Berner spoke first, *nd spoke from-10 until after 12 o’clock. He was followed by Mr. A. 8. Clay, chairman of the state executive com mittee. He spoke nearly two hours. Then Judge H. D.D. Twiggs, though feeling unwell, addressed himself more particularly to ithe negroes, among Whom he is well known, having de fended numbers of them in years past without remuneration. So they an swered. when.he told them “you all know me and know that I would only advise you for your good,” “yes, sir, Judge; we believe you.” There was great enthusiasm throughout the speak ing.

Douglas, Aug. *21.—(Special.)—The Democracy of Coffee county gave Sat urday an old-fashioned barbecue nnd held a grand rally at this place. _^At 10 o’clock a. m. an escort of honor on horseback and in carriages went out one mile under the direction of that prince of riders a-nd sterling Democrat, Mr. Edward A. Buck. Peterson’s well shaded park was made com forcible with numerous sea'ts near a commodi ous speaker’s stand, and at 11 o’clock Col. James M. Denton introduced the Eleventh district’s coming c^ngres^m ,n, Hon. W. G. Brantley of ’Glynn, who for two hours addressed one of the most attentive audiences of 1,200 people on the Issues of the day. • If possible he excelled himself. He, in a calm, im passioned talk, laid bare all. the false claims of Populism. In such plain, nr- gumentive language did he champion the cause of true Democracy that many prominent Popultets and weak-kneed Democrats were heard to express them selves ns coming back to the fold. While we were sorely disappointed at the non-arrlvttl of. Hon. W. Y. At- kln-stn, Mr. Ctaty or Mr. Cobb, we know that much good was effected by Mr. Brantley and by Hon. Leon A. Wilson of Ware, the Fifth district's next sena tor, who held this vast audience spell bound without interruption for one hour, pohring hot shot of Democratic truths into the enemy’s camps. Hon. Arthur Lott, Populist candidate for representta-Mv* «hn invited to a seat on the rostrum where he took his medicine like a ^ n offer to divide time was mode them, but they declined to puft up a man from the fact they knew they could not combat the «uths set forth by our able orators. At 2 o’clock dinner was announced, and such a dinner! . Barbecued meats of all descriptions and delicacies pre pared by Coffee county’s Democratic mothers, wive* and daughters, in such bountiful profusion that six hundred more could have been easily fed. A separate table at the same time was spread for our brothers fn black, who enjoyed t£e occasion as only they con. The Broxtpn Cornet band discours'd sweet music throughout th© day. Af- dinner, at the court house, the peo ple assembled to perfect permanent oounty organization, which was done by thothig Col. C. A. Ward, Jr., chairmen; Jeff Kirkland of Pearson vice president, and Gus L. Brack of Douglas secretary. The seven districts or the county each have a club hi g*od working order, and while we ore the not bed of Populism in south Georgia, we can assure our Democratic friendb tint old Coffee will uphold her former prestige and roll up in October a solid majority for Democracy and the right. Fbr once, the day passed off most pieisnntly, there not being even a hint si disrurbance of any kind.

Looms Are fill* and Mill* Cfo«erf—The Strikers Oetermlnsit to Resist ths Cat la Wages Do m andid by the Mill Owners, Brady Has Accepted Hie Sioux City CJsib's Offer of £23,000. Sioux City, Aug. 2L—Corbett's tunn- oger, William A. Brady, 1ms tele graphed Ins acceptance of the BiouX City Athletic Club’s $23,000 offer for the Curbett-Juckson fight. Jackson tel egraphed yesterday that ho would ac cept if training expenses were guar anteed.biiu provided the fight iLu uot take place. The guarantee was made. The club Is composed of forty of the leading business and professional nu n, who hard Jointly signed a note for $23,- IM)0 to be taken up uud tho cash depos ited with the articles when signed. The club manager does not tell how they expect to pull the light off. He sTmply says: ‘We can reach any one of four states within one hour’s ride of Sioux City nnd vro have also two Missouri river Islands over which neither Iowa, Ne braska nor South Dakota claim juris diction, within fifteen inUiutes of the heart of the city.” T‘ will not permit this prize tight to occur within the corporate limits of Sioux City,” said Mayor, Fletcher, in speaking of the jfforta being made to get the nintch through. “What is more, I doubt if it would bo allowed to be fought on Iowa soil. So far ns my Ju risdiction is concerned, 1 shall unalter ably oppose the movement to have the battle fought here.” Sioux City’s offer for th© Jackson- Corbeft fight is still somewhat of a mystery «to everybody In the city who is not on the Inside of the scheme to bring the fight here. The thing worked up very quickly and quietly and sprung hfterall the details had been arranged The men who h»jve appeared on the sur face ©ay -they are backed by the best people of the town and hint at who some of them are. and when the best people aro asked about It they all re fuse to give any Informatloii and deny interest in ft. They all believe ai prize fight, If kt Is big enough, is a good firing for a -town to have, and they say they will make this the biggest fight ihut was ever held. There Is a great division of opinion In the mat-ter 1-n 'the city. Some de clare lit 13 all a fake. The mayor and sheriff »:iy chew will have no fighting here, but the promoters'<5f the scheme only smile and ©ay nothing when ffiese statements are reported to them. They declare ’they have every corner guarded; that there can be no interfer ence by local authorities and they will have the flgh.t right in *h© city. A favorite theory Is, -that this scheme is based on the fact that South Dakota, which lies across the big Sioux river, fiom the city, has a weak against prize fighting, and it ta believed the auPWori- tles In the country’s adjoining territory have been induced to take the same liberal, and thoroughly modern views of 'the subject as are entertained by Sioux Cltylams. and thait having suc ceeded in thl*. they have the assurance that ;the fight can be pulled off within a range of the suburban service of t-he ckty street car system in South Dako ta. The -telegrams that have been re ceived this afternoon by the Sioux City Athletic Association indicate that Pe ter Jaekronla not anxious to fight Jas. J. Corbett and is willing to get out or It If possible. When the dub’s offer for the fight came out he was Inter viewed in New York nnd said he would make a statement as soon nm he heard from the club personally. He has nc>: •wired the dub since the offer of a guar antee of training expenses was made, but Richard K. Pox has wired asking If the dub will deportt the full amount of the purse with him. This the club will not do. Corbett has sent word Wm he would require no further guaran tee from the dub than a deposit of 22,500 for his expenses. A FIERCE FIGHT. Everhardt, the Southern Boy, Knocked Out Abbott, lb© Englishman, li> Twenty-five Rounds. New Orleans. -Aug. 21.—There were 5,000 spectators seated In the Olympic Club arena tonight at 9:15 o’clock, when time wus called for the twenty-five- round ffcteutffle glove contest between Stanton Abbott, the champion light weight of England, and Jack Ever hardt, of this city, for a purse of $1,500. Abbott commenced the fight by land ing a sharp body blow. Some heavy In fighting followed near the ropes, Ab bott doing the better fating. In a clinch honors were easy. Both men landed rignts anti Abfx/lt retired to his corner with a mark on the left eye. he second round Evertmrix re ceived a left in tho stomach. The Englishman seemed to confine bis figh . Ing principally to the body. Abbott landed a left on the face, and ran iway from a return. The Englishman scored two lefts as the gong ended the round. The light continued with but slight variation to the eighth round, when Abbott. In a but rally in the centre of ng. apparently had the best of it and finally landed on his opponent’s face. In the ninth round there was «ome hot fighting and the tenth and eley. enth rounds Abbott had much the best of it, knocking Everhardt down with a left In toe flee. From this Uane up to the twentienth round Abbott was in the condi tion. From the twenty-second to the .wenty-fourtto rounds th*■ fighting was furious, Everhardt improving In condi tion while Abbott looked tired. In the twenty-fifth round Abbott was knocked out. a':-.- having J-<-•: k ,• « k• down half a dozen times. During th*» lost part of th* o»ru**t Brertartt fouled Abbott several times- but no no tice woe taken of U* Washington, Aug. 21.—Chairman Wilson of the ways and means com mittee will- probably make a trip to Europe after the adjournment of con gress He will take one of tho fast liners, If his present programme Is car ried out, and remain a week in London, returning to the United Suites about twenty days after his departure. He ►aid this morning that he felt more fa tigued today than he has at auy time for two months. -The excitement at tending his work on the conference committee buoyed him up to some ex tent, and now that all this excitement his passed, a reaotlou has set in. It is Ills purpose to enter the campaign In (his district immediately upon his re turn from Europe. He may speak in other districts, but he does not expect to go outside of 'i-ho state. Mr. Wilson was asked toady what action the pres ident would take regarding the tariff bill. He replied that he had not seen Mr. Cleveland for some days, but in his opinion the bill would probably be come a law without the executive sig nature. Should (Mr. Wilson’s surmise be correct, an adjournment of congress will not occur before Tuesday of nex'fc week. Vice President Stevenson and Senator Hill took an outlnar today in Montlcello, the former home of Jefferson. Private Secretary Thurber expects tho president to return to the White House on Thursday. He may reach here Thursday mbrning, but to those who know how averse the president is to traveling on railroad trains at night, it seems more likely he will reach the elty shortly before 11 o'clock Wednesday night on the train that he has frequent ly taken on the bccnslon of former re turning trips to Washington. The pres ident is tnxlous to get back on Thurs day. as he has ifiuch business to attend to before he lets congress adjourn, nnd he expects to have little rest tor the next ten days. Oongre^a Is scheduled to adjbum next week and the president will probably return qt once to Gray Gable© and spend the month of September there. He will not ntiow any but the most ur gent public business to Interfere with his month ot vacation and-will insist that, the privacy of his seashore cottage be respected during U»at time. Office seekers and people with any sort of nxe#i to grind will be exepected* to keep away from Buzzard's Bay and save their energies ibr fall campaigning at the White House, to which the presi dent's family will return ubout the sec ond week of October Such matters pertaining to the official action of «the president during tils vacation as are of public interact will be transmitted to an 1 given out from the White House. Imported goods now In bonded ware houses and placed on the free list by the new tariff bill are to be assessed ot the rates prescribed bv the McKinley taw. While gotids in bbnded warehouses on which the duty la lessened by the senate bills, but are not placed on tho free list, are to have the lower rates. This flcomlngly inconsistent construc tion of fthe tariff btll has been made nt the treasury department us the result of conference© between Secretary Car lisle and Attorney General Olney. Tho bill provides that goods imported under the McKinley act and placed in bond ed warehouses may be withdrawn tor consumption ot the lower rates of the senate measure. 'The benefit thus con ferred was undoubtedly intended to ap ply to the free list, but, unfortunately for the importers, a direct provision of that character is not In the bill. The intent bf congress In the matter Is so plain (that It In expected the cours would construe the benefits of the tariff bill to apply lo the Importer, but th<* tiv.mury department f* anxious *0 avoid lognl comptloatlons. In view ’of .the decJrton of the secretary, however, tt appears that this will not be possible. Goods now In bonded warehouses nnd placed on the free list by the new bill will be assessed on thc4r withdrawal under the rate© Imposed bv the McKinley law, and the importers wJJl naturally protest and sue the government for a refund of duties. Importers, however, may avoid atnbqrnuMment by withdrawing their goods without payment bf duty, ex porting them to some near by foreign port and then reimporting them under the free list ofter the new law becomes operative. New Bedford, Mass., Aug. II.—Tb* pleasant. visions of some, that tho strike of textile operators would provo a bug© fizzle and-oniy a temporary rip ple on the surface of the Industrial sen, by the developments of today arc bhowu to be based upon a most super ficial aud hollow view of the condi tions of the aoiuaj situation. The con clusion jumped nt by ©ome that, inas much us the mills known us tho How- laud plant hud conceded the old sched ule of wages, the other cotton mnnu- facturiug establishments lu the city would hasten to follow ithelr lead, Buell as have taken this view seem to have lost feignt of u very Important circum stance <ln connection with the complica tion. At tho time of tho mooting of tho mill men for Vaie purpose of arranging for the cut down, Wm. D. Howlaud was not Jn tho city, and no representa tive of t^e Itoth or Howland corpora tions, or the New Bedford {Vlanufact- rulng Company was then present. Tdere are not a, few who do not nesl- tue to say that this was not a coinci dence*. • - After a long consideration of the sit uation, and with a reasonable assur ance that the operatives would snow fight, the mills decided to post notices of a out , down. Without positive knowledge of what Air. Howland might 00 m regard to tho enforcing of uio nonces, tue operatives geheiuliy trom the oral telt u»ut lie would make his employed tile concessions they de sired rather than see tho p/easnut re lations which have existed between them ruptured. tt is not to be supposed for a minuto that the other manufacturers were not us well Informed lu tnls regard ns tno operators. Yet, In view of all tho con ditions. tho notices were posited. Tne conditions In the yarn Ulid cloth mills are widely dissimilar. It Ik generally agreed thux thosa mills producing yarn aioue are finding a muoh better mar ket for tlulr goods than is found for cloth. In tho case of manufacturers of yarn, it Is -a serious mutter to loso a buyer, as .the identity of their produot Is completely unknown to the general public, who purchase It under tlio biuod of uther manufacturers, who make it Into cloth. Tht« Is not, of course, the cn*o with 'tiro product of the cloth tnitis. When there is any muvomeut ih *cloth the opportunity to dispose of goods Is always open to cloth producing mills. It Is a coiilmon thing for a retail buyer, who la fuvol-ab'y Impressed with, a particular brand of cloth, to call for iii over the counter of the retailer, nnd thus tho mills are constantly brought face to face with th* eusunwr. In the case of yurn mlllfl, trade once diverted may never be regained; consequently It Is of the utmost importance that it should fill nil of its orders. It is possible for a cloth producing mill to remain Idle for n protracted period and still letalu its prestige in the market. No donbt these considerations have been given weight. SITUATION AT NEW BEDFORD. New Bedford. Aug. 21.—A feeling pre vails that all of tiie mills In this city, whose production la yam exclusively, hre likely to follow the Howland corpo ration and the New Bedford Manufac turing Company in conceding the old schedule of wasps to their employes, but the raM* producing cloth Innend to fight the mutter out. If this should prove <0 bo the case the strike would be settlod so far ns about 400 operative* are cor.erned. but there would still be atf>ut 700 of the operatives In Idleness. The loom fixers met nt Bplnners’ Hall early this morning. There wub not one of 210 loom fixers In the olty unaccount ed for. Tho moating was Intensely en thusiastic and the sentiment was not to return to work, until an assurance la received that the old schedule of wages Is restored. The loom fixer* are ve- i.hment In their assertions that the cut- down la more unlust In their case than In that of any of ihe other operatives. TUE MILLS AFFECTED. TN THE HOUBE. Washington, Aug. SWRw house ad journed over tomorrow, after an unim portant session of about an hour today. Unsuccessful efforts were made to se cure consideration of seven 1 Important measures, ehlitf among which was th© -Hill bill for the exclusion of alien An archists. Mr. Warner (Democrat) of Now York objected, and persisted in his objection, notwithstanding the appeals of Messrs. BoJtner and M<?AUlliu, the Utter of whom.

Several o<f them have ex- themse lves as an Hailed that both critics of the question will receive ,\ fair ami impartial hearing. Tne ttixt witness nut upon tho stand this morning wua Michael J. Carroll, editor of th*' Eight-Hour Herald. Mr. Carroll believed the government should own railroads. This, he said, was the true solution of the labor problem. He cited the ftWua*tlon In Australia, where tho government owns the telegraph lines, as proof that his Ideas wero prac ticable. Malcolm McDowell. <1 reporter for a morning paper, testified next. He had Keen airs overturned nnd other overt acts, but could nbt say whether the work had been done by members of the American Rnllwtiv Union nr not. He did not believe than many railroad men were ngstged I11 the**e acts. Thomas W. Heatiioote, chairman of the Pullman strike committee, wa« re called. Ho declared that the Pullman employes had no niternaitlve but to strike. • Rev. M. H. Wlckman. the Swedlnh minister at Pullmon. told of the reduc tion of his parishoner’* wages. He said the Swedish laborers nt, Pullman wero mode to pay more rent nt 'Pullman than ■■RoKeland or other places In the neighborhood. “Why then.” asked Chnirman Wright, do not the men Uvo in Roseland or vi cinity?” “They are.ooanm'anded to live in Pull man on jxtin of dlsmlwa). Even where men bwn homes outside o fPullmnn If work becomes ©lack these men are tho first atid off.” Mr. Wlckman told of the case of nn employe who was Injured 1n tho Pull man shropn nnd obliged to stay In the hospital tor nine weeks. During thlH time the company charged him rent for his house In Pullmun, refused to pay him any damages and cut down hi* wages when he loft tho hospital because his ,Injury prevented his doing as much work as formerly. Hi Cleveland, a reporter for a morn ing paper, gave his experience during the strike. He hhd seen rioting In sev eral place*, but thought those eugngod in overt acts were roughs and rowdies and that few or none of them were railroad men. Mr. Cleveland Joined with the two reporters who preceded him In scoring tho United States dep uty marsh ate. Herman E. Dutton gave his observn tlons'as a reporter for two morning papers at different tiims dunlng the rftrlke. He «hnd seen but few railroad men engaged in rioting. Other report ers gave similar views nnd testimbny nt the afternoon session. Governor Altgeld this morning sent a letter to Georgo M. Puthfiam, In which he outlined the desperate condition cf affairs mnnng the strikers at Pullman, nnd Invited Mr. Pullman to call on him and deviso some means of relief for the 1,600 starving families in this town. A* yet the governor has received no reply from Pullman. The Pullman- relief committee was Informed by the governor that imme diate did was*on hand for tho sufferers, but he declined *to name itn source. “While I can say that relief will be on hand at once,’* said he, “I cannot at present define what «hall be done to af ford substantial help. There nre three ways of securing the aeclstnnco which must bo had at bnce,. There Is the gov ernor’s fund, which «wHl not permit of any considerable dmft, and there 1s also a poesibIHty of convening the leg islature for tho purpose of making an appropriation, but that plan, would take too long.

GOVERNOR ALTGELD’S APPEAL. After making a thorough investiga tion* of the conditions existing among Mlt ex-employee of tiie Pullman Com-, pany, who participated in /the recent boycott and strike. Governor Altgeld Issued the following relief appeal: “TV> the People of the State o£ RIF' note and Especially the City of Chica go: 'There la great distress growing out of tho want of food In and around the town of Pullman. More- than one thuustind families, or in the neighbor hood of 6,000 people, ore utterly desti tute. Nearly four-flfi'hs of them ure women and children. The men bate endeavored to get work, but were un able to do so. I have made u penion-il examination of the case and learn from the officers of the Pullman Com pany that prior to the strike they had 3,200 name/ on tho pay roll. Yesterday they had 2,220 people a*t work, but over 603 of these are new men, no that they have about 1,600 of their old employes at work, leaving about 1,660 that Iiavc not been taken back. Several hundred of 'these have left, but the remainder nre unable to gek away and have noth ing to cut, “I find tWt immediately after the beginning of the strike a relief associa tion was formed to provide tor the needy, and the books of this assocla- i: -;i show tli.il application* were made by the Pullman employes, mostly heads of families, tx> this association for aid. In fact, nearly all the em ploye*, except *the few hundred who left, have been supported by charity for nearly three month*. A* a rule, they are a suprerlor class of laboring people, Industrious, capable and steady, und name of them have worked for the Pullman Company for more than ten years.
