THE SUGAR QUESTION
Btill Agitates the Louisiana Pecpla
and the Authorities
THE ATLANTA BULL FIGHT QUESTION.
lecretary Carlisle Too Mach Interviewed.
Internal Revenues Three Million
Less Than In 1894-Orders to
Repay the Income Taxes.
Washington, D. C., July 26.—Senator
Blanchard and Senator Caffrey, and
Representative Meyers, of Louisiana,
had an extended conference with At
torney General Harmon this morning
on the local aspect of the causes of
the sugar bounty claims now pending
before Comptroller Bowler of the treas
ury department. It is said that the
number of claims to sugar bounty ag
gregating only about HO while the
amount of the claims is 85,000,000.
Blanchard and Caffrey will go to Gray
Cables to discuss the subject with the
president. The hearing of the case is
set for August 7, and unless Comptrol
ler Bowler announces his decision, no
one, of course, knows what it will be,
but the impression is strong in official
circles that the whole question of the
payment of these bounty claims will
find its way into the courts for settle
ment. These claims should not be con
fused with the beet sugar claims,
amounting to only s’B,ooo although it
was upon the payment of the latter
that Mr. Bowler originally based his
determination to hear argument.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin was de
cided, and has so informed \V. H. Bal
lou. of New York, Vice President of the
Humane Society, that, he is unable to
perceive that the importation of bulls
for the purpose indicated in his recent
letter of protest (exhibition *of
bulls fighting at the Atlanta Exposi
tion) comes within the letter or spirit of
the prohibition in Section 10, of the
Act of Congress of August 28, 1894. “If
the exhibition of bull fighting is prohi
bited by the laws of the state of Geor
gia,” says Mr. Hamlin, "as is claimed,
then it is presumed that the authori
ties of the state will prevent it, but the
subject does not appear to come within
the jurisdiction of the department.”.
Commissioner General Stump has also
sent a letter to Mr. Ballou in reference
to the admission into the United States
of torreadors from Mexico to engage in
hull fighting at Atlanta. Mr. Ballou
had protested against admitting them,
as it was a violation of the immigration ;
and contract labor laws. Mr. Stump ]
has called Mr. Ballou's attention to the
joint resolution of congress providing
certain regulations for the government
of the Exposition, and stated that un
der the terms of the joint resolution
the department could interpose no ob
stacle to the admission of the tor
readors.
Secretary Carlisle is very much pro
voked at the appearance in the Rich
mond (Va.) State of what purports to
be an interview with him in which he
is reported to have talked freely on po
litical matters and declares among
other things, that President Cleveland
would not be “a willing candidate” for
a third term, and that he (the secreta
ry) “did not want” the nomination.
"Things are coming to a pretty pass,”
said an official yesterday, who is close
to Secretary Carlise, “when the secre
tary cannot talk to one of his own
trusted subordinates without having it
appear in the newspapers in garbled
form.”
It is stated that Mr. Ryan took no
notes and wrote two days afterwards
from his recollection and impression of
what Secretary Carlisle said, but the
published statement puts the latter’s
words in quotation marks.
A preliminary report of the opera
tions of the internal revenue bureau
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895,
was submitted by Commissioner Miller
to Secretary Carlisle yesterday. It
shows the receipts from all sources to
have been $148,295,978, which were less
by $3,922,472 than those of the previous
year. The expenditures will approxi
mate $4,004,254, making the gross per
centage of cost of collection 2.54 of the
expenditures. However, $10,392 was
on account of the sugar bounty and
$88,879 on account of the income tax.
Deducting these sums from the gross
amount, the net per cent, of the cost
of collection is shown to be 2.77 agamst
2.70 last year. The total payments of
income tax was not quite so iarge as
estimates previously furnished, being
but $77,131. which the secretary order
ed to be refunded.

of a quartette of negroes who broke
jail at Fernandina Monday, were sur
prised late last night in the scrub of

Jacksonville, Fla... July 26— Special,
to Times-Union from Brooksville, Fla.,
says: “D. J. Whidden and Crockett
Whidden, were assassinated last night
at their Cedar camp in the woods near
here by a band of masked men. A
dozen guns were fired at close range
and both men were riddled. What in
duced the killing is not known. It is
thought to be an another chapter of
the old Whidden-Whitehurst feud,
which has already cost many lives.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 20.—Special

Highsmith refused, whereupon Lewis
shot him through the heart and then
shot his nephew through the heart.
Lewis fled to the woods, vowing he
would not be taken alive.
COGGESHALL BEATEN.
Will He Run h an Independent Candi
date for Congress?
Utica, N. Y., July 26. —The action of
the republican county committe in de
ciding to hold the caucuses on August
10 presages the defept of Senator
Coggeshall. He and his friends were
present, and they sought to have the
caucuses held two weeks late. Thfe
proposition to postpone was defeated |
by a vote of 25 to 14,
This vote indicates the strength of j
the opposition to Coggeshall. In the
senatorial convention his strength will
be even less than in the county commit
tee. There can be no doubt now of
nomination of Fred Wheeler Deerfield
for senator. Coggeshall privately ad
mits his defeat, but he will keep up
the fight until the convention signi
fies the will of the republicans of the
district,
No one here believes that Goggeshall
will make good his threat to run as an
independent candidate with a labor in
dorsement. All along that threat has
been looked upon as a sort of club de
signed to intimidate republicans. If
that was the discredited senator’s in
tention, he has failed signally.
A FAMILY ROW.
One Brother Attacks Another With Mur
der in His Heart.
Charlotte, N. C., July 26.—News of
a bad cutting scrape comes from
Blacksburg, 8. C. Two brothers, Bob

for a year. They have threatened at
times to kill each other, and their fath- I
er predicted that they would do so. j
Last week, Hoge's wife threw some hot
water on Bob’s dog. Bob got his razor,
and went to the field where his brother
was at work, swearing before leaving
the house that he would kill him. He
attacked his brother in the field and
cut him in several places in the side.
He then returned, took his wife to her
people and left. He has not been seen
since.
A Veteran’s Leg Broken.
Monroe, N. C., July 26.—News reach
ed here yesterday that D. C. Robinson,
Sr., who lives near Indian Trail, met
with a serious accident about 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning. He was driving
along in his wagon, with his feet hang

HOKE SMITH SPAEES
Makes the Second of His Series of
Three Speeches.
GIVEN A BIG OVATION AT COLUMBUS.
Large Crowds Gather to Hear Him Dis
cusd the Financial Questions, Which
He Says Will Right
Themselves.
Columbus, Ga., July 25. —Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, was
the guest of the democratic executive
committee in Muscogee county yester
day and received a regular ovation
from the people of Columbus.
A public reception was held at the
Rankin house, which was attended by
many people. Hundreds came from
across the river from Phoenix City and
Girard, and the secretary was very cor
dially greeted and made a favorable
impression on those who called upon
him. In the afternoon he was given a
drive around the city. Last night the
opera house was packed to its utmost
capacity to hear his great speech in ad
vocacy of a sound currency.
Hundreds came in on the trains from
the neighboring towns in Georgia and
Alabama. On the stage were oyer fifty
of the representative men of the city
and county, including many prominent
mechanics and noted workingmen.
Secretary Smith was eloquently intro
duced by Lionel C. Levy, Esq., a lead
ing lawyer of this city, and was receiv
ed with hearty applause.
Referring to the panic of 1893, the
secretary said that the demand notes,
called greenbacks had been presented
during the panic at the treasury for
payment. The government did not
have the money then and it was neces
sary for it to borrow the money. This
it did by issuing bonds. The secretary
stated that he was satisfied no cause of
uneasiness should exist on account of
the very small demand made upon the
treasury last week for the payment of
additional demand notes, he was confi
dent that this was the result of a
brokers fight in New Y r ork and busi
ness men might feel assured that no
rush would be made upon the treasury
to the extent to cause any trouble by
the demand notes unpaid.
He called attention to the fact that
the national democratic platform of
1870 on which Tilden and Hendricks
were nominated, denounced the failure
of the republicans party to make good
the promise of the legal tender notes
(demand notes) and declared that their
non-payment, was regarded as a plight
of faith of the nation.
He declared that every democratic
platform recognized the principle that
the government must absolutely main
tain it’s credit, and meet these demand
notes whenever thev were presented
and the present administration simply
did what was absolutely necessary and
what was thoroughly democratic when
it borrowed money to pay these de
mand notes.
He declared that nothing could help
our monetary system more than to pay
off all of these demand notes, making
however at the same time some provis
ion for an increase of currency to take
their place. He said that if this were
done, it would be perfectly easy to coin
the silver buillion in the treasury and
and with it pay off the $146,000,000 of
treasury notes and also use the seignor
age of fifty odd millions from the coin
age of this silver.
He showed that by such a course and
by using the funds in the treasury now
maintained as gold reserve, the burden
would not be heavy upon the treasury
and that it would end for ever all
raids upon the treasury for gold dis
turbances consequent thereto.
He then discusses the extent to
which bills of credit are used in our
business dealings and showed that 95
per cent, of exchanges of property were
based upon checks, bills of exchange
and bills of credit and that money con
sisting of gold, silver, and paper were
only used to the extent of 5 per cent,
of the exchange.
He urged that that system of ex
change was best which was least ex
pensive and that anything which shook
the credit of business throughout the
country would not only drive out of
circulation money consisting of gold,
silver and paper but would put out of
use credit checks and bills of exchange.
The secretary called attention to the
report of the senate committee, saying
that the average pay to laborers had
increased 10 per cent, since 1873. He
stated that a prominent railroad presi
dent interested in a Mexican railroad
declared to him a few days ago that
his reason for favoring free and unlim
ited coinage of silver was due to the
fact that in Mexico his railroad hands
received in Mexican dollars about the
same number of dollars that liehad to
pay for similar work in the United
States; that the Mexican dollar was
worth only half as much as the dollar
in the United States and, therefore, by
free silver, he was enabled to get his
labor for half what it would cost in
the United States. This same railroad
president added that by the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 in
the United States, the pay to employees
in factories and on the railroads, while
it would amount in dollars to as much
as it does now, it would really be re
duced one half, because the dollar
would only be worth half as much, and
that this would be a great benefit, and
was necessary in the interests of stock
holders of such interprises.
When asked why the companies did
not at once reduce the wages if it was
thought they were too high, the rail
road president replied: “The labor
unions are too strong to let us reduce
the pay in dollars, but it would take a
long time to force up the pay in the
new cheap dollar to twice as many dol
lars as they now get.” This declara
tion made a profound impression on the
vast house, hundreds of whom were
workingmen, and the applause was
loud and continuous.
The secretary leaves today for Cor
dele. where he speaks Saturday morn,
mg.
THE INSURGENTS* DAY.
A Grrat Battle 1* Reported in Which the
Spaniards are Defeated.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 20. —A ea
blegram from Key West, Fla., to the
Times Union says: A private letter re
ceived in this city last night per
steamer Mascotte from Havana, con
firms the report of Martinez Compos’
defeat at the battle of Valenzuela. Of
the eighteen hundred Spanish troops
that went into battle, only 800 escaped
to Bayamo, where they are surrounded
by six thousand Cubans under Maceo
Masso, Quintin, Bandera and Gaulet.
The insurgents* loss at this battle was
two hundred and eighty kiUed, and
wounded. Martinez Compos is now at
Bayamo seriously wounded, and sur
rounded by insurgents. Troops are
being sent from all parts of the Island
to relieve Martinez Campos. After the
fall of Santocildes, Martinez Campos
took command and ordered all horses
and mules belonging to the officers
killed to barricade themselves with and
resist the terrible charges of the Cuban
cavalry at Machete, 8,000 strong. Three
steamers with troops have left Santiago
de Cuba for Manzanillo to reinforce
Campos and bring him out.
The greatest excitement exists in
Santiago. General La Chambre has
been sent to “Spain.
Maximo Gomez, on hearing of the
battle, immediately left to join Macoe.
The greatest excitement exists in Ha
van na. The people are terrorized. The
government is trying to suppress all
details of this great battle, but it is
known all through the Island. The
death of Amarador Guerra is not offi
cially confirmed.

BASEBALLBY LIGHTS
Is the New Invention That Is to
Attract the Public.
GAME REPRODUCED BY ELECTRICITY.
The Lover* of That Sport May Now Sit
In a Comfortable Theatre and Wit
ness a Game Miles Away.—
What Next !
New York, July 26. —A. M. Palmer
yesterday signed contracts with C. B.
Thomas and Joseph Jefferson for a
novel entertainment at Palmer’s Thea
tre for three weeks, commencing Mon
day afternoon, July 29. It is called
“Automatic Baseball by Electricity,”
and is the invention of Frank Chap
man, who is associated with Joseph
Jefferson's company. He has been
since the first of May perfecting the
invention, and has had the encourage
ment and financial backing of the
great comedian’s three sons, who are
shrewd Ynen of business.
The stage is set to represent a base
ball field, gently sloping up from the
footlights, so as to afford the spectator
a perfect view. The back drop pictures
the Polo Grounds, and every material
feature of a ball field is reproduced.
The players are represented by figures
two feet high, dressed in the regulation
ball costume, and stationed in the
proper place on the diamond. The
fielders are in position and the pitcher
is in the box, the catcher stands well
back, the batter is at the home plate
and the umpire is in his proper station.
Then every feature of the game be
tween the New York team and the
opposing League club is faithfully pro
trayed, instantaneously, by electricity.
The batter hits the ball and runs to
first base; every detail of the fielding
is shown with exactness. If the ball is
caught by the centre fielder that play
is produced by a minature player on
the mimic diamond. If the fielder
muffs the ball the spectator sees him
make the error. The direction in
which the Ball i§ hit is shown, and the
man in the orchestra chair knows at
once whether it is foul or fair. A bunt
is shown, and a grounder is made as
apparent as a fly ball. Every little de
tail of the game is shown, such as the
catcher moving up behind the plate on
two strikes, or the umpire calling in a
base runner from the field after a close
decision, and a daring base runner
sliding to the plate. Even the players’
bench is shown with its substitutes in
uniform waiting to be called upon.
While the New York club is away
from home the game will be played
electrically at Palmer’s Theatre every
afternoon, while the real contest is in
progress in another city. The games
on the home grounds will be reproduc
ed in every minute detail in the even
ings. The first game will be played at
Palmer’s Theatre Monday afternoon,
July 29.

Whereas, J. C. Pittman, administrator of
Sarah F. Turner, represents to the court in his
petition duly filed and entered on record, that
he lias fully administered Sarah F. Turner’s
estate, this is, therefore, to cite ail persons
concerned, heirs and creditors, to show cause,
if any they can, why said administrator should
not be discharged from his administration and
receive letters of dismission, on the Ist Mon
day in October, 1895.

Dr. Porter, of Kentucky, Tells How i
was Done.
(From the Mt. Sterling, Ky., daze lie.)
. In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky
lives Dr. C. H. Porter, who for 47 years ha:
ministered to the sick in the counties ol
Rowan and Morgan, and has during that time
suffered more than many of the patients on
whom he called. He was at last cured, and
his cure was so startling and miraculous that
it was soon the talk of the mountains, and
finally reached the Bluegrass. A reporter of
the Gazette concluded to investigate in tin
interest of suffering humanity, and to hit
question the doctor replied:
“Twenty years ago, while living in Mor
gan county and practicing my profession, I
had a terrible nervous shock that omulete
ly prostrated me, aal from that tin: uitil
a few ramths ago I suffered untold ag.inv
and in fact never knew a well day. I tried
everything in the way of medicine that I
knew and consulte l other physicians f>r
miles around, but I found n> relief, ail 1
resigned myself to the inevitable and uwait
ed the end. A few rn ieths ago mysm saw
an account in your p tier of a newmilicine
called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills aud wind
ne to try it. I told him th ;y w >:i I I > m ■
no good, but after taking a fnv’dojes I felt
letter, and again hope revive i in my breast.
I continued taking the pills, an l continued
fo improve, and now I believe I have fin ally
recovered. That is about all of the st >ry.
I believe Pink Pills saved my life, and 1
never fail to recommend them in my prac
tice. In fact, I can tell you of a man that
youAvill pass on your road home who has
been almost completely cured of rheum atisn
after years of suffering, Mr. S. G. Bailey
is his name and you can stop and see him.”
After thanking Dr. Porter the Gazette man
started for Mr. Bailey’s residence. He was
found on his firm cutting some trees down.
In reply to our inquiry, ’lr. Bailey said:
“ Yes, Dr. Porter told you tne truth. [ suf
fered for vear.s with rheumatism, and was
only a >le to leave my room in good weather,
and then was not able to do any work. I was
urged by D \ Porter to try Pink Pills, for
several weeks I positively refused. He finally
overcame my prejudice, however, and I am
glad of it, for you can see yourself what Pink
Pills have done for me. Come* to the house,
and I will show you my crutch and cane
which Pink Pills have enabled ine to lay
aside. I have also been giving these pills to
a neighbor’s child, which has scrofula, and it
is improving right along.” The address of
all the gentlemen referred to is Elliottsville,
Rowan County, Kentucky, and anyone can
have these statements verified by writing to
them.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may he
had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50c. per
box, or six boxes for $2.50.
