■ Frankfort. Ky., April 2.-Tbe Alack
burn forces are beginning to believe
there will be no election of a
States senator at the extra session and
they will light accordingly. There
seems to be only two chances for an
election; first, that che gold democrats
foroe the silver democrats to carry out
their bluff to elect Bradley; and sec
ond, that Senator Henry L. Martin,
gold democrat, is put through as a
compromise candidate.
Hunter has given out the following
statement: “I was fairly nominated
ia a republican caucus, in which
nearly all of the republican members
participated. I shall remain the nom
inee for senator until the nomination
is withdrawn from me by a majority
of the same body which commissioned
me.”
The silver democrats prevented a
quorum at today’s joint session. Only
05 members, including gold democrats,
answered to their names. One ballot
was taken, ft resulted: Hunter 55;
Davie 7, Boyle 1. The silver demo
crats and two others refused to an
swer to their names.
The Hunger people said the reason
the opposition broke a quorum was
that they feared some more members
were comiug to Hunter today. The
real reason was that the gold demo
crats were about to spring the name
of Senator H. L. Martin, and the
Blackburn people were atraid o,f the
risk at this juncture,
After the joint session, Snator
Martin said that the movemlft to
make him a candMgte was wholly un
authorized.
CABINET QUITS
Austria’s Ministry Goes Out for
Want of a Majority.
Vienna, April 2.—Count Badeni,
prime minister of Austria, tendered

ignations of himself and his entire

The reason for the resignation of the

deni found it impossible to maintnin
a liberal majority in the reoently
elected reichsrath. The emperor has
requested Count Badeni to form a
new ministry.

nona, near Baya Honda Key last Mon
day, returned to this city this morh
ing.

ture ot the tug was an outrage as she
was violating no law. He says that
he was on board prospecting
the sponge fields with a view of
Tfotrrg—tnto- the —sponging —business,
but that he has given up the
idea in disgust, for if he has to take
the chances of being arrested every

MOUNTAIN GUNS FOR CRETE.
Feared That if the Powers Blockade
Greece Serious Trouble Will Oc
cur on Thessaly Frontier.
Constantinople, April 2.—The re
ports of fighting in Crete, which are
being received here daily, are making
a very sad impression upon the gov
ernment and people alike, and in con
sequence the porte has informed the
representatives of the Turkish gov
ernment abroad that the present posi
tion is no longer tenable. This infor
mation is accompanied by a declara
tion on the part of tbe porte that un
less a settlement of the Cretan diffi
culty shall be speedily reached tbe
porte will propose to tbe powers that
Turkey take matters into her own
hands. It is also feared that a block
ade of Greece by tbe warships of the
powers will hasten a conflict between
Turkey and Greece on the frontier of
Thessaly.
MOUNTAIN GUNS TO CRETE.
London, April 2.—ln the house of
commons today Rt. Hon. George N.
Curzon, under secretary of foreign af
fairs, replying to a question by J. G.
S Mac Neil, the anti-Parnelite mem
bers for South Donegal, stated that
the admirals commanding tbe foreign
squadrons in Cretan waters had asked
their respective governments to send
three mountain guns each to Crete.
Mr. Curzon added that that he was
not aware of the character of the re
plies of the powers to this request, if
indeed any answer has been made, ex
cept in the case of Russia, which gov
ernment, he said, was sending a
mountain battery to Crete in accord
ance with the recommendation of the
Russian admiral.

Brunswick a distributing point for oil,
The Times learned yesterday, on good
authority, that the intention still
stands, and that tbe company will not
only continue to bring oil here in
schooners, but will also bring frequent
cargoes on tank steamships. The lo
cal manager of the company could
give no information on the subject,
but The Times’ advices came from
outside parties who are in a position
to know the facts.

Mrs. Atkinson is prostrated with
grief.
Young Atkinson and his Ada at

the governor heard of the plan aud
sternly prohibited a consummation.
WHY NOT BRUNSWICK?
One of the Possibilities of Our Grow
ing Shipping Business.
The Charleston Importing and Ex
porting company was organized in
Charleston several months ago, the
main object of the company being the
importing of Brazilian coffees tor sale
throughout the Southern states.
Several cargoes have been received
and samples distributed with agents
at all jobbing points from the coast to
tbe Ohio and Mississippi.
The experiment has so far met with
unuuai success and g : yes every prom
ise of becoming one of the foremost
among Charleston’s commercial inter
ests.
The coffee is brought in sailing ves
sels from Brazil, thus securing very
low freight rates and enabling the im
porter to compete with the importing
houses of Baltimore and New York.
Those among the citizens of Bruns
wick who have watched the progress
of this interesting experiment will
naturally wonder why Brunswick can
not also import coffee and other for
eign articles of general consumption.
There certainly is no reason why
our city, with much better port facil
ities than Charleston, and as well
equipped in railroad service, cannot
do a splendid business in this line. It
is to be hoped that some of our ener
getic oitizens will go to work on that
line.
ONE OF THE FIRST.
The Spanish Steamship Guido is at
Quarantine.
The Spanish steamship Guido ar
rived yesterday from Havana and is
detained at quarantine for the legal
time of detention.
The Guido is one of the few Span
ish steamships ever in port. She is of
2,065 tons, and will load a cargo of cot
ton and phosphate from the Bruns
wick Terminal company. The master
is Captain Lacbionda.

Seme of the Things That Are Over
heard in a Brunswick Day.
The multiplicity of electricians now
in Brunswick is quite perplexing.
Tbe new incandescent plant has given
a great stimulus, looally, to this
branch of industry, and people who
have work in that line will by no
means suffer from the exactions of a
monopoly.
Messrs. Smith & Collins, the two
Brunswiok carpenters, who left this
city yesterday on the Mallory liner
Colorado, have many thousand miles
t travel bef iliey reach th£
their journey. Their intentions were
announced in TiiKTiMKsa month ago,
and their friends doubted the story.
Yeeterday, however, the two gentle
men set all doubts at rest by embark
ing. They will go to New Zealand,
aud will make the trip by way of New
York and San Francisco
“The Times,” said a well known
merchant yesterday, “has struck the
keynote and filled a want long felt by
Brunswick business men, in securing
the daily telegraphic market reports.
It is gratifying to the friends of The
Timts that the paper is making such
valuable improvements. No feature
of a new°paper is so indispensable to
merchants as the market report.”
The disgraceful bog around the
Union depot is still there, with no
signs of an intention to abate tbe nuis
ance. The railroad should be com
pelled to fill in the low- places. There
is no possible excuse for the existence
of such things.

ENCOURAGING.
Pythian Committees Hope to Raise a
Sufficient Sum.
The committee appointed by Ogle j
thorpe Lodge, K. of I’., has beep, en
ergetically oanvassing tbe business
bouses of the city with a view to as
certaining the amount of contribu
tions that can be obtained for the en
tertainment of the members of the
Grand Lodge, if the encampment can
be secured for next year. They have
met with fair success and hope to
raise a sufficiently large subscription
list to warrant giving the invitation.
. There are 103 lodges in Georgia and
about 20 uniformed companies, and it
is said that tbe encampment of tbe
Grand Lodge would bring tbe total
number of visitors up to 2,500.
The local members say that nearly
all the lodges are anxious to have
Brunswick selected. It seems from
this that all depends on tbe liberality
anil public spirit of our citizens.
It is hoped that such a golden op
portunity to help our city further
along the road to prosperity will not
be allowed to pass.

THE CITY GOES.
The Familiar Steamer Leaves for Her
New Run Today.
The steamer City of Brunswick,
which has been on the Cumberland
Route for 10, these many years, leaves
today for anew route.
The purchase of the Governor Saf
ford, a larger and better steamer, dis
places the City of Brunswick on her
old run, and she will hereafter be em
ployed on the run from Mayport to
Jacksonville on the St. John’s river.
The steamer,since the GovernorSaf
ford has been taking her run, has been
thoroughly overhauled and repaired
and is now in excellent conditiqu,
Capt. D. B. Stallings will be
City of Brunswick on her ,uu.
Captain Stallings is not licensed for
uie Bt. John’s riyer, however, and
Captain Brown will have charge of
the steamer, until Captain Stallings
obtains tbe required papers.
The City of Brunswick came to
Brunswick many years ago as the
Thomas Collyer, and has been since
that time continuously on tbe Cumber
land and Florida route.
She will leave today at 1 o’clock for
Jacksonville.

With Cuban Colors.
With a large Cuban rtag flying from
tbe peak and tbe United States flag
from the gaff, the tug Dauntless
backed out on tbe St. Johns river at
noon yesterday and caused consider
able excitement along the river front,
for nearly every onß who saw her
thought that she would attempt to
run the blockade established by Uncle
Sam. The object was soon apparent,
for Wiidenhain, the well-known pho
tographer, was seen on a lighter with
a camera ready to take a snap shot at
the noted little filibuster. —Times-

Band’s Steady Growth.
The Marine Band bad a fine prac
tice at the armory last night, nearly
every member attending. Three new
members have been admitted duriDg
the last week, and the new uniforms
are sxpected to arrive in a few days.
With the increased membership, new
uniforms and constant practice, the
band is in~a fair way to regain tbe
position once held by its predecessors,
tbe Atlantic Band, as champions of
the south.
Closer to the Water.
The offices of the Brunswick Ter- j
minai company were moved
day from the Oglethorpe bank build
ing to the new warehouse on the Plant J

chartered, which are now due to ar-
I rive.
