LAWMAKERS OF THE STATE.
Two Bills of Interest to the Local Pol
iticians Passed.
One Transfer* the Old Registration
Lists to the Ordinary's Office and the
Other Is the Osborne Substitute for
the Rockwell Bill—The Brannan Oar*
cishment Bill to Be Reported Favor
ably—A Fight Over the Atlanta Expo
sition Appropriation.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29—The Senate ob
served Thanksgiving day by taking a day
off, but the House met as usual and for
two hours worked industriously on com
mittee reports and local bills. At noon,
however, the members began to feel as if
they were doing something they did not
have to do and when a motion to adjourn
was made, it was quickly adopted.
It was expected that the committee on
privileges and elections would report Its
recommendation on the Fayette county
case this morning, it having been agreed
last night to unseat Mr. Cook, the popu
list. in favor of A. O. Blalock, the demo
cratic contestant. For some reason, how
ever, the committee held back its report,
but sent in a recommendation for the dis
missal of the Jackson county contest, for
the want of prosecution and declaring the
pitting members, Messrs. Bennett and
Sells, populists, regularly elected. The
House accepted the report. Mr. Blalock of
Fayette will probably bo seated to-mor
row.
For the second time the general Judiciary
committee to-day reported the constitu
tionality of the proposed appropriation of
$25,000 for state exhibit at the Atlanta ex
position next year, the exhibit to be under
the direction of the agricultural depart
ment. A minority report signed by eleven
members headed by Mr. Fouche of Floyd
was submitted to-day, however, declaring
the proposed appropriation unconstitu
tional. This will bring on a fight over it
in the House. With the prevailing spirit
of economy that has so far characterized
the House, the exposition appropriation
will not have a very smooth road to travel.
Tomorrow the general registration bill
reported by the special committee to pre
pare It will be the special order In the
House. Mr. Brannan of Fulton has pre
pared a substitute for the committee bill
which he will present. It has the same
end in view, but it is claimed that it great
ly simplifies the method of registration
and voting.
To-day the committee on labor agreed to
report the Brannan bill relating to the
garnishment of daily wages of laborers
and mechanics favorably with slight
amendment.
If the bill becomes a law there will be a
great change in the commercial standing
of laborers and mechanics. Fnder it 50
per cent, of all over $25 per month earned
is subject to garnishment. The present
law totally exempts dally wages.
The House passed the bill transferring
Dawson county from Judge Gober’s cir
cuit, the Blue Ridge, to the northeastern.
The bill to provide for a sinking fund
of SIOO,OOO each year was also passed.
Mr. Greer’s bill authorizing judges of
county courts to preside in other counties
was passed, and also the bill to create
a state memorial board to look after the
historic places and things of the state.
Mr. Doolan’s bill for the transfer of the
old registration books from the office of
the county commissioners to the ordi
nary’s office was passed; also Senator Os
borne’s substitute for the Rockwell bill
fixing the time of electing city officers
by the mayo-r and aldermen of Savannah
and providing for the election of anew
set of officers in January next.
ARSENIC IN THE WELL.
Thirteen Persons Poisoned on a Planta
tion Near Calhoun.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—Thirteen persons
on Bud Turner's plantation, near Cal
houn. were poisoned to-day. All of the
Turner family are desperately 111 and sev
eral of the servants are very sick. The
symptoms indicate arsenical poisoning.
At first it was thought that fresh hog
meat had caused the illness of the family,
and an Investigation is being made to dis
cover trichinae, but thus far no trace
of it has been found.
The last report from Calhoun was that
arsenic had been thrown in the well, but
by whom has not yet been learned.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
They Held Up a Train, but Failed to
Make a Success of It.
San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 29.—The South
ern Pacific passenger train was held up
at Elka at 12:30 o,clock this morning.
About a half mile east of Elka, two
masked men crawled over the tender
of the engine on the Southern Pacific
road and ordered the engineer to stop
the train. The engineer did as ordered.
When the train came to a full stop the
robbers ordered the engineer and fireman
to get out of the cab. Then they ordered
the fireman to go back and cut the train
behind the express car. The robbers
fired several shots. When the fireman
went to the express car he only cut
loose the hose that ran to the coaches.
The robbers boarded the engine and tried
to pull out. but could not. They left the
engine and no more was seen of them.

SEELY MAY SURRENDER.
A Belief That His Lawyer Is Nego
tiating With the Bank.
New York, Nov. 29.—Samuel A. Seely,
the fugitive bookkeeper who assisted in
the plundering of the Shoe and Leather
Bank of $354,000, is still at large as far as
can be learned, but his arrest is a matter
of but a few days. The impression is
gradually gaining ground that the man
is near the city, and that his agents are
making terms of surrender with the bank
officers, ami that he will surrender him
self when these negotiations are com
pleted. Rumor lias had It since yesterday
that Lawyer Angel has already secured a
bondsman for his client in anticipation of
Ills surrender, when satisfactory terms
are reached with the bunk. Mr. Angel
gave an evasive answer when questioned
on the subject.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 18D4.
SECRETARY SMITH S REPORT
What He Has to Say ol the Affairs of
His Department.
His Views Relative to Matters Pertain
ing to the Indians Work of the Gen
eral Land Office—A Few Facts About
the Patent Office—lnteresting Matters
Relative to the Territories—An Addi
tional Building for the Department of
the Interior Recommended.
Washington, Nov. 29.—The Secretary
of the Interior opens his report
with the statement that the work
of the Indian bureau becomes more inter
esting as it is better understood. Its task
is that of developing people no longer sav
age, but far from civilized, into beings
fit for American citizenship and capable
of self support. The secretary says:
"There are two means chiefily relied upon
—education and allotments of land In sev
eralty.
I do not question the advisability of al
lotting land to Indians in severalty, but
I do most seriously question the propriety
of this course before the Indians have
progressed sufficiently to utilize the land
when taken. The allotments should be
made to the Indians in severalty for the
good of the Indians, for the advancement
of the Indians, not for the purpose of
obtaining land connected with the In
dian reservation to satisfy the insatiable
desire of border men, w’ho obtain it fre
quently, not for homes, but for specula
tion.”
“I recommend that the general allot
ment act be so amended as to insure to
any Indian who shall settle upon and
improve a particular tract, under the di
rection of his agent, the permanent own
ership of such tract by giving him a pref
erence right to select it when allotments
are made.”
With reference to contract schools
among the Indians the secretary says:
"The contract schools are now the sub
ject of general discussion. I agree fully
wdth those who oppose the use of public
money for the support of sectarian
schools. But this question should be con
sidered practically. The schools have
grown up. Money has been invested in
their construction at a time when they
were recognized as w’ise instrumentali
ties for the accomplishment of good. 1 do
not think it proper to allow the intense
feeling of opposition to sectarian educa
tion, which is showing itself all over the
land, to induce the department to disre
gard existing conditions. We need the
schools now r , or else we need a large ap
propriation to build schools to take their
place.
It would scarcely be Just to abolish
them entirely—to abandon instantly a pol
icy so long recognized. My own sugges
tion is that they should be decreased at
the rate of not less than 20 per cent, a
year.”
In respect to the sale of public lands
the secretary says: “The public lands
disposed of during the year, by cash sales,
miscellaneous entries, and selections of
all kinds, amounted to 10,377,224.72 acres.
In addition to this 28,876.05 acres of Indian
lands were disposed of, making an ag
gregate of 10,406,100.77 acres. The commis
sioner approximates the vacant public
lands remaining at 606,040,313.71 acres.
This does not Include Alaska (which con
tains over 360,000,000 acres), military and
other reservations, or railroad and other
selections yet unadjudicated, parts of
which may in the future, by sale or resto
ration, be added to the public domain.
The total cash receipts from the dis
osal of public lands amounted to $2,674,-
285.79; $91,981.03 were received for Indian
lands.
Over 35,000 agricultural patents were is
sued, granting, approximately, 5,040,800
acres. Mineral, mill site, and coal pat
ents were issued to the number of 1,429.
About 3,100 patents were issued to the In
dians for allotments or selections in sev
eralty, covering 101,936.34 acres. Patents of
all classes issued during the year cov
ered about 7,700,1X10 acres, a decrease from
the preceding year of over 2,000,000 acres.
The secretary devotes considerable
space to pensions. He says: "At the
close of the'fiscal year ending June 30,
1894, 1*69,544 pensioners were borne upon
the rolls, an Increase of 3,532 pensioners
during the year.
The pensioners may be classed as fol
lows:
Soldiers and sailors 753,968
Widows, orphans and other de
pendent relatives 215,162
Army nurses 414
Of these 16,610 pensioners are on account
of Indian and other wars prior to the late
war, and 15,429 widows, orphans, and other
dependent relatives. Under the act of
June 27. 1890, there are 375,084 pensioners
and 94,260 widows and orphans.
It is interesting to note that 9 widows
and 3 daughters of veterans of the revolu
tion constitute the pension roll for that
war. Forty-five survivors of the war of
1812 constitute the remnant of that list.
The total amount expended for pensions
during the past fiscal year was $139,801,-
461 05, leaving a balance from the appro
priation in the treasury of $25,205,712 65.
The estimate for the fiscal year 1896 made
by the commissioner is $140,000,000.
The commissioner states that, in his
opinion, the year 1895, thirty years after
the close of the last war, must in the na
ture of things see the highest limit of
the pension roll which, therefore., must
begin to decrease. The number of pend
ing claims In the bureau has decreased
over 90,009 during the year. A large num
ber of the new claims are for increase by
pensioners now on the rolls. The number
of certificates Issued was 80,213.
The aggregate of persons added to the
rolls during the year is 39,085, and the to
tal number dropped for all causes, 37,951.
The report of the commissioner of pat
ents for the year ending June 30 last shows
that there were received 35,952 applications
for patents; 1.050 applications for designs;
108 applications for reissues; 2,193 caveats;
1,720 applications for trade marks, and 368
applications for labels. There were 22,546
patents granted, including reissues and de
signs; and 1,656 trade marks registered.
The number of patents which expired was
13.167. The total expenditures were $1,053,-
962 38; the receipts over expenditures were
$129,5*10 80, and the total receipts over ex
penditures lo the credit of the patent of
fice in the treasury of the United States
amounted to $4,409,366 74.
The secretary thinks that an additional
building ought to be provided for the
Interior department. He states the case
thus:
"The Increase In the business assigned
to It and the larger number of employes
required, has made it necessary to rent
buildings from private parties for tha
office of Indian affairs, bureau of edu
cation, the geological survey, the census
otlice. the United States pension agency,
the civil service commission, the patent
otlice model exhibit, and for the storage
of document*.
"Though selected with care and Ht as
reasonable rents as possible, these build
ings, scattered here anil there through
out the city, are unfit to he the deposito
ries of the valuable archives and papers
which they contain. Few, If any of them,
are pradically fire-proof, uud it Is prole
able that great lose of life would occur
in case of fire, aside from the financial
and hlslorh ul loss lo the government by
the destruction of valuable and Irrvidat e
able records."
The report deals liberally with a large
number of other matters of Important ■
Th. foregoing subjects are the ones,
however. In whb li the public Is mainly In

DIXIE S NEWS PURVEYORS.
The Southern Associated Press Ratifies
the New Contract.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—A meeting of
the stockholders ol the Southern Asso
ciated Press was held here to-day. It
drew the largest attendance of members
since the organization of the association.
The question of a ratification of the
memorandum of agreement between the
United Fress and the executive commit
tee of the Southern Associated Press
made in New York on Monday, Nov. 26
was fully considered, and nfter consider
able discussion was adopted with only a
single dissenting vote.
The members very freely discussed the
false statement made by the Associated
Press of Chicago as printed in the Wash
ington Evening Star* of the differences
between that association and the South
ern Associated Press, and very great in
dignation was expressed at the gross mis
representations made in that report. A
committee of five was appointed to draft
a reply to the statement of the Associated
Press, which w ill be prepared at once and
£iven t the public
The association adjourned until to-mor
row morning, when it will reconvene for
the purpose of formulating a plan for con
ducting an aggressive fight and extend
ing the service of the Southern Associated
Press into the new territory conveyed to
it under the new contract with the United
Press, covering the states of Tennessee,
Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi
ana and Texas. A full midday and night
service will be offered to the newspapers
in the states added by the contract to
the territory of the Southern Associated
Press. The southern organization is now
in position to furnish its clients and mem
bers w ith an efficient service covering the
United States and foreign countries by
reason of its exclusive arrangements and
contract relations with the United Press.
All of the papers in the south are deter
mined to maintain the integrity of their
association, every member having re
newed his allegiance to the Southern As
sociated Press.
This alliance with the United Press adds
upward of forty newspapers to the list of
papers served by the last named organ
ization anil deprives the Chicago organi
zation of that number of southern papers.
The following telegrams were received
to-night:
New York, Nov. 29.—T0 Capt. Evan P.
Howell, President Southern Associated
Press, Atlanta, Ga.: Convey my best re
spects to your colleagues and the assur
ance of my hearty co-operation in every
thing that may conduce to the independ
ence and stability of the Southern Asso
ciated Press. The rebuke you have ad
ministered to the dishonest management
of the Associated Press is nothing short
of an important public service.
Charles A. Dana.
Philadelphia, Nov. 29.—T0 E. P. Howell,
president, anil Hon. Patrick Walsh, gen
eral manager, Southern Associated Press,
Atlanta, Ga.: The Southern Associated
Press will make no mistake in carrying

wdth the United Press, of which the under
signed newspapers are affiliated. \V£ are
entirely satisfied with the United Press
service and with its management, and as
sure the Southern Associated Press of an
unalterable determination to stand by the
United Press. We are satisfied that the
United Press is both able and determ
ined to maintain itself in the contest with
the Western Associated Press, and we are
equally determined to support the United
Press to the pnd.

their promises. Every member of our
association is enthusiastic in support of
the present arrangement, and we stand by
the ship with entire confidence in the fut
ure. # W. F. Balkam,
President Associated Press of the State of
New’ York.
The Southern and United Press editors
were banqueted to-night at the Aragon
by the directors of the cotton states and
international exposition.
CLOSING OF THE REFINERIES.
Louisiana Members of Congress Sur
prised at the Action.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 29.—Senator
Blanchard left the city for Washington
this evening at 6:30 o’clock. In reference
to the closing down of the sugar refiner
ies, he said: “This is news to me. I have
been so busy that I have not had time to
look at the morning papers, but I am sur
prised to learn that the refineries have
been closed down as you say. I do not
feel myself in a position to offer any opin
ion. It is a surprise to me.”
Congressman Adolph Meyers was very
much averse to talking on the subject.
He seemed to think it a most serious poli
tical question and deserving the most
careful consideration before an opinion
should be expressed.
The representative of the First dis
trict, while he would not express an opin
ion, thought it would be considered by
more than a few members of congress as
an attempt to force legislation in behalf
of sugar.
A COTTON COMPRESS BURNED.
Fifteen Hundred Bales of Cotton Go
With It.
Birmingham. Ala., Nov. 29.—T0-night
at 10 o’clock fire destroyed the Birming
ham Cotton Compress and about 1,500
bales of cotton. The compress was valued
at $27,000, and only $5,000 of insurance was
carried. The cotton belonged to Inman
& Cos., and was fully insured with a New
York syndicate. The Birmingham com
press was only put in operation about two
weeks ago and was under contract with
Inman & Cos. to compress all the cotton
they shipped here and for no one else.
The compress Is a total loss. The origin
of the fire is unknown, though the night
watchman says he first saw it in the
holler room. When the fire department
got there the flames had gained too much
head way and could not be controlled.

position he has accepted. His resignation

Its acceptance.
