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.

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.

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.

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. The Re*lgn»tloß Aecepnru. San Francisco, June 12.—At a meet ing of the university regents the resig nation of E. E.

Y., June 12.—The Rome Citizen, which has been conducted as a semi-weekly newspaper, has begun publication as an afternoon paper. ROME, GA.. THURSDAY. JUNE 13. 1895. 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 and One Woman and Child Killed. Stuttgart, Ark., June 12.—A fish ing party, consisting of a Mr. Thomp 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.

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.” THE ROANOKE COLLEGE.

Neal Deal Delivers an 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.” NUR SERYMEN ME ET/ The National Association Begins Its An nual Session In Indianapolis. Indianapolis.
