FLORIDA A LAND OF ROMANCE.
GOV. BLOXHAM DELIVERS AN IN
TERESTING ADDRESS.
A Scene Similar to the One in Which
Pocahontnn and Copt. Smith Were
the Chief Actor* Enacted in Flori
da Three-Quartern of a Century
Earlier—sluan Ortez and the
Daughter of. Chief Hirrihugua the
Actor* in the Earlier Romance.
Tampa Bay Hotel, Tampa, Fla., Jan. 20.
—At the reassembling of congress this af
ternoon Gov. W. B. Bloxham of Florida
delivered an address of welcome.
This was responded to by President A.
Nelson Cheney, as follows: "Ladles and
Gentlemen: On behalf of the delegates of
the National Fishery Society, I desire to
thank you, and also the people of Florida,
for your most gracious welcome. As you
have said, the food problem is a most im
portant one to this country, and to all
countries, and fish food is not the least
important. In looking over this assem
blage of delegates, I am reminded that we
are apt some times to forget the pioneers
who begun a great work, and called on
unexpectedly, as I have been, I thought I
could do no better than to state to you
of the beginning of the fish propagation,
leading back some centuries. The history
of our fish culture In all its details has
never been written. It is on record that
Don Pinchon, a French marquis, hatched
fish in 1420. The real father of fish cul
ture was Stephen L. Jacobi, a German
fish breeder, who made known his dlsccfv
ery in 1761. He practiced It for some
twenty years before that date. His obser
vation was conducted in a little wooden
trough, and he himself, or his sons, con
tinued the work for thirty or forty years,
after 1800.” He.gave out many interesting
facts in his brief address.
A letter from President McKinley to
Col. T. T. Wright of Tennessee, the pro
moter of the congress, was read, expressing
good wishes for the congress. Telegrams
to the same gentleman from Theodore
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary .of the
Navy; S. P. Fish, president of the Illinois
Central Railway; John Sherman, Secre
tary of State, and other distinguished men,
were also read.
Calls were made on Hon. Henry B.
Plant, who responded briefly by saying,
among other things: "I am not a public
speaker, and I am rarely called on to
make an address, especially to such a large
and intelligent audience of people as I
see before me now. It gives me pleasure,
however, to be here in the pres
ence of the gentlemen who are
devoting their tlmo for the benefit
of mankind,ln an effort to promote the pro
pagation and preservation of that excel
lent food for man—fish—and I thank you,
sir, Gov. Bloxham, for calling the atten
tion of the American people, and not only
the American people, but the people of the
■world generally, to the idea that fish, in
order to have them preserved, must be
protected. It is not an easy matter to
protect the fisheries of this country,
whether It may be fish that swims in the
water, or the fish that is hidden away in
the safids. You. have done well, sir, to
call this convention. You have, perhaps,
done better than you thoughg to bring it
to the attention of this country, as
well as the countries repri nted here. It

"J had assurance from the prime minis
ter that there Is no subject which could
have twen brought to the attention of the
Emperor and his cabinet that they felt
greater interest In than that of the preser
vation of the fishing industry."
I “Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen:
The assentbling of this Fishery Congress
is the result of the suggestion of Col. T.
/N' Wright, one of the most progressive
of the Mouth. His presentation
-of the possibilities of such a meeting was
the prompting cause of my issuing the
call, and he organised the movement so
well executed by Tampa's Board of Trade
nn<l Hon. H. M. Smith of the United States
Commission of Fish and Fisheries.
"Tampa's representative will bid you

captains, can be traced. While
B*t is not my intention to recur to their

with the ambrosia of ancient story, yet
there is one romance, based upon historic
fact, aMoclated with this very spot, that

"Whenever the history of America Is

similar scene was enacted on this very
spot, three-quarters of a century before
♦he name of Pocahontas was ever lispe I
by English lips, is unknown to even many
Floridians. It was here, in 1538, twelve
years before De Soto landed on Tampa
bay, that Juan Ortes, a Spanish youth of
18, having been captured at Clear Water
was brought before Hlrrihugua, the stern
Indian chief. In whose breast was rank
ling a vengeance born of the ill treatment
of his mother by the followers of the ill
fated Narvarea. Ortes was young and
fair, but the cruel chief had given the or

stern chief* daughter threw herself at
her father's feet and interposed in Ortea'a

historic dame, 'whose heavenly charms
kept troy and Gi'vece ten years in arms.
The soft language of her soul flowed from
frpm her never silent eyes as she looked
up through her tears of sympathy, Im-
I'lorlng the life of the young Spaniard.
"Those tears, the ev«-r-ready weapon of

"Her loving heart told her that Ortes

genuine and more touching illustration of
“love, charity and forgiveness’’—the very
trinity of earthly virtues, and the bright
est Jewels of the Christian heaven?
"What a captivating theme this Florida
Pocahontas should present to the pen of
imagination, picturing this spot then, and
to-day, associated with romance rich in
historic lore.
"But I am here to welcome you to this
National Fishery Congress—and what lo
cation more fitting for such a congress
than the shores of this Mediterranean, the
Gulf of Mexico?
"Mathew Maury, that great intellect and
writer on the currents of the oceans; that
great map-maker of the air that circles
above all ocean waves, states it as a
physico-commercial fact, ‘That the area of
all the valleys which are drained by the
rivers of Europe which empty into the
Atlantic, of all the valleys that are drain
ed by the rivers of Asia which empty into
the Indian ocean, of all the valleys that
are drained by the rivers of Africa and
Europe, which empty into the Mediter
ranean, does not cover an extent of terri
tory as great or as fertile as that includ
ed in the valleys drained by the Ameri
can rivers which discharge themselves in
to this, our central sea.’
“Those valleys drained into the Gulf
of Mexico and the Caribbean sea range
through all the producing latitudes of the
world, and embrace every agricultural
climate under the sun. Upon their green
bosom rests the vegetable kingdom, and,
in the near future, when the waters of
the Atlantic and Pacific are allowed to
comingle through a canal across Cen
tral America, the commerce of the w’orld
will here hold its court.
“Those vast valleys furnish waste or
ganic matter that is brought into this in
land sea, furnishing abundant food for an
imal life. The temperature of the water
of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea is most favorable to the development
of the lower orders of animal life, and an.
imalculae and small fish feed upon this
abundant supply of food, and in turn be
come food for larger fish. The Gulf
stream, originating in the Caribbean sea,
sweeping through the Gulf of Mexico and
around the entire coast of Florida, helps
to bring to our very doors this vast food
supply, and gives us the best of feeding
grounds many times the area of our state.
“What state then is more suitable in
which to organize a National Fishery
Congress than Florida?
“Stimulated by the erroneous sentiment
that America’s fishery resources, on ac
count of the great area and capabilities of
her waters, are practicably inexhaustible,
an Improvidence has led to a useless and
wasteful destruction in many states that
tends strongly to the depletion of their
waters.
sentiment is becoming largely
directed and educated up to a full com
prehension of the importance of the indus
try, and the general government is lending
its powerful aid to the dissemination of
information, and the propagation of val
uable species of food fish. With such ear
nest and intelligent workers as are now
in the government employ, and at the head
of this great work, with the various states
co-operating, we may confidently look to
a cessation of useless improvidence and an
increase in the supply of the desirable food
producing fish. And what efforts more
commanding and deserving greater con
sideration than the suggestion of new
fields of labor, looking to increasing the
food supply of mankind? And where can
we look more confidently for such increase
than In the water farms of America?
"This congress is really In the Interest
of the highest civilization; for no ques
tions ere of more moment than the in
crease or dlssetvmination of a wholesome
food supply for mankind.
Wot, Mr iChal.rman, I am no{ here to
discuss ahy of the phases of the many
questions that may be brought to the at
tention of the Congress; that will be the
work of specialists and experts. I am
here simply to give you a cordial welcome;
and In the name and in behalf of the good
people of Florida,
"I welcome thee, and wish thee long?"

SAVANNAH FIGHT SETTLED.
HARRY BLUN TO BE POSTMASTER
AND DEVEAUX COLLECTOR.
The Decision a Victory for the Reg
ular Organization Over the Lily
Whites and a Deep Humiliation
for Maj. Hanson—He Is Forced to
Indorse Deveaux in Order to Se
cure an Assurance That a White
Man Will Get the Postniastership
at Augusta—Dunn to Be Collector
at Brunswick.
Washington, Jan. 22.—John Deveaux,
colored, is to be collector of the port of
Savannah, and Harry Blun, white, is to
be postmaster.
These two appointments were agreed
upon to-day at a conference between the
President, Judson Lyons, Maj. Hanson and
Mr. Leaken.
For nearly an hour the President gave
his undivided attention to the Georgia
delegation, and the whole situation was
thoroughly discussed. When the confer
ence was ended it was ascertained that
the regular organization had scored a
complete victory over the lilly whites.
During the conference Maj. Hanson was
forced to humiliate himself to the extent
of indorsing Deveaux for the Savannah
office, in order to secure from the President
an assurance that a white man will be
appointed postmaster at Augusta.
It was a bitter dose for Maj. Hanson to
take, in view of the announcement at the
beginning of the present administration
that he would be a power with the Presi
dent in the distribution of the federal
patronage in Georgia. Up to date he can
count J>ut appointments* his ore<ljt.
Perry DeLeon and Postmaster’ Garrett at
Columbus. He is not to name the post
master at Augusta, for, though a white
man is to be chosen, the appointee will
be a member of the regular organization,
who is agreeable to Judson Lyons. It Is
believed that Capt. Stallings will be se
lected.
Henry T. Dunn, another organization
man was slated for the collectorship at
Brunswick. A part of the contract calls
for the appointment of E. R. Belcher, the
colored leader, who was a candidate for
the collectorship as deputy collector.
There is great joy In the regular organ
ization camp to-night, and Judson Lyons
has Ihe assurance of the President that he
shall have something much better than the
Augusta postmastershii).
There is also rejoicing over the fact that
the regular organization has thrown Maj.
Hanson down so hard that he will hardly
arise again during the present administra
tion.
The selection of Harry Blun for postmas
ter at Savannah, will be a great disap
pointment to Tom Johnson and his friends.
Having disposed of the Savannah, Bruns
wick and Augusta spoils, Lyons, who ap
peared to be running the conference, se
cured a promise from the President that
W. C. Wimblsh will be appointed surveyor
of customs at Atlanta.
In passing the delegation joined in an ap
peal for the appointment of Capt. Pierce
as consul at Nottingham, Eng. The Presi
dent remarked that no vacancy exists at
Nottingham, but he promised to consider
Capt. Pierce’s claims later on.
While the President was generously in
clined, Deveaux put in a good word for
Bill Pledger, who is a candidate for any
thing in sight. It is said that Bill is to
be taken care of in the sweet bye and bye.
When the subject of the Augusta post
office was reached, the President stated
that Senator Hanna had urged the ap
pointment of Lyons on every occasion, but
Postmaster General Gary interposed ob
jections worthy of serious consideration.
The President added that he did not fear
any trouble should Lyons be appointed, but
he thought certain obstacles might mili
tate against it.
Then, turning to Lyons, the President
said: “Are you not willing to leave your
case in my hands?"
“Why certainly. Mr. President," replied
Lyons, "that Is entirely agreeable to me.’’
The President assured Lyons that he
would have no cause to regret that he is
deprived of the Augusta postmastership.
It is understood the appointments will be
formally made as soon as the terms of the
incumbents expire.
WOMAN CITS HER THROAT.

Louisville, Ky., Jan. 22.—(Mr*. Seth Coff
man. who lived in Greenville township.
Clark county. Indiana, near New Albany,
committed suicide this morning by cutting
her throat with a kitchen knife. *
Before committing the rash deed she at
tempted to end the life of her infant child,
who slept in its cradle in an adjoining

fate. The child will die.
No cause is assigned for the suicide, as
the Coffmans were in fairly good circiim

FRENCH DEPUTIES IN A FIGHT.
DEBATE ON DREYFUS CASE ENDS
IN A FREE-FOR-ALL SCRAP.
The Excitement Started by an Inter
pellation Put to the Government
by ex-Minister Cavaignac After Af
firming; the Existence of a Govern
ment Report Containing a. Confes
sion by Dreyfus—The Insinuation
That Publication Would Be Dan
gerous on Account of a Foreign
Government Denied.
Paris, Jan. 22.—The Chamber of Depu
ties was thronged to-day and there was
great excitement when ex-Minister Cav
aignae repeated the interpellation of the
government on the subject of the Drey
fus case. He affirmed the existence of the
government report of Capt. Le Brun Re
naud, containing the confession of M.
Dreyfus, whose guilt, he said, was thus
established, and blamed the government
for its silence.
Continuing, Mi Cavaignac reproached
the government for thus leading to a repe
tition of the trial. He added that if the
government believed that the publication
of the name of a foreign power connected
with the Dreyfus confession was danger
ous, no one would ask for its publication.
M. Meline, in reply, said he would not
communicate the contents of >2apt. Le
Brun Renaud’s report. The government
did not think it was right to publish it,
because the ministers thought once the
case was opened it could not be closed.
This would cause the printing of the pub
lication against the cause which actuated
the desire for a private trial. The Case
was not dangerous. A great writer had
used 'his pen to dishonor the army. (Pro
longed applause and violent protests.)
M. Meline denounced the newspa
pers supporting Dreyfus and declared that
the government had done only its duty
in prosecuting Emil Zola, adding that they
knew how to defend the honor of the
army, whose honor was beyond the reach
of all attacks. (Shouts from the Left
ists.)
At this point the chairman, M. Brisson,
intervened and adjourned the deputies un
til quiet could restored. On the streets
many of the deputies would know how to
effectually quell the trouble.
There was, a tumult among the members
of the Extreme Left.
“The government now needs,” the pre
mier said, “that the country should be
informed that the chamber had support
ed the ministers.” (Great applause.)
M. Cavaignac replied that the moral re
sult sought had been attained, adding that
he desired to withdraw his interpellation.
This caused great excitement in the
house, arid M. Jaurez, the Socialist leader,
renewed M. Cavaignac’s interpellation of
the government. He protested against the
attack on the socialists as helping to
adopt reactionary measures. His attack
caused a commotion among the members
of the right. Continuing M. Juarez char
acterized as lies the “incomplete charges”
filed in the prosecution of M. Zola. (Ap
plause from members of the left.)
M. Debonls, Conservative, accused M.
Juarez of being the spokesman of “the
replied: "You are a scoundrel arid a cow
ard.”
M. Debonls thereupon made a rush to
wards the tribune, but he was seized by
several Socialists and a series of fights en
sued, during which M. Debonls fought his
way to the tribune and struck M. Juarez.
Conservatives and Socialists charged the
platform and the melee became general,
with fighting and shouting on a’.l sides.
The chairman, M. Brisson, being pow
erless to preserve order, left the chair,
saying, "I am going to consult the procu
rator general.”
A few minutes later the order was given
to clear the tribune, amidst the greatest
excitement among the deputies and Jour
nalists, who were threatening and Jostling
each other, and almost coming to blows.
During the altercation between M. Jua
rez and M. Debonls, the latter shouted to
M. Juarez “You are unquestionably the
representative of the Dreyfus syndicate.”
To this M. Debonls shouted in reply, but
he was unable to make himself heard.
In the meantime, M. Deivelie was en
deavoring to throw an inkstand at the
head of M. Debonls, but was restrained by
one of the deputies around him.
Several persons In the press galleries ex
changed blows during the uproar and the
people in the House galleries climbed on
the seats, shouting encouragement or
abuse at the deputies.
M. Debonls, during the course of an in
terview after the disturbance, said: "The
official report will show I said ‘Juarez,
you are a counsel for the syndicate.’ At
the moment M. Gault struck me without
warning and hfs colleague surrour.de*!
me and prevented me from returning the
attack. In blind anger I scaled the trib
one and raised my hand against Juarez
without seeing that hts back or face was
toward me. 1 atn ready to give him what
satisfaction he demands.”
There is much talk of a duel between M.
Debonls and M. Juarez, but the friends of
the latter declare he will not fight. After
the attdek made upon him M. Juarez was
the object of an ovation on the part of the
Socialist deputies.
When the order was given to clear the
tribune, the reporters were given an
order to retire, but several of them made
a demonstration in favor of M. Juarez,
shouting "bravo, vlve M. Juarez.”
The subsequent proceedings of the cham
ber were not known for some time, as the
doors were closed; but later It was an
nounce'! that the bureau of the chamber
was in session under the presidency of M.

Probably half the people who see this ar

because it is not immediately fatal they
neglect it. Carlessness- causes no end of

Hemorrhages occurs during surgical treat

Piles are simple in the beginning and

There is only one remedy that will do it—
Pyramid Pile Cure.

deluged a conservative deputy, whose face
was drenched with blood and ink.
Deputy Jajot was seized with an epi

carried out in the lobby.
M. de Bernis was extricated by his
friends from underneath a mass of So

GEORGIANS IN THE DEBATE.
Congressmen Lewis and Adamson
Make Strong; Speeches.
Washington, Jan. 22.—Two members of
the Georgia delegation took part in the
House debate this afternoon while the
Indian appropriations bill was under con
sideration.
Judge Adamson of the Fourth district
took _of the occasion to —ar
raign the Republican party in severe ternis
for its sins of omission and of commis
sion, declaring himself as opposed to
paternalism and commercial politics, and
criticising the financial policy of the ad
ministration. His speech was a strong
statement of the Democratic position.
Mr. Lewis of the Third district, who Is
a member of the committee in charge of
the bill that was pending, paid particu
lar attention in his speech to the brand
of Dingley prosperity which is being ex
perienced by the mill operatives of New
England. He showed that the reason the
Southern mills were prospering while the
Northern mills were cutting wages was
not due to the wage question solely, but
that all the conditions in the South were
more favorable to cotton manufacturing.
Both men made good speeches.

FISHERY DELEGATES GO FISHING.
An Off Day in the Tampa Congress in
a Business Sense.
Tampa Bay Hotel, Tampa, Fla., Jan. 22.
—This was comparatively an off day with,
the delegates and National Fishery Con
gress, so far as business was concerned.
A special train, tendered them by Pres
ident Plant, took the members to Port
Tampa this morning, where the party em
barked on the steamer Margaret for a
trip down the bay as far as Mullet key,
where some time was spent in fishing.
Others embarked on the government
steamer Fish hawk and made practically
the same trip, enjoying illustrations of
deep sea fishing.
Both parties were royally entertained
by the Tampa Board of Trade.
The delegates on the Margaret held a
special meeting, and passed resolutions of
thanks to Mr. Plant for his kindness, and
also to the Board of Trade.
To-night Prof. William Townsend gave
an illustrated lecture on the subject of
the seal and seal fisheries of the world,
which was listened to by a large and ap
preciative audience.
The sessions of the congress will be re
sumed Monday, when a number of valua
ble papers will be read.
The congress will probably adjourn
Tuesday.
ASHLEY JUNCTION’S WRECK.
The Blume Put on the Crews, of the
Two Trains.
Charleston, S. 6., Jan. 22.—John Sellers,
a colored porter of the Florida special,died
at the infirmary this morning from the
injuries he received in the wreck beyond
Junction v " <*
Engineer Neely and Mail Clerk Bingham
are both still alive, but are not expected
to recover.
Coroner Rivers made up a jury to-day
for the purpose of investigating the collis
ion, but the hearing was adjourned until
material witnesses were able to appear.
The Railroad Commissioners of the state
came to the city to-day and visited the
scene of the wreck.
After a partial examination, they gave
out the following for publication: “The
commissioners went to the scene of the
accident and are of the opinion, before in
vestigating the facts, that the collision
was impossible if the company’s rules had
been observed. The commissioners are
advised that a dense fog prevailed at the
time. The board will further investigate
when the principal witnesses are able to
testify.”
This would seem to throw the blame for
the tragedy upon the crews of the wreck
ed trains, and it is possible that the future
may find a case brought into court against
them.
KNOCKED OUT IN SIX ROUNDS.
Eddie Donnelly Proves no Match for
Jack Everhardt.
Hot Springs, Ark., Jan. 22.—Jack Ever
hardt of New Orleans defeated Eddie Don
nelly of Boston in six rounds to-night at
the New Hot Springs Athletic Club in the
presence of 500 persons. Bat Masterson
of Denver was selected referee by accla
mation.
The men entered the ring at 10:30 o’clock
in excellent condition, but before the first
round was over it was plainly apparent
that Donnelly was no match for Ever
hardt.
During the first round Donnelly failed to
land an effective blow, but received sev
eral with telling effect.
The second round, like the first, was
entirely one-sided, Donnelly being severe
ly punished, chieflly with body blows de
livered at short range.
The third round was without special
features, Everhardt keeping up his in
fighting. Donnelly’s nose began bleeding
profusely in this round, placing him at a
still'greater disadvantage. He managed
to land two face blows, but they seemed
to be without effect.
In the other rounds Everhardt had
things his own way, knocking Donnelly
down four times, he generally taking the
full time to get up, until the last, when
he was counted out.
WILLIAM ABRAM LOVE DEAD.
Prominent ns a Physician and at a
High Degree Mason.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22.—Dr. William
Ahram Love, one of the foremost physi
cians of the city, and well-known through
out the state on account of his professional
standing, and also by reason of his prom
inence in the Masonic fraternity, died at
his home on Whitehall street, at 6 o’clock
this morning.
Dr. Love was 74 years of age, and had
been feeble for several months past, due to
a general breaking down of his system.
Personally he was a most picturesque
figure to the public, being of fine physique,
and wearing a long, flowing beard and hair
falling over his shoulders, both hair and
beard being as white as pure snow.
Dr. Love was a thirty-second degree
Mason and had held numerous high posi
tions in the order, of which he leaves a
valuable collection of writings to be de
livered to the Grand Lodge. He will be
buried with Masonic honors befitting his
high position in the order, as well as for
his attainments in his profession and as
a citizen.

JENKINS STILL SILENT.
No Announcement Yet Made by the
Speaker a» to His Intentions.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22. Speaker Jenkins
left for his home in Eatonton this morn
ing without authorizing any statement as
to his intentions with regard to the Gov
ernorship.
It was expected that he would make
some kind of an announcement to-day
after the appearance of Col. Candler’s an
nouncement.
Those who know the speaker well ara
still inclined to the opinion that he will
be a candidate and that his announcement
will be forthcoming in a few days. He
took a copy of Col. Candler’s letter home
with him no study it, and possibly- tv "jvr
it in framing his own.
One of the significant facts In connec
tion with the expected candidacy of Mr.
Jenkins is that Attorney General Terrell
is said to be ijsing the strongest endeav
ors to get him into the race. This may
mean that the same forces supposed to be
backing the erstwhile boom of the Attor
ney general are ready to support the Jen
kins boomlet, and then, again, it may only
mean that Col. Terrell just wants to see
the speaker in the race, so as to get an
idea of what Col. Candler would have
done to him if he had stayed in.
TENNESSEE’S DEADLOCK.
Republican* nnrt Popultiti May Cut a
Figure in the Fight.
Nashville,- Tenn., Jan. 22.—The Demo
cratic senatorial caucus met again at 9
o’clock this morning, and nine ballots were
taken. There were no sensational features
and but immaterial changes, and the dead
lock continues.
The forty-sixth and last ballot stood a
McMillin, 38: Turley, 28; Taylor, 22; neces
sary to a choice, 45 votes.
It is still McMillin against the field, and
the efforts of the supporters of Turley
and Taylor are now being used to break
the McMillin line. The caucus adjourned
until next Monday night.
Both houses of the legislature have
adopted a joint resolution to ballot for
United States senator next Tuesday, end
if a nomination is not made by the cau
cus Monday night the Republican and Pop
ulist legislators, forty-two in number, may
cut a figure. While it is reported the Re
publican vote will be cast for G. N. Till
man, candidate for governor last year,
there is an Impression gaining ground that
the Republicans will be willing to assist
in making a wide breach between /the
Democrats.
The legislative proceedings so far have
been unimportant.

The Cuban Scare.
Although the diplomatic entanglement
with Spain over Cuba is to some extent in
fluencing the stock market. Wall street
expects no serious complications. Never
theless serious complication with other
maladies may be expected to follow- an at
tack of biliousness which is not checked
at the outset. The most effectual means to
this end is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, an
admirable remedy, moreover, for dyspep
sia, malaria, kidney trouble, constipation
and nervousness.—ad.
