Oleomargarine Haled,
t Washington, Jan. 12.—Mr. Wilson (Re-
giubiican) ot Iowa was present In the sen-
We chamber for the llrst time this eea-
alcn. Ho had been absent during the
tcloalng months of the last session owing
go lUnoss. '1*'e only senators who hay*
tint reached here aa yet are Mr. Jones
!<Popullst) ot Nevada nnd'Mr. Irby (Dem-
Iccrr.t) ot South Carolina.
The Tort.flcatlon bill was reported back
twith amendments trom the committee on
,npprupslatlona and was placed on the cal
endar.
The ungent deficiency bill was taken up
,suid Mr. Teller addressed the senate. He
held the dose attention lor over three
Ihoura ot a large audience on the floor
kind In the galleries as he delivered with
great earnestness and eloquence his views
.on the financial condition ot the govern
ment. He held up to ridicule and con
tempt what he called "the frantic ap-
jgieals” ot the executive department, and
jsald that those appeals showed that that
branch of the government was in wrong
jliands. He spoke of the Carlisle bill of
fered In the house as a bill which for
[crudities and absurdities had few equals
iln this or In any other congress, and
Said thnt If It had Dean iniruuucd by a
member ot the Populist party It would
have been regarded as the height of lu
nacy. His own remedy for the existing
condition ot things was to enlarge the
•metallic basis of the country by the res.
Itoratlon of silver money, low prices In
jp-.o United States and in the world, he
said, were the result of the demonetiza
tion of stiver. He declared himself ready
do Join In any compromise that was not
.a base surrender and abandonment of sil
ver as a money and by which stiver
could be replaced in the monetary system
of the United States, and (through Its
agency) in that of the world. '
He was followed by Mr. lodge (Repub
lican) of Massachusetts, who announced
his hostility to an Income tax, not only
fcecmuau It was bad In Itself, but because
ft was a great step toward the ruin of the
protective system; and by Mr. Stewnrt
(Populist) of Novada, who saw in the full
restoration of stiver as money the only
possible remedy for the existing financial
.troubles.
Mr. Stewart hod not finished his speech
iwhen. at 4:45, tho senate adjourned until
■Monday.

(MILLS COMING SOUTH.
Mr. CooiUdgu Thinks the (Movement Is
Perfectly Natural.
Bouton, Mass., Jan. 12.—Resaidins
the removal of cotton mills tc the
South, Mr. T. j'effeneon CootJdge, treas
urer of the LAmoskeag 'Manufacturing
Company, says;
"This Southern movement is perfect
ly natural. Labor at <the South is a
great deal lower than in tho North, the
mills are nearer the cotton fields and
there is a great saving in freight rates.
Again, Southern roads take cotton as
fifth class, while Northern roads take
It as second and third class, making
a big difference; then there is a great
difference In fuel. Laibor, however, is
the greatest saving, because operatives
work more hours for 'lee* wages, and
It is claimed a saving of 2 cents per
pound can be made. The product of
the Southern mills Is sent motitiy to
Ohfccago and St. iLouis.
“I think that Southern mills will In
crease. We are hampered here by trade
unions, strikes and legislation, mak
ing it more difficult for us »to manu
facture at a profit and unices the legis
lature of 'VMaaftuchuaeftts, instead of
doing all It can to injure manufactur
ers, turns around and assists them
there will be a further loss of business.
Fine goods can be made cheaper in
the Sou til, as well as coarse goods. It.
it is claimed that Southern operatives
axe not as skilled os Northern operat
ives, and that it lakes too long to
educate them, but this is false. South
ern operatives are Just as good In
every ruapeot, and It Is only a question
of time when fine goods will be made
in the South."
The New England mills that now
anticipate building in the South are

rknac mid 'Whittder mills.
NORTH CAiRCHLlNlA’B SENATOR.
Pritchard Said to <Be Certain of the
EBiort Term.
RalefgTTT N. C. Jan. 12.—The PopuMst
caucus of fhc house and senatte met
ait 3 this afternoon, the meeting clo.it.tl
without making a nomination of an
enrolling clerk—the position that con
trols more than any other office.
Tho Republican caucus is in session
ionughi, tttuu It L» expcc’.cd tc r.oml'
nate a United States senator for the
short term. Since flhe retirement of
Dr. Mott last night, Pritchard's chances
are 'tuiought to have grown, and it is
thou gbit he will be nominated ‘onlght.
A candidate is quoted us saying that
the caucus will do nothing Important
tonight, but will adjourn until next
Thursday. SetMilo seems to show fight,
too, but the knowing ones say that
this will count for ilttle tonight and
that Pritchard will be the mm. A
stormy serwion of ‘the caucus is looked
for, and it is ndt unlikely that much
bitterness wMl toe atoirred up, the ef
fect of which may have to be settled
by the legislature. In any case, after
the senatorial question has been sot-
filed, It is said there win be considera
ble drifting apart, and there Is no
doubt that fusion will lose some of
the wurmtfh which’ has marked the
proceedings during these first three
days. Dr. Mott, in having withdrawn.

Glenn, representing Chief of Detectives
Wright as special counsel, Wright be
ing the active prosecutor In (the case.
All indications are that Atlanta’s

of It trom the outset of Its work, which
begins next Tuesday.
Chief Wright's charges which, If true.
maJke Clerk Baker a stellar artist among
the "hoboes,” are in substance, os fol
lows :
"Mr. Amos Baker was In the saloon
business on Woodward avenue, near
Terry street, Ithree or four years ago
until the council refused to grant li
cense allowing beer to be sold on that
street. He then went with Mr. Ben
Hall In the bur and billiard business,
some three years ago. That plaoe was
known to be the rendezvous of hobo#,
crooks and thieves from every part of
the country. During the years of 1890-
1891 Baker was frequently in the aJbove
mentioned place, controlling or direct
ing the same to a greater or lew exltent,
aa though oonccrncd in the manage
ment of thy business. In' the month of
November, not, a buslnew connection
of Baker wth Hall began, and contin
ued during the balance of 1891, through
1892, and until the latter part of 1893.
During all this time the above stated
business place, was known as- the
gathering place of such men as Tom
Powell, George Roberts, Hugh Wright.
Ill. Morris. Fred Hillman, Jltn Bone,
laim Bone, John Doyal and a number
of other# of the same class, popularly
called hobos, and these men and nu
merous crooks were found more or loss
frequently until broken up by the au
thorities al the place of business of
Jlatl & Baker in the National hotel.
' They also ran 'blind tigers' and oold
whisky on Sunday.
"I have further Information that Ba
ker got a lot of goods from John Lang-
ford, a clerk at Elsm.ro Bros. & Co..
In the shape of a bar Jacket, derby hat,
handkerchiefs and other goods.
"In the same year he got a very line
overcoat from one Hugh Wright,, a no
torious burglar, who made his escape
some time afterwards. He paid Wright
81.50 for the coat which wa# worth taO,
and Baker has the coat In his posstwlon
"'"That he and Dan Falvey also robbed
a party of bis watch and 88 In money In
his billiard room. This party made a
kick about the waltch and they gave It
tack to him and kept his money.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 12.—A special to
tho (Morning News from Fernandlna,
Fla., nays: Gtto statement In a New
Yoric paper of Friday concerning the
arrival of a vessel touching at this
pot and bound for Cuba, has been veri
fied by recertt development# and this
town Is enjoying « genuine sensation.
The steam yacht Lagonda arrived
tact Monday from New York, ostensi
bly for the purpose of filling her coal
bunkers and proceeding to tho West
Indies on a pleasure cruise. The next
day her charterers Invited the collector
of the pout, a local editor 4tnd N. B.
Borden, the Spanish consul, to take
a trip up the St. Mary's river, hoiptng
by the very audacity of the scheme to
disarm any suspicion that might arise,
t afterwards trannplred that Mr. Bor
den was the agent dor 'the charterer#
a Mr. iMonteC, and was looking after
the hu»lne!«i of the expedition, having
chartered tho vessel from her owner,
Rev. W. R. Moore, and purchased coal
and other supplies. A few days ago
a number of boxes and coses arrived
by rail for 'Mr. Borden, and were load
ed on the yacht. Today one ot the satno
cases was found to contain cutlasses,
krraipeacks nnd canteens, tl Is nuppoed
that all were thrown overboard, and
that mot of them sank.
The yaaht Is (being detained by the
custom hou»e authorities, and the next
developments will be when the steamer
Baraooa arrives from Boston.
The Morning eNIws correspondent Is
rellalbly Informed thalt the latter ves
sel, a Norwegian of 508 tons. Is due
tomorrow, and Is to Ibe under charter
to the same people. The expedition Is
supposed to be under the direction of
Marti, the Cuban patriot, and 'peculiar
si#"im;i*iiw U attached to the fact of
the RpanlsDi consul being the a'gent
of the veBsris.
He claims 'to Ibe acting only ps a ship
broker, ami ship agent, which l# a part
of hi# regular business «n ddenies that
t.he expedition IFother than a pleasure
trip. It is generally believed that only
the principals know of the object of
the expedition.
ANOTHER STORY.

at the detention of rhe yacht. Xitmlng
that tbe yacht wus hound for the plan-

and that the fifteen cases of cavalry

of similar goods were found floating
In the harbor this morning bear* out
the suspicion that Mnntell had begun
to get rid of Ms cargo with a hope
ot deri.roylng 8hc evidence of hi* guilt.
There is great exettment over the af

lAMnmta, Jan. 12.—(Speol.il.)—'When.
Governor Atkinson nlamed Mm Ellen
Dortch as assistant to the state libra
rian this week he tUIad the last ot the
regular oflkan ait his disposal. Ho wiR
very probably ha vie the appointment
of several judges and solicitors on ac
count of resignations or death.# during
his (term of office, and there will ha a
place on the railroad commission to
be filled In the near future, but no far
as indicating tha policy of Governor
Atkinson In the composition, Ids np-
poUrtunarlts nro oomiitotc. •
No governor In the laltter day politics
of file state had an much to contend
with as Governor Atkinson lu tho mak
ing of appointments, aad now that he
Is through with itlro task h* feels (bat
a groat burden tots boon lifted from
his should era. He baa taken great
pain* lathe seduction of his appointees,
hearing every man who had O' word to
say of any of the hundreds of applica
tions that stiawiTed m jpon him for
the feiv ilkieeS ait his disposal, and
carefully reading through thousands of
written re«j>imuianda.tloii*. The great
stacks of documents of this chiracter
plied up in tile executive oiiive is a
monument ro rile goveanor's patient la
bor on this partilculir horn of the di
lemma of executive duty.
In udditlon to the ordeal ho went
through with the JtUDdreds of people
who 'thronged itlie department, while rile
appointment ware ending. Governor At
kinson was aiao facyd by the scrutiniz
ing eye of rhe cricluil public whlcb had
beuu pfralswotly itold during the cam
paign 'that he had cufiy a little coterie
or “ring" to reward in tho distribution
of patronage. NalutUly Ih'.a view,
taken by a large clem cot, was not the
least unpleasant iBblng the governor
had ito bear In nelectlng his u;en for
office. But at ovary aippoiniamaot those
who had predicted that (lie governor
would be <ontrolled or Influenced by
his "coterie" or ring, wuro difiippbinied.
It 1# a fact, frequently noticed by
those who i kept In touch with the
course of afTatrs while Governor Atkin
son was 'making his (appointment, that
the men who were expected \p be his
most Influential advisers, were con
spicuous by their absence when the
cm.noils were held. This wtis so
marked that there were some reports of
a “drifting apart" between the gov
ernor and his oM. life-long poitilcal
companions. And those who have seen
the records have marvelled at the ab
sence of endorsements from (he fa-
■ m)l»ir, fighting men ot ehe Atkinson
campaign. Tliey gave nobody the In
fluence of tlielr personal relations.with
the chief executive, but when It came
to a question of (appointment they
stood hands off and hold (he governor
to name the men who would uphold his
administration best without regard
to personal preference* or relation#.
This Is one of the romrirkaiWe feature#
of (he new administration so for, Just
its Governor Atkinson’s caenpalgn whs
one of tbe mo*t remarkable in (he his
tory of tin! state, and reflects the high
est credit upon tbe men who helped
him Into office. Had they seen lit to In-
sia: upon .1 recognition of (heir services
there might have been emlba# assment
to tho administration and porsennl
cstrangoments, but os they stood aloof
leaving the governor entirely untram
melled by any of their obligation*, the
new ship Is now sailing in the emot’...
cst waters, with all bands satisfied and
pulling together for the good of the
state.
In discussing Governor Atkinson's rec
ord In muklitg appointments the other
day, a well known politician said:
"I happen to know that the governor
was not only given s clear field by those
who might hive exerted a strong Inttn-
ence with him In behalf of their friends,
but I also know of several circumstances
on account of their relations with him,
that show how strongly he desired to
act for the sole good ot the state and
the party tn making his appointments.
As an Instance of this what better thing
could he have done, or what thing that
would have bad less of a desire to nerve
personal ends In It than to offer the of
fice of state school cosnmlssloner to Gov
ernor Northern, bis predecessor? While
the tact that Governor Northen was the
first man who might have had th* of
fice Is not generally known, yet I know
almost to an absolute certainty that It
would have been tendered to him If ho
hail been willing to accept It.
“Then again. I happen to know that
Gen. Evans could havs had on* of the
best office*—that of adjutant general—In
the gift of the governor had he been
willing to accept It. I understand that
In this ease the general wa* sounded
pretty thoroughly end a good deal ot
persuasion used on him. Now there could
have been nothing but tho highest mo
tives actuating the governor tn these
Instances, and the fact that his nearest
and dearest political friends stepped
tnck nnd instead of using their Influence
for political eud*. Joined him in strength
ening hla administration, speaks volumes
for their devoted friendship and patriot
ism."

Which .was In substance tbe same t*
