3ARTER TO TELL HIS STORY
S'ashington, September 27.—(Special.)—
ny friends of Captain O. M. Carter,
merly an engineer officer, who is serv
out a term of five years in prison at
t Leavenworth, Kans., say he con
iplates turning state's evidence and
(earing as a prosecuting witness
linst Greene and Gaynor, who are
olved in the famous military scandal
wing out of the river and harbor
Approvement at Savannah, Ga.
IThe announcement that Captain Carter
| roposed to try and recover from the gov
■nment over $750,000 worth of prop
•ty, seized by the United States authori
es after he was convicted of embezzle
lent by a court martial, has brought to
zht the sensational declaration from,
arter that he has been made a victim of
conspiracy by Greene and Gaynor and
» soon as he obtains his freedom he
•oposes to prove that he was not the
rincipai offender against the I nited
tatos government in the Savannah har
ir fraud.
The court martial which tried and con
cted Captain Carter sentenced him to
, dismissed from the service and im
■isoned at Port Leavenworth for a term
i f five years. Allowing one month to be
i ’ducted from each v ar on accourc. of
■nod behavior, Carter’s term of Impris
onment ends on the 28th of November
■Th" sane powerful political, social and
stancial interests which defended Carter |

V: ti-’ii are again actively at work in his

time recover the property of which he
claims to have been unjustly deprived.
It is alleged that he was a victim of
circumstances and that he is now pie
pared to battle for his rights without
regard to what effect his disclosures
may have upon others. It is claimed
that he has borne in silence the dis
grace ot being dishonorably discharged
from the United States army, worn a
convict's garb and suffered such indig
nities as preclude him from ever occupy
ing the position of confidence and esteem
he once held, and now the time has
arrived to tell all liq knows and en
deavor to save some of his property,
even if he cannot redeem his reputa
tion.
In army circles the feeling that pre
viously existed agplnst Carter has eon
. siderably softened because of his once
brilliant record and his personal popu
larity. The opinion now prevails that
he has already suffered sufficiently for
his misdeeds, and there is no disposi
tion to prosecute him further. Within
a few weeks he will have served out
his term of Imprisonment and estab
lished a record for exemplary conduct
never excelled at Fort Leavenworth. Al
though the war department and the
department of justice have worked to
gether to a certain limit in the Carter
case and also the Greene and Gaynor
case, the military branch of the service
has no means officially of knowing what
discoveries United States District At
torney Erwin has made to implicate
Garter with Greene and Gaynor.
The officials of the department of jus
tice, in pursuing their Investigation of
I the charges against Greene and Gaynor,
obtained posesslon of various checks and
other securities belonging to Carter.
Circumstantial and other evidence is said
to have been obtained which showed that
Carter had received his share of the
funds alleged to have been embezzled
from the government. Seme of the most
distinguished accountants in this country.
i among them Conrad Jordan, former treas
urer of the United States, were called
into consultation and they estimated that
Carter received probably about fifteen per
cent of the total amount lost to the gov
ernment. It was upon the findings of
these experts that District Attorney Er
win seized and has held up to the pres
ent time the $750,000 worth of property
belonging to Carter.
Now Carter's friends come forward and
say that this amount far exceeds the
most liberal estimate of Carter's alleged
share of the spoils. They assert that
Carter may have been careless In his offi
cial accounts and extravagant in his
personal expenditures but they insist that
he will be able to demonstrate before a
civil court that he neither directly or
. indirectly, received from any business
! transaction with Greene and Gaynor an
amount which would aggregate anything
like $750,000 They admit that he was
indiscreet and may have been guilty of
some questionable transactions while on
duty at Savannah.
Will Be Lionized When Released.
Notwithstanding this, his social posi
tion has not been seriously impaired,
either in Washington. New York or Sa
vannah. It Is said that some of the so
cial leaders ot these three cities have
j avowed their intention to give him a cor
i dial welcome back to society after Car-
I ter's release from Fort Leavenworth.
; One influential woman goes so far as to
' announce her intention of giving the
' swcllest reception of the season in his
j honor. There are others ready to follow
I her example.
NEGRO QUESTION IS DEBATED.
Booker Washington Is Condemned
by Alabama Solons.
Montgomery. Ala.. September 22.—(Spe
cial.)—The negro question was discussed
at ’ength this afternoon by the mem
bers of the house, when a bill was called
up to appropriate $2,500 additional an
nualy to a negro school located in this
city.
Booker Washington's methods were con
demned by several members. The kill
was finally passed by the close vole of
41 to 39.
Mr. Wood, who comes from Tuskegee,
where Washington's school is loeateci, was
severs in his denunciation of Washington
and his methods, lie said, in part;
"The Rev. Sam Jones has been told
by Washington and has printed the state
ment that not one of his (Washington’s)
students has been in the penitentiary. A
bigger be than that has never been told.
The i nly two legal hangings in my coun
ty were students of Washington's school,
I and they were charged w.th rape. Wash-
I ington himself has prosecuted < ume or. his
! students In tne courts of my city.
"The records of the courts will show
that some of ’Washingtons pupils have
been convicted of every crime known,
and that there is not a student of Wash
ington’s school living in my county that
is now earning an honest living. I am
opposed to giving money to educate the
negro along industrial lines."
Mr. Simpson, ot Lauderdale, said that
Mr. Woo<j .lid not represent the senti
ments of the south. The members dis
cussed the race question all the afternoon
session—pro and con.
Mr. Verner, of Tuscaloosa, said:
"God knows. 1 don't favor social equal
ity. or anything fike it, but the people
of Alabama owe the negro .something, and
it should be paid. There ts not a man
upon the floor of this house that has
[ no* gotten money from the sweat of the
I negro’s brow, wljo worked and toiled f or
I him."
I These speeches and the strong opposi
tion to tin. bill created considerable sur-
I prise.

ASKS TO SERVE FOR FATHER.
Rushin. of Albany, ’Ga., Wants To
Don Convict Stripes.
There has come to the attention of Gov
ernor Terrell a strange, pathetic instance
of filial devotion. W. P. Rushin. of Al
bany, has written for permission to don
stripes and take his aged father's place
in the penitentiary, where the latter is
serving a life sentence.
There arc no embroideries of rhetoric in
that letter; nothing but plain cold facts
and the grimly simple request for permis
sion to say goodby to hope and happiness
and precious liberty, permission for one
young man to suffer for the sake of an
old one, for a. father's sake.
There has rarely ever been such an
other request preferred of a governor of
Georgia, never one just like this, and the
law and the statutes arc silent. They
provide no means for granting what is
asked.
This is the letter and it tells its own
story;
“Albany. September 21. To His Excel
lency Governor J. M. Terrell, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir—-Mme is a strange request. My
father is incarcerated in the state peniten
tiary under life sentence. He lias been
there for eight years. There is not a. miti
gating circumstance connected with his
crime upon which to base hopes of a par
don. His record as a citizen and in his
family was exemplary up to the. com
mission of the crime. He longs for free
dom. 1 can see no way to obtain it for
him except by substitutionary suffering
for him. Is such allowable? If so, I am
willing to take his place fora period, at
least while he has temporary liberty bo
fore he dies. Can ‘ you grant my request ?
Os course 1 will agree to serve out his life
sentence as per his life expectancy,
should he from any cause fail to report nt
the penitentiary at the expiration of the
time given him for his liberty. Yours
sincerely. W. P. RUSHIN.
The crime for which the elder Rushin
is incarcerated was murder. Through a
business difference he became enraged al
a man named Lilly, superintendent of a
Sunday school at Mtcalf, Ga. One Sun
day morning Rushin went to th:r Sunday
school and in the presence of the little
children there he shot at Lilly, who ran.
Rushin followed, emptying a pistol at his
fleeing victim. When I.illy was finally
shot down Rushin went up and cut the
dead man’s throat with a. knife while Lil
ly’s children watched the ghastly work.
This occurred some nine years ago.
Governor Terrell has referred the letter
to the prison commission and it may be
that the unselfish offer of the son will re
sult in a mitigation of the fathers sen
tence.
DICK'S REFLY TO CHALLENGE.
Sent By Hon. John H. Clarke to Sen
ator Hanna for Joint Debate.
Columbus. Ohio. September 27.—The re
ply of Chairman Dick, of the republican
state committee, to Chairman Salon, of
the democratic state committee, declin
ing the challenge of John 11. Clarke,
democratic nominee for United States
senator, to a joint ’debrsto with Senator
M. A. Hanna, was given out tonight.
Chairman Dick says in part:
"I regret, that condor compels me to
say that 1 find s.me rather serious ob
jections to the conditions oi your pro
posal. There ought to be some such
quality as mutuality in a joint discus
sion. Mr. Hanna’s party has but ono
set of principles, wlvle Mr. Clarke's party
las a vast assortment of principles,
sounding the entire gamut from doctrine
to dogma—democratic, populistic, agra
rian and socialistic.
"There is a tariff. How does Mr.
Clarke stand on that i.-site? His party
stards all over it. In New England it
is for free raw material and for pro
tected finished products; in Texas it is
for protected raw material and for tree
finished products.
"Dees Mr. Clarke favor a. tariff for
icvenue only, or a tariff for revenue with
incidental protection? Js he a Gorman
tariff democrat, or a Johnson no-tariff
democrat? If he favors any kind of a
tariff let him debate with Mr. Johnson,
who is an absolute free trader and would
repeal every tariff and internal revenue
law and sell all the custom houses.
"Mr. Clarke has all the strings to his
bow, and more, too. What chance does
Mr. Hanna, who has only one string to
his bow, have in disputation with such
a man? Mr. Hanna stands pat. When
Mr. Clarke joins a. party that stands pat

in bis Akron speech that that platform

he believe In them, or does he favor

supremacy plank lately adopted by the
Maryland democratic state convention as
its poorly concealed threat to entirely

THROUGH WITH MILLER CASE.
President Says He Has Already De
fined His Position.
Oyster Bay, September 27.—1 n view of
statements published that the president
on his return to Washington would hold
a conference on the Miller case with
prominent officials representing organized
labor, it is announced that the president
lias no Intention of conferring with any
body regarding that case. Ills position, it
is pointed out, was defined clearly In his
published letters to Secretary Cortelyou.
The principle enunciated in those let
ters was framed in accordance with the
statutes of the United States, and on it
the president expects to stand. If a
hearing on the merits of the Miller case
is desired by those who are endeavoring
to have the man dismissed from the gov
ernment service the president may grant
it precisely as he might a hearing to any
other body of citizens on a question of
public interest or importance, but it is
not tho president's purpose to enter upon
a discussion of the principle already laid
down.
"In a King Cambyses' Vein.’’
Cambyses, king of tho Persians,
Sat with his lords at play
Where the shades of tho broad plane
branches
Slanted athwart the way.
And he listened and heard Prexaspes
Tell to his fellows there
Os a Bactrian bowman’s prowess.
And"skill beyond compare.
And the heart of the king was bitter.
And he turned apd said to him:
"Dost see on the greensward yrnder
That plane-tree's slender limb?
"It stands far off in the gloaming—
Do 1 think thy jjactrian could
With a single shait unerring
Smite through that slender wood?”
"But. nay." then said Prexaspes,
"Nor ever mortal man
Since the days when Nimrod hunted
Where great Euphrates ran.”
Then Cambyses. son of Cyrus.
Looked, and before him there.
Meres, the king's cup-bearer,
Stood where the wine flowed clear.
Meres, the king's cup-bearer,
Prexaspes’ only son.
And the heart, of the king was hardened.
And the will of the king was done.
And he said: "Bind Meres yonder
To the plane-tree's sl< ider stem,
And give me yon sheaf o arrows
And the bow that lies by th<m."
And so. when the guards had bound him,
He drew tjie shaft to tho head;
"Give heed! Give heed, Prexaspes,
J aim for the heart!" lie said.
Sharp through the twilight stillness
Echoed the steel bow's twang;
Loud through the twilight stillness
The courtiers’ plaudits rang.
And the head of the poy drooped down
ward.
And the quivering shaft stood still;
And thq king said: ’O. Prexaspes.
Match I thy Bactrian’s skill?”
Then low before Cambvses
The Satrap bowed h s head —
"O. great king, live forever!
Thou hast cleft the heart!" he said.

PHILIPPINE FOREIGN TRADE.
Big Increase in Exports and Imports
Is Shown.
Washington, September 27.—The re
turns of Philippine commerce for May,
1903, about to bo published by the bureau
of insular affairs of the war department,
show the foreign trade of the island ag
gregated for t’ne month $6,872,982, exclu
sive of government supplies and gold and
silver being even greater than that re
ported for April of the present year, tho
value of which exceeded that for any sin
glc month since American occupation.
Importations amounted to $3,391,655,
being considerably in excess of the
monthly average as a result of heavy
purchases of food stuffs, rice Imports
alone approximating nearly a million
and three-quarter dollars worth. The
outgoing trade for the month of May in
cluded Philippine products to the
value of $3,481,327. For eleven months
ended May 31, 1903, the total trad»
amounted to $60,576,245, while for the
corresponding period of 1902 the value
was $50,824,090.
The gain indicated by the foregoing
figure is due to the extraordinary in
crease in exports, especially of hemp,
which shows a trade of $19,606,211 in
the eleven months ended May 31, 1903.
as against $14,513,875 in the same period
of 1902
Copra shipments are also on the In
crease and the exportation or this prod
uct now ranks second in importance, fol
lowed by sugar and tobacco. A material,
decrease is shown in the cigar trade as
compared with record figures tor the
previous year.
Customs revenues to the value of SB,-
500,000 were collected during the eleven
months of 1903, an increase amounting
to over a million dollars, as compared
with tile previous year.

London, September 27.—The uneasiness
concerning the money market both in
London and New York resulted in com

untelieved depression. Renewed realiza

produced a heavy fall in prices except in
the foreign department, which received
strong support from I’aijs, where the be
lief prevails that the talked-of war in the

tend to improve the situation. Americans

""..r CATARRH OF STOMACH ZT
A Beautiful Michigan Belle Cured of Catarrh of the
Stomach by Pe=ru=na.
Louise Matt, Battle Creek, Mich.,
writes:
“I can only say what others have
said before me, that Peruna is a most
wonderful medicine for catarrhal and
stomach troubles.
“I suffered so long with indiges
tion and dyspepsia, and tried so
•many things to cure me, without re
lief, that I made up my mind my
case was hopeless. One of «ny friends
advised me to try Peruna for a
month, assuring me that I could not
fail to find from its use some relief
and possibly a cure. So I took new
courage and bought a bottle of Peru
na, determined to give it a thorough
trial, which I did. In just six
weeks I was entirely rid of my stom

McCullough Bros.’ Fruit and Produce
Letter.
Atlanta. September 26.—The feeling in
fruit and produce is very strong, and
continuing to become more so as the
season progresses.
Apple receipts are very liberal, which
is causing prices to decline, but only
in a moderate way. It will be neces
sary for cool weather to authorize a
strong and general consumption in these
goods.
Bananas continue to advance, and it
has been a proposition to meet trade re
quirements for more than two weeks.
Lemons are somewhat inactive, and we
anticipate no material change in prices
for some time to come.
pineapple receipts have been heavy for
ten days, which has caused a weak mar
ket and low prices.
The handling of Florida oranges so
far this season has been very unsatis
factory. owing to the stock being very
inferior and not what the trade wanted.
