2 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 IL-While it was pretty generally known from the fires having been withdrawn that no attempt would be made this morning to start the tube mill, nevertheless a crowd of the strikers was out before 7 o’clock guard s- ing the approach to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. TO MAKE A “TOUCH.” 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 the war.” 1 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 facilities in the transportation and deliv ery of freight without unjust discrimina tion in favor of or against any; and 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 pany whose tracks are of the same gauge, afford under substantially similar circum stances equal facilities for the interchange of freight, and upon like terms and con ditions. whether in carload lots or less, without discrimination in favor of or against any; and wherever special facili ties are afforded to one such railroad com pany. In the Interchange and delivery of freight, either to consignees or authorized by this commission or otherwise, such company shall be bound to afford to all other connecting lines under like and sub stantially similar circumstances, like fa cilities upon like terms and rates. “This circular shall be effective on and after June 28, ISOL T.

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. arralgnedTorTreason. England’s Farce to Frighten Boera Has i First Rehearsal. 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 been in England fourteen months as a pa roled prisoner of war, that warrants should be issued in the Transvaal because of acts committed tn England, and he asked how could a gentleman not an English subject be charged with high treason. The case was adjourned to await the arrival of papers from the tribunal. PROTEST AGAINST JUG TRADE. Prohibition Towns In Mlsslslppl Ask For Relief. JACKSON. Miss.. Sept. 11.-The jug trade in north Mississippi is on the in crease, and whisky is being shipped by the saloon men to dry counties in large quantities. These' jugs, filled with the essence of crime, have come into some of the small towns in such large numbers that the prohibitionists have written a letter to the attorney general of the state asking for relief, but that official has told them that tney must go to the grand jury for a remedy, as such was out of his line of business.

PEOPLE ANO PRESS ON WELLINGTON NEWSPAPERS AND PUBLIC MEN CONTINUE TO EXPRESS CON- DEMNATION OF SENATOR. LEAVE HIM TO MARYLAND, SAYS CONGRESSMAN HOWARD. ELBERTON, Ga., Sept. 10, 1901. To The Atlanta Journal. Telegram received here. The sentiments Imputed to Senator Wellington relative to the shooting of President McKinley are such as spring from hatred and revenge. True manliness could not engender them nor self respect permit their utterance, but to discipline a senator in decency by ex pulsion from the senate would be a ruder shock to the rights of his state than his private conduct possibly could be to the dignity or honor of the senate or the finer sensibilities of the American people. The adequate reproof of this outrage on decency may be safely left to Maryland. Precedents which have the force of law should be made with the calm deliberation characteristic of wise laws. WM. M. HOWARD. WHO CAN DcCRY SOUTH’S PATRIOTISM? LITTLE SWITZERLAND, Atlanta, Sept. 10, 1901. To The Atlanta Journal. Accept my heartiest congratulations for the wise method you have adopted to commute the opinions of the southern press in consideration of .he proposition to expel Senator Wellington. In so doing you have promoted a sentiment to extol southern liberality that no doubt would have otherwise slumbered through the next quarter of a century. Who now can say the south is indifferent to American ism? Very respectfully. THOMAS A. HAIRSTON. EVERYBODY EXPECTED IT, SAYS WASHINGTON STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 10, To The Atlanta Journal. The Evening Star says editorially: "Sen ator Wellington said about what every one who knows him might have expected him to say. His faculty for blundering is apparently unimpaired. NEW YORK POLICEMAN | IN WELLINGTON’S CLASS. KINGSTON, N. Y., Sept. IL—Mayor Phinney has suspended Policeman Fred erick Heppner for his remarks regarding the attempted assassination of President McKinley. Heppner said it was a pity some more people were not shot who in sisted on making rich people richer and poor people poorer, and that the presi dent’s death would equalize wealth. 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 it 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. secyTgagetakes action. WASHINGTON, Sept. IL—Secretary of Treasury Gage yesterday sent the follow ing telegram to F. D. Tappan, chairman of the Clearing House association, New York: "Recognizing the unavoidable influence upon general business affairs of a con tinued absorption into the public treas 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 depositories." 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 than the new 2s. Notice is issued that he will receive and consider proposals for the sale to the 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 telegraph not later than Thursday, the 12th instant. Any bonds accepted to be promptly delivered at the United States treasury in New York or to the treasury department at Washington.

H. O. W. X 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.” A For k Gold FIM UI.A.L 'w American WaiCn NlekelJew- <LyJS eled move- ment.

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.

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.” PULTRY JUDGES ANNOUNCED.

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.

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*' A Useful Suggestion.
