ESTABLISHED 1887.
REAL ESTATE DEAL.
The Biggest Made Since the Olden
Days.
LARGE AMOUNT OF CITY. PROPERTY
Which Changed Hands Yester
day Morning.
ROME FIRE-INSURANCE COMPANY
Property Falls Into the Hands of That Pro
gressive aud Enterprising Business
Man, Capt. J. L. Bass,
i Yesterday the biggest deal was
made that has happened io Rome
real estate circles since the days of
the old Rome Land company.
The Tribune, as usual, is the first
to give the public the information of
that big transaction. Capt. J. L.
Bass, that enterprising and’progress
ive business man, closed the trade
with the Rome Fire Insurance com
pan y for all its assets, that company
being in liquidation.
This property includes two pieces of
property on Broad street, near his
place of business, and some valuable
residence property in the city, for
which quite a sum was paid cash
down.
Through this deal the Rome
Fire Insurance company is benfitted
by the transaction, in being able to
convert all its assets into cash and
close up its affairs for a fair consider
ation.
It is understood that the price paid
was in the neighborhood of $25,000,
which makes the deal an important
one just at this time. This indicates
that the business pulse of Rome still
beats regularly in spite of the hard
times.
It is considered a good trade for the
company, and the present owner be
ing able to carry it, stands a fair
chance in the future to realize a good
thing from the investment.

considerable nourishment in the form
* of beef peptinoids, which is a very
highly concentrated food, already di
gested, and which he has’retained de
spite the enfeebled condition of his
system.
At a late hour tonight he is still
resting easily, with fair prospects for
his continual improvement. His phy

is only a question of time and care
ful nursing.

THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
THE CHINESE LOAN.
Americans May Famish Some of the
Funds to Pay the War Debt.
Washington, June 21.—Officials of
the Chinese legation say that the Amer
ican capitalists who are negotiating in
China to secure a loan of 200,000,000
taels, which China is about to pay Ja
pan, are by no means urgiug a vague
or futile suit, and that they stand quite
as good a chance of securing the loan
as any other money representatives.
Some misapprehension has been cre
ated by a cable statement that China
has closed her loan in Paris.
It is explained by the officials that
this loan is a subordinate one of 16,-
000,000 taels to cover the surrender of
the Liao Tung peninsula. As Rus
sia and France prevailed on Japan
to make this surrender, thus yielding
the permanent occupancy of Port Ar
thur, these two countries undertook to
guarantee the loan of 16,000,000 taels,
which reimburses Japan for this par
ticular transaction. But the main in
demnity of 200,000,000 taels carries no
guaranty by Russia and France, and it
is this main loan which is still open
and to which the attention of Ameri
can investors is attracted.
There is much interesting speculation
as to the result of the loamif it is se
cured by the American parties. It is
said that the first result would be the
shipment of an unprecedented amount
of silver. But as China’s bonds are
payable in gold, the ultimate result
would be to bring back gold or the sil
ver paid to Japan. It is pointed out
also interest on the entire loan will not
exceed $5,000,000 annually, that the
Chinese customs rects of $23,000,000
will readily meet the interest charged
t and provide a sinking fund for redemp •
tion of bonds which will probably run
for 20 years.

GOING INTO PRACTICE.
Japan Will Show Off Her Warships and
Train Bar Men Better.
San Francisco, June 21.—Private
letters received in this city state that
- as soon as Japan’s troubles in Formosa
1 shall have been settled, Admiral Ito
I will be sent to San Francisco with the
1 Matsushima and two or three other ves
sels of his fleet.
. The Matsushima is a singlemasted
cruiser of about the tonnage of the
Olympia and as Admiral Ito’s flagship,
■ went through hard fighting at the Yalu
I and off the roadstead of Wei Hai Wei.
One of her probable consorts here is
the Maniwa, which is a sister ship of
the Charleston, and which began last
summer’s hostilities in the far east by
sinking the transport Kow Shing with
1 all on board. Mr. Koya, the Japanese
consul general in this city, says he has
' heard of the matter, but he caunot fix
. a date for the coming of his country’s
, warships, nor verity the statement
that Admiral Ito will command them.
Owing to the unsettled questions in
I the far east he thought Japan would
[' not be able to spare any of her fighting
. fleet during the summer months, but
later on several ships might come.
Some of tne objects of the cruise would
be to show the sort of vessels that Ja
pan has in her modern navy and to
, give their men experience in long voy
ages.
MINERS AT WAR.
Fightin" Still Goes on Between the Men
Who Met Under the Ground.
’ Rico, Col., June 21.—The war be
tween miners of the Rico Aspen and
1 Enterprise mines still continues. It
began Tuesday when the men were
driving on a vein and the miners from
both mines met on disputed territory.
The dispute is one that was fought out
in the courts two years ago between
the same companies. This time the
Rico Aspen people tried to drive the
miners out. The Enterprise people
. tried to smoke the others out by ex
ploding giant powder and dynamite.
About a dpzen men were engaged. This
1 went on for about six hours.
Physicians have been called to the
scene, although no serious injury has
yet been done. Several men were over
come by the smoke and one was badly
cut about the face Guards have been
. placed on duty, but the fighting with
explosives goes on as at first.
The Rico-Aspen men are taking out
' ore and the Enterprise men are smok
ing them The ore in the disputed ter
ritory is worth S3OO a ton.

ROME, GA., SATURDAY. JUNE 22, 1895.
MR. OLNEY’S DEMAND
Spain Owes This Government a Milion
and a Half.
TEE CUBAN LEADERS DELIGHTED-
What They Say They Would
Most Like to See.
THEIR ENEMY FORCED 10 PAY UP.
As it Would Help Their Cause in the Pres
ent Financial Straits That Are
Forced Upon Spain.
x-hiladelphia, June 21.—The news
that Secretary Olney had instructed
the American minister at Madrid to no
tify the Spanish government that the
money due on the Mora claim would
have to be promptly paid over, has
caused the profoundest gratification to
the Cuban colony in this city. One of
the leaders said:
“We accepted the order of the state
department that no overt act against
Spain must be committed by Americans
or others upon American soil very com
placently, as we have always endeav
ored to so conduct ourselves as to dis
arm oomplaint on that score.
"It has been our care to avoid en
tangling the United States, the home
of our adoption, with Spain, and the
fact that We have been very circum
spect, m best knbwn by the fact that
with an the of her agents
in thU country there have been so few
compTaGits with any substantial basis
maae against us in this particular and
Beoxeittry Qlney’s demand that Spain
shall pay over the $1,506,000 due on the
Mora claim, la ohe that Spain cannot
construe into an act that is done to fa
vor us, though it is most timely in our
interest.
“How do you people expect to profit
by the order?” he was asked. “Be
cause,” Was the reply, “Spain Is already
pressed to the utmost financially, and
every dollar she is forced to take or,
withhold from the supression of the
fight in Cuba would directly help us in
any case, but there is ground for the
belief that Spain will play her dilatory
game again, and in that case the gov
ernment will seize Havana, as she
would be justified in doing, and hold it
until she pays herself the amount due.
If that comes to pass, and it is certain
ly within the bounds of probability,
the moral effect of the act in Cuba
would be such that she could never
again resume control of the island.
Revolution has been from the start a
winning one for us. You do not get
half the truth here. Even so apparent
ly well settled a thing as the death of
of Jose Marti, our president, is all an
absolute untruth. On the contrary,
unless some private advices we have
are altogether misleading, Marti is yet
alive and well, and is on his way to
this country. In fact, many of the
best informed leaders here will be
deeply disappointed if Joseph Marti
does not in person address his fellow
countrymen in this vicinity in the
course of the next week or ten days.
QUESADA’S MISSION.
Looked Into Spain’a Neutrality Law* aa
Well an Raised Tro ops.
New York, June 21.—The World says
General Rafael Quesada is moving vig
orously towards Cuba. His first expe
dition of 250 men, chiefly enlisted in
in Brooklyn, Jersey City, Coney Island
and Perth Amboy, has gone in two
companies for the south. The main
body went by the Pennsylvania rail
road to Norfolk, Va., and the rest were
ticketed through to Tampa, Fla. These
points will be the temporary base of
operations until the recruits are con
veyed to the place of final departure
and embarkation for Cuba. The pur
pose of General Quesada’s recent mis
sion in the south is now more fully re
vealed.
Besides extending the Cuban system
of raising troops through the gulf
states, General Quesada made a care
ful investigation of Spanish violation
of the neutrality laws. The result is
several petitions destined for the Uni
ted States government, which protest
against the wholesale usurpation of
American rights inside the three mile
short limit. The most formidable pro
test, it is said, has been sent to the
state department, and embodies the
facts concerning the alleged boardings
of vessels and yachts on the Florida
coast.

The Third Day of the Republican! Pom-
Wow in Cleveland Wound
Up yesterday.
CLEVELAND, June 21-.—The third and
closing day’s session of the Republican
national league’s annual convention
found the delegates harmonious as well
as weary. The silver agitation had;
been at white heat all the week, but
the unanimous action of the committee
on resolutions to report no resolutions,
had ended the contest in a surprising
degree. It was known to all that both
sides, so far as members of the commit
tee were concerned, had agreed to sup
port the Patton substitute for all reso
lutions, or proposed "Address to the
People.”
While exhausting all other means to
prevent the silver men from offering a
minority report and carrying the fight
into the convention, it was found to be
unconstitutional for the National
League of Republican Clubs to make
any declaration of principles that
would affeot the party, and the Patton
substitute for all was agreed upon as a
way out of the dilemma.
While many were dissatisfied, both
with the plan to ignore the silver ques
tion and also the substitute, which ig
nored all questions in order to ignore
silver, yet it was generally understood
it would be out of order to say any
thing or do anything that would reopen
the old agitation. It was therefore set
tled that the report of the compromise
resolutions was to be adopted without
debate, and the contest was limited to
the selection of a secretary to succeed
A. B. Humphrey.
Several names had already been pre
sented to the convention for that office
and the morning hours were consumed
in listening to their respective claims
and in attending to other routine mat
ters. Many delegates left on the morn
ing trains and more would have gone
but for the McKinley reoeption. In
order to hold the crowd till Governor
McKinley arrived, the committee on
arrangements announced excursions on
the lake and all sorts of attractions for
recreation and entertainment.
The assembling of the convention for
the day’s session was delayed until al
most noon by the meetings of the offi
cers of state leagues, the new executive
board, the committee on league and oth
er organizations engaged tn routine bu
siness. The old executive committee
was also engaged during the forenoon
closing up its business. Meantime,
while the baud was entertaining the
waiting crowd at Music Hall, the lead
ing antisilver men were in conference
on the Patton substitute for the usual
set of resolutions
Many autisilver leaders who were
not members of the much abused com
mittee on resolutions were not inclined
to be bound by the compact that the
committee had entered into in order to
extricate itself. None were able, how
ever, to suggest any plan that would
prevent a minority report and the pre
cipitating of a fight on the floor of the
convention.
The antisilver members of the com
mittee insisted that they had made the
best possible choice of two evils and
urged the delegates to stand by the
Patton substitute rather than bring
about a worse result than its adoption.
The silver leaders went about telling
all their supporters to keep quiet in the
convention and let the antisilver men
fight it out among themselves if the
silver question was reopened on the
floor of the convention by an effort of
the adopted resolutions or otherwise.
A feature of the meeting of the dele
gation was the presentation of a silver
souvenir of the convention to Miss
Frownie Knowlton, the “daughter of
the delegation.” MissKnowlton is from
Van Buren, Ark.
She came with the delegation and at
tends all sessions of the convention, al
ways bearing the colors at the head of
the Arkansas delegation. She caused
the cheering of the delegation always
as it entered the hall. The Pennsylva
nia delegation held a meeting and de
cided to stand by the platform as re
ported by the committe on resolutions.
This action had its effect on the New
Yorkers and others who were inclined
to fight the Patton substitute.
The usual cheering of leading Repub
licans was indulged in as they entered
the hall. Although many had gone
home. Music hall was filled when Gen
eral McAlpin, the new president, called
the convention to order at 11 o’clock.
The persistence with which General
McAlpin commanded order was com
mended with repeated cheers. The sil
ver men were, howWer, displeased.
They claimed that nominations for sec
retary had dosed. Chairman McAlpin,
however, had the states called again,
and the name of M. J. Bowling was
presented by Minnesota and seconded
by other states, and also a number of
rpeeches seconding the nomination for
secretary were made.
It had been thought that J. G. Byrnes,
the silver advocate from Denver, would
be elected. The antisilver men were
accused with holding a conference dur
ing the night and agreed on M, J. Dow
ling of Minnesota. They insisted that
nominations should have been closed
at night and the ruling of General Ma.
Aipm was an arbitrary one against
their favorite.
After much, skirmishing M. J. Dow
ling was elected secretaiy and was later
made unanimous.
The committee on resolutions report
ed the Patton- “Address to the People,”
which was adopted without debate.
This ended- all, the silver agitation
and agreement of the contending fac
tions to have no financial fight on the
floor of the convention was carried
through. The result was greeted with
applause.

ASSIGNMENTS READY.
The Class of 1895 In the Naval Academy
Looking For Flachs.
Washington, June 21.—1 tis stated
that the academy board at the Naval
academy has made up its assignment
of the graduates who have just com
pleted the six years’ course, and that
the navy department is merely waiting
to see whether there may be any casu
alties between this and J.uly 1 before
promulgating the assignments to the
several corps of the navy under the re
cent law.
The surplus cadets of the line, of
whom there are a number this’year,
may be assigned to the engineer corps
if vacancies exist there, provided they
show fitness for the position of assist
ant engineer. It so happens that there
are a number of vacancies in the engi
neer corps this year and there is a
scramble for them by those cadets who
failed of appointment to the line. The
line division class now numbers 34 and
the engineer division five. Thus far
there are only 20 vacancies in the line
and one in the marine corps, so there
will still remain 13 cadets, for whom
there are no vacancies.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Int he Contest For Seats In the Next
Confess.
TAKING OF TESTIMONY TOO LATE.
The Belknap-McGann Case
From Illinois
BRINGS THE UNUSUAL APPEARANCE.
Aud on the Decision Hinges the Settlement
of Several Cases In the Louisiana
Delegation..
Washington, June contest
ed election case of Belknap vs. Mc-
Gann from the Third congressional
district of Illinois, is expected by the
officials of the house to afford a test of
the elections prescribing the time in
which contest testimony may be taken.
It appears that the testimony in this
ease is now being taken; whereas, ac
cording to the law which has hereto
fore been recognized as controlling in
such matters, the time when it could
be properly taken expired more than a
month ago.
The statutes allow the contestant 30
days after the declaration of the result
in which to prepare and serve notice of
his intention to contest and the con
testees the same length of time in
which to make answer. After that 90
days are given in which to take testi
mony. This gives five months all told
for the proceeding. The records in the
office of the clerk of the house show
that the result of the last congressional
election was officially announced on
Dec. 17, or more than six months ago.
When the returns of the- contest are
received it will be optional with the
clerk to- either open aud have them
printed as in other cases where the law
has been complied with or to refer
them to the house without having them
printed, and then it is with the house
to say what shall be done.
The constitution makes the house the
judge of the qualifications of its own
members and it can ignore the law if
so disposed or modify. The question
has never been tested and the course of
the house will be followed with consid
erable interest. The returns of the
election from the Third district show
that McGann received 15,356 and Belk
nap 15,3'.’5. Certain of the Louisiana
cases may present a somewhat similar
problem.
In some of the districts in that state
in which there are contests there has
been a delay beyond that contemplated
by the law in taking testimony, but
the delay was the result of an under
standing between the parties at inter
est, a postponement being agreed upon
on account of the prevalence of small-'
pox in some of the places it was neces
sary to visit in securing evidence. So
far as is known here there was no
agreement concerning the delay in the
Illinois case.
TRYING TO ROB INDIANS.’
An Effort to Secure n Valuable Island In
Alaska by Prospectors.
Port Townsend, Wash., June 21.
An effort is being made to take from a
tribe of Indians, called the Metlakaht
las, an island in Alaska which in 1887
was ceded to them by the United States
government. The island is in south
eastern Alaska and is known as An
nette island. The natives have im
proved the land, erected public build
ings, churches, saw mills and tilled the
soil. *
A few months ago prospectors who
were going up the coast had occasion to
land on the island for a few hours’ rest,
and one of them discovered a gold
quartz ledge. The men immediately
staked out claims and applied to the
government for miners’ patents. The
Indians entered a protest, which was
favorably considered by the depart
ment, and the miners have since taken
an appeal, and if money and influence
can overrule the Indians, mining oper
ations will be commenced.,
