The Congress.
The ashington Evening Star says
that can be stated on the highest
authoritfBy that the president is going

that tl fat part of the message was

If Teller Expresses Doubt.
A Washington special says: When
asked j to give his opinion as to the
probali lility of legislation affecting the
curren Poy during the approaching ses¬
sion o f congress, Senator Teller said:
“I do not believe there will be any legis¬
lation 1 1 ooking to substitution of bank notes
for gre jmbacks and treasury notes, which
appear V to be the favorite method of cur¬
rency r eform, so-oallcd, advocated by the
suppor ,ters of the gold standard. I think it
very dr Jmbtful whether the advocates of the
cliang- f?. can agree upon the details of such
legisla ition, and bankers will naturally hesi¬
tate to lnt | increase the issue of bank notes of the in

“I think that congress can settle the Cuban

Cause Riots In Austrian Capitol—Dis¬
graceful Beenes.
Advices irom Vienna state that the
disorder in the lower house of the
reichsrath was so accentuated Friday
that a strong detachment of police had
to be called in to preserve order.
The disgraceful proceedings were
continued Saturday. When the presi¬
dent of the house, Dr. Abrahamovics,
appeared, the chorus of “Shame upon
you” came from the leftists, accom¬
panied by a deafening noise of whis¬
tles and slamming of desks. Many of
the leftists gathered in front of the
president’s platform, shouting and
blowing tin trumpets and flutes, while
the president was ringing his bell for
order. This scene lasted about a
quarter of an hour, during which time
the president quietly remained seated.
Then he suspended the sitting.
As President Abrahamovics was
leaving the house a number of leftists
pelted him with paper balls. There¬
upon the president returned and stood
unmoved. After waiting ten minutes,
the uproar continuing, the president
left the platform. During his absence
the noise was not abated. Dr. WolfT,
of the German leaders, and other dep¬
uties entered the house about that
time, but were forcibly ejected by the
police, to which they offered violent
resistance.
At Grutz a band of students and
other young men started to parade the
streets but were prevented by the po¬
lice from carrying out their intention,
and compelled them to disperse. Later
in the evening a riotous crowd of
workmen assembled in the business
quarter of the town and began to
break windows and commit other ex¬
cesses. Four companies of infantry
and a squadron of cavalry disturbances. were sum¬
moned to the scene of the
Upon their arrival the infantry was
assailed with a shower of stones and
were compelled to fire upon the mob,
killing one and wounding five rioters.
Of the injured four are suffering from
bayonet thrusts. Several police offi¬
cers fciso were hurt.
The disorder continued until shortly
after midnight, when the streets were
cleared and a military patrol of the
town was established.
On Sunday the members of the min¬
istry tendered their resignation to Em¬
peror Francis Joseph, who accepted
them and intrusted Baron Gautsch,
who holds the portfolio of public in¬
struction of the retiring ministry, with
the task pf forming a new cabinet.
Sunday piorning Emperor Francis Jo-
seph addressed an autograph 1 tter to
Count Badeni, desiring the adjourn¬
ment of the reichsrath until further
orders.
During the assembling of the reichs¬
rath, dense masses of people, for the
most part workmen, thronged the
Kingstrasse from the university to the
outer gate of Hofburg. A charge by
the mounted police, with drawn
swords, failing to disperse them, a
body of hussars cleared the streets at
the saber’s point, many persons being
wounded.
BRITISH AND FRENCH FIGHT.
Troops on the African Frontier Precipi¬
tate a War Cloud.
A dispatch from Rome reports that
a sanguinary conflict has taken place
between the French and British at
Nikki in the Lagos Hinterland, on the
African coast.
While the accuracy of the statement
contained in the dispatch announcing
that a conflict had taken place was at
first doubted, London morning papers
point out the imminent danger result¬
ing from proximity of the forces in the
contested territory.
Later a rumor received from the
British colonial office, at London, to
the' effect that there had been a col¬
lision between the British and French
forces at Nikki, which is said to have
been captured by the French troops.
The officials at the colonial office,
however, regard this report as highly
improbable, as they explain the Brit¬
ish police in the Hinterland, who
are in very limit jd numbers, had strict
orders to avoid collision with the
French. It is also understood that
the French forces had been instructed
not to come in conflict with the Brit¬
ish. The British forces in the Hinter¬
land, it is further stated, are being
reinforced considerably.
Increase of Revenue Receipts.
The records of the internal revenue
bureau show that the receipts for the
five months of the present fiscal year
will exceed those for the same period
last year by about $8,000,000.
SOUTHERN H AULS PACKAGES.
Judge Pardee’s Decision, Seems To Have
Settled the Whisky Case.
The decision of Judge Pardee, of
the United States court at Atlanta,
seems to have settled the fight between
the Southern railroad and Bluthenthal
& Bickart, the Atlanta liquor dealers,
in reference to original package law.
The Southern is now hauling the
goods of this firm into South Carolina,
and bottles packed in cases and shipped
in carload lots have been accepted as
original packages.
It is not known whether the South¬
ern will continue the fight or not. The
local counsel of the road have not been
requested by the officials to take any
further steps in the case.
THE BEAU SAILS.
She Goes to the Relief of Ice Bound
Whalers.
A telegram received by Captain Sho-
maker, chief of the revenue cutter ser¬
vice, at Washington, states that the
steamer Bear left Seattle, Wash., Sat¬
urday on her trip north for the relief
of the ice-bound whalers in the Arctic.
The treasury officials entertain no
dduts of the complete success of the
expedition.
WILL BE ALLOWED GERMANY IN
THE LEUDERS EPISODE.
PRESIDENT M’KINLEY IS WATCHFUL
Instructions Given Ambassador White to
Secure an Understanding In the Mat¬
ter at Once.
A Berlin special says: The state de¬
partment at Washington has requested
United States Ambassador White to
ascertain exactly the intentions of
Germany with respect to the claims of
Herr Lueders, whose recent imprison¬
ment in Hayti has caused friction be¬
tween the German and Haytian gov¬
ernments.
Mr. White has also been instructed,
if any schemes of annexation exist, or
if there is an intention to make an ex¬
cessive demonstration with a view of
unduly punishing Hayti, to intimate to
the German government that the
United States government could not
tolerate either of the courses before
mentioned, though in principle having
no objection to Germany obtaining
satisfaction.
German Ships Placed.
The Reichsander, in a communication
setting forth the motives which aotuate
the government in its intention to pre¬
sent a naval bill at the opening of the
reichstag, points out that the naval
interests of the empire abroad require
for their adequate protection two large
cruisers for eastern Asia, one large
cruiser for Central America and South
America, three small cruisers for east¬
ern Asia, three small cruisers for Cen¬
tral America and South America, two
for East Africa, two for the south seas,
two gunboats for eastern Asia, two for
west Africa and one guardship for
Constantinople. is
The chief feature of the naval bill
its apologetic character and the press
comments hardly promise it a safe
passage through the reichstag.
SEVEN THOUSAND PERISH.
Disastrous Typhoon Sweeps Over the
Philippine Islands.
A San Francisco special says: The
typhoon which swept over the Phil¬
ippine islands on the 6th of October
was the cause of one of the worst dis¬
asters that has been heard from on the
southern ocean in many years, if not
in the history of that section of the
world.
Thousands of lives were lost, and
the damage to property was something
appalling. Telegraphic advices con¬
cerning the calamity have been very
meager.
The difficulty of getting news from
the islands is great at any time, and
owing to the remoteness of some of the
provinces visited by the hurricane,full
details did not reach Hong Kong until
the 1st of November.
The steamer Gaelic,from the orient,
today brought letters and papers which
contain accounts of the ravages of the
tidal wave and the winds. Several
towns were swept or blown away.
Fully 500 Europeans were drowned,
and it is estimated that 6,000 natives
perished.
The hurricane struck the island at
the Bay of Santa Paula, in the prov¬
ince of Samar. It devastated the en¬
tire southern portion of the island and
cut off communication with the rest of
the world for two days. On the 12th
the hurricane reached Levte and
struck the capitol of Taelo Ban with
great fury. In less than half an hour
the town was a mass of rnins.
The natives were panic-stricken, and
tried to make their way to clear ground.
Four hundred of them were buried
beneath the debris of wrecked build¬
ings, and 126 corpses of Europeans
were recovered from the ruins when
the native authorities instituted the
search for the dead.
Reports from the southern coast
claim that a score of small trading
vessels and two Sydney traders were
blown ashore and the crews drowned.
The seas at Samoa swept inland
nearly a mile, destroying property
valued at several million dollars, and
causing wholesale deaths among the
natives.
REWARD FOR HEROISM.
A Gold Medal Presented to William S.
Fangford For Saving Fives.
A gold medal was presented Wednes¬
day to William S. Langford, who is a
clerk in the office of the New l r ork
Central and Hudson River railroad
company at New York, for saving the
lives of the passengers in a submerged
car in the Yecent disaster at Garrisons,
N. Y.
The presentation was made in the
presence of Dr. Chauncey M. Depew
and the other railroad officials and
clerks at the Grand Central station.
Langford swam out in the Hudson
river to the submerged car and chopped
a hole in it, releasing three men.
ESTRADA PALMA TALKS.
Cuban Delegate Says Proposition of Au¬
tonomy Will Receive No Considertion.
Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban del¬
egate in New York, speaking on
the terms of the autonomy decrees
said:
“These propositions were scorned
in advance of their presention. They
can receive no consideration now.
With Cuba, it is as it has been since
the was began and will be until it ends
—independence or death.”
UOY. ELLERBE A CANDIDATE.
He Announce, for Re-Election—Defend*
Dispensary Law.
A Columbia special says: Governor
Ellerbe has declared his candidacy for
re-election as governor of South Caro¬
lina, and in advance of his annual
message to the general assembly, he
has seen fit to present his views in re¬
gard to the liquor question. He also
strongly expresses himself in regard
to criticisms that had been made of
his official acts. He gave out an in¬
terview Wednesday night in regard to
a statement in a Charleston paper that
he had told Newbold not to surrender,
the governor says:
“I nm gettiug heartily sick and
tired of such dirty flings and insinua¬
It seems that a gentleman has
no protection, but has to submit to such
slanderous insinuations.
“There seems to be a common un¬
derstanding on the part of certain peo¬
ple to destroy the dispensary law, and
they take advantage of all unfortunate
occurrences to use them against the
law. Since I have been governor I
have tried fearlessly to perform my
official duties, and will not be swerved
by idle clamor or senseless criticism.
“The most difficult problem that
confronts us today is that of the liquor
traffic. The dispensary, I think, is
the best solution of the question, but
as the courts have decided that the
dispensary is not a police regulation,
I am in favor of amending the law so
as to make it a police regulation by
eliminating the profit feature, and, if
necessary, not sell it as a beverage,but
only for medicinal and sacramental
purposes.
“Those who advocate high license
have surely not read Carefully the de¬
cisions of the courts, for in the case of
Scottvs. Donald, the court advanced the
view that the state could prohibit, they
could inspect, but could do no more.
If the dispensary is not a police regu¬
lation, and the state cannot control
the liquor under the dispensary law,
it certainly cannot under high license.
Besides, under a high license system
it would, in a few months, degenerate
into the open barrooms.
“I propose to go before the people
on my record, and, if necessary, to ad¬
vocate the policy just outlined. Some
of my enemies have said I might be
re-elected because of the unwritten
law to give a governor two terms. I
want it understood that no one need
keep out of the race on this account,
and I would not have it as a mere mat¬
ter of precedent if my efforts did not
warrant an indorsement.
“If I cannot refute the numerous
charges that have been made against
me, and cannot show to the people
that I have honestly and faithfully
tried to discharge the duties of the
office, I do not care to be re-elected. ”
CHINA APPEALS.
She Askg Russia to Intercede in the Trou¬
ble With Germany.
According to a Washington dis¬
patch to the New York Herald, China
has appealed to Russia to oust Ger¬
many from her territory, as the result
of the occupation by a German force
of a part of the Shan Tung peninsula.
The Russian legation in Pekin is in
charge of the secretary, Count Cassini,
the minister having been transferred
to Washington as the diplomatic rep¬
resentative of Russia. The negotia¬
tions on the subject are being conduct¬
ed in St. Petersburg.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Chinese government to get Germany
to name a date when she could with¬
draw her forces, the German govern¬
ment has taken no step in the matter
and the fear is expressed in the eastern
and European diplomatic circles that
her occupation, if not of a permanent
character now, is simply a preliminary
to it.
WILL REMOVE FROM WACO.
Baylor University May Follow Baptist
Headquarters to Dallas.
A special from Dallas, Texas, says:
As a result of the Brann-Bavlor uni¬
versity sensations and the tragedies
following them,' culminating in the
deaths of the two Harris brothers, offi¬
cial announcement has been made that
the managers of the state headquar¬
ters of the Baptist church for Texas
have ordered the headquarters remov¬
ed from Waco to Dallas and that the
business of the church will be con¬
ducted from that city, dating from
December 1st.
A rumor is in circulation that Baylor
nniversity, probably the most impor¬
tant protestant institution of education
in Texas, is to be removed from Waco.
NAIL MEN COMBINE.
Affection of Entire Iron Trade Will Be
the Result.
Information from reliable sources in
Cleveland, Ohio, is to the effect than
at the protracted meeting in New York
city during the past week, attended by
nearly all the big producers of wire,
wire nails and rods in the country, an
agreement to consolidate was virtually
reached, only one concern remaining
to be induced to go in.
The combination will be the largest
ever attempted, and will affect the en¬
tire iron trade. In order to avoid the
fate of the old wire nail pool, the rod
mills will be included as well as a num¬
ber of steel producing concerns.
PLANNING FOR REUNION.

In the Royal Grant—Anx¬
iety Is Allayed.
The Cuban constituent assembly,

willing to grant that means Spanish
sovereignty over Cuba shall be accept¬
ed by the Cubans as a settlement of
the war.
“Independence or death is and shall
be the unalterable and sacred motto of
the Cubans.
“The Cubans have not resorted to
arms in order to obtain any political
measures which does not once and for
all solve the question. That is the
reason we will accept nothing short of
absolute independence.
“It is our purpose to constitute an
independent state, orderly, prosperous
and happy, over the ruin of a worn-
out colony. determined
“We are firmly to carry
on war until victory or death crowns
our effort.”

TWENTY YEARS IN THE PEN.
Meiner Was One of a Party of Eight Who
Assaulted Mrs. Gleason.
Frank, alias “Dad” Meiner, was
convicted at Newport, Ky., Wednes¬
day night, of assaulting Mrs. William
Gleason October 6th and sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary.
Claxson and Greer have previously
received the same sentence for the
same offense. There are five others
to be tried for this offense and all will
no doubt receive twenty years each.
The defendants belonged to a gang
that insulted ladies, and then- outrage
on Mrs. Gleason was such that lynch¬
ing was averted only by the transfer of
the prisoners to Maysville.
MUTUAL CONCESSIONS MADE.
Trouble Between Illinois Miners and
Operators Adjusted. .
The conference at Joliet, Ill., Wed¬
nesday between the Illinois miners
and operators has resulted in mutual

the scale be paid on the basit of gross
weight alone, was not entirely settled,
though the mine operators conceded a

REV. (ilBSON VINDICATED.
North Georgia Conference “Pas..." HI#*
Character Without Trial.
There lurks an interesting story be¬
hind the arrest of the character of
Bev. J. T. Gibson by Rev. C. C. Carey
in the North Georgia conference at
Athens Friday. The charge against
Bov. Gibson was that he had been
imprudent with women. There was
no trial, however, and Rev. Gibson
was vindicated, the investigating com¬
mittee having reported a trial not nec¬
essary.
According to reports, Revs. Gibson
and Carey have not been on the best of
terms for a number of years, Rev.
Carey, it is said, has been circulating
some reports about Rev. Gibson,
which prompted Rev. Gibson to de¬
mand an investigation at the present
conference.
The alleged indisoretion which Rev.
Gibson is accused of having commit¬
ted occurred in Rome three or four
years ago ween he was pastor of one
of the Methodist churches of that city.
It developed that the reports were ab¬
solutely false. talked
The matter has been much
about ever since, and Rev. Carey, it is
said, has been largely responsible for
ilia circulation of the reports. Rev.
Gibson has been very much worried on
this account and finally determined
that he would make Rev. Carey prove
his statements.
He then went to Rev. Carey, so it is
said, and obtained a written statement
from him to the effect he had never
circulated any such rumors. It is
further stated that Rev. Gibson has in
his possession certain affidavits from
responsible parties who swear Rev.
Carey did make such statements to
them concerning Rev. Gibson’s char¬
acter.
WILL MYERS AGAIN.
Detectives In Indian Territory Claim to
Have Youthful Murderer.
Requisition papers were made out at
Atlanta Saturday for the return of
Will Myers from the Indian Territory
to Georgia.
From Muscogee, Indian Territory,
came the announcement that Will
Myers had been located, arrested,
completely identified, and that he at
that moment was in the custody of
detectives who had traced the fugitive
murderer across the prairies, over hill
and dale, until he had been brought to
bay, and after an exciting piece of
strategy, captured. Solic¬
The papers were made out by
itor Hill and forwarded, bearing the
governor’s signature. The identifica¬
tion is said to have been made by a
detective who worked in Atlanta dur¬
ing the exposition who is now in the
west.
LEE ALLAYS SUFFERING.
Consul Reports That There Are Destitute
Americans In Cuba.
Consul General Lee has made a re¬
port to the secretary of state in which
he says there are 1,605 American citi¬
zens in Cuba dependent upon charit¬
able assistance. They have partly
been provided for out of the §50,000
appropriated by congress.
General Lee says that in making
provision for the relief of these citi¬
zens more than §1,500 a -week must be
expended. He has drawn $25,000 of
the sum appropriated, of which two
drafts for $5,000 each were drawn this
month. He expresses the opinion
that a considerable time must elapse
before the indigents will be self-sus¬
taining.
PARKHURST EXPRESSES REGRET.
Reformer Was “Unspeakably Sad” to Find
Tammany In Power In New York.
The Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, who
has been away since June, returned
to New York Saturday on board the
steamer Adriatic. He said he had
fully recovered his health and his ap¬
pearance bore out the statement.
He said that it made him “unspeak¬
ably sad” to come back to New York
and find Tammany in power.
CHIPLEY SERIOUSLY ILL.
Floridian, Now In Washington, Is In a
Critical Condition.
A Washington special of Sunday
says: Colonel W. D. Chipley, of
Florida, who was operated on for a
carbuncle several days ago, is in a
very critical condition and it is feared
will terminate fatally.
Mrs. Chipley and the colonel’s son

FLORIDA NEGRO LYNCHED.
Mob Did Their Work and Departed With¬
out Attracting Attention.
Hicks Price, a negro charged with
assaulting a woman, was taken from
the jail at Starke, Fla., by a mob of
about 100 men and hanged to the limb
of a tree. About fifty shots were fired
into his body. ,
The mob gained entrance to the jail
by pretending to have another subject
to imprison, then overpowered the
jailer. The work was done before the
town realized the mob’s presence.
SENATORS FOR RECOGNITION.
Cuba Will Be Upheld By Upper Bouse
of Congress.
The New York World says that dis¬
patches received from many leading
members of the United States senate
indicate stormy times over Cuba as
soon as the senate meets.
Nearly a score of senators are reputed
to have already written resolutions
favoring either intervention by the
United States or immediate recognition,
of the Cuban belligerency.
Mules Perish in Flames.
D. R. Crawford of Laurens county,
