NO TARIFF SPEECH, Hill Abstains Prom Free Trade Talk in the Iron Center of the South. THE GLOEY OF HIS PAETY And Its Doctrine of State Eights Now the Burden of His Song. ALLIANCE MEN URGED TO BETURN. The Senator Tledges New Tork's Tote for the Chicago Nominee. ATLANTA TO-DAT'S OBJECTIVE POINT BiBiirNGHAM, AI.A., March 1C. The Democrats of Birmingham were astir at an early hour this morning. The approaching visit of Senator Hill to the chief manu facturing city of the South had been heralded to all the people of Alabama, and incoming trains from early night till morning brought to Birmingham enthusiastic Democrats, in cluding Hill club from the smaller towns throughout the State An escort had met Senator Hill at Jack son last evening and accompanied him over the State line to Birmingham. It was 3.40 this miming when the train bearing Sen ator Hill and his party rolled into the Birmingham station, but a large crowd had already assembled, and the Senator was loudly cheered as he and his party passed to the carriages which conveyed the visitors to the hotels, where the visiting party be came the guests of the Hill Club of Birm ingham. A Warm Southern Greeting. This forenoon a committee of nine lead ing citizens, headed by Colonel Hewitt and a delegation of the Irish club, escorted Sen ator Hill and his party to the Opera House. Prolonged cheers greeted the appearance of Senator Hill. To Colonel Hewitt, Presi dent of the Hill Club of Birmingham, was assigned the honor of introducing Senator HilL Mr. Hill responded as follows: I nave heard of the wonderful industries of your locality and of your increasing pop ulation and wealth and resouioes of every ktnd.but have not realized them so fully un til my visit at this very time. Applause. Tour triumphs hero in every departmontnro the wonder of the world. There is no exam ple of it offered in history. Applause. The place whero this city stands only ten vears ago was an open plain, and now we And ono of the most thriving cities of tho whole South. Applause. I am here to speak a word, not for any in dividual or Individuals, hut to speak in be half of the principles of tho great party to which I am proud to belong Applause. If thcro is any wrong in this, then I am guilty or that offense Applause I know there are thoso who belittle what was accomp lished by the Democratic partv when it held possession of this Government for many lone years. The fast of the Democratic Party. I know there nro those of this generation who seem to think that all tho glory and greatness of this country has taken place since the war. They forget what was ac complished during Democratic rul-j. They forgot that the principles of this Govern ment were firmly secured by the efforts of the Democratic statesmen in the days of early history. They forget tho principles which were laid down by Jefferson himself and which have controlled, to a laree extent, the destinies of our land. You have not forgotten the fact thatall the great and valuable acquisitions of territory of this country were acquired through the efforts of Democratic statesmen. Tou have not forgotten the great foreign wars which this country waged under the auspices of Democratic leaders. The AVar of 1813 was maintained and insisted upon by our Demo cratic leaders. The AVar of 1S46 was waged by onr Democrtic heroes "It is tho partv that gave to the country James Monroe, who established the Monroe doctrine, essential to the perpetuity of the safety of this country of ours. All the great principles relating to civil liberty and equal lights wore those that were put forth earlv by those who controlled the destinies of tho land at thit hour. 1 have no patience with that man who now says that wc aie indebted to the Republican party for all that gives luster to tho history of this country. I deny it. Applause. Jcflerson Laid Down the Principles. It was in Jefferson's inaugural address that he laid down the essential principles of De mocracy. He declared certain principles to be tho essential ones of onr Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its administration. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. Great applause. These nie what I term tho elementary principles of true Democ racy, laid down by the great founder of the Democratic' partv, Thomas Jefferson him self. Applause. What is the history of our party in connec tion with these principles,? We believe in tho doctrine of home rule lor municipalities. App'Hiise. We do not believe that the gen eral Government has any right to interfere in the domestlcaffairs or States. Applause. VTe believe that the people of Alabama have n right to control their own domestic affairs in their own way. Applause. We believe that vou have a right here to control the machinery of your own elections, and that the general Government has no constitu tional or moral power to interfere. Ap plause. It follows that we believe in a strict constructive action of the Constitu tion. Applause. If I was to describe in a word tho one great essential difference between the Demo cratic partv and the Republican partv. and other parties that have preceded the Repub lican party, I n ould state it in a word: Hanking on the Constitution. The Democratic party has always be lieved, and now believes, in a strict con struction of the Federal Constitution ap plause, and our opponents have always be lieved In a loose, extraordinary, general power or construction. Wo believe Just precisely what the Constitution says In its letter and its spirit. Applause. All the powers not conferred upon the General Gov ernment are ieser cd to the States or to the people. Applause The Democratic paity believes now, as it always believed, that the best method to raise money sufficient to support the Gov ernment is by taxc- upon imports. The man who says that the Democratic party wants to tear down the cu-tom honsas'of the land, misstates our position, and he knows it. Ap plause. We belie e that the power of taxa tion must be used for public, and not for private, purposes. I know there are those who seek to stir up btrile and party division. I know there are men who seek alliance with other parties, but I ask these men if they ngree in the main with Democratic principles, what do they ealn at this vital hour by tormmg them selves into a tuird party and creating di vision in our organization? Applause, Divisions mean detcat; unity means the suc cess or onr principles. Tou take the platform of the Farmers' Al liance; you take the platform or the Federa tion of Labor; a large majority or their plat forms arc substantially like the Democratic platform. They believe with us in an econo mic administration or public affairs. They believe with us in taxation for public pur poses, not private purposes. American Policy as a Catch-Word. They believe with us, in many respects, as to the currency question, if not in detail. Why do they allow themselves to drift into other parties and frustrate the success or the Democratic party? I know a great deal is said by our opponents about an American Tiolicv. It is a plausible catch-word. The American policy which we want maintained in this country, is that which gives Ameri can freemen their rights. Wo want an ad ministration which respects our rights khroad and maintains them at home. Wo do not want an administration that cries in one breath that they favor an American nolicy, and make your livingas bad as under any foreign government that exists under thefacoof the sun. You must nonexact from the General Gov ernment too miicb. I have no sympathy with any party that wants to convert this Government into a paternal one. There are some things that the Government can do, and there are some things they will do and ought not to do. There are some evil Inci dents to our social and political life which cannot be cured by legislation. There are evils which cannot he cured butmust.be endured. There will be hard times; there will be plenty of hard times; tbeie will be times of prosperity; there will be times of disaster In business: theiewill be good markets and bad markets. Legisla tion may aid us in the great race of life, but legislation cannot do all. We must not ex pect to run to Congress every timo there is a bad crop. We must not expect relief from every imaginable incident in a great Bepub lic like ours. Hill Carries New Tork In His Pocket. Let us stand by our old principles of gov ernment, and not run over to new and un tried things. It is unessential who the can didate or the Democratic party may be. The great point is to achieve a victory ror Demo cratic principles in November next. Ap plause. I pledge you the State or New Tone I pledge New Tork's electoral vote for the Democratic party. Great applause. I have no patience with that set or men who are constantly speaking, in favor or non-partisanship. I believe in an aggressive and courageous fight. I will exert every in fluence or party organization to build up, and not belittle, my psrtv. Applause. I Mill do this because I think the principles of my party are essential to the welfare of my countrv, and. therefore, I am subserving the best and highest Interests of my country w hen I insist upon It. Applause. In the evening Senator Hill and his party were the guests of the Hill Club at a ban quet. Several speeches were v made, and at 11:30 o'clock the Senator and his friends left for Atlanta. TWO RAILROADS MADE ONK The Deal .Expected for .Several Days Takes Place, In the Consideration of the Bich mond Terminal and Richmond and Danville Systems New Officers Elected. Xew York, March 16.

The expenses will be decreased ana tne net earnings increased greatjy by the unifi cation ot the system. A syndicate, headed by Hallgarten & Co., has "been formed to provide lor $14,588,000 necessary to Insure the success of the plan, but the stockhold ers and bondholders will be given the priv ilege to subscribe for the new securities on terms that will make the rights very val uable. AGAINST Q0VSENMEHT BAUDS. Union Musicians Do Not Want to Play In Their Company. New Yobk, March 16. At the session of tho National Iieague of Musicians this morning tho chief discussion was Relative to a resolution proposed by Henry Platte, of Denver, that the National League order all its members to refuse to participate in all parades and demonstrations and the tri ennial conclave of tbe Knights Templar, to be held in Denver August S next, it any United States army or navy bands, or any alien, bands, take part After many side issues had been brought up, the whole mat ter was- referred to a committee to report later in the convention. Delegates Hunt, Ruhe and Ossendorff have been appointed a committee to ax the place ot meeting of tbe next convention. Delegate Samuel Davis has brought up a resolution that the tax per head be increased so that the League may be able to pay the traveling expenses of all delegates to the convention. The matter has not yet been settled. It was resolved to direct all League mem bers to retuse service with Dickson & Tal bott, of Indianapolis, after April 1 until the difficulty between them and local No. 28 had been adjusted. BUIXDOZERS CALLED ON TO HALT. They Bun Against a bnagin Their Efforts to Drive Men Away. New Osleans, March 16. Special Some excitement has been created in Sli dell, in St. Tammany Parish, La., by the efforts of certain men employed in the lum ber mills of that town to force all non-resident laborers away from there. A petition asking them to leave, and containing a num ber of vague threats in case they did not, has been in circulation among the em ployes for some days past and was signed by many of them. This had such an effect on the non-resi-denta that a number of timid ones left Many negroes from the neighboring States ot Mississippi and Alabama emigrated. The white non-residents, however, refused to leave, armed themselves and' declared their purpose to act on the defensive and resist all attacks on them if any efforts' were made to force them out of the country. The atti tude they have assumed will, it is thought, check the efforts of the bulldozers, who are not numerous, and will prevent any trouble from occurring. There are several hundred men employed in the mills there and a large proportion are non-residents who have moved in lately from neighboring States. New Tork's New Dintrlctlng. Albany, N. Y., March 16.

Features of the Exhibition That Are of Special Interest. ' THE LONG LIST OP AWARDS ANNOUNCED The second day of the dog show was at tended by well up to 10,000 people, and as much, if not more, canine music than the first day, the great drawback to the latter being its sameness. Tbe poor dogs either did not know or were too tired after the first day's carnival to rehearse the latest works of the masters. At any rate, the overture, and, in fact, the whole musical programme, was the same, with the excep tion that the chorus was larger. Yesterday' s pleasant afternoon brought the people out A line of carriages reaching far past the frontage of the Auditorium was drawn up, and people of every walk of life viewed, talked about and patted the many "barkers." Adored by the Pair Ones. It was not an uncommon sight to see a richly dressed lady gently caressing ,the head of a huge St Bernard or an ugly pug and pouring laving epithets upon it Indeed there was so much of the latter that had the fortunate dogs been men, there would have been hundreds of divorce suits. The greatest attractions seemed to be the mastiffs and St Bernards. The crowd which gathered around the kennels of these species was immense. The big fellows seemed to be unmindful of their many ad mirers. For the most part they laid with their noses buried beneath their fore paws and snoozed, with one eye open. Occasion ally one of them would grow flirtatious and raise its head for a gentle caress. At 4 p.m. Prof. J. H. Burton gave his first entertainment with his pack of ircus dogs. Many of the tricks were old, but each The Judging Stand. canine performed his part so well that they were appreciated. Mr. Burton certainly has some wonderful dogs in the way of tricksters, clowns and actual performers. In fact some of them seem able to talk. The Best Show Ever Meld Here. The show, without any doubt, is the best that has been held here. President Boggs said last evening: "We are thoroughly sat isfied with all the judges, and particularly Mr. Raper. Everybody is convinced that tbe judging has been fair. Ourshow is bet ter this year than it was last year." Mr. Raper said that the show is a credit to Pittsburg and to the doe fanciers of America. Mr. J. Mortimer said: "I have never seen a better show outside of New York. There have been some surprises, for instance Dick Swiveler's defeat; but there is reason for all awards, and the judging has been good. The fact remains that the setters and pointers are as a class better and more nu merous than at any previous show. The fox terriers are remarkable, and everybody is surprised at the bull terriers of the puppy clasa The greyhounds are better than was expected. The list of Awards.

SALISBURY MUST SOON SPEAK. Uncle Bam Wants to Know What's to Be Done in Bering Sea. A &UCCESSF0L TEST OP CELLULOSE rSFECIAZ. TELXGKASt TO THI DISrATCB.t "Washington, March 16. Just before the Senate adjourned this afternoon, Sena tor Hoar, who has charge of the pending judicial nominations, gave notice to his Re publican friends, in executive' session, that he wanted them all to be on hand to-morrow, as he proposed to try and force a vote on the confirmation of Judge "Woods. He said there was no point to the long-winded speeches on the subject of open executive sessions, with which certain Sena'tors were occupying the time of the Senate, and he wants a decision to-morrow. , Judge "Woods' nomination will be con firmed, without doubt Thus far the alle gations made against Judge Woods have been less sensational than was expected, although it is said Senators Voorhees and Turpie have held back many of their strongest statements, hoping that the doors of the Senate might be thrown open and their utterances given to the public. The executive session lasted until 5 o'clock to-day, Senators Voorhees and George again occupying the greater portion of the time in discussing the question of open executive sessions. Senator Hoar in timated that the Democrats 'were trying to repeat their force bill tactics for political effect, but the Democrats insisted that they were simply endeavoring to throw some light upon a very dark judicial character. Senator Hoar-was in favor of forcing a vote this afternoon, but at a late hour Sena tor Turpie, ot Indiana, stated that while he had no intention of unnecessarily delaying consideration, he had some additional points which he would like to present to morrow. An unsuccessful effort was made to get the Democrats to agree to take a vote to-morrow at 5 o'clock. HOT A STEERING C0NCEB5. The Democratic Cancns Committee Organ izing for Political Work, Purely. "Washington, March 16. Special Thus far only 13 names have been handed to the Chairman of the Democratic Caucus Committee for assignment to duty on the Congressional Campaign Committee. At the caucus held a few nights ago it was 'agreed that the various State delegations should make their own choice and give the names ot the gentlemen selected to the Chairman of tbe caucus, Judge Holman. The selections already made are as follows: Utah, John T. Caine; Montana, "William "Wirt Dixon; Delaware, John "William Causey; New Mexico, Antonio Joseph; Arizona, M. A. Smith; Nebraska, "W. J. Bryan; Louisiana, S. M. Robertson; Penn sylvania, "William Mutchler; "Wisconsin, J. I Mitchell; "West Virginia, J. D. Alder son; Texas, J. "W. Bailey; Illinois, "W. S. Forman; South Carolina, George Johnstone. It is expected that the other State delega tions will make their selections within the next week, so the House Committee can notify the members of the Senate who are to act jointly with them in planning the coming campaign. Judge Holman says the Joint Congres sional Committee cannot be regarded as a "steering" committee in any sense of the term, so tar as legislation is concerned; the committee has nothing to do with pending or piobable legislation. Its duties are con fined to making arrangements for the com ing campaign, the distribution of public documents and other campaign ma terial. So far as the business of tbe House is concerned, Judge Holman says, he expects all the appropriation bills to be before the House by the 10th of next month, which is an earlier period than ever before. "While the tariff discussion is in progress the various committees of the House are at work, hence the present debate is helping the legitimate business of the House rather than retarding it. He does not anticipate any radical legislation by the House beyond the general appropriation bills and the tariff and free silver bills. SALISBURY MUST SPEAK OUT. Uncle Sam Wants to Know What Is to Be Done About Serine Sea. "Washington, March 16. Acting Secre tary "Wharton was to-day instructed to in form Sir Julian Paunoefote, the British Minister, that the President desires to know, at as early a date as possible, the in tention of the British Government with re gard to the proposed renewal of the modus vivendi of last year for the preservation of the seal fisheries pending the settlement by arbitration of the question of the jurisdic tional rights of the United States in Bering Sea. The British Minister was requested to call Lord Salisbury's attention to Mr. "Wharton's note of the 8th instant, insisting on the necessity of the modus vivendi, with the suggestion that the President would like to have a response as soon as possible in order that he might act understanding in the matter. The President's desire for speedy action is laid to be due to the fact that it is essen tial that he should know promptly whether Great Britain will co-operate in keeping the sealers out ot Bering Sea, as otherwise the execution of that duty falling on the United States will necessitate the making of arrangements that can scarcely be effective unless completed at an earlv dav. The character of the instructions to our naval and revenue vessels destined for duty in Bering Sea this season will depend al most altogether on the attitude to be as sumed by Great Britain, and as these ves sels will have to be in the vicinity of the sea by the first of May, it will be seen there is very little time to spare in preparations. HADE FAMOUS IN A SAT. A loung Congressman Wins His Spurs With One Tariff Speech. "Washington, March 1& Special "William Jennings Bryf-n, the young Demo cratic leader from Nebraska, whom Speaker Crisp placed on the "Ways and Means Com mittee against the protest of a large element of the House, distinguished himself to-day by making the "star" speech of the present session on the tariff question. Mr. Bryan astonished his associates and the occupants of the crowded galleries by an exhibition of finished oratory seldom witnessed in the halls of Congress. He is but 30 years old, tall, well-built, with a clean-shaven face, and jet black hair. Charlie O'Neill, the "Father of the House," as he is called, savs Mr. Bryan looks something like the late Samuel Jackson Randall looked 25 years ago. Mr. Bryan was given two hours to speak, but when that time elapsed there was a gen eral chorus of "Go onl "Go on!" from both sides ot the House. Members lingered in their seats, and the spectators remained in the galleries until 5:30 o'clock, so intent were they in hearing the young orator from the "West Not only was he logical, but he was practical, and 5on for himself a place among the House orators beside the silver tongued Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and the clarion-voiced Henderson, of Iowa.

His phys icians do not expect the crisis in his case to be reached before Saturday and Sunday. His courage keeps up and his strength holds out well.

A Chicago Banker Forced to Assign In Order to Avoid litigation. Chicago, March 16. Michael Schweis thal, banker, Election Commissioner and former City Treasurer, failed to-day. At 2:30 o'clock a voluntary assignment was made in the county court to John Lane hart. The assets are placed at $140,000; the liabilities at $120,000. The suspension was directly caused by the collapse of Boebm & Co., wholesale liquor dealers, of Denver, one of whose partners killed himself yesterdav. Through Chicago houses Mr. Schweisthal had become deeply involved with Boehm & Co. He had discounted large amounts of their paper, and the assignment this afternoon was de cided on as the only means of averting a run and disastrous litigation. In addition to the Denver complication Mr. Schweis thal is said to have speculated heavily in real estate, and it is estimated that he has $75,000 worth of real estate equities which at best will shrink considerably on an attempt to realize. POLITICS SPLIT A CONFERENCE. A Minister Who Flcored In the Delaware Campaign Is Now on Trial. "Wilmington, March 16. The M. E. Conference in session here is all torn up over various impending trials mainly grow ing out of the long-strained relations be tween Presiding Eldes J. A. B. "Wilson, of the Dover district, and ministers who feel aggrieved at tbe conduct of churches in that district, where half the clergy have been in turmoil on Wilson's account for months past. Charges and counter-charges growing out of these controrersies have been pre pared in abundance. The charges against "Wilson embody po litical hypocrisy, corrupt administration, lying and espionage. Among the counter charges made under the "political hypoc risy" head are complaints that "Wilson vin dicated the personal conduct of Governor Reynolds during the campaign and that he recommended Ezekiel T. Cooper, of Dover, for appointment as Register of "Wills in lien of a Methodist aspirant. GAS HEN KICKING Against World's Fair Discrimination In Favor of Electric Lighting. Columbus, March 16. The Ohio Gas light Association, in session here to-day with 150 members present,' indorsed the ac tion of Eastern gas associations in resolving to use their influence to prevent the f5, 000,000 Government loan to the "World's Fair unless the "World's Fair Commission deals more fairly with the gas people. They claim that the commission has set apart $1,500,000 to make an electric light display and not-a dollar for a gaslight exhibit. "Worse than this the location of the gaslight building, built at private ex pense, is in an out-of-the-way place. The Poor Italian Was Hoaxed. Zack Fuille got into trouble last night owing to his inability to discriminate be tween a silver certificate and an advertise ment in imitation of a $5 bill. The Italian was loafing in a cobbler's shop on High street last night when a customer came to get a pair of shoes. The customer handed the cobbler a green and red slip of paper shaped like a bill and printed all over with 5's and $'s, and asked the cobbler to take his price out of it. The cobbler laughing told Fuille to get it changed for him at a near-by saloon and incidentally to get a glass of ljeer for himself. 'Fuille innocently drank his beer and offered the advertise ment in payment, when the saloon keeper immediately sent word to police headquar ters that somebody was trying to pass coun terfeit money on him. A couple ot detect ives went to tbe place at once and arrested Fuille and locked him up in Central station. The man who tendered the bill in the first place took fright at all this and im mediately went into seclusion. BANK STATEMENTS. TlEPOKl'OFTHE CONDITION OP THE of Pitts- XL PEOPLES SAVINGS BANK burg.
