to induce settlement in the south is sim

poorest land we have, and the impression

Washington, June —An unsuccessful
effort was made by Mr. Turner, deni., of
Georgia, in the House this morning to get
Unanimous consent for the consideration
of a hill intended to cure what he said

March 3, 1890, creating circuit courts of
appeals, by provi dug that appeals may
be taken frotji orders of those courts ap
ttoiming receivers. But at the suggestion
Of Mr. Heed, rep., of Maine, the bill went
over.
The further consideration of the Indian
appropriation bill was resumed in com
mittee of the whole, proceeding under the
live minute rule.
Mr. Wilson, rep . of Washington, of
fered an amendment prohibiting the ap
pointment of Indian agents from other
states or territories than the one in
which the agency is located. Mr. Wilson
said he offered this for no personal rt a
son. but in behalf of the democratic
party in Washington and other western
states. In answer to a question by Mr.
Maddox. Mr. Wilson admitted that
he went to Washington a carpet-bagger,
saying th3t he would never have had
money enough to get west of the Kooky
Mountains if he had not had a commis

The amendment was ruled out.
The debate, chiefly political, lasted un
til 4:35 o'clock, when, without having
effected any changes in the bill, the com

INEQUALITIES OF THE WAR.
Southern Women at St. Louis Indorse
Dr. Cave’s Speech.
St. Louis, Mo., Juue 9.—At a meeting
last night of the Southern Woman's His
torical Society of this city, the oration of
Dr. Cave at the unveiling of the monu
ment in memory of the confederate
soldiers and sailors at Richmond, Va.,
was read and warmly applauded. The
committee presented the following pre
amble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas. For many years the southern
people have borne misrepresentations,
slanders, a use. sneers, and jeers, hoping
that time would soften the animosity of their
conquerors, and.
Whereas, The policy of silence has not
proven a success. Therefore, be It
Resolved, in our opinion the policy of
silence under falsehood and abuse is unwise
and should be no longer pursued. And be It
furth"r
Resolved That we send to our Dr. Cave our
heartfelt thanks for breaking that bad policy
and assure blm that we also have ever held
unwavering faith that enlightened posterity
wiu decide that the south was in the right.
And be it further
Resolved. That we herewith present to the
thinking people of the city a few indisDutable
facts on which the south will rest her case in
the calm coniideme of wining a verdict:
1. That wars of conquest are per se wrong.
2. That wars jf defense are always right.
3. That from tne rtrst to the iast day of the
war the north fought a war of conquest.
4 That from the tirst to the last day of the
war the south fought a war of defense"
!>..lhat the ioutn from the nrst was eager
for peace-prayed for peace
6. That the north's answer to her prayer
was the arming of 2,772.PJb men to hurl on the
south to kill, desolate and conquer.
7. That at no time did the south have half
if she had one third* as many men to meet
these merciless invaders
S. 1 hat in Ita four years' efforts to conquer
the South, the north wasted the enormous
sum of 271 U).i0,000.
0. That in her efforts to resist the conquest
the south ha 1 r.o money, but tnat she spent
her neart's blood without stint.
By these ar,d other indisputable facts the
south will be judged.

Cyrus \Y. Field was bom in 1857. He
was graduated from Williams College in

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JUNE 10. 1894.
CONDITION OF COTION.
A Favorable Showing Exdt in the
Monthly Report.
Washington. June F—The returns of
the correspondents of the statistical
division of the department of agriculture
to June 1 show that over tbe greater part
of tbe cotton beit the weather conditions
of the planting season have been only
moderately favorable to seeding, germi
nation and growth. Tbe cold snap of the
latter part of May, with continuous cool
ness since, has discouraged the growth of
the plant m the states of i.eorgia,
Alabama, the Uarolinas, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Tennessee. In addi
tion to the cold weather, droughts
in some sections have had
a retarding influence on both germination
ar.d development. Plantingdias been de
layed to a considerable extent in some
sections, and owing to the dryness and
cold preventing cermiuat.on in others,
replanting be atne necessary, home
abandonment of crop and the substitution
ot other crops is noted in not a few local
ities. Tbe best conditions reported are in
the states of Texas. Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Mississippi, ranging from 91 to 97,
while the lowest conditions reported are
in Tennessee and Georgia, being 78 and 76
respectively.
As will be noticed, there has been a gen
eral deficiency of rainfall in the greater
part of the cotton beit during May. and
rain was needed in Oklahoma, Arkansas
and in portions of Georgia. Alabama.
Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas. The northeastern part of the belt
seems to have had sufficient precipitation.
The average condition of the crop in
consolidation of the reports is 88.il, as
compared with 85.6 last year, and 85.9 in
1893. The state averages are as follows:
Virginia 97 Louisiana 95
North Carolina 8) Texas 94
South ( aroli a ... .83 Arkansas 97
Georgia 86 Jennessee 79
Florida 97 Oklahoma 100
Ala ama 8s Indian Territory . 100
Mississippi 91j
The returns show a slight general in
crease of area planted as compared with
last year, due entirely to the increase in
the states of Texas, Mississippi and Ar
kansas. The average percentages is 100.6.
The state percentages of acreage as com
pared with that of last year are as fol
lows:
Virginia 97 Louisiana 98
North Carolina 96 Texas 107
So ;th Carolina 99 Arkansas lU7
Georgia 95 Tennessee P 6
Florida 97 Oklahoma 120
Alabama 99 Indian Territory . 12J
Mississippi 107 [
It will be observed that the condition
has increased nearly 3 points over that of
last year and that the average has not
materially changed.
INDIAN RAIDS IN MEXICO.
Five Ranch Hands and Three Red
skins Killed in One Skirmish.
New Orlenns, June B.—A special to the
Times Democrat from Hermosiilo, Mexico,
says: "Col. Manuel Montez, one of the
state officers who has been guarding the
settlers of the couutry south and west of
here from the depredations of marauding
tribes of Yaqui Indians, has just arrived
here and brings news of some more stir
riug outrages and crimes that have re
cently been committed by the Indians. A
few days ago a band of about fifty
of the braves made a raid on the haci
enda of Jose Maria Ruiz, near the little
mountain villaee of Nacory. The haci
enda was wMI fortified "and guarded
against the expected attack, and the In
dians met with a desperate resistance
when the attemped to run off a bunch of
cattle into the mountains.
EIGHT KILLED IN THE BATTLE.
The Indians were well armed and
equipped, and in the battle that took
place between the employes on the Ha
cienda and the band, five of the former
and three Indians wore killed. Angther
Hacienda, situated In the sane locality,
was attacked by ihe same band of In
dians and all of the ranch buildings, in
which were stored several thousand
bushels of grain, were burned
to the ground. Several mur
ders of white settlers ins the
Yaqui river valley by Indians are also re
ported. The government has a large
force of soldiers in the field to quell these
disturbances, but nothing has as yet been
accomplished by them The attitude of
the Apaches on the northern border of
this state and Chihuahua is also reported
to be threatening, and they are likely to
make an outbreak at any time.’’
KILLED BY BANDITS.
An American in Mexico Stabbed to
Death and Robbed.
New Orleans, June 9.—A special to the
Timps-Democrat from Oaxacax, Mexico,
says: "An American named Henry W.
Lawrence, of Missouri, arrived here a
few weeks' ago on an overland trip
through Southern Mexico. IJe had

Magnates Denounced.
Ocaia, Fla., June 9.—Gen. Bullock and
St. Clair Abrams were the reform orators
to-day. Jacksonville's contingent. Messrs.
Barrs. Cockerell, and Fletcher, did not
appear owing to tbe fact that they were
not officially notified that their pres.nee
was desired. They wanted something
more definite than newspaper announce
ment to present themselves. While many
desired to see and hear them, Gen. Bul
lock’s remarks and Mr. Abrams' red-hot
speech filled the bill and delighted a
courthouse full of people.
F. E. Harris, editor of the Ocala Ban
ner, called tho meeting to order and said
there was a misapprehension about the
meeting and some of the speakers, and
Gen. Bullock would explain. The expla
nation consisted in stating how he be
came one of those who met in Jackson
ville and attached his name to a document
which has caused a tremendous howl
from corporations and their hirelings,
and those democrats who were quietly
working with them for what was in it.
He said he recognized the fact in that
address of democratic pledges broken,
which the rank and fi’e
of the party demanded should be kept.
He denied that the reformers met to par
cel out the offices; it was not thought of
or mentioned. He denounced the news
papers which so unjustly criticised their
actions and the motives attributed to
those who, in all sincerity, were speak
ing for the best interests of the producers.
The general made a first-class railroad
commission talk, in which he said he
wanted a fair and impartial one; one
that would do justice to all parties con
cerned.
MAJ. ABRAMS INTBODCCED.
Then he Introduced Maj. Abrams, who
he said, was just bristling with facts and
figures which he had secured by coming
in contact with railroad officials and as
these corporate cormorants had stigma
tised him as a rascal, he facetiously re
marked. the rascals having" fallen out,
the major would now tell the truth
A synopsis cannot do justice to
the incisive, powerful and brilliant
speech of the fearless orator of Lake
county. He had no apology or explanation
to make for his connection with the
reform movement. He gnew what was
confronting the people and he would
speak his conviction-. It was for the
people to say whether they or the monop
olies should rule. It was not difficult to
see why certain lawyers and editors
spoke for corporation and hurled their
editorial philipics a' the people. It
was the dangling checks of railroads
before them that made them so active for
them. He spoke of bis twenty years in
Florida, how he found its affairs of*tale
and finance, and what helped them
out of their troubles—the sales
of lands to the Disstons. It was
then he urged upon Gov. Bloxam to
bond the lands of the state for the build
ing for 3,000 or 4.000 miles of railroad and
lease them to parties to operate* His ad
vice was not heeded. Had it teen the
present state of affairs would not now
exist. As it was. the railroads got the
lands and the people with them.
A CHARGE OF BRI3ERT.
He created a sensation by saying that
certain democrats were pledged to vote
for the railroad commission bill in the
last legislature: that one was full of en
thusiasm for it. had said so to him. had
written a speech, part of which he read
to him, but when _it came to
a vote, be voted * “no." That
man was Maj. Marks, of Orange
county. He could ouly surmise
what caused a change of heart. Rail
road lobbyists swarmed over Tallahas
see. Certain senators were seen with
these henchmen of the railroads, and on
various occasions were seen going toward
Dubois' famous wine vaults. He also
mentioned the vote ef the distinguished
senator from Volusia county, but did not
know how he was converted. He said if
he i Abrams hail ■eon converted in 24
hours from a strong railroad commission
man to an anti, he knew an enlarged bank

nificant qut- ticn -vhy so many senators

contact with the lobby changed their
minds. He told who H. B. Plant was in

Gen. -k and himself stumping the
state and assisting in redeeming it for
democracy. But the corporate trice said
he and Ger. Bullo k were trying

He also referred to the Florida Central
and Peninsular and the increase of their
bonded debt while having nearly fl4oth(rio
in the treasury. By their showing it was
doing a prosperous business. Then why
did they need this surplus cash? The
same could be said of the Jacksonville.
Tampa and Key West railroad. If he
(Abrams) was a rascal he ie&t-ned it from
those who abased him. He spoke of his
experience m building railroads, and
knew what they cost. He said he could
more than replace the Florida Central

He did not f rget the late organisation
of the railroad employes, and did it up
with vigor, showing how it was not a
a matter of c hoice, out ne esslty that
compelled them to side with tne em
plo.ers. To illustrate he told the

he saw a white mau with whiskers and

things?” The point was seen and appre
ciated.
He told in a capital vein the story of
Mr. Flagler becoming a citizen of Florida.
He felt elated over this fact, for he knew
bis wealth of *25,000,000 would add Id
taxes *12.500. to the revenue of tbe county
o’ St. Johns an l the same amount to the
state, tie felt proud of this millionaire
cracker citizen. To confirm his happy
s ate of c.ind. he wrote to the tax
collector of St. Johns county. Sad to re
lat ' Mr. Flagler appeared on the tax
books for ¥40,350 instead of ¥25.007:000.
and had changed his residence from New
York city Vo Florida to es cape a taxation
on ¥3,500.000 there, for virtually nothing
her-. Then it was the major revised his
mental happiness and pride as those facts
appeared about Cracker Citixen Flagler.
O<’XS BE OXLT A MmoCSiT.
Contrasting tho monopolist with popu
list, he said be could be neither, but a
democrat. IT the railroads did what was
fair and equitable, what had they to fear
from a just commission! Oh, yes. tbe
monopolists wanted a commission law.
but they modestly demanded to frame
it. To illustrate this he told the
story of the burglar who had robbed the
safe until anew lock was demanded by
the owners of the safe, when up stepped
the crook and o tered a lock that only
those who had a key iould open. It was
about to be accepted, when a farmer,
with more discernment than the rest, re
marked, “But suppose you have a dupli
cate key.” So with the corporate rail
road commission.
He paid a high compliment to Senator
Mills, who refused to me t Sugar Trust
Havermeyer. So he. while in Tallahas
see, refused to talk with a railroad lobby
ist unless a witness was present, ije
told, humorously, how legislators were
cot always bought with money in hand.
He knew of cases where members won
large sums from lobbyists at poker and
voted in their interests. He asserted that
tbe iwer should remain in the hands of
the people and not in those of the corpo
rations. To do this, only truo aud tried
men who could not be bought, should be
sent to tbe legislature. Mr.,Abrams' an
nouncement that he was a democrat from
principles and in tbe party to stay, be
cause if relief was to be had this' party
was bound to give It to the people
was bailed with a round of applause’
Y.'hat he wanted and would fight for was
to drive the rascals out of the party,
purify it amt make it what honest voters
wanted it. If he did not succeed this year,
he would continue at it next and so on,
until the happy consummation did take
place.
A MASTERLT EFFORT.
The speech was a masterly effort. It
pleased hit audience and convened many
to his views who before hearing him
were prejudiced. He proved he was a
true democrat, and all he asked was that
the principles of the party should not be
prostituted for cor pirate benefits. It was a
great day for St Clair-Abrams in Marion
county, and whatever may be said to the
contrary, he left an impression that will
make Marion solid for a railroad commis
sion and a demand that there shall be a
divorcement of those from
party who try to lead it astray, that the
people shall rule and that monopolists
and corporations must take a back seat.
The meeting was a success. Nearly
ever;.- portion of the county was repre
sented by its leading citizens, and as
good democrats as ever drew breath.
Neighboring counties were represented
also.
Senator Call sent the following dis
patch : “Present my assurance of sup
port aud sympathy with the democrats
at Ocala. The hops of free government
is in the people opposed to corporation
rule.”

SENATE DEALS IN SUGAR.
Chapman Refuses to Divulge His
Firm's Secret.
He Employs Counsel to Protect His In
terests—He Declines to Say Whether
Speculation In Sugar Certificates
Durirs the Pendency of the Debate.
He Announces That Senator Brlc
Did Not Trade In the Certificates
Through His House.
Washington. June 9.—The sugar trust
investigation committee was later than
usual in assembling to-day. E. R. Chap
man, of the firm of Moore & Schley, Sen
ator Brice's brokers, who declined to
testify yesterday until he had consulted
counsel, was the first witness. He
has retained Judge Dittenhoefer,
of New York, as his attorney and
the latter advised him not to
tell any of the Drivate business of his
firm. Mr. Chapman's examination con
sutned three hours and a hail'. He re
fused to answer some questions concern
ing the private affairs of the firm of
Moore A Schley, pleading advice of coun
sel, but gave very full testimony on other
points.
Mr. Chapman told the committee in an
swer to a question that his firm had
handled large quantities of stock of the
American Sugar Refining Company', dur
ing the pendency of the tariff bill.
ANOTHER REFUSAL TO ANSWER.
Senator Gray asked him if any of those
transactions in sugar stock or certificates
were transactions in which any 7 senators
of the United States were interested,
either directly or indirectly, during the
pendency of the consideration of tho
tariff Uni, and Mr. Chapman answered:
"With all due respect to this honorable
committee, I decline to answer that ques
tion, or any question relating to tho busi
ness of the firm of Moore & Schley,
of which lam a partner. Our relations
with our customers aro those of the
closest confidence, and should wo violate
this confidence, even at the demand of
this honorable committee, we should
justly forfeit the respect of those upon
whom we must dtpend for oar ousiness.”
In answer to Senator Gray, Mr Chap
man said he declined to answer for the
reason given, and not for fear that au
answer might expose him to criminal
prosecution.
Other questions relating to sugar
stocks that might have been purchased by
his firm for senators he likewise refused
to answer.
SHOWN THE STATUTE.
The attention of tho witness was
calied to the sections of the revised stat
utes providing for the punishment of per
sons ref using to answer questions asked
by Senate committees. Mr. Chapman
read the statute and still declined to
answer.
•‘is there anything further you wish
to adu< Uikeu Senator Davis.
"At the session of the iomniit*oe
yesterday." said the w itness a letter was
read from Senator Brice that has i aused

letter would he sent to the committee. 1

ATLANTA’S EXPOSITION.
Col. Livingston Confident the Appro*
priation Bill Will Pass.
Washington, June 9. —The bill appro
priating $*500,000 for the government ex
hibit at the Atlanta exposition will come
before the House within the next ten day*
or two weeks. The Indian appropriation
bill is now. under consideration, and when
this is disposed of the general deficiency
bill will probably be called up. Repre
sentative Livingston, of Georgia, who has
charge of the Atlanta bill, believes that
the measure will follow the deficiency bill.
The Atlanta bill, it will be remembered,
met with considerable opposition in iha
committee. Mr. Livingston believes that
the republican side of the House will sup
port the Mil with practical unity, and
that it will also receive considerable
democratic support. He is somewhat sur
prised at the opposition which has mani
fested itself against the measure on the
part of some democrats from Illinois and
the northwest, who were strong advo
cates of the government appropriation for
the world’s fair. Notwithstanding this
fact he has no doubt that the bill will
pass the House by a fair majority, although
theoprosition in his opinion will be greater
than so meritorious a measure deserves to
encounter.
