CLOSE TO A COMPROMISE,
Just When Everything Seemed Filed
There Came a Hitch.
The Two Factious of the Democrats
Unable as Yet to Agree on
the Date When Repeal Shall
Go Into Effect and on the
Bond Issuing Feature—The Bepeal
Men Want the Buying to Stop in
July— The Silver Men Want it to go
on Until 1890—Hill Beady to Try
Closure.
Washington, Oct. 20.—1 t looked at 4
o’clock to-day as if the terms of the dem
ocratic compromise on the repeal bill had
been settled.
At 5 o'clock the situation was slightly
changed and it became apparent at once
that there was some obstacle in the way
of bringing the matter to a climax.
The democratic steering committee re
sumed its sitting promptly after the close
of the executive session, and it was given
out that the only purpose of the meeting
was to put the finishing touches upon
the substitute, which had been practically
agreed upon. Some of the members of the
committee felt so certain of the result
that they promised the republican mem
bers of the Senate a copy of the bill for
inspection before the adjournment.
While this copy was not forthcoming,
senators who had retained their seats in
the Senate chamber left, feeling confident
that the measure would be concluded and
ready for presentation to-morrow.
A HITCH.
At 5 o'clock Senator Gorman came
from the committee room, where the com
mittee had been engaged, and sent a mes
senger flying for someone. He looked
puzzled and disappointed, and declared
that nothing was settled. Soon the word
went around that there was a “hitch” in
the proceedings.
Such, indeed, was the case. There
was a disagreement over the bond feature
and also over the time at' which, repeal of
the Sherman act should take effect. It
appeared that the administration forces
of the committee discovered, when the
clauses of the proixtsed bill dealing with
these points was reached, that they
could not’ accept them as provided
in the document. It, is understood that
the draft of the bill then under consider
ation fixed the time when repeal was to
take effect Jan. 1, 1895, changed the au
thorization for bonds to 8 per cent, inter
est, and reduced the time limit on the
bonds to frqm five to thirty years, instead
£>f from ten to forty years as at present
provided, and confined their use to the
preservation of the parity of gold and
sliver.
THE ADMINISTRATION DEMANDS.
From information received from others
than members of the committee, but men
who have the best means of knowing, it
is considered probable that the adminis
tration members of the committee made
an effort to have the time for 3 the
expiration of the Sherman law fixed at
July 1, 1894. The same author
ity asserted that the treasury officials
had said earlier in the day that if the
purchase of the silver bullion should cease
on July 1 of next year, it would be
possible to preserve the parity without
any action whatever upon the bond
question, and as some of the staunchest
of the repeal democrats who are members
of the committee are opposed to the
bond proposition, it is probable that the
effort of to-night was in the direction of a
reduction in the time of the future exist
ence of the present law and the elimina
tion of the bond proposition altogether.
ENDED WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT.
The committee remained in session un
til 6:15, but instead of having a completed
bill to hand to the republican side of tho
chamber the conference came to an end
without reaching any agreement at all,
with the date and bond questions unde
cided, but with the understanding that
another effort would be made, probably
to-morrow.
Some of the silver democrats have suid
that if their party steering committee
did not reach a conclusion by Monday
they would join with tlte republicans and
pass Senator Quay's amendment, which
extends the Sherman law until Jan. 1,
1896. or a year longer as the best that is
offered to the silver men by the democrat
ic bill.
But on the other hand Senator Hill*
says that he has already had assurance
of a large vote for his proposed closure
resolution on the democratic side as soon
as it becomes apparent that the steering
committee cannot agree. The outlook is
therefore for lively times and uncertain
results if the committoe is not able to
satisfactorily conclude its labors at an
early day.
A CONFERENCE WITH CARLISLE.
Seven or eight democratic senators
visited Secretary Carlisle as the repre
sentative of the administration at the
treasury department to-day, and sub
mitted to him a compromise proposition
to take the place of the re
peal measure now before the Sen
ate, which they thought practically
all of the democratic senators
would support. Secretary Carlisle
dissented from some of the terms of the
proposition and showed wherein they
would in practical operation be objection
able. There is excellent reason for say
ing, however, that before the middle of
next week a repeal bill will
be passed probably with a provis
ion authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue bonds not exceeding
$200,000,000 and coin the seignorage now*
in the treasury. This, it is said, would
not be considered a surrender by the ad
ministration and it is stated on reliable
authority that the bill passed in this
shape would not be objectionable to the
president.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Senator Voorhees Wives Notice of a
Closure Amendment to the Rules.
Washington, Oct. 20.—Senator Voor
hees gave notice of an amendment to the
rules when the Senate convened this
morning. It provides that when a bill or
resolution pending in the Senate as un
finished business shall have been debated
thirty days any senator may move to fix a
time for taking a vote thereon. Such a
motion shall not be amendable nor deba
table. and if passed the pending bill or
resolution shall be voted upon at the time
fixed.
The Senate then went into exeutive
session.
Vlr. Morgan, by request, introduced a
bill to facilitate tin* collection of the
debts payable to the United States from
government aided railroad companies,
and to enforce the accountability of the
directors of said companies.
The Senate opened its doors at 3 o’clock.
The House bill to suspend for the year
lMtit the law requiring SIOO worth of labor
to be expended on improvements made ou
each mining claim was passed after an
amendment excluding corporations- from
iu benefits.
A conference with the House was asked.
PEFFEU TALKS ON SILVER
The repeal bill was then taken up and
Mr. Potter offered a free coinage amend
ment. With some slight alterations, it
revives the law of 1h;(7 Mr Fetter then
resumed bis pc<-rh against the bill. In
the course of his spe.-rli Mr. Buffer re
ferred to the change of attitude on the
•liver question on the part of Messrs
Voori ( *H au<l Gorman
Mr. i urpie, of Indiana, immediate! /
called him to order for referring to sen
ators by name. The chair sustained tho
point of order, ruling that a senator
should be spoken of as the junior or sen
ior senator from the state he in part rep
resents.
Mr. Peffer followed the ruling of the
chair, and proceeded with his speech
until 5 o’clock, when, upon motion of Mr.
Faulkner, the Senate took a recess until
10 o’clock to-morrow morning.
DUTTON DIES DEFIANT.
He Protested Innocence But Admitted
Seeing the Crime Committed.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20. —Three thous
and people witnessed the hanging of
Will Dutton, (white.) at Cartersville to
day. He was convicted of the murder of
Sallie Mobbs.
Dutton was a professional gambler.
On the scaffold he was perfectly self-
possessed. He was allowed to walk about
among the crowd and sell a sketch of his
life and his autograph. Ho raised 820
by this means, which he wished to go to
ward defraying his funeral expenses.
He said he did not want the medical
students to cut him up, and threatened
to get even with them if they did
Dutton walked on the gallows smoking
a cigar, and lighted a fresh one while
standing on the trap. His bravado was
quiet, rather than boisterous.
DECLARED HIMSELF INNOCENT.
He made a short statement, held up his
hand, and declared himself innocent of
the murder, although ho admitted that
he was standing' near and saw her killed
by another man.
Dutton was an unusually handsome
man, and led a wild life. Fifty women
saw him drop. Some came from a long
distance in carriages.
Among the spectators were a man and
his wife who had been arrested for the
murder of the Mobbs woman. Dutton
had sworn that they killed her.
His coffin, covered with flowers, was
sent to his father's home in Alabama.
The medical students in Atlanta did not
want his corpse for dissection after bis
threat.
ATLANTA’S GAMBLEBS.
The Grand Jury to Indict Men the
Police Were Inclined to Let Off.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20.—The grand jury,
which has more than once been accuse i of
shutting its eyes to facts, recently, has
at last been aroused from its lethargy
and has undertaken to indict the
many gentlemen recently arrested by
the police for gaming. Within the
past two months two gaming
clubs composed, one of prominent offi
cials and business men and the other
of the swell sons of swell parents,
were pulled by the police. The first was
known as the Georgia club, and the other
as Little Monte Carlo. Both clubs had a
“pull” in city affairs, and the members
wore permitted to deposit collateral and
forfeit it without appearing in court.
City eases only were made against them,
and they seemed in a fair way to evade
the clutches of the state law, although
the action of the police court in permit
ting this was in open disregard of that
law. A few nights ago, however, an ex
pensive establishment managed by the
“profesh” was taken in. They had
no “pull,” and state cases were
made without dolay. Naturally, a big
kick followed, and to-day Judge Lump
kin ordered the chief of police to hand
over his docket to the grand jury to serve
as evidence iu indicting the members of
the Georgia Club and Little Monte Carlo,
who were so considerately treated by the
police department. The chief of police
and the detective department were sum
moned before the jury, and some sensa
tional iudictments will follow shortly.
Judge Lumpkin, who is new|ito the bench
and full of energy, evidently intends to
seo the law impartially administered.
808 BREWER IN LIMBO.
The Noted Desperado Captured While
Asleep in the Woods Near Macon.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 20.—1 tis firmly be
lieved that Bob Brewer, the noted negro
desperado who caused the riot in Jesup on
Christmas day two years ago, and is re
sponsible for the death of several men, is
at last behind the bars of the Bibb county
jail.
This morning the Telegraph contained
an account of how a man recognized as
Brewer by people who knew him had
stolen a ride on the Fast Tennesse, Vir
ginia and Georgia railroad and had de
fied the train crew. He was heavily
armed, it was said, and when last seen
was heading towards Macon.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Riley,
after reading the Telegraph’s report, saw
tho man in the woods about four miles
from the city, and from the nearest tele
phone called for a posse. Sheriff West
cott and his deputies at once went out to
the place, and surrounding the clump of
woods, closed in upon tho desperado, who
was caught napping with his rifle across
his knees, He cocked the gun and would
have raised it, but for a warning enforced
by the muzzle of a Winchester.
After being brought to the city and
placed in jail the man was identified as
Bob Brewer by men who worked beside
him at Jesup and other points. He was
armed with a Spencer rifle, a large Bowie
knife, and a brace of formidable pistols.
Additional evidence will be brought to
morrow, when the man will be positively
identified.

CAROLINA'S PHOSPHATES.
Tbe Millets Ask That the Royalty Be
lletlucetl to 50 tents a Ton.
The State Board Had Offered a Tem
porary Beduction Owing to the
Losses Inflicted by the Storm—The
Fact That Florida Collects Only 50
Cents Set Up by the Phosphate Men
in Justification of Their Bequest-
Gov. Tillman Writes a Sharp Unfa
vorable Reply.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 20.—The phosphate
troubles in this state are getting more
pronounced, and tho indications are that
mining will be suspended on account of
the great losses by the storm. The state
board offered tho companies a tem|iorary
reduction of tlte royalty of 50 cents per
ton. In a long letter to the governor to
day the phosphate men say: The total
reduction offered them by the board, in
cluding the amount of rock on hand
when the storm came, would be
only $70,000, while it will cost $300,000
to restore the plants. Even had
not the storm occurred they could not
have continued at that price and would
have had to stop. They say that they
are compelled to meet a fierce and in
creasing competition from Florida, which
state only charges 50 cents a ton royalty.
The letter concludes by a proposition to
the governor and state board of phos
phate commissioners that the royalty be
reduced to 50 cents a ton for five years,
the contract to be sanctioned by tho leg
islature.
Gov. Tillman has sent the phosphate
men a breezy answer, in which he
regrets that the river mining
companies “seem disposed to drive
a hard bargain with the state
and demand concessions which we can
notfgive.” He concludes: “I may as well
say once for all that the board considers
that it has made all the concessions pos
sible or proper, and it is unreasonable in
the miners to ask more. We will not
enter into any contract reducing the roy
alty to 50 cents a ton for five years, nor
will wo advise the legislature to make
any such agreement. The royalty in
Florida has nothing to do with
the royalty here, and then river
rock there cuts a very small figure
in the market. We were under the
impression from what we saw in Beaufort
in September that some of the dredges
would be put to work in 30 days, and
that by Christmas at least half of them
would bo mining. I do not know what
has been done towards restoring the in
dustry or whether it is intended to resume
mining at all, but the board is not respon
sible for any delay, and any attempt to
drive the state into yielding any more
than it already lias will fail. We had
just as well leave the rock in the river as
give it away. The conditions offered
by the board at Beaufort were
as liberal and just as we felt
warranted in making, and unless they are
accepted at once and written notice given
the royalty on the rock on hand Aug. 27
will be collected at the rate of $1.05 a ton.
If you choose to'go to the legislature and
make your plea there we have no objec
tion. but the board will not make any
change in the proposition already sub
mitted to you.”
WEST INDIA CYCLONE.
The Edge of the Blow Felt at
Tampa, But Nothing Serious
Feared.
New Orleans, Oct. 20.—A special to
the Picayune, from Key West, Fla.,
says: “Tho West India cyclone, reported
by the weather' bureau to be central off
the west coast of Cuba, has been mani
fest here all day, and indications point to
severe weather to-night. All largo ves
sels sought safe anchorage in the upper
harbor, and small boats were hauled up
on the beach. The weather observer says
tlie barometer was falling rapidly at Ha
vana at midday,with sharp squalls,but the
rate of the storm or direction it is travel
ing is not sufficiently developed. The
wind here commenced southeast this
morning. It has changed to north-north
east to-night, attaining a velocity during
squalls of thirty-two miles an hour. The
barometer here is falling gradually. At
6 o'clock it was only one-tenth below nor
mal. The indications point to the center
of the cyclone passing south and east

LOVE MADE A FOOL OF HIM.
A Frenchman Attempts Suicide After
Rejection By an Atlanta Girl.
Atlanta, Ga., Oet. 20.—After crossing
the ocean from sunny Italy to plead for
the hand of a fair Atlanta girl, and being
disappointed, George Chivot. a handsome
young Frenchman, attached to the French
embassy at Rome, made a .desperate ef
fort to kill himself in liis room at the
Kimball house last night. Details of the
affair leaked out to-night. The family of
the young lady almost moved heaven and
earth to suppress it, on account
of the unpleasant attention it
would attract, but the love-lorn young
Frenchman insisted upon using the tele
graph wires to reach his minister in
Washington, and in this way the story
was dropped. Chivot is a veritable
French dandy in appearance, and, as his
Atlanta career shows, is possessed of all
the romantic impetuosity of his country
men. He is the son of a wealthy mer
chant at Amiens, France, and is highly
educated.
THE MEETING.
Last summer lie and the young lady,
who was traveling in Europe with her
mother, met at Rome. The lady is one of
the most beautiful women in the state,
highly accomplished and with a fortune
at her command and family position be
yond question has always been a society
favorite. Her mother's home on Peachtree
street is a mansion. The young French
man fell madly in love with the fair At
lanta girl and devoted himself constantly to
her while she remained in Europe.
When she returned to her home, in this
city, a correspondence was kept up.
Chivot proposed and was rejected. The
young lady had enjoyed his society and
attentions, but begged to be excused from
taking him as a husband. She is thor
oughly a southern girl. Georgians suit
her ideas better than Frenchmen or Eng
lishmen.
CHIVOT PERSEVERING.
Chivot, however, would not give up his
suit, and set out to cross the ocean and
plead his cause in person. He arrived here
Thursday and was received at the young
lady’s home by her mother and brothers.
His reception was polite, but he was
given to understand that he must give up
his suit at once. Before calling the
young Frenchman had taken a glass or
two of champagne and this so fired him
up that he and Gift-brother had some hot
words during their interview. Finally
he left tho house, declaring that he in
tended to kill himself.
Fearing that he might do something
rash, a younger brother of the lady,
whom he had met in Europe, accompanied
him to the hotel and notified the watch
man there to keep an eye on him.
TRIES TO CUT HIS THROAT.
True to his word Chivot had hardly en
tered his room when he grasped a razor
and made a lunge at his throat. The
young man, who was dose at his heels,
threw up his arm just in time. The:
young Frenchman then sprang toward
the window and was getting over
the ledge to dash himself
to death on the street when he was again
saved by the watchman of the hotel and
the young man. In the struggle his leg
was hurt pretty badly, and to-day he has
been under the care of a pair of policemen
to prevent another attempt at self de
struction. Chivot will leave for Washing
ton to-morrow if he is able.
Ho is in bad spirits about the affair and
expects to lose his position in the French
embassy on account of it.
ESCAPED FROM A HOSPITAL.
A Negress Indicted for Infanticide
Flees From a Sick Bed.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20.—Caroline Brown,
a negro woman under treatment at tho
Grady hospital and under indictment for
murder —infanticide—made her escape
from the ward last night. The woman
learned of her indictment yesterday, and
though considered in a very critical con
dition, managed to escape during the
night and has not been heard of since.
Blackshear Kicks.
Blackshear, Ga., Oct. 20, Editor Morn
ing News: We would .suggest to your
special correspondent from Waycross that
he travel around a little before he at
tempts to write of the neighboring towns.
From his article on “Beautiful Black
shear" he has evidently not come this far
yet. While doubtless intending to bo
very flattering he falls far short
of doing us justice. Instead of
the two churches with which
ho credits us, we have six; also an oil
mill, a grist mill, ten cotton gins, a can
ning factory, a guano factory, a. bank, a
college, two hotels, twenty stores, court
house. Masonic lodge, good water, good
health, and a lot of pretty girls: all right
in the heart of South Georgia’s finest
farming section. J- I ■ G.
