London, Sept. 15. —In anticipation of
today’s cabinet meeting spectators
gathewei early In Downing street,
evincing the suspense which prevails
in all quarters and which has been
heightened if anything, since yester
day by the delay in the announce

eagerly awaited.
The St. James Gazette says:
"We can confidently affirm that the
final decision on the fiscal question
which was not arrived at yesterday.
The discussion may or may not be re
sumed this afternoon, the meeting be
tag calted to discuss other matters,
but we have no hesitincy in saying
that further consideration will take
place before the government comes to
a definite conclusion on the is
sue. If Mr. Chamberlain’s proposals
are not accopted, he will resign his
seat in the cabinet."

DISALTER IN THE ALPS.
Bain and Melting Snow Cause Turbu

New York, Sept. 18. —A disaster in i
the share of a a h >.s fallen on
this place, says a Herald dispatch from
Bad Gastein, a fumoua Alpine water
ing place in Austria.
Scow fell on ton of accumulated
snow ami then came a heavy rain and
on both sides of the valley from the
great ranges of omuntains for miles
came spurting forth turbulent eater
acts. The water from these rushed
into ether streams and the famous
waterfall which runs through the cen
ter of Bad Gastein became a thunder
ing mass of furious water, causing all
the houses in the neighborhood to vi
brate from its force. The climax
came at 11 o’clock Thursday evening.
About that hour the main street of the
usually quiet town resounded with the
ominous sound of long, loud bugle calls
recognized in the neighborhood as the
call of alarm and the signal that as
sistance was badly noeded. The wa
terfall had increased to mighty pro
portions. Trees and great masses of
wood came thundering down. Earli
er in the evening the electric lights
all over the town had gone o-ut and the
upper bridge on the main road to the
Rockstein had fallen. A little later
the one below the big waterfall gave
way.
All communication wit\ttie nearest
station, Lend-Gaste, has been cut off
owing to the fall of the bridge and
the few visiters remaining there are
temporarily imprisoned.

SOME GEORGIA RETURNS.
One County Pays $37.36 on $1,000;
Another Nothing.
Atlanta, Sept.- 17.—There is a wide
variation in the tax rates of Georgia
counties as they have been furnished
to Comptroller General Wright so that
he can compute the amounts to be
paid to them by the rgllioads and
other corporations which make their
retuixis to him.
Reports have been received from
just 100 counties, and the county tax
ratee Vary all the way from nothing
at all in Terrell, to $37.36 on SI,OOO
in Wilcox.
The reason for the exceptionally
high rate in Wilcox county is the fact
that a new courthouse is to be built,
and, practically all of the money nec
essary for that purpose, It would seem
is to be collected this year. The as
aessment for the courthouse alone in
Wilcox is more than. S3O on the SI,OOO,
payers are far more fortunate, for that
for other purposes is but little more
rate at $5 on SI,OOO. With the state
rate at $5 on SI,OOO, property owners
in Wilcox county will have to pay this
year a total of $42.36 on each SI,OOO,
or more than 4.2 per cent.
In Terrell county, it seems, the tax
payers are tar more fc-runate, for that
county collects no taxes at all. The
i reason for this Is the profits of the dis
j pensary are large enough to pay all
the running expenses of the county
and leave a small surplus over besides.
The next highest Tate to that of Wil
cox is sl3 on SI,OOO in Douglas coun
ty, while Johnson county charges sll
and Butts 10 on SI,OOO. The lowest
rate so iar reported, i.-ith the excep
tion of that ci Terrell county, is $2.50
per SI,OOO in Clinch.
TILLMAN* on lynching.
Makes Rathor Sensational Climax to
Augusta Speech.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 17. —'‘'Political
equality for the negro means social
equality, and social equality means
mongrellzation,” was the rather sensa
tional climax of Sena toil Tillman's
lecture on the race problem last night
“On the lynching question, I declar
ed when governor of South Carolina
that if the necessity arose I would take
a hand in lynching a brute for rape,
and I have never taken it back.”
“When a negro rapes a white wo
man white men are bound to kiU him,
and what difference does it luake
whether H is immediately in the hot
blood of indignation or the cold blood
of the law!”
He pictured a young girl going
through a long, lonely wood with a
tiger crouching in the jungle on one
ride of her pathway and a negro ra
pist on the other, and declared that
if she were of his blood he would, a
‘aousand times rather she fell prey
to the tiger.
He commented sharply upon election
methods in Augusta and declared Au
gusta could not aff*rd to coddle the
negro politically nnd make him the
balance of power to settle her elec
tions.

General Black In Civil Life.
General John C. Black, who has been
chosen commander of the Grand Army
of the Republic, was a student in Wa
bash (Ind.) college when the civil war
began and upon the opening of hostili
ties enlisted as a private in the Mont
gomery guards, which was mustered
into service as Company I of the Elev
enth Indiana zouaves, commancjpd by
Lew Wallace. This regiment served
three months in West Virginia and the
Shenandoah valley. Returning home
at the expiration of the term of his
enlistment, he recruited a company for
the Thirty-seventh Illinois regiment of
volunteers, of which regiment be be
came major. He was promoted for dis
tinguished services successively to lieu
tenant colonel, colonel and brevet brig
adier general of United States volun
teers. Ge.neral Black was twice seri
ously wounded and has almost wholly
lost the use of his left arm.
General Black’s most conspicuous
service was at Prairie Grove In 1862,

perilous march Into the face of death,
says a veteran who was in the engage
ment.
Tirajr hSKjtn to we «4gn» nt Ute
enemy at- the encl of the tbtfd' day.
They were still forty miles from the
scene of the probable fight. The men
were spur!" d on to exertions which
seem almost superhuman. They plod
ded for twenty-four straight hours,
with only two hours for sleep on the
open ground. Their only food was cof
fee. They walked thirty miles at the
last stretch, part of the time at double
quick. The enemy met them on the
way, and at daylight, two miles from
Prairie Grove, the first firing started.
There were many dead soldiers left at
the roadside. The column forged ahead,
its legs weary, its eyes wild from loss
of sleep, and its life all gone save the
life which comes under extraordinary
excitement. Black held the center of
the line. The commander sent word
for him to march straight ahead, to
take the top of the hill and to hold it.
This sent his regiment into the very
front—lnto the middle of the enemy’s
range of guns. There was an Indiana
regiment on one side. Colonel McN’ul
ta’s was on the other. It was a most
perilous .sally—one of the most fright
fully murderous undertakings of all the
war.
The line moved up the hill. It was
met at the brow by a force which out
numbered it five to one. The Confeder
ates came from the woods in swarms,
boating down upon the Union forces
with fearful effect. The Indiana men
hold their ground until tho Confeder
ates came so close that th* explosion
of the rifles spattered the uniforms
with powder stains. The Confederate
commander sent bis host pcllmgll Into
the lone regiment at Black's left. The
men in gru>y be;: -i to beat the Indlan
ians down the I »lde. It was greater
odds than the 1 :of bravery could
meet, and the Ui ■ soldiers retreated.
Colonel Black h. the command next
in the line of bat ■ lie was on the
crest of the hill wi his regiment. The
rebels came at hi: as they came at
thp Indiana men. They might as Weil
have come against a stone wall. The
commander, with his long hair in the
wind and his voice ringing clear and
shrill above the din, held his men to
their work. lie had few words. They
were to the point, and they simply ad
vised tho men to stick close to the
ground and shoot mighty low. He
alone was the target for the thousands
on the other side. One ball brought
his horse to its knees. The men brought
him another. Another ball tore through
his left arm. It fell limp. He picked
it up with h’s other hand and hung it
in the front of his coat. The blood
was streaming from the little hole, but
there was no time for bandage or
thought of pain.
?-t the close of the war General
Black located at Danville, 111., where
he studied law and was admitted to
the bar. He never held political office
until he was appointed commissioner
of pensions, though he twice ran for
congress, once for lieutenant governor
of the state and in 1878 received the
; vote of his party in the legislature for
< the United States senate. In his race
; for congress in the fall of 1884 he led
; his ticket by nearly 2,800 votes, his
Republican opponent, J. Cameron, be
ing elected by less than 500 votes in a
district that had given in presidential
years from 2,500 to 4,000 Republican
majority.
I When Grover Cleveland became pres
i ideut In 1885 the first nomination he
sent to the senate was that of General
Black as commissioner of pensions.
During tho Democratic convention
held at St. Louts In 1888 the vice presi
dency was the only feature of Interest
touched upon, as It was Inevitable that
Mr. Cleveland should receive the presi
dential nomination. General Black's
name came prominently forward at one
time for the former nomination.
