The general society of the Sons of

hold a special session in the old senate
chamber, where Washington resigned
his commission. Governor Brown lias
tendered the use of the senate cham
ber and the entire state house for a

The New York Herald’s Lima, Peru,

their resignations to the first vice

Dispatches from Pittsburg, Pa.,
state that eleven thousand strikers are
bivouacing at different places between
that city and Scottville and it is gener
ally believed numerous raids will be
made on the company stores. About
300 deputies are standing guard at the
different works. Their forces are scat
tered and should an attack be made by
one of the big mobs, it would be cer
tain death to offer resistauce.
Practically complete returns from
the Rhode Island election show that
Brown, republican, for governor, will
be elected by fully 4,500 plurality. It
has been a republican landslide aud
the democratic rout is complete. The
entire republican state ticket is elected
and the legislature is overwhelmingly
republican. Last year the democrats
controlled the house, having forty
representatives. This year they will
have only four.
A cable dispatch from Paris states
that another diplomatic scandal is ex
posed. It arises from an article in
the Figaro, attributed to M. Flourens,
ex-minister of foreign affairs. In this
article it was charged that the govern
ment, when M. Jules Ferry was pre
mier, and Baron de Courcel was
French ambassador to Germany, were
subservient to Prince Bismarck and
sought to form an alliance against
England.
Bismarck was eighty-one years of
age last Sunday, and tbe day was cele-
biated by Germans with great enthus
iasm. Every post brought letters and
gifts to Friedrichsruhe, the home of
Bismarck, and these came not only
from all parts of the empire, but from
wherever German is spoken. Twelve
ladies presented Bismarck with an il
luminated address upon which was a
heading reading: “To the Founder
of German Unity.”
A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: It
has been ascertained that Coxey and
a iarge number of his followers have
decided to take a trip through the
southern states as soon as his mission
in Washington is fulfilled. This de
cision was arrived at a day or so ago,
and the trip will bo made with a view
of converting as many southern people
as possible to the ideas advanced by
Coxey, as at present figured out by
Coxey.
Advices from Honolulu say that a

Cleveland advocating the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States, providing an annuity, to be
mutually agreed upon, shall be settled
upon Lilioukalani, the deposed queen.
This petition will be signed by leading
natives, members of the cabinet and
members of the native societies. It
has even been stated that Lilioukalani
will send a trusted agent to Washing

Mrs. Margaret Walker, aged 53, was
hanged at Liverpool for the murder of
her husband. The murder was one of
the most brutal and revolting in the
criminal nunals of Great Britain. She
killed him for paying attention to an
other woman. Mrs. tValk, r, who was
of masculine build, chained her hus
band to a bed-post in one of the upper
rooms in tlieir house, and for four
months administered to him daily a
beating, finally finishing him by bat
tering his brains out with a steel chain.
MONEY FOR CHEROKEES.
Their Claim Against the Government
Finally Settled.
E. T. Wilson & Co., bankers of New
York, have paid to the sub-treasury
$0,740,000 in final settlement of the
Cherokee Nation claim against the
government of the United States.
This money was placed to the credit of
the Cherokee Nation, the government
holding it for them, subject to their
order, as a trustee. It will ultimately
be paid over to the proper oflicials
of that nation when it will be divided
up per capita, each citizen of that na
tion receiving something less than
$300 as his or her share. This claim,
which has been the subject of consider
able litigation, arose out of the sale of
6,250,000 acres of land to the United
States by the Cherok e Nation, for
which the government paid only a
very small portion in cash.

The house committee on agriculture
has perfected the Hatch anti-option
bill and directed Mr. Hatch to report
it to the house favorably. The vote on
the bill was 12 to 2.
The house committee on banking
and currency agreed by a note of 9 to
4 to report favorably the Cooper bill
subjecting to state taxation of national
bank and United States treasury notes,
The president Tuesday sent to the
senate the following nominations: Jno.
B. Brawley, Pennsylvania, assistant
register of the treasury; George A.
Howard, Tennessee, auditor of the
treasury for the postoffice department.
The senate consumed two hours
again Wednesday in an effort to dis
pose of the nomination of Henry W.
Long, to be register of the Florida
land office. No voting quorum np
peared, and the senate adjourned with
the case still in statu quo.
A Washington special soys: The an
nouucement of the appointment of
Hon. Patrick Walsh as senator was
very much of a surprise to Georgians
at Washington. The appointment,
however, is generally approved. Mr.
Walsh is an able, patriotic Georgian,
who has labored earnestly throughout
his active career for the upbuilding of
the state’s prosperity.
It is stated upon good authority that
the Earl of Kimberley’s explanation of
the situation given to United States
Embassador Bayard, at an interview,
concerning the carrying out of the
findings of the Behring sea court of
arbitration, were entirely satisfactory.
A bill giving legal operations to the
provisions of the court’s findings will
be presented to parliament and every
effort be made to expedite its passage.
The senate committee on foreign re
lations met Monday morning at 10
o’clock and remained in session until
noon. Secretary Gresham was before
the committee much of the time, and
the Behring sea question and the bill
to regulate catching seals in that sea
and the Northern Pacific, were dis
cussed in detail. Morgan was directed
to report a bill to the senate with fav
orable recommendations and urge its
speedy passage.
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, intro
duced a resolution in the house Tues
day afternoon inquiring by what right
the railroads and telegraph lines have
been Reized in South Carolina. He
read in connection with the resolution
a telegram from the New York Re
corder, asking whero its correspond
ent was “at.” It seems that tho pa
per’s correspondent at Darlington
could uot get his special off to the pa
per, the telegraph office having been
seized by the governor.
The senate spent an hour and a half
Tuesday afternoon in a fruitless dis
cussion in executive session over the
nomination of Henry W. Long to be
register of the Florida land . office,
against whom Mr. Call is making a
fight. In this contest Mr. Call has the
support of the majority of the repub
licans, although Senator Dolph and
Senator Platt are against him. The
effort was made at the session to refer
the nomination back to the committee,
but this was opposed by Mr. Call and
his friends. No voting quorum being
present, final action was not taken.
Senator Gordon states that when the
sundry civil appropriation bill is taken
np in the senate he will offer an
amendment making an appropriation
for the construction of the federal
prisons provided for several years ago
but for which no appropriation has
ever been made. He further says that
as Secretary Hoke Smith is one of the
two members of the board to select a
site, he feels certain Atlanta will get
the southern prison. Augusta and
Dalton are, however, making hot con
tests for it. With Pat Walsh in the
senate, Augusta will stand a splendid
show, too.
The argument in the AYntson-Black
contested election case was heard by
the committee on elections Thursday.
Judge Cross opened the argument for
Watson, Major Black followed for
himself and John T. West closed for
Watson. Messrs. Gross and West
charged frauds of all kinds in Au
gusta. Their charges were general,
being principally that more votes were
polled in Richmond county thau
there were voters in the county.
Major Black held that they showed
no specific frauds and that there was
no evidence to show that he was not
fairly elected. The arguments were
brief. Mr. West, in closing, held that
Mr. Black was not elected; whether
the committee decided Watson was
elected or not, it should decide Black
was not elected. The arguments were
all delivered in good humor.
KILLED THE BLAND BILL.

The luqiiest Over the Dead Dispcnsarj
Constables.
The latest advices from Darlington
state that tho situation is entirely sat
isfactory. The inquest over the dead
constables was conducted at the rail
road station, which is under heavy
guard. The constables who were in
tho affray all testified and were taken
back to Columbia. The evidence will
not be given out until the verdict of
the jury is rendered.
General Richbourg estimates the
cost of the expedition at $25,000. A
shortage has been discovered in the
dispensary at Florence. Everything
has been amicably settled, however,
and the entire trouble is thought to be
ut an end.
THE “WAR” IS OVER.
A special from Columbia says: The
mimic war into which Governor Till
man’s proclamation plunged the state
of South Carolina, seems to have
practically come to an end. Three
men were killed and four others
wounded during the five days’ “insur
rection.” The declaration and en
forcement of martial law in the coun
ties of Darlington and Florence, have
cost the state $20,000 in actual expen
ditures, and will entail the more ex
pensive legacy of a thorough reorgan
ization of the militia on difficult aud
novel lines.

Twenty-Eight Totes Were Seeded to
Carry it Through.
The house voted on tbe question of
passing the seigniorage bill over the
president’s veto Wednesday afternoon.
The vote stood 144 to 114—not two-
thirds, and the seigniorage bill is now
dead.
An nnalysis of the vote, however,
shows that eight more than two-thirds
of the democrats voted to pass the
bill over tho veto. With the republi
cans out it would have passed. The
144 votes iu the affirmative were com
posed of 118 democrats, eighteen re
publicans and eight populists.
The negative vote showed fifty-fire
democrats and fifty-nine republicans.
Speaker Crisp himself voted aye.
When he did there was applause from
the majority of democrat.
The fight was unexpectedly launched
upon the house. It was short and
quick, but it was wildly exciting.
When the housi met, a quorum of
democrats was present, and after seve
ral roll calls Mr. English, of Califor
nia, was seated. Then Mr. Bland
called up the seigniorage bill and
moved its passage over the president’s
veto. Immediately there was great
excitement on the floor. As the clerk
read the bill Mr. Bland sat silently
chewing his wad of tobacco.
Mr. Tracy, of New York, rushed to
General Sickles to confer with him.
Tom Reed, Burrows, Boutelle and
Cannon conferred. As soon as the
reading was over General Sickles cried
out: “Mr. Speaker, I raise the ques
tion of consideration.” He tried to
argue his point and at the same time
everybody else in the house tried to
talk.
Finally the speaker overruled the
question of consideration on the ground
thnt the constitution provided that a
bill vetoed by tho president should be
returned to the house in which it orig
inated, and that when returned such
house should immediately proceed to
consider it. The house could, by a
vote, postpone, but the question of
consideration was uot in order.
When the speaker completed his
ruling Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, sug
gested in his usual sarcastic style that
he would like to have additional rea
sons. “As the chair has stated be
fore,” responded Speaker Crisp, “when
the chair makes a ruling and gives
reasons it holds that no gentleman has
the right to ask for any other and fur
ther reasons than those stated.”
“That is one of the later innovations
of the chair,” facetiously remarked
Boutelle.
“That is one of the rulings which
has been made to resent what the chair
regards as impertinence,” quickly re
plied the speaker in firm and com
manding tones. Boutelle dropped in
his chair amidst applause. Then there
were loud cries of “Vote, vote,” on
the democratic side.
Mr. Bland cried amid the furor that
he was willing for an immediate vote.
The speaker put the question quickly
and declared that uuder the constitu
tion an aye and nay vote was required
and at once the clerk began the roll
call. The result of the vote was ayes,
144; nays, 114. Recapitulation: Ayes
—democrats 118, republic, ns 18, pop
ulists 8. Noes—eastern aud middle
state democrats 48, southern democrats

THE RISE IN SILVER.
Neither England or America Can Hold
the White Metal Down.
A Washington special says: Silver
is bobbing up again all over the world
with a buoyancy that clearly demon
strates that it cannot be held beneath
the surface. Neither England’s action
nor the acts of the present administra
tion of the United States government
can hold the white metal down. At
last the silver standard nations of the
American continent are rising up to
protest and to force England to recog
nize silver as it has been recognized
in the past. The Central and South
American republics are refusing to pay
interest on their bonds held in Eng
land, iu gold, when England is at
tempting to make silver a worthless
metal.
DOCTORS MEET.
The International Medical Conference
Assembles in Rome.
The doctors of the world assembled
in Rome, Italy, in international con
ference. These great gatherings of the
medioal and scientific men of the world
are held triennially, but, owing to va-.
rious unforeseen circumstances this
conference was postponed to the pres
ent date from last September. The
men who speak here represent every
phase of the medical and scientific
world. The official list of Americans
who will attend comprises almost two
hundred names—hardly equal to the
great attendance in Berlin in 1890.
MILITARY CALLED OFF.

ing in the case, furnished, it. He an
nounced that if any newspaper com
mented on the evidence he would im
mediately bar all reporters from the
courtroom. Plain statements as to
the evidence and rulings might be
furnished, but the suggestion of a
comment would be treated as contempt
of court.

Royal, the Superior
Baking Powder.
66 Old Capitol Building,
Atlanta, Ga., March i, 1893.
I have purchased samples of the Royal and other
principal baking powders sold in this city in the
open market, and analyzed the same. I find the
Royal to contain leavening gas in greater quantity
than 1 have found in any other baking powder I
have examined. This powder is composed ot
wholesome and unobjectionable ingredients and is
free from adulteration.
JNO. M. McCANDLESS,
Chemist Atlanta Board of Health.
In every receipt calling for baking powder,
use the Royal. It will make the food lighter,
sweeter, of finer flavor, more digestible and
wholesome.
“We recommend the Royal Baking Powder
as superior to all others.”— United Cooks and
Pastry Cooks' Association of the United States.
Ducks Wiiliont Water.
It is a mistaken idea that ducks can
not be raised without some body of
water for them to sport iu. Ducks
have a natural fondness for water, of
course, and will take to it whenever
the opportunity is presented, but they
can be successfully raised with no
more water than is required to drink.
This is evidenced by the fact that
thousands upon thousands are thus
raised every year. It has been proved
that young ducks arc much less liable
to disease when raised in dry, warm
quarters thau when allowed to run at
large and spend much time in the wa
ter. A good way to add ducks to your
poultry flock is to px-ocure the eggs
and hatch them xmder hens.— Western
Plowman.
A few years ago, during the discus
sion of the clauses of a bill before
tbe house of commons, a member mov
ed to omit all the words in a clause af
ter the word “which,” and this was
carried without anyone having moved
an addition. The result was that one
clause of the bill ended with the word
“which,” and the discovery of its
meaning naturally passed the wit of
man.—London Queen.

The lady whose portrait heads this article
is Mrs. Mary F. Coveil, of Scotland, Bon
Homme Cq_,'S. Dak. She writes to Dr. R.
V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y,, as follows: “ I was sick two
years with 1 failing of the womb ’ and leucor-
rhcea previous to taking your medicines. I
took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, and was entirely cured of both in
six months; it is four years this month,
since I was entirely well of both those dis
eases and have never had any signs of their ap
pearance since and I am satisfied the ' Favor
ite Prescription ’ saved mv life, for I could
hardly walk around when I commenced
taking that medicine and I think it is a God’s
blessing to me that I took it.
I was pronounced incurable by the best
doctors here in the West. I gave up all
hopes and made up my mind that I was to
be taken away from my husband and baby
of two years old. I was sick all of the time
—could not eat anything at ail. In one week,
after beginning the use of the 1 Favorite Pre
scription’ my stomach was so much better
that I could eat anything : I could see that I
was gaining all over, and my husband then
went and got me six bottles ; I took three of
them and my stomach did not bother me any
more.
We sent to you and got the People's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, and found
my case described just as I was: we did
what the book told us, in every way : in one
month’s time I could see I was much better
than I had been ; we still kept on just as the
book told us, and in three months I stopped
taking medicine, and to-day, I can proudly
say I am a well women, yes, am well, strong
and healthy.
When I began to take your medicine rnv
face was poor and eyes looked dead. I could
not enjoy myself anywhere, I was tired and
sick all the'time. I could hardly do my
house-work, but now I do that and tend a
big garden, help my husband and take in
sewing.”
The following will prove interesting to
feeble women generally, and especially so to
those about to become mothers. Mrs. Dora
A. Guthrie, of Oakley, Overton Co., Tenn.,
writes : “ I never can thank you enough for
what your treatment has done for me ; I am
stronger now than I have been for six years.
When I began your treatment I was not able
to do anything. I could not stand on my feet
long enough to wash my dishes without suf
fering almost death : now I do all my house
work, washing, cooking, sewing and every
thing for my family of eight. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is the best medicine to
take before confinement that can be found ;
or at least it proved so with me. I never
suffered so littlo with any of my children as
I did with my last and she is the healthiest
we have. I recommend your medicines to all
of my neighbors and especially ‘Favorite
Prescription’ to all women who are suffering.
Have induced several to try -it, and it has
proved good for them.” Yours truly,
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a pos
itive cure for the most complicated and
obstinate leucorrhea, excessive flowing,
painful menstruation, unnatural suppres
sions and irregularities, prolapsus, or falling
of the womb, weak back, “female weakness,
anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sen
sations, chronic congestion, inflammation and
ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain j
and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied I
with “internal heat.”
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a ,
scientific medicine, carefully compounded by
an experienced and skillful physician, and .
adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It ;
is purely vegetable in its composition and
perfectly harmless in its effects in any condi- •
tion of the system. For morning sickness or ]
nausea, due to pregnancy, weak stomach, in- ]
digestion, dyspepsia and kindred symptoms,
its use will prove very beneficial.

eases,” (168 pages, illustrated), giving sue- j
cessful means of home treaftnent, can be had i

cts., in one cent stamps, to pay postage, to I
