The average temperature in St.

in the streets had to eland. One man
could not endure it, and hanged him

Itodies have been recovered from the
flood* caused by the rising of the
river Garonne, most of them being

President McKinley and ynrtv
reached Canton on the 10:30 train
Saturday and were met nt tho depot
by the citizens rrf the city en masse. A
large proportion of the populace inarch
ed in a parade to receive and escort
the party, hands, military companies,
old soldiers and the organizations of
last fall’s campaign being conspicuous
in the line. Thonsands of others
went to the depot unorganized and the
crowd there was almost equal to that
of the Ist of March, when the presi

NEW BOUNTY AMENDMENT
n Temporary Stumbling Block to
Tnriflf Mnkers.
The senate Saturday afternoon com
pleted the first reading of the tariff
bill, administration sections and all.
All effort to fix the final vote proved
futile, and the bill went over till Mon
B hfcn the senate met there was
Some hope that the final vote would
be reached bV night; but this was
8 je?dily dlSpeued by the storm occa
sioned when Mr. Allison reported a
new amendment from the finance
committee fixing & bounty of i of a
cent a pound on beet sugar made from
beets grown in the United States.
Mr. Jones, of Arkamus, speaking
for the minority, tfoun too* Occasion
to say that tttk Vole con Id bo reached

of this bounty amendment, lie inti

Mr. Teller, of Colorado, supplemwn*
ed this view. savin* the appoar
nncM " f Mien an amendment at the last
moment looked as though the republi
cans were trying to delay th* passage
of their own bit*. As it had become
apparent tViUt tho bounty provision
might cause serious delays, Mr.Tlmrs
ton, of Nebraska, one of tile prime
movers, arose end in impressive tones
withdrew the amendment, saying liin
action was inspired by patriotic mo
tives and for the purpose of removing
all obstacles to the.passage of the bill,
and his colleague, Mr. Allen* immedi
ately renewed the bounty prt*ph*dUoii;
ho that the complicHtioli was the same
as before.
Later in the day Mr. Allison sought
to have a time fixed for tho vote, lint
tho bounty amendment stoCd id thb
way and nil eppCitis to Mr. Jones were
in Vfiiu. Mr. Allison finally gave no
tice that lie would expect to puss the

Besides the bounty amendment, Mr.
Allison proposed later in the day au
amendment for stamping bonds, dm
lien hires, shares of stock, etc., which
went over until Monday. Among the

t*H l’lck and MiovH.
The 2,000 minors of Spring Valley,
111., quit their places in the mines and
went out on strike Saturday.
On aocortnt of this suspension the
•"ompnny has not been able to stock up
its customers to any great extent,
which is decidedly in favor of the
miners. The miners of Spring Valley
are not in good circumstances and
many of them will suffer if the strug
gle is protracted.
Telephone messages from Heaton -
villo, I add, Marquette and other min
ing camps in the vicinity report thrtt
the miners at those places will join the
national movement rtrtd there will hte

GEN. GOBJMMf DEC LINES.
Sny* H. Will Not Bea Candidate Mr fJov
ermir of U.-mßia.
A movement was inaugurated At
Atlanta the past week to induce Gen.
•lolin B. Gordon to become a candi
date for governor of Georgia next fall.
A meeting of the General's friends
was held at the Kimball house and a
committee was appointed to wait on
General Gordon to ascertain if lie
would permit the use of his name as a
candidate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor.
General John B. Gordon was inter
viewed Saturday by tho Associated
Press, and said:
“Under no consideration will T be a
candidate for governor of Georgia or
any other office again. My political
career is at an end.”
Indorsed Chicago Platform.
The democratic general committee of
Erie county, N. Y., met at Buffalo
Saturday and by unanimous resolution
decided in favor of reaffirming devotion
to the principles of the democratic
party as enunciated by the national
convention held in Chicago last July.
PREPARING FOR STRIKE.
Coal Coiihiiin<*rw Am Laying In Large Snj*-
plle* In the Went.
St. Louis coal operators, most of
whom own mines in Illinois, are pre
paring for the threatened strike anil so
are consumers of the city.
Orders enough have been received
during the past five or six days to put
in operation all the mines in the south
ern and central part of Illinois. The
St. Louis coal market was never in a
more demoralized condition.
It is doubtful if the miners of the
Belleville, 111., district will quit work
in a body. They are poorly organized
and there is a lack of concert among
them. Mass meetings are being held
to determine on plan of action.
FEW FAVORS FOR SOUTHERNERS.
Not Many of Th*m Will Out Krrognition
From llio Adinini*tnition.
A large number of promotions were
announced in the pension and war de
partments at Washington Saturday.
Naturally very few of the soft places
go to southerners under this aminis
trat.ion. Among the lucky ones, how
ever, are Levi E. Johnson, of North
Carolina; Paul Brodie, of South Caro
lina; James Doyle, of North Carolina,
and C. Walker Turner, of Alabama.

At one time Trby and M>T ibirln
wcv' only prevented irom clinching by
the interference of those on the stage.
Irby, in his sjieech, applied the sever
st, language to McT.nurin, and he
'■amo to the front. When Irby rore
the cheers for Mel aurin were deaf
ening.
Irby (baractorized McLaurin as a
ring streaked, striped and speckled
politician, lie charged him with din
honesty, and with being guilty of
treason and treachery. Jlu said llirtt

Finally, McLaurin who had turned
very pale, jumped up and faced him,
saying, “Irby, let’s have an under
standing light here. We have known
each other some time. Yon cen’t ac
cuse me of dishonesty. You can’t in

faced each other* Irby replied that
he had said it, and added, “I say

that he would prove it.
No other candidates appeared,though
Irby said that other jiledges would bo

ended.

Ex-Governor Altgeld said in part:
“Today the moat wonderful nation

Created.
Being a producing and debtor nation
it was crime to legislate exclusively in
favor of the creditor classes of Europe
and thus destroy the purchasing power
< f our people. Every great abuse is
intertwined with the money question
and you cannot ignore it; for it fixes
the limitations on enterprise and ma
terial prosperity. There must ulti
mately come a system of finance or ex
change that will have a jdiilosophic
basis and will not restrict- human
effort. But until this does come wo
demand the retro-action of the bime
tallic system as it formerly existed in
oitr country because it was the best
thus far given the world.
“The universal corruption that is
today destroying our country comes
from the concentration of capital and
the alarming aspect is that it is prac
ticed by men who talk patriotism and
who stand high in the estimation of
the public. It is idle to talk about
purifying the government so long as
men of influence and portion offer
sums to corrupt it. Gut off the
hand that offers a bribe and you will
end corruption.

There was much feeling against the

Bpeciirf of Friday

to congrossy recoinineiidvA g the Crett
tion of a currency commission will be
definitely decided next week.
The president is strongly inclined
at this turto io send a sjie.’ial currency
niWßsrtgo to congress, regarding himself
,H 5 irt a cradifable measure pledged to
this do'uM.
tn fact, it was seifii-ofllchilly rtii*

most influential advisors on finniicidf
questions are opposed to a message as
impolitic at this time owing to hos
tility to a commission oil the part of
eongfeks, ili.'d the final determination,
as stilto<jj will not be reached until
Mr. retrtril. from Gftiiton.
The executive comiiilMtft In
diaiiapolis sound money conveililOii
have been actively advocating the
commitibo 1 ' ever since the ad
vent of the present
It has also the sympathy of the pr6‘Rl
dent, who committed himself to it in
Ills inauguration. President. McKin
ley, however, did not care to recom
mend it to congress wlillti the tariff
bill was pending lest it might cotlljdl l
cate ami delay action on that measure.
All along the chief difficulty which
presented itself to those who favored
a commission for the investigation of
the currency system has been tho op
position it would encounter iu cou
grßss:
While /t hill fot the creation of a com
mission could easily hd prts/Md in the
house where fact’ous opposition would
bo unavailing against tho operation of
a cloture order that would bring it to
a Yotoi nuoty opposition in the senate
might be ftlmout hitefwhnnlble, (Sev
eral of the silver senators iiiii'S
avowed tlieii unalterable hostility id
Ghc creation of a commission and Hen
plitor Teller, of Colorado, has declared
that ho would remain hero unitl De
cember to defeat it.
This being the situation,it is under
stood that, some of the executive com
mittee members of the Indianapolis
convention are now inclined to believe
that it would jierlmjis boa mistake to
press their request for the creation of
a Commission by congress. The better
and Wiser thing to do, some of them
ndw think; worth! he to withdraw their
requests for H edniniissioit and to use
the jirovisiomii power vested ill the
committee by the Indianapolis con
vention and themselves select a cdiri
mitteo to investigate tho currency
question and present their conclusions
through the public press.
If those conclusions wero such as
the administration could subscribe to,
they could be made the basis of an ad
mi nisi rat ion measure modified hh Sec
retary (dago, Conducting an indojicnd
eiit investigation, might suggest.
The secretary has been at, Work for
some time on a comprehensive curren
cy reform scheme and some suggestion
has been made as to the wisdum of ilot
having a further agitation of the ques
tion but of permitting Mr. Gage, who
lias the full confidence of business
men generally, to frame a measure af
ter as much consultation as lie may de
sire with financiers, business men,
members of tho house and the senate
and others.
The matter was under discussion at
the cabinet meeting Friday, but not in
a manner to lead to a definite conclu
sion on policy, and the matter went
over until their return to the city
next, week, when it is probable that
Mr. H. H. Hanna, chairman of the
executive committee of tho Indianap
olis convention, and perhaps other
members of the committee will come
to Washington to discuss tho situation
with the president and Mr. Gage.
Upon the result of the conference
will probably depend President Mc-
as to a special mes
sage t<^Wng*oMH.
TO TAX STOCKS AND BONDS.
Lodge Propose* Amendment to TnrlfT Bill
For Tlint Purpose.
A Wanliington telegram says: Sena

SIOO or fraction of the face value of
