Newspaper Page Text2 DOYLE UP FOR CONGRESS THU REPUBLICAN CONVENTION A REGULAR BEAR GARDEN. Doyle Hite Beech In the Bye with Bis Fist—Pleasants Gets the Chairman ship, Beating Belcher—Doyle Boasts of Hie Strength and Fierceness Pleasants Alludes to Reed. Watcross, Ga, Sept. 16.—The republi can convention of the First congressional district convened here at noon, with L. M. Pleasants of Savannah in the chair. Several contesting delegations were pres ent, clamoring for a bearing. A motion to open with prayer was en tirely ignored, so great was the confu sion. The chairman, with his ponder ous cane, rapped for dear life, but could not restore order. Finally order was restored, and prayer was offered by Rev. Floyd Snelson. Immediately after the floor was taken by the legal and contesting delegates, who wrangled with each other, regardless of the chairman's efforts to restore order. They disputed his authority, aud kept up a cease less hammering and yelling, until at one time the noise approached pandemonium. SNELSON PLEADS FOR HARMONY. Rev. Snelson finally gained a hearing, and, in a sensible talk, urged upon the con vention harmony and unity. It was decided not to hear from the con tested delegates. The roll of the counties was ordered, the regular delegates taking the front seats Capt. Pleasants was elected temporary chairman over K. VV. Brinkins. Rev. Keelson nominated S. B. Morse for temporary secretary. R. W. "White nominated Belcher. Bel cher was elected. A committee on credentials was nomi nated at 4:30 o’clock and later on reported. Their report was adopted after some wrang ling. S. B. Morse was then elected permanent Chairman over E. W. Brinkins aud K. R. Belcher secretary’. THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIP. Rev. Snelson moved to proceed to nomi nate a chairman of the executive committee of the district for the next two rears, aud placed L. M. Pleasants in nomination. L. B. Toomer nominated E. R. Belcher. This brought on the battle. Exciting Speeches were made on both sides. It was Charged that the opposition to Pleasants came lrorn Chatham county. One member jumped up on his feet and yelled that when members of the same church fell out it was a sign of something dead up the branoh. The quarrel kept up, gaining impetus from every speaker until Pleasants himself, being arraigned, took the floor in reply. LOOKED LIKE A FIGHT. Burke of the Savannah delegation made some remark questioning Pleasants’ methods in the district, when Pleasants gave him the lie. Burke sprang to his feet, and for a few monutes it looked as if a personal collision was imminent. The troubled waters were finally quieted aud the discussion, still heated, proceeded. ,At last a vote was taken, resulting as follows: Pleasants, 22; Belcher, 17. Belcher was elected Secretary by acclamation and 8. B. Morse assistant. DOYLE’S NAME PRESENTED. Floyd Snelson placed Capt. M. J. Doyle in nomination for congress in an able speech. L. M. Pleasants seconded it. During hu remarks he said that if ballot box stuffing had kept them out in the past, “Thank God we have a Reed to rule, and if they at tempt it again iu the future we’ll take them up and let Heed read them up a little. ” Daw of the custom house spoke briefly of Capt. Doyle. DOYLE NOMINATED. Capt. Doyle was then nominated. Capt. Doyle took the stand amid yells of aDplause. He said he was the strongest and fiefcest candidate over nominated, and that a committee would be sent to lay the pro ceedings of this convention before the ad ministration, aud to see to it that it re ceived its recognition aud support. THE RESOLUTIONS. Resolutions were adopted expressing ap proval aud accord and adherence to the principles of President Harrison’s adminis tration, aud condemning the unlawful meth ods of the democratic party in its control of the ballot-box. The resolutions eontinue: The Republican party in convention assem bled reaffirm their loyalty and pledge hearty Support to the principles adopted by the na tional Republican party at Chicago in 1888. We advocate the passage of such laws as will advance the agricultural Interests and bring re lief to the laboring masses. A REFUSAL TO INDORSE. Resolutions asking the convention to in dorse the republican applicants at Bruns wick and Mclntosh for postmaster were made, but withdrawn, a motion to sign the duplication in another form prevailing in these cases. Every county in the district was repre sented. A congressional committee was chosen from each county. During the convention Capt. Doyle was approached by Theodore Bauch, whereupon Capt. Doyle struck him, inflicting a severe wound on the nose and under the eye. The trouble was the outcome of letters Basch bad written to Washington against Capt. Dovle. Basch had a warrant taken out, but left tor Savannah without waiting to see it served. The convention adjourned sine die. FIRE AT TALBOTTON. The Thornton Hotel Destroyed—A Close Call for the Inmates. Talbotton, Ga., Sept. 16.—Talbofcton euffered Sunday night from fire. The Thornton houee, a magnificent brick hotel, costing more than $36,000, was entirely consumed. All the furniture was lost. The Thornton Merchandise and Drug Ctompany lost their entire stock, amounting to $25,000 or more. Hon. E. Y, Tigner of Columbus was the first to di-cover the fire, and only in time to awaken tbe occupants of the building in time to make their escape. The town was demoralized, and business was practically suspended Monday. The postofljee was in this building, aud the only thing saved there was the money orders and money order reoords. Numbers of our merchants have sustained great losses by being forced to move thair entire stocks. EX-GOV. SMITH ON THE BTOMP. He Addresses the People of Talbot County. Talbotton, Ga., Sept. 16.—Ex-Gov. J. M. Smith spoke here, Saturday, upon the invitation of citizens of the couuty. He has followed the Hon. Thomas M. Norwood and surrendered to the alliance. He started out to speak to the constitutionality of the sub-treasury bill, but wound up trying to beat Geu. Gordon for the Senate. The ex goveruor, while not an avowed candidate, is willing to be struck by the lightning. Court will continue in session all during the week. A NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE. Her Refusal to Take a Drink of Whisky Led to a Row. Macon, Ga., Sopt. 16.— Louis Lewis, a negro milk carrier, shot and killed his wife in this city to-day. Lewis went home drunk. Ho offered his wife a drink of wuiskv. She refused it. He told her if she didn’t take it that he’d never offer her another drink. She said she didu’t care, there were plenty of other men that would. He told her if she 6aid tnat again he’d kill her. She repeated it, whereupon be drew his pistol, and, true to bis threat, shot her dead. POLICBMSN FALL OUT. One who Wanted to be Lieutenant Suspended for sixty Days. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 16.— There is a great deal of Interest in police matters in Augusta just now. Lieut. Hood’s promotion to chief, vice Capt. Joseph Twiggs, deceased, left a vacancy. Eight sergeants are work ing for it. First Sergt. Hennies comes first in the regular line of promotion, but was closely pressed by Sergt. Sheron, a vary popular young officer. Hennies and Sheron roll to fighting each other before the commission. The charges against Sheron were heard to-night, and after a long session of the commissioners he was suspended for sixty days. They are for old offe-iaes, how ever, and Sergt. Bennies is culpable for not preferring them at the time. Hennies’ case has not been tried, but it is probable that he, too, will be dealt with by the commission, and that neither of these two prominent candidates can win. Sergt. Cartledge comes next to Sergt. Hennies in line of promotion and is a good officer. The greatest interest is felt in the matter throughout the community. SLASHED IN A BARROOM. A Brawl at Americus That Nearly Resulted in Murder. Americus, Ga., Sept. 16.—A difficulty about 2 o’clock this morning in the Allen house bar between Charles Bailey, the pro prietor, and Tom Berry resulted in the serious cutting of Berry by Bailey. He has four severe cuts, but as none of them en tered vital parts there are no grave appre hensions about his recovery. Statements made by the parties and by witnesses are confliotiDg as to the cause of the difficulty. Bailey was arrosted, waived examination aud gave bond for his appearance. WEST FLORIDA ALLIANCES. Two Projects for Establishing an Ex change at Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 16.—The farm ers’ alliance of this county is in earnest about the establishment of au alliance ex change in this city. A meeting of the officers and directors was held here to-day for the purpose of perfecting arrangements and details for opening the exchange at an early day. W. D.

A meeting of the alliances in West Flor ida has been called to assemble at DeFu niak Springs on the Sept. 20, to consider the advisability of establishing a West Florida exchange in this city. If this pro ject goes through it will absorb the Escain bta exchange, aud the capital stock nil) doubtless be $50,000. Iu any event the Escambia exchange is a fixed fact, and sev eral locations in the city are now being considered by the manager. “It may be,” said the president of the Escambia alliance to the Morning News correspondent, “that we will purchase a building in Pensacola to be oocupied by the exchange. We have several sites in view that have been offered us on reasonable terms.” BBRKELBY’S REPUBLICANS. Two ConventlonsFour Candidates For Congress in the District. Charleston, 8.

Both re publican conventions elected delegates to the state convention. The Millerites will sup port anybody for state chairman to beat Bra j* ton. TOOK OUT HIS INTESTINES. After Thorough Cleansing They Were Put Back in Place. Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 16.—Alonzo Neill, tile desperado who was shot at Molino yesterday, is in a fair way to recovery. Late last night Dr. W. E. Anderson per formed a most delicate but successful sur gical operation upon the wounded man.

The wounded intestines were thoroughly cleaned and sewed and the stomach relieved of a large quantity of blood. But for tins operation Neill oould not have lived. LEPROSY AT BLUFF SPRINGS. The People of the Town Want the Sufferers Isolated. Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 16.— The people of Bluff Springs, a thriving little village on the Louisville and Nashville railroad forty five mile* north of here, are aroused over the arrival in that vicinity of a family supposed to be afflicted with leprosy.

THE MORNING NEWS : WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1890. SESSION" OF THE SENATE. THE DAY OPENED WITH THE PAS BAOa OF THREE BILLS. One of Them Provides for the Pur chase of the Townsend Library—An other is to Repair the Road at Pensa cola Land Grant Forfeiture Dis cussed. * Washington, Sept. 16. —In the Senate to-day the House bill to provide for the holding of regular terms of the circuit and district courts of the Western district of Virginia was taken from the calendar and passed with amendments. The Senate then devoted one hour to bills on the calendar unobjected tk The first biil on the calendar was the Senate bill author izing the librarian of congress to purchase, at not exceeding $30,000. the Townsend library of national, state and individual records concerning the origin, progress and consequences of the late civil war. The bill occupied the entire hour, and was then passed by a vote of 27 yeas to 17 nays. The Senate bill appropriating $lO/100 for the improvement of the road to the national cemetery near Pensacola, Fla, was also passed. LAND GRANT FORFEITURE. The conference report on the railroad land forfeiture bill was resumed and Mr. Morgan cantinued his argument against it. It would forfeit lands of one little line from Gadsden, up toward Chattanooga, a com pany for the construction of which had nevor been even organized and for which a claim had never been made. No body had ever disputed that .those lands belong to the government. What else did tne government get under the pending bill? Nothing whatever, except lands for 225 miles on the line between Walla Walla and Portland, and yet the bill was called a land grant forfeiture bill. It was a mere sham and pretense, nothing but a mere political performance invented to get up the idea that congress was forfeiting railro id land grants, while the whole of the provisions of the bill were to confirm the title of the great railroad companies to th sir lands. HOW A ROAD WAS PASSED. Mr. Morgan related an incident connected with a railroad grant in Alabama wherin a land office official in that state came to Washington, and finding that patents for the grant hail been signed at the land office went to the railroad company aud offered to get their land patented for a ocmrnission of 10 per cent Tue offer had been accepted and this man had received 76,000 acres. The pending bill would oouflrin that fraud. That was why he opposed it. Any senator who wanted to sustain that fraud might vote for the bill. That was all that be wanted to say, and with that he closed his speech. The conference report was agreed tobya vote of 80 yeas to 18 nays—a strict party vote. THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL PASSED. The House anti-lottery bill was then taken up from the calendar, and passed without a word of discussion, and the Senate took up the House bill to repeal the timber cul ture laws. Mr. Plumb, who reported the bill bact from the committee on public lands, moved an amendment in the nature of a substitute, this substitute was itself amended at the suggestion of seVeral sena tors, and was then passed, and a conference asked with the House on the disagreeing votes. Messrs. Plumb, Pettigrew and Wal thall were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. The Senate then took up from the calendar the Senate bill to establish a United States land court aud to provide for a settlement of private land claims in certain states and territories. The bill, having been read, was laid aside until to-morrow, and the Senate at 4:45 o’clock adjourned. BATTLBB WITH BALL AND BAT. The Results of the Day’s Games All Oyer the Country.

One of the most curious tilings in the world to contemplate Is the location here in the very capital of the United States of a number of patches of land which are not parts of United States territory nor subject to the laws of this nation, boing, in fact, portions or fragments of foreign countries scattered about Washington. The United States does not possess over the foreign legations even the right of “eminent do main”—that is to say, it has not the power to take possession of them, as it cau do with any other land in the country, by condemn ing and paying for the property. Nay, more, its authority cannot cross their boundaries without permission. To attempt to enter a legation and arrest a minister, any member of his family, one of his suite, a servant, or a guest within his gates would be a oasus belli with the nation so outraged, unless ample amends for tho transgression were made. Not only are the land aud house ocoupled sacred, but the furniture and all things appertaining to it. Nothing in it can be seized for debt or to satisfy any legal process. N.t long ago a minister from a South American republic bought $1,200 worth of dude olotces m New York city and had them sent ou here C. O. D. The goods were delivered at the legation, but the money could not be obtained. Once in poss ssion of tbe clothing, the diplomat simply refused payment, and, inasmuch as it was impos sible to bring any legal process, the express company, which was responsible for the amouut, was out of pocket that much. If it had brought an action to recover accord ing to law, every person who took part iu bringing and prosecuting the action, includ ing the solicitor employed aud the officer who attempted to carry it into effect, would have been deemed a “violator of the laws of nations and a disturber of the public re jwse,” subject to sentence of imprisonment tor not more than three years and fines at the discretion of the court. Many of tbe young attaches of the legations here have made use of their immunity in this regard to run heavily in debt. The United States government never interferes in such mat ters, considering them beneath the dignity of its notice; its notion is that tradesmen, knowing the privilege* of these people from abroad, should look out for their own pro tection. But the immunity of the diplomat from legal nr cess does not merely attach to him and his property within the bounds of his legation. He is not subject to arrest any where or under any circumstances in this country. The law says he is “entitle! to entire exemption from local jurisdiction, either civil or criminal. Wherever he goes the minister represents the rights and dig nity of the sovereign or state by which ne is delegated; bis person is sacred and invio lable.” And this inviolability extends to his suite, family, and servants, none of whom is subject to United States laws or to arrest on any account, even for murder. During the last administration there was a secretary of a foreign legation here who used to take flagrant advantage of his im munity in this regard. It was his custom to go down town every night, visit the variety theaters or gambling houses, get fighting drunk, and raise bail Columbia generally. Whon it was proposed to arrest him be would fall back upon the sacredness of his person and defy the minions of the law. The latter, however, finally adopted the plan of pretending that they did not know who he was and locking him up for the night, liberating him in the morning wi’h profuse apologies, of course. The sacredness attaching to foreign sover eignty or its representative was once ap pealed to with singular want of success by a cortaia young prince visiting here, who enjoyed no such immunity by law, how ever, because he was in no way accredited to this country. He insulted u lady at a party In Washing ton while under the influence of a trifle too much wine, and a friend of hers, catching him afterward on the pavement outside, addressed him with hostile intent. “What!” exclaimed tho prince, agast, “would you str-r-ike a son of r-royalty?” “No,” said the o(her, “but I would strike a drunken son of a gun.” Whereupon he hit the prince a righthander in the eye. If the minister from the Cannibal Islands chose to murder one of his attaches or ser vants the United States government would make no attempt to punish him for the crime; it would simply communicate the fact to the Cannibal Islands’ foreign office and request that something bo done. Even supposing that the minister should choose to kill an Altierican citizen, ha would not be arrested here. The notification sent to the home office would simply be more urgent, that is all. The people of the lega tions are subject only to tho laws of their own countries. Wneij au oriental prince hanged himself out of a window of his coun try’s legation a while ago, for unrequited love of a Washington girl, and no facts about the case were given to the police, no action was taken in the matter, though very likely the department of state may have made a private inquiry. According to law, if the servant of a minister commits a crime here he may bo tried and sentenced by the minister, but the practice is to send the accused home for trial. On the whole, considering their immuni ties, ihe people of the logations are very well behaved. An offense committed by thorn is an exceptional thing. Soma of them are addicted to much faster driving than the law permits the American citizens of Washington to in lulgo in. Most notice able of the offenders in this way at present is an attache who is extremely fond of driv ing a beautiful stallion along the avenues at breakneck speed. A secretary of another legation has a playful way of riding his horse up to the doors of shops across the sidewalks. Ha has been accosted more than once by policemen for this sort of proceed ing, but he coolly defies the officers, telling them, as he twirls his moustache with exas perating sangfroid, that he ia attached to a legation, and that they dare not arrest him. Sir Julian Pauncef ote cannot be compelled to have the snow shoveled off from his side walk in winter; he might let it lie three feet deep for months and all the power of ttio United States government could not com pel him to remove It. And yet Attorney General Brewste* was arrested here during his official term for failure to clear his front pavement of snow. Certainly the German minister could set fire to his legation build ing and burn it down to the ground without anybody being able to say “boo” to him. That reminds one of the curious incident that ocourred not long ago. A prominent mluister thought that he would like to show a few frionds how prompt an American fire department was, compared with the effete European service. So he sprung au alarm, and within four minutes half a dozen en gines and hose carriages came dashing up, with n hook and ladder truck for emergen cies. When the distinguished representative of a European throne courteously explained that he had only done it for fun, the fire captain replied rather grimly that that sort of fun cost an American citizen just SSO, though, of course, the fine could not t*e en forced against the perpetrator of the offense in this case. However, the minister being a gentleman, offered his apologies and insisted upon paying the SSO, which he did. But, as has been said, the ministers and their attaches usually take good care not to offend against the laws and customs of this country. Exempt as they are from local jurisdiction, criminal and civil, they cannot make themselves aunoyiug without render ing themselves undesired guests iu the eyes of our government. Once so regarded they are likely to be requested to go home. Sucn a request is not conveyed directly to them, of course; but their governments are re spectfully asked to recall them. If any demand of the sort were not complied with, as it al ways is, the objectionable diplomat would undoubtedly be sent back nolens volcns. The person and papers of a minister cau nover be seized unless he is regarded as a menace to the country wherein he resides; in that case it is necessary i.i self defense to arrest him and send him away under escort. Ho might be plotting a revolution, you see. A minister some years ago occasioned some scandal in Washington. Some pretty wiki aud wend festivities were frequent in his house. In the morning after a party at the legation the whole frout sidewalk would usually be found covered with packs of cards scattered like snow, which had been thrown out of the window during the night’s gambling. The yard in the rear would be sti'ewn thickly likewise. A sec retary of a foreign legation in Lincoln’s time was arrested on the street for most improper behavior; but he made complaint and secured the dismissal of the policeman who took him in. So palpable was this injustice that Sec. Soward employed the man at much higher pay as his own special watchman in the department of state, where the secretary was compelled to see him every time he made an official call. One privilege enjoyed by dipl mats in Wash ington is that of importing from abroad, free of duty, whatever they want for their own personal use. Some or them have boon charged with smuggling in this wav on a largo scale, though whether truly or not it is impossible to s%y. One attache has been receutly aeousod of being in partnership with a wine merchant and supplying the stock in trade. The sacred and inviolable character of a legation does not inhere in the ground or the dwelling, but simply in the fact of their occupancy by a foreign embassy. Thus you will find that only the British, German, and Moxieau legations own the property they occupy. If any legation move*, the house it leaves at onoe ceases to he sacred, while the one it goes into takes ou that quality immediately. Speaking of moving, the Chinese legation, one summer not \, ry long ago, re .ted a big houee much larther down town than the ope it at present occupies. Tho minister dia not like the sofas aud chairs t>*cau-e they wore white, being cov ered with linen for the hot season. So he obliged the owner to buy now furniture. Howover, whon the oaairs and sofas were being loaded on moving wagons to take them away trune of the covers came partly off, exposing tbe brilliant red damask be neath. Now, red is tbe royal color in China, and when the members of the lega , tion saw it aud perceived their mistake they gave a about of delight and demanded that the furniture be at onoe restored. Thus the proprietor of the house found himself several hundred dollars out of pocket, and all for nothing. The funniest thing in connection with this government’s diplomatic relations is the let ters sent to the President of the United States by the rulers of other nations an nouncing births and such events in sover eign families. Such communications are the custom among the powers, and there is a stereotyped form for them. For instance, on the occasion of the last important domes tic happening in the household of Queen Victoria a letter came from her to President Harrison as follows: Victoria Queen of Great Britain, Empress of India, Defender of the Faith, <tc., <tc., to Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States: Great AND Good Friend: I have the pleasure of announcing to you the birth of a fine boy on the 21st instant to my granddaughter, the Princess Henry of Battenberg. who is doing as well as can be expected. This event will doubtless cement the cordial relations existing between our governments. Your go >d friend, Victoria. This letter is written on blue-ruled paper, and to it President Harrison replies, on white vellum paper in a big sheet, as fol lows: Great and Good Friend: I have received the pleasant news conveyed to me by your communi cation of the 22d inst.. and am glad that the happy event came of safely. It is my earnest prayer and expecttaion that the said event will strengthen the bonds of amity and friendship which so happily suhsist between our two governments. Your good friend, Bknjaxix Harrison. It is worth noting that the President never soes these letters from Queen Victoria and other sovereigns st all, and the replies, which are written in an elegant, Spencerian hand by a $1,200 clerk in the department of state, are merely taken to him for his signature. Such is the nonseuse of diplo macy. ■M.KDICAC.
