VEItNOR DETERMINED TO BRING THE GUILTY TO JUSTICE. HAS CLEAR EVIDENCE AS TO THREE Five Hundred Dollars Facli for the First Two Convicted; $100 for Kacli Addi¬ tional Conviction Secured. The governor of Georgia has offered a reward for the Ryder lynchers and the names of tho most of them are in his possession. He has clear evidence as to three, and it is likely that evi¬ dence as to the others will develop on the trial. The governor offers rewards as follows: Five hundred dollars for the first two lynchers of Dr. Ryder arrested and convicted. One hundred dollars for each sub¬ sequent lyncher of Dr. Ryder arrested and convicted. Two hundred and fifty dollars for each person arrested and convicted of felonious conduct in preventing the arrest or detection of parties guilty of this crime. This action was taken without hesi¬ tation, after an hour’s hearing with Dr. C. A. Ryder of Gainesville, and Prof. II. A. Ryder of Columbus. The brothers are determined and ■will exert every effort to convict the men who were concerned in the Talbot county lynching. Governor Atkinson was asked for an expression of his views, and said: “I am determined to do all that is possible for the executive to do to bring to justice the men who are guilty of the murder of Ryder. “There are two lines upon which we must proceed iu order to rid our country of this practice which is injur¬ ing alike the character of our people and of our civilization. “One is for the press, the pulpit and all enlightened and patriotic citizens to exert themselves to make such offenses odious until.J'iglpt yiertes are recognized^ " ftlicT conformed to by all people. “Those who cannot be reached in this way must be reached by being made to feel the force of the strong arm of the law. They should be given to understand that when they attempt to take a prisoner from the hands of officers their own lives will be forfeited by their effort, and that in case of a successful effort, they will be punished by the courts. said about “There has been much the delays of the law, and yet to.one who fully comprehends our system and Its results this point will receive little consideration. We have now in our penitentiary and county chaingangs over 4,000 convicts. We have had a large number hung during my admin¬ istration, and where there is an occa¬ sional instance where a case is kept in court a great while, it is a rare excep¬ tion and not the rule. “In addition to that, permit me to say that tho men who lynch and take the lives of their fellow men in their own hands are not the men who are usually found on the side of law and order, and if lynching be apologized for on the ground that the law does not conform to the views of everyone, then there will never be a stop put to it. “This being true, let apology for lynch law cease, let it be. condemned in unmeasured terms, and whatever is to be said about changing the law, let it be said to the general assembly, and not for the purpose of palliating a crime lynchers, are guilty of. i * I am satisfied that the good citi¬ zens of Talbot county fully realize the enoTEidy of this offense and co-operation I expect from them that hearty which every good citizen owes to the officers of the law under which he lives.” VIRGINIA POPULISTS ADJOURN. Captain Edmund R. Cocke Nominated For Lieutenant Governor. The populist state convention at Roanoke assembled again Thursday morning.

The Philadelphia Record of Friday contained the following: “Forty steamers were yesterday chartered to load cargoes of grain at Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Newport News for ports in the United Kingdom and Europo, making a day’s record which, it is claimed,has never been equaled. All of these ves¬ sels will require over 4,000,000 bush¬ els of grain. “During the past two weeks fixtures for steam tonnage to carry over 20,- 000,000 bushels of coreals abroad have been orderted.

Miners Swoop Down Upon DeArmitfc Armed wltU Walking; Sticks. Oak Hill, in the vicinity of Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and Sand Creek, of DeArmitt, was invaded after mid¬ night Wednesday by an army of strik¬ ers who were on baud to attend the great mass meeting held near the mines Thursday morning. It is estimated that by daybreak there were several thousand miners encamped upon the hills surrounding the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company’s property. They came from every direction, headed by brass bands, and nearly all of them carried heavy walking sticks, and some were armed. There were no threats of violence, however, and no indications of drink¬ ing. Many were sspplied with food enough to last two days. Immediately upon reaching Oak Ilill the strikers prepared for camp. In the valley leading up from Turtle Creek to one of the New York and Cleveland mines the company had a powerful searchlight. It was kept shifting about in hopes of flanking any movement of the strikers to creep within reach of the mine unknown to the deputies, who guarded every approach. Long before daylight the strikers were up, and after eating their frugal meal, prepared for the day’s -work, The intention was to see as many of De Armitt’s men before they got into the pits as possible. About 4 o’clock 1,500 strikers as¬ sembled at Turtle Creek and headed by three brass bands, with flags and banners flying, marched by the houses occupied by De Armitt’s men. The strikers hooted and yelled and then marched to the mines, where they planted themselves before the pit, thus compelling DoArmitt’s men to run the gauntlet to get to work. A short time later, Sheriff' Lowry, who had been wired to for assistance, arrived from Pittsburg with fifty depu¬ ties, armed with winchesters. The strikers quietly withdrew and the new deputies were placed on guard. When the meeting was called to order at 10 o’clock Thursday morning there were 3,000 striking miners in attendance, and before it was well un¬ der way there were 5,000 people in the vicinity;- - — — The demonstration had no effect upon the men at Plum Creek, and all went to work. The strikers used all their powers of persausion upon the diggers, but none were molested and no threats were made. President Dolan was made chairman of the meeting, and in a short speech he accused De Armitt of insincerity. He said if De Armitt’s men did not come out, there would be a sympathy strike all over the United States. M. P. Carrick was next introduced, and he said that workingmen all over the United States wore interested in this strike, because it will have a ten¬ dency to raise wages everywhere. “If you men of the DeArmitt mines will not come out now, we will march 60,000 men here and compel you to come out, not by force, but by shame.” When Eugene V. Debs was intro¬ duced there was great enthusiasm. He said in part: “I am here not to encourage passion but to appeal to reason. You are in the midst af the greatest contest the world has ever known. Whether you succeed or fail depends upon your¬ selves. In order to win, you must re¬ main absolutely sober until this con¬ test is over. Whisky clouds the brain, robs you of your money and makes you brutal, and also makes you do just what your enemies want vou to do.” After the meeting the Sandy Creek miners returned to work, and the strikers went into camp and had lunch. PENSION RULES REVISED. Changes Will Make Many Modifications In Fresent Practices. A thorough revision of the rules gov¬ erning the adjudication of pension claims under the second section of the net of June 27, 1890, has been made by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis at Washington, and sweeping modifications in the present practices are tho result. The changes are embodied in in¬ structions to tho commissioners of pensions, it is stated that representa¬ tions were made that the present rules render the administration of the law dificult and embarrassing. The new code, it is said, will fur¬ nish a safe, speedy and uniform sys¬ tem of adjusting this class of cases. FIVE HEARS FOR BRIDGES. Ex-County School Commissioner Con¬ victed of Embezzlement. The Bridges embezzlement trial which had been in progress at Rome, Ga., for several days was given to the jury late Saturday afternoon. The jury returned a verdiot of guilty and Judge Henry passed sentence of five years in the penitentiary. Few cases in Floyd county have at¬ tracted as much attention or developed as many sensational features as this. It has been in the courts for nearly two years, and it has been of enormous expense to the county and from the present outlook the drain on the county treasury from this source is not likely to stop soon.

Solicitor Kimsey took the paper on which was written the prisoner’s fate and read in clear tones: “We, the jury find-the defendant guilty.” “I ask that the jury be polled,” said Colonel Glenn. The judge called the name of each juror and asked: “Is that your verdict? Do you agree to it?” Every man re¬ sponded promptly, ‘ ‘yes. ” During this time Flanagan sat with downcast eyes as if meditating the fate that was in store for him. Mr. Flanagan, stand up!” said Judge Candler. The man sb^'ly rose, and sentence was pronounced as follows: “It is ordered by the court that the defendant, Edward C. Flanagan, be taken from the bar of this court to the common jail of DeKalb county and be there safely and securely kept until Wednesday, the 25th day of August, 1897, when, betw sen the hours of 1.1 o’clock a. m. and 1 o’clock p. m., he shall be taken from there by the’ sheriff of DeKalb county and in private in the jail yard of DeKalb county, bo hung by the neck until he is dead,and may God have mercy on his soul. ” “It is further ordered that in the execution of the sentence said sheriff have such guard as in his discretion is necessary, ajid that he procure the at¬ tendance of two physicians to ascer¬ tain when life is extinct. “It is further ordered that the de¬ fendant be allowed at the time of the execution of this sentence to have as many as two ministers of tho gospel present, and such of his immediate family as he may desire, to be limited by the discretion of the sheriff'.” After sentence had been passed the judge discharged the jury, after thank¬ ing them for their attendance and good deportment. INSURGENTS CAPTURE A TOWN. They Got ©40,000 In Gold, Besides a Big Dot of Supplies. The story telegraphed from Havana last about an attack by insurgents on Mariano, a suburban town, is fully confirmed by passengers who left Ha¬ vana on the Plant line steamer Mas- cotte Saturday noon and arrived at Tampa, Fla., Saturday night. The engagement was short and des¬ perate. Forty-nine Spaniards were killed and 120 wounded; two Cubans were killed and twenty wounded. The inhabitants of the town fled for their lives, leaving the insurgents in complete possession. They sacked the place and secured $40,000 in gold besides a lot of supplies that they could carry away. Twelve Mill Operatives Drown.

A Big Deal In Tennessee Has Been Practically Consummated. Mr. Henry Taylor, the representa¬ tive of the English syndicate which has an option on most of the coal mines in East Tennessee, has practi¬ cally closed the deal. The price ap¬ proaches five million dollars and the properties employ 3,000 miners and have an output of about three million tons of coal annually. The capitalists whom Mr. Taylor represents are partly from Boston and partly from England. The stock has already been taken and the bonds sold. Extensive improvements are contem¬ plated in the mines and a railroad from Jellieo to the sea is projected. APPOINTMENTS FROM CHAMPLAIN Thouch (lie President is Awavfrom Wash- ington He is Not Idle. A Washington special says: Quite a big batch of consular appointments was announced Thursday. The presi¬ dent and Secretary Porter took with them to Lake Champlain several ham¬ pers of papers, and up there, away from the heat and the office-seeking crowd, the president is making ap¬ pointments. His decisions are sent on to Washington to be announced. TAHIFF ACT CAUSES HOWL. Protestations Pouring In From All Parts <ir the World. A Washington speceial says: In a Into number of the Congressional Rec¬ ord containing speeches on the tariff c mferenco report is a speech by M. N. Johnson, of North Dakota, in which i he makes a compilation of the protests received by the state department I from the representatives of foreign governments against certain duties imposed in the Dingley tariff bill while that measure was peudiug. Some of these protests have been made public, others have been re¬ ferred to the committees having the tariff bill in charge, and little or no attention has been paid to them. Nearly all these communications | revert to the commerce between the several countries and the United States. They insist that the new tariff bill will retard that commerce and some of them intimate that it will result in decreasing the demand for American goods; some of the ministers disclaim any intention to interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, but make the representations of the benefit of the commerce between the countries. Some suggestions are made that the injury to be done the treasury of the United States on ac¬ count of the imposition of the pro¬ posed duties will be Considerable- Minister Brun, of Denmark,calls at¬ tention to the fact that the tariff on American goods going into Denmark is very favorable and that his govern¬ ment views with a great deal of ap¬ prehension the pending tariff bill and the rates especially. Sir Julian Pauneeforte sent two very brief communication, one in Decem¬ ber, 1896, informing the state depart¬ ment that the fishery board of Scot¬ land protested against the high rate on cured herrings and at the request of marquis of Salisbury he represents to the United States government that the imposes high rates salt which mackerel the Dingley and other bill j on cured fish would cause grave injury to the fishermen on the west coast of Ire¬ land. This note is dated June 18,1897. The protest of Argentine against the duty on hides and wool and of Japan against a number of duties has already been published. China made a pro¬ test on lines similar to those of Japan. SMALLPOX IN ALABAMA. Over Three Hundred Cases Dcrve-loped But No Deaths Result. The physicians of Montgomery, agreed that- Ala., have practically all the twelve cases of sickness now in the city’s pesthouse axe smallpox, al¬ though of a mild form. Compulsory vaccination has been ordered and the police are going from house to house insisting on compliance with the law. The smallpox situation in the state is now somewhat alarming. The dis¬ ease is of the mildest type ever known to the physicians, but it is spreading too much for the public safety. The very mild form of the disease is shown by the fact that out of the 500 cases developed in Alabama within a few months not a death has resulted. This fact is acknowledged to be due to the season of year. The physicians explain that during the summer the patients can be kept in well ventilated rooms, whore the air and sunshine can reach them, and these elements counteract the poison in the patient’s system. It is acknowledged that tin less the disease is stamped out before winter the consequences will be dis¬ astrous. LOCOMOTIVES DESTROYED. Western Railway’s Round House at Mont- S<i:ner 3 r Burned to the Ground. Saturday night the round house of the Western railroad at Montgomery, Ala., caught fire and in less than an hour it was a complete wreck. The building was full of engines, and it is said that eleven were destroyed, some of them the finest on the road. The machine shop attached to the round house was also completely wrecked. The building was principally of wood and, being very dry, burned like pine lightwood. The damage is heavy, but fully covered by insurance. Only Need Material.

BROUGHT OUT BY SEAL FISHERIES. Elliott Claims That Special Commissioner Foster Ha* Misled Secretary Sherman in His Reports On Sealing Matter*. p ro f e ssor Henry W. Elliott, of the c Smithsonian ... . institution, . ... ,. , has given out the complete text of his recent seusa- tional letter to Judge Day, assistant secretary of state, regarding the seal fisheries. It reads as follows: Hon. W. R. Dat, assistant secretary of state, Washington: Dear Sir—In the Morning Recorder, of Lakewood, Ohio, appears the text of a letter to Lord Salisbury,, dated May 10, 1897, and signed by Hon. John Sherman, secretary of state, on the fur seal question. This letter is prefaced by an account of the great embarrassment which its publication has caused the president, and that it has been held up for several days at the request of John W. Foster, who now fears the effect of his own work a few weeks earlier. “Inasmuch as I have a closer per¬ sonal knowledge of this preseut ques¬ tion than any other man living, and vastly more extended, and inasmuch as I am the author of the modus viven- di of 1893, which is the only credible step taken by our government toward settling this seal dispute since it be¬ gan in 1890 up to date, I desire to say that after a careful perusal of the let¬ ter of May 10th, above cited, the president has reason to feel greatly embarrassed, because it lays the state department open to a crushing reply from those not of the Canadian office, and you will be in the same mortify¬ ing fix that Blaine found himself in 1890, when the Canadians simply crushed his contra bonis mores letter by the date which they promptly fur¬ nished in rebuttal. “Inexperienced and ignorant men should not write such letters dealing with data about which they know no more than so many parrots. John W. Foster is utterly ignorant of the truth in regard to the salient features of this seal question on the islands; that letter of May 10th is like all other prepara¬ tions from his hand on this subject— full of gross errors, “His dullness in making up the American case iu 1892-93 cost its that shameful and humiliating defeat which we met with at Paris in 1893. Had he been bright and quick witted, he never would have met with such dias- ter. “Taking this commonplace naan up now, after this record of fiat-failure is stamped all over bis anatomy, and putting him in charge of your sealing question will only thrust yon deeper into the mire than he and your prede¬ cessors have been placed before by the bright men over the line at Ottawa. “I am moved to write you on this point because a senator of the United States recently said to me that Foster had assured the president that the information which I gave the British in 1890 caused the defeat of the Amer¬ ican case at Paris in 1893. The mean¬ ness and untruth of this charge will be quickly seen by your turning to my report of November 17, 1890, which contains this information. “Mr. Foster and his stupid associ¬ ates tried to suppress this report be¬ cause it contained the proof of my au¬ thorship of the modus vivendi of 1891-93, which he meanly stole from me—plagarized in fact, but he was un¬ able to suppress it. And now that he comes forward again to figure in this question, I intend that he shall be re¬ quired at the proper time and before the proper tribunal to give a full ac¬ count of his wretched record as the agent of the United States before the Behring sea tribunal at Paris in 1893. “This whole sealing business, from the day the trouble began in 1890-91 up to date, has not been in the hands of a competent man for one moment. It has been and is now the sport of Canadians, and the languid contempt of the British quoeu’s council is all that it receives when it comes up there. Very truly yours, “Henkv V t . Elliott.” MINERS BECOMING DESTITUTE. Four Hundred Families Are Without Any Means Whatever. Miners in the Danville, Ill., dis¬ trict are in destitute circumstances. Over 400 families are reported without means. Citizens and many of the op¬ erators are contributing liberally with provisions and money. There is no evidence that the strikers contemplate giving up. dispatch Provisions A Chicago says: for the relief of the suffering miners of Illinois are coming in rather slowly. The relief headquarters have been open two days, but nothing beyond a few cash contributions from labor unions has been received. REFUSE CUT WAGES. American Sheet Iron Strikers Have De- termined to Remain Idle. The American Sheet Iron company strikers held a meeting at Phillips- burg, N. J., Saturday night, at which the committee reported the result of its conference with Superintendent Danby. the work The company offered men at cut wages, but they refused to ac¬ cept this proposition, and decided by a unanimous vote not to depart from their stand. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. Japan and Hawaii To S.ittln Thule nif. Cervnvv* Faanaahly. A Washington special says: The Japanese government, has accepted the offer made by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute between the two countries. The state department has been inform¬ ed of the offer and the acceptance. The subjects for arbitration will in¬ clude not only the difficulty over the landing of the Japanese immigrants, hut also will include other disagree- meuts between the two countries, the most important of which is the tax imposed upon the Japanese liquor, largely imported and consumed by the Japanese in Hawaii. The acceptance of the offer of arbi¬ tration, a brief synopsis of which has been telegraphed to the Japanese min¬ ister here and given the state depart¬ ment, states that the Japanese govern¬ ment accepts arbitration in principle ami is prepared to enter upon the terms for a settlement of pending dis¬ putes. The formal letter of acceptance has been sent to Hawaii and the conditions of arbitration will be contained there¬ in. These conditions are not known here. Pending the arrangement of de¬ tails, all other proceedings looking to a settlement will be discontinued. The sake tax, of which the Japanese complain,, is ail increase of the duty on this liquor from 15 cents to $1 per gallon. This tax was passed by the Hawaiian legislature and vetoed bv President Dole on the ground that it was unconstitutional,, and in violation of the treaty with Japan, who had rights under the most favored cause. The tax was passed over his veto almost unanimously, only one vote being cast to sustain the- president. The pressure for taxing sake was from the saloon keepers and the man¬ ufacturers of liquors, as the Japanese use this liquor almost wholly to the exclusion of other beverages. TEXAS DEMOCRATS ACT. At a-Called Conference They Auftrm Unwa¬ vering Allegiance fco the Party. Over a thousand Texas democrats attended a conference at Waco Friday, called by Chairman Blake of the dem¬ ocratic state executive eommitte. The most important action taken was the adoption of resolutions affirm¬ ing unwavering allegiance to the prin¬ ciples of the party as expressed in its recent platform-, state and national, and appealing to- citizens who desire good government to stand as a unit for its support. The paragraph in regard to finance is as follows: ‘‘That we hall as an advance sign of the return to the principles upon which the prosperity of the country can alone be achieved, the disposition of the people in other states, as ex¬ pressed iu the recent elections, to the time-lionoied doctrine of bimetallism and to the use- of both gold and silver as the standard money metals of the country, and to a system of fair and just taxation-, opposed to the trusts and monopolies, and to the principles contained in the last national demo- - eratie platform adopted at Chicago in 1896.” The resolutions conclude with a denunciation of the republican party. NEW PLACE FOR ANDREWS. Deposed I^resident. Will Assume Chare© of Another University. A Providence special says that President Andrews, of Brown uni¬ versity, will in September assume the head of the university projected by John Brisben Walker, the New York millionaire journalist, along absolutly unique lines. Mr. Walker is also a silver man. The university will at first resemble the Chautauqua movement. It will ca¬ ter to the masses of the common peo¬ ple, and there will be no cost or ex¬ penses whatever to the student. Even the textbooks will be free, and work will be conducted by correspondence. The institution will be liberally en¬ dowed. President Andrews will be assisted by an advisory board of ten of the ablest minds in the country. Presi¬ dent Andrews, in speaking of the mat¬ ter, said: “The course of studies will be work¬ ed out with reference to the real needs of men and women in the various walks of life; and will be designed not only to produce broader minds, more cultivated intellects and give greater fitness for special lines of work, but to make better citizens, better neigh¬ bors, and give a happier type of man and womanhood.” EXODUS TO ALASKA HURTFUL.
