G OV. HILL STARTS NORTH
JJJ3 last DAY AT ATLANTA SPENT
SPEAKING AND FEASTING.
H-s Address Before toe Legislature
Full of Praise for Georgia, the Leg
islature and tlie New Capitol-A<yt.
Gen. Porter Has a Word to Say
About the Military.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 17.—A fresh flood of
e l",jut-nce was let into tlie hall of the House
to-day, tL e greater portion being con
tributed by the distinguished New York
delegation. As it was a thanksgiving day
m Georgia, there was no regular session of
tbe legislature, bnt both bodies assembled
m the House at noon to receive Gov. Hill,
who tad been invited to speak. (Speaker
i lay presided and Gov. Gordon introduced
the speakers. Hill’s was a speech of praise.
He praised Georgia and dwelt upon her
prosperity.
likes THE NEW CAPITOL.
He praised the legislature and the new
capitol The latter had been built within
the appropriation, which set an example to
the north, and especially to New York,
whose capitol has cost $16,000,000 and is
not finished yet. He complimented the
hospitality of Atlanta and the state. He
w ished more of the people of the north
would come south; they would find the
lteople happy, prosperous and contented,
loval to the government and devoted to the
constitution.
CHANCELLOR PIE WON.
Chancellor Pierson was one of the
speakers. Gov. Gordon introduced him as
a pretended republican who ought to be a
good democrat. The chancellor said he (lid
not even pretend to be a republican now.
He had always voted that ticket until
Cleveland’s nomination, since which he had
vo’ed the democratic ticket. If he had not
been converted before, his trip to Georgia
lmd converted him, and he was prepared to
swear “loyalty, fidelity and eternal frater
nity to the state of Georgia.”
Rosweil P. Flower was introduced, but he
said the royal entertainment had been too
much for him, and be was too hoarse even
to put in a word in the interest of New
York tor the world’s fair.
THE MILITARY QUESTION.
One of the most interesting speeches was
made by Adjt.-Gea. Porter. He confined
his remarks to the military question and
the state organization. He held that these
should be maintained ut not controlled by
the government. Until that should bo
done they should be liberally su' ported by
the 6tates. He referred to the liberality of
Now York to the state troops, where the
state footed all the bills. Georgia should
do the same; she should not let her young
men bear the burden.
SUPERIORITY OF OUR SOLDIERY.
It w as n fact, he said, and admitted north,
that the Georgia troops are far superior to
similar organizations in the north. Gen.
Stevenson of Illinois made a very brief
o eech. He said he was not so hoarse us
Mr. Flower, as he came from a prohibition
state, and that should be taken as a reason
why Chicago was the best place for holding
the world’s fair. In speaking of Georgia
hospitality, he said he tiad never been be
fore treated so well or so often.
THE WIND-UP.
Ex-Postma3ter-General Stevenson also
made a brief address. After tho speeches
came the usual handshaking reception. This
afternoon Gov. Hill was banqueted at the
Capitol City club, and two hours later the
whole party were at a banquet tendered
Gen. Patrick Collins bv prominent Irish
citizens. The feature of the banquet was
the frequent allusion to Gov. Hill as the
right man for the democratic nomination
for the presidency.
At 6:40 o’clock Gov. Hill and his party
loft on a special train for Rome, to accept
the hospitality of that progressive city.
AT ROME.
Rome, Ga., Oct. 17.—Gov. Hill and party
spent several hours in Rome this evening.
Great crowds welcomed him. The Young
Men’s Democratic Club, 200 strong, marched
in a body to his reception. Speeches of
welcome were made by C >l. Jonn Temple
Graves and Donald Harper of the Young
Men’s Democratic Club. Gov. Hill and
others of the party replied in eloquent
speeches. The party left late at night for
Chattanooga.

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 17.—The train

Cleveland at 11 o’clock last night, and run
ning slowly, with frequent stops, got into
Detroit this morning about 7 o’clock. The

keveial steam yachts which steamed up
Detroit river.
After the trip up the river and around
belle Isle tho party landed and were driven

A WATER CRAFT ACT VOID.
An Important Decision in a Railroad
Case in Illinois.
Springfield, 111., Oct. 17. Judge j
Allen has filed an important decision in the I
United States district court here, in the j
litigation pending for two years, in which i
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company ,as ,
lessees of the St. Louis and Cairo railroad, j
attempted to obtain a right of
way down to tho waters of the
Ohio river at Cairo, for the transter
of passengers and freights by boats to their
lines ou the Keutucky side. The contest was
ou the constitutionality of the Illinois water
craft act of 1877, which contaius a clause
substantially depriving railroad companies
of the power to condemn land for a right of
way to any ferry privileges upon any navi
gable river bordering on this state.
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The court finds it to be unconstitutional:
First, because its title does not set out this
deprivation of condemnation privileges,
and, second, because the same clause acts as
conferring special privileges upon such
river fronts and excluding others from
them. In short, the court finds this por
tion of the act to be In conflict
both with the constitution of
the United States and of the state
of Illinois, and in conclusion says that other
portions of the act permitting ail railroad
companies terminating ou navigable rivers
on the borders of this state to increase their
business facilities, are useful and proper;
but the proviso restricting the use of addi
tional franchise to companies already own
ing land for a landing is void. The decision
will not only permit the Mobile and Ohio
railroad to obtain ferry privileges at Cairo,
but will settle a point of muoh importance
in other parts of Illinois.

AN EPIDEMIC OF SMALL-POX.
Peleelsland In Lake Michigan Becomes
a Vast Pest House.
Chicago, Oct. 17.—A dispatch from Co
lumbus, 0., says: “Mayor Hunt of
Sandusky, 0., has telegraphed the state
board of health in regard to the small-pox
ravages at Pelee Island, a famous fishing
resort in Lake Erie. The dispatch says the
wildest excitement exists. Over 100 cases
of small-pox have developed there within
the last four days. The island has about
1,000 population, every one of whom,
it is feared, will contract the
disease. All avenues of escape
from the place have been closed by the
American and Canadian authorities. Every
one of the entire group of Lake Erie islands,
including Put-in-Bav, North Bass, Middle
Bass, the Kelleys and others have quaran
tined against Pelee, and the Canadian au
thorities nave quarantined the mainland
against the island, which has become a vast
isolated pest house. Dr. Probst, secretary
of the state board of health, has sene in
structions, and has takeu vigorous steps to
prevent the disease from spreading.”

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFER
ENCE BEGINS WORK
Mr. Goodrich of the American and
Mr. Hall of the British Delegation
the Talkers of the Assembly Ma-!
rine Signals and the Restriction of
the Loading Draft the Probable
Topics.
W ashington, Oct.HT.—The members of
tiie International; Marine Conference, upon
assembling for business to-dav, were found
to have discarded gold lace, epaulettes and
decorations, and were clad in the more
somber garb of the civilian. The assem
blage had the general appearance of a meet
ing of business meu who were gathered for
a purpose which they knew how to secure.
It was soon manifested that the two talking
members of the conference were Mr. Good
rich of the United States delegation and
Mr. Hall of the British. Both are leading
admiralty lawyers, and fully informed on
the subject in hand.
all silent except hall.
The British) delegates, J except Mr. Hall,
maintainod perfect silence. He is their
authorized spokesman, and while he is
present they have nothing to say. Mr.
Goodrich’s colleagues, however, occasion
ally found it desirable to supplement his
efforts by remarks of their own.
The delegates from Norway and Sweden
promise to become important members of
the congress. To-day they labored under
the disadvantage of having no interpreter,
but that will be remedied to-morrow, it is
promised.
SUBJECT OK THE DAY’S DEBATE.
The discussion to-day was based upon
"revised international rules and regulations
for preventing collisions at sea,” contained
in the circular issued by the United States
treasury department, in September, 1887.
This whs adopted, at the suggestion of the
American delegates, as the basis for action,
because it was in convenient shape and
afforded a good starting point.
VOTES SELDOM TAKEN.
Votes upon suggestions of propositions
for a change are seldom taken," for the
reason that after tha regulations shall have
been thorouguly discussed, they will be put
into shape for final acceptance by commit
tees appointed for that purpose, and who
will be guide! iu their work by the ex
pressions of the conference. It is the opin
ion of the delegates that the conference will
not be ai le to consider all the questions
proposed in the programme in the time to
which its existence is limited by the act
authorizing it.
Lieut. Coliman of the United States
navy was to-day elected principal secretary,
and Messrs. Rice (English), Vibiere (French),
and Blaass (German) were appointed addi
tional secretaries.
THE PROBABLE PROGRAMME.
Mr. Hall (English) stated that the
English delegates had beeu instructed
that the programme mapped out
by the American delegates was
too comprehensive for the time of the dura
tion of the conference, and he had, there
fore. to inform the conference that he and
his colleagues thought it best to confine the
discussions of the conference to divis
ions 1 and 3 of the programme.
WHAT THEY REFER TO.
General division No. 1 refers to “marine
signals, or other means of plainly indicating
the direction in which vessels are moving in
fog, mist, falling snow, and thick weather,
and at night, and rules for the prevention
of collisions and rules of the road.”
Division No. 3 refers to the “draft to
which vessels should be restricted when
loaded.” Mr. Hall further stated that her
majesty’s government would not consider
as binding any of the regulations or conclu
sions adopted by the conference.
CURRENCY BY EXPRESS.
Notas of Small Denominations Now
“ Practically Not Issued.
Washington, Oct. 17.— The refusal of
the United States Express Company to ship
notes of small denominations from Wash
ington to banks throughout the country at
less than regular rates has practically
stopped the issue of small notes. Hereto
fore these shipments were made at the rate
agreed upon by the express company in its
contract for the transportation of govern
ment money. These rates are very much
less than the regular rates, and permitted
distribution of small notes to points in all
parts of the country, where they were in
great demand, at comparatively slight cost.
CLAIM OF THE COMPANY.
The company now holds, however, that
these notes, having been practically pur
chased from the government by private
firms, are no longer government money.
The shipments are made by the United
States treasurer upon receipt of a regular
certificate of deposit at the sub-treasury at
New York. An issue has now been raised
between the treasury officials and the ex
press company as to whether the latter is
not compelled to carry these notes under
the prescribed rates in their contract for
the transportation of the government funds.
THE GOVERNMENT’S POSITION.
The former hold that the notes are gov
ernment money within the meaning of the
contract until they have actually been re
ceived by the bank for which they are in
tended. The express company holds that
the notes cease: to be government money
from the time the equivalent deposit is
made with tho assistant treasurer. In
order to settle the question, Secretary Win
dom has called upon the solicitor of the
treasury for an opinion as to the rights of
the government in the matter. The impreci
sion prevails that the solicitor will decide
that the express company is bound to treat
these shipments as government property.
A GOVERNMENT MONUMENT.
It Will Be to the Signers of the Declara
tion of Independence.
Washington, Oct. 17.—C01. J. E. Pey
ton and John W. Woodside, representing
the governors of the thirteen original states,
called on the President to-day and asked
him to incorporate m his annual message a
recommendation to emigre ss in favor of
the erection, on tha site of the centennial
exposition in Fairm.unt park, a monument
to the memory of the signers of the declara
tion of independence, and the constitution
of the United States. Col. Peyton's idea is
to have a marble arch with thirteen
niches to be filled with appropriate statues,
the work of thirteen artis.s, one from each
original state. The President listened at
tentively, and then naked them to prepare
and send him a statement in writing, so
that he might give it full consideration.
This they wilt do.

PRAYER BOOK PHRASES.!
_______
THE EPISCOPAL WORK OF RE
VISION STILL GOES ON.
The Resolution In Favor of Deacon- j
esses Placed on the Calendar Pro- j
posed Alterations in the Thanksgiv- !
ing Service Give Rise to a Lively
Debate—The Evangelical Society.
New York. Oct. 17.—Shortly after the
ripening of the Protestant Episcopal con- i
vention this morning Rev. Lr. Huntington i
of New York spoke in favor of his resolu
tion placed on the calendar last week for a
joint committee to prepare the standard
prayer book of 1892. The resolution was
adopted.
Rev. Daniel R. Goodwiu of Pennsylvania
presented the report of the committee on
the canuns, recommending the creation of
deaconesses aud giving details of their man
agement. Only women over 25, of devout
character, and proved fitness, should be
appointed; these characteristics to be testi
fied to by twelve persons, six males and six
females. The resolution was placed ou the
calendar.
CHANGES IS PHRASEOLOGY.
Or. Goodwin then reoommendod the adop
tion of the reports Nos. 6. 7,8, 9, IU and
11, providing for minor changes in the
phraseology of the canons. The reports
were adopted. At 11:15 o’clock the house
went into committee of the whole on litur
gical re.’izicn, with Chancellor Wool worth
of Nebraska in the chair.
A number of delegates discussed the
changes proposed in the thanksgiving
service by the house of bishops. Consid
erable opposition was developed against the
proposed change to restrict the repetition
of the prayer to the minuter alone. Rev.
Dr. Morgan Dix spoke against the repeti
tion of prayers by the congregation. When
he sat down loud cries of “question!” were
heard, but it was not until uiter a number
of other speeches had beeu made that a vote
was reached. Two amendments were lost.
THE ORIGINAL MOTION LOST.
The original motion of the standing com
mittee was then put before the house and
lost, by a vote of 112 yeas to 175 nays. The
motion provided that after the wordi
“General thanksgiving” in the morniug
and evening prayer, following the rubric,
be inserted: “To be si id by the minister
alone, or by the minister and congregation
together.”
Dr. Hart then road the next change in the
prayer book, already sanctioned by the
bishops: “That there he inserted in the
book of common prayer after the pr tyers
and thanksgivings upon several occasions a
penitential office for Ash Wednesday."
Ur. Hart then read from the prayer book
the office proposed to be inserted. A
division was taken without discussion. The
action of the bishops was concurred in by a
vote of 210 yeas to 37 nays.
OTHER AMENDMENTS CONCURRED IN.
Dr. Hart then moved that the action of
the bishops be concurred in in passing
amendments in the collects, epistles ami
gospel, and page 17 of the book of liturgical
revision. The motion was carried almost
unanimously.
The sixth section under the same heading
wo* then taken up. It provided that after
the gospel for Christmas day there be in
serted a new collect, epistle and gospel. The
resolution was passed. At 12:53 o’clock Dr.
Hart moved that the committee be allowed
to report progress aud sit again. A recess
was then taken.
When the house of deputies assembled for
the afternoon session they went into com
mittee of the whole, with Chancellor Wool
wtirtb of Nebraska in the chair.
THE GOSPEL TOR EASTER.
On motion of Dr. Hunt, it was agreed to
insert after the gospel for Eastor day the
gospel on page 18 of the book on liturgical
revision, for any church where the holy
communion may be celebrated.
A change In the order for the administra
tion of the Lord’s Supper, as suggested hy
the house of bishops, was approved of.
The second section, however, which read:
“That alter the words ‘Glory be to thee, O
Lord,’ there he added ‘a and after the gospel,

PRAYER BOOK CHANGES.
The discussion on the proposed adoption
of a change in the prayer book which had
bem passed by the bishops, but which was
not contained in any report, created a great
deal of confusion. Rev. Dr. Mann, of Mis
souri, sought to have the change brought
about, but he failed, aud Rev. Davis Ses
sums of Louisiaua said the house did not
understand the subject, or they would not
vote It down. Dr. Sessutns, however, was
suppressed, and the changes were not
adopted.
The questioa of the adoption of the last
prayer in the book was then brought up.
Several speeches wers made on this, and in
the course of the debate, H. H. Harding, a
lay member from Missouri, objected to any
more revision. The only persons, he said,
who will he benefited hy the revision are
the booksellers. Dr. Huntington closed the
debate, and the amendments proposed by
the committee were adopted. The house
then adjourned.

ment of hi* knowledge of the plot which
ended in the murder of Cronin will be
placed in the bauds of the state’s attorney."

criminal court building to-day—more of it,
in fact, than at any time since tne jury
bribery plot was first laid bare in all it*
miserable details. Early in the morning it
became evident that the arrest of Henry L.
Stoltenburg, Alexander Sullivan’s private
sacrotary, was to he followed by a full
grand jury invest.gatioa Into the matter.
STOLTENBURO THE FIRST WITNESS.
One of the first witnesses summoned was
Stolteuburg. He told the grand jury the
story he gave State’s Attorney Long.
Decker last night, aud what caused so
great a sensation in the circles of the prose
cution. When he came out he was seen by
a reporter and asked If it were true that he
had gone before the grand jury willingly to
toll all he knew.
‘‘Not by a long shot," he replied. He re!
fused to say anything about what bo had
done in the grand jury room.
After Stoltenburg had been examined,
Henry J. MoArdle, also a cierk in YVindea
& suitivan’s office, was taken liefore the
g.andjury. His examination was brief,
and when he came out of the grand jury
room hs said that ho h >d.made no revela

not there, having been taken before the
grand Jury. Windes was so informed, butj
he would not credit the statement, aud t>e-J
gau calling Stoltenburg’s name, in the evi--:
