ESTABLISHED 1887. HOT TURKEY ROAST —. •_ A Resolution Introduced in the House by Mr. Walker. RECENT OUTRAGES ARE CONDEMNED Mr, Turner Objected to Printing the Petition. DEFERRED TO FOREIGN COMMITTEE r Active Preparations for the Assembling; Next Tuesday of the Republican National Committee. Washington, Dec. 6. When the • house met, Messrs. Terry (Dem., Ark.) and Boatner (Dem., La.) belated mem bers, were formally sworn in and a com mittee to! pass upon members’ mileage account was appointed. Mr. Baker (Rep., N. H.) asked unan imous consent for the immediate con sideration of a resolution calling on the secretary of agriculture to report to the house whether he had expended the whole or any part of the appropriation made by the last congress for the dis tribution of farmers’ bulletins, but Mr. McMillan (Dem., Tenn.) objected. Mr. Walker (Rep., Mass.) offered a petition in the form of a resolution in behalf of the naturalized Armenians of the United States, nine-tenths of whom, he said, lived in his district, and re quested that it be printed in the record. After reciting the alleged oppression and outrages of the Turkish government, it concluded: Resolved, That the people of the United States, through their representatives in congress assembled, hereby express their deepest abhorrence and condemnation of the outrages thus committed on their American fellow citizens, as well as on other Christian subjects in Turkey. Resolved, further, That this house, com posed of the immediate representatives of the American people, pledge its support to the government in every measure justified by international law and a common hu manity to vindicate the rights of our fel low citizens, of their families in Turkey and to hinder and prevent, as far as prac ticable, the continuance of the outrages and massacres in that land. Mr. Turner (Dem., Ga.) objected to printing the petition in The Rocord, and it was referred to the ommittce on foreign affairs, after which, at 12:30 o’clock, the house adjourned until next Monday. Will Be Decided Next Tuesday. Washington, Dec. 6.—Active prepa rations for the assembling next Tuesday of the Republican national committee to select a time and place for the na tional convention, are making. The executive committee of 11 members meets on Monday night, and the full committee will be called to order by Chairman Carter, at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning, in the banquet hall of the Ar lington hotel. Large delegations are expected from the cities seeking to se cure the convention, viz: Pittsburg, San Francisco, Chicago and St. Louis. But while these are the main contestants, New York state will have a delegation sent to the convention, with Saratoga ns the convention place. The most considerable delegation yet here is that representing the interests of Governor McKinley, it includes Messrs. 'Joseph P. Smith, Ex-Repre sentative Thompson of Ohio; General William Osborne of Boston; Powell Clayton of Arkansas, and other well known men. William M. Hahn the national committeeman from Ohio, and Major Charles Dick ex-state chairman of Ohio, also will be here. Hon. Mark Hanna of Cleveland in tended to come, but is detained by the illness of his wife. The party make no concealment of their puipose to look after the interests of Governor McKin ley as the Ohio candidate for the presi dency. Mr. Smith, one of the most ac tive men of the delegation, said: “We have no plans to submit, and are not favoring oue city as against an other. But the candidacy of Governor McKinley is fully understood the coun try over, and we are here, without any request from him, to look after Ohio’s choice. The state is absolutely united, and all talk of division has passed away. The national committee meetings will be open when the .claims of the various cities are presented. After that the committee will go into secret session. The first business to be passed on is the resolution of Committeeman Payne of Wisconsin for a change in the basis of representation to the convention, the proposed basis being proportioned to the Republican vote cast for president in the last presidential election. The res olution was introduced by Mr. Payne and seconded by Mr. Hahn of Ohio. It was last discussed in Louisville in May, 1893, and was then laid on the table to be taken up at the meeting next Tuesday. There are three ways of dealing with it, namely, to adopt it, to vote it down, or to refer it to the national convention. The last course is likely to be taken. San Francisco has been exerting much activity and influence of late to secure the convention. The main points being urged against going to the coast are that the telegraph service would not be suffi cient, and that the difference of three hours in time would be detrimental to the afternoon press of the east during day sessions, and to the morning press during night sessions. Pittsburg’s ad vantages are being urged with equal vigor. Senator Quay has £n influential circle of friends in the committee, .and he is urging the choice of Pittsburg as a personal request. On the question of date there is a di vision of sentiment between June and September, but the prevailing impres sion is that there will be an adherence to Jthe custpm^of. a June conventior THE ROME TRIBUNE. Against tins it Is being urged that, there should be a short “90 days’ campaign,” with the least disturbance of business. This is met by the statement that even with a June convention, the cartfpaign does not begin until September, and that it is needless to keep the country in suspense until autumn. FOUNd TRUE BILLS.

The Franklinton cotton mill, which was completed last month, started up Monday. CUBANS ON THE MESSAGE. Palma Objects to the President’s Describ ing American Sympathy as Sentiment. New York, Dec. 6. —The portions ol President Cleveland’s message on ths Cuban question evoked lively comment at the headquarters of the revolutionary junta in this city. Delegate Estrada Palma objected to the president’s de scribing American sympathy with the Cubans as sentimental. Mr. Palma felt that the president’s views on the Cuban question were pos sibly influenced by the Spanish Minis ter in Washington and by the United States consul general at Havana. “Mr. Cleveland’s neutrality is all we can hope for,” he continued, “and we are thankful that he did -not see fit to bring up the precedent of General Grant’s po sition and < utterances. ” Mr. Palma added that the hopes of Cubans every where centered upon the favorable ac tion of ftie new American congress. Horatio Rubens, counsel for the Cu ban party, considered the president’s at titude as not only sympathetic, but as indicating that he realizes the import ance of the insurrection, and is ready to act in the matter, when the proper mo ment arrives, in the manner most favor able to the Cuban cause.

Atlanta, Dec. 6.—Mr. Boynton, chair man of the finance committee of the house, this morning moved a reconsider ation of the vote by which the confeder ate soldiers’ pension measure was passed yesterday afternoon.

He emphasized the lack of funds in the treasury and argued that the time for such appropriation was inopportune, Mr. Fleming followed, speaking strongly in favor of reconsideration and against the measure in question. Mr. Blalock closed the debate and urged the house not to reconsider. The previous, question brought the house to a vote and the body refused to reconsider by a vote of 88 to 33. Normal School Bill.

It was a bill by Mr. Boifeuil let to provide for the appropriation of $50,000 to be used by the trustees of the State University to build and furnish ad ditional buildings for the Normal and Industrial School for girls, at Milledge ville. The amendment of the committee suggested by the author, cutting the amount down to $25,000 was attached. The house then went into a commit tee of the whole and the debate opened. Messrs. Boifeuillet, West. Hall, Gray of Clay, Branch, Dennard and Meadow spoke in favor of the measure and urged its passage. Messrs. Hurst, McDonald and Baggett opposed it, not that the school did not need the money but that the state’s depleted treasury would not now, in their belief, stand the strain of such an obligation.

A vote was forced, resultihg in their passage by a vote of 90 ayes and 52 nays- Dempsey Bond Bill Defeated. Mr. Dempsey’s bill recurred as a special order.

It was Senator Long’s bill, and it provided for a salary of SI,OOO per an num. The finance committee proposed the salary to be fixed at $2,000.

I WANTS AN IDIOT IN HIS STEAD . The Ex-Qrand Vizier Seeks Refuge With the British. . HE [FEARED THE CONSEQUENCES l The Sullen Drove Him from His Presence, Bitterly Denouncing; Him For) His Treachery. [Copyrighted. 1895. by Associated Press 1 i Constantinople, Dec. 5., via Sofia, ■ Bulgaria, Dec. 6.—The feature of the . political situation here is the step taken I by Said Pasha, president of the coun cil of state and formerly grand vizier, in seeking refuge, accompanied by his . son, a lad aged about 12 years, in the ' British embassy. j An investigation of the affair shoyvs ( that that the sultan sent a special mes senger to Said Pasha, inviting him to occupy the chalet within the grounds ; of the Vildiz park, which was formerly [ occupied by Midhat Pasha, at one time governor general of Syria, later gover nor of Smyrna, and who was tried on I suspicion of having been connected with the murder of the late sultan, Abdul Aziz. Fully aware of the significance of this invitation, Said Pasha declined I This is said to have made Abdul Hamid take steps to arrest the former grand vizier, who is suspected by the palace people of intriguing for the deposition 1 of the present smtan in favor of ex-Sul - tan Murad, now a prisoner in the Vildiz f Kiosk, and who was declared by the ! council of ministers in 1876 to be suffer - • ing from idiocy. L Abdul Hamid, it seems, believed that . Said Pasha was trying to influence the » council of state to declare him (the sul > tan) suffering from weakness of mind. This so enraged Abdul Hamid that he determined to get Said Pasha out of the way. It may not have been the plan to ; actually murder the latter, but nobody 1 doubts that if he had been enticed into ’ the Vildiz chalet he would have re mained there a close prisoner for a long i time to come, and, some morning, the i news of his “suicide” would probably 1 : have been circulated. : In addition to suspecting Said Pasha t of desiring his disposition the sultan has been led to believe that the former . grand vizier made no earnest efforts to , induce the powers to withdraw their de . for the extra guardships. It was ’ pointed our to the sultan that if Said , Pasha’s influence had been strong enough to bring about the recall of the British gunboat Dryad from the en trance of the Dardenelles, it was suffl- I cient, in view of the peaceful condition • of Constantinople and the efforts being , made to restore order in the provinces, • to persuade the powers to waive their , claims for additional guardships. It was in vain that the pasha protested he had done everything possible under the cir- ’ cumstances. The sultan would not listen to his explanations and drove him from his presence as he did Tewfik Pa sha, the minister for foreign affairs, some days ago, bitterly denouncing him for his alleged treachery. ’ When Said Pasha had left the palace, ' the advisers of Abdul Hamid were not ’ slow to intimate that the president of the council of state was a dangerous enemy, who should be promptly depriv ed of the power of doing further harm. The sultan was impressed with the idea. But Said Pasha was too important a • personage to be dragged from his resi dence by the police or soldiers. Some- , body hit upon the idea of tempting Said ’ Pasha once more within the gates of . the Yildiz Kiosk grounds by the offer of the vizierate, Rifat Pasha, the present grand vizier, being supposed to have fallen into disrepute with his royal master. When the sultan was informed of the course taken by Said Pasha he was greatly incensed, and made several fu tile attempts to induce the fugitive to return to his house. He sent Tewfik Pasha and other ministers to the British embassy, where they had a long inter view with Said Pasha, and held out all kinds of promises to him on the sultan’s behalf. But all their efforts to persuade the pasha to leave the embassy came to nothing, Said firmly refusing to trust htmself outside of his asylum. Russia and France Have Withdrawn. London, Dec. 6.—A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Rome says that much excitement has been caused there by the statement freely made in diplo matic circles that Russia and France have withdrawn from the concert of the powers regarding the Turkish ques tion, and that efforts are now being made to hold a European conference, probably at Vienna. HAD A'' ROUGH VOYAGE. Tho Steamer Reliance Was In Three Hur ricanes and Lost One Man. San Francisco, Dec. 6.—The British ship Reliance, which has arrived here, 160 days from Swansea, had a fright fully rough passage. She was in three hurricanes, two of which shifted her cargo of coal, had a man killed at sea and was forced to run around the cape of Good Hope. She left Swansea on June 27, and four days later a heavy northwest gale came up. It caught the Reliance off Cape Clear and raged with 1 fury for 11 hours. The ship’s cargo shifted during the stt-riH lint fortunately the .wind died (lown'n-uni its num»-.ne iirce anti rm crew trimmed the cargo. Off the river Platte the ship was caught in li second hurricane and part of her rigging was earned away. Her third experience with heavy weather was south of New Zealand, where a revolving hurricane was en countered. It started from the north east and died away 56 hours later from a nearly opposite quarter. It blew the hardest from the west-southwest in re volving, and only the most careful sea manship saved the vessel. CUBANS ARE BAD SHOTS. That'rt What a British LVutenant, Who Is on the Field, Says. New York, Dec. 6.-—A special to The World from Havana. Cuba, says: Lieu tenant Churchill, a son of the late L- rr. Daniel Churchill, has arrived here from the field. He sends the following signed statement: To the Editor of the World: I joined General Suarez Valdes’ column at Sancti Espiritu and proceeded across the border into Puerto Principe province to meet Antonio Maceo. We had very difficult marches all through wild conn try, amid rains and heat. After some pre liminary skirmishing we met Gomez and Maceo, Dec. 2, at La Reperma plantation, where a battle was fought. The country is open and the battlefield, half a mile brohd. was flanked by dense forests. The enemy was behind hedges with forces in the rear. The Spanish infantry proceeded slowly • to within 30 yards of tl>e enemy’s position, whereupon the latter retired. General Suarez Valdes, in full uniform and on a white hors- role up close be hind the infantry. He was a conspicuous target. Geiwr.il Garcia Navarro, com manding the advance exp sed himself in a manner no commander is justified in do ing. The insurgents are bad shots. It appeared to me that tons of lead passed over the heads of General Valdes and staff, with whom I was. Three orderlies were wounded. The Span sli loss would have been heavy had the en voy's shots told for the troops marched in < k>se or.l<-r thr >ugh the open country ton ar Is the protected position, held by the insurgents- 1 was much impr ssed by the patience, the courage, and I nriy add. the indiffer ence of the Spanish infantry. The men laughed and sang under fire. Their obe dience was like that of the Russian sol diers—implicit. Twenty-five sharpshooters, said to be filibusterers, were the only good shots the insurgents had. Roloff narrowly escaped capture. I via Ciego de Avila to Jucaro, thence by gunboat to Cienfuegos. I was treated with much courtesy by General Valdes. My general conclusion is that European methods of . irfare are almost out of the question in a wild country, where an army ‘ operates cavalry, as cavalry is useless ex cept for marching. Winston Churchill, Lieut. Fourth Hussars, British Army. Succeeded In Landing Her Cargo. New York, Dec. 6.—A special to The Herald from Havana, Cuba, says a reb el blockade runner, loaded with arms and munitions of war for the revolu tionists, has succeeded in landing her cargo. THE SWISS EXPOSITION It Will Be a National Affair and Promise* to Be Interesting* Washington, Dec. b. —The Swiss Na tional exposition, which begins at Ge neva May 1 next and terminates Oct. 15, bids fair in the matter of interesting novelties to surpass any national dis play made since our centennial. A full account of its scope is given by United States Consul Ridgely at Geneva in a report to the state department and he says that Swiss residents in America are invited to make exhibits. Probably because Theodore Turettini, mayor of Geneva, and the most distin guished electrical engineer in Europe, is president of the exposition, the electrical exhibit will be the finest ever seen. The river Rhone supplies 12,000 horsepower to be electrically transmitted six miles to the grounds. There will be a travelling footpath operated by electricity, traversing the great machinery; horseless cabs driven by electricity; appliances for serial nav igation, a multiplying valve pump; pro cesses for making paper and fabrics, tests of strength of metals by electricity and many other electrical appliances. Professor Pictel will display his in ventions for producing intense cold; showing ft temperature of 415 degrees below zero, and will exhibit the uses of this new temperature, such as in the purification of perfumes and chemicals, the cure of dyspepsia by a cold Turkish bath process, disinfecting and the pro duction of an illuminating gas 80 times more powerful than ordinary coal gas. Other features will iSe a Swiss village, an aquarium where the spectator is be neath the water, and a Himalayan rail way where travellers climb to the top of a great tower by means of a car run ning by a cable. Two Negroes Beaten to Death. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 6. —The details of an ugly lynching which occurred in this state Monday night have just come to light, ft took place down in Colleton county, near the Barnwell and Hampton lines, and was not known , generally in that vicinity until Wednesday morning, when the dead bodies of two of the vic tims, stripped of their clothing, were found —one being an old woman. They had been taken out and beaten to death with new buggy traces, the man’s of fense being that ho Was suspected of having stolen a B> ble and some furni ture from a chuiwh, and the woman’s that she was supposed to know some thing about it. The Syndicate 'Fails. New York, Dec. 6.—A special to The Herald from Valparaiso, Chili, says the proposed nitrate syndicate to control the trade and limit the output, has gone to pieces. PRICE FIVE CENTS. HARMON’S REPORT The > Attorney General Makes His State, meat to Congress. AN INCREASE IN CRIMINAL CASES An Increase in the Court Expen -4 ses Also. Hi IS AGAINST THE FEE SYSTEM Urges the Imperative Demand for Erection of at Least One Penitentiary in Each ;Southern State.; Washington, Dec. 6.—The annual re port of Attorney General Harmon, just sent to congress, shows that there has been an increase in the number of criminal cases pending in the federal courts, as well as increase in the ex penses of the courts from $3,864,896 in 1888, to $5,628,223 in 1895. A strong argument is made for the abolishment of the fee system. He says too much of the time of the supreme court is occupied by criminal appeals, and suggests that such appeals be disal lowed, save in capital cases? The attorney general also calls atten tion to what he regards as the growing abuse of the writ of habeas corpus, ana suggests that the allowance of a stay by the supreme court or one of its judges be required at least on all appeals after the first. He asks for an additional circuit judge in the Fifth and Sixth districts. The Northern Pacific litigation has called attention to the necessity of leg islation to regulate the appointment of receivers and judicial sales of railroads, parts of whose lines are in different states. He points out the desirability of the investment of a single court with control over the entire property. Prompt action is urged toward working out the solution of the problem presented by the government’s relation to the Central and Union Pacific railroads, and as it may become necessary or advisable for the government to institute proceepings against one or both of these companies, he shows the necessity of a law giving some court in the District of Columbia jurisdiction of the entire property and of all of the parties in interest. He urges the imperative demand for the erection of at least one penitentiary in a southern state for the confinement of convicts from the southern districts. The attorney general says the prin ciples established by the opinion of the supreme court in the Debs case are of the highest value and importance. SHERMAN’S” LITTLE BOOM. Friend’s of the Ohio Senator Say His Name Will Be Presented to the Convention. Chicago, Dec. 6.—Captain D. W. Wood, the attorney, who is a lifelong friend of Senator John Sherman, has returned from Ohio and is authority for the statement that there is a well de fined sentiment in various parts of the country in favor of the venerable states man for president in 1896. Captain Wood says: “I can say that we have this assur ance, that Senator Sherman will not enter the scramble to contest for the nomination. The move of his friends to have his name presented to the con vention will be dignified and becoming. “A negro from the far south could, with propriety, arise in that convention and nominate him, for one of our main contentions will be that he is a man of the nation, and not »of any particular state. “This thing is sure—-the next nation al convention will be asked to consider his claims, and we cannot believe but they will be treated with the utmost consideration ” i - WANTS TO BE A STATE.
