THE 54TH CONGRESS.
ROUTINE OF HOUSE AND SENATE
BRIEFLY CHRONICLED.
Summary of Bills and Resolutions
Presented and AelVd Upon.
THE HOUSE.
In the house, Wednesday, the
speaker announced the appointment of
Mr. Allen, of Utah, to the committee
on public lands in place of Mr. Cur¬
tis, of Kansas, resigned. On motion
of Mr. Bowers, republican, California,
a bill -was passed authorizing the sec¬
retary be fixed of the interior, regulations io
by him, to permit the use of
right of way 'upon public lands for
the purjmse of generating electric
power. George B. McClellan was de¬
clared elected from the 12th district of
New York. A “free home” bill mak¬
ing actual residence on railroad land
grants unnecessary where the lands
have been fenced and improved, was
passsed. A bill granting an American
register to the steamer Miami was also
passed. Oa motion of Mr. W. A.
Stone, republican, Pennsylvania, the
house went into committee of the
whole' on the pension appropriation
bill.
There was an interesting episode in
the house Thursday, inspired by Mr.
Grow, republican, Pennsylvania, who
declaaed that the New York chamber
of commerce in a pamphlet printed by
that body and widely circulated had
cast reflections upon the good faith of
the house. He sent to the clerk’s desk
and had read the extract from the
pamphlet which follows:
“Then came the Alabama claims and
the fisheries dispute, the first being
' decided in our favor and the latter
against us, each side accepting the de¬
cision and paying the award like busi¬
ness men. Then came the seizure of
Canadian sealing vessels by the United
States in Behring sea, which was arbi¬
trated and about §400,000 awarded to
the owners of the seized vessels, which
had not been paid, owing to the failure
.of congress to make an appropriation
therefor and which we are in honor
bound to settle without further delay.”
7 Tjfiis passage having been read, Mr.
Grow demanded to be allowed to speak
.upon it, as a question of privilege, and
was proceeding to speak when Mr.-
Crisp made the point that the pam¬
phlet presented no question of privi¬
lege.
Mr. Grow contended that since re¬
flections upon members of the house
were questions of privilege, one upon
the whole house was much more a
question of privilege. This Mr. Crisp
combatted, but Mr. Grow continued to
speak and said that he would make it a
, question of personal privilege.
“The board of arbitration did not
award a dollar of damages,” Mr. Grow
declared.
“If that had been done, it would be
j dishonest not to pay it and it is a re¬
flection on the house to say that such
an award was made and not paid.”
Here the speaker ruled that no ques¬
tion of privilege was presented,whore-
upon Mr. Grow took his seat, saying:
“Well, I am satisfied.”
The house resumed the consideration
of the pension bill and an order was
adopted that general debate be closed
during the day and the bill be taken
BP by paragraphs Friday under the
five-minute rule.
After a debate continued almost un-
interrupte Uy over five days the general
pension appropriation bill for the year
ending June 30, 1897, was passed by
the house Friday afternoon, which then
adjourned until Monday. The day’s
debate was conducted under the five-
minute rule, the bill being reafi by
paragraphs for amendment. Nonti that
was material was adopted, enforcing Mr.B^rtlett,
democrat, of New York, his
announced policy of opposition to
further extension of pension against legisla¬
tion by raising points of order
them. By tho same device he' suc¬
ceeding in having stricken out off the
bill the provision reported bfr the
committee that “during the fiscall year
it shall be neoessary for a widiw, in
establishing her claim to a pension aett
under the provisions of the of
1890, to prove that she is without other
means of support than her daily laftor;
provided, that before sho shall be in-
titled to a pension under the provis¬
ions of said law she shall prove tbpt
her net income does not exceed §5®0
annum.” I
Mr. W. A. Stone, republican,
Pennsylvania, in charge of tho
announced that its passage
by fifty days the passage of a
bill in either of the last two
congresses.
AmoDg the miscellaneous
transacted was tho passage of a
resolution providing for the distribu-
tion of undelivered sets of the naval
records of the rebellion.
A message was received from the
president asking prompt legislation to
enable the attorney general to prose-
cute litigation in reference to the
granting of patents to lands lying
within forfeited railroad grants.
The cause of Cuban independence
was the subject of Chaplain Couden’s
prayer at the beginning of the session
SYCAMORE. IRWIN COUNTY. GA.. FRIDAY. JANUARY24,1896.
and his invocation that this govern-
ment would do wbat it oould to aid in
securing liberty to the Cubans was
followed by a wave of applause, prob¬
ably the first time that such » demon-
stration ever followed a prayor in the
house.
THE SENATE.
Mr. Mills, democrat, Texas, took
the floor in support of his resolution
introduced Tuesday concerning silver,
bonds, etc. The resolution provides
that the outstanding legal tender notes
shall not be retired, cancelled or fund¬
ed into interest-bearing bonds, but
shall be kept in circulation : that the
whole of the silver bullior' w in the
treasury shall be coined as rapidly as
possible—the coins for tho seigniorage
to be paid out in current expenses and
the rest in the redemption of treasury
notes issued for its purchase; that
whenever there is a deficit in the treas-
ur y» legal tender notes shall be issued
to meet current expenditures and
shall be destroyed when returned
to the treasury, that all laws authoriz¬
ing the sale of int6rest-bearing bonds
shall be repealed; that it is the estab¬
lished policy of the United States not
only to keep all kinds of money issued
under its authority at par, but to re¬
quire all creditors, public and private,
to receive gold and silver coins in pay¬
ment of all obligations where the
terms of the contract stipulate for coin
payment, and that it is the duty of
the secretary to pay United States
notes in both gold and silver coin.
Mr. Mills spoko extemporaneously
and was given close attention. He
first drew attention to the long con¬
tinued antagonism to silver and the
present locking up of the accumula¬
tion of silver in the treasury vaults,
due, he said, to the powerful influence
in this country claiming that the pre¬
rogative of issuing money should be
given to corporations, to expand and
contract as they pleased. The national
bank idea was not a democratic idea,
the democratic policy favored the re¬
tention by the government and the
people of the money-making preroga¬
tive.
Mr. Mills showed the contractions
and expansions of the circulation made
by the banks, and said this system was
now to be perpetuated by further is¬
sues of bonds.
Mr. Mills spoke for about an hour.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.
Peffer took the tloor on the bond bill.
In the senate Thursday, Mr. Allen,
populist, Nebraska, called attention to
..the indefinite postponement of his bill
prohibiting American citizens from
receiving foreign titles, decorations,
etc. It occurred through an over¬
sight of his and he asked that the
measure go to the oalendarfor consid-
ation as the people did not believe in
this undemocratic practice and wanted
it stopped. The request was agreed to.
The Cuban question came up briefly
when Mr. Call offered a resolution di¬
recting the secretary of state to send
to congress all dispatches from United
States consuls in Cuba concerning tho
present war. Illinois,
Mr. Cullom, republican,
presented a resolution which was
agreed to, requesting the state depart¬
ment for information as to whether
naturalized United States citizens of
Armenians birth were allowed to visit
Turkey; whether their families living
in Turkey were allowed to depart for
the United States, and whether Ameri¬
cans living in Turkey had the same
rights as were accorded to citizens of
Great Britain, Germany, France and
Turkey.
Mr. Sewell, republican, offered a
resolution in regard to the policy of
tho United States on the Monroe doc¬
trine.
There was some discussion of the
Call resolution. Mr. Frye pointed out
that the resolution “directed” the sec¬
retary, with the usual proviso that the
information was to be given if in ac¬
cordance with public interest. Mr.
Call insisted that it should be for tho
senate to determine what it wanted.
Mr. Sherman said such requests
should not be made at a time when the
uprising exetended all through the
island of of Cuba. It might prove a
serious embarrassment to our consuls
to have their official advices made pub¬
lic. It might possibly subject them
to prosecution by the Spanish or the
insurgents in the locality of the con¬
suls.
Mr. Call gave notice that he would
move at an early day for the discharge
of the committee on foreign relations
from further consideration of the res¬
olution for the recognition of the Cu¬
bans as belligerents. He would do
this, he said, in order to bring the
^enate to a direct vote on the question

OVER THE STATE.
Being a Summary of Interesting Hap¬
penings From Day to Day.
An effort is being made to raise
money to build a reformatory at Way-
cross for negro children.
Augusta has organized an emigra-
tion society with a capital of §5,000. It
is proposed to push Augusta’s claims
to the front,
The people of Vienna are discussing
the project of building a cotton fairs
tory. One citizen guarantees 50 per
cent, of the capital.
The Athens Banner thinks the North¬
eastern railroad will not bring the
price put on it, and that tho governor
will then lease it.
The retail liquor dealers of Macon
are kicking because the wholesale
dealers only pay the city §50, and are
allowed to sell by the quart, while the
retail license has been raised from
§250 to §500.
The annual meeting of the stock¬
holders of the Southwestern railroad
will be held in Macon February 13
for the election of a president and
seven directors to serve the ensuing
year.
Captain Goodyear thought he had
succeeded in getting 23 feet of water
on the Brunswick bar, but he has been
notified by the government that, while
there has been some improvement, the
bar has not been deepened as much as
is required under his contract. Cap¬
tain Goodyear will continue his work.
A jury in the Rome city court ren¬
dered a verdict granting §1,600 to the
plaintiff in the case of Mrs. Eliza
Daugherty vs. the Keeley Institute,A.
B. McDonald, manager. Mrs. Daugh¬
erty placed her sonin the institute for
treatment last year and he died sud¬
denly. The suit was filed for §15,000
damages, alleging mistreatment. Mc-
Donald filed suit for §10,000 some
time ago for injury to character.
At the meeting of the officers of the
First regiment infantry, Georgia vol¬
unteers, held at Savannah, Colonel
George A. Mercer gave notice of his
intention to tender his resignation to
the governor and asked to be placed
on the retired list. Ccfiopel Mercer
made an eloquent speech in praise of
tho regiment. He was compelled to
resign, he said, on account of his phys¬
ical condition, which prevents him
from being in active command of the
regiment. As soon as his resignation
is accepted another meeting of the
officers will be held to consider the
matter further.
The governor has granted a respite
for Seymour Keener, who was con-
vioted of the murder of Arizona and
Leona Moore, and who was to hang at
Clayton, in Rabun county, last Fri¬
day. Thirty days’ time is granted
him. The case has attracted much
more than ordinary attention, because
of the peculiar circumstances sur-
rounding it, and the governor makes
the respite upon the showing of Keen-
er’s attorneys that new evidence will
be adduced which may induce the gov-
ernor to commute the sentence to life
imprisonment. Judge Estes will bring
action before the ordinary of Rabun
county to examine into the sanity of
Keener. His actions, as stated, were
peculiar for a long time before the
tragedy.

Cunningham’s Trials Ended.
Ex-Oashier Frank E. CunniDgham,
of the Brunswick State bank, who has
passed through two sensational and
affecting.trials on charges of .felony,
which have been fully reported, was
allowed to plead guilty to a misde¬
meanor on last Tuesday. Through his
attorneys he presented an exculpatory
affidavit, in which he said he was
guilty of the offense charged techni¬
cally, but not morally. He was sen¬
tenced to pay a fine of §250 and costs,
whioh he paid, and relieved himself of
further trials under the penal law.
This ended cases that have furnish¬
ed citizens of Brunswick and else¬
where something to talk about for two
years past, involving the interests of
more people than any eases ever before
a Glynn county judge, and effecting a
larger number of business interests,as
it is considered that the turn which
Cunningham’s cases took would indi¬
cate what the direotors may expect
from their indictments.
Last month tho case charging Cun¬
ningham with criminally misrepre¬
senting the condition of the bank in
order to secure deposits resulted in a
mistrial, and this final trial was the
sequel. Judge Sweat
In passing sentence
said he thought the demands of the
law would be fully met by the penalty
imposed, He alluded to the ordeal of
two trials whioh the defendant had to
undergo, and deemed the punishment
sufficient. On the indictment before
the court for felony Cunningham was
acquitted, and his friends are congrat¬
ulating him now on his once more be*
ing a free man.
A Question of Remuneration.
The pardon commission, appointed
by a joint resolution of the senate and
and house at the recent session of the
legislature, met in the capitol a few
days ago and began the work assigned
to it, looking over applications for
pardon, on which it is to roport to tho
governor, who will either accept or
reject the application as he sees fit.
Tho gentlemen appointed ns mem¬
bers of tho commission are Senators
Whitley and Bush and Representa¬
tives Jenkins, Humphries and David¬
son. The resolution under which
they were appointed provided that
they should visit all tho convict camps
in the state and examino into the case
of those prisoners who were seeking
pardons and report to the governor,
either recommending a pardon or rec¬
ommending that one should not be
granted. Then the recommendations
of the commissioners are to be passed
upon by the governor who can accept
them or reject them as he sees fit.
The resolution creating the commis¬
sion was introduced in the senate by
Senator Whitley, and provided that
the commissioners, who were to serve
ninety days, if necessary, should re¬
ceive the regular per diem of a legis¬
lator, four dollars a day, as well as
mileage in going from point to point,
which was sutfieient to cover all their
expenses.
When the commissioners reported to
Governor Atkinson he oalled attention
to the resolution which originated in
tho senate, providing for an appropri¬
ation. Under' the constitution, all
bills or resolutions appropriating
money to bo binding must originate in
the house.
The commissioners were non-plussed,
as Governor Atkinson was inclined to
rule that they could serve, but they
would have to pay their own expenses
and do without the per diem until the
next meeting of the legislature, which
could be trusted to make the appro¬
priation, No decision was giveD, how¬
ever, but the matter was referred to
the attorney general for an opinion.
Mr. Terrell, after looking into the
case, gave it as his opinion that tho
resolution was perfectly legal as far as
it went, but that no money could be
appropriated from the treasury for the
purpose, as there was none for this
fund. He said, that it would be legal
for the governor to allow the work
done and to make his warrants on the
>cohtingent fund. This the governor ■
decided he would do to start the work
at any rate.
When this decision was made the
commissioners went to work at once.
They were given a big batch of pardon
applications that were on the gover¬
nor’s desk and when they have re¬
ported on these it will be decided
when they will begin to hear applica¬
tions.
FREEDOM FOR REDYVINE.
He Will Probably be Released From
’ the Columbus Prison.
Probably within tho next week
Lewis Bedwine will walk out of the
federal penitentiary in Columbus,
Ohio, a free man, and it is likely that
he will make his way back to Atlanta.
The official physician of the peni-
tentiary has forwarded two reports to
Washington. The first gave the facts
in Redwine’s physical condition, and
stated that the life of a convict was
6a ppi ng the man’s vitality, and that
tio would probably die if he was
k ep t to the end of his term,
A few wee ]j S ftg0 another report was
forwarded to Washington. It is un¬
derstood from sources absolutely au-
thentic that the penitentiary physician
urged the necessity of Redwine’s early
release. It stated that he was a cer-
tain victim of insidious consumption,
and that eveu in the bright balm ol
some sunny clime not over two years
of life was left to him.
Backed by the earnest work of hie
attorneys, and with friends working
hard and iaithfully for him, there
seems to be no doubt that Bedwine
will shortly be free. It is stated by
those who know that such a report as
has last been forwarded by the chiel
physician at Columbus is nejer turned
down. And so,- at any day m the near
future, the white face of the unfortu¬
nate man ba seen in Atlanta again.
JAIL BREAKERS AT LARGE.
Prisoners Overpower the Jailer and
Escape.
Six prisoners confined in the Han¬
cock county jail, at Sparta, Ga., over¬
powered Jailer Stewart Thursday
morning and escaped. The jailer car¬
ried breakfast to the cells as usual
and was assaulted as he entered the
jail. A fierce fight ensued in which
the prisoners were successful. Mr.
Stewart could get no one to his aid
and though he fought with all the vim
he could possibly command the pris-,
oners outnumbered him and made a
quick break for liberty. As soon aB
he could recover himself the jailer
notified the sheriff 1 and town officers
and a ptssee was immediately forced.
CAPITAL NOTES.
GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON IN
BRIEF PARAGRAPHS.
Doings of the Chiefs and Heads of the
Various Departments.
The house committee on militaay
affairs has ordered favorably reported
the senate bill repealing the law bar¬
ring from appointment in the army or
navy any person who formerly held a
commission therein and afterwards
joined the Confederacy. The military
aoademy bill was agreed to.
Secretary Herbert will appear before
the senate committee on naval affairs
in obedience to the summons of the
committee, to give what information
he may have in his possession relative
to the contracts made by the navy de¬
partment for of Harveyized steel in armor
naval vessels. The proceedings
will be conducted on tho basis of the
Chandler resolution.
The announcement by the Westmin¬
ster Gazette (London) that the British
government is about to reopen nego¬
tiations with Venezuela o'n the bound¬
ary question puts an entirely new face
upon the condition of matters at Wash¬
ington and is causing a good deal of
talk as to its bearing upon the presi¬
dent’s Venezula message,and the events
which have followed it.
It was expected that the senate
committee on foreign relations would
report the Monroe doctrine resolu¬
tion to the senate Wednesday, but ac¬
tion was deferred until Friday, when
a special meeting will be called. The
delay was partly due to a Hawaiian
cable hearing given during the early
hours of the session, and the decision
of Mr. Turpie to still further consider
the subject before taking definite and
positive action. All members of the
committee were present but Mr. Mills.
The house committee on appropria¬
tions Saturday completed the urgency
deficiency appropriation bill. It car¬
ries a total of §4,415,922, divided as
follows: Office of the public printer,
§583,000; state department, §36,000;
treasury, §449,987; District of Co¬
lumbia, §34,059; war department,
§366,578; navy department, §810;
interior department, $34,500; depart¬
ment of ‘jUBtatre, §5,714; judicial, •>

THE FRYING SQUADRON.
Its Destination Not Definitely Known
by Outsiders.
A London cable letter states that
though the destination Jof the flying
squadron cannot be definitely known
until it is nearing the point fixed by
the sealed orders under which it sails,
it is an accepted faot among the offi¬
cers of the squadron that its course
will be towards the West Indies. Re¬
port says that the fleet will proceed
either to Bridgetown, Barbadoes or
Port of Spain, island of Trinidad,
which lies directly north of Venezuela.
The officials at the admiralty when
questioned on the subject protest that
they are in entire ignorance of where
the squadron will be sent, but it can
be stated that within the admiralty
circles it is taken that, bb it has been
decided to send the vessels to the
southwest, their course will be some¬
where near Venezuela.- The squadron
is commissioned for three years, and it
is not intended that it shall be station¬
ed long at any ono point.

BISHOP HAYGOOD DEAD.
The Venerable Divine's Earthly La>
bor's Ended.
Attious G. Haygood died at Oiford,
Ga., at 2 o’olook Sunday morning.
The end was as peaceful as of a child
falling asleep. He was surrounded by
his immediate family and intimate
friends.
During his last hours there were
with him Bishop Duncan, Drs. W. B. ■
Stradley, W. A. Candler, Rev. L. H.
Harris, Kev. S. H. Dimon and other
intimate friends.
Sketch of Bishop Haygood.
Bishop Atticus Greene Haygood was
born in Watkinsvillle, Ga., November
19th, 1839, and graduated from Emory
college in 1859. He was licensed to
preach during his senior year and
joined the Georgia conference at its
session next succeeding his gradua¬
tion. He served in the various rela¬
tions of pastor, presiding elder and
army chaplain until 1870, when ho was
elected editor of the Sunday school
publications of the Methodist Episco¬
pal church, south. He continued in
tho editorial work until the autumn of
1875, when he resigned and was im¬
mediately elected to the presidency of
his alma mater, in which work he con¬
tinued until 1884.
During 1878-82 he combined with
his college work the editing of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, the offi¬
cial organ of Georgia and Florida
Methodism, and under his editorship
the paper attained an influence second
to none in the church.
In May, 1882, he was elected one of
the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, but declined ordina¬
tion because he felt at that time that
he could not lay down the college
work he had in hand. In the latter
part of 1882 he was made agent of the
John F. Slater fund, which he admin¬
istered two years while continuing the
presidency of the college, and thereaf¬
ter until 1890, devoted his attention
exclusively to the work of the Slater
fund.
In May, 1880, he was again elected
bishop.
Bishop Haygood is one of the strong¬
est men in the Methodist church. He
devoted his life’s labor to the work of
extending the interests, of the churfth.
As president of Emory college he did
a wonderful work, and it was through
his efforts that the Seney ball was se¬
cured. During u&i his -atvm&sd. administration
there was in appro-
priat'ous.
Upon his resignation at Emory^
Bishop Hayoodg m ade a trip establish¬ to Cali¬
fornia with the purpose of
ing a conference there. Quite a num¬
ber of well known divines of the
southern church followed him there
and located permanently in California.
He was called from California ■ to
accept the position of bishop. He de¬
voted all his energies to the work of
the church recently, and it was on, a
trip to a conference in Tennessee that
he was first stricken with paralysis.
This occurred early in November and
it was thought at the time that he was
fatally affected.
CAMPOS FORCED TO RESIGN.
Rumors Cabled from Cuba Seem to
l>e Verified.
Minister Dupuy de Lome, Spanish
minister at Washington late Friday
the afternoon received a cablegram from
duke of Tetuan, minister of for¬
eign affairs at Madrid, saying that
“the official news from Cuba and the
state of the insurrection are as satis¬
factory as telegraphed previously. In¬
dependently of the military action the
government has authorized Martinez
Campos to resign his command to
General Marin and return to Spain in
consequence of tho conduct of the po¬
litical parties of Cuba contrary to the
policy of the commander in chief,ask¬
ing a change in the way of conducting
the war.”
Senor de Lome does not think the
change in command at this juncture
will have any injurious effect on the
campaign. Spain has shown a readi¬
ness to agree to the retirement of Gen¬
eral Campos on the request of leading
loyal citizens of Cuba, who found, as
has been stated, when General Campos
was first sent to Cuba, that he was
disposed to be lenient with tho insur¬
gents. He was frequently criticised,
however, justly for being too concilia¬
tory. As shown by its dispatch the
government is perfectly satisfied with
the state of the campaign generally,
and does not borrow any trouble as
long as the rebels are controlled with¬
in a small territory.
BIG CUT IN WAGES.
Westlngliouse Electric Company Cur¬
tailing Expenses.
Friday morning 380 men and 250,
women, employes of the Westinghouse
Electric Company, in East Pittsburg,"
Pa., were notified of a 25 per cent,
reduction in their wages. ,At,noon
they decided that the reduction was
unjust, since for some time they have
been-able to make only half time, and
quit work in a body.. It is rumored
that wage reductions in other depart¬ tile
ments will be ordered, and that
1,000 men affected will also refuse.to
continue work. > >> -
