FLORIDA'S BIG,COMBINE.
IT IS TO BE KNOWN AS THB PHOS
PHATE EXCHANGE.
Representatives of Twenty-three Com
panies Sign the Report In Favor of
Organ zatlon-New Smyrna Asks
Recognition as a Port of Entry- The
Cape Canaveral Breakwater Project
Indorsed.
Ocala, Fla., Nov. 20. —The phosphate
convention met promptly at 10 o’clock this
morning and immediately proceeded to
hear Chairman M. T. Simmons read the re
port of the committee on organization.
It was embraced in ten lines, which gave
the name of the combine as the Florida
Phosphate Exchange, to be officered as
similar bodies are, and reoommending that
this exchange should devote itself to con
trol the output and maintain the price of
phosphates. The report was promptly
adopted.
Then signers were called for. Twenty
three persons, representing that many com
panies actively engaged to mining, signed
the document. .
PORTS OF ENTRY.
Before the convention adjourned sine die
Mr. Wheeler of New Smyrna stated the
natural advantages of that harbor for a port
of entry and shipment of phosphates, trust
ing the convention would see its advantage!
and memorialize congress for an appropria
tion. No action was taken 04 this request.
Mr. Harrison of Titusville appeared in
behalf of the people of the Indian river aud
Kissimmee valley to get the convention to
Indorse the action of the state legislature,
which memoralized congress to appropriate
$200,000 to build a breakwater at Capo
Canaveral, where there never was less than
twenty-six to thirty-six feet of water and
no obstruction whatever for ocean steamers
of the largest tonnage to reach and depart
from docks at will.
A RAILROAD’S OFFER.
He said a company was formed to build a
railroad from Cape Canaveral to Kissim
mee, forty-five miles distant. That company
would guarantee a rate of three
quarters of a cent per ton,
g>er mile, over its lino, and as the
jnrt charges would be less the distance to
11 the phosphate fields from Alachua to the
extreme southern end of pebble deposits,
the saving by this line over Tampa, Fer
naudina and Savannah would be $3 toks4
per ton.
Maj. Magruder moved that the conven
tion approve of the request.
Capt. John H. Welsh opposed the resolu
tion, and wished it tabled.
Mr. Bailey of Jefferson, John Bishop of
■Hernando and Joseph A. Harris of Marion
spoke in favor of the project.
Capt. Welsh’s resolution to table was lost,
and Mr. Magruder’s was adopted.
A SECRET MEETING.
The signers of the syndicate document
then held a secret meeting in the Ocala and
Blue Phosphate office, where they appointed
tne following committee to draw up a con-
Btitution, by-laws and formulate details to
govern the Florida Phosphate Exchange:
-J. C. 8. Sutor, of the Hamburg company;
Dr. Metcalf, of the Yellowstone company;
Judge Butts, of the Crown Crescent com
;pany:F. M. Simons, of the Istaohatta; Mr.
Thullies, manager of the French syndicate,
'and Mr. Bond, of the Ohio Phosphate Com
pany. The committee will remain in ses
sion all the week, or until the details are
perfected, which, in printed form, will go
■to every mining company in the state, ask
ing them to eigu, when the officers of the
exchange will be named.
REASON TO BE SATISFIED.
While the leaders of this move are some
what disappointed that more detail work
was not done when they consider the magni
tude of industry, the interests involved and
the aotuai labor necosßary to perfect the
work they will express themselves satisfied.
The most able aud effectual workere of
the convention were Dr. Metcalf, who con
ceived the idea of forming for mutual pro
tection, Judge Butts, Mr. SimmoDs|and Mr.
Sutor. By tneir intelligence, information,
judgment ami energy they left their impress
on the work.
It is thought that at least twenty-five
more will eigu the agreement eventually.
8o far none of the larger and stronger com
panies are in the movement, but when the
plan is ready every mining interest in the
state will be asked to join the syndicate. It
will probably take six months to perfect
the project.
FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS.
The Grand Jury After tße Duelists.
Louise Stephens Sent to JaiL
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 20. The
grand jury, now in session, seems bent on
investigating the dueling affair. Subpoenas
have been issued to a number supposed to
know something of it. Rumor seeins to
know more about it thau those directly
interested. These gentlemen have kept re
ligiously silent. It is regretted by friends
of both parties, that an affair of so serious
a character should disturb the serenity of
Jacksonville’s journalistic atmosphere. The
grand jury would certainly flud it difficult
to establish the fact that a ohallenge was
passed and accepted.
1 LOUISE STEPHENS SENT TO JAIL.
Miss Louise Stephens, who shot at Mr.
Lighbody in the criminal court a day or
two ago, was tried this morning on a charge
of contempt of court and sentenced to sixty
days in the oounty jail. The verdict of the
outside public is that the woman was either
insane or was justified In the assault.
The middle ground between the jetties of
the St. John’s bar has washed awav, leav
ing a clean straight eighteeu-foot obannel.
This is more water than was ever known on
the bar before. The fact that anew chan
nel was formed re-inforced those in favor
of banding the county to deepen the river.
Larger ships cau cross the bar than can
reach the city. The jetties are not yet
completed. The north jetty wifi be ex
tended 1,500 feet, and the south jetty 2,000
feet. Their completion is expected to pro
duoe a depth of over 20 feet. The bonding
question will be decided by vote Deo. 3.

t float Are Groundless.

of the board of directors of the Richmond
aud West Point Terminal Company was in
Atlanta to-day. He has been in Knoxville
attending the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railway, which has been postponed
until Dec. 16. In speaking of the postpone
ment, which has been so much discussed, he
said it had been done in order to have the
meeting of the Terminal come first, and
after this is held the plan is to have the
meetings of the systems which compose the
Terminal held.
TERMINAL IN GOOD SHAPE.
Mr. Swann talked freely about the affairs
of the Terminal, and said it was in better
condition than it had ever bedh, notwith
standing the unfair attacks upon it by un
scrupulous schemers. He said there would
be some changes ou the board of directors
of the Terminal and also changes in the
management of the various roads, but uo
important ones.
Mr. Swann, in speaking of the reported
differences between Gen. Thomas and
President Inman, said there was no truth in
such reports. He said Gen. Thomas would
be elected a director on the Terminal board

not supersede President Inman’s authority

THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
The address of weloomo was delivered by
President Hickman. He said:
We should not tight each other because of
over-production. We will in the near future
have an out et for our goods that will take all
we,oau matte at fair prices. Reciprocity is the
stepping stone to the outlet for all our produc
tion. Rut we want more than reciprocity. Wo
want steamship lines to South America and the
West Indies. We want the American Hag to
cover our products. We want and must have
banking facilities with South America. It is a
shame that this great country should be de
pendent on London for banking facilities with
all the outside world, especially with that por
tion of it which belongs to us by all the laws of
trade,
He thought the association should take
the initiative in reducing the hours of labor
and ameliorating the condition of the opera
tives.

GOOD TIMES AT HAND.
ENOBMOUB EXPORTS BRINGING IN
BARRELS OF BOODLE.
Confidence Gradually Returning to the
Holders of the Money Bags The
Country's Large Industries Well Em
ployed Heavy Receipts of Cotton
Pile Up the Stock on Band.
New York, Nov. 20. —The business
failures occurring throughout the country
last week, as reported to R. G. Dun & Cos.,
number tor the United States 253 and for
Canada 33, a total of 285, against 291 last
week and 286 the week previous. For the
same week last year the number was 274.
Dun’s review says: *
“ Much has happened of late to depress
business aud shake confidence and yet con
fidence is not shaken, and the volume of
business is still close to the greatest ever
attained: The Dank failures at Boston
caused scarcely a ripple of excitement, and
the failure of the speculative banks at
Berlin has been industriously used to depress
stocks the past week, but the average price
cf shares is higher than a week ago.
IN A STRONG POSITION.
“This country-begins to realize that, with
only supplies of grain to keep millions in
Europe from starvation, besides meats,
cotton and oil, wbioh other countries must
have, the United States is in a stronger po
sition than auy other nation, aud need not
quake at every European alarm. Prices
are settling downward, with enormous
production, but the fact that sucn
production continues shows that low prices
are not ruinous. The alarm about the
money market has passed and n o disturb
ance Is apprenendtd this year. The indus
tries are. on the whole, will employed, and
it is especially noteworthy this week that
there is a better tone in the branches of
trade which have been most embarrassed.
REPORTS FROM THE CITIES.
"At Pittsburg the iron market is weaker,
glass works are all in operation, and coal
miners have resumed.
“At Savannah and Charleston trade is
somewhat depressed, apparently by the
very low price of cotton, aud money is
rather tight.
"At Jacksonville business is very brisk,
but at Richmond dry weather prevents the
marketing of tobaoco.
"Manufactures are active. The most
stubborn iron market ever known gives sur
prise to many, for in spite of unprecedented
production, the prospect of some accumula
tion of stocks does not disturb
strong markets, who reckon that
it may be as well for the country
to lay in and hold much larger stocks than
heretofore, so that sudden and violent
fluctuations may not be so readily pro
duced. Large sales of rails at the west are
reported, footing up 175,000 tons in two
weeks, but the markets for other finished
products are not materially altered.
MOVEMENT OF WHEAT,
“The reoeipts of wheat at western centers
continue at the rate of more than 1,000,000
bushels daily, and the exports are also large,
but the price has doclmrd 2% on sales of
28,000.000 bushels.
“Speculation in corn is yielding, the
price being 8 cents lower for spot, while
pork products are substantially unchanged,
and oats one-half cent higher.
"Oil has declined a cent, but sugar is a
shade stronger and coffee has risen three
eighths on account of the Brazilian troubles,
which render commerce with that country
peculiarly uncertain.
COTTON RECEIPTS.
“ The cotton reoeipts oontinue to emceed
last year’s week by week, notwithstanding
ths reported shortness of the crop, and while
the exports for the crop year thus far are
but slightly less than a year ago, ths stocks
at the principal ports are 1,200,000 bales,
against 600,000 last year at the same date.
There was a decline to 8.06 oents, but the
price recovered on Liverpool buvlug to
8.13, the sales here being 800,000 bales for
the week.
THE MONEY MARKETS.
"The money markets of the country are
well supplied for legitimate needs, but some
points report ’speculative money tight.’
Here rates on call have declined from 4 to
3% per ceut., and the treasury has paid out
during the week $3,000,000 more than it has
taken in, while considerable gold is still on
the way from Europe.
"The exports of merchandise from New
York in the three weeks of November has
been $,25,251,719 in value,against $18,548,237
last year, an increase of 3S per cent., while
the imports for November thus far aro
about 18 per cent, smaller than a year ago,
which points to an enormous balance to be
Bettled by other countries in specie. One
danger is that a great quantity of wheat is
now carried abroad, as well as in this coun
try-, on margins and loans, and there Is pos
sibility that a sharp decline might oause
some trouble,”
A DIVIDEND OF 3 PER CENT.
The Northeastern Railroad Makes a
Good Showing.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 20. — At a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Northeastern
railroad held to-day a semi-annual dividend
of 3 per cent, was declared. The re
port shows the following remarkable
iigures:
Gross receipts .8734,642
Operating expenses 436,296
Taxes 24.287
Total expenses 460,593
Balance 274,048
Which with interest, dividend,etc., foots
net earnings aggregating 311,277
The president says that the Wilson “cut
off,” a link between Wilson, N. C., and Pee
dee, on the Wilmington, Columbia and Au
gusta railroad, will be completed during
the year, thus shortening the distance to
New York sixty-flve miles.
The old officers were re-elected.
A SENBATION IN COURT.
Prisoners Declared Held Without
Warrant of Law.
Charleston, 8. C., Nov. 20.—There was
something of a sensation in the session court
to-day. The grand jury iu their present
ments charged specifically that prisoners
were kept in jail without warrant of the
law. Solicitor Jervev to-day asked and got
leave from Judge Witherspoon to put on
record a statomaut showing that there was
absolutely no truth in the charges, and
claiming that ho had proved to the commit
tee of the grand jury tha' the statements of
the prisoners in question wore false long be

whipped and branded with hot iron
in the presence of the prison
officers and that such treatment of prisoners
was of almost daily occurrence. The United
States Attorney General immediately
directed District Attorney Walters of this
city to investigate the cose and report to
him the facts, aud also the manner and
mode of treatment of all federal prisoners
confined in the Arkansas penitentiary.
AN INVESTIGATION.
“In accordance with the above instruc
tions Attorney Walters conducted an in
vestigation in the United States court at
once. • The penitentiary lessees were re
presented by Judge E. W. Kimball and L.
M. Epperson, brother-in-law of Capt.
Miller, the principal lessee. Davis
was examined at great length
touching the serious charges he had pre
ferred. He said he had been whipped aud
branded by two fellow-prisoners in the
presence of the warden.
"The warden stated that he had ordered
Davis whipped, but that he did not know
that be was a federal prisoner.
ALL THE PRISONERS REMOVED.
"District Attorney Walters forwarded the
testimony without recommendation, and
the matter was thought settled until yester
day, when United States Marshal Spellman
received peremptory orders from Attorney
General Miller to remove at once ail
federal prisoners from the Arkansas peni
tentiary and convey them to the prison at
Columbus, (J., because of the developments
made in the recent examination. The or
der created uo little sensation in Little
Rock. This morning the marshal left here
for Columbus with thirty-nine prisoners.”
