THE II. D. SMITH. EDITOR. IS REGARD TO THE WORK OF BIMETALLIC COMMISSION. MARK HANNA FORMALLY SWORN IN Sew Senator Is Cordially Received l»y His Colleagues—Many Witness the May’s lmtngs. A Washington special says: In an¬ ticipation of an interesting session of the senate Monday, all of the galleries were well filled some time before the senate convened. The long-looked-for speech of Senator Wolcott was the drawing card. Mr. llnnnn, who has just been elect¬ ed senator from Ohio, made his first appearance on the floor since his elec¬ tion. He was cordially greeted by his colleagues on both sides. Mr. Foraker presented the creden¬ tials of Mr. Hanna for the remainder of Mr, Sherman’s term of six years, ■ending March 4, 1889. They were read, As there was no objection to the administration of the oath of office Mr. Foraker escorted Mr. Hanna to the vice president’s desk and the oath was administered. Senator Wolcott Speaks. Mr. Wolcott summarized the work of the bimetallic commission and tho present situation by saying that it is apparent that for the time being it is useless to count on any co-operation .from (treat Britain towards a bimetal¬ lic agreement, and that while France actively its desires to see silver restored Vo old position as a standard of value equally with gold, sho insists fhal Ihe problem is one which demands international action and the co-opera¬ tion to some adequate extent of other leading commercial nations of the vvor) cl. Questions of possible future negoti¬ ations between France, the United States and other countries and the question of change of ratio, are for the moment held iii abeyance. While we hope for continued joint action, France owes no further duty to us. "It is my sincere conviction,” he said, "that an international bimetallic Agreement is still feasible, by the terms of which certain countries will join us and open their mints to thc-wrfimited coinage of silver, and others will contribute to the plan an enlarged use of that metal as money; «nd 1 say this the more freely because I shall give way upon tho commission to somebody more fitted for such ne¬ gotiations and better able to give them his constant time. This result be brought about without the expendi¬ ture of both time and patience, and the persons entrusted with the duty of negotiation must have back of them the hearty support of the president and of congress.” lie thought it might be necessary to change the ratio to something like 20 to 1. Referring to the attitude of Secreta¬ ry Gage on the financial question,con¬ trasting it with the president’s posi¬ tion, he said of Secretary Gage’s re¬ marks upon his currency bill. “The two statements are utterly at variance, and contradictory to each other. They cannot be reconciled. This is not the proper occasion to analyze the bill of the secretary. It will reach limbo long before it reaches the senate. But I do not intend to discuss the bill which the president’s message specifically does not indorse; and it is premature to criticise the sec¬ retary’s republicanism, for his advent into tho party and the cabinet were practically contemporaneous. We must accept the situation. In my opinion, the great majority of the members of the republican party are bimetallists, and the fact that they are misrepre¬ sented by a cabinet officer is not pleasing, but it is endurable. ‘‘The selection of the members of his official household is the president’s own affairs, and so long as ho stands upon the question of bimetallism where he has ever stood, there is no serious ground for apprehension, But even in the inconceivable event that the chief magistrate of this people should in the excercise of his judgment deter¬ mine to countenance the final fasten¬ ing upon this country of burdens of the gold standard, I trust we way still find warrant for faith and hope in the pledges of the party and tho wisdom of its counsels.” MORE TIME GRANTED. Taylor Men Were Not Hear ly To Proceed With Nomination. A Nashville dispatch says: The democratic caucus of members of the legislature met Monday night. Rep¬ resentative I itzpatrick, a McMillin man, urged immediate nomination of United States senator. Mr. I arker, n Taylor, pleaded supporter of Governor Mr. Brandon, for McMillin, said a short delay would be fair and could hurt no one of the candidates. The caucus thereupon adjourned voting until Wednesday night without on the senatorial nomination. TWO CONSULS DROWNED. Boating party Meets With a Oisastrons Catastrophe. Advices received Monday from Co- Ion, Colombia, state that a boating party consisting of the United States consul, W. W. Ashby. Dr. Hafemann, t v German consul, Master Mechanic " e others, supposed to Mott and four a re have been drowned. The body of the boatman has already been recovered. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. Tho Now ImlimlrloK PstnblUht'd Bui Ing the Past Week. Southern correspondents report en- cournping prospects in nil lines of trade for the new year. A feature of the week is the increased number of new industrial enterprises, prominent amoug them being the organization gin and Tennessee.. Furnace operators in the south re¬ port inquiries for iron more numerous than for a long time and orders aro booked ahead for several months, Alabama iron shows especial activity, and among the large orders being filled at Birmingham is one for 10.000 tons of iron from Japanese brokers. Tho Clifton Iron Co.’s furnace at Ironaton will he put in blast Feb. 1, and tho No. 3 furnace of the Sheffield Coal, Iron and Steel Co, will be blown in about Feb. 10. The Home, tin., Fur¬ nace Co. has received an order for 6,000 tons of high grade product, which will keep the furnace busy nearly four months. Consumers of steel billets are ask- ing for figures covering the year, but the mills are not selling that way. The demand for billets, pipe and structural material is liavy and prices are stiffening. Heavy orders are booked from the railroads for spring and summer delivery. The coal trade in the mining dis- tncts of the south is still active. Coal is moving out rapidly, taxing the put of the mines at many points and some operators are compelled to run extra time to supply the demand. Among the most prominent new in- dustries reported for the week are tive following: The American Dynamo Engine and Motor Lamp Co., capital $150,000, Memphis, Temi.; a 100-bar- rel flouring mill at Browmvood, Tex.; furnace works to cost $100,000 at At- lanta, Ga.; the Fvrites Mining Co., capital $250,000, at Alexandria, Va.; tlie Mooselaiul & Kootenai Mining Co., capital $10,000, at Louisville, Ivy.; the Isbell Corundum Co., capital $250,000, Shooting Creek, N. C.; the Water Gas Heating Co., capital $25,000, Norfolk, Va.; the Atlanta (Ga.) Water Power Co., to represent a probable invest- ment of $1,000,000, and the Muscle Shoals Power Co., Sheffield, Ala., to erect a $500,000 plant. A hosiery the' mill be erected at Cnero, Tex.; Enterprise Manufacturing Co., capital $10,000, lias been char- tered at Mobile, Ala., and the Harlow Lumber Co., capital $15,000, at liar- low, Ark. ’ A $25,000 sash and door mill will be established at Valdosta, Ga., and other woodworking plants at Bolling and Mobile, Ala.; Cordele, On.; Nash- ville, Term.; Cleveland, Tex., and Norfolk, Va.—-Tradesman, (Chattanoo- ga, Tenn.) IV A HE BATTLE BEGINS. Nine Kiggest Mills In Ntnv ISeclford Forced to (lose. A special of Monday from Boston, Mass., says: The 80,000 or more skilled operatives employed in about 70 of the chief cotton mills of tho New England states have come under the sweeping order of a new wage scale. This reduction brings oil in New Bedford, Lewiston and Bidde- ford, Maine,- labor strikes which may prove the beginning of ail industrial battle greater in extent and more dis¬ astrous in effect than any in the pre¬ vious history of cotton manufacturing in the United States. The battle against the corporations undoubtedly would have been fought everywhere lmd not the voice of tho men and women who are ill prepared at this time of the year to go into idle¬ ness been heeded by the conservatives. As it is, the great majority of per¬ sons employed in nine corporations in New Bedford and one corporation each in two Maine cities will take upon themselves tho task of forcible resist¬ ance to the reduction. In New Bedford the nine corpora¬ tions represent 22 mills, with over 770,000 spindles, or 21,000 looms, giving means of livelihood to nearly ten thousand. The strikes will be directed by the labor union, the lead being taken by the Mule Spinners union, the national executive committee of which has sanctioned the strike of opposition and promised financial aid. Gen. Tongst,reef’s Bookkeeper. A Washington dispatch says: Gen¬ eral Longstreet, United States railroad commissioner, lias appointed Mr. Al¬ ton Angier, of Georgia, as his book¬ keeper.

JANUARY 21, 1898. SENATOR ALLEN STRONGLY OP- POSES HIS CONFIRMATION. SAYS M'KENNA IS INCOMPETENT, Ami That Appointment Weakest Ever Made—Other Features of tlio Day in Congress* A Washington special says: Almost the entire four hours of tho executive 8essiou . of tl,c aellate "ere de¬ voted to tho indirect consideration of the nomination of Hon. Joseph Mo- Kenna, now attorney general, to be associate justice of the supreme court. The discussion was the result of an effort on the part of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, populist, to secure a post¬ ponement for two weeks. In the end “ compromise for was reached deferring consideration a week on the con- dltlou that the Nebraska senator should a 8 re « to al!ow a vote to be taken on that day. The Hawaiian treaty was not touched upon during the session. TUe <le,mt c upon Mr. McKenna’s nomination was precipitated by SeUn- tor Honr > chairman of the committee on judiciary, who called up the nomi- nation in accordance with his notice of Thursday, and asked for immediate action. In doing this Mr. Hoar spoke bnefl y of the opposition of Mr. Mo¬ Kl ' nll “, fia 3’ in K that the judiciary Corn- n, ittee had investigated most of tho charges made and had reached the conclusion that they were without founda’ion. He said that the greater number of charges had been made by Ihe members of the American Protect- lve Association, and that as they had ,,C0!l founded solely upon the fact that Ml - McKenna was a Catholic in reli- P u »b they hnd not been deemed worthy of scrums consideration. Bemitor White, of California, also «P°ke of the efforts of She American Protective Association to interfere ' vlth t,l ° course, of the senate in giving proper attention to a question, the de- termination of which should depend upon considerations of fitness and jus tle « ns between man and man rather tl,a " »l'l’cal to bigotry, prejudice and a fa,8 « claim of patriotism, As for himself, while he did not con tend tha' Mr. McKenna was a giant m his legal attainments, still ho be- Roved him to be an honorable man, a competent lawyer and a just jurist, and he should support his confirmation. rt was ! >eve that Mr. Allen inter- posed an objection to immediate ac¬ tion, nud characterized tho nomina¬ tion as the weakest ever sent to the senate. !'o said Judge McKenna was too narrow, had not sufficient legal training and was in no way qualified to fill the position. In tho open session of the senate, Clay, of Georgia, presented petitions signed by several hundred Georgians protesting against the passage of the so-called anti-scalping bill which wero referred to the committee on interstate commerce. The house, on motion of Mr. Cooper, of Texas, considered the bill to reim¬ burse the book agents of the Metho¬ dist Episcopal church*, south, in the sum of $281,000. Mr. Gaines, of Nashville, and Mr. Cooper, of Texas, made some arguments asking for tho passage of the bill as reported by tho committee on war claims. The house managers decided not to praceed with the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation, hut to give the day for the considera¬ tion of private bills. CUBAN SCARE ( ALMS DOWN. Consul Lfifl Iloportft That; "Perfev.t Qulot Ifns Boon KcHtored. A Washington dispatch states that the Cuban scare bad subsided Friday, and little interest or anxiety was man¬ ifested in it in official circles. Presi¬ dent McKinley was unusually free from callers, and even the office- seekers were not on hand in their usual numbers. The first congressional caller was Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, who came at half past 0 o’clock.

On the adjournment of tho organiza¬ tion committee of the people’s party, members of the national committee met at the Laclede Jiotel and udoj>ted the following resolution: “Resolved, That we, the members of the national committee present, in¬ dorse the action taken by the organi¬ zation committee and recommend that its provisions he carried into effect, believing that such action will har¬ monize all differences in the party.” There were seventy-four members of the committee represented by mem¬ bers present or by proxies and letters who favored a joint meeting of the na¬ tional committeo and organization committee in the spring.
