BAD FDR PALMETTO JAG.
m Commissioner of Patents Denies
the Application.
Governor Tillman Sought to Patent
the Use of the Palmetto as a Trade
Mark for the State Whisky—He
Claimed, too, that South Carolina
Meant to Become a General Liquor
Dealer at Home and Abroad—The
i Commissioner Sharply Alludes to
this, and Declares That the State haß
no Bight to Use the Device which
now Appears on Its Whisky Bot
tles and Other Vessels.
Washington, 1). C., Aug. 30.—Attorney
General Olney has appointed Frank S.
White, of Birmingham, Ala., assistant
district attorney for the Northern dis
trict of Alabama, and W. H. Roberson, of
Tennessee, assistant attorney in the de
partment of justice iu defense of Indiun
depredations claims.
THE DISPENSARY TRADE MARK.
The commissioner of patents rendered a
decision to-day in the matter of the ap
peal to him of the state of South Caro
lina from the refusal of the
examiner to register a trade mark
applied for in the name of
the state, consisting of the
word' Palmetto,” to be printed on its
liquor labels, together with the arms of
the state and the name of the liquor. It
was stated to be the intention of the
state officers of South Carolina to enter
the markets outside of the state, and out
side of the union, as a vender of liquors
for profit, and the authorities had sold a
case of its liquors bearing the trade murk
in Canada. It was claimed by the appli
cant that the state possessed the full
rights of a trading corporation, and that it
might undertake a business of this char
acter to be conducted outside, as well as
within the state limits, and that author
ity for this was found in the provisions of
its recent liquor legislation. The exami
ner held otherwise, and therefore refused
registration.
TKADK OUTSIDE THE STATE.
The commissioner, after reviewing the
monopolies enjoined by France and Bel
gium, holds that a state of the American
union, having all the powers of an inde
pendent, sovereign state, except those sur
rendered to the federal government, has
the inherent right, as a state, to engage
in trade, domestic or foreign; but the
commissioner also holds that a lawful
trade in liquors outside the state must be
established iu some effectual manner be
fore the state cun become the owner of a
trade mark which would be entitled to
registration in its name in the patent
office under the law of 1881.
“THE LEVEL OF A TRADING CORPORATION.”
He construes the South Carolina liquor
act as a measure for the suppression of
the liquor traffic in South Carolina by
private individuals, and to substitute
therefor its complete control by the state
through local public dispensers, and
holds that only by a strained construc
tion could any phases in the act he held
to look to the establishment of an outside
traffic of any kind, excepting in the pur
chase of the liquors to be dispensed;
that there was nothing in the general or
special objects of the statute to show that
the state intended to descend to the level
of a trading corporation outside its own
limits. The commissioner closes this de
cision by saying:
THE APPLICATION DENIED.
“It is considered that the stateof South
Carolina, notwithstanding the facts of its
governor and state board of control, has
no authorized trade in liquors outside
its own limits; is not the owner of any
trade mark; has not at this time the
right to tne use of the trade mark sought
to be registered; and, therefore, the ap
plication is denied.
IN THESENATE.
Mr. Sherman Speaks for the Repeal of
the Purchasing Clause.
Washington, Aug. 30.—A great number
of petitions and memorials were presented
on all sides and on all phases of the silver
question.
Mr. Call presented joint resolutions of
the legislature of Florida asking an in
vestigation, by order of congress, of the
administration of the United States cir
cuit and district judge of the northern
district of Florida, by Charles
Swanne, as United States district judge.
11 was referred to the judiciary committee.
Mr. Vance, a member of the finance com
mittee, gave notice that he would ad
dress the Senate next Friday on the re
peal bill. Mr. Pugh offered absolution,
which was referred to the committee on
privileges and elections, to pay $5,000 to
Lee Mantle in full compensation for his
time and expenses in prosecuting his
claim to a seat in the Senate from the
state of Montana. Mr. Stewart offered a
resolution, which was on his own motion
referred to the finance committee, direct
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to in
form the Senate how the revenues since
the commencement of the present fiscal
year compare with the estimate.
THE REPEAL BILL DEBATE.
At 12:35 o’clock p. m. the bill to repeal
the Sherman act was laid before the Sen
ate, and Mr. Sherman addressed the
Senate.
Mr. Sherman had the close attention of
the Senate and of a large audience in the
galleries for over two hours, and he set
fortli in terse and vigorous language—
very rapidly delivered—reasons why he
supported the bill to repeal the purchasing
clause of the act of July, 1890, and why it
should be passed with has little delay as
possible. Incidentally, he recommended
giving authority to the President or the
Secretary of Treasury to issue bonds,
bearing not over 4 per cent, interest, in
order to procure gold with which to
maintain a sufficient reserve; and he
commented on the fact that, while he
had proposed such a measure at the last
session, the opposition to it came from
the democratic senators, although it was
to their own administration that the
power was to be confided. He also alluded
to the remarkable attitude of democratic
senators in opposing the repeal act of
July. 1890, although they had voted
against it. and still denounced it, W hilst
Hie republicans, by whose votes exclu
sively that law was passed, were now
anxious to vote for its repeal.

M ashington, Aug. 30.—The. session to
na.v was devoid of interest., \
Mr. Talbott asked unanimoas consent
Produce a bill repealing the statutes

debate on the house rules.
The House then resumed the considera
tion of the new code of rules, with the
understanding that the general debate
should close at 2 o'clock. This under
standing was disregarded, and time ex
tended so as to include the entire day's
session.
The proposed code of rules was debated,
both under the hour rule and the five
minute rule, but the passage at arms yes
terday between Speaker Crisp and ex-
Speaker Reed seemed to be regarded not
only as the opening of a fight, but as the
culmination of it, and little attention was
paid to the speeches made to-day.
Without disposing of the rules, the
House, at 5:05 o'clock, adjourned.
SHOT AND KILLED.
Seventy Dead Bodies Recovered From
the Coosaw River.
Augusta, Ga,, Aug. 30.—A heavy rain
is falling in this section to-night, and sev
eral washouts make railroad connections
faulty, as well as telegraph lines. The
Port Royal road is not yet operating its
line below Yemassee, and the South Car
olina road is delayed by washouts. The
country around Augusta, like the city,
escaped with nothing more than the blow
ing down of trees here and there, and the
damage to fences and old outhouses.
There was no loss of life anywhere in
this section, and no damage to property
worth reporting.
The principal damage will be to crops,
as the corn and cotton were prostrated on
the ground by the wind, and the subse
quent rains are likely to rot it and cause
considerable loss to the farmers.
SHOT FOUR TIMES AND KILLED.
A negro. Mathis Turner, was shot four
times and killed to-day in this city by
W. B. Morris, a popular employe in the
cashier’s office of the Georgia Railroad.
Turner lived on an adjoining lot to Mr.
Morris, and has sevei'al times in the past
few days, when Mr. Morris was away
from the house, gotten iu plain view of
the ladies in his house and made indecent
exposures of his person, purposely attract
ing the attention of Mrs. Morris
as she sat at her window and making in
sulting demonstrations toward her. To
day the offense was repeated, and when
Mr. Morrijwent home to dinner his wife
told him about it. He was so outraged
that he took a pistol and went over to
where the negro was and emptied its con
tents into his body. He then gave him
self up, and gave bond. Since then the
negro has died.
accidentally shot.
Bob Lucas, another negro, was shot to
day near the city. Til is was accidental,
and was by his companion, Bud Jones.
They were hunting. Lucas's wounds are
not serious.
Oscar Langford and Roney Williams
had a personal difficulty to-day over some
trivial disagreement, and Williams was
knocked in the head with a brick by
Langford and left insensible. His injuries
are painful, but probably not serious.
SEVENTY BODIES RECOVERED.
Passengers from Port Royal to-night
report that seventy bodies have been re
covered from the Coosaw river. No news
yet from St. Helena Island, where the
greatest fatalities were expected.
LOOKED LIKE A RIOT.
Crowds of Unemployed Men Gather in
the Streets.
Chicago, Aug. 30.—The crowd of unem
ployed men and idle spectators which
gathered at the lake front this 'morning
was much larger than usual. Shortly af
ter 10 o’clock indications of a riot began
to manifest themselves, but no definite
move towards a concerted demonstration
was made.
The chief of police was notified of the
condition of affairs, and detachments of
the police, numbering altogether 500 men,
were ordered tc the lake front. In the
meantime 500 Italians and others
marched up State street to Louis
Stizzarris’ provision store, where they
demanded two flags, the property of the
Italian C. B. Sharp Shooter’s society.
Stizzaries refused to give up the flags, but
gave the leaders $2, with which they
bought an Italian and American flag
and returned to the lake front. By this
time the police reinforcements began to
arrive, and they were just in time,
for the mob had become excited and
very disorderly. Rioters who were on
the eastern outskirts of the crowd picked
up stones and coupling pins from the Illi
nois Central tracks and threw the heavy
missiles at the police. The latter, led by
Inspectors Shea andLoughlin, charged on
the crowd and, after a brief struggle,
the rioters fled, pursued by the police.
HOME RULE.
Final Division Will be Reached Next
Friday Night.
London, Aug. 80.—The last stage of the
home rule bill debate in the House of
Commons began to-day. As usual on
Wednesday, the House mot at noon. The
exceptionally large attendance showed
that the majority of the members who
went to the country for their holidays
recently had returned to hear the final
speeches of the party leaders and to take
part in the final division of next Friday
night. On Irish benches hardly a seat
was vacant.
LIBERALS AND RADICALS IN FORCE.
Liberals and radicals were
present, almost to a man.
All party leaders were cheered as
they entered, but no great enthusiasm
was shown until Mr. Gladstone and John
Morle.y came in together. Then the Irish
members rose, cheering; the liberals and
radicals joined them, and for nearly two
minutes the House rang with shouts for
the two men who had done most to render
possible the advancement of the home
rule bill to a third reading.
Before Gladstone rose to move the
third reading a few amendments were
added to the bill at the instance of John
Morle.v, chief secretary for Ireland.
After these had been disposed of without
debate Mr. Gladstone rose amid a storm
of cheers.
IN A RECEIVER’S HANDS.
The Nicaragua Canal and Contraction
Company no More.
New York Aug. 30.—1n the United States
circuit court yesterday Judge Benedict
appointed Thomas. B. Atkins, of New
York receiver for the Nicaragua Canal
aud Construction Company on the applica
tion of Ijouis Herbert, one of the
stockholders. The application for a
receiver is acquiesced in by Warner Mil
ler, president, who says that the com
pany no longer means t,o meet its obliga
tions. The officers of the company are at
44 and 46 Wall street, this city. Its
principal officers are at Denver, Col.
The company was incorporated under the
laws of Colorado.

THE MORNING NEWS: TREES DAY, AUGUST 31, 1803.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Expectations of the Contending Forces
in the Senate.
Washington, Aug. 80.—Col. I jester in
troduced a bill to repeal sections 8412
aud 3413 of the revised statutes and all
other laws which impose a tax of ten
per cent, or any other sum on the circula
tion of notes or other things of currency
issued by other than national banks.
Col. Livingston introduced a bill to
establish a sub-treasury in Atlanta. It
provides for the appointment of an as
sistant treasurer at a salary of $4,500, a
cashier at $2,000, one clerk at SI,BOO, one
clerk at SI,OOO. a messenger at $720, two
watchmen at $720 each; also appropriates
$5,000 to fit up offices, vaults, etc., in the
government building for its sub-treasury.
F. McCrea cf Arkansas introduced
a bill for the free coinage of
silver. There appears to be con
siderable opposition to the Johnson
bill providing for intereonvertile bonds or
bonds on which the government will issue
currency up to the par value of their
bonds.
MR. CARLISLE’S VIEWS.
Secretary Carlisle is quoted by a mem
ber of the banking and currency commit
tee as saying he does not believe it wise
to pass that or any other measure at this
time which will increase the volume of
notes that must be paid in gold. He
thinks matters will adjust themselves
speedily after the repeal of the Sherman
law, anil urges that no other legislation
be enacted except that permitting hanks
to issue currency up to the par value of
their bonds until sometime after the re
peal of the Sherman law.
The silver men in the Senate
have marshalled their forces,
and this morning showed more confidence
than for some time. They say no vote
can be had on repeal before the first of
January. They count forty men who will
stand shoulder to shoulder for a pro
longed fight, and thirty-six who will not
yield until tho demand comes from the
people whom they represent.
The repeal men, however, say they
have practically won the fight. Mr. Voor
hees thinks the Senate will vote on re
peal in ten days or two weeks. He does
not expect prolonged filibustering. It is
worthy of note that last Monday, in the
House, 1(53 democrats voted forfree coinage
on one or the other of the projtositions,
lacking only sixteen of being a majority
of the House, if all had voted together
on the same proposition.
E. P. Howell, of the Atlanta Constitu
tution, is here.
Reports about the President’s health
cause great uneasiness here, notwith
standing the repeated statements that he
is nearly or quite well.
MILLEDGEVILLE.
Bees That are Building Winter Homes
on the Highway.
Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 30.—The most
remarkable swarm of bees that have been
seen in this section are found at a promi
nent part of Wayne street. Their hives
consist of numerous holes in the ground,
like ant holes, and the entire swarm are
busily engaged in storing away a winter's
supply of honey. They have been
watched for several years and, during
the summer, always work among the
flowers; they spend" the winter in the
ground. The heavy rains of Sunday and
Sunday night entirely covered up their
homes and through Monday not a bee
eould be seen abput the place. On Tues
day they worked their way out aud since
then have been busier than ever prepar
ing for future “hard times.”
Miss Florence Williams, of Valdosta,
formerly of Savannah, and a young
woman of fine journalistic ability, has
bought an interest in the Chronicle of this
city, and, with Miss Ellen Dortch, will
run the paper. Both are graceful writ
ers.
The fearful winds of Sunday night have
done great damage to crops through this
section, which, otherwise, are in a flue
condition.
The female base ba 11 club struck the
town yesterday and played a game with a
local team. A good crowd of masculine
“fans” were out to see them, but the en
tertainment as a w'hole was a fearfuljy
tame affair.
Considerable preparation is being made
here for the opening of the Middle Geor
gia Military and Agricultural College next
Monday. The indications afie that the
attendance will be larger than has been
known in years, and that the schools
power as an educational institution will
take on new life with the coming
term.
THE PRESIDENT EN ROUTE.
He Will Arrive in New York at an
Early Hour This Morning.
Buzzard’s ‘Bay, Aug. 30.—President
Cleveland left Gray Gables on Mr. E. C.
Benedict’s yacht Oneida at 1:30 this af
ternoon. Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth
and nurse accompanied him. The
weather is perfect. They will proceed
directly to New York. The Oneida will
arrive in New Yors early to-morrow
morning. The President will at once pro
ceed to Washington The retinue of ser
vants will depart from here to-morrow
morning.
HE IS IN PERFECT HEALTH.
The report that the President is sick is
taken simply as ridiculous here. The
rumor is absolutely false, and Mr. Cleve
land is to all appearances in the best of
health. Mr. Cleveland himself says he is
feeling splendidly, is in good health and
very much rested. The fact that the
President either has been fishing or has
driven to the village every day since his
arrival at Gray Gables shows pretty con
clusively what his condition is.

A GREAT JINLAND ROUTE.
A System of Coast Canals From Cape
Cod to the Galt.
Senator Chandler’s Resolution Con
cerning Their Construction and Capt.
Carter’s Report and Recommenda
tion—Tho Advantages of the Work
to Commerce and in Time of War as
a Defense—The Proposed Route.
For more than a century it has been a
grave question with the persons engaged
in commercial enterprises as to whether
some moans could not be devised to over
come the dangers to commerce encoun
tered by ships voyaging along tho Atlan
tic coast, and particularly the coast of
the southern states below Virginia. In
calc liable wealth, many vessels and hun
dreds of lives have been lust off stormy
Hatteras and other treacherous limits
along this part of the cost. Thoughtful
attention has been given to the subject of
constructing some artificial aids to navi
gation along this coast in connection with
the further project of an internal system
of coast canals which would permit of the
passage of light-draught guu-boats,
and torpedo boats, secure from hostilo
cruisers.
SENATOR CHANDLER'S PLAN.
A few days ago Sonator Chandler, of
Now Hampshire, offered in the Senate a
resolution, which was sent to the com
mittee on commerce, instructing that com
mittee to inquire into the expediency of
constructing in the near future, by tho
aid of tho government, of an interior
coast line of water works across the head
of the peninsula of Florida, along the
coast from Florida to Hampton Roads,
between Chespeake bay aud Delaware bay
and by Cape Cod for the purpose of
securing commercial and military advan
tange. It happens, fortunately for Mr.
Chandler’s scheme, that from Chespeake
bay to Florida there already exists a vast
system of sal i-water sounds, which can at
a comparatively small cost, be connect
ed by several short canals and thereby
afford the desired navigation in short or
der.
CAPT. CARTER'S REPORT.
In connection with this subject, and re
ferring particularly to that part of the
routo between Fernandina and Savannah,
Capt. O. M. Carter, corps of engineers, on
November 25, 1891, reported as follows:
"The importance of tho route for mili
tary and naval purposes has already been
mentioned in former reports. Tho im
proved channel will be available for gun
boats and transports drawing from twelve
to fourteen feet of water, and it would
particularly favor tho operations of our
torpedo boats against hostile vessels.
Exits to the sea are afforded at intervals
of.fromfiveto fifteen miles through the
numerous sounds that indent the coast,
from which these boats could dash forth,
strike a sudden blow, and returning, find
close at hand a safe harbor secure from
attack and storms.
AN IMPORTANT WORK.
“If the recent recommendations of tho
general commanding the department of
the east, in regard to the defense of the
South Atlantic ports by means of a
strongly fortified central station, includ
ing Port Royal harbor and Tybee roads,
be carried into effect, then the impor
tance of the inside route as an adjunct to
such defense can scarcely be overesti
mated, and whatever may be the plan of
defense adopted for theso ports, the in
side route will be a potent factor in its
efficiency.
“An effective blockade of the southern
ports by a foreign fleet would be practi
cally impossible, because light-draft ves
sels could enter or leave at any of the
sounds along nearly 200 miles of the coast
and reach the desired seaport by the in
side route.”
AN APPRPORIATION RECOMMENDED.
To carry out his project, Capt. Carter re
commended that an appropriation of $105,-
009 be made, stating that "irregular aud
inadequate appropriations will greatly in
crease the cost of the work anil delay its
completion.”
Congress, pursuing its usual policy in
regard to needed and beneficial public
works, appropriated but $15,000 for two
years, or $7,500 per year. It may be that
at the next regular session it will be as
liberal, with the result that many years
will elapse before this part of the route is
put in the condition recommended by
Capt. Carter.
THE PROPOSED ROUTE.
Tho route Senator Chandler had in
view when he offered his resolution in the
Senate, begins in Massachusetts Bay to
the north of Cape Cod, thence passes over
land either into Narragansett Roads or
Buzzard's Bay, where President Cleve
land does most of his fishing and receives
a daily object lesson as to the value of
this route to commerce. Leaving Buz
zard's Bay it follows lying Island Sound,
reaching Now York harbor by way of
East river and Hell Gate, and then pass
ing the Battery crosses North river to
Raritan river and New Brunswick, New
Jersey. It then follows the Delaware
and Raritan canal to the Delaware river
at Bordentown; down this river to Dela
ware City, and thence by the Delawure
and Chespeake canal to the Chespeake
bay: down the Chespeake, up Hampton
Rouds and the Elizabeth river; thence by
the Dismal Swamp canal and the Albe
marle aud Chespeake canal to Albemarle
souJ|d.
TO AVOID HATTERAS.
Thence it will go through the swamps
and landlocked sounds and lagoons’ of
the Carolinas, avoiding Cape Hatteras, to
the Savannah river, and from there to
Fernandina via the inside route recom
mended by Capt. Carter. From Fernan
dina to the St. Johns l iver and to the
Gulf of Mexico by the projected canal
across the peninsula of Florida.
This route forms what may be called an
inner or second coast line. Its military
value has been urged by our most distin
guished engineers for many years, and
two advantages are obvious: It would
enable the government to transfer its
ships of war, by a safe and speedy route,
in the presence of a superior naval force,
from one jtoint on the coast to any other;
and would preserve the vast coasting
trade in unimpaired activity throughout
the war.
Some years ago tho Spanish govern
ment had built in New York a number of
powerful iron gunboats, each carrying
one heavy rille, for use in Cuba. Theso
were sent by the intra-coast route from
New York, making the greater part of
the voyage within our own borders, thus
showing that this route is available for a
mo3t serviceable class of vessels.
A OKEAT DEFENSE.
In the event of war with a powerful
maritime nation a few days only would
be needed to blockade most of the At
lantic ports. The United States'present
improved naval force would, of course, be
of some avail, but this route would afford
the means of withdrawing vessels from
harbors where fortifications and torpe
does could block the enemy and unite
them for action elsewhere. Even now it
would enable light and fleet cruisers to
slip past an enemy to prey upon his com
merce, while fleets of torpedo boats can
be passed with the greatest rapidity.
The enterprise of individuals has pro
vided this country with an almost com
plete water line along the Atlantic coast,
and (he* remainder of the route, for which
nature has done a groat share, should do
tt(C rest.

York. The officers report that the trip
was tho roughest they ever experienced.
During the storm Sunday night
the seas went over the turret
of the monitor, and with groat diffi

for thirty-six hours without censing.

RICH BY A LAND DECISION.
An Indian Missionary’s Tit!e to Realt y
Worth a Millioa Confirmed.
Duluth, Aug. 28.—A decision rendered
by Commissioner Lamoreaux, of the gen
eral land office, decided the title to tho
famous “Hyde-40.’ on the Vermilion range,
has been received here. The land in
volved is the most valuable portion of
“section 30,” the ownership of which has
been in litigation for years. The “Hyde
40” was involved in what Is known as the
Warronscrip case. In 1875 J. H. Warren,
who is a mixed blood Cltipjtewa, located
on the land in question. Through his at
torney in 1880 K. Hartman began contest
on tho ground that Warren had
sold his scrip before it was located
and on the' further ground that War
ren having left his tribe was not a legal
beneficiary under the terms of the treaty
under winch the Indian scrip was issned.
After several hearings this contest came
to Secretary Noble, and in 1892 he ordered
a hearing of Hartman's claims. It is
these points that the commissioner has
just ruled upon, and both of them are de
cided favorable to Warren. The fact
that Warren was living in California
when the scrip was issued does not. says
the commissioner, prove he had, severed
tribal relations or that he was not a legal
beneficiary. Warren is an Indian mis
sionary. The value of the land in ques
tion is variously estimated, but it is prob
ably in the neighborhood of $1,000,000.

The Coming of Miners to New Orleans
Not Regarded With Satisfaction.
New Orleans. La., Aug. 26.—The arrival
hore of a number of the Colorado miners,
who left that state because of the closing
of the silver mines, and the announce
ment that a great many more were coin
ing in this direction to quarter for the
winter, created some uneasy feeling in
labor circles. It was the general view of
tho presidents of the labor organizations
that it would bo most unwise for these
people to come hero, as New Orleans has
a number of its own unemployed to look
after, and it would scarcely be possible
for miners to do plantation work in com
petition with negroes. The general opin
ion was that if t hey had iome here in any
large numbers the labor unions would pay
to get them out of the city, Mr. Breen,
president of the Screwmon’s Association,
saying that body was willing to give
$51,000.
RESENTED INTRUSION.
An Alligator Kills a Fisherman Who
Disturbs His Meal.
New Orleans. Aug. 28.—News reaches
the city that John Parker, of Franklin
parish, went out in a dugout to attend his
trot lines set in the Tensas river. To one
of tho lines was attached a big catfish,
which at the time was being greedily de
voured by an immense alligator. The
saurian objected to being disturbed in his
meal and lashed the water furiously with
his tail, upsetting the boat and throwing
Parker into the river. The monster at
tacked Parker in the water and the latter
disappeared. When the man's body was
found next any it was discovered that he
had been bitten through both temples
and otherwise bruised and lacerated.
Parker’s wife and son were witnesses of
his tragic fate, but were powerless to ren
der him any assistance.
