give himself up.
The theory that being released from
bail he hai taken advantage of the op
portunity to escape was laughed at by
his friends, who declared that his per
sonal affairs would not permit of so
sudden a departure for foreign lands.
Only Overslept Himself.
Chicago, June 12.—The mysterious
disappearance case of President E V.
Debs, of the A R U., came out
when he presented himself at the
United States marshal’s office at Ila.
m., after having been lost to the au
thorities since noon Tuesday. Mr.
Debs said that he had gone to sleep at
a friend’s house and had not awakened
until morning.
THE CREW DESERTED.
Pa*a«ncer* of the Why Not Were Left on
the Burning Vea*el.
St. Malo, June 13.—Particularshave
been received here of the desertion of
the passengers of the British vessel
Why Not by the crew after fire broke
out on board the ship, while on her way
to the island of Jersey. It appears that
fire was discovered in the Why Not’s
hold on Saturday and while the sailors
were attempting to quench the flames
a bucket was dropped overboard. A
boat was lowered to recover it aud the
captain jumped into the boat aud was
followed by the crew. One passmger
sprang overboard and swam after the
boat into which he was reluctantly tak
en. The deserted passengers were
greatly alarmed and the excitement
among them increased when the small
boat was seen to be pulling for Erquery,
where the crew eventually landed.
Taking advantage of a breeze, the
passengers handled the Why Not as
best, they could, and succeeded in beach
ing her .near Erquery. The incident
has caused intense excitement at St.
Brienx, the nearest town to Erquery,
and the matter is being thoroughly in
vestigated by the local authorities.
The captain of the Why Not, though
not under arrest, is closely watched by
the police. It is understood that the
British consul will take the matter up,
and upon his report will depend further
action.
RICH GOLD FIND.
I* I* Sold to Bove Been Discovered In
raying Quantities.
Los Angeles, June 12.—Gold is said
to have been found in paying quanti
ties at the bottom of the Odean, near
the western end of San Clement’s
island.
The discovery was made in a peculiar
manner. While Archibald Read was
cruising about in his yacht it became
necessary to heave the lead in order to
ascertain the character of the bottom
with a view to casting anchor. The
lead had a small cavity in the bottom
filled with tallow that was used to indi
cate what kind of a sea bed it touched.
If rooky the indentation on the waxy
substance would clearly show it, and if
muddy it would be unaffected. In this
tallow the gold was found imbedded.
It is supposed there is a rich placer
concealed by the waves and the party
proposes to strip it of its treasures. An
expedition is to be fitted out in the near
future and a diver will be taken to San
Clement’s. The gold is of fine quality
and entirely free from quartz.
WARNER ON SILVER.
Ha Say* Nobody but an Out and Out Sliver
Man Can Carry thaNvaat.
Cleveland, June 12.—General A. J.
Warner has arrived at his home in Ma
rietta from the Pacific coast. In a let
ter to a friend in this city he says:
“There is no trouble about the west.
Nobody but an out and out silver man
can carry a single state west of the
Missouri river next year. The good
work is going on.
"The politicians are kept busy trying
to keep the people Inside the party
fences, bub they find it hard work to do
it. For myself, I care nothing for par
ty names. I want results.”
The general expects to be at the Mem
phis bimetallic convention.

SILYERITES SWARM.
All Political Parties Represented at tte
Memphis Convention.
AN EXTRA LARGE ATTENDANCE
Os Delegates From Nearly Ev
ery Southern State
WILL BE ON HAND AT THE MEETING.
In Point of Numbers it Will Far Exceed the
Recent Convention of the Oppo
site Side.
Memphis, June 12.—The largest meet
ing ever held in this country for the
discussion of a single economic ques
tion, convened at the Auditorium in
this city. Certainly no such outpour
ing of men of all classes, from the tiller
of the soil to the representatives of the
bench and bar, the artisan and the mer
chant representing all political parties,
but unanimous upon at least one prin
ciple of governmental policy, has ever
been seen in the south. While an over
whelming majority of the delegates to
this convention, called in the interest
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, come from
this section of the country, the repre
sentation includes almost every state
south of the Ohio river and west of the
Mississippi—from Puget sound to the
Keys of Florida; from the Mexican
boundary to the Potomac.
It may more properly be called a
monster massmeeting than a conven
tion, for there is no fixed basis of rep
resentation and it is not held under the
authority of any political organization.
The promoters of the conference
claim no credit for bringing about this
imposing demonstration. This they
are generous enough to accord to their
opponents, the “sound money” advo
cates. They say this spontaneous man
ifestation of a strong and growing pub
lic sentiment may be traced directly to
the convention of May 23, at which
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle was
the guest of honor. Taking their cue
from that gathering an invitation was
extended to the friends of free silver to
participate in a counter demonstration
with a result that far exceeded the ex
pectations of any of the leaders of the
movement.
While the gathering comprises Dem
ocrats, Republicans and Populists and
is supposedly nonpartisan, there is
much in it of interest to the political
observer.
The convention, despite the presence
of delegates representing the two old
parties and the Third party, is not like
ly to result in anything more than an
enormous amount of speech making
and the adoption of strong free silver
resolutions.
The delegates arrived all night and
are still coming in There will proba
bly be over a thousand on hand when
the convention is caSed to order at 2
o’clock. It was given out that the con
vention would open at 11 a. m., but cer
tain arrangements were not completed
in time and it was decided to put off
the opening until the afternoon.
WAS IN THE WAY.
Mrs. Betta Young: and » Man Named
Smithe Killed the Former’s Husband.
Portland, Or., June 12. Louis
Smithe, Who was arrested last Saturday
for the larceny of a cow and has been
confined since then in the county jail,
has confessed that he murdered George
Young in August, 18S2, at Mott, a
small town in northern California.
Acting on this information received
from Smithe, Sheriff Sears arrested
Mrs. Petta Yonng, widow of the mur
dered man. She was found in a log
cabin near Portland, where she has
been living for some years with Smithe
and her four children.
If Smithe’s statement is true they bru
tally murdered her husband simply to
get him out of the way.
ATTACKED BY TOUGHS.
Two Mob and Their Families A.aanlted

Stuttgart, Ark., June 12.—A fish

son and another man, their wives and
three children, camping on White
river, five mile* below St. Charles, were
attacked Saturday night by toughs,
their tents shot into, one woman and
child killed and a man and boy serious
ly wounded.
John Kemp, one of the toughs, was
killed by Thompson. Great indigna
tion prevails. There is no known cause
for the outrages. Particulars are hard
to get, owing to the distance from the
railroad.
Well Known Ma.lcl.n Dead.
San Francisco, June 12.—Professor
Charles Goffrie, at one time one of the
best known musicians in the world,
died at Fruitvale, and was buried here.
He was a native of Germany, where he
was born in the city of Anheim, 74
years ago. Although he made consid
erable money and was famous in his
time, Goffrie died in comparative pov
erty and obscurity.

AT AUBURN COLLEGE.
Secretary Herbert, of the Navy Depart
ment
DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
An E'oquent Speech to the
Graduating Class
WITH SOME WHOLESOME ADVICE
* •
To the Boys of That Great Alabama Insti
tution —He Was Aceorded a Warm
Welcome.
Auburn, Ala., June 12.—The chief
features of the commencement exer
cises at the Agricultural and Mechani
cal college was the address of the Hon.
Hilary A. Herbert, secretary of the na
vy, to the graduates. Preceding the
secretary’s remarks there were the us
ual addresses by college students and
professors. Secretary • Herbert was
warmly received. The secretary, in
the course of his remarks, said:
“Yonng gentlemen of the graduating
class: This is to yon and your friends
an occasion of exceeding interest In
a few hours you are to bid farewell to
your alma mater and the professors
who have so kindly aided and counsel
ed yon here, aud go out in the great
world to begin for yourselves a career.
In nautical phrase, each one of yon is
henceforward captain of his own ship.
“In the first place, let me advise yon
to carry with you into the world and
cherish in your hearts, the ■ friendships
you have made at college. Time and
again will the memory of the days
spent and the tasks accomplished with
in these walls inspire and prompt yon
to grapple with the problems that beset
yon and many will be the occasions
when the friends of your college days
will rejoice to lend yon a helping hand.
“I remember to have heard a college
bred man say that after some years of
experience it was his experience that
tbe meanest man he knew at college
was better than the best man he had
ever met in the outside world. Gentle
men, this fellow was dyspeptic. He
had not taken kindly to the world nor
the world to him. Do not, 1 beg of
you, fall into a mistake of that kind.
But, young ;rntlemen, beautiful and
hopeful as friendship is, you cannot in
this world rely for your own success on
the help of friends; you must count on
yourselves.
“Conditions have been changing rap
idly in our country during the whole
of'the century that is now drawing to
its close. Never did there open up be
fore any portion of mankind such op
portunities as our fathers enjoyed, and
never in the history of the world did
men achieve such results as have been
accomplished within these hundred
years. Forests have yielded up their
treasures; great cities have risen by the
seashore, by lake and riverside; towns
and ■ villages, homes, churches and
schools everywhere o;i the face of the
earth, and 67 OJO. tioO of acriv-, energet
ic, thrifty p -opm occupy the i ind. They
have crow a-m into every avenue that
promised th■; greatest success; they have
explored every field that gave signs of
most abundant tTuit.
"Our country is, however, still the
most prom.sing field of human effort;
and let me add, young gentleman, that
it the task of success for you is to be
more arduous man for your fathers,
the conditions are broader, life is more
intense and the prizes, when captured,
will be more brilliant, even than those
that were won by your fathers. Migh
ty among the nations of the earth, re
joicing in the proven prowess of its sol
diers and sailors, ready, willing and
able to defend the rights of the humb
lest of its citizens in any portion of
the globe.
"Its flag floats in all waters as the
emblem ot liberty, regulated by law,
and yet pursuing, as it does under Gro
ver Clwelaud the paths of peace with
its motto, ‘Equal and exact justice to
every American citizen under whatever
flag he may be, ’ ‘Equal and exact jus
tice from this nation to all nations of
the earth, great and small.’ This is the
government that is to protect all of our
citizens, while in the century that is
dawning upon ue you work out the
great problems of the future.”
Mr. Herbert then briefly discussed
two propositions, which, he said, gave
great cancern to pur earlier statesmen.
The first and fundamental question
was to the relative power of the general
and state governments. The, great
civil war settled it forever.
Another question that divided the
sections, north and south, was slavery.
That question, too, was settled by the
war. The laws of this government no
person dares to dispute except in the
courts. When last year a mob in the
name of labor laid violent hands on
property used in interstate commerce
the judicial department of the govern
ment raised its hand and the mob fled
away.
When recently, after much angry
discussion in congress and the public
prints abou* the income tax, .the su
preme court decided by a vote of only
one judge that the law was void, the
country acquiesced. There was never
a thought or a threat of resistance.
Never were more convincing proofs of
the power, the majesty of human gov
ernment. Men may question and they
are free to question the wisdom of con
gress or of the president, or the justice
or correctness of the decisions of tbe
supreme court. The government nev
ertheless stands supreme.
"You are fortunate,my young friends,
that your fathers have not left to you
as their'fathers did to them any unset-
tled fundamental question pregnant
with civil war.
"Permit me to express the hope that
none of you will leave this institution
vaunting yourself upon having gotten
away from the Bible lessons yon learn
ed at your mother’s knee ” *
The address closed with earnest ad
vice to the students to be honest with
themselves, and not be deceived with
the belief that they can be one thing
and seem another.
C U B A’S INDEPEND E N C E.
senor Francisco X trier S»ys He Would
Give All to See the Island Free.
New York, June 12.—Senor Fran
cisco Xazier Cisneros, a prominent and
wealthy Cuban who has arrived here,
when interviewed said:
“I fought in the last war, and man
aged the sending of expeditions, and
now I come to offer my services to the
Cuban revolutionary party in the new
•truggle for independence.
“I will gladly give all I possess to
see my fatherland independent of the
oppression of Spain. In the last war I
sent six expeditions, one from Colon
aud five from this country; the first in
the Mary Lowell, the second in the
Perritt, the third and fourth in the
yacht Anna and the fifth in the Hor
net. These expeditions cost an aver
age of (80,000 each.
“I was condemned to death three
times, but the Spaniards were satisfied
to let me live after confiscating my
property, valued at over (50,000. My
library, which cost over (15,000, was
sold for a song. This revolution is bet
ter organized than the last and I believe
that within two years I will see Cuba
free.
“If we are annexed to the United
States we will have our separate gov
ernment aS a state and will have time
to study the mercantile arts. Another
good thing would be that we will have
to support no army or navy, which we
would need if we were an independent
republic. As soon as Cube, is free for
eign labor and capital will rush there.
Cuba has 1,500,000 inhabitants, but can
sustain more than 10,000,000. The Cu
ban products will not be hampered.
Now the flour we use from the United
States goes to Spain first and comes
over charged with duties.
“I :.m here ready to go to Cuba when
my party calls me, but I do not know
yet if my work is to be done on the bat
tlefield or here, taking care of expedi
tions as I did in the last war. ”
WAR TO THE KNIFE.
The Coke Regions Will See a Lively Tus
sal Between Operators.
Clveland, June 13.—1 t now seems
probable that there will be war to the
knife in the coke regions. Mr. W. J.
Rainey of this city, the largest coke op
erator in the country, has defeated the
efforts of the coke operators to combine
for the purpose of advancing prices. In
an interview, Mr. Rainey said:
“Yes, it is true that I have refused to
join the syndicate, whose object is to
raise prices. In the first place, Ido not
believe in syndicates. I believe in every
one standing on his own foundation. I
am opposed to the workingmen com
bining for the purpose of defeating the
operators, and am likewise opposed to
the operators combin.ng for the pur
pose of defeating the men and to ad
vance prices. lam a firm believer in
fair compatition. ”
“Will your decision prevent the other
operators from forming such a combi
nation, and will your action defeat the
objects of the proposed syndicate?”
“I do not know that it will. They
have gone ahead in the past without
me. They can put the prices up to
where they please, but it will not make
much difference to me.”

Address on Currency.
RECUPERATION OF THE COUNTRY;
The Course of the Present Re
action and Recent ,
RESULT OF POLITICAL AGITATION.
Threatening the Subversion of Our Finan
cial System, But the Trouble is Being
Kollbved in a Large Measure.
Brunswick, Ga., June 12.—Follow
ing is the speech of President T. B.
Neal, delivered before the Georgia
Bankers’ association.
After picturing the recent panic and
of the country’s gradual recuperation
therefrom, President Neal said:
“That a reaction to this rebound has
already set in must be apparent to alt
That money on long time contracts has
again become too timid for large ven
tures is known to us all.
“That the present reaction, and that
our recent panic was caused by political
agitations, threatening the subversion
of our financial system, threatening a
revolution of our financial system I
have no doubt”
"We do oppose financial agitation,
because 'agitation agitation’ is not
medicine, but rank poison to finance!
Os all things, financial disease Require
cool, careful, deliberate, conservative
treatment! We believe that we must
have financial rest before we can have
full financial recuperation. We do not
believe that our country can have any
financial rest, nor any real financial
health, until it is settled so overwhelm
ingly as to destroy all doubts and estab
lish unquestioning confidence, that the
finances of the United States are to be
and remain on a basis recognized as
sound all over the civilized world!
"That the present basis of our finan
ces, the present standard of gold is
sound the world over no one denies.
That the free, unlimited and independ
ent coinage of silver at the rate of 16 to
1, by a law continuing such coin legal
tender for any amount, would disturb
our whole system is hardly debatable.
That such a law would immediately
raise the value of silver so that our gold
would not be immediately retired, is a
proposition so full of sanguine specula
tion and so void of any reasonable cal
culation that we cannot figure on it.
It would now seem that the use of
(400,000,000 of silver by the United
States in the last 30 years would have
kept up the price of silver better than
it has, if free coinage would now run it
up so high.
“No I We clearly foresee that the
first effect of such a law would be to
lose (625,000,000 of gold from our circu
lation—a terrific contraction —and that
in the name of inflation and under the
cry of ‘more money. ’
"We clearly perceive that practically
we would be upon the single silver ba
sis—that a gold dollar would buy (al
lowing even that silver would rise some
what) nearly if not quite two dollars in
silver.
“We forsee clearly that if a congress
and president were elected known to
favor such a law, withdrawing the
pledge of the government that the sil
ver dollar shall be equal to the gold
dollar, every dollar deposited in banks
would be demanded, and the crash
would come, even if finally the silver
dollar should become in its value equal
to the gold dollar. Gold would be
sought by every one having a savings
deposit—and would be hoarded, and ev
ery depositor would be trying to get his
deposit in gold and if that couldn't be
done, then in currency, in order to try
and buy the gold somewhere else if he
could get it at anything less than two
for one.”
In conclusion, he said:
“We recognize the fact that the only
strength of the extremists for silver in
our state consists in the want of an
elastic currency. The people want and
probably need better banking facilities.
Securities that are good in a local sense
but not available in general market
need a local currency. Local banks
can best judge local securities. The
farmer who needs ready money from
June to November might be a good cus
tomer for local banks. State banks or
ganized on sound basis would fill this
want.”
