Congressman “Joe" Cannon, who re
cently got back into the House, is one of
the lean liine. Nobody has ever seen him
in “killing order,” as they say In his dis
trict. Yet he fumed and fretted so much
over the fate of silver during the past
two weeks that the warm weather ef
fected him more than it did either the
enormous Cogswell or the ponderous
Reed.
They say that at the moment of the
final vote on the silver question in the
House the temperature on the floor was
ten degrees higher than in the galleries.
Down stairs the mercury marked IK) de
grees, while up stairs it marked 80. This
was in the House, please remember; the
Senate never gets so warmed up to its
work; anything like 90 degrees of heat
the Senate would regard as undignified.
Congressman Bland, the firmest friend
that silver ever had. has given up the
fight. He worked hard to save his hob
by, but failed. Talking to a correspond
ent about the Wilson repeal bill just
after its passage in the House. Mr. Bland
said; “I believe the bill will pass the
Senate without much delay; indeed, 1
would not be astonished to see it slip
through without friction almost any day.
The same pressure is being brought to
bear upon the Senate that has proved so
effective in the House, and the result is
likely to be the same.”
A scandal involving awards at the
world’s fair has made its appearance in
the newspapers. It appears that a wo
man named Hannon offered to procure
for a Russian exhibitor at the fair a
medal of the first class and a certificate
of merit, the consideration to be £IO.OOO.
The woman referred to State Commis
sioner Beeson, of Oklahoma, as jto her
ability to fulfill her proaii.se. and it is
said that he indorsed her, saying that
whatever she said was right. The wo
man has been arrested, and the proba
bilities are that a rich scandal will grow
out of the matter.
The president of a national bank at
Tacoma, Wash., which went into liquida
tion during the latter part of July, has
an idea that it is none of Controller Eck
els’ business how the affairs of tho bank
are settled. The controller sent an exam
iner to take charge of the bank and look
into its affairs. The president refused to
let him into the building. The exam
iner sought the assistance of a United
States marshal to oust the banker forci
bly. but before the marshal could act the
banker had applied to the federal dis
trict court for an injunction, and obtained
an order requiring the controller to show
cause on next Monday why a temporary
restraining order shoald not issue. The
fight is something of a novelty.
Among those killed in the disaster on
the Long Island <N. Y.) railroad last
Saturday, mention of which was made in
the Mokning News, was Col. K. A. Buck,
editor of the Spirit of the Times, of New
York city. Col. Buck was an old time
steamboat man. having been in charge of
Dean Richmond's transportation com
pany at Green Bay. Wis., which operated
a line of propellers in connection with the
New York Central railroad. Later he
removed to New York and became en
gaged in racing, owning several
record horses. He was also interested in
theatrical matters, and had among his
intimate friends such men as Irving,
McCullough, Sotliera and Florence. He
had been owner and editor of the Spirit
of the Times since 1375.
Harold McCormick, a son of the
Ohio millionaire reaper manufacturer and
a brother of Mrs. IValker Blaine, was ar
rested at Cleveland a few days
ago upon a charge of forging and
ail around crookedness. It was
a case of mistaken identity, however,
with rather peculiar details. It seems
that a young man who looked like .Mc-
Cormick. talked like him and was fami
liar with the McCormick affairs had as
sumed young McCormick's name, regis
tered at various hotels under it and cut
a wide swath on money obtained on
checks purporting to have been signed b.v
well-known men. The young millionaires
succeeded in establishing his identity
and securing his release. The crook,
however, is still at largo.
A Good Point by Senator Gordon.
Senator Gordon, in his speech in the
S< nato on Tuesday, in favor of regaling
promptly and un"onditionally the Slier
man silver law, made a strong (mint
against the silverites. It is a point to
which tile Mokning News has more than
once called attention during th iast two
i weeks. It is that if the silverites are
strong enough to attach a condition, pro
viding for the free coinage of silver, to
; the hill to repeal the Sherman silver law,
: they are strong enough to pass an iude
; jiendent free silver coinage bill. He
argued therefore that it would not injure
j the chances for free silver coinage to pass
j without further delay, the bill to repeal
{ the Sherman silver law.
The reasons he gave for the immediate
1 passage of the re|ioal bill are strong ones
reasons that cannot be answered and
which should be regarded even by tho
extreme silverites as satisfactory. This
country is in the midst of a financial
panic. It is with the utmost difficulty
that money can bo obtained for the
transaction of any kind of business. The
scarcity of money has forced many facto
ries to close their doors and has caused
banks and business firms to fail. Great
as the financial distress has been and is,
it will be still greater unless congress
provides the relief so earnestly demanded.
The scarcity of money has had a most de
pressing effect upon the prices of agricul
tural and other products. Both wheat
and cotton are selling below the cost of
production. Consequently every day that
relief legislation is delayed the farmers
lose tens of thousands of dollars. And
farmers are not the only ones who are
losers. Merchants, bankers, manufactur
ers and all other business men arc heavy
losers. Even working men and women
are suffering from the panic because a
large percentage of them have been
thrown out of employment and see star
vation staring them in the face. And
yet the silver senators, without reasons
to support them, threaten to prolong the
panic, and even make it worse than it is,
because they hope they can compel the
congress to give the country a debased
currency.
Senator Gordon has been classed as a
silverite, and he is in favor of bimetal
ism, but he is not one of the rule-or
ruin silverites. He sees that the coun
try is in need of instant financial relief,
and he is willing to vote for such relief
at once. He understands that free sil
ver coinage cannot be reached without
a long discussion, if at all,
and a discussion means delay,
and delay means heavy- losses to
a large portion of the people and absolute
ruin to another portion. And he is far
sighted enough to see that delay would
not benefit the cause of bimetallism.
The struggle over the silver question
mokes it clear that there are a good many
men in the Senate who should not be
there. They may be sincere in the course
they are pursuing, but of what good to the
country is their sincerity if they are so
selfish and wrong-headed as to deliber
ately bring ruin upon the country? Would
not the country be better off without
their services? Asa matterof fact, sena
tors are too far removed from the
l>eople to respond promptly to tho
people’s will. Elected for six years by
the legislatures of their respective states,
too many of them think they can with
safety ignore the people and do as they
please. They may find out their mistake.
The people are, it is true, quick to forget,
but they will not forget the senators who
are causing them anxiety and loss. When
those senators seek a re-election the
lioople will remember how indifferent
the- - were to the interests of their con
stituents, and will see to it that they are
not again given -offices of power and in
fluence.
Sources of Danger.
The Mokning News yesterday called
attention to the necessity for draining
the water from the low places in the city
limits and also outside of the limits in the
immediate vicinity of the city. Atten
tion was also called to the large number
of dead animals on Hutchinson's Island
that are rapidly becoming offensive from
the effect of the hot rays of the sun.
We are glad that the mayor and the
county authorities are alive to the impor
tance of removing these sources of dan
ger as quickly as possible. The mayor
will at once put a force at work on the
drainage of the city, and the county au
thorities will see to it that the water is
drained from the low places that are
close to the city. It is also understood
that the mayor yesterday ordered that
the dead animals on Hutchinson's Island
bo buried without unnecessary delay.
The promptness shown in attending to
these matters is commendable.
-The importance in guarding the health
of the city cannot he overestimated. The
city has been remarkably healthy all
summer, and nothing should be left un
done to keep it so. There is no reason to
apprehend any unusual sickness, but that
fact should not operate to prevent the tak
ing of all ixissible precaution for the pres
ervation of the public health.
A .great many animals of one kind
and another have been drowned all along
the upper river, and their bodies will
come floating down for a week or two.
Care should be taken that none of them
find a lodgment along the river frontof the
city, or at points above or below the city,
where they would be not only offensive to
people in the vicinity of them, but also
the cause of sickness. A little extraordi
nary and intelligent effort at this time
mtjy save a good deal of trouble in the
near future.
Gon Weaver, Mann Page and one or
two other speakers opened the populist
campaign in Virginia day before yester
day at Patrick Court House. The meeting
is said to have been a disappointment,
from a populist point of view. Next Mon
day the first real big gun of the campaign
is to be touched off at Charlottesville.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada. Congress
man Simpson, of Kansas, Congressman
Pence, of Nevada, and Senator Peffer are
on the programme for speeches at that time
and place. Senator Stewart, a republi
can, would appear to be out of place in
such company were it not that he has sil
ver to sell. The Virginia democrats will
also open their campaign next week.
The long debate in the House on the
silver question may not have changed a

THE MOKNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AFfJFST 31, 1593.
The Trials of the Newspaper Man.
The life of a newspaper man in this city
lias not been an easy one during the last
few days. It has not been passed upon a
bed of roses. Very little of it has been
passed upon a bed of any kind. Knur,
early morning until morning came again
he has been compelled to keep wide
awake and hustle to get the facts of the
great storm that swept the southern
coast Sunday night, and to sift the truth
from the vast quantities of reports that
tbousand-tongued rumor set afloat.
And the complete pai<cr. such as the
Morning News always aims to be, had to
be made almost wholly out of local mat
ter, because the same cause that fur
nished almost unlimited local news cut
off completely the telegraphic news.
Everybody in the Morning News office
lias made a sjiecial effort to supply the de
ficiency in telegraphic news, and, assisted
by many not connected with the paper,
have, we believe, succeeded to the satis
faction of the public.
Special efforts were made to get news
from isdnls (tutside of Savannah, particu
larly from Charleston, because it was be
lieved that that city had suffered sc
verel.y from the storm. Tuesday after
noon the Morning News sent a telegraph
o|>erator to a |sdnt on the South Bound
railroad from which communication could
be obtained with Charleston, and from
there the first telegraphic news from
Charleston was received after the de
struction of the telegraph lines.
On Sunday night there was not, of
course, any news received from any point
by wire. On Monday night a wire to the
west was obtained by way of Jackson
ville. It did not work well, however, and
very little news was secured. The vote
on the bill to repeal the Sherman silver
law was received, and that was about all.
Tuesday the cyclone had got across
the.country and had cut off communica
tion with the west. For a while it looked
as if there would be no telegraphic news
Tuesday night. Fortunately, however, a
line leading to Washington was repaired
in time and connection with New York
was obtained. The amount of telegraphic
news received, however, was small.
The local news field was worked for all
it was worth, and it was a rich field, as
the local reports in the Morning News
abundantly prove. It was not an easy mat
ter to get news, however. There were plen
ty of rumors, but they could not be ac
cepted. They had to be “run down” to find
what foundation they had. It was frequent
ly discovered that they contained no truth.
Still, they had to be investigated, because
they might prove to be well foundod.
The thorough equipment of the Morn
ing News office and the discipline of the
Morning News force, and the loyalty to
the paper of all its employes in each de
partment, were never before shown to
better advantage. One day, or even one
night, of such strain as has been endured
since last Sunday is exhaustive. How
great then must be the endurance to stand
the strain for four or five days continu
ously !
One instance of the enterprise of the
Southern Associated Press was the send
ing of the noon press dispatches by wire
to Augusta and thence to Savannah by a
special messenger, who came by rail.
Among those to whom the Morning
News is indebted for courtesies during
the last few days are: Capt. R. G.
lining, superintendent of the Savan
nah, Florida and Western Railway;
Manager Maxwell, of the Western Union
Telegraph Compaay; Messrs. Ford and
Fleming, of the South Bound Railway;
officers of the Central Railroad and the
Ocean Steamship companies and masters
of pilot boats and other vessels.
The Senate says the governor of a state
has no legal right to appoint a senator of
the United States because of the failure
of the state legislature to elect; there
fore lat Mantle, of Montana, and John
B. Allen, of Washington, are not entitled
to seats in the Senate. The decisive vote,
31 to 23, was had on the Mantle case Mon
day afternoon, when Senators Voorhees
and Gorman voted against seating him.
Neither of the Georgia senators voted on
the question. The Mantle and Allen cases
were similar, so that the Allen case was
disposed of without a call of yeas and
nays. One senatorship from Wyoming
will lie declared vacant for a like reason—
illegal ap;>ointment by the governor;
hence it is likely that the three north
western states mentioned will be rep
resented in the Senate for the
next two years by one senator each.
Tho next regular session of the legis
lature of each of the states will be held in
January, 1805, and the probabilities are
that no extra session will be called in
either of them, for economic reasons. It
will be remembered that at the former
sessions each legislature went into dead
lock on the senatorship matter which was
unbroken for months, and there is no good
reason to believe that called sessions
would not pick up the deadlocks where
they were dropped and continue fruitless
balloting for months longer. New elec
tions of legislators will probably be nec
essary to the settlement of the senator
ship questions.
Tho G. A. R. of New Jersey is stirred
up because of a row in its ranks over sev
eral eminent ex-confederates. Phil
Kearny Post, of Newark, recently invited
Gens. I.ongstrcet, Fitzhugh Lee, Hamil
ton, Gordon, Early and Pryor to partici
pate in a reunion and celebration. At the
same time invitations were sent to vari
ous G. A. R. posts throughout New
Jersey to join in the reunion. Several
of the posts, learning of the invitation to
the ex-confederates, not only declined to
attend, but denounced Kearny post for ex
tending courtesies to “persons who en
deavored to destroy the union.” It has
been more than a quarter of a century
since Grant, at Appomattox, said: “I/ct
us have peace;” still there is little peace
in G. A. R. ranks.
Georgia's representatives in the House
voted on the silver question on Monday
as follows: On free coinage at lti to 1
Yeas, Messrs. Black, Lawson, Livingston,
Ijestcr, Maddox, Moses and Tate: nays.
Messrs. Cabaniss, Russell and Turner.
On the revival of the Bland-Allison act—-
Yeas. Messrs. Black, Lawson, lister, Liv
ingston, Maffilox, Moses, Russell, Tate;
nays, Messrs. Cabaniss and Turner.
On the Wilson bill to repeal uncondition
ally the silver-purchase law—Yeas,
Messrs. Black, Cabaniss, Lawson, Lester,
Russell and Turner; nays, Messrs. Liv
ingston, Maddox. Moses and Tate. This
little list is worth proserving; it may be
valuable for reference at some future
date.
A financial stringency, a quarantine
and a devastating storm have fallen to
Savannah s kit during the recent past;
still she is not cast down. Indeed, she is
as lively and bright as ever, and is hust
ling for business as though nothing had
happened. Money is a Mule easier, cot
ton is selling readily, fail goods are on
the move, the river is all right and get
ting deeper every day and confidence is re
turning. What more is needed!
CAPITAL GOSSIP.
Stupid Rumors as to a Certain Bar
gain oh the Tariff Measure.
Washington, Aug. :4l -Messrs. Sperry
of Connecticut and Warner of New York,
of the committee on banking and currency,
object to the Tom Johnson hill. They
think its passage would open tho way to
a further depletion of the gold holdings of
the treasury bv the demand for the re
demption of the notes issued in exchange
for the bonds dbposiled by owners. John
Shermau objects to it on the same ground.
Representative Johnston of Indiana, a
member of the committee, says that if
some proviso could be adopted whereby
the notes issued by the treasury in ex
change for the bonds something for ex
ample, like the guaranty on national bank
notes in his opinion there would be no
doubt of favorable action by .the tom
mi ttee.
OPEN TO AMENDMENTS.
Mr. Johnson of Ohio, the author of the
bill, says he is willing to accept any
amendment that will hasten the passage
of the bill. Prompt action he desires
above all things, but it must be action
that will relievo the stringency. He ob
jects to changing the form of the notes
because that would require an entire new
set of plates, and to make them would
take too much time.
CUM GUANO SALTS.
A report has gained some circulation
here to the effect that a proposition has
been made by certain democratic senators,
who are recognized as friends of the ad
ministration, to some of the more ardent
friends of silver, that if the latter will al
low the Senate to come to a vote on the
repeal bill, the tariff will be allowed to
rest undisturbed for some time to come'
The proixisition was rejected.
THE REPORT FLOUTED.
I give this as a floating rumor. It is al
together improbable. It would be foolish
for any set of senators to guarantee that
the tariff shall be undisturbed. No set
of senators, nor indeed all the senators
combined, could fulfill such a guaranty. It
is the intention of the House to go to
work on the revision of the tariff as soon
as passable, and do the work as quickly
as its importance will allow.
I cannot believe that any
friends of the administration
are in favor of leaving the tariff undis
turbed, nor can I see why they should
be—especially in the face of the Presi
dent’s declaration in his message, that he
had intondod to call congress together
in September to consider tariff revision.
THE PRESIDENT'S THANKS.
He Telegraphs Them to the Author of
the Repeal Bill.
Washington, Aug. 30.—The following
telegram from President Cleveland re
specting the vote in the House on Monday
on the silver question was received this
morning by Chairman Wilson, who intro
duced the repeal bill:
Buzzard's Bay, Mass, Aug. 28.—T0 Hon. Wm.
L Wilson Washington, D. C.: Please accept
for yourself and your associates in to-d ay s
achievement my hearty congratulations and
sincere thanks. Grover Clf.veland.
Hearings on the Tariff Bill.
Washington, Aug. 30. —Hearings will be
given by the committee on ways and means
to persons interested in the' preparation
of the tariff bill, beginning next Monday,
September 4, and closing on the 20tli of
that month. The committee held a brief
special session this morning to determine
this matter. There was not a full attend
ance, but the matter having been fully
discussed yesterday, it was decided for
mally to enter order to-day. The repub
lican members of the committee made
strenuous efforts to have this period ex
tended, but on a yea and nay their efforts
were defeated, the vote being taken on
party lines.
THE GALE ATJCOLUMBIA.
It Swept Every Part of South
Carolina.
Columbia, S. C.. Aug. 30.—The storm of
Sunday night and Monday morning was
one of the fiercest that ever swept over
South Carolina. Wires are down in every
direction and details an) hard to get at.
Damage was general, extending over the
entire state, severest in the southeastern
angle, and least severe in the north
western angle. The damage at
Beaufort and Port Royal and
tho neighboring low islands skirting
the Atlantic const was frightful if reporls
are accurate. 'I be rice fields along the
Savannah and its affluent streams were
torn up b.v wild winds and waters. The
water driven in from the Atlantic and
the tides were unprecedentedly high, in
some places eighteen feet above mean
high water mark. Much rice cut and
stacked was swept awa.v, and uncut rice
suffered sirioualy. Sea islanl cotton
farms were terribly washed up.
All the rivers in the state areover their
banks and lowland crops are ruined.
Corn looks as if logs had been rolled over
it. Cotton is badly torn up. The damage
to crops amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every town in the
state suffered damage, shade trees are
down ami roofs injured.
Columbia has no telegraphic communi
cation with the outside world. The wires
are down for forty miles at a stretch.
Destructive Fire in London.
Ixmdon. Aug. 30.—The packing box
factory of George York & Cos., the piano
forte factory of Squire & Sons and
several other workshops and stores on
Euston road, near Van Hope street. Lon
don. were burned to the ground this
morning. The carriage factory of Harri
son A Sons was much damaged. Squire
A Sons lost two hundred pianos. Total
loss .280,000.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.
A Deputy Sheriff Attacked and
Three Prisoners Get Out.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 30.—About 7
o’clock this morning, when IVput.v Sher
iff Willis McArthur went in the jail to
feed the prisoners, he was assaulted by
George Cook, a negro held for burglary,
receiving wounds that may result in
death. It seems that when McArthur
last night shut the prisoners in their cells
by moving a lever that closes a number of
cells automatically. Cook had. without
being noticed by McArthur, fixed his
door so the moving licit would miss tho
catch. This morning when hoopenedthe
door, fastened with a combination lock,
and entered the Jail, Homer
Willis, tho young white man
confined in our jail for safe keeping under
a fifteen years' sentence for murder in
Dawson, called him to his cell, pretend
ing to have something to tell him.
THE ASSAULT ON TUE DEPUTY.
At this juncture George Cook pushed
his door open, rushed up behind McAr
thur and struck him two heavy blows on
the head with a leg he had wrenched
from the iron cot in his cell. He then
took the keys and McArthur's pistol, un
locked Homer Willis’ cell, when they,
with a second negro named Green, made
a break for liberty. Other prisoners gave
the alarm. Chief of Police. Lamar, a
member of the paid fire department and
others near by rushed to the Jail Justin
time to turn back other prisoners
Willis and his two companions rushed
up an alley to Igimar street, thence across
yards, gardens and high fences into
Church street. A negro woman reported
to the crowd of excited citizens who
came rushing after the fleeing prisoners
that she saw them run under the first
Methodist church. Cook refused to sur
render, and was uixm the eve of shooting
Chief Lamar with the pistol he had taken
from McArthur, when Willis snatched
the pistol an i gave it to I-amar. telling
Cook they would all be killed if they re
sisted.
THE WOUNDED OFFICER.
McArthur's skull is fractured, but he
has regained consciousness and some hope
is entertained to-night that he may re
cover.
In this county last night, on the planta
tion of J. It. Gatewood, a negro girl 13
years old shot and killed a negro boy 8
years old. The coroner went out to-day
to hold the inquest. The only excuse the
girl gave for the killing was that she did
not like him because he was red-headed.
She is quite small and was brought to the
city and lodged in jail.
BRUNSWICK'S AGONY OVER.
Save That Supply of Provisions Does
Not Equal the Demand.
Brunswick, Ga,, Aug. 30.—The fever
scare is about over. To-day’s bulletin
from the health board says; “At the
meeting of the board of health held this
day all practicing physiciaus report no
new cases of any kind or of suspicious
fever since last meeting, and furthermore
that none have occurred since the Cox
case, which is now entirely recovered.
The said case was reported seven days
ago. The city and government physicians
are encouraged to believe that the
trouble is over.”
All danger of an epidemic here is about
passed, and citizens are beginning to re
turn. Provisions are being distributed
judiciously, but the supply on hand will
not last long. Mayor Lamb has wired
Congressman Turner to urge the govern
ment to send aid quickly.
ANXIETY AT SPARTANBURGK
Expected Attempts to Liberate a Man
Sentenced to Hang.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 30.—A gentleman
who came here from Spartanburg re
ports that it is rumored there that the
friends of Goorge Turner, the wealthy
white man who is to hang on Friday for
killing his brother-in-law, are preparing
to raid the jail at Spartanburg and re
lease him by force. These friends are
from the mountain districts and are reck
less characters.
ANXIETY IN THE CITY.
The people of Spartanburg are anxious
over the situation, and are preparing to
protect the jail at any cost of life. Tur
ner must hang, is the verdict of
the jury and of the largo majority
of the people of Spartanburg county,
and unless Gov. Tillman interferes there
is no power on earth that can save him.
DETERMINED UE SHALL HANG.
“If the friends of Turner raid the jail
there will be one of the largest funerals
shortly thereafter that Spartanburg
county has ever known,” say the friends
of law and order. There is thought to he
some ground for the rumor, and a bloody
light may take place at any time.
MANUFACTURERS MEET.
Agitating a Subtreasury and Home
Market for Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—At a meeting of
the Manufacturers’ Association, recently
formed for the purpose of encouraging
