MB. KILL’S BILL TO MASt IT $lO
SNOWED UNDER
Representative Hart ridge M kes a
Point Against the Talk of utting
Down the Salary-Norman t u Retain
His . eat-Georgia's Property in Ten
nessee Reported Sold for Taxes.
At:. a. vta, Ga, Dee. 2 Whatever may
be tie i&uit of the present legislature, de- .
preciatiou of ability cannot be oi.argon
agaiust it. Mr. Hili of Meriwether found
this out to day when a veritable cyclone of
eloquence aud opposition swept the bill for
lump sum payment of legislators into the
domain of defeat. Toe bill had been made
the special order, and in a Tory few minutes
Mr. Hill found out tout he was about the
only #HiO man in the Ho ie. Mr. Atkinson
of Oowe.i bad to go out m the corridor to
k->ep fr ai putting sarcastic screws to Mr.
Hiti, who is his kinsman. There are others
who reiished such work, however.
While the bill should have gone
to the general judiciary committee,
it was. at Mr. Hill's request, committed to
the general agricultural oommiuee. The
adverse report, however, was mad* the j
tenor of Mr. Hill's argument, which was tLat
prolonging tne session was u constitutional. |
and that a lump sum payment would pre
vent prolongation,
Mr. Humphreys asked permission to in
troduce a resolution, and when i: was real
it was found that it provided that the hill
should te only operative regarding tae rep
resentative from Meriwether. (Laughter
greeted this.]
Mr. Hul fe.t resentful, and launched forth
into a stern ta.k about consuming ihe state’s
morey.
Mr. Hardeman favored rf dice g the length
of the session, hut aid nothing about sal
aries.
H VRTRIDGE'S GOOD POINT.
Mr. Harp idge's treatment of the bill in
his talk made it unpleasant for others to
fol.ow in favor of it. This talk was on the
line that e\ ery representative made pecun
iary sacrifices in coming to the legislature,
ami that the bill insulted them by imply
ing that the members prolonged the ses
sion for wbat there was iu it.
Mr. Fleming said that the interests of the
state would be jeopardized by the passage
cf the bill. Mr. Everett spoke of having
heard of the gentleman from Meriwether
os oraiuv and conservative, and he wa
surprised fit tue t ill offered by him.
Other debaters were in waiting, but "the
pre. ious qu.-s ion" teing demanded a vote
war taken and the bill was lost by a tally
of lIS a,,aiust it, to 38 in its lavor.
The other special order bill was the one
introduced by Mr. Martiu appropriating
fIk.UUO for the improvement of t .e Capitol
gr u ids. It as passed.
YY'biie the journal was being read Mr.
Fleming gave notice that he moved to re
consider the bill of Mr. Calvin, his col
league. passed yesterday, making iron-clad
the requireme it that all cotton seed meal
be ana.yzed by the chemist, and that the
sale on any containing less than 7]* per
cent, of ammonia be a misdemeanor. He
p intrd out a logical reason f >r the request,
and Air. Calvin concurring the bill was re
committed to the general judiciary cutn
tnittc-e.^
NORMAN SATE.
Mr. Ncrmati of Liberty is entrenched in
bis seat. YV hen Mr. Martin of the elect ions
comr ttee reported adversely to the claims
of Jsmei, the negro contestant. Lectured
Crawford, the negro member fnm M>
lntosh, opjxvsed the report and snoke at
some length. The c iminittee bad found
that Mr. Miller was disqualified as election
supervisor in the Midway section, ana this
threw out the vote from there, and insures!
Norman's election. Ihe committee's report
was ct nfirmed by the House,the two colored
members voting nay.
Air. Johnson of Appling introduced a bill
requiri 'g railroad companies tn Georgia t >
furnish separate coaches, equally appointed,
for w hites and blanks; also a bill providing
for the registration of voters in Appling
county by the tax receiver.
Tbe bill iutrodu-ed by Mr. Gilbert, re
enacting the clause about readme bills the
first time bv captions ratified by the voters
at the last elect ion, but void through a mis
take in advertising, was recommended.
Messrs. Twitty and Atkinson of Coweta
raced the points that general bills should
be read fuily on introduction. Bills might
Subsequently be read by caption.
THE STATE PROPERTY IN TENNESSEE.
Mr. Whitfield called up the resolution in
structing the state attorney to look after
the state’s property in Chattanooga. He
had information tnat pr perty that should
be worth *I,UOU.OOO, o ned by the rate at
the lerniinus of the Western and Atlantic
railroad at Chattanooga had been sold for
taxes, cut ud for streets and otherwise de
preciated. He warned the matter looked
into. The resolution passed.
Mr. Jackson introduced a resolution,
which was noi read, owing bv the hour of
adj urnment arriving, wntch appoints a
C mmittee to learn bow much taxes are due
the sta eby the state road. Tne bill is the
Hist step toward arbitration on the subject.
Mr. Whitfield's matter may be referred to
the same committee when the attorney
general makes bis retort.
Mr. Bush's resolution that after Dec. 5
no new business sba 1 be introduced except
by a three-fourths vote, was passed.
The penalty of #SJ incurred by the Brit
ish America Insurance Company as re
funded to-dav on showing that there was
oo intention to evade payment.
Mr. Fleming announced that two bills
were before the general ass mblv, one hav
ing pas-ed in the Senate, prohibiting Sun
day excursions, and one is pending in the
House, their provi ions, however being dis
similar, and he moved re!ere oe of bo h
bars to tbe laiiroad committee, an I the
House acq deseed. This saves Sunday ex

THE AGENT IN WASHINGTON.
Peek, the agent, is said to tie in Washing
ton attempting to arrange forth, transpor

about 3JO here, across the ocean. Reports
come from other cities of a similar move
ment there, and no one is able to

elsewhere wants to procure hands. E. C.

Atlanta, Ga. , Dec. 2. —In the Senate

pressed.
More common school bills were Intro

a sweeping revision of the present law on

possible, to remove control of the scnools

board* and concentrate it in the -person of
district trustees, whose business it
shall be to employ and pay
tne teacher an! supervise the schools. Each
militia district Is made also a school district,
and in this territory tbe trustee is to be

A SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX.
Mr. Ellington's new school bill makes it
lawful to raise a special school tax in any

/
His Manner in Mond y’s Meeting De
scribed as Very Arrogant The Bo t
ers Called to Account in Very Sb rp
Woda-The Discussion to be Re
sumed To-day.
London, Dec. 2. —Mr. Parnell was pres
ent iu tbe library of the House of Commons
at 10 o'clock this morning. His supp irte s
among the Irish members of the H >u*e were
aio present, anl a conference was he and be
tween them and their leader. Pursuant to
adjournment the meeting of the Irish
members of the H >u-e of Cim non* to
consider tie advisability of removing Mr.
Parnell from bis position as leader of the
nationalist party was resumed iu a ro m of
the Houso of Cotamo is at noo i to day.
Air. Parnell was the first member of tne
party to arrive at the place of inee iug.
During the pr r -edlngs reporters were ex
cluded from the corridors.
FARNELL'S ARROGANCE.
Further details of ye terdav’s meeting of
the Parnellites do not modify any of the
unplea-*a:it characterics of the affur. Mr.
Parnell is de cribed as arrogant aud over
bearing, ready with angry retort to th ise
who s. oke against him and charaeerizing
Mr. Healy as ins lent and imper
tinent. To-day’s meeting was attended
by similar scenes. Mr. Parnell a.tacked
.Mr. Ba ry and others for s rutting dispatches
to America to mlluene tne delegates there.
Mr. Sexton was sharply oslled to acc iunt
by several of M . Parnell’s friends for hav
ing telegraphed tc T. P. O’Connor in
America that a majority of the Ho ne Rule
party favored the retirement of Mr. Bar
nelL Mr. Sexton was called upon to with
draw that statement.
NO CONCLUSION RSACRED VST.
No conclusion was reached to-day and no
vote was taken. The pirty will resume
to-morrow the discu sion of Mr. Barry’s
motion for the retirement of Mr. Parnell.
Messrs. Arnold, Morlev, Sir George
Trevyian, Mr. Campbe.l-fiannerman, Sir
William Vernon Hare >urt, Earl Granville
and Mr. Snaw assembled at Mr. Glad
stone’* residence this morniug and
conferred for an hour with
theex-uremier. The subject under discus
sion was the retirement of the liberal leader.
I was decided to convoke a meeting of the
liber ll prople and m-unoers of the H .use of
Commons to hear a statement by Mr. Glad
stone*
PARNELL WANTS TO EXPLAIN.
YYhen the meeting reconvened after din
ner Mr. Parneil said he desired to exolam
the misunderstanding between himself and
Mr. Lime that had arisen out of the Barry
incident.
Mr. Healy complained of Mr. Par
nell's unfair methods as chairman,
aud a heated altercation ensued. Mr.
Sexton finally appealed to Mr. H aly to
allow Mr. Parnell the greatest possible lati
tude. and order was rest red. It was then
elicited that Mr. Parnell’s secretary {Mr.
Campbell) gave Mr. iu by of tue Free
man's Journal his own opinion
that Mr. Parnell would volun
tarily retire. Mr. Tuohy repeated
in the lobbies of parliament this
assertion. Mr. i,ane admitted that the re
port had not influenced bun at the Leinster
meeting. Mr. Tuohy was dubious about
having conveyed such au impression, but
Mr. McCarthy testified that Mr. Tuohy gave
him to understand that Mr. Parnell would
resign. Others said tnat Mr. Campbell de
clared that Mr. Parnell would retain the
chairmanship. The subject was then
dropped.
LOC AL BRANCHES STAND BY HIM.
Tbe local branches of the National
League, boards of poor law guardians and
other local organizaiionsin irel md in great
numbers continue to pass resolutions favor
ing Mr. Panell and instructing thrir rep
resented ves in parliament to uphold him,
in 9oaie cases declaring that they must
either do that or resign.
HARCOCRT’S INTERVIEW.
Sir YY’iliiam Vernon Ha-court has written
a letter in which he confirms Mr. Mc-
Carthy’* statement made at the Parnel Ute
meeting last night relative to what took
place between them a - the time of Mr. Mc-
Carthy's recent visit to bitn. Sir Harcourt
further says that he did n t regard Mr.
Parnell’s prop osals as practical. He told
Mr. McCarthy that the condition of
secrecy was iuadmissabie. A document ac
cepting the propo a s c.uli be of no value
to Mr. Parnell, or any one el*-?, unless its
contents were made known. Besides, Sir
Harcourc says. lie did not attaca any im
portance to Mr. Parnell’s pledge of in
violable secrecy. The irisi party and
Irish nation possessed higher and
more lasting security than any secret
neg tiatious or individual pledge’s iu the
unquestionable fact that no party, no
leaders c mid ever propose or hope to carry
any scheme for home rule which did not
have the concurre ee and support of the
I ushteople as declined by its reprase da
tives in parliament. In conclusion, Sir
William rays that the statements of Mr.
Parnell reaiug to his (Sir William’s) views
are unworthy of notice and ODoosed to tne
truth.
AN ALLIANCE UNAVOIDABLE.
When the Parnellites r assembled this
evening M. J. Kenny declared that it
w ouid be impossible t> obtain home rule
witoout forming au alliance with an Eng
lish party. He strongly objected torabor
dinating the interest! of tue Irish people tn
any particular mai . Mr. Parnell, tie said, -
had been offered an honorable comproiu.se.
The Chairman—“ What was itP
Mr. Kenny—To retire temporarily.
"But instead of accepting this ofle-," said
Mr. Kenny, “Mr. Pan ell hss issued a man

sonal issue was raised?" [cheers ]
PARNELL NOT T HE WHOLE PARTY.
He (Kenny) had little hope for the future
of the Irish par y if they defended upon
their chairman to save them from the
chicanery of English statesmen. Irishmen
ooked to their represe natives in the House
of Cos unions, no. Cos Mr. Parnell alone, for
salvation. If Mr Parne.l hid beei keenly
desirous of saving the situation he wuaid
have v itiidi awn. By adopting that c urso
Le couid have continued to b us-fm to
Ireland. Bat his present poli'-y tended to
render home rule impassible.
J. F. X O'Brien and dared that they had
had little leaiersiup from air. Parnell* in re
cent years. After ti.e exposure resulting
from the divorce suit he had Coma to the
conclusion that Mr. Barneii's continuance
iu toe leadership w.uid be an in tolerable
disgrace.
THE SPEAKER INTERRCPTED.
