N) SETTLEMENT YET,
SMS MR. SHAFFER
THE STRIKE SITUATION REMAINS
ABOUT THE SAME AS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
PITTSBURG. Sept. U.—Rumors that
the steel strike had been settled or was
about to be were again in circulation.
The Amalgamated officers were pos
itive in their denial that a settlement had
been effected. President Shaffer said that
• the reports that the executive committee
had ordered the advisory committee to
arrange a settlement on the best terms
at once were untrue. No new proposi
tion had been made by the association
of steel workers he said and the situa
tion was unchanged. He said there was
no truth in the story that he was willing
to resign or that the matter had been
touched upon during the committee meet
ing.
Concerning the trouble at McKeesport
and the statement that the Amalgamated
officials would be held responsible for acta
of violence committed by the strikers.
Mr. Shaffer said that if the men obeyed
instructions there would be no trouble
and any member of the association resort
ing to violence would be immediately
dropped from the association. Strikers
* talked to this morning said they had
heard that the executive committee had
taken action to end the strike but they
did not know it positively. Those seen
said they believed firmly that an order
for them to return to work would come
tn a few days and that by Monday of next
week at the latest they would be permit
ted to go into the mills as union men. No
official Inforamtlon to this effect had
been received, they said, but nevertheless
they believed it was true.
NOT A MAN APPEARED
FOR WORK AT TUBE MILL.
PITTSBURG. Sept. IL-While it was
pretty generally known from the fires
having been withdrawn that no attempt
would be made this morning to start the
tube mill, nevertheless a crowd of the
strikers was out before 7 o’clock guard
s- ing the approach to the big plant. Their
picket duty was quite unnecessary and
quite in vain for not a single man made
an attempt to go back to work. .
The crowd was not nearly so great as it
has been yet about 1.600 men patrolled the
vicinity of the mill and others were about
the B. and O. depot.
Despite the preparations made at the
Monongahela Tin Plate plant in this city,
the works did not resume work. There
was no lack of excitement but there were
no disorders.
' • ' Several colored men went into the mill
under the protection of the police.
Painter's works started double turn in
the bar mill for the first time last night.
There was a crew of 25 men and the
management say another crew will be
put on in a few days. At Lindsay and
McCutcheon’s five puddling furnaces out
of twenty were in operation with old men.
Two mills were also running with full
forces.
Another furnace was started at the Star
Tin Plate works today, making five in
operation.
STOPPED MEN GOING IN MILLS.
Strikers at McKeesport Prevent Non-
Nnion Men From Working.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 11.—Owing to looked
for trouble at the national Tube works at
McKeesport, the streets were early
thronged with thousands of strixers and
the men who were turned back Monday
by the strikers did not leave their homes.
Except at the Huey street entrance to the
mill there was no disorder. A few brick-
started Into the plant, but a crowd
of Hungarians assembled there forced
them to remain on the outside. The men
operajfhg the light department were un
able to get in the works yesterday. ,
The tie up is now about complete.
■ and it is likely the officials will shut
down the plant indefinitely. At Demmler
the works were running about the same
as Monday. The boats brought the
Dequesne men. who have been working in
the mill, over an hour earlier than usual
and there was no excltdknenh All the
crew but the engineer, fireman and cap
tain struck yesterday, but the men
were brought over with the assistance of
a number of deputy sheriffs. The head
quarters of the Amalgamated association
were again in charge of the regular of-
Aeeta. the general executive board hav
ing adjourned Monday evening with
•ut reaching any conclusion so far as
known. No date was fixed for a future
meeting, and it is said President Shatter
and his advisers were empowered to con
duct any future negotiations themselves.
■What action, if any, was taken by the
board during its three days’ session is not
known.
One report is that another trip to New
Tork by President Shaffer, accompanied
by Secretary Williams, may be made be
fore the end of the week to strive for
peace. Nothing can be learned, however,
from the officials. One and all refuse to
talk on the subject, save to still express
satisfaction with the situation.

Real Reason of Czar’s Visit Is to Se
cure Another Big Loan For Rucola.
LONDON. Sept. 11.—The Paris corres
pondent of the Times says:
The Bethany review promises to be the
greatest attraction of the crowds In con
nection with the osar's visit In spite of
all that has lately been done, it is far
mors a military than a naval power.
’lt is not yet known what the exact
Character cf the Compiegne fetes will be
—whether only French guests or repre
sentatives of the diplomatic world of
Paris will be Invited. While the czar is
at Compeigne as the guest of France that
will be his home, and the choice of guests
will belong to him.
"A man who personifies the great body
of French public opinion declares that
the czar comes to Frar.ce to pave the
way for a new Russian loan larger than
any previous loan. For half a century, he
says. Russia has been living solely on
loans.
"Nine-tenths of the empire is unpro
ductive. The last loan long ago vanish
ed. Another authority asserts that the
czar comes to France because France is
jealous of Germany after the exhibition
of brotherly love between the csar and the
kaiser in Alsace last year. It is said that
President Loubet in conversation with an
exalted Russian personage did not con
ceal his opinion of the unfortunate effect
this had produced on France, and that
his remarks were repeated to the czar."
FOR THEWHOLE WAR
YOEMEN MUST ENLIST.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—The Times says:
With the approach of mid-September
•anguine Britons believe Lord Kitchener
and the government have a plan in mind
other than the simple receipt of declar
ing the Boer war off. It Is still expected
that there will be a great change in the
situation of September 15, when Lord
Kitchener's proclamation goes Into ef
fect. the only ground for such belief be
ing that the government would not be so
fatuous as to issue a proclamation with
out a definite scheme in regard to fol
lowing it up.
On the omer hand even the conserva
tive papers now speak of the likelihood
of continued guerilla warfare through
out the coming South African summer,
while the war office has Issued an order
that imperial yeoman "must enlist for
one year, or. If the war last longer, for

NO DISCRIMINATION.
Georgia Northern Must Accept All
Freight of the T M T. A G.
After hearing the contentions in the case
of the Tifton. Thomasville and Gulf and
the Georgia Northern, the Georgia railroad
commission Tuesday issueu an order In
structing the Georgia Northern to receive
freight from the Tifton road without a
prepayment of freight.
Thjs is the second time that the conten
tions of the two roads have been before
the railroad commission and the hearing
Tuesday afternoon was a review of what
had been heard before.
It was shown that the Georgia Northern
had freight billed for its way stations car
ried over the Plant System via Pidcock,
which gives it a longer haul than receiving
the freight from the Tifton, Thomasville
and Gulf at Moultrie.
It was stated that for this reason the
Georgia Northern has been forced to de
mand a prepayment of the freight. The
commission holds that this is a clear dis
crimination against the Tifton. Thomas
ville and Gulf road and for that reason
the order was issued that It cease at once.
It Is said that the case will go Into the
courts, where the Georgia Northern will
undertake to show that it is not discrimi
nation for them to demand that all freight
be prepaid. In case the Georgia Northern
does not follow the instructions of the
commission a suit will be entered and a
fine imposed by the court from SI,OOO to
$5,000.
Rule M of the commission promulgated
June 28. under which the Tifton, Thomas
ville and Gulf road makes complaint is
as follows:
’The several railroad companies in this
state in the conduct ,of their intrastate
business shall afford to all persons equal

ery of freight without unjust discrimina

wherever special facilities are afforded
to one shipper in the transportation or de
livery of freight in carload lots or less,
whether upon a special rate authorised by
this commission or otherwise, such com
pany shall be bound to afford to any oth
er shipper or shippers, under substantially
similar circumstances, like facilities upon
like rates.
"Such railroad companies, upon such
business, shall at all terminal and con
necting points, to any other railroad com

WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
Will Not Fight Ratification of Consti
tution, But Attack Constitutionality.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept IL—Lewis
E. Parsons, former district attorney for
north Alabama and whose father was a
Republican governor of Alabama, states
that he and other Republicans are not
going to attempt to prevent the ratifica
tion of the new constitution by the people
at the approaching election, but that the
matter will be taken to congress by them.
He states that the question of whether
a state has adopted a constitution or not
rests with congress; that it is a political
question, not one for the courts to decide.
He cites as authorities for this stand that
the United States supreme court held this
opinion with reference to the Kansas
matter before the war when there were
three alleged constitutions in that state,
and that the same opinion after the war
was given iir an action of the state of
Georgia against the Federal authorities
in that state who were conducting reg
istration under the auspices of Federal
bayonets. He states that the courts in
both instances decided that the question
of whether or not a state had adopted
a constitution was a matter for congress,
not the courts, to decide.
Mr. Parsons is of the opinion that the
“grandfather clause" will be attacked
with vim in tue halls of congress.

LONDON. Sept. 10.—Dr. Krause, former
governor of Johannesburg, who was ar
rested last week and arraigned in the
Bow street police court on a charge of
treason and waa remanded, was brought
up again in the same court today. Dr.
Krause was informed that a warrant
charging him with incitement to murder
was issued in the Transvaal. Sir George
Lewis, on behalf of the prisoner, said it
seemed strange, since Dr. Krause had

should be issued in the Transvaal because
of acts committed tn England, and he
asked how could a gentleman not an

ELBERTON, Ga., Sept. 10, 1901.

Imputed to Senator Wellington relative to

True manliness could not engender them

to discipline a senator in decency by ex

WOULD KILL THE GOVERNOR.
Many Threats Have Been Made on the
Life of the State’s Chief Executive.
Apropos of the attempt to take the life
of President McKinley, Governor Candler
in speaking of the matter to friends stat
ed that he has had many threats made
against him since he was the incumbent
of the office of the governor of Georgia.
It is said that no less than fifty letters
and warnings have been received by Gov
ernor Candler during the past three years
regarding his safety, and to the effect
that certain persons Intended to kill him
for doing or not doing certain things.
During the recent trouble in Screven
county, when seven members of the
Knights of Archery, an oathbound organ
ization to kill white people, wtere hanged.
Governor Candler received about twenty
letters threatening his life.
Since his Incumbency in office he has re
ceived warnings by telephor t to be care
ful for his life. Some time ago, a rough
looking character went into the Neal
Loan and Banking company, and asked
Cashier Thornton for change for a large
bill. During the time the stranger was
there he talked and in the course of con
versation said he was here to kill the gov
ernor.
Mr. Thornton thought nothing of the in
cident, but later in going from the bank
he heard that the stranger had been in a
drugstore and had made the same remark.
He then thought it would be wise to tele
phone Governor Candler, which he did.
The governor laughed the matter off.
That afternoon, however, as Governor
Candler left his office for his home a po
liceman met him and accompanied him
the entire distance. The policeman re
mained in front of the governor’s man
sion all night and the next morning an
other officer went with the governor to
the capitol. This guard was kept up for
thirty-six hours. The governor was hard
ly aware during this time that he was
being guarded. He did not think of an
assassin and dismissed any thought of
danger to his life when any one suggested

JUDGE DISMISSES JURY.
Old Not Bring In Verdict According to
the Charge of the Court.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga„ Sept. IL—
Quite a sensation was created in the su
perior court here yesterday afternoon by
the summary dismissal of a jury by Judge
Dick Russell for failure to return a ver
dict in accordance with his charge.
The judge instructed the jury In sub
stance to acquit a negro boy who was
charged with larceny of a pistol, the
weapon being described in the bill of in
dictment as an "Ivy & Johnson” pistol,
while the proof showed it to be an Iver
Johnson pistol.
The proof, however, clearly made out
a case of guilt and the jury quickly made
up a verdict of guilty, notwithstanding
the judge’s instructions to acquit on the
technicality of the indictment.
When the jury filed into court and their
verdict was announced Judge Russell
dismissed them from further service on
the court and told them tersely that they
were incompetent to serve as’jurors, as
they seemed to know more law than the
court.
The jurors are among the most highly
esteemed citizens of the county and their
summary dismissal with the severe stric
tures of the judge has caused no little
talk.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL—Secretary of

"Recognizing the unavoidable influence
upon general business affairs of a con

ury of revenue beyond expenditure, I
have directed that incoming internal rev
enue receipts be placed with national
bank depositories until a balance with
each is reached equal to the par value of
tl.e bonds held as securities from such

This will divert about $5,000,000 from the
treasury vaults.
The secretary also Invites proposals for
the sale to the government of twenty
millions of United States bonds other

Notice is issued that he will receive

government, on account of the sinking
fund, of U. S. 3 per cent bonds, loan of
1908-1918 ; 4 per cent bonds, funded loan of
1907 ; 4 per cent bonds, loan of 1925, and 5
per cent bonds, loan of 1904, to amount
not acceding $20,000,000. Proposals should
be submitted to the secretary by letter or

promptly delivered at the United States

THE LA W UNDER WHICH
CZOLGOSZ MUST BE TRIED
PRESIDENT'S ASSAILANT MAY ESCAPE WITH A TERM OF ONLY SIX
AND ONE-HALF YEARS—MIGHT EVEN BE SENT TO A REFORMA
TORY.
Now that it is practically certain that
President McKinley will live all interest
is centered in the fate of the man who
tried to assassinate him. It is generally
admitted that the laws are not adequate
for the proper punishment of such a crime,
and the chances are Czolgosz will escape
with a comparatively light sentence.
The maximum penalty would be impris
onment for a term not exceedingly- 10
years, and this might be commuted for
good behavior to the extent of three years
and six months, leaving the actual im
prisonment six years and a half. More
over, as the assassin is under the age of
30, the trial judge could, in his discretion,
send him to the - Elmira reformatory In
stead of to an erdinary state prison. Os
course, there isffittle probabUitp-of the
latter course bsfcpg adopted.i . u .-t, >
The crime having been committed with
in New York state, the trial will neces
sarily be held there. There is no federal
statute covering such a case. United
States Jaws provide for punishing crimes
committed within territory exclusively
owned and controlled by the federal gov
ernment, but otherwise crimes are pun
ishable only by the state courts of the
state within which they are committed,
and according to the state laws. This
case would be governed by sections 217
and 220 of the penal code, the former of
which defines thS crime and the latter pre
scribes the penalty. Section 217 provides
as follows:
"Assault in first degree defined.—A per
son who, with intent to kill a human be
ing, or to commit a felony upon the person
or property of the one assaulted, or of an
other.* ’
"(1.) Assaults artother with a loaded fire
arm, or any other deadly weapon, or by
any other means or force likely to pro
duce death; or, '
“(2.) Administers to or causes to be ad
ministered to or taken by another, poison,
or any other destructive or noxious thing,
so as to endanger the life of such other;
"Is guilty of assault in the first degree.”
By section 220 it is provided that "as
sault in the first degree is punishable by
imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10
years.”
Formerly the maximum and minimum
punishments were prescribed by this sec
tion, but that was changed by the legisla
ture some years ago.
Assuming as is announced in the tele
graphic reports, that the assassin is only
28 years old, it would be possible, within
the provisions of section 700 of the Penal
Code, that he should be sent to the Elmira
Reformatory. That section provides that:
A male between the ages of 16 and 30,
convicted of felony, who has not thereto
fore been convicted of a crime punishable
by imprisonmerit in a state prison, may,
in the discretion of the < trial court, be
sentenced to imprlsonument in the New
York state reformatory at Elmira, to be
there confined under the provisions of law
relating to that, reformatory..
Should he be sent to the Elmira re
formatory the court could not fix the
ilinlt or duration of the sentence, under
chapter 711 of the acts of 1887, but he
could not be Imprisoned for a period ex
ceeding the maximum term provided by
law for the crime of which he was con
victed.*
The commutation which prisoners may
earn for good conduct is specific in chap
ter 21 of the laws of 1886, which is still in
force. Section 1 of this act provides:
Every convict confined in any state
prison or penitentiary in this state on a
conviction, of a felony or a misdemeanor,
whether male or female, where the term
or terms equal or equals one year, or who
has a term the maximum of which is fixed
by law, exclusive of any term which may
be imposed by the court or by statute as
an alternative to the payment of a fine, or
a term of life imprisonment, may earn for
himself or herself a commutation or dimi
nution of his or her sentence or sentences
as follows—namely, two months for the
first year, two. months for the second
year, four months each for the third and
fourth years, and five months for each
subsequent,year.
The rules governing allowance and dis
allowance of commutation are formulated
by the superintendent of prisons, and the
warden of each prison reports monthly to
the governor the names of such prisoners
as are entitled to be discharged in the fol
lowing months by reason of having earned
commutation for good conduct. The de
termination as to what prisoners are en
titled to be discharged is made by a board
consisting of the warden, the principal
keeper and the physician in each prison.
In cases where the board recommends the
withholding of the commutation provided
in the act they must report their acts to
the governor, giving their reasons there
for. The governor has power to increase
or decrease the term of commutation rec
ommended by the board, but he cannot in
crease it beyond the periods prescribed in
the statute.
One other provision of law might possi
bly further shorten any sentence imposed
on the assassin. Section 697 of the Penal
Code provides that the Judge, tn sentenc-
ing a convict, must so compute the sen
tence, allowing for the maximum commu
tation, so that the prisoner will be dis
charged in the month of April, May, June,
July, August, September or October. This
might make necessary the cutting of sev
eral months from the sentence, depending,
of course, upon the time of year when he
was convicted.
LONDON PRESS ON ANARCHY.
Papers Discuss Nothing But Condltoin
of the President.
LONDON, Sept. 10.—The papers again
occupy themselves fully with President
McKinley's state and the anarchist peril.
The Daily Telegraph says:
“President McKinley has a wonderful
constitution, as has indeed been proved
by the incidents of his Illness. The simple,
almost austere life he has led has helped
him at the crisis of his fate, while the
devotion and fortitude of his wife, with
whom, as the president has said, he has
often conquered both difficulty and dan
ger, have profoundly touched and inspir
ed the sympathetic pity of the world.”
The Daily Mall remarks:
"Both in this country and in the Uni
ted States public opinion has hitherto
been slow to recognize that the unwill
ingness to act harshly toward political
fugitives cannot be permitted to condone
the crimes of ruffians who preach sedition
and plot assassination.
“Even the latest anarchist outrage will
not have been in vain if it should deter
mine on both sides of the Atlantic a
boundary between the exercise of nation
al hospitality and harboring national
pests.”
The Daily News says:
"The cry of ‘Down with the anarchists,’
is being raised, as It was certain to be
raized in various quarters—European as
well as American—but it seems to us that
the worst possible way of going about
the business is to stir up public feeling on
behalf of a vendetta against anarchism in
general. The greater the pressure, the
more violent the resistance.”
The Dally Graphic writes:
"There is one object in discussing the
anarchist propaganda which has been
too much neglected in the United States
and the continent, namely to treat the
advocacy of crime as itself criminal.”
"In this country that principle is ac
cepted and acted upon. Probably If a
score or so of philosophic anarchists were
sent co cool their heels a year in prison
they would grow considerably more cau
tious in the use of their words and their
disciples would begin to learn something
of the same reticence In using revolvers."
The Morning Post believes that the
characteristic lesson of recent events is
that all governments are exposed to the
same danger, t'lt is not this or that par
ticular form of authority that is aimed
at, but all authority. Wherever the anar
chist sees authority or government he
strikes, no matter what its origin may
be. This is the lesson which is being
driven home in the United States by the
brutal attack on President McKinley.
“While It would appear that certain
measures may be taken by the United
States on its own account In order to
combat this new evil, it would be better
If all such measures were adppted in con
cert by the great powers after an Inter
national conference. There Is certainly
solidarity between all civilized nations
now that America is no longer outside
the circle of Its Influence.”

. WEATHER_FAVORABLE. ‘
Bureau’s Weekly Crop Summary la
Very Encouraging as to Cotton.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IL—Following is
the weather bureau’s weekly summary of
crop conditons:
The weather conditions of the week
ending September 9, 1901, have been gen
erally favorable for gathering and matur
ing late crops in nearly all sections east
of the Rocky mountains and on the Pa
cific slope. Rains retarded work in
Nebraska and South Dakota, while drouth
conditions continue in portions of Texas
and Oklahoma and rain is needed in the
central valleys. Conditions have been
particularly favorable in the south At
lantic and gulf districts, which have in
the four previous weeks experienced unu
sual and heavy precipitation. Reports
from the principal corn producing states
west of the Mississippi river indicate that
late corn is maturing rapidly and that
cutting is in active progress in all sec
tions, being nearly completed in some
localities.
In Missouri the crop is drying up. Gen
erally favorable reports are received from
states east of the Mississippi river, with
the exception of Illinois, where corn was
deteriorated slightly and its maturity
hastened by dry weather.
The weather of the past week has been
more favorable for cotton. This staple is
opening rapidly m all sections and pick
ing is in general progress. Complaints of
rust and shedding continue, however,
from the eastern and central districts of
the cotton belt, and the top crop is short
in Georgia and Florida, while reports of
damage by drouth are reported. Im
provement is noted in parts of Texas, the
late crop having been stopped growing
and blooming in.the drouth stricken dis
tricts, and is shedding and rusting badly
where rain fell.
Favorable reports regarding tobacco
continue from nearly all districts. Cut
ting and housing are in general progress
and a satisfactory crop is indicated al
though tobacco is light in North Caro
lina and Wisconsin and curing very badly
in Maryland.
No improvement in the condition of ap
ples is reported. This fruit is scarce in
nearly all sections and prospects for a
poor yield are Indicated, but in portions
of Arkansas and West Virginia a good
crop is generally promised. In Missouri
and Indiana apples continue dropping and
many trees are dying in the first named
state. Owing to dry soil conditions plow
ing has been retarded in Michigan. Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri.. Oklahoma and
portions of Kansas and the states of the
Ohio valley: elsewhere, this work has
progressed rapidly. Some wheat has been
sown in Missouri, but the soil is too dry
for germination and seeding has begun in
other districts where conditions were fa
vorable.”
DISPENSARY BILL FOR FLOYD.
Three Representatives Are Pledged
to Support It.
ROME. Ga., Sept. 10.—The full text of
a bill to be Introduced In the legislature
this fall providing for the establishing
of a dispensary in Floyd county has been
made public.
If the bld is passed by the legislature
an election for ratification by the people

pensary established in Rome, April
1902, provided the people sustain the leg
islature. It provides for the management
of the dispensary by three commissioners
and divides the earnings equally between
the county and city.
The bill is drawn by W. J. Neel, R. T.
Fouche, C. N. Featherstone, Halsted
Smith.
The three members of the legislature

bHI.
A bond election has been ordered by
the commissioners of Floyd county to be
held October 10. It is proposed to issue
$70,000 cf bonds and to do away with the
extra tax levy.
OUTLOOK FOR PORTO RICO.
Affairs of Island Are In Most Promis
ing Shape—Rapid Restoration.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—L. S. Rowe,
chairman of the Porto Rico law commis
sion, is now in New York, having arrived
yesterday from San Juan. Speaking of
the outlook on the island, he is quoted as
saying:
“With two such men as former Gov
ernor Allen and Judge Hunt to serve the
American people in the first colonial ex
periment, the success of ultimate out
come was to be foreseen. Under Governor
Allen’s direction the broad foundations
of civic rule were laid, but it remains for
Governor Hunt’s administration to work
out in detan the new system of govern
ment. The most important economic
need of the island At the present time is
the opening of the American market for
Porto Rican coffee.
• "One danger which has considerably dis
turbed the people is the- possibility of in
troducing Brazilian coffee into the island
and re-exporting it as the Porto Rican
products. The simplest remedy is a re-
Inactment of the provision of the Foraker
act, imposing a duty of five cents per
pound on all coffee coming into’ Porto
Rico. With the additional stimulus of a
protective duty against Brazilian coffee,
it is more than likely that the coming
year will witness the complete restoration
of those districts which were laid waste
by the hurricane and in which little or
nothing has been done since.”

SPAIN MAYTHREATENSULTAN.
LONDON, Sept. 11.—A dispatch to The
Times from Madrid says:
The time fixed i by Spain for the re
lease of the Spanish boy and girl cap
tured by Moorish tribes expires Septem
ber 12. It is stated that the sultan wishes
an extension, because the tribes are in
rebellion, which the government is not
disposed to grant, demanding besides
their release compensation in cash and
the punishment of the tribes. It is be
lieved that other powers support Spain's
claim and that failing satisfaction, Span
ish war vessels will be sent to Moorish

TOLD TO BURN CITI
BT MIBCHIST PAPER j
PATERSON CTld-.N SAVS RESIS*
TENSIAS SHOULD APPLY THE
TORCH TO TAMPA.
TAMPA. Fla., Sept. 11.—Copies of El
Despertar, published by the Paterson
group of anarchists and sent out from
New York, are being freely circulated
among the Reslstencia leaders here to
day. An article contained '.herein ad
vises that Reslstencia burn the town and
leave it as a means of revenge for de
portation of their leaders.
Another Reslstencia man mysteriously
disappeared from Tampa this morning.
It was another by the unfortunate name
of Rodrigues, who had just returned Jrom
Key West, where he had a conference
with the deported strike leaders.
Reslstencia has about $16,000 tied up in
banks in this city and Rodrigues came
back with power to draw the money and
use it for the benefit of the Reslstencia
organization. «
This morning he visited the bank and
tried to draw the money, but there was 4
some flaw in the signatures and he was
sent out to have them corrected.
While walking alor.g one of the most
prominent streets he' stlddezjv djgap
peared and no one has been ableTo
out where he is. No one save members
of Reslstencia have been looking for
Rodrigues, but they cannot locate him
and declare that he has been seized by
a vigilance committee and spirited away
as many others have been. 1
The money is still beyond the reach of w ■
the Reslstencia and there is great con
sternation in their ranks. A number of
the members of Reslstencia, becoming
tired of idleness, went to work at a fac
tory this morning and a crowd of organ
izers caught them and refused to allow
them to work. They indulged in a great
deal of talk and a few deputy sheriffs
were at once sent to the scene and dis
persed the crowd with a little forcible
argument. <
BIG REUNION oKVETERANS.
Elaborate Preparations For
Meeting at Macon Next Month.
Great preparations are being made for
the state reunion of Confederate veterans
which will be held in Macon In the lat
ter part of next October.
General Clement A. Evans, commander /
of the Georgia division, kaid today that
it was probable the attendance at this re
union would be the largest of any re
union the Confederate veterans of Geor
gia have ever held. General Evans said
he did not know how many would likely
attend the reunion, but he believed it
would not be less than 3,000.
The exact date for the reunion has not
yet been fixed, but it will likely be Octo
ber 24th and 25th.
General Evans has received letters
from all sections of the state saying that
the veterans would come' to the reunion.
Many camps will attend the festivities in
a body. The Atlanta camps will fio almost
to a man, as will also camps from Ameri
cus, Savannah, Columbus, Augusta and
other places. (
There will be special reunions of bri
gades. regiments, companies and other in
dividual commands.
At 11 o’clock of the first diy there will

THE~WAR ON ANARCHISTS.
Though two presidents were assassin
ated before the dastardly attack was
made upon President McKinley, In neith
er instance was the crime Instigated,
plotted and carried out by any organiza
tion or association formed for the pur
pose of striking down the head of the
government.
In this important respect the shooting
of President McKinley differs from the
assassinations of President Lincoln and
President Garfield.
The deed of Czolgosz is in a different
category from those of Booth and Guit
eau. The former is an avowed anarchist
and acted off the professed principles of
the infamous gang to which he belongs.
It is natural, therefore, that his deed
should arouse a general determination to
exterminate as far as possible the an
archist organizations which appear to
have become numerous and strong in
this country.
From many quarters, from high officials
and from unofficial citizens, from ths
pulpit and the press, from every voles
and organ of public opinion, comes the
demand that every effort be made to
crush the viper of anarchy which hisses
and strikes in our land.
The spirits of all honest men are up
and their determination to carry on a re- .
lentless war against every form and de
velopment of the deviltry which Czolgosz
represents has already been demonstrat
ed. Every creature who has been heard •
to approve the attempt upon the life of
tne president has been severely handled
by indignant citizens. A meeting of an
archists, assembled to rejoice- over the
Infamous act. was broken up. A United,.
States senator who is so depraved as to
proclaim his Indifference to the foul crime
of the fiend who struck down the presi
dent is held pilloried In the scorn of the
public.
It is a foregone conclusion that there
will be at the first opportunity legislation
both state and national against every
form of anarchist propaganda. The plea
that this is a land of free speech cannot
avail to protect or excuse the advocacy
of assassination or the instigation of as
saults upon the government.
Whoever shall dare hereafter to
seeds like those that took root in the
mind of Czolgosz will be made to suffer
for it. Wherever they may meet anarch- i
ists must be scattered and routed. Wher
ever they proclaim their damnable creed,
whether it be done by one qr they
must be taught effectively that their
ravings will not be tolerated here.
Some plan for the final expulsion of
every proved anarchist should be devized .
and enforced with all possible vigilance. “
Against the mad dog and the rattle
snake every man's hand is forever raised
and no man who will not aid in crushing J
out the spirit of anarchy is worthy to I
live in this country and enjoy its protec- I
tlon. Let the work be done thoroughly, 1
and mercilessly. Mercy in such a cause J
is not only weakness; it is itself almost ■
a crime. “ ■ I*'
