creditors of John Ryan’s Sons of Atlanta,
Ga., met in this city to-day. Col. H. J.
Hanunonci and H. L. Culberson of Atlanta,
attorneys for the creditors, were present.
Coi. Harpmond explained the different
phases of the case, and tried to
give the impression that the replevin
suits, which are instituted for the hecivery
of about $150,000 worth of goods, would
not be successful. He stated that the liti
gation would, in all probability, last two
years, and the result would he that not oven
the ilOoents offered would he realized, while
the unsecured creditors would get nothing.
Mr. Culberson took a different view of
the replevin matter, hut though that in
any event it would be best for the creditors
to accept the SO cents.
Tiio meeting took no action, but the feel
mg of those piesent was that the 30 cents
< uici be aocepted by the unsecured cred
itors tmU that 35 cents should he offered
those who hold the replevined goods.

consul in this city four months ago to go to
Maraanho, Brazil, where easy work and
good pay was promised them.
The highest wages they could
get when they arrived thero was 17
cents a day, and they were employed at
felling trees and clearing lumber lands.
IV hoa they found they could not moke a
living they applied to Antonio Jose Ovarsh,

DI ICON TEN T IN HAWAII.
The Queen Unpopu ar and the Labor
Party Makes R*d‘cal Demands.
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 2.—Hono
lulu letters sav the new Hawaiian queen
grows daily more unpopular with natives
ami Americans. She takes no pains to con
ceal her favoritism for the English, and
ignores the sufferings of the natives at the
hands of too big sugar corporation.
THE REPUBLICAN FEELING
in the island is spreading rapidly. The
platform of the recently formed labor party
demands anew constitution, a republican
form of government and hints at annexa
tion to tbe United States.
The recent oensus shows that over one
half the white population has left the island
in the last six years, having been crowded
out by the Asiatio coolies imported by the
sugar planters, aud the natives are rapidly
dying off.

unknown.”

its tragic sequence, at least temporarily.
Nearly all the excitement bas subsided. It
is reported that Derrick, auother of the
robbers, still at large, is in close quarters in
the northern part of the county. Every
effort is bemg made to bring the outlaw to
justice.

Chicago, Bept. 2.—The national board
of lady managers of tbe Columbian exposi
tion met this afternoon and proceeded to
the election of a secretary as the first busi
ness of the session. It was supposed that

tion, but, without opposition to speak of,
Mrs. Susau Gale Oook, who has bee* occu
pying tho place since Miss Cozens was de
posed, was duly chosen.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1891.
MINISTER EGAN FOUND.
HE SENDS A SIGNIFICANT BUT BE
LATED TELEGRAM.
Acting Secretary Wharton Tele
graphed for Full Details of the Re
cent Change In Chile’s Government
and an Explanation of His Course—
He Is Ordered to Recognize the New
Order of Things Unofficially Mr.
McCreery Spoken of as Egan’s Suc
cessor.
Was hington, Sept. 2.— The navy de
partment, through Admiral Brown, having
found Minister Egau fur the state depart
ment, stirred him up to send the significant
though belatxi cablegram received to-day.
Acting Secretary Wharton at once tele
graphed the minister, who has not boon re
called as yet, to forward full details and an
explanation of his course.
to be unofficially recognized.
Meanwhile be is to recognize the new gov
ernment unofficially by the protection of
Americans and American interests, bat tho
faot that his usefulness as a minister is gone
is recognized, and he will not bo kept long.
It is possible, and even probable, that in
the effort to conciliate the now government
tho administration may promote the popular
McCreery to be Minister Egan’s successor. At
the state department, as at tbe navy depart
ment, the effect of the President's deter
mination to recognize tbe new government
practically at once, although the formal
official declaration of recognition may be
delayed, is apparent.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 2.—At last (he de
partment of state has heard directly from
Minister Egan. The news came in tho shape
of the following cablegram:
Santiago, Sept. 1,1801.
Secretary Blaine, Washington:
A decisive battle too place at Valghralso Aug.
98. Tlie revolution was entirely successful.
President Balmaoeda resigned on Aug id. Tne
revolutionists aro successfully installed. Every
thing is tranquil. Euan.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
The delay in rooeiving this report has
been solvod tiy the state department. Act
ing Secretary Wharton has received in
formation tnat the telegraphic connection
between Santiago and Valparaiso, the west
ern terminus, had been cut and Had just
been restored, and that the line eastward
from Santiago to Buenos Ayres was inter
rupted by the l.eavy snow in the mountains.
Although Minister Egan’s cablegram
officially indicates the success of what he
describes as a revolution he has not yet in
formed the department of slate that a gov
ernment has beon sst up that may bs recog
nized us a government of tbe peoplo or rep
resentative of tho oountry. Accordingly
tho department will probably await further
detailed information from the minister be
fore according a formal recognition to the
new government.
RESTRAINED FROM PAYING A NOTE.
London, Sept. 3.—The injunction ap
plied for on behalf of the agent of tho-junta,
or provisional government of Chile, was
granted ia court to-day restraining the
City Bank from paying or negotiating,
until the case is decided by trial, or until a
further order is granted, a bill of exchange
for $75,000 drawn on the National Bank of
Chile, made payable to Seuor Joaquin

ONLY 2 PBS C®NT. NOW.
The Secretary of the Treasury Issues
an Important Circular.
Washington, Sept. 2.— Tire interest on
the uncontinued 4>j per ceDt. bonds ceased
to-day. Tho amount presented for re
demption up to noon was #1,390,000, making
a total to date of $3,300,000 presented at
the treasury department for that purpose.
The Secretary of the Treasury issued the
following circular in regard to ths con
tinuance of the 4 : j per cent, bonds:
Public notice is herzby given that the time
within which the bonds of the par cent, loan
will be received at tile office of tbe Secretary of
the Treasury for continuance with interest at
the rate of 2 per cent, per annum has been ex
tended until further notice, aud the circular of
July 8. 1891, under which the said
bonds have heretofore bren received
for continuance, is modified accordingly. In
terest at the ra> eof i*4 par cent, on nil the
bonds of said loan will cease this day, in ac
cordance with the terms of the circular of .June
i, 1891. but bonds presented for continuance
will bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per
annum from Sept. ?, 1891.
CAUSE OF TIIK EXTENSION.
Sec,■o’ary Foster said this afternoon that
the extension of time for the continuance of
the 4ls per cent, bonds i3 made because of
the fact, developed byjjcorrespondenca, that
some holders of bods, through absence or
other causes, have been unable to present
thorn for continuance within the time speci
fied In the former circular. Tho nrnount of
4)4 per cent, bonds contmuod at 2 per cent,
to-day is $144,450, making the total contin
ued under the circular of July 2 $ 34,554,0 ;0.
Of these bonds #3,510,900 were held by in
dividuals and $20,007, ILK) were hold by na
tional banks as a basis of circulation.
THE NATIONAL BANK HOLDINGS.
There are still $1,580,653 4}£ per cent,
bonds held by about fifty national banks to
secure their circulation, nearly all of which
will probably be presented for continuance
at 3 per cent. Because of their being now
“non-interest bearing bonds” they are no
longer available a? security for national
bank circulation, and if not continued at 2
per cent, will have to be replaced as 4 per
cent, bonds. Otherwise tho national bank
circulation which they represent will have
to be reduced accordingly.
AMOUNT PRESENTED FOR REDEMPTION.
The total amount of per cent, bonds
presented for redemption to date is tfi,487,-
900. Tut? includes ail the bonds received at
the tree ury department up to the close of
business to'day, amounting to $3,986,700,
and all that have been received
at the New York sub-treasury up
to 2 o’clock this afternoon, aggregating
$2,501,000. They will be redeemed in gold,
if gold is demanded, as soon as the depart
ment finds that the proper requirements
have been complied with. There are $20,-
500,000 4'4 per ceuts outstanding in addition
to those otherwise disp sed of as above
stated.

the Nicaraguan Senate—'ten. Flavor,
who wai funnorly President of
the republic; J. I). Rodriguez, and
H. Chamorro. The others wire A. H.
Rivas, R. G use man and Pedro Ortez. There

threats against his life having bam made
openly. The exiles sont away to-day have
beou the most pydhounoed in their opposi
tion to the president, and ho finally deter
mined to senAMihom out of the couutry.
II s notion led to an open re
volt in Granada city, where the
parties all live, which resulted in’ blood
shed. The prisoners were placed in a wagon
to-day to be taken to the railroad station
and sent by a special train to Corinto. Tho
wagon, guarded by troops, was passing
through the streets when it v. a? surrounded
by a mob

governor of the district, the lieutenant
o nnrnauding tho troops, thu- ■ soldiers and
two by-standers. More troops wore brought

without any further loss.of life.
The prisoners were sent to Corinto and

OPEN HOSTILITIES EXPECTED.
Both Nicaragua and Honduras nave
troops stationed on the frontier, and Often
hostilities between the two countries are

can federation hem led to jealousy aud ill
feeling among the different republic?.
The troops of Salvudor and Guatemala

The election in Guatemala for a successor
to President Barrillas will, it is believed, bo
tho signal for un opening of tho conflict in
Central Ameriaa.

recollections of bedan is bound a feeling of
gratitude for the spirit of self-saorlftoo by
w hich such brilliant results wore gained.and
satisfaction at the progress mad? since in
the sentiment of solidarity, leading us to
vow to hold and protect the blessings won.”
The Post says: ,“It is a gr,-at error to
dissimulate ou the faot that the position is
becoming worse. We celebrated a victory
that, saw arise the aurora of the German
empire. In recalling Count von Moltke’s
saying that Germany must remaiu
fifty years under arms in order
to keep what she had won ut
Bedan, we havo no desire to trouble the
peace; but if others provoke war, Germany
will bo resolute and will fight as courag
eously es twenty years aso, confident in
God’s aid.”
The Kreuz Zeitung says: “If war is in
evitable, it will be a struggle of wbioh the
world has never seen the like. Our splendid
array and generals of proved capacity and
oourage, and the energy of the emperor,
give us confidence in the result, which will
involve the very existence of Germany. If
we are beaten it will be Jti nis Her manioc.' ’
Tbe Frcisinnige Zeitung says: “Ger
many, unified after Sedan, will remain ne.
In spite of divergence between Ger
man political parties, all are resolved to
maintain what was gotten at the cost of
much carnage. More liberal institutions
would further strengthen the empire.”
Pastor Storecker, m a letter to tbe Das
Volk, says : “The men of Germany may
soon be summoned to defend the privi
leges won on the bloody fields of 1870 and
to fight for unity, honor and liberty. At
the critical moment the Catholics, social
ists and all Germans alike will do their
duty."
WILL NOT BEGIN A WAR.
London, Sept. 2. —The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says: “The Uer
man papors, commenting upon the Sedan
day, dilate upon the situation requiring Ger
many to be more alert than ever, but they
are unanimous that Germany will never
begin a war, however provoked.”
NO REFERENCE MADE IN PARIS PAPERS.
Paris, Sept. 2.-—The papers of this oity

war of 1870 with a light heart. He declare?
that King William atnl Prince Bismarck
purposely outraged Franco and imposed the
war.
An article by M. Zola in Figaro, pro
claiming the necessity of wiping out the
memory of Sedan, is the sensation of tho
day. M. Zoia soys: “France is ready, anil
henceforth has nothing to fear. Time ha 9
worked for u 9 against tho con
querors. Germany is at her apogee
of power. Already one almost hears the
voice of the tom (test that will sweep away
another imperial dynasty and cause to
totter the one that has put forth its utmost
efforts. Its best days aro over. France
surviving Bedan, and drawing strength
from defeat, is invincible.”

THE DARDANELLES INCIDENT.
Not Probable That Any Immediate
Serious depute Will Arise.
London, Sept. 2. —A high official in the
foreign office thinks it improbable that an
mnindiate serious dispute will arise over'the
sultan’s permitting the Russian ship Mas
co wto pass through the Dardanelles. Offi
cial dispatches record the fact that the
Moscow's stoppage at the entrance to
the straits was due to a breach of the regu
lation requiring that notice be sent to the
porte ana a sultan's fireman be obtained
before making the passage. The Russian
government replied that the customary
notice was unnecessary, as the only mili
tary aboard were soldiers who had been
discharged, having served their time.
A PRECEDENT FOR RUSSIA.
A similar ease occurred in April, when
the Russian ship, under a commercial (lag,
carrying soldiers anil ear material, was
permitted to pass through the Dardanelles.
The Hritish ambassador then advised the
sultan that Great Hi itam and other signa
tory powers would take united action
in event of any material change io the
?orte’s policy in regard to the Dardanelles.
ho signatory powers were cognisant of
the Moscow iiioidont, but do not consider it
such a broach of the treaty of Paris as to
require a formal protest.
CRIMINAL TO PRECIPITATE A WAR.
Berlin, Bept. 2. The Hamburger
Nachrichten, referring to the Dar
danelles question, says that a war
favoring British interests would fail,
owing to the disapproval of the tier
man people, and adds: “Many European
questions exist, ou account of which it
would be criminal frivolity to precipitate
Germany into a war.”
The i ossbtche Zeitumj merely refers to
the rumor that the British ffeet u about to
watch the Dardanelles, and adds: "The
powers will never assent to Russia’s ig
noring the treaty.”

peror no longer seeks the rear. Uneasiness
pervades Europe. The meeting of Emperor
U illiam and Emperor Francis Joseph thus

animated io his reference to Rev. Ham
Small. It happened that though Mr.
Small himself was not in the capitoi at the
time, Mrs. Small was there in the gallery.
To-day Mr. H irris received a letter from
Mr. Small. This is not a literal copy of it,
but very nearly verbatim etliteratim.
Mr. Harris of Catoosa:
Beak Sib I have been übsent from the city
and the state, and upon rnv return my wife
showed mo tho report of Friday's proceedings,
in which you substantially charge that I was
the leador of the mob In tholr march to the
capitoi. I state most emphatically that this is
absolutely false, and ask of you that you ex
plicitly so state in the same nresenc i where
your former statement wa- made. This is the
only satisfaction I demand, leaving it to your
sense of honor to do mo this justice. Yours
truly, Bam W. Small.

at tho Markham to-night and asked him if
ho had received any reply from Mr. Harris.

letter from him, in which he says that all
he said was to usk tho member from Meri
wether, who made the samo allusion to me
In bis speech, whether it was Ham Small or
Small Sam, and that several members had
answered that it was Small. He said he
had denounced all who took part in the
meeting at the artesian well, and had
called them a gang, tmt had not said that I
led the gang to the capitoi.”
“What action will you tako on the mat
ter'” was asked.
"1 will have a card in to-morrow’s Consti
tution, iu which I will say that he is a oow
ard, and shows it in having neither
courage nor honor to give mo the satisfac
tion I demand. If he made such a state
ment in the heat of pasxion and now boldly
and deliberately refuses to correct the error,
then he it a liar and beneath my notice."
"Will you follow the matter any
further 1”
“No, I have said all 1 have to say. He is
eimpiy a fool and does not know what
honor demanded in this instance.”
