MORE interest in his arrival
than in ANY SINCE BLAINE'S.
The Governor Still Full of Snap and
Sparkle— The Grand Armr of the
Republic Men Welcome Him With
Opens Arms—A Long Talk on Poli
tics With Secretary Foster —He
Will Drop In On Blaine To-day.
Washington, Nov. IS.—Gov. Foraker,
looking older and grayer, but still full of
wap and sparkle, arrived this afternoon.
He soems to be as Interesting as ever, for his
arrival excited more interest than any
other since Secretary Blaine’s. At the
Ebbitt, where be stops, the G. A. R.) men,
vbo have had possession all day in connect
lion with the meeting of the National
Council of Administration, welcomed him
with open arm* and the Ohio Foraker con
tingent in the departments hearing of his
arrival hastened to the hotel to get a
picturesque hand ahake from him He
ebook them very quickly aud hastened over
to the treasury department, where he had a
long talk with Secretary Foster, doubt
less It was, as was given out, about the pro
fessional business in connection with the
Pueblo publio building, which he says
brought him.
BAD A POLITICAL OAST.
But it nevertheless bad a strong political
cast.
'lhe interesting political situation in Ohio
over the senatorship, which Foster wants as
muoh as Foraker or Sherman, and the still
more interesting national political situation
over the presidency, in which both Foster
and Foraker are so intensely interested,
were neglected in the conversation. Fora
ker is, of course, trying to show Foster that
his interest lies in helping, or at least
not hindering, Foraker. Foster 19, of
course, for harmony and Foster. 80 far as
could be learned no agreement of material
importance was reached between them.
DIDN’T CALL ON BLAINE.
Foraker for a wonder did not go from
Foster to Blaine. He does not seem to
have thought of going to see Harrison, but
will call on Blaiue, be says, to-morrow, it
is regarded as so strange that bo did not
cull on Blaine this evening that it was sur
mised that he wiu waiting ail the afternoon
and evening for some invitation from
Blaine, who knew he was coming If ao, ho
waited in vain, for Blaine sent him no
message. Nevertheless, Foraker is for
Blaine for President—Blaine and Foraker—
and will go to see him to-morrow, he says,
before returning to Cincinnati.

ho correspondence with the Italian govern

GHERARDINOT CPF FOR CHILE.
No Additional Vessels Ordered to
Chilean Waters.
Washinoton.Nov. 13.—An authoritative
denial Is made at the navy department of
the publUhei statement that Admiral
Uherardi ha* bsan ordered to Chile to re
lieve Admiral Brown of the oo.itmand of
the Pacific station. It la said that Admiral
Überardi Is under orders to cruise in the
West Indiss, where he will he Joined by the
C-onoord; that the Atlanta Is to go to Rio
and that no other orders to vessels have
been issued.
denials from admiral shows.
In view of the repeated statements that
Admiral Brown or someone of his * bin’s
company informed the Balm teed a govern
ment of the landing of the congressional
forces at Quintero last August, Secretary
Tracy, seising the opportunity afforded by
the presence of the admiral with the San
Francisco at Aoapuloo, Mexico, a fe v days
ago, addressed the following telegram to
him:
Navt Department, I
Washington. Not. 10, 1811. f
Admiral Brown, Steamer San t rancteco, Aca
pulco, Mexico:
Did you invite any Chilean officer to accom
pany you on board the San Francisco to witness
the landing of the Chileans* at Quintero? Did
you or any of the officers of your crew on your
return on that occasion to Valparaiso coin mu
nloate Information about what you saw to any
person not connected with your vessel!
Tracy.
THE ADMIRAL’S REPLY.
Admiral Brown’s response was as fol
lows:
Acapulco, Nov. 10,1891.
Secretary of the Xavy, Washington:
Did not Invite or lane any Chileans. Invited
foreign officers only. A German went. No one
from this ship gave infoAnatloa. Full informa
tion about the landing was known at Santiago
and Valparaiso before I sailed at Doon.
Brown.
In addition to the foregoing positive
statements made by Admiral Brown he
distinctly states in his report to the depart
ment dated Aug. 31 that he was informed
before he sailed from Valparaiso that the
congressional forces had effected a landing.
OHIOAGO’3 ANAROHI3 fS.
Police Raid a Meeting in a Saloon and
Are Criticized.
Chicago, Nov. 13.—The police last night
raided a meeting of anarchists in a hall
near the place of the Ilaymarket riots. A
lively scene followed, men drawing re
volvers on the police, but no bloodshed oc
curred. Seveuteon were arrested and others
were turned loose. The men arrested
were arraigned to-day, some for resisting
officers in the discharge of their duty, and
others for oarrying weapons and disorderly
oonduct. The officer* testified that in a
saloon down-stairs was a crowd excitedly
discussing different motions and cursing the
police. Upon the stairs noisy meetings
were in progress.
"What did you arrest them for!” asked
the attorney of one officer,
1 ‘Disorderly oonduct.”
"What were they doing that was dis
orderly ?”
"Cursing and swearing and raising ."
“What aid they sav?’’
“1 heard several say that
ought to bo blown to . We are stronger
than ever before and will do it yet”
The officer could not state whether any of
the men arraigned had made incendiary re
marks or not.
CALLED THE MAYOR A DUDE.
Another officer heard one anarchist say:
"The mayor is a dude, and we will
hang him."
Another officer had an armful of red flags
which he had torn from the platform of tue
hall. Ouo of them had the words “American
Group No. 1” inscribed on it in gilt letters.
" That’s a terrible thing to have on a flag,”
said Cox. “Why did you bring that flag
along?"
“Because it is an emblem of anarchy and
we wanted it for oTidenee.”
This was practically all the eTidence, ex
oept against the men with pistols.
The case went OTer.
There is a great division of public senti
ment here as to whether the police were
justified In suppressing last night’s meet
ing and ordering the American flag
to bo unfurled at a meeting of the previous
night. Tbs mayor says the police hare his
entire approTal, and that anarchist utter
ances are likely to frighten foreigners from
exhibiting at the world’s fair.
VIROINIA’B BAPTISTS.
The Convention Aroused on the Edu
catonal Question.
Norfolk, Va., Nov. 13.— The General
Baptist Association of Virginia to-day
adopted a resolution authorising the educa
tional board to appoint eight delegates to
the next meeting of the American Baptist
Educational Society.
Hon. J. Taylor Elyson read the report of
the educational board. It says
the board has had under its
oare during the past year sixty-flve young
men, eighteen of whom are pursuing
their studies at the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary, and forty-seven at Rich
mond.
Rev. J. M. Frost of Nashville, Tenn.,
corresponding secretary of the Buiiday
school board of the southern Baptist con
vention, said there were 12,000 Baptist
ohurohes in the southern territory without
Sunday schools, but notwithstanding this
fact, which was to be deplored, the south
ern Baptist church had still done a great
work. The southern Baptist convention
desires to place its hand upon its constitu
ency of 1,600,000 of southern Baptists so as
to get them thoroughly alive to the lmport
tance of the Sunday school work.
A CITY COUNCIL GALLED DOWN.
Ita Ordinance Fixing the Price of Gaa
Not Apt to Hold.
Cleveland, 0., Nov. 13.— Some time ago
the city council reduced the price of gas
from II to 60 cent! per thousand. The gas
company fought it in tho courts as virtual
confiscation. To-day Judge Jackson in the
United States circuit court granted the com
pany an injunction, holding that the city
ha t no right to fix the prioe of an article of
which it was a consumer, and that it im
paired the contract under which the com
pany was organized.
Railroad Inspection.
Cincinnati, Nov. 13. —The Commercial-

Ingalls, 11. E. Huntington, Samuel Spencer
and C. D. Dickey, after inspecting the

of the Ohio and Mississippi Val
ley railway from Huntington to
Louisville and Memphis, which road within
a few days will become part of the Chesa
peake and Ohio system. It will say further
more that the deal between the Ohio River
road and Newport News and Mississippi
Valley road is off.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1891.
ENGLISH RIVAL PARTIES.
AN OUTLINE OF THE CONSERVA
TIVE PLATFORM.
It Will Be La'd Before the Farty Cau
cus at Birmingham for Adoption.
The Leading Proposal Concerns Ire
land Extension of the Ballot to
Women Who Are Land Owners.
(Copyright, 1891, by the If. Y. Associated Pres s.)
London, Nov. 13. —The executive com
mittee of the conservative associations has
drafted a platform to be adopted by the
great party caucus which opens in Birming
ham Nov. 23 as the final programme of the
party for the coming elections. A perusal
of advance proofs of the resolutions shows
that the leading proposal concerns Ireland,
and discloses the fact taut the conserva
tive leaders have resisted the appeal of on
influential section of the party
to ignore Irish affairs. The con
ference will be asked to in
dorse the Intention of the ministers to ex
tend local government and promote techni
cal education in Ireland. At the same time
it is declared that the inequalities rising
from aocordiag Ireland disproportionate
representation in parliament ought to be re
dressed. Other important planks provide
for an extension of the franchise to women
who are land owners or house occupauts;
the creation of a labor department under a
member of the cabinet, to be termed a
labor minister; and legislation to enable the
local authorities to acquire land to faciliate
the oreati in of small rural holdings. Asa
further concession to the labor vote the
conference will declare in favor of
the principle of labor repre
sentation, and will urge conservatives to
suipo-ts labor candidates everywhere who
appeal to enter public life upon no party
hues. This plank, contrasting with the
liberal pronouncement against labor canli
dates in purely labor interests. Is deftly con
trived to encourage the split in the radico
workmen’s vote. The next gov
ernment is requested to increase the
number of appoin menls of workmen
as factory inspectors and to appoint women
inspectors.
A PREFERENTIAL TARIFF FAVORED.
A resolution proposed by Ho.vard Vin
cent, M. P., and Mr. Roger, an advocate
of imperial federation, who has just re
turned from America full of wrath against
the McKinley law, favors a preferential
tariff throughout the British empire, the
adoption of which will not commit the
party leaders. Next, the * ‘one man, one
vote” principle in denounced, while it is de
clared that the ballot act must be amended
to exclude illiterate voters.
EFFECT ON THE GLADSTONIANS.
The conservative bribes to the labor vote
will energize tho Gladst niian movement to
establish “a labor candidate fund." Mr.
Hcbadhorst finds that grants of money to
labor aspirants are largely wanted. It is
reported that Andrew Caruagie offers to
place in tho hands of a trustee a large sum
as a nucleus for the propose 1 fund.
Startling evidence has been laid before
the labor committee in regard to the condi
tion of the operatives in the textile trades
in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Of the work
ers’ scant wages, ranging from 16 shillings
weekly upward, a system of relentless fees
absorbs a large percentage. Tho manu
facturers bold the workers responsible for
spoiled material. A single fine some
times absorbs a whole week’s pay,
and any excess of fine over
the wages Is carried forward until the
whole flue is worked off. Many workmen
live in a state of semi-starvation, bound
hand and foot by the accruings of their em
ployers’ illegal fines. The truck abuses,
which were supposed to have been sup
pressed are still In active existence, and the
factory acts are openly defied. Factory
inspectors deposed that spies were sent to
watch for and announce their coming in
order to prevent them from getting com
promising information.
DEFECTIVE GUNS.
The Britiah admirality is much excited
over the growing record of defects in tho
great guns on the English warships. Three
vessels have recently been officially declared
to be carrying unreliable guns. In a 110-
ton gun of the ironclad Benbow, which has
been in commission only a few weeks, a crack
developed in the inner tubes after firing a few
rouuds of 960 pounds each, constituting the
service’s full oharge. Similar aeciuonts
have happened to guns ou the Victoria and
Sauspareii. Generally the heaviest weapons
are becoming distrusted, and the admiralty
has ordered that a number of them be
taken to the ordnance w orks to be strength
ened. Meanwhile the 75-ton guDS of the
French fleet are acting perfectly.
LABOR’3 FLAG OF TRUCE.
The KDlghts Offer to Make Peace With
the Federation.
Toledo, 0., Nov. 13.— The most im
portant action of the Knights of Labor con
vention was taken this morning when, by a
vote of 95 to 5, resolutions wero adopted
looking to a settlement of the differences
between the Knights of Labor and the
the American Federation of Labor. If the
federation accepts them 400,000 working
men will bo practically united.
The resolutions provide that here
after the knights shall recognize and
respect tho working cards of all unions of
the same trade attached to, or affiliated
with, the federation, whenever such unions
respect Knights of Labor working cards.
They also provide for reciprocal recognition
and indorsement of the labels of either
organization and that no suspended or ex
pelled members, or members in arrears, of'
either organization shall be admitted to
membership in the other organization with
out the written consent of the organization
in whioh he is In bad standing. The ar
rangement is to go into effect the first of
the year and is open to all labor organiza
tions in addition to the American federation.
In the case of J. J. Holland of Florida, an
expelled member of the general exeoutive
board, the oxpultion was sustained. It was
charged that he and others boodled the
yellow fever fund sent by the general as
sembly to the Florida knights in 1883. A
proposition to admit lawyers to member
ship was rejected.

CRAWFORD MUaT SIGN.
Florida’s Supreme Court Sustains the
Governor's Position.
Tallahassee, Fla,, Nov, 13.— The su
preme court banded down opinions in the
Crawford mandamus case late this after
noon. The position of the governor is sus
tained and a peremptory writ will issue
unless Secretary Crawford signs and seats
the commission of R. H. M. Davidson to
be United States senator by Monday next,
the court giving him time oving to his
high official office. The judgment of the
court la in the following language: "Upon
the case made by the pleadings, our con
clusion is that the peremptory writ should
be awarded, but, in view of the character
of the parties, we will suspsnd until Mon
day next any formal order in the premises
further than one ad judging the return of
the respondent insufficient aud sustaining
the demurrer thereto."
don't touch the sknatdusiiip.
The opiniou does not touch upon the le
gality or illegrlitv of Mr. Call’* election by
the legislature, declaring the United Sta'es
Senate the sole judge of that matter. The
decision simply overs the duty of the sec
retary of state with relation to signing all
commissions and grants made by the gov
ernor.
The head notes to the decision cover
seven separate points, the most important
of which 13 the sixth, as follows; “Affixing
the seal of state to the ereoutlvo appoint
ment of a United States senator and
countersigning tfaesame do not commit the
secretary of state to ths legality of such an
appointment. It implies no opinion as to
the legality of either such appointment or
of the previous election of another person
to the same place by the legislature."
CONVENTION OF THE W. C. T. U.
Three Hiouannd Delegates Present at
the Meeting at Boston.
Boston. Mass., Nov. 18.—Four thousand
people packed theTremont temple and over
flowed into the Park Street church and the
Bromfleld Street church, near by, this
morning when the monster world’s conven
tion of tho National Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union waß called to order.
Throe thousand delegates from every state
and territory were present. The hall was
elaborately decorated. Miss Willard called
the convention to order and made an im
passioned address.
The treaiurer’s report showed the year's
receipts to be $25,259, and emenditures of
128,217. The membership is 153,401, a gain
of 10,369.
Miss Willard in her address said:
So th-good work goes on. New territory is
Bre ompted, and women’s mighty realm of phi
inthropv encroaches eaoh day upon the empire
of sin, disease un i misery trial. Pas so long
existed, that ail thought it must endure for
ever. But there remains su immense territory
to b ) possessed. The church itself must have a
now crusade. It must become th • people’s
home. Its doors of gospel grace must stand
open night and day. It mini not
he a huge locked up cube of
masonry with a dead AHnospheie
during eix days of the week, for such cannot be
tbe twentieth oentury exponent of tho church
of him who went about doing good. We must
draw people to tho church by having something
there for them v> hicb will 1 ad thorn up through
material to perception an ! love of spiritual bless
ings. That n.'ir.y which unmistakably declares
for prohibition ~f strong drink in the political
platform of 1892 is tbe only one that can hope
for the good will, good word and prayers of tho
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. U'e
nailed that banner to the most-head in 1884, and
gink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, we
will keep it waving,
OTHER SUBJECTS.
Miss Willard than dwelt at length upon
scientific temperance instructions, temper
ance literature, medal contests, the tem
perance press, the labor question, evangel
istic work,work among policemen. Sabbath
observance, social purity, marriage and di
vorce, purity in literature nnil art, the
Woman's Temperance temple and tho
national temperance hospital institutions,
all dear to tho heart of the whito robboner.
Miss Willard was followed by Lady
Henry Simeraet, who mails a brief ad
dress.
The rest of the day was taken up in re
ports and singing.
ILLINOIS’ TRAIN ROBBERS.
Detectives and a Posse Fail to Bun tho
Culprits Down,
Milwaukee, Nov. la—The mo9t expe
rienced deteotives In the employ of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St Paul railway, as
sisted by the sheriff of Racine county and
a large posse of mea, up to a late hoar last
night were unable to track the robbers who
stole about $4,000 from tbe American ex
press car near Western Union Junction.
Several clews were followed up by them,
none resulting in anything, however.
IJFiremari Averill Tucker
are positive that there were only two men
in the job and not six or more as orlginallv
stated. The two combination safes were
found to be intact, and had been left behind
by the robbers. They were evidently
frightened away before they had a chance
to blow the safes open. A quantity of
nitro-glyoerino which they also left
behind, aud which was found near
the spot, would have been
sufficient to open ten more safes equally as
strong. One of them was consigned to
Minneapolis and the other for Milwaukee.
Tbe third, whioh the men compelled Messen
ger Murphy to open for them, contained
money and jewelry aggregating about
$4,000. Claim Agent Barr of tbe St. Paul
road, believes the robbery to have been the
work of Chicago crooks.

MORE BLOOD AT ATLANTA
TWO NEWSPAPER MSN ATTACK A
PROHIBITION LEADER.
The City Editor of the Journal and
One of Bis Reporters the Assailants.
Azmon A. Murphey the Man At
tacked— Reporter Bastings Deals a
Blow With a Policeman's Club.
Atlanta, Ga., Not. 13.— The second
blood was spilled in the anti-barroom fight
to-day. This time it was Azmon A.
Murphey, president of the 1890 Prohibition
Club, and a Joint leader with Rev. Sam
Small, who was assaulted yesterday, in the
present campaign against barrooms. Like
the attack on Mr. Small yesterday by the
Decatur s reet saloonkoeper, the trouble this
afternoon was a direct ouloomo of the
heated condition of publio sentiment on the
liqucr question involved in the municipal
election.
G. N. Hurtell, oity e litor of the Evening
Journal, and Jack Hastings, a reporter on
the same paper, were the men who attacked
President Murphey.
MR. MUKFHKY AN EXTREMIST.
Mr. Murphev is a gentleman of very ex
treme ideas and siuoe his coming to At
lanta from Darnesville some two years ago
has attracted publio attention by his vigor
ous, If not abusive, method of treating
those who opposed him and the 1890
Club, whidh ho formed on the pro
hibition uuestion. He has been
regarded ns an extremist on lhe subject,
and it has been expected more than once that
his denunciation and salty references to
others would result in just what oc
curred to-day. Mr. Murphey brought with
biin from his Harueavlile home a reputation
as a man who would fight, and being a per
fect athlete in appearance, this has proba
bly had something to do with the delay of
what everybody thought would happen
sooner or later unless there was a change in
the prohibition leader’s way of putting
things.
CAUSE OF THE ATTACK.
A day or two ago the Journal published
a campaign story to the effect that Presi
dent Murphoy and Rev. Sam were prepar
ing to capture the ward meetings which
were held last night, elect their own dele
gates, aud control the nominating conven
tion, which met to-night. This morning
President Murphey published a oard de
nouncing the article as an infamous lie, and
stating that he wrote the writer he was
telling a lie. Messrs. Hurtell aud Hastings
demanded a retraction from Mr. Murphey,
and he refused to make It.
THE ASSAULT.
About 4 o’clock this afternoon they en
countered hi n on him Alabama street. Mr.

tails of the plot. while secretly pursuing
tbeir investigations in St. Petersburg they
found that the conspirators in that city
were only part of a very numerous band,
the headquarters of which was in Moscow.
They learned also that the conspirators had
been very active in securing adherents to
their plan, and that the conspiracy had
ramifications whioh spread to all
the principal cities of the em
pire. Tho object of the oonspiraoy
just unearthed, unlike the majority of the
plots disoovorod iu Russia, was not to k.ll
tho czar, but was the organisation of a
movement having for Its end the creation
of a representative assembly, an object
which nos been tho darom of many Rus
sians for years. Sixty member* of tbe
nobility and of the upper aud middle classes
who are oharged with complicity in the oou

On by tbe Adventist Association.

the Seventh Day Adventist who acquired
fame through being arrested over a year
ago for plowing on Sunday, died near
Dyersburg Tuesday night. King was ar
rested and finod for tbe offense named, and
tbe at first trivial case has been in the state
and federal courts ever since. The original
sentence was affirmed by the state
supreme oourt. Then the defense was
undertaken by tbo National Secular Associ
ation, which employed Don M. Dickinsou
and carried the case to the United States
circuit court on a writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Hammond ruled that the’ federal
government had no right to review tha
state’s docislons and the cose was thereupon
appealed to the supreme court of tho United
States. It Is not unlikely that the adventists
will still push the case to a conclusion in
spite of King’s death.
