Camp Northen, June 14.
Headquarters Co. A, 3dßeg’t. G. V.
Today was Governor’s Day and
Governor Atkinson and his staff re
viewed {he troops on the field.
Col. William E. Jones, command
ing the camp, prepared a royal re
past by the aid of his commissary
sergeant, which was highly enjoyed
by the visitors.
The Governor expressed himself as
highly pleased by the appearance,
drill and discipline of the troops.
The day was hot but everything
passed off pleasantly and the Rome
boys showed up proudly before the
commander-in-chief.
The Light Guards are installed into
camps and are under thorough dis
cipline.
Col. W. E. Jones, of the 6th regi
ment, is post commander and GJoly
Thomasson, commander of the third
regiment, are very popular men. Col.
Thomasson takes that interest in his
regiment that he is personally ac
t quainted with every man in his com
mand. He is well liked, pleasant,
affable and a courteous officer, besides
being well up in military matters.
There are thirteen companies here,
5 seven of the third and six of the
sixth regiment.
The boys have taken to military
life right along. The reveille sounded
at 4:20 a. m. and it was hard to get
the boys started at first, but after a
few minutes they were well awakened
and put up a good drill.
All are well at the present writing
and the chances are that they will
stay so, as the sanitary condition of
the camp is fine.
Lieutenant Williamson, of the
Cadets, was commander of the guard
yesterday and went at his duty like a
veteran. The Cadets put up a fine
appearanle and are quite popular.
Capt. Henry Stewart proves himself
an efficient officer.
Second Lieutenant Alfred S. Har
per is in command of the Light
Guards, and his experience at mili
tary schools proves beneficial. He
displays good knowledge of tactics
and discipline by the way he handles
his company. Capt. W. A. Patton,
First Lieutenant f. J. Simpson and
Horace King are expected down
today.
The weather is somewhat warm,
but as the work is all early in the
morning and late in the afternoon,
the boys get the benefit of the coolest
part of the day. The town is full of
visitors and the Rome boys hold
their own among the fair sex. Sev
eral Rome young ladies are expected
down.
The following is the roster of the
Light Guards with their camp

A Tough Character U.ea Hla Gun Freely
In Miaalnalppi.
Natchez, June 14 —At Natchez is
land plantation, a few miles below this
city, R. W. Dawson, a shanty boat
fisherman and all around touch char
acter, shot and killed Frank Macklin,
manager of the plantation, and a negro
woman, name not yet learned, and se
riously wounded a negro boy.
Dawson has gained much notoriety
on account of his connection with, a
coal black female denizen of Natchez
under-the-Hill. The negress left him
and went to work on the island planta
tion, whereupon Dawson moved his
boat to the island and opened a negro
gambling house and became such a
nuisance that Macklin ordered him
away. •
He refused to go, and in the alterca
tion that followed Dawson used a Win
chester and killed Macklin and the
woman almost instantly, and wounded
the boy and made his escape, carrying
the rifle. A tugboat brought the bodies
to Natchez, and a coroner’s inquest is
now being held.
Macklin was highly respected in this
city and the feeling against Dawson
runs high. Officers are searching for
him and there may be further blood
shed when he is overtaken. A later re
port from the island states that the
wounded boy had died and that Wil
liam Conti, brother-in- law of Maoklin,
had come upon Dawson and before the
latter could use his Winchester, shot
him dead.

REHABILITATE SILVER.
M, Allard Say. That Is the Only Remedy
For the Depression.
Brussels, June 14.—M. Alphonse Al
lard, who was a delegate from Belgium
to the international monetary confer
ence of 1892, in an address to the Con
servative association, asserted that the
protective policy of Belgium is the re
sult of the currency difficulty, which he
declared had divided the world into
hostile camps and developed changes
absolutely opposed to the interests of*
the gold countries and in favor of the
silver currency nations.
M. Allard also said that the fall in
the prices of conditions is due to over
production, but to the scarcity of money
caused by the demonetization of silver
in 1873.
Though the movement in favor of
prohibitive duties on commodities is
the natural outcome of the protection
of gold, such duties afford a remedy
that is purely temporary. The only
real remedy, continued M. Allard, for
the industrial and commercial depres
sion was to rehabilitate silver. That
the world was realizing this was shown
in the widespread bimetallic movement.

AWFUL EXPLOSION.
A Building Blown to Atoms by a Burst

THERE WERE LIVES WERE LOST
j
About Forty-Five Persons
Were in the Structure
WHEN THE CATASTROPHE OCCURRED.
The Dark Disaster at Fall River—Many of
the Bodies Recovered Are Not
Recognizable.
fall River, Mass., June 14.—The
worst catastrophe that has visited this
city since the Granite mill fire, occur
red at the Langley harness shop, a 4-
story building on County street. A
new boiler exploded in the basement of
the building, blowing out the entire
end of the structure and allowing the
upper floors to settle into a mass of
ruins.
There were about 45 persons at wouk
in the shop, and only nine are known
to have escaped alive. These were
Henry J. Langley, the proprietor,George
E. Davol, the foreman, and two girls
named Champagns and Deserosiers and
three other employes.
The flames communicated with the
ruins soon after the explosion and they
began to burn briskly. The firemen
rushed to the scene and exerted heroic
efforts in their endeavor to rescue the
imprisoned workpeople.
Shrieks from the girls in the- ruins
were mingled with the agonized cries
of their friends, who had hurried to the
scene when the first news of the catas
trophe spread. Ambulance calls were
sent out hurriedly and every physician
who could be reached was sent at once
to the scene. The offices and the
houses in the vicinity were turned into
temporary hospitals.
At 9 o’clock the badly charred and
scarcely recognizable body of a woman
had been taken from the ruins. The
fire had been quenched, but it was still
smoldering and the work of rescuing
went on with great difficulty. A 9:30
o’clock it was known that nine had es
caped. There were over 4f> persons em
ployed, the most of whom were wom
en. Machinist Tripp was among those
who escaped A girl named Jalbert
and her sister-in-law, who worked side
by side on th# third floor, also escaped,
one unhurt and the other with slight
bruises
The Jalbert girhr say that there was
a terrible report, followed by a shock;
the roof seemed to lift and then fall,
completely demolishing the whole build
ing. She and her sister-in-law were
thrown into the middle of the road.
The latter was badly cut about the face
and arms.
The names of those injured, as far as
known, are:
Alice Trembley, Mattie Deserorsiers,
Leah Horn ton, Adele Dube, Ida Lepage,
Henry Langley, George E Davol, En
gineer Tripp, Foreman Warren.
Mr. Langley is in a critical condition
and has been removed to his home for
treatment. The shock broke in the
windows of the Stafford mill and in
jured several of the operatives. The
harness shop is a total wreck, but the
flames are under control.
The badly charred remains of Robert
Murray were recovered.
The Star music hall has been made a
morgue where Medical Examiner Do
lan, with a corps of physicians, are in
stalled. The engine was situated in
the northwest corner of the
and was of 50 horsepower.
At 10:30 it was estimated that there
were at least 30 still in the ruins.
The third body recovered was that of
a woman. It could not be recognized.
Mayor Green announces at 11 o’clock
that ten persons have been killed and
three are still missing. Four have been
taken from the ruins. There a number
of injured and several may die. The
fire is now about out, but the building
is so badly wrecked that the search of
the ruins is progressing very slowly.

THE GAP LEFT OPEN
For the Festive Fereigner to Become an
American CLizsn
BY THE BIG ATLANTA EXPOSITION
Congress Passed an Act of
Exemption For Them
FROM PROVISIONS OF CONTRACT
•
And Alien Laborer’s Law For a Period of
One Year After the Exposition
is Over.
Washington, June 14.—The promul
gation of a treasury department circu
lar carrying into effect the joint resolu
tion of congress excepting from the op
erations of the alien contract labor law
all foreigners brought to this country
by foreign exhibitors or owners of con
cessions at the Cotton States and Inter
national exposition at Atlanta, has call
ed attention to the results of a similar
resolution passed on behalf of the Chi
cago World’s Fair. Both resolutions
authorized such foreigners to remain in
this country one year after the close of
the exposition, but after the expiration
of that that time should they still re
main in this country they were made
subject to all of the prficesses and pen
alties applicable to aliens coming in vi
olation of the alien contract labor law.
In neither case, however, did con
gress make any appropriation or pro
vision for the arrest and deportation of
snch persons, and in the case of the
Chicago fair none was ever apprehend
ed or deported.
The exact number who remained in
the country in violation of the law is
not known, but it is believed that not
more than three-fourths of the whole
number ever returned to the countries
whence they came.
Owing to the want of funds, the gov
ernment took no steps to ascertain how
many remained, nor are they likely to
do so after the close of the Atlanta ex
position. The necessary result will be
that many foreigners will take this op
portunity to come to the United States
with the intention of remaining, know
ing that congress has made no provis
ion for their deportation. ,

be favorable to Senator Brice’s return
to the United States senate to succeed
himself.
ONLY WANTED PEACE.
The European Powers Did Not Want to
Promote Any Interest of China.
Victoria, B. C., June 14.—Letter's to
the King Tai from Shanghai give the
news that the Russian, German and
French ministers in Peking paid a joint
visit to Li Yamen on May
23 and presented the following state
ment:
“The course taken by the three pow
ers in giving advice to Japan by sug
gesting that she should not perma
nently occupy Liao Tung peninsula,
was dictated merely by the desire of
those powers tor a lasting peace in the
Orient, but not to promote any interest
of the Chinese government or on ac
count of their sympathy with China.
The Chinese government is therefore
warned not to misunderstand the object
of the three powers and thus to rely
upon them in the future in connection
with affairs, the settlement of which is
now pending. ”

THE MARKET RISING.
Remarkable Advance In Iron and Steel.
Its Importance to the South.
Baltimore, June 14 —The Manufac
turers’ Record says:
For the first time in several years the
iron an steel trade of this country, and
indeed of the world, is again showing
advancing prices, together with in
creased production and consumption.
The developments since the beginning
of this year, and more particularly
within the past three months, have
been of a character, while predicted
for three years, have taken the trade
by surprise and turned pessimists into
optimists.
No part of the country is more vitally
interested in this rise in the values and
increased consumption of iron and steel
products than the south. Ever since
the development, or it is more just to
say, the partial development of its vast
resources of iron ore and coal it has be
come a factor in the trade second to no
part of the country. At present, ow
ing to the extremely low prices which
have ruled, the continued development
of its iron and steel resources has been
temporarily at a standstill, and some
enterprises have been unable to produce
at prices which would enable them to
continue in operation.
With the increase these can again be
come profitable and others can start.
Furnaces now idle will go into blast
and mines from which they draw their
supplies will be opened. These will
give employment to many men, and
they, in turn, will require food and
clothing, thus benefittiug the agricul
turalist and merchant.
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES
Senator Fquire Di*cu«se* the Relative
Strength of Candidates.
New York, June 14—Watson C.
Squire, vice presidential possibility,
and United States senator from the
state of Washington, is in this city. In
an interview on the political situation
he said:
“Harrison, McKinley, Reed and Al
lison are all able men. Mr. Harrison,
b rides being interesting as an ex-presi
dent, is also conspicuous b icaase of his
ability. He is always admirable in tiie
thought and phraseology of his public
addresses and utterances. Mr. Allison
is one of the ablest of Republican lead
ers, a conscientious man and one ex
tremely well versed in public affairs.
Governor McKinley is well liked by
the workingmen, a charming speaker
and a thoroughly sympathetic man.
“What the next year will bring forth
in the way of a settlement of the money
question no one can forecast. The Fit
ty-fonrth congress has yet to sit. Mr.
Reed is an able parliamentarian and a
most brilliant man. As a tactician he
is the peer of any man living. It is
possible that some concessions may be
made. Mr. Cieveia id may not take
the stand of an extremist.”

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
NO HOPE FOR SPAIN.
Is the Tenor of a Proclamation Just
Issued
ADDRESSED TO THE CUBAN PEOPLE.
Martinez de Campos is Cruel
to His Soldiers,
NOT ALLOWING THEM ANY REST
Ami They Are Perishing From Hunger,
While the Filibusters Are Landing
Prepared For Fight.
Tampa, Fla., June 14.—The follow
ing proclamation, translated, has just
been received from Cuba:
To the Cuban People—Maximo Gomez
is in command with 2,000 men. The Mar
quis of Santo Lucia, with the cry of Cuba
Libre, has joined him with 1,500 men.
Twenty of the most noted gentlemen of
Puerto Principe accompany the worthy
sou of Camaguay. There is no, hope for
Spain.
Remidos has protected the landing of
Ruloff and his 280 men. He brings muni
tions of war and 5.000 pounds of dyna
mite. The landing of Yero and Serapin
Sanchez is confirmed. They bring Amer
ican pyrotechnics. Santa Spirito has al-"'
ready seven armed bands.
General Maceo, with his 6,000 machete
ros, is destroying and burning everything
which he finds in his way. Liberal Span
iards have nothing to fear. Lives and
property will be protected while assist
ance is not rendered to the government.
If Spain had hunted for a general whose
mission was to annihilate the Spanish
army, no one would have been better suit
ed than Martinez de Campos who does
not let poor and tired soldi) rs have any
rest. They die of hunger, for they are
without food or clothes under a burning
sun in this deadly climate. The autono- ■
mist party says that an insurrectionary
movement is necessary to force the gov
ernment to favor autonomy. Shame to
these false prophets who live dn misera
ble bread that the despot throws to them.
Soldiers from Mahon, a Spanish province,
have gone over to the insurgent ranks.
The daily expenses of Spaniards run up
to $150,600. Martinez Campos has lost al
ready 10 000 men. Soldiers in the city of
Manzanillo die in the streets of fever and
dysentery? Famine spreads through the
provinces of Cuba. In Baracoa and
Guantanamo there are 18,000 insurgents
in arms. Liberal Spaniards, the sons of
Riogo and Pinto, hurrah for liberty. To
arms and down with the metropolitan
government and tyranny. Hurrah for
Maximo Gomez. (Signed)
Revolutionary Committee of Havana.
To Prevent Filibustering.
Washington, June 14—The Raleigh
has sailed from New York for Key
West, Fla. That point will be her
headquarters, and she will patrol the
Florida coast with her launches and
boats to prevent Cuban filibustering
expeditions. It is expected that the
Raleigh will remain in that station for
a month, and if at the end of that time
it is still thought necessary to have a
warship to assist in preventing filibus
tering expeditions, it is expected that
another vessel will be sent to relieve
her, as owing to the extreme hot weath
er it would be severe service to keep
one ship in Florida waters constantly.
They Have Landed.
New York, June 14.—A special to
The Herald from Havana, Cuba, says
information has just reached here to
the effect that the Cuban filibustering
expedition on the tug George W. Childs,
under the command of General Carlos
Roloff and General Serafin Sanchez,
which slipped away from the Florida
coast on last Thursday, has landed the
party with all their arms and munitions
of war at a point near Aguadores in
the province of Santiago de Cuba.
More Spanish Troops.
Tampa, Fla., June 14—Cuban ad
vices received here are to the effect that
11,000 Spanish troops will land at Neu
vitas, on the northern coast of Cuba,
being the second instalhn nt of troops
dispatched to Campos by Hie home gov
ernment.
A GIGANTIC TRUST.
On. Will Be Formed to Control the Wood
Pulp Paper Making luduotry.
New York, June 14.—The Presssays
a great trust is forming which will
have for its object the entire control of
the wood pulp paper making industry
in the United States. Nearly all thr
prominent paper men are at the New
Netherland hotel, where a meeting is
to be held for the purpose of mapping
out a plan of campaign.
Among the principal members of the
trust are Messrs. T. S. Coolidge of the
St. George Paper company, F. H. Parks • j
of Glens Falls, George Jerome of Ban- ’
gor. Me., H. M. Knowles of Boston. R.
M. Burbank bf the Burbank Paper com
pany, and Hugh J. Chisholm. They
are extremely reticent concerning their
plans, though they admit that they in
tend to combine and control the paper
business. It is claimed that a combi
nation of interests will enable makers
to manufacture paper with greater
economy and consequently more profit,
although it is said to bj no part of the
idea to raise prices.
Rochester, June 14—Efforts to set
tle the Frederick Douglass will contest
out of court have failed and Mrs. Na
than Sprague, a daughter of Douglass,
will commence a suit to enforce het
rights. The action will be against Mrs
DuiTln's, the widow, her brother and
Lewis H. Douglass, who are the admin
istrators of the estate. It is claimed by'
Mrs. Sprague that by the most recent
arrangements Mrs. Douglass is to get
about all of the estate that is in sight.
