■ Washington, August 16.—The opin
ion rendered April 16th last by Judge
, of the United States court of

"yl interest at this time. As is well

, bill w become a law without the presi
dent signature. That the pjosideut i
pi’ -sue this course there seems to
ct: little doubt, and this will necessitate
, congress remaining in session until a
( week from next Friday or Saturday.
, The opinion rendered by Judge Nott
was the first ever given on the point in
question, and held, in effect, that tho
president has the right under the con-
I stitution to approve a bill after an ad
journment of congress, provided his ac
, tion was taken within ten days, exclu
, sive of Sundays, after the bill reaches
t him. It had become a tradition that
such an act would be unconstitutional,
and would operate to invalidate the act.
j The opinion of Judge Nott has been
. widely commented upon, but it is the
. opinion of many high authorities,
. among them Chief Justice Thomas M.
, Cooley of Michigan and Justice Strong
(retired) of the United States Supreme
court, that Judge Nott's conclusions are
, entirely sound and right.
FROM FISTS TO PISTOLS.
t
, Deadly Duel Between Two Prominent
Vonng South Carolinians at Fort Motto.
. Columbia, S. C., August 16.—At Fort
j Motte, this state yesterday afternoon,
. Dr. Charles Taber shot and probably fa
; tally wounded Hiram Darby. Both of
the young men are highly connected.
t The difficuley arose because of some al
leged impoliteness on the part of Dr.
Taber to one of Mr. Da'rby’s sisters.
. Yesterday afternoon they met in the
. depot at Fort Motte, and the subject
• was brought up. Both became angry,
■ and it was agreed to go outside and
. fight it out with fists. This they began
to do, when Darby got Dr. Taber down
and was pumeling him in the face,
whereupon Dr. Taber drew a pistol cut
; of his pocket and shot Darby behind
the ear. Darby was unconscious for
. some time, but rallied and is still alive,
but his death is almost certain to re-
L suit.

Finance Committee Will (lo Through.
Washington, August 16.—1 t was sta
ted this morning by those in charge of
. affairs in the senate that the motion to
, refer the free sugar bill to the commit
, tee on finance will prevail today when
it comes to a vote. Those democrats
who have been insisting upon the duty
on coal and iron ore were, after adjourn
ment, given to understand that all the.
pop-gi n bills would be treated alike I
and that if sugar was made free, coal
and iron ore would meet the same. fate.
It is said that upon the motion to refer,
six republicans and two populists Peffer j
and Stewart, will vote against it and
that thirteen democrats and two popu- J
lists, Alien and Kyle, will vote in favor ‘
of it.
A majority of 5 to 7 is figured out in i

NEW PARTY ON DECK
Efforts Under Way Looking to Its
Development in Pennsylvania.
REFORM, NOT THE NAME BUT MOTTO.
Convention Called to Meet at. Braddock,
and Arrangements for a Popular
Demonstration, IJrunsvvick
Stew and Music Galore.
Pittsbuiig, Pa., August 16.—Promi
nent men of Pittsburg, Braddock and
surrounding country have joined in an
lur r bw rn
Braddock for the organization of a par
ty of reform, in which the word “re
form” is not to be’used ; of economy, in
which the word ’‘economy” is eschewed,
and the slogan of which is “a reduction
of public expenses. ’ If plans that.abe
already proposed arc realized, it will be
the greatest thing western Pennsylvania
has developed in a political way since
the organization of the republican par
ty tu Pittsburg in 1856.
What is proposed as an initial move is
a great barbecue, with speeches by
prominent people. Steamboats that
will traverse the Monongahela all day
and carry thousands of people from ev
ery available point, with brass bands
galore, and all the other accessories of
a great popular demonstration. The na
tional party, proposed some time ago by
a Braddock man, is not dead as has been
said. During the last six weeks quiet,:
but effective, work has been going on,
until now it is an assured thing that a
great demonstration by the people will
be held there.
Up to date about SI .000 has be(ffi sub
scribed by men of standing to carry on
the preliminaries.
Republicans and democrats have
joined together in the move to make a
strike against the alleged abuses of the
existing system of government. Among
them are Capt. S. S. Brown, who is at
the head of the great coal firm of W.
11. Brown’s Sons; his brother, (’apt.
Harry Brown ; W. W. O’Neill, another
big coal man ; James Gayle, supeHn
tendent of the Edgar Thomson stijel
works; Senator John Gdutli, G, W.
Schmidt cf the wholesale liquor firm of
Scmidt & Friday, both Pittsburg bank
ers ; Paul Hacke, a large dry goods deal
er, and many others of equal note.
It is proposed to hold the barbecue in
Hawkins Hollow, where Braddock and
Pankin boroughs join, a place where
20.000 people can assemble to advantage.
Several leading lawyers of the Pitts
burg bar have volunteered to be present
and make speeches.

WHEN THE BILL BECOMES LAW.
The New Tariff Rates are Legal After the
Midnight the President Signs.
Washington, August 16. —The new
tariff bill will go into effect at midnight
on the day it. receives the approval of
the president or becomes a law by the
operation of the ten day limitation, and
not from August Ist, as provided in the
measure. An examination of the au
thorities made at the treasury depart
ment shows that a law cannot take ef
fect upon a date prior to its enactment.
And. the federal supreme court has sus
tained this view under the ex-post facto
provision of the constitution. This is
the view of the treasury department
and the announcement is made because
of the 1!o<xl of telegrams received there
indicating some confusion upon the
point.

From the Guillotine tlw Young Anarchists
Shouts Courage to His Comrades '

I.lto of Anarchy.
Lyons. August 16.—Santo Caesario,
the murderer of President Carnot, was
guillotined at 5 o'clock this morning.
A St-wjninuttmljefore five o'clock the
condemned man was led from his cell to
the guillotine. His arms were flnnly
hound behind him. When the attend
ants seized him to lay him under the
kniftjfehe struggled fiercely to free him
self.' At 4:58 o’clock all was ready.
■Ccasario shouted: “Courage Comrades,
long live anarchy.” The knife fell at 5
o'clock precisely anti Caesario's head
dropped into the basket.
The crime for which the young an
archist pays the penalty is well n mem
bered. He it was who drove the deadly
dagger to the heart of France's late be
loved President. M. Carnut, on that fa
mous Sunday night in June. Santo was
an unusually intelligent youth for his
class, distinctly superior to the run of
low-browed, vicious creatures who re- 1
sort to the weapons; of the assassin. He 1
was just twenty-two years of age. At
school he was a studious pupil, rather
bright and unxioua to learn. After the
short period which the circumstances of
his family, who were common laboring
people, permitted him to spend in re- ;
ceiving regular instruction he employed ,
his spare time in reading and became
attracted toward the. school of political
economists who advocate murder and ,
the destruction of property us neces- ,
sary steps toward political reform. It .
was in 18111 that he embraced anarch
ism, and in the following year he was i
sentenced to a term of imprisonment at .
Milan for having distributed anarchist ,
pamphlets among the troops there. I n
1893 he left Milan and Italy to take up i
his abode in France. It is believed that ,
he first settled down in the neighbor- ;
hood of Lyons.

Report of Chairman Kdmunde Before tlio
Southern Exchange Aaaoolatlon.
New York, August 15.—The execu
tive committee of the Southern Ex
change association held its first meet
ing yesterday in the office of H. R.
Garden, the president. The committee
heard the report of 11. 11. Edmunds,
chairman of the committee for the col
lection of information on the southern
cotton manufacturing interests. This
report stated that there are about 15.-
(100,000 cotton spindles in the United
States. They represent an investment,
including all classes of manufactures,
of over 3400,000,000. Os this number
the south has in round numbers 2,200,-
000 spindles, and the capital invested is
about §97,000,000. The world has about
85,000,000 spindles.
“The south produces nearly sixty per
cent of the entire cotton crop of the
world, and if it manufactured this it
would need over twenty times as many
spindles as it has, or about 50,000.000,
and the capital needed would exceed
81,300,000.000. The total annual value
of the product of these mills would be
equal to the present value of three full
cotton crops. In the ■Hast eighteen
years the cotton crops of the south
have sold for nn aggregate of nearly
i $6,000,000,000. before they reached the
1 consumer their value increased to 818,-
I 1100,000,009 or 820.000,000,000. This (mor
mons business creating wealth wher
ever established, is the prize for which
the south has now commenced to con
tend.”

LEVI MORTON COMING HOME.
Concmleil That Ho Will Accept the Itopub*
llcan Nomination for Governor.
New York, August 16. —A special
from Paris says : Hon. Levi P. Morton,
who has just arrived here from Switzer
land, said today: “I shall sail for New
York on the steamship Normandie on
next Saturday. I have been absent
from New York so long that I cannot
judge at this distance the real political
situation. When I get home and have
an opportunity to learn how matters
stand I will consider the question of
candidacy for the governorship.”
Politicians today expressed the opin
ion that ex-Viee-President Levi P Mor
ton would accept the republican nomi
nation for governor. The cable mes
' sage stating that he could not decide
whether he would accept or not until
his arrival here was not taken to indi
cate that he might find some possible
serious reason for his declining.
No business interests it was believed,
would prevent his occupancy of the
gubernatorial chair for the next, two
years. Mr. George Bliss, Mr. Morton’s
partner in the firm of Morton, Bliss &
Co., bankers, corner of Nassau and Ce
dar streets, said that he could read no
deeper meaning in Mr. Morton’s tele
gram than anybody else could gather.
“I cannot, ot course, tell what Mr.
Morton's real sentiments are,” he added.
“There is, however, nothing in Ids bus
iness affairs that I know of which
should militate against his acceptance
of the nomination if tendered him.”
GREAT SYSTEWTCOMPLETED.
Another Rond to the Vast Milage of the
Southern Hallway Company.
Atlanta, August 10.—Today the
Southern railway company will add an
other road to its vast mileage, the
Louisville Southern, running from
Louisville to Lexington. The road is
about eighty-seven miles in length,
running through the heart of the blue
grass region. 'There are branch lines
to Lawrenceburg and Bergin, on the
Queen and Crescent. The East Tennes
see, in other words the western system
of the Southern, has a branch to Harri
man, ’Tennessee, which is also on tho
Queen and Crescent. 'Through these
connections the Southern railway has
an outlet to the Ohio river. It makes
a most important ally. There is also a
branch of the Louisville Southern from
Versailles to Georgetown. The road
comes into the. hands of the Southern
railway through the circumstances
that the East Tennessee people also
held a controlling part of the stock.
The road will be sold tixlay under an
order from the. court, and after that
time will be operated by the Southern.
Saturday comes the sale of the Georgia
Pacific in this city, at which Mr. Spen
cer, Mr. Stetson, general counsel, and
Assistant Crawford will be present.
When this road comes into the fold it
will, together with the acquisition of
the Louisville Southern, about com
plete the southern combination as con
templated by Mr. Sam. Spencer.

$52,779,000, a gain during the past few

several points below the shipping point
and now that business is not subject to

TEXAS - GREAT CONVENTION STILL ON.
The Nomination of Colbennn for Governor
Conceded On All Sides -The Platform
Agreed t'pon But. Not Vet Sub
mitted to the Convention.
Dallas, August tb.—The state demo
cratic convention was promptly called
to order at 9 o’clock yesterday. There
seemed no diminution in the numbers
present. The great building was packed
as on Tuesday. Neither of the com
mittees being ready to report, a recess
was taken till 2p. m. At the afternoon
session W. It. Hamby was made perma
nent chairman, W. L. Sargent secreta
ry. Mr. Hamby on taking the chair
made an eloquent speech, counselling
unity and harmony in the state and
national party. The first tiial of
strength between the candidates then
took place. It was upon a motion to
adopt the majority instead of the two
thirds rule. After a two hours debate
a call of the roll resulted in the major- >
ity report being- adopted by ninety
three majority. This is conceded as a
decided victory for Culberson. The
Reagan and Lanham delegates voted
solidly against it. It looks very much
like Culberson will be chosen for gov
ernor.
The committee on platform has noil
yet reported, but the following is the
third and fourth sections of the plat
form agreed upon and which wijj bo
reported by the minority:
Third—We heartily commend and en
dorse the administration of our demo
cratic president, Grover Cleveland. In
the elevation of official integrity, the
reduction of government expenditures,
the wise and patriotic treatment cf the
pension question, the firm insistence
upon respect abroad, on land and sea,
to the United States flag, the efforts to
reduce custom duties to a strictly reve
nue basis and the passage of a tariff
bill embodying an income tax, the
prompt repeal of the federal election
laws, and we stand pledged and ready
to aid all faithful exertions of the ad
ministration in the execution of the
demands of our party platform.
Fourth—We hold to the use of both
gold and silver ns the standard money
of the country nnd to the coinage of
both metals without discrimination
agHinsUußher or charge for mintage,
but the dollar unit of coinage of both
metals shall'be adjusted by such safe
guards of legislation asshall insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power of every
dollar at all limi-sin ihe markets end
in the paynumt of tlebtfl. and we be
lieve that this parity and purchasing
power will bo maintained by the free
and unlimited coinage of both metals
at the- ratio of 16 tb 1, we therefore
favor the immediate restoration of sil
ver coinage as it existed prior to 1873,
and if upon a fair and impartial trial it
shall be determined that this ratio will
not keep the two metals in circulation
on a parity with each other, then to be
readjusted to the end that the money
of the people shall lie such in quantity
and quality as was originally contem
plated by the constitution, and we fur
ther demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at pur with and redeema
ble in such coin.
