A WEARY SESSION AHEAD.
Congress in for a Tiresome Session of
Many Months.
The Wilson Tariff Bill to Be Taken Up
Immediately in the House Chair
man Wilson May Be Unable to Begin
His Speech Before To-Morro^— The
Hawaiian Resolutions.
Washington, Jan. 2. —Congress will
come together again to-morrow after a
two weeks'recess, prepared for a strug
gle that is certain to last many weary
months. What has already been done is
insignificant in comparison with what re
mains to be accomplished, and. in fact,
the few weeks of the session precedin g
the recess hardly sufficed to out
line distinctly the programme
of the leaders charged with
the responsibility in either house.
Probably the very weight of the task be
fore them causes many of the senators
and representatives to be slow in their
response to the demands of duty and in re
turning to Washington from their homes,
and it is expected that the attendance in
both houses will be small for a day or two
at least.
SENATORS TO TAKE IT EAST.
There is not the same necessity for ac
tive exertion by the Senate as is the case
with the House, for the former body will
have ample time to dispose of the more
important matters on its calendar before
the tariff bill is received from the co-or
dinate branch. Therefore the proceed
ings in the Senate, at least this week, are
not expected to be very important. Pro
bably an effort will be made to begin
formally tlie consideration of the House
bill to repeal the federal election laws,
but in this case it Is hardly likely that
the programme will progress beyond the
point of delivering a few speeches, and,
about Thursday or Friday a recess may
be taken until the following Monday.
OPENINO or TUB TARITr DEBATH.
The long anticipated debate on the
tariff bill is expected to begin In the
House ■ to-morrow. Much, however, de
pends upon Mr. Wilson, the chairman of
ways and means committee. Mr. Wilson
is exhausted with the unremitting labors
of the past few months, that some doubt
is expressed to-night if he will be physi
cally able to speak on the measuro before
Thursday. His speech is still uncom
pleted, although he hopes to finish It be
fore the beginning of to-morrow's
■ession. If the chairman finds
himself unable to address the House on
the tariff question Wednesday, the bill
will probably be taken up and read in ex
tenso.This will occupy several hours, and
it Is not improbable that when this shall
have been done, the fortifications bill,
which is now on the calendar, may be
taken up and occupy the remainder of the
day.
THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTIONS.
There is some doubt as to the action of
the House on the resolution reported from
the foreign affairs committee indorsing
the action of the President regarding
Hawaii. If a quorum of democrats be
present Chairman McCreary may call up
his resolution after a few speeches
have been made on the tariff
bill, and rush it through the House.
Mr. McCreary is hardly likely to
do this, however, unless there are a suffi
cient number of democrats in attendance
to insure the passage of the resolution.
No definite programme has been arranged
for to-morrow. If Mr. Wilson is ready
discussion of the tariff will be begun.

TILLMAN TO THE JUSTICES.
Those Who Fail to Enforce the Dispen
sary Law to Be Removed.
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 2.—Gov. Tillman
to-day issued a circular to the trial jus
tices informing them that it is their duty
to enforce the dispensary law, and that
“those who do not act with promptness
and vigor and endeavor to enforce tho
law, may as well send in their resigna
tions, as no negligence or favoritism will be
tolerated.’’
Concerning the drawing of juries, he
says it is the duty of trial Justices to see
that no names are put in the hat except
those of men who will find a verdict ac
cording to the evidence and not perjure
themselves through prejudice against the
law.
As it is impossible for state constables
to cover the entire territory, trial justices
are expected to see that their constables
seize all contraband liquor and make ar
rests of parties breaking the law, as pro
vided by the act. Every seizure thus
made must be reported to the state com
missioner. who will send a certificate for
the payment of a reasonable fee upon re
porting the facts to the governor
Special attention is directed to section
29. giving the right to examine suspicious
packages. Trial justices will, in every
case, arrest and proceed against express
agents, or other railroad employes, who
lay themselves liable under the pro
visions of the law. The right to search
without a warrant applies only to places
of business or public places. In all places
where liquor is believed to be in a private
residence and is being sold search war
rant* must be issued. Persons are not
allowed to buy in other states and bring
into this state any quantity greater than
a gallon. Searches must be confineu to
depots, and no car will be entered to make
a search unless under express orders of
the governor.
Augusta Banks Consolidated.

Florida's Teachers in Session.
Jacksonville. Jan. 2.—The Florida
Teachers’ Association met in annual con
vention to-day at. Gainesville, Fla. About
600 teachers are in attendance.
ATKINSON’S PLATFORM.
Hon. W. C. Glezm Objects to Its
Anti-administration Declarations.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2.—The fight on Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson, on account of his anti
administration platform, is beginning to
open up. In the announcement of his
candidacy last Sunday, Mr. Atkinson put
himself on the ground as opposed to the
policy of the administration, and from
day to day the local press has been de
voting more or less space to him on this
account.
Hon. W. C. Glenn, who has taken a
part in the discussion, will publish an
article to-morrow in which he says: ‘"The
attitude of Hon. W. Y. Atkinson and Gen.
Evans are distinguished by large and iffer
enees. Mr. Atkinson evidently believes
that there are large elements not only of
disaffection but of opposition to the ad
ministration in this state, arising from a
number of causes, some political and
some personal. In addition, he has num
bers of personal and political friends, and
he hopes to succeed, with their aid, in
gathering up and focusing all these
elements in his own behalf, and thus to
achieve success In his candidacy. The
tone and manner of his announcement is
characterized by that confidence and
aggressiveness which is one of his strong
est marks, and that announcement serves
distinct notice that he expects to carry the
war out on the line which he had chosen.
It occurs to me that Mr. Atkinson hopes
for success, not by a criticism of, but by
a distinct, direct arid aggressive attack
upon the policy of the Democratic party
as administered by its national exponents
without waiting to see its results worked
out, and without even waiting to see it de
veloped on all points. This appears to
me to be the real spirit of his announce
ment. It is submitted that the time has
not yet arrived to make this course either
proper or desirable, and perhaps never
may. except by those who are endeavor
ing to produce and will be satisfied with
nothing less than a complete and final
broach with the authorized representa
tives of the national Democratic party.”
A SCANDAL AT ALBANY.
The Fire Chief May Lose His Head.
A Death—The Defunct Newspaper.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 2.—The new city
council of Albany began its labors last
night and one of their first steps was to
cut down the salaries of several officers
which they thought were too well paid
for the work incident to the offices. The
reports of the various departments show
the city to be in a splendid condition and
are quite flattering.
During its first session the new council
was confronted by a numerously signed
petition asking for the decapitation of the
city's present efficient fire chief, Thomas
E. James. The petition charged that Chief
James had recently brought to shame
a certain young girl and that the city
could not afford to countenance such con
duct on the part of any of its officials,
however efficient they might ho in the
discharge of the ordinary duties of their
office. A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the charges and if unfounded he
will be exonerated, otherwise he will be
discharged from the service of the city.
The case is one with a decidedly sensa
tional flavor and the rosult of the investi
gation .is looked for with keen enterest.
A DEATH.
Mrs. Martha Price, wife of D. W.
Price, died in this city last night after an
illness of a few hours, from a stroke of
paralysis. She was a noble Christian
woman and her death is sincerely
mourned by a large circle of friends.
The outfit of the defunct News and Ad
vertiser was not sold to-day at sheriff’s
sale as advertised, owing to a plea of il
legally having been filed by Editor F. O.
Pruett. Dr. J. D. Turner, of Atlanta,
held a mortgage for the purchase money
on thejtlant and the estoppel of the sale
brings on an issue between him and Edi
tor Pruett. Five years ago the News and
Advertiser was a valuable piece of prop
erty, being easily worth *IO,OOO and bring
ing in a pretty income to its owners and
publishers. Bad management started it
on the down grade and caused its failure
after more than a quurter of a century of
usefulness.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1894.
KEY WEST IN A FLURRY.
The People Ready to Protect the Span
ish Clgarmakera.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 2.— A cablegram
to the Times-Union from Key West, Fla.,
says: "The strike in Seidenberg’s cigar
factory has assumed serious pro

tain Cubans have threatened to do
them bodily harm. An immense mass

MRS. HALL’S LIBEL SUIT.
The Claim Now Made That the Defend
ant Did Not Write the Article.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2.—The sensational
libel suit of Mrs. Selina Cole Hall against
E. F. Gould for *25,000 damages, which
was begun yesterday, struck a snag this
morning, and was continued until the
22d inst.
It was brought about by a plea entered
by the defense, in which it was set up
that the libellous card complained of was
not written by the defendant, but
by his attorney without his knowledge or
consent. Upon this the prosecution plead
surprise and asked for further time. This
turn of the case adds another sensational
feature, as there is a direct conflict in the
statement of Gould's attorney. Charles A.
Head, who claimed that his client knew
nothing of the libellous card.
City Editor J. K. Ohl, of the paper
which published it, testified that he re
ceived this card from Messrs. Reid and
Gould together, both having brought it
into the office. The case promises to be
exceedingly spicy.

HALL TO LEAVE ATLANTA.
Fashionable Society Shocked by an
Invitation to an Auction.
Atlanta, Jan. 2.—Ultra fashionable so
ciety received a sad shock to-day by the
announcement that Sam M. Hall would
bid them farewell shortly to take up his
residence in New tork, where he will
have a wider field in which to display his
talents. Mr. Hall has always been more
or less conspicuous in society and is
commonly referred to as “our Ward
McAllister.” His most recent achievement
was the establishment of a restaurant,
which gained him some rather unpleasant
notoriety. Mr. Hall, in preparing to pull
up stakes, has adopted the novel idea of
conducting an auction sale of his effects
among his set. He thinks they would be
willing to pay a pretty penny for a souve
nir, and has issued invitations to the sale
of his bric-a-brac, etc.
WOODWARD FINED #l6O.
A Jury Convicts Him of Libeling Hon.
W. H. Venable.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2.—J. K. Woodward,
editor of a labor paper published hero
several years ago, was convicted of libel
in the city court to-day, and fined *ls®.
Several months ago Woodward referred
to Hon. W. H. Venable as a thief. Mr.
Venable went to his office and beat him
into insensibility with a buggy whip,
leaving scars on his face that will mark
him for life. Mr. Venable was
found guilty of assault and battery,
and fined *IOO. Mr. Woodward brought
suit for *IO,OOO, and Mr. Venable began
proceedings for libel, the suit being dis
posed of to-day. Woodward’s damage
suit is still pending. When Mr. Venable
was convicted the foreman of the jury
arose and stated that the jury thought he
was justified in cowhiding Woodward,
but had to find him guilty under the law.
