PASUO FOLLOWERS GO OVER TO JACKSONVILLE MAN. CHANGED FOR SAKE OF HARMONY. Two lln I lota Only Were Required to Effect Beeult—Short Sketch of file New Senator. A Tallahassee special says: Tues¬ day’s preliminary ballot in the Florida senate and the house developed the fact that Taliaferro bad a strong load. The result of the first ballot was as follows: Taliaferro 40, Pasco 39, Call 8, scattering 5, absentees 2. Taliaferro bad a mujority in the senate, but as a matter of course he fell short of a majority in the house. Taliaferro Wins. It took just one short ballot Wed¬ nesday to settle the contest. On that ballot James P. Taliaferro, of Jacksonville, was elected to succeed Hainucl Pasco, who has had twelve years of service in the senate, Talia¬ ferro getting several more than tho requisite majority of the joint assem¬ bly. Tho contest ended as it began, with the utmost good feeling prevail¬ ing, and everybody in Florida seems glad that the fight is over. The final vote resulted as follows: Taliaferro . s. Pasco ..... ~ Call....... 6 Clai >....... Paired..... o Late Tuesday night a deal was con¬ summated by which tho west Florida and i’ainpa kickers were brought into line for Taliaferro. Parly in the day il became apparent that 'Tuesday night's prediction of Taliaferro’s victory were to be soon re¬ alized. The Fusco men were game to the last, but when it came to betting they would only place their money against nomination on the first ballot. They soon abandoned even this position. They saw tho inevitable and bad noth¬ ing left but hope. The ball of the bouse was crowded long beforo noon. Down tho broad ©enter aisle chairs were placed for the accommodation of the senate and of the lady spectators, of whom there were a large number, while the men spectators ranged themselves along the side walls. The steering committee had decided that there was to be no oratory, and the result was that within twenty-five minutes after tho joint assembly was called to order, a senator hud been chosen. Only those on the inside knew what was coining until O’Brien’s name was called and he arose to explain his vote. He said he had east his vote for Pasco in Tuesday’s ballot because of appre¬ ciation for the senator's services, but he felt that the state' should be saved from the possil ility of a deadlock, and that the best way to this was to vote for Taliaferro. This he did and the Taliaferro people sent up a mighty yell. This was repeated us the roll proceeded and man after man of the doubtful ones lined up in tbe same way. W hen the list was nut tip by the clerks it was seen that Taliaferro fifty-four votes. There were three absentees so forty-nine was a majority of the vote oast. After that there were several changes, which ran Tat- iaforro’s total to fifty-nine. Short Sketch of tho Victor. fonator Taliaferro is a man who will make bis impress upon Washington, Just as he has been a splendid and successful business man. so will he prove splendid and successful us a senator. He is a native of Virginia, a member of that branch of the Talia- ferro family that comes from Orange Courthouse. As a boy he was in the coufederate army. He removed to Florida almost inline- diatelv after tbe war and has been identified with tbe state’s material progress ever since. Senator Talia- ferro is fifty-one years of age, but looks younger. He is a man of strong personality, who possesses to a high deirree the facility (> f mnkiinr ' Mol) stromr and lasting friendship. tie to him . The people of Florida feel an- prune confidence in him ami believe he will prove one of tho ablest seua- tors the state has ever had.

BIG INCREASE IN EXPORTS. Item* of Iron and Steel Alono Have Grown Over $16,000,000. The bureau of statistics, in an nrti- do furnished tho press Sunday says that the exportation of manufactures in the fiscal year 1899 is likely to show an increase of more than $30,000,000 over that of last year, and that iron and steel alone will supply more than one-half that increase.

A Tallahassee special says: Tues- day’s preliminary ballot in the Florida senate and the house developed the fact that Taliaferro had a strong lead. The result of the first ballot was as follows: Taliaferro 4G, Pasco 39, Call 8, scattering 5, absentees 2. Taliaferro bad a majority in the foliate, but as a matter of course be fell short of a majority in the house. Some of his supporters fondly hoped that he would carry both houses and that the contest would be settled on first ballot, but those closest to the Jacksonville man knew that there would be enough scattering votes to prevent an election the first day. They had not counted on it at any tirae. They regarded Tuesday’s bal- lot of value chiefly in lining up the members of the legislature and iu de- veloping tho weak places. While Senator Pasco himself has been very conservative in bis claims, some of his supporters felt confident that he would lead on the first ballot. There is no doubt that a good many members would like to seo a deadlock, On the other hand it is claimed there ere enough men voting for Senator Pasco who are opposed to a deadlock to vote for Taliaferro simply to pre- vent^sucb a state of affairs. They have been boasting so loudly that this present contest is a credit to the state as compared with others that have gono before that they are interested iti having their boast made good and having Florida select one senator without all the bitterness and strife that has disrupted the democratic party of the state in the past. Of the five scattering votes, Tues¬ day, two went for Frank Clark, two were cast blank and one went for Sparkman. GRIGGS VISITS ATLANTA. United States Attorney General Inspects Prison Sites In Georgia Capital. At Atlanta dispatch says: Attorney General John W. Griggs,accompanied by Hon. L. F. Livingston, Major Frank L. Strong, one of the officials of the department of justice; Private Secretary C. O. Cooper, Architect Eames, of St. Louis, andW. S.Brown, agent of the Southern road in Wash¬ ington, arrived iu that city Tuesday in a special ear over the Southern railway for the purpose of inspecting sites in and around Atlanta for the U 0 W fedet.tl plisoil. The party spent almost the entire d&y visiting various localities, and the general opinion seems to be that a de- cisiou lia * bep » reached. Every indi- ca J lon P oi,lts to tbe fact tliat the Slte offered by the Central lailroad near Fort McPherson will be selected by ^ r - Griggs. He is very much pleased with this location, but his definite de- cisiou, however, will not be announced until about a week after his return to Washington. j SB AFTER SIDES WITH LAWTON. - Says He Does Not Know General Otis and Gives Him Cold Shoulder. Maj. General Shafter passed through Chicago Tuesday eu route to his broth- er's home in Syracuse, Ill, He was much improved in health. Discussiug the Philippine wrr, he said: • “If General Lawton states that one j hundred thousand arc needed in the , Philippines hostilities and in order briug to effectually tho natives end to j terms, I should say that undoubted an army of snoh proportions is requir- ed. We of the army have supreme judg-! confidence in General Lawton’s meut, and it is his practice to under- , estimate rather than to exaggerate I when passing upon existing cornli- tious. ! i “I don’t know Otis- never saw him,” ! the general added. “I think Lawton bad a right to criticise tho tactics of the commanding general if he believed them unwise.” LEE’S TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS. Commander Iituri Ills Rast General Or¬ der In the Nature of a Valedictory. A dispatch from Havana says: The last general order issued by Major, General Fitzhugh Lee to his com¬ mand, the Seventh army corps, is, in part, as follows: “An order has been received which moves the last regiment of theSeveuth, army corps across the sea, to he mus-j tered out of the service of the United States and the ranks of its organiza¬ tion wiLl be forever broken. The record made by the officers and men, however, will be forever preserved on the pages of the military history in which their country will inscribe their deeds. “No troops have won a greater rep¬ utation for discipline, drill, manly) discharge of duty, soldierly conduct and cheerful obedience to all orders. “The president’s assurance that had the war with Spain contined the Seventh army corps would have been selected to lead the assault on Havana lines proves that that corps possessed the confidence of the commandcv-iu- ehief of the army and navy, a confi¬ dence shared by his fellow country¬ men. “It is gratifying, in reviewing the careers of the corps to remember the harmony which has existed among the 40,000 soldiers who answered the roll call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Savan- nah and in Cuba, whether it were the volunteers who afterward, at various times, broke ranks and resumed the duties of citizenship, or the regulars, whose standards, still flying, are now the advance sentinels of American progress and civilization, “The soldiers of the north and south took the sunshino and storm of camp together and marched side by side under one flag, in one cause and for one country.” SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The New Industries Reported in the South During the fast Week.

Consul Williams Denies Statements About the Philippine islands, Tho state department has published a report from United States Consul Williams at Manila, in which he re¬ futes tho statements regarding the health and climate of the Philippines. the last year, he says, he heard of no temperature in the islands below 57 degrees and none above 95 degrees iu the Sun. The city of Ma- nila is swept by sea breezes and has an abundant and good water supply. The death rate is small and with proper care one may be entiiely healthy. MORGAN FAVORS PARTITION. Senator Says Thai is the Only Way to s«t- t,e Sa,noan Muddle. A special from Washington says: Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, a leading member of the foreign rela- ^ ons committee, when asked for an expression on the Samoan problem, sail “ “There . but permanent solu- is one tion of the Samoan question. That is a partition of the island by the three great powers which have by common desire just formed a commission to reconcile the differences between themselves and the native Samoans.” 44 He Who Pursues Two Hares Catches Neither/ * Said a Well known young man about town, “I tried for years to bum the candle at both ends, in the pursuit of pleasure while trying to attend to business.

A young married lady one morning gave her husband a sealed letter, which he was to read when he got to his office. He did so, and the letter ran as follows: “I am obliged to tell you something that may give you pain, but there ia no help for it. You shall know every¬ thing, whatever be the consequences. For the last week I have felt that it must come to this, but I Lave waited until the last extremity, and can re¬ main quiet no longer. Do not over¬ whelm me with bitter reproach, for you will have to put up with your share of the trouble as well as myself.” Cold perspiration stood in thick drops on the brow of the husband, who was prepared for the worst. Trembling he read on: “Our coal is all gone. Please order a ton to be sent this afternoon. I thought you might forget it for the tenth time, and therefore wrote you this letter.” But he didn’t forget it this time— Exchange.
