TROPHY FOR NEW JERSEY.
COMMITTEE'S DECISION W NS
.AGAINST THE GEORGIA TEAM.
Governor Voorhee* Rendered the De
cision in \ew York Yesterday*
(apt. Williamson and Col. Brook*
Telegraphed tke Morning News of
It—Evidence Proved That Geor
gian* Did Not (haage Target*.
Austin, Plillpot nnd Atkins Were
Heinutated—Decided That the
Georgia Team Hail Sufficient
Grounds for a Protest—Evidence as
to Identity of the Targets on
Which the Scores Were Made AN ns
at Variance.
The prote.il of the Georgia team in the
Hilton Trophy cornea: was not s’laialned
by the Executive Committee of the New
Jersey Rifle Association. This news was
telegraphed the Morning Nr-tvs from New
York lasi flight by Capt. W. W. WilLam
eon and Col, Jordan F. Brooks.
The committee decided that the evid nee
submitted by the Georgians proved con
clusively that they had not changed the
targets, substituting another for the one
at which the New Jersey marksmen shot.
The sworn evidence of range oftl- r and
employes, the gentlemen telegraphed, was
such, however, as to the identity of the
targets on which the irregularities were
discovered that the committee decided it
was an impenetrable mystery as to which
was really shot at by the Jerseymen. Ac
cordingly, it was decided that the protest
could not be sustained, as the Georgians
could not rebut the evidence of the range
officers and employes.
But the evidence of the Georgians was
admitted to be very strong, it was so
strong, in fact, that the committee rein
stated three members of the Georgia learn
that it hod debarred from future contests
at Sea Girt on the ground lhat they had
acted unfairly in visiting the (tils at night
and unaccomimnted by a range officer to
examine the targets. These members were
Capt. NY. G. Austin and Private T. G.
Phil pot of Savannah and Private Atkins
of Atlanta.
The committee further declared that the
Georgia team ho<l sufficient grounds for
filing a protest and that not to have done
so would have been a dereliction of duty.
The decision of the committee was ren
dered by Gov. Voorbees.
This rmans that Ihp Hilton Trophy win
go to New .b rpe-y. The gentlemen did not
touch upon that point In their telegram,
but it Is tak-n for granted that they a c rt
the decision an-1 will abide by it. The tro
phy will doubtless be sent on to the Now
Jersey team soon after the return of the
officers of the Georgia Pam from New
York.
Capt. Williamson, Col. Brooks, Cos!. A.
R. Lawton. Cnpt. Austin nn l Private Phll
pot were the Savannah gentlemen who
went on to attend the meeiing of the com
mittee. Private Atkins of Atlanta was also
present. No doubt the gentlemen were nil
dlsapiolnted in the decision, as will be
those In Savannah interested in rifle
shooting and the Gc- r* a ><am. but there
is a certain sat s action to be found in the
fact that a hearing was accorded the pro
tert and in the exoneration of those who
were debirr, and from future contests ut Sea
Girt.

KNIGHTS OF LAEOR MEETING.
PARSON 6 CALLS ATTENTION TO
NATIONAL (l LEST IONS.
Say* the Knight* Should Take
Their Pnrt In the AlTnlr* Before
the Conn try—Secretary-Treasurer
Hayc* Discusses the Progress of
the Order, nnd It* Work—Effect of
Competition—Executive Board Re
port* on Powderly.
Boston. Nov. 15 —The session of the gen
eral assembly of (he Knights of .Labor be
gan to-day with General Master Work
man Parsons of New Y'ork in the chair.
After the appointment of committees,
the Committee on Credentials reported
that seventy delegates were present, out
of a possible 105, oral that several others
from Canada and the Far West were ex
pected to-day and to-morrow.
General Master Workman John N. Par
sons of New York, in his report, said, in
part:
"Since the session at Chicago I have had
occasion lo visit a number of local assem
blies, including (hose of Chicago and
Cleveland, and I feel fully convinced that
we are sorely in need of a competent corps
of organisers. During the coming year
the country will be again excited over the
issues that will arise in the contest that
will be waged for the control of affairs
of this country for (he succeeding four
years. 1 think, therefore, it behooves ua
at this meeting to take up some of those
issues, in. or<ler that our representative
men may be given the benefit of the judg
ment of all.
"Perhaps the most important of those is
sues will be ti e trusts. The concentra’ion
of wealth ns employed in the lndustri s of
our country has made many strikes during
tile past few years, and has resulted to
the workingmen’s detriment wherever
such combinations hare been effected. It
r* mains for us to uphold the stand taken
by the founders of our order, who saw
the approach of the corjdit on (hat Is fast
coming on. How to meet it is a quest on
that should le glvtn your rareftif ccnsd
eration as the Knights of Labor, above all
other organizations, will te expecied to
s|xk on thly important question.
“The war just clos-d with Spain has
brought us new possessions and practically
anew people. How to dial with them just
ly and wis. Jy and with a future regard for
our economic conditions, is a question also
upon which the Knights of Labor Ehould
be heard.”
I’rogrc** of the Order.
The report of Secretary-Treasurer Hayes
was then submitted. It is, in part, us fol
lows :
In spite of cruelty, derision and scorn,
for almost one-third of a century, the
Knights of Labor had not only held their
ground, but had grown and flourished, he
said. From the reports received, both
from assemblies and organizers, he felt
that he would conscientiously congratulate
the order upon the prosperous condition
and the hopeful outlook for the future.
During the year the organization of
trusts, and the combination of capital for
aggressive operations in almost every
field of industry had taken on anew im
petus. Never before had the liberties of
the people, the free institutions of our
government been in such imminent danger.
These unlawful, predatory combinations of
capital was the enemies of mankind, the
advance guard of despotism,
“Under the pica of exigencies of war. a
large increase in the regular army was
asked for and granted. After the treaty
of |>eaee with Bi*ain, a large army was
kept unnecessarily In all of the ceded Isl
ands. and the Philippines incited to hos
tilities, making an apparent reason for the
further increase in the standing army, and
a tthe same time raising the issue of im
perialism. a colonial system proposed,
common to monarchies and despotisms.but
entirely foreign to Ihe spirit of our Insti
tutions and absolutely in defiance of the
constitution.
Looking to Competition.
"We already realize the effect of the
competition of European pauper labor.
Should these Islands be annexed In any
form. It means the competition of 10,000,000
or 20,000.000 of unskilled Malay la
borers. What this would mean to us. it is
useless for me to say. Imiiertalism means
despotism, the end of free government, nnd
the return to fudallsm of the dark ages.
Let the Philippines go in peace lo w rk
out their own salvation with our best
wishes and such assistance as we may he
able to extend. Let the army scheme be
crushed without mercy or parley. This
recognition of the power of government 10
coerce the people into submission to its
arbitrary decrees Is Ihe object the plot
ters are aiming at. This is the meaning
of imperialism and once recognized, and a
standing army allowed, libeity is dead,
capital is king, and the empire o£ plu
tocracy rises.”
He asked approval of a plan for the es
tablishment at the headquarters of the
order, of a school of civics and social and
political science, history, oratory, and com-
I>osltion, in order that young men may
qualify themselves at nominal cost to in
teli’.gcntly and ably promulgate and de
fend Knights of Labor principles and
study the problems of the present and the
future, with the aid of ail that history
und science can bring to their assistance.
Executive Hoard Heard Front.
The report of the general executive
board was read by J. G. Schonfarber of
Maryland. In part, it says:
“We beg to suggest for discussion at this
session of the order (lie re-establishment
of a defense fund. ’Some steps should
be taken at this session to put three or
four lecturers and organizers In the field.
“Immediately after the adjournment of
the general assembly In Chicago the ma
jority of the executive board met In
Washington and took up (he settlement of
the Powderly case. Mr. Powderly agreed
to accept our settlement and withdraw all
suits against the order. The secretary’s
report shows that Mr. Powderly accepted
11,500 as a settlement of back salary due
him, the amount which we had at all
times been ready to pay him in settlement
in full. However, our claim against Pow
derly for the use of the orderjs name and
his services In the publication of the Ln
tior Day Annual remains unsettled. While
the majority of the board are not yet sat
isfied as to the best course to pursue In
reference to this latter matter, We are of
the opinion tha> someihing ought to be
done by authority of the general assem
bly.”
The delegates were given a banquet at
the American House to-night.

Eliot will add $5,000 from his own purse

AGENTS FUR THE SIXTHKIIB.
Freeman for I’nssengm nnd Cox for
Freight.
The Southern Railway Is progressing
with its arrangements for getting down to
business in Savannah. The offices of both
the freight and passenger departments will
be opened before many days have |ssed.
It is the present intention to get the ims
sengcr office established by Dec. 1, and it
may lie that the freight agent will be
able to get himself fixed up with quarters
by the same time.
Jt will be a matter of interest to his
many friends n Savannah to learn that
Mr. James Freeman has been appointed
city ticket agent for the Southern. He is
a young man of ability, plearing address
and attractive personality that will be
sure to make him popular with all the
patrons of the Southern. The road may
be congratulated upon having started its
career in this city with the selection of
Mr. Freeman for this position. He and Mr.
Randall Clifton, district passenger agent,
who was in the city yesterday, will to
gether look after the interests of the pas
senger department.
Mr. Freeman has been tvlih the Tybee
Railroad as ticket agent for several ye rs.
He is a young man, having started in the
railroad business with the Central when
very young. He was brought down from
one of tho company’s minor offices, where
he had dlseh irged the duties of agent
witli no little abi.lty, and placed in ehu ce
of the ticket business of the Tybee Rail
road. His s lection by the Sou:hein as its
ticket agent .it so important a point as
the road considers Savannah is a compli
ment an okier man might well feel proud
to have won.
Mr. J, L. Cox will be in charge of the
freight office here. He is at present located
at Charlotte, where he is soliciting agent.
Mr. Cox is said to be an excellent man,
and doubtless he will give local competitors
reason io know he is in the railroad busi
ness when he begins to work for freight.
It is understood Mr. Cox’s office will be
located on the Bay.
Some speculation has been indulged in
as to wbe.her the mail from the north will
be brought in ov. r the Fior du Cent al and
Peninsular, as at pre-ent, or the Southern
after the latter line begins running into
Savannah, whi h will lie on Dec. 10. The
Southern now receives the mall at Wash
ington, turning it over to the Florida Cen
tral end Peninsular at Coumbta. A
Southern Railway man says the Southern
has the contruot and will continue to bring
the mail into Savannah.
Mr. S. H. Hardwick, assistant general
passenger agent for the Southern Railway,
was among the visitors to Savannah yes
terday. Mr. Hardwick will be quite a
frequent visitor to Savannah in the fu
ture, and in that its citizens will find mat
ter for congratulation, as he has many
friends among them. The establishment
of Southern offices here will mean that
Mr. Hardwick will be getting down from
his headquarter-; at Atlanta to look after
the business of his line. This morning
Mr. Hardwick will leave for Jacksonville.
His trip to this city was over from Char.cs-
where he attended a meeting of gen
eral passenger agents of lines interested
in the proposed convention of the National
Educational Association for that place.
Mr. Hardwick said the officials got to
gether very nicely on Ihe question of rates,
agreeing to all that was asked by the
secretary of the association, and something
more besides. The rates may well be very
low, as the roads will have a great deal
of business to handle if Charleston is set
tled upon as the place for the convention.
It is said there will be arv attendance of
some 15,(XKX Other places are working for
the convention, and it may be that
Charleston will rot be successful.
Mr. J. J. Griffin, traveling freight agent
for the Norfolk and Western Railway,
was in the city yesterday. Mr. Griffin’s
headquarters are at Columbia.
The Southeastern Passenger Association
has offered a fare that will doubtless be
an inducement to many visitors to attend
the Brunswick Fair. During its progress
the rate charge by the railroads will be
one fare for the round trip, except on Nov.
28 and 3(1 and Dec. 2, when one cent a mile
will be charged these ticekets limtied to
two days.
The railroads confirm the announcement
of a rate of $1.50 for the military to Bruns
wick on Thanksgiving day. This rate
was originally announced by the Morn
ing News as that which would probably
prevail for Ihe trip. It has not been de
ckled yet whether the Plant System or
the Florida Central and Peninsular will
get the business. Thai is a matter that
will rest with Col. A. R. Lawton of the
First Regiment.
ARREST OF YACHT V lIIOOSE,
It Won lnnece**nr>- and tire Case
Ilia Been Dismissed.
New Y'ork. Nov. 15.—During the progress
of the recent yacht races, the steam yacht
Vamoose, under charter and in the ser
vice of the Associated Press, as a dispatch
boat, was arrested by ’ Lieutenant Com
mander J. C. Fremont, who was in charge
of the flotilla of torpedo boats under su
preme command of Capt. Robley D. Ev
ans.
The arrest of the Vamoose was made
despite (he fact that she was sailing
astern of tho yacht Columbia, which was
making the course alone because the
Shamrock had carried away her topmast,
and nftcr the Vamoose ha-1 obtained per
mission to approach the committee boat
to get the official time at the fuming
mark. The Vamoose was laken by Com
mander Fremont to the Manning, Copt.
Evans’ flagship, and in the face of pro
tests and explanation that permission had
been given, the Associated Press was de
prived of the use of Its swiftest dispatch
boat, the Vamoose being sent to the city
in command of a revenue officer.
She was released immediately after sh?
reached the city by the authorities herd,
but charges were perferred against Capt.
Theodore Hellbron, master of the Va
moose, and hearing was had on Nov. 7 be
fore the local board of the Steam Vessel
Inspection Board. Lieut. I. V. Gillls of
the toroedo boat Porter, who gave the
Vamoose permission to go astern of ihe
committee boat, testified that he gave the
permission and subsequently so advise I
Commander Fremont, ami that in his
Judgment nothing, therefore, could be
done against the Vamoose. Commander
Fremont was present as a witness against
Capt. Ileilbron.
Inspectors Petrie and Barrett carefullv
considered the case after the hearing and
have notified Capt. Heilbnon lhat on the
evidence they have dismissed the case.
Means a Cure
Or /No Pay e
HYOMEI DYSPEPSIA CURE
The Only One Which Treats Each Phase
of the Disease Separately. -
THE ONLY: ONE'TeVER GUARANTEED.
C
. __ >
Wien you use “ Ilycmei Dyspepsia Cure ”it means a cure or no pay. With
all others you take a risk. It is the only one ever guaranteed, and this fact alone
is sufficient reason for not -wasting your time and money by experimenting with
cures in which the manufacturer has no confidence himself. If you were pur
chasing a home, no matter how beautifully the description was worded by the
seller, you would not think for one moment of paying for the same if he refused
to give you a deed, or a written agreement to refund the money in case it was
not as represented. Why, then, should you take risks in buying dyspepsia cures
simply because of the wonderful claims made bv the advertiser when he does not
dare to guarantee the same. The R. T. Booth Company do not fill the papers
full of what their remedy has done for other people. They say to you, the
sufferer: If it fails to cure me will refund the money. If it fails to cure , mark
this, not if it fails to relieve, for any cheap cathartic will do this. No matter how
much relief it gives,if it does not cure, your money is refunded. Understanding
this, it would seem folly on the part of any sensible person to hesitate one moment
between Hyomei Dyspepsia Cure and others not guaranteed. Send for one day’s
treatment free.
