Freely Circulated.
THF. ATLANTA EXPOSITION HATTER.
In tlie Hotifte Consideration of the Legisla
tive, Executive and Judicial Bill Con
t liiues—Congressiona 1 Matters
and Washington News.
Washington, May 24. —The Atlanta
exposition subcommittee has taken no
action on the main question at issue.
Its members, however, did a good deal
of talking about the alleged sale of the
building at Chicago.
It was decided that Mr. Livingston,
its chairman, should communicate,
further with the secretary of the treas
ury. Mr. Livingston at once sent a
telegram to that official asking him if
the sale had been finally consummated,
and if it had not, to hold the matter in
abeyance until further representations
could be made to him.
There is a question as to whether the
sale has been finally closed. After the
proposition to purchase the bpilding
for use at Atlanta was broached, it ap
pears that the Chicago Salvage Com
pany made an offer of $3,272 for it. Mr.
O. O. Stealey, acting as the agent of
the department, accepted the offer, and
so notified Secretary Carlisle by tele
graph. The secretary w r as absent and
is still away.
It is claimed on behalf of the Salvage
Company that that Mr. Stealey’saction
finally closed matters. But Mr. Liv
ingston and other members of the ex
position committee are not satisfied
that such is the case.
Mr. Gnr man Spraka.
Mr. Kyle introduced a resolution in
the senate whici went over till today
declaring it as the sense of the senate
that the United States should not use
force for the purpose of restoring to
the throne the deposed queen of tlie
Sandwich islands or destroying the ex
isting government; that the provisional
government having been dnly recog
nized, the highest national interests re
quire that it shall pursue its own line
of policy and that foreign intervention
in the political affairs of those islands
would be regarded as acts unfriendly
to the government of the United States.
The tariff bill was taken up at 10:30
o’clock Wednesday, the pending ques
tion being paragraph 117, relative to
railway bars of iron or steel.
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, withdrew the
finance committee amendment and
moved to make the duty seven-twen
tieths of a cent per pound.
Mi-. Gorman then addressed the
senate.
Mr. Aldrich replied to Mr. Gorman
and was followed by Mr. Teller, who,
as a test question, moved to lay the
tariff hill on the table. The vote re
sulted—yes, 28; nays, 38.
The 25th page of the tariff bill has
been reached, leaving 200 more to be
gone over.
In tlic House.
The house at 12:30 again took up the
legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill, Mr. Dearmond's amend
ment to strike out the appropriation
for the civil service commission being
under consideration.
Mr. Anderson, of West Virginia, of
fered an amendment repealing the civil
service law and the acts amendatory
thereof. But it was ruled out of order.
The paragraph of the bill transfer
ring to the control of the civil service
commission clerks detailed for duty
therein went out on a conceded point
of order that it was new legislation.
A motion to strike out the paragraph
appropriating $6,000 for traveling and
other expenses of the commission was
lost—s 4to 40.
This closed the consideration of the
civil service schedules, the net result
being that the last paragraph only re
mains in the bill, the appropriation for
values for the commissioners and clerks
having been stricken out yesterday.
Notice was given that a separate vote
will be called for when the bill is re
ported to the house.
Taylor Is Confirmed.
The senate has confirmed the nomi
nation of Charles 11. J. Taylor, of Kan
sas, to be recorder of deeds in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The vote was 34 to
15. Taylor comes from Kansas City,
Ivan., and was appointed through the
influence of Senator Martin, of Kansas.
A bill has been introduced in the
house by Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, re
pealing the civil service law and all
amendments to it.
\r Counterfeit Five Dollar Note.
A circular just issued from the secret
service division of the treasury depart
ment announces the discovery of a

is tin president of the whole country,
knowing no north, no south, no east,
no west.
tieecvnbring the wisdom and patriot
ism of our president, and believing in
his fealty to the principles of our party,
we endorse his administration of the
i. dual government. While some of us
in differ from him in matters of
policy, we are agreed in the belief that
lie i impelled by motives of highest
_p ’ i -ii unand by an unself devotion

Goy. .Jones Commended,
c heartily commend and indorse
th present administration of the state
: ,-ernment, headed by Gov. Thomas
G Jones, who has so wisely and cour
ageously discharged his great trust,
and we commend his firm and impartial
and fearless •execution of the laws as
worthy of imitation by his successor.
We pledge to the people of Alabama
a continuance of the good government
of our state affairs inaugurated by the
election of George S. Houston in 1874.
The election law enacted at the last
session of our general assembly is in
accordance with the principles upon
which are based the laws regulating
elections in a large majority of the
states of this union, without regard to
party, and intended to obtain at the
ballot-box a full and free expression of
the popular will. \\ e believe in giving
it a fair trial, and should it fail to a
- the end which it was intended
to effect, we pledge ourselves to make
such changes and alterations therein
as may be necessary to effect that end.
We pledge our party to the mainte
nance of a system of free public schools
and to increase the appropriations for
that purpose whenever the financial
condition of the state will permit.
The p irty is pledged to continue its
efforts to remove all the evils of the
present convict syst in and to enact all
appropriate legislation to prevent its
working injustice to any class of our
people.
We extend a cordial invitation to all
voters of Alabama, who believe in the
] .neiples of Democracy and are in
favor of the maintenance of good gov
ernment, to unite with us in the elec
tion of the ticket nominated by this
convention.
The resolutions were adopted with

relating to Cleveland and Gov. Jones
were received with great applause.

. T mipkius stated that while there
w; a minority, of which he was one,
wh did not agree to the resolution, it
w; - not because of objection to its
declaration but from belief that the
ma ‘ -r sin-uld not come before the con
vent ion. but be left with the people.
Mr. Ivnox offered the following reso
i hiti n as a substitute:
re wived. That recognizing the ripe

tives of the Democratic and conserva
tive party of Alabama in convention
assembled, hereby cordially and heart
ily commend him to the people of this
state for re-election to the senate of the
United States.
This was the precipitation of the
most exciting scene of tlie whole con
vention.
Men were up in all parts of the house;
there was much noise in all quarters,
some were shouting for Morgan, others
for sustaining the committee, and still
others who favored tabling the resolu
tions and substitutes.
Col. Tompkins asked to be heard, and
after urgent appeal quiet was restored,
and he was heard. He moved on his
own motion, and not as from ’he com
mittee on resolutions, to amend the
resolution by inserting the words. “And
believing in his fealty to the principles
of democracy, though some of us may
differ with him on matters of detail,”
and said while he differed with Senator
Morgan, he believed in his fealty to the
Democratic party.
31r. Knox said, in view of that amend
ment, he would withdraw his substi

Col, Tompkins read the amendment.
