ing seriously from epidemic diseases.
A Pittsburg, Pa., special says: The
delegates to the national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic
got down to a solid business basis

persons have Jett the city since the last
old soldier passed in review Tuesday,
there are still 200,000 strangers in

ed in the new Grand opera house and
the serious business of the encamp¬
ment proper then began.
There is now a hot contest on in
"Montana as to which shall bo tho cap¬
ital of the coming state—Helena or
Anaconda. Helena is by far the lar¬
ger of the two cities, but Anaconda is
backed by aniniluential element,which
knows how to pull the wires. In flour¬
ishing times, when the smelting fur¬
naces are in full blast, Anaconda is a
place of note—iu dull times, when the
furnaces are not in full blast, it is
ly-—d to find a corporal’s guard of citi
y* sin the town.
♦The New York Ifernld prints a spe¬
cial cablegram from Paris, announcing
that bad reports are being circulated
concerning the health of the czar. It
is said that he is seriously ill with
Bright’s disease, and w ith a pulmonary
affection which lias become incurable
since his attack of influenza last
spring. Well informed persons be¬
lieve this report is exact, because news
of his illness, telegraphed from Russia,
never reaches its destination.

waukee. Governor Peck was renomi¬
nated on the third formal ballot.
Judge Rose, from the minority of the

following, which was adopted as an
amendment to the platform: “We de¬
nounce the treachery of United States
senators, who, claiming to be demo¬
crats, have joined with the republicans
to defeat the full measure of tariff re¬
form.” This was adopted as an amend¬
ment to the platform and then the
platform, as a whole, was adopted.
Wednesday and Thursday the an¬
nual reunion of the old time Telegra¬
pher’s Association and Society of the
United States Military Telegraph Cor¬
respondents was held in Baltimore.
A number of noted telegraph officials

Advices received at Auckland, N. Z.,
from Samoa, dated September 6ili,
confirmed the dispatches already re¬
ceived saying that the British war ship
Curacoa and the German war vessel
Buzzard some time ago threatened to
bombard Aaana, and that thereupon
the rebel chief went on board the
Curacoa, submitted to Chief Malietoa
and gave up a hundred gnus. While
the war is declared to be over for the
present, fears are expressed that ho~ 'r

eral Wyman of the marine hospital ser¬
vice, to investigate the alleged cases of
yellow fever on the British steamer Ty
zack, from Havana, now at quarantine
station off Cape Charles, reports ns
follows: “One of the cases at quar¬
antine is yellow fever, the other two
are not. Every facility was given me
for the examination of the patients.
Wilson is slowly recovering from a se¬
vere attack of yellow fever. The chief
engineer, Mr. Pool, has a very severe
bronchitis attack and possibly typhoid
fever. The steward of the ship has a
slight attack of ephemeral fever.”
A telegram was received at the Japa¬
nese legation Tuesday to tue effect
that an important treaty has been ne¬
gotiated between Corea and Japan,
which authoritatively deli, cs the rela¬
tions of the two countries toward each
other and "toward China. The object
of the treaty is stated in the preamble
to bo the usual desire on the part of
tho emperor of Japan and the king of
Corea to definitely fix and determine
the attitude of each country to¬
ward the other, with a view of
clearly elucidating the existing rela¬
tions between China and Japan, which
have been created by the request which
the Corean government has made of
the Japanese government to compel
the Chinese to evacuate Corea. To
secure concentrated action for the
more effective accomplishment of this
object, this treaty of alliance between
tho two countries was signed at Seoul
on the 20th day of August by Mr.
Otori, the envoy of Japan, and the
Corean minister of foreign affairs.
Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner
Miller gave a further hearing to whole¬
sale druggists and manufacturers of
medicinal preparations, retail drug¬
gists and others, Thursday, as to the
nature of the regulations to be issued
by the treasury department in ease
the department decides that it can is¬
sue any regulations at all to carry into
effec the provisions of section 01 of
the new tariff law, pertaining to
the free importation of alcohol
for use in the arts and in med
ieiual preparations. Some twenty
gentlemen were present and the most
divergent views were advanced. Some
of the wholesale manufacturers desired
that they be permitted to manufacture
their goods from pure alcohol in bon¬
ded warehouses. This was opposed by
the smaller druggists as too expensive
for them. The statement was made
during the general discussion that as
high as 94 per cent of alcohol was
used in some medicinal preparations.
Secretary Carlisle announced that he
would take into consideration all the
views and papers filed and announce
his decision in the matter at the earli¬
est possible time.

GOV. STONE PULLED.
THE TROUBLE CAUSED BY ISSU¬
ING WARRANTS
W hleh the Government Says Looks
Too Much Like Greenbacks,
A Jackson, Miss., special says: Held

charge of feloniously issuing money in

That is the condition in which Gov
ernor John Treasurer’Evans M Stone Auditor W W
Stone and of this
state, find ’

The United States marshal received
Governor Stone’s surrender Monday
evening at 5 o’clock. Treasurer Evans
was out of the city and Governor
Stone was attending an official meet
in S out at the penitentiary. The gov
ernor by has anticipated huTarrest, how
the ever, employing Judge Campbell,
must distinguished lawyer of Mis
* is8i l’I>b defend the state, which, in
reality, is the party in the case. That
gentleman, speaking of the affair,

on, Y exist tor a „ period of
thirty days to consider appropri
ntio n bills, articles of
ug'dnst . state officers and similar privi
leged questions. In this case it was
th0 G^estioxr of appropriations made
^cessary by deficits in the year 1892
and 1893, aggregating over $400,000.
Under the old constitution but $300,
000 was raised for school purposes,
while under the new it required over
$900,000. Besides this, as shown by
Governor Stone’s message, the receipts
from several sources had fallen off,
notably in the matter of liquor li
censes, a wave of prohibition passing
over the state which closed up the
barrooms in sixty-nine out of seventy
five counties of the state.
There were various remedies sug
gested to cure the deficit in the raising
of the necessary revenue, but none of
them were sufficient. Then it became
necessary to consider the raising of
$200,000, which would be needed be
fore another session of the legislature
could be had. The question of issuing
bonds was sprung, but Frank Burkitt,
the populist leader, suggested the is
nance of warrants of smell denoxoiaa
tionk, which could be floated among
the people, paid out for services to the
statu and in other -ways thrown into
circulation. He offered to pay cash
for $1,000 worth of such bonds if is
sued. It was on the last night of the
term of the legislature that the bill was
read for the issuance of these warrants,
of which the enacting clause was as
follows:
“That the state treasurer is author
ized and required to prepare and sell
at not less than par, bonds of the state
nt Mississippi to an aggregate not ex
eeeding $200,000, as may be necessary
to defray the current expense of the
state, and the faith of the state is
pledged for the redemption of those
bonds.”
In the conference between the two
honses the term “bonds” was changed
to “warrants,” and though the matter
was left in the hands of Governor
Stone by the adjournment of the legis¬
lature, which he could only have kept
in session by a special proclamation,
it is secret history about the capital
that Governor Stone was emphatically
opposed to this legislation. But hav¬
ing the alternative of approving the
bill or keeping that body in ses
sion, he chose the former as the best
of two evils, and signed the bill. It
was in June last that $50,000 of
these warrauts, in denominations of $5,
$10 and $20, were received from the
St. Louis Bank Note company, which
had been employed to engrave them.
The new warrants bore a remarkable
likeness to the United States green¬
back notes. The vignette of Governor
State looked well on the left hand cor¬
ner. The note went in the state. It
was redeemable at the state treasury
on January 1, 189G, and bore a rate of
3 per cent interest. There were many
who thought, when they saw the notes
in circulation, that the money ques¬
tion had been solved, and that for all
purposes of local indebtedness no one
would want anything better than
these pretty pieces of paper, which
had behind them the credit of the
state of Mississippi. The exigency of
the state government required a more
rapid circulation of these notes, and
they were ordered to be paid, one-half
in liquidation of all indebtedness in the
way of salaries, etc. It was at this
juncture that Chief Hazen, of the civil
service division of the treasury depart
“ent, wrote Governor Stone that he
entrenching upon the prerogatives
of the treasury department, and de¬
manding the surrender of the plates
and the warrants still in his possession.
To this Governor .Stone replied that
the state knew its rights and was pre¬
pared to defend them.
CAUSED BY TRAMPS.
An Ohio Town Almost Totally I>e

The little village of Dalton, Ohio,
located nine miles north of Massillon,
Yt almost totally destroyed by lire
early Monday morning. The fireorig
inated in a stable and while the direct
cause of the origin is unknown, i» is
presumed it started bv tramps taking

heaviest being the Royal Insurance

one of the most heated contests in the
history of the order, Col. Thomas G.

Hearty applause greeted the resolu
tion directing the incoming command
er in-chief to endeavor to secure the
reinstatement of discharged from gov
ernmental service, and also to protect
such veterans as yet remain in office,
As a rider to this resolution the fol
lowing was also carried amid vocifer
ous shouts;
“That the Grand Army of the Re¬
public, in the twenty-eigth national
encampment assembled, respectfully
request the president of the United
States to issue an executive order to
the heads of the several departments
of the government, and through them
to its subordinates having the power
of appointment, employment and re
tention of persons in the public serv
ice, that due consideration xS be given to
nans of the war, and
tStet anLim spirit any laws in
reference thereto, 'w-hich give them a
preference, be faithfully carried out.”
Breakng all previous records, in
beginning and ending its business
within two days, the twenty-eighth na
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic adjourned sine die
Thursday night. A year from next
Monday the boys in blue, crossing
Mason and Dixon’s line for the first
time m the history of the order, will
fraternize with their opponents of the
sixties and thus make visible demou¬
stration of the oft-repeated assertion
that there is no longer a north ora
south, but one country, free and un
davided. And, if but a tithe of the
pledges and promises made by the
visiting Kentuckians are redeemed the
encampment of 1895 wdll never be for
gotten, either by the union or confede
rate veterans, that are fortunate
enough to be among the participants.
FERTILIZER BULLETIN
Issued by Commissioner Nesbitt for
tlie Past Year.
The annual bulletin for commercial
fertilizers for the year has just been
issued from the department of agri¬
culture. Farmers and fertilizer men
can get a copy of writing to Commis¬
sioner Nesbitt.
It contains suggestions to water¬
melon growers, gives the percentage of
plant foods in certain fertilizers, tells
of cotton seed and its products, gives
the report of the state chemist, and
various other interesting matter.
It gives a very comprehensive table,
showing the increase in the business of
inspecting fertilizers from 1874 down
to the present. In 1874, 48,648 tons
were inspected, in 1875, 55,316 tons,
and each year thereafter it has in¬
creased until the present, when 315,-
612 tons have been inspected for the
past year.
Col. J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, the
most extensive farmer in the state, has
noticed the appearance of these pests
and stated to Commissioner Nesbitt
that on some farms in his county and
in Oconee county the cotton crop
would be cut off fully 50 per cent by
the ravages of the boll worms. Mr.
W. II. Malone, of Montieello, Jasper
county, writes that the cotton crop in
that county will be almost a total fail¬
ure on account of the work of these
worms and that it will be the greatest
calamity that has befallen the people
since the war.
Reports have come in from many
other portions of the state, but in none
was the damage so heavy as reported
from Jasper, Oglethorpe and Oconee
counties.
The boll worm thrives in rainy
weather and in damp and cloudy days
such as we have been having recently,
and the little pest is in an unusually
healthy condition at this time, and is
getting in his deadly work in Georgia.
The Ocean Record Again Lowered.

SOUTHERN SPECIALS
NOTING THE MOST INTERESTING
OC CURRENCES OF THE DAY.
And Presenting an Epitome oi the
South's Progress and Prosperity.
At Charleston, S. C., Tuesday
Judge Simonton sent down a decree in
the case of O. H. Sampson A* Co., vs.
the Camperdou Cotton Mills, of Green¬
ville. The sale of the mills is ordered
on October 31st.
The Southside livery stables burned
to the ground at Fort Worth, Texas.
Tuesday Twenty-six head of horses,
valued at $8,000, and thirty-six bug¬
gies and carriages, valued at $5,000,
were consumed with a quantity of
feed. The stable and property burned
had a total valuation of $25,000. The
horses were well insured, as were also
ths barns and carriages. The fire is
thought to be of incendiary origin.
Joe Henry Lloyd and Charles L.
Wilson, both white, have been arrested
and lodged in jail at Manning, S. C.,
for counterfeiting, by deputy Charles
L. Emanuel. Mr. Emanuel says he
found seven molds for counterfeiting
in all denominations from a nickel to
one dollar. It is thought that there
are several more who will lie arrested
in a few days. The counterfeit money
has been passing around for about six
months.
The Columbia, S. C., Journal pub¬
lishes au interesting article stating
that rumor has it that the legislature
may be culled together in extra session
to change the election laws, in order
“that there may be no question of the
legality of Tillman’s election to the
senate. It should be stated that the
republicans are now contesting the le¬
gality of the eight box and registra¬
tion law's of the state,” and if those
laws are declared constitutional, might
not the legislature elected under them,
and which, in turn, elects a United
States senator, also be unconstitutional.
A Jackson, Miss., special says:
Public interest in what is termed “the
unwarrantable arrest” of Governor
Stone, Auditor Stone and Treasurer
Evans, is at white beat throughout the
state and if curses were coals the se¬
cret service bureau of the treasury de¬
partment would be in a sad plight.
Governor Stone and Treasurer Evans
were carried before Commissioner
Moseley, who released them on their
own recognizance after fixing bail at
$ 1 , 000 .
A portion of north Memphis, Tenn.,
was swept by a tornado Wednesday,
destroying and damaging property to
the extent of $3,500, killing one negro
and injuring two other persons slight¬
ly. The portion of the city visited is
the seat of the lumber mills, and tho
damage falls upon three of them.
Conan’s cotton gin and mill, north of
Memphis, were partly unroofed and
trees were twisted and uprooted as if
mere pipe-stems. Cum uml cotton in
the path of tho tornado w r ere destroyed.
THE PLATES GIVEN UP.
It Was Done at Attorney General
Olney’s Request.
A Jackson, Miss,, special says: In
the matter of the controversy between
the state officials and the United States
treasury department over the issue of
special warrants, the governor and
state treasurer Tuesday morning gave
their personal recognizance to appear
before the November, 1894, term of
the United States district court in
Jackson. Upon the request of Attor¬
ney General Olney through District
Attorney Lee, the auditor of public
accounts delivered to Mr. Lee the
plates on which the special
warrauts were printed. These plates
are wanted to be used in evidence
against the St. Louis Bank Note com¬
pany, with whom the contract for tho
printing of the warrants was made.
They are to be returned to the auditor
at the conclusion of said trial. The
“demand” made by the special agent,
Burns, for these plates, which belong¬
ed to the state of Mississippi, was re¬
fused by the state officers, but the
courteous “request” of the attorney
general of the United States was cheer¬
fully gran ted.
__
Pence Accepts the Kenomination.
A special from Denver, Col., says:
Representative Lafe Pence has finally
accepted the renomination of the pop¬
ulist convention, though under protest.
He says: “I may have been misunder¬
stood. Some kind-hearted but rnisiu
formed friend has said that my nomi¬
nation to congress need not be a bar to
my aspirations to the senate. But it
will be. No man who is a nominee for
congress has the right to aspire to the
senate. I should have liked to have
gone after Wolcott, and I might have
baen the beneficiary. I accept tho
determination of my constituents,
however.”
Died from Yellow Fever.
A Baltimore special says: Second
Engineer Cornelius Watson, of the
British steamship Samuel Tyzack, who
was taken to quarantine hospital suf¬

The L'nitefi States Favors It.
It is probably that the United States
will respond favorably to Japan’s in¬
vitation to send an army officer to that
country for service with the Japanese
army during the oriental war. Gen¬
eral Schofield is in favor of it, and is
waiting to hear the views of Secretary
Lamont on the subject.

Gov. W. J. Northen, Atlanta, Ga. ;
English committee has been sent
here to investigate and denounce
southern lynohiugs. Will you please
telegraph us what you think of English
meddling with our affairs.
The World.
THE GOVERNOR S ANSWER.
In reply to this querry Governor
Northen wired the following reply.
Thf, World, New York,N. Y. :" Say
to the “English committee” who have
come to this country “to investigate
and denounce lynchings at the south,”
that I am in position to know that
they liaye received their information
from irresponsible sources, and that
the English people have declined and
refused to be properly informed about
our laws and the conduct of our gov¬
ernment. The English papers, to my
knowledge, have declined time and
again to publish statements made to
them in defense of the south by Eng¬
lishmen who are now residents of the
south. Under these conditions wo do
not want any further outside hypocrit¬
ical canu upon false ideas of our gov¬
ernment.
The people of this state are quite
able to administer their own affairs,
and they are doing it in full justice to
the negro, as our laws and our con¬
duct will attest. We have already en¬
dured more outside interference inter¬
ference in our local matters than we
will submissively tolerate in tlio fut¬
ure. Let those kindly disposed En
glislimeu return to their own country
and preye y-^.* 1 l. ->n s*»l«*
of virtuous gn.G to lustful men in high
places, hang ail such demons as Jaek v
the Ripper, punish as it deserves
the barbarous, wholesale slaughter
of negroes |o in Africa by Englishmen,
who there to steal their gold;
supply the necessities to prevent bread
and labor riots and strikes, which are

a
may be in our eye.
While we have irregularities at the
south, and negroes are sometimes
lynched, they are never slaughtered
by wholesale, as Englishmen some¬
times destroy them.
I send you by mail the law and re¬
cord of my state on these matters, and
I challenge not only the English com¬
mittee on lynchings at the south, but
the civilized world, to show a better.
Why come, before investigation, to
“denounce” the south, just prior to a
congressional election, when we have
just had a negro lynched in Kansas,
April 2d, another in Ohio on tho Sab¬
bath, April 15th; and when white Poles
and Hungarians have recently been
brutally butchered in Michigan and
Pennsylvania, and negroes run out of
Franklin Park, N. J., in herds?
We challenge investigation by all
persons who have the right to investi¬
gate these charges, but any attempt
upon the part of Englishmen, tainted
by their own national crimes, to ar¬
raign us for trial, must be considered
as a gross impertinence.
Governor of Georgia.
POISONED HIS MELONS.
Ilis Own Son and Two of His Neigh¬
bors Were Victims.
A sensational tragedy occurred near
Dykesville, La., a small town just
across the Arkansas state line, Sunday.
Clinton Thompson, a farmer, has a
fine melon crop, which has been a
perfect feast to the boys in the neigh
borhoo *. The raids of the boys be¬
came so frequent that the old man de¬
cided to put a sto]} to the depredations.
He put poison in some of tbe finest
melons and awaited the result.
Sunday morning his son Felix.
George Bridges, a neighbor’s son, and
another man named Jacob Muir, were
found dead in the patch. The neigh¬
bor whose son was among the victims
was the first to discover the dead
bodies, and called Thompson out to
bhow him the corpses.
When Bridges learned that Thornp
son had poisoned the melons and
caused the d^ath of his son, he drew
a revolver and shot him dead in his
tracks. The murderer escaped.
Rising Against the Japanese.
A London Time-; special from Sliau
ghia says: Reports from Fnesan state
that the whole population of southern
Corea has risen against the Japanese.
It is feared that the rebels, many of
whom are armed, will attack Fuesan.
Two thousand Japanese troops have
just arrived at that place.
Negotiation s for an Armistice.
A private telegiara rec< ived from
Shanghai seems to confirm the report
that negotiations fi r an armistice be¬
tween China and Japan are in progress,

sult of tho state election as the biggest

nomenal.
