THE ILLINOIS FOND.
iv. Attempt in the Legislature to Take
j. out of the E ands of the Farmers—
VVcmen of World Wide Prominence
Added to the Wcmen's Auxilary
Committee.
Springfield, 111., March 26.—There was
a row started in the legislature to-day over
world’s fair matters which is likely to cause
serious trouble. A large number of members
sf e di-satified with the provision of the
world’s fair bill whioh places the disposition
of the $1,000,000 which it is proposed to ap
propriate for a state exhibit in the hands of
tbe state board of agriculture. A resolution
was introduced to-day depriving the board
of its authority on the ground that it
represents but one interest in the state, that
of agriculture, and plaoing it in the hands
of a special commission of twenty-five mem
bers to be selected from the congres
sional districts of the state at large.
There was a wordy warfare over the resolu
t,on, which was finally referred to a com
mittee. But the end is not yet, both the
"farmers”; and city representatives beiug
determined in the matter.
THE WOMAN’S COMMITTEE.
Chicago, 111., March 26.—The general
committee of the woman’s branch of the
world’s fair to-day selected tweuty names
of well-known people as honorary members
of the auxiliary. Among them are: Queen
Victoria, Empress Eugenie, Dorothy Ten
nant Stanley, the Princess of Wales, the
Marchioness of Lome and others whose
namos are withheld until answers are re
ceived.
The electric men, who intend to make a
big exhibit at tbe Columbian exposition, are
formulating and will soon present a protest
against what they call the unfair treatment
the electrical interests are receiving at
the hands of the exposition people. They
have petitioned the world’s fair authorities
to make the building fifty per cent, larger.
Unless this is done the electrical exhibit
will have to be divided up among several
buildings and the electrioal people hold that
the electrical display would be thereby prac
tically ruined.
TENNESSEE AT THE FAIR.
Nashville, March 26.— The Senate has
rejected the bill appropriating $250,000 for
a state exhibit at the world’s fair. The
House, however, passed a bill allowing the
county authorities to appropriate money for
exhibits at the fair.
ARKANSAS NOT TO B* THERE.
Washington, March 26.—1n the Senate
to-day a bill appropriating $25,000 for
world’s fair purposes was defeated.
MARTIN TO BE LET OFF RASY.
Efforts Making to Have His Punish
ment Consist of a Fine.
Washington, March 26. Senator
Vance’s stepson, J. Harry Martin, who
startled the white house on last Saturday
nignt by breaking through the portico
window into the red parlor, was to be tried
on the charge of house-breaking in the
polioo court to-day, and appeared for that
purpose, but on account of tbe absence of
his counsel, William E. Earle, in South
Carolina, the case went over until next
ednecday. His friends, who are numer
ous and influential, hope before that time
to arrange to have the charge changed to
one of assault, so that he can be let off with
a line. A number of them have appealed
personally to the President for his assistance
to that end. He interposes no objection to
such an arrangement provided the young
man is punished with a fine.
AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
According to a publication made to-day
the President personally aided in arresting
Martin Saturday night, the two
special officers being so nervous and
excited alter wre tling with Martin
tiiat the Prebident himself cut a cord from
the heavy hangings at the window and,
while theofficers held Martin, tied his ha is
and feet securely togetner with it. He did
this, it is stated, because the officers told
him when he said as he appeared on the
scene, “W bat’s the trouble!” that it was a
member of the Mafia breaking in. It seems

SWISB ARBITRATION.
No Negotiations in Progress Now to
Secure a Treaty.
Washington, March 26.—1 t is learned at
the department of state that there ha ve been
no negotiations with Switzerland for sev
eral years, directly upon the subject of an
arbitration treaty between that country
and the United States. About eight years
ago such a treaty was under con
sideration, and negotiations proceeded so
for that the treaty was ratifitd by the
Swiss government. It is the practice in
that country to submit the draft of a treaty
to the legislative branch of the government
before it can be definitely proposed to the
other party to the treaty, which amounts
to ratification in advance of negotiations
In the case of the arbitration treaty, how
ever, when it reached Secretary Freling
huysen he noted a numbei- of objections to
the list, finding it generally too vague and
without proper limitations, so the negotia
tions lapsed.
THE PAN-AMERICAN TREATY.
When the arbitration agreement was
made between the nations of North, South
and Central America a oopy of the treaty
was sent to each European government.
This treaty was much more elaborate aod
specific in its terms than that proposed to
Secretary Frelinghuysen, and therefore
more likely to meet with the approval of
punctilious nations. It is presumed at the
department of state that if any
action has recently been taken by the
Swiss government upon the subject,
as reported in the press dispatches,
it was probably the submission by the
President of Switzerland of a copy of the
pan-American treaty to the legislature with
a recommendation that Switzerland signify
her adherence to it* provisions in response
to the invitation extended to European na
tions by the international American confer
ence.
TREATMENT OF THE HUNS.
No Cruelty or Indignities Discovered
by the Government.
Washington, March 26.—The Secretary
of the Treasury has received a report from
Immigrant Inspector Layton, dated at
Pittsburg, in regard to the case of the Hun
garians employed In the construction of a
railroad at Pocahontas, near Elkton, W. Va.
He said that the men were secured through
Mayer Kaffock of New York oity by R. L.
D. Rosenthal, as agent of the railroad com
pany, but that be (tiie inspector) had found
nothing in the transaction that could be
construed as a violation of the alien con
tract labor law. He said it was very evi
dent that the agent had deceived the men
in regard to the hours of work and the
character of the food to be furnished, but
that he himself had observed no cruelty or
indignities.
NATURE OF THE RESTRAINTS.
He added that the restraints imposed on
them were for the purpose of compelling
the payment of indebtedness for board and
ti ausportation. Reports from other sourc s
indicated that the laborers in question were
very badly treated and had been flogged
aud beateu on tbe slightest pretext; also,
that they were compelled to remain and
work out their indebtedness under penalty
of death should they attempt to e-cape.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding said this
afternoon that as there had been no viola
tion of the alien labor law that was beyond
the jurisdiction of the United States and
the men must look for redress to the state
authorities or to the courts.
OUR NEW WAR SHIPS.
Work Progressing on the Texas and
Two Gunboats.
Washington, March 26.—Charles R.
Hanscdm. representing the Bath Iron Works
of Bath, Me.; was at the navy department
to-day. He says that the two gunboats
now under construction by his firm are in a
most satisfactory state of.'progress and that
it is probable, if no delays occur
in the delivery of materia’, that they will he
launched in October. Progress has also
been made in the preparation of drawings
and specifications for the armed ram, also
under contract at this establishment, but
no outside work has been done.
Work has been resumed on the battle
ship Texas, the construction of which
was begun at the Norfolk navy
yard at the same time as tbe Maine’s
keel blocks were laid in New York,
and she is gradually assuming the appear
ance of a man-of-war. Tbe frames are up
and plated above the protective deck, and
the vessel may be launched in the autumn.
MAJ- MiMS’ GALLANTRY.
An Incident of President Cleveland’s
Visit to Atlanta.
Washington, March 26.—Apropos of the
faot that Maj. Livingston Mims of At
lanta is presiding over the convention of
southern insurance men now meeting here,
the Post says that when President Cleve
land visited Atlanta the Capital City Club
gave him a reception. Maj. Mims, as its
president, had the honor of escorting Mrs.

as to let the President pass in first. ‘‘ln the

bow, “the ladies always precede the gentle
men, even the President of the United
States,” and, again offering his arm to Mrs.
Cleveland, the gallant major led her into

ment was written, this statement was
also admitted in evidence ns his dying dec
laration. It was not in his writing and was
not signed by Mr. Taulbee, but consisted of
notes taken down by Dr. Jackson B. Taul
bee, brother of the deceased.

filed in the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to-day in behalf of George G.

him to receive a silver bar for free coinage.
This is a renewal of the “silver brick” fight
which was heretofore brought before Secre
tary Windom.
Books and the Tariff.
Washington, Maroh 26.—Assistant Sec
retary Spaulding has informed R. H. Brad
ley, tbe librarian at Raleigh, N. C., that

London, March 26.—The Chronicle'*

A LAND FULL OF PROMISE
THE TWO VIRGINIAS ARE TO BLOS
SOM L!K* THE BOSS.
Wonderful Development Along the
Line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Predicted—Large Cities and
Important Towns Expected to Spring
Up as if by Magic.
Baltimore, March 26.—The ManufarU
urer's Record publishes a special two-page
interview with President Ingalls of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad reviewing
the development of Virginia and West Vir
ginia and tbe work that the Chesapeake and
Ohio company is doing to aid it. President
Ingalls announces bis early removal from
Cincinnati to New York, that he may be in
a better position to attract capital to the
south. President Ingalls said that
it is undoubtedly true that the
country traversed by his road will beoome
as populous and as prosperous and as much
orowded with thriving manufacturing cities
and towns as any part of Pennsylvania now
is. It is a country of almost infinite
resources, and the work that has been done
during the last two years in the opening up
of this region and the building of towns and
the establishment of manufacturing enter
prises is but the beginning of an advance
ment that will create an enormous amount
of wealth, and will cause the building of
manufacturing cities along the entire line
of road in the two Virginias.
important items.
Taking the three items of coal, iron and
timber alone, there i3 a basis ot latent
wealth in the country drained by the Chesa
peake and Ohio and its branches that will
furnish a solid foundation for a large num
ber of big cities, as well as for a great many
prosperous industrial towns with popula
tions of from 5,000 to 20,000 eaoh. When
to these advantages are added the great
agricultural resources of tbe two states,
petroleum, natural gas, fire clay and other
wealth-creating resources, it can be readily
seen that there is practically no limit to the
healthy advancement of the entire country
from Newport News to Cincinnati.
A BUSY WEEK.
The Manufacturers' Record also says
that the past week has been one of the busi
est in the industrial advancement of the
south ever known. It has been a week
crowded with tbe organization and the pro
jection of solid industrial enterprises
throughout the whole south,and one of large
investments of outside capital in manu
facturing, while comparatively few new
land companies have been reported. So
numerous have been the new enterprises re
ported that it is difficult to give in a
brief summary a comprehensive idea of tbe
wide spread activity which the full record
of the week shows. Among the leading
concerns reported is a $1,500,000 company
now being organized in New York to estab
lish cotton seed oil refineries, a $15,000,000
ootnpany to build soap works throughout
the south, using cotton seed products, and a
00-operative town company in Tenueuee,
with a capitalization of $10,000,000.
BT. LOUIS TIN PLATE 3.
The Stamping Company Begins the
F rection of Works.
St. Louis, Mo., March 26.—The St. Louis
Stamping Company, of whioh ex-Congress
man Niedriughaus of this city is president,
has inaugurated the actual work of eroot
ing the first tin plate works in this city. It
is expected that when the new works are
completed it will put on the market
between 400 and 500 boxes per day,
and the capacity will be increased
as the demand requires. The iron
now used by this company in
the manufacture of tin plates comes from
Chattanooga, Tenn., but it is proposed to
establish a mammoth steel and iron
foundry just north of the new town of
Madison, Ills., founded by the Merchants’
Bridge Company. This wifi turn out all the
iron sheets used in the manufacture of tin
plate. Employment will bo given to 2,000
men. The reason for establishing the iron
mills on the east side of the river is the ac
cessibility and cheapness of fuel,there being
1,800 acres of the best coal in the country
within eleven miles of Madison.

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1891.
RECIPROCITY NfrlTH CANADA.
A Hitch In the Projected Trip of Sir
Tupper to Waehington.
Chicago, March 26. A special dispatch
from Ottawa, Ont., says: “Thore has evi
dently been some bitch in the projected trip
of Sir Charles Tupper and his colleaguee to
Washington, and it is believed that it is to
the refusal ot Newfoundland to join in the
negotiations with Canada for reciprocity
with the United States that the delay may
be attributed. It is learned, however, from
a reliable quarter, that a meeting of tho
cabinet is to be bold to discuss the matter,
when some definite notion may be decided
upon. Sir Charles Tupper’s views as to
what reciprocity should be, ami as to the
limits to which tbe Dominion govern
ment is prepared to go are somewhat at
variance. Sir Charles’ idea is more liberal
in its scope and application than tho views
of hiscolleagues. Sir Charlas during the
recent cam aign, while in Nova Scotia, as
sured the electors of that province that
whatever arrangements might lie made for
reciprocal exchange of commodities bet wen
Canada aud tbe United States, there would
be no modification in the duty imposed upon
bituminuous coal imported from the United
States. It is learned that this assurance was
given upon his own responsibility aud that
several members of the cabiuet, especially
those from Ontario, are opposed to any
such arrangement."

Arrives at Sligo Unexpectedly.
Cork, March 26.—Timothy Healy to-day
said: "The moment lam able to travel I
shall go to Sligo and take part in the electo
ral campaign. I am now convinced that
Miohael O’Brien Dalton was instigated to
assault me by persons more Important than
bimsolf. He traveled in company with Mr.
Parnell only a few days before the assault
was committed on me, and was also at Bligo
with Alderman Dillon, the Parnel Ute can
didate in North division. 1 am convinced
that a desire to disable me in order to pre
vent me from taking part in the Bligo elec
tion led to the outrage to whieh I was sub
jected.”
Iu tbe Tipperary conspiracy trial to-day,
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien aud several vis

pected.
PARNELL AT SLIGO.
Mr. Parnell unex)>octedly arrived in this
town to-night and addressed a crowd of his
admirers who had gathered in front of his
hotel. In the course of bis remarks Mr.
Parnell said th >t oven if he were defeated in

has sent to the Figaro a report ot an inter
view whioh he says took place in 1866 be

Bismarck, which that paper publishes to

Prince Bismarck proposed a close allianoe.
offensive and defensive, between Prussia
sud France, which would make these two
powers a dominating influence in Europe.
The combined powers, according to Prince
Bismarck’s plan, should proceed against
Russia and drive the Slavs back to
the stepues from which they came. Prussia
should absorb the whole of Germany, and
Franoe should make Belgium part of
her empire. Then the groat allies should
undertake to weaken the power of Great
Britain by depriving her of her colonies,

the Scandinavian countries to the rate of
satellites to themselves. This proposition,

turn to the omperor of a number of
letters whioh the latter had written to the
ex-chancellor during the lifetime of Em
peror Frederick. Prince Bismarck was said
to have refused this request, and it was
also reported that his refusal renewed the
strained relations which had existed be
tween Prince Bismarck and his sovereign.
This was understood to have put an
end to tho peace pourparlers, which were,
according to report, going on between the
prince and the emperor.
The visit of Prince Bismarck to Count
von Waldersee has given fresh Ufa to the
old rumor* and birth to a number of new
reports, among tbo old ones being one that
the emperor aud distinguished subject are
upon the eve of a reconciliation, and among
the new ones being one that the ex-ohanoel
lor will, upon certain conditions, return
some of the letters requested.
