had grown from an impulsive child into
a tall, beautiful, self-poised woman, who
presided over the ramifications of the

well-balanced judgment. And Ninette

to quiet the disturbance and arrest the

ately adjourned.
In the house, Friday, the car coupler

appropriation for Savannah harbor. The

house was reinserted in bill, it
will go through the senate in this way,
though there is an amendment pro¬
viding that not more than be three-fourths expended
of the appropriation shall

A careful canvass of the members of
the senate uppears to indicate that the
Hawaiian treaty will be ratified with
several votes more than the necessary
two-thirds to spare. It is understood
that members of the foreign affairs com-
mi t.-e have sounded the temper of the
senate and find that this conclusion is
warranted. The limit to opposition is
put at twenty votes, while other senators,
more sanguine, believe that the opposi¬
tion to the treaty cannot muster even
that number.

The appointment of J. Sterling Mor¬

He has been a tariff reformer for many
years and has, at various times, been the
democratic candidate for governor, sen¬
ator and congressman, though always de¬
feated.
Jnd|« jKCkaon Confirmed.
If there was at any time a deposition
on the part of the democrats to oppose
the confirmation of Judge Jackson, to be
an associate juutico of tbc supreme court
of the United States, that opposition
vanished when the senate went into ex¬
ecutive session Saturday afternoon.
There was not even the formality of a
vote. The executive jourual was read
containing the nomination of Judge
Jackson, which had nreviously been re¬
ported favorably, and when the president
of the senate said, “If there are no ob¬
jections the nomination wii! stand con¬
firmed.” not a senator opened his mouth.
In this quiet way all opposition disap¬
peared, and Associate Justice Jecksou
will, as soon as convenient to him, qual¬
ify for the place to which he has been ap¬
pointed.
Lnmbermen Meet.
The Southern Lumber Manufacturing
Association met at Mobile, Ala.,
Wednesday morning for a two-days’ ses

'to a discussion of the test plan to im¬
prove the selling price of yellow pine
lumber. The nfternoon session was con¬
sumed in committee work. Only one
committee, that of grades and classifica¬
tions reported, and that was to the effect
that the prevailing same grade retained and classificatiou
now be in force for
the ensuing year.

enter and Republican House.
sultation A Topeka special says; After a con¬
Friday morning, which lasted
over three hours, Governor Lowering
signed and the the peace agreement between him
republican the houso of representa¬
tives. Nows of settlement of the
revolution was received in the republican
hall with the wildest demonstration of
joy. The terms of pence are a complete
back-down by the governor, and the re¬
publicans claim that thoy have gained all
that they ever demanded. The decision
of the courts is now awaited with great
anxiety. discouraged The populist? are very much
at the turn affairs have taken,
and are abusing tho governor for agree¬
ing to the terms of peace. Many of the
lenders say that they will not obey tha
supreme court if it decided against them.
TERMS OF AGREEMEllT.
Tho agreement proposes to give the
republicans undisputed p...’session of the
representative and connecliug h ill with all its appurten¬
ance rooms. The repub¬
licans to agree not to make any further
arrests of the populist house officers for
contempt. tinue their mooting The populists hall were down to towD. con¬
in a
The governor was to rentovo the militia
force of deputies. The governor is to
nbide tho decision of the supreme court
before which two cases are now pending.
TROOPS ORDERED RACK
Immcdiatetely after the agreement had
been signed, dispatches were sent out by
Aujutant General Artz, ordering ail
troops now en route to tho capitd to re¬
turn to their homes. Tito populists also
loaded down the wires with messnges to
their supporters that all occasion for
tbolr presenco in Topeka had pa sed for
the timo being.
POFULISTS INDIGNANT.
Some of the populists decidedly from out-of-town
are inclined to be ugly over the
turn affairs have taken, contending that
the governor should have held his own
unt il the republicai s were either starved
out or driven out of tho slatehousc.
Among the citizen?, however, there is a
feeling of profound relief that the crisis
has been averted without bloodshed, and
the good name of the slate is not t the
disgraced by open civil war.
