TI GREETS A LOYAL SOUTH.
CONTINUOUS OVATION.
The President's Trip to the Atianta Peace Jubilee
Shows that We are a Strongly United
People—Stirring Speeches.
The President's visit to the south
ended Sunday night after several days
of remarkable displays of enthusiasm.
Far above the importance of the recep-
tions is the fact that the original ob-
ject of President McKinley's visit has
been entirely lost sight of.
The unprecedented outbursts of loy-
alty to the union have completely over-
shadowed the rejoicing over the peace
with Spain though participation in the
latter was the avowed object of the
president's southern trip.
In all the speeches and in
demonstrations which have marked
the president's visit to Atlanta, Tus-
kegee, Montgomery and Savannah,
there has been the tacit admission that
the war with Spain was the great fac-
tor in achieving the result, but it is to
the result and not to the factor that
the chief trend of speech-making and
of enthusiasm has lent itself.
The president Sunday attended serv-
ice at the Memorial Methodist church
at Savannah. He was met at the door
of the church by leading members of
the congregation, who escorted him to
the pew. reserved for him. As he en-
tered the congregation arose and re-
mained standing until he had taken
his seat... The sermon .was hy Rev.
John A. Thomson, D.D. There was no
Ie wee to the distinguished presence
during the service, beyond an invoca-
tion hy the preacher for divine guid-
ance for the president during the crisis
which now confronts the country.

SOLDIERS SUFFERING AT MANILA.
Red Cross Nurse Speaks of the Neglect Which
Our Men Our Subjected To.
The United States transport Scandia
arrived from Manila at San Francisco
a few days ago. She brings a number
of officers, 91 discharged and furlough-
ed men and two Red Cross nurses
Mise Schaefer, one of the latter, who
went to Manila September 26, makes
startling charges as to the way United
States soldiers are taken care ¢f there.
She said:
“Scores of the soldiers are dying in
the hospitals at Manila just for want
of proper nourishment. They say the
government allows 60 cents a day for
each patient. You can save dozens of
lives on 5 cents a day. Men are hop-
ing for death, seeking it, taking poison,
doing anything that will end the des-
pair.”
“They see nothing before
days of pain and nights of
ness, without proper food, alone, with
no one to give them sympathy. No
wonder the deadhouse is never empty.
‘‘And outside the hospital, and even
in it, there is indifference, petty con-
sideration of rank and position, sjuab-
bles about precedence, lack of con-
sideration in prescribing and preparing
food. T got just so that I could not go
through the wards.
“There is 80 much inexperience. To
think of an attendant going through
a ward with a pail of beef broth, lad-
ling it out to the 50 or 60 patients in-
discriminately by the cupful! In the
whole pail there was not enough nour-
ishment for one, even if it were made
of the best material. But what it real-
ly was made of, I shut my eyes and
refuse to imagine.”

Two hundred women stenographers
and clerks will be affected by an order
issued by the Chicago and Northwest-
ern railroad company to the effect that
female employees shall not remain in
the service of the corporation after
January 1, 1899. In cases where long
service makes retention-a matter of
justice, the employees will be retained,
and on this account the number affect-
¢d will not be large in Chicago. The
order embraces the whole Northwest-
ern system. Officials of the road re-
fuse to discuss the question of policy
involved in the new rule.
Les in Havana.
The United States transport Pan-
ama, one of the first prizes captured
in the late war, arrived Wednesday
evening at Havana with Gen. Fitz-
hugh I.ee and staff. The United States
transport Michigan, which left Savan-
nah on Saturday last, a day before
the Panama, has arrived with two
battalions of the Second Illinois regi-
ment.
A Rich Vein of Gold.
Rat Portage, Ont. is wild with ex-
citement over a marvelous strike made
in the Mikado gold mine. The ore fil's
a slope 40 feet high and 2 1-3 feet wide
and the richest ore is worth on a con-
servative estimate from $25,000 to $35,-
000 a ton in free milling gold. The ore
is being put in barrels and sacks and
men are guarding the treasure. The
mine is owned in England.
At a low estimate there.is now a
quarter of a million dollars in sight.
The latest advices from miners coming
in say the vein is now eleven feet wide
with no decrease in value. The length
and depth of the ore body is not yet
determined.
Spaniard Exiled.
To expel a criminal from the United
States is an unusual proceeding, but
that was done in the case of John
Ribert, who left a few days ago for
Havre on the steamer La Champagne.
He was convicted in Lancaster, Pa., of
a4 murderous .assault, and the finding
of the court, under Judge Brubaker,
was that he should start immediately
for Spain, his native country. Sentence
was suspended to allow him to go. It
is claimed that he had been goaded to
commit the assault by patriotic Amr-
icans during the Spanish war.
Crime and Matrimony Mixed.
A romantic wedding took place in
the county jail at Milan, Mo. a few
days ago. John Green, aged 19 years,
under penitentiary sentence for burg-
lary and larceny, married his 17-year-
old step-mother, whose 50-year-old
husband is in the penitentiary for
horse stealing. She was divorced at
the recent term of court, but she fail-
ed to obey the mandate of the court
for payment of costs and she may be
prosecuted for bigamy.

Travel in a Special Car Provided by the Railroad
Company—Communication From Aguin-
aldo's Representative.
The American peace commission left
Paris for the United States via Havre
and Southampton Saturday and sail
for New York on board the American
line steamer St. Louis.
The United States ambassador, Gen.
Horace Porter, and the other officials
of the United States embassy, a rep-
resentative of the French foreign of-
fice, and the members of the American
colony, bade farewell to the American
peace commissioners at the railroad
station as they started on their home-
ward journey. A special salon car
had been provided by the railroad
company for the use of the members of
the commission. The friends of the
departing commissioners gave three
cheers and waved their hats and hand-
kerchiefs as the train started.
It is learned that Agoncillo, the rep-
resentative of Aguinaldo, the Philip-
pine leader, has lodged a strongly-
worded protest with the "peace com-
mission. which thus becomes part of
the records. It begins with saying
that “the very noble and gallant Gea.
Aguinaldo, president of the Philippina
republic,” had honored him with ‘the
post of official representative to the
very honorable president of the United
States.”

barracks, war materials, arms, stores,
buildings and all property appertain-
ing to the Spanish administration in
the Philippines.
Article 6 is a renunciation by both
nations of their respective claims

each other.
Article 7 grants to Spanish trade and
outline

Decoy Letter Arrests a Thief.
Otto Heintz, lately employed as jan-
itor in the Equitable building at St.
Louis, was arrested at Kansas City,
the other day charged with the lar-
ceny of $42,000 negotimble bonds from
a vault in the office of L.. C. Nelson, a
tenant of the Equitable building.
Heintz disappeared several weeks ago,
and it was supposed that he had com-
mitted suicide. A few days ago
Heintz wrote St. Louis parties anony-
mously, offering to return the bonds
for $18,000. A decoy letter resulted in
the arrest of the supposed suicide. On
his person were $11,000 of the stolen
bonds. The balance of the bonds,
which are unregistered, and negotiable
anywhere, cannot be found.
Col. Bryan's Idea.
Col. William Bryan has expressed
himself as opposed to the imperialistic
policy. He favors an immediate rati-
fication of the peace treaty. Then he
would grant the Philippines and Porto
Rico the same privilege which has
been granted Cuba—freedom and inde-
pendence as soon as a stable govern-
ment can be establishd.
Great Blockade of Crain,
The grain blockade at Buffalo con-
tinues and is unprecedented. Fully 80
large steamers are in the river waiting
to be unloaded, or frozen in. They
carry about 9.000,000 bushels of grain,
while in the different elevators 7,000,000
bushels are at present stored.
This total of 16,000,000 bushels of
grain afloat and temporarily in store
is a record breaker of the first dimen-
sions. “Ice is forming too rapidly to
permit any of the boats attempting
another trip up the lakes, consequent-
ly this great fleet of grain carriers will
be forced to winter in this port. The
railroads are greatly hampered in
their efforts to get the grain to the
seaboard by the continued snow
blockade.
Hundreds of Illegal Marriages.
Two hundred Canadian marriages
contracted during the past two years
have been found to be illegal and near-
ly seventy children born of these mar-
riages illegitimate. These marriages
were solemnized in Canada by clergy-
men resident in the United States, who
were very often relatives of one of the
contracting parties, and as such guests
at the weddings. The law requires
that all marriages be solemnized by a
judge, magistrate, marriage registar;
clergyman, a resident of Canada and
ordained to his sacred office by a Ca-
nadian church organization. The heir-
ship to valuable properties is in some
cases affected, and legislation is to be
introduced making all such marriages
legal and expressly forbidding such
marriages in future.

Senate.
SEVENTH DAY. |
Discussion of two questions, each of
Interest and importance at this time,
was begun by the Senate. Territorial
expansion and the construction of the
Nicaragua g¢anal occupied the atten-
tion of the body. Mr. Morgan opened
the debate on the Nicaragua canal bill
with a three-hour appeal for action at
this session. In the course of his re-
marks, he agreed to accept an amend-
ment specifically excepting the canal
from neutrality with regard to any
country with which the United States
might be at war.
As soon as the routine morning busi-
ness had been disposed of, Mr. Vest
called up his resolution, offered last
week, declaring it to be unconstitution-
al for this Government to ac quire for-
eign territory, except for coaling sta-
tions or some like purpose, unless its
intention is to confer Statehood upon
the territory and citizenship upon its
inhabitants. Mr. Vest declared that it
is a basic principle of this Government
that the powers “of the Government
are derived from the consent of the
governed. and maintained that the
Federal Government has no authority,
either in morals or in the Constitution.

The session of the Senate was largely
consumed in discussion of the

Ind.) attacking it on the ground that it
is in the interest of the maritime com-
pany, which he characterized as a

the senate. Speeches were made by
Messrs. Harris, Money, Stewart and
Morgan. Mr. Money urged postpone-
ment of the question in order to per-
mit an opportunity for negotiations
with Great Britain for a modification
of the Clayton-Bulwer (reaty and Mr.
Morgan antagonized the proposition.

The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill. making provision for the army
and navy for the next six months, dis-
placed the Nicaragua canal bill in the
Senate, preventing even the taking of
a vote on the question of postpone-
ment until after the holidays, as had
been intended. The deficiency bill
was passed after
turning principally on
keeping the volunteer
service. At the instance of Mr. Har-
ris, the Senate adopted a resolution
calling upon the President for informa-
tion as to the status of ihe report of
the Nicaragua commission. Mr. Mor-
gan presented a memorial from
National board of trade favorable to
the = construction of the Nicaragua
canal, asking that ihe document be
printed in the “Congressional Record.”
Mr. Allen objected. He predicted that
the canal would cost $500, 000,000.

The House spent the larger part of
the day on District of Columbia af-
fairs. The bill to relieve the condition
of American seamen was taken up, but
nothing was accomplished.
Representative Hepburn, of Towa,
introduced a hill authorizing the Presi-
dent to acquire by purchase from the
States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua
full ownership, jurisdiction and sover-
eignty of such land as may be desir-
able and necessary to construct and
defend a ship canal. The President is
also directed to construct such a canal,
and the bill appropriates $10,000,000 to
complete it.
EIGHTH DAY.
The house passed the District of Co-
Iumbia appropriation bill without a
single amendment. The bill carries
$6,309,950, which is $176,600 less than was
carried by the last bill, and $2,871,857
less than the estimates.
On motion of Mr. Hay (Dem., Va.) a
resolution was adopted calling upon

as to what towns in. Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines are required to be
garrisoned; how many troops will be
necessary for that purpose, and how
many soldiers will be needed for the
United States proper.

trict of South Carolina was passed.
The pension appropriation bill re-
ported to the house carries §$145,233,839,
being $4,000,000 more than carried by
the current act, due to the increase in
pension disbursements, which rose
from $139,949,717 in 1897 to $144,651,879
in 1898. The total number of pension-
ers on the rolls is 993,714.
TENTH DAY.
pension appropriation bill in
days gone by has been one of the most
fruitful themes of acrimonious parti-
san debate, but to-day, aithough car-
rying $4,000,000 more than the act for
the current year, it was passed in 20
minutes. without a word of criticism by
the House.
Mr. Hill (Rep., Conn.) then called up
the bill ‘‘to carry into effect the recom-
mendations of the international
American conference by the incorpora-
tion of the International American
bank.” Mr. Brosius (Rep., Pa.) said
the business between this country and
those of the south of us had aggre-
gated more than $3,000,000,000 since the
recommendation of the Pan American

CUBANS ELEBRATE WITH BULLETS.
SPANIARDS SHOT.
Evacuation of the Enemy Leads to a Violent
Disturbance-- Passengers Compelled to ¢
Shout for Free Cui.
Sunday evening a crowd of Cubans
of the lower class passed a barracks
of engineers on the Infanta avenue
Havana, shouting “Long live Cuba,”
and ‘Death to Spain,” and fired shots
into the air in celebration of the evac-
uation of Cerro. The crowd stopped
street cars and compelled passengers
to. shout "Viva: Cubd . libre.’ Jose
Gancedo and his cousin, Teodoro Huer-
tas, were wounded with knives. Gan-
edo died and Huertas will probably
die,
Later the crowd met some engineers
at the Esquina de Tejas and fired up-
on them, seriously wounding one. The
engineers returned the fire, wounding
a street car conductor,a civilian, Iso-
dore Basols and John Leonard, a
negro.
Spanish soldiers were ordered to, the
scene. While’ marching through Cerra
they were fired upon by men conceal-
ed behind pillars. One Spanish private
fell wounded, and the battalion fired
into the air to scare the rioters. On
resuming their march they were again
fired upen and another man was hit.
Spaniards then fired and dispersed
the rioters.
Among the wounded was a negress,
and it is also reported that there were
several others, The rioting caused

NOT FIT TO RULE:
Shafter Very Decided in His Opinion About the
Cubans.
At the collation of the officers of the
Third Georgia regiment to Postmaster
General Smith and the newspaper c¢or-
respondents the other day at Savan-
nah, Ga., General Shafter had some
interesting things to say about Cuba
and the Cubans.
“It seems to me,’ said General Shaf-
ter, “‘that a great many persons have
an erroneous idea respecting our re-
lations with the Cubans. As I view it,
we have taken Spain's war upon our-
selves. We shall, in all probability,
hear a good deal more of the ‘insurg-
ents.’ »’
“How about self government for the
Cubans?” General Shafter was asked
“Self government?” the general re-
peated. “Why, those pecple are no
more fit for self government than gun-
powder is for h—1.""
In the same line General Shafter
werit on to tell why the United States

Hugged a Citizen's Wife.
Prominent citizens of Savannah, Ga.,
have interested themselves in behalf
of Moore, the Maine artillery man who
was the other day sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 or serve 60 days on the
chain gang by Judge Norwood for at-
tempting on “he streets to hug the wife
of a prominent citizen. A petition to
ithe governor for pardon is being cir-
culated, and it is being signed not only
by leading men, but by society women
as well. Moore was hilariously in-
toxicated at the time of his offense. It
is probable the pardon will be prompt-
ly granted.

ting as factors, the title remaining in

ing near Montello, Wis., set fire to all
his farm buildings recently and then
threw himself into the flames. All his
grain and farm implements were de-
stroyed. is remains were found in
the ruins of the barn. The cause of
the act is supposed to have been be-
cause a divorce was procured by his
wife. He destroyed the property to
prevent it falling into her hands. Wag-
ner kissed the children good-bye, gave
each some money and sent them to
school. His wife left him a week ago.

resignation of Gladstone, the official

: A Costly Pass.
Speaking of Sara Bernhardt, they
tell this of her in London, where she
was last spring. The great one
dropped into a bookseller’s shop one
morning. ‘I sold her quite a pile of
books,” said the proprietor, “and
showed her every attention, and she
seemed pleased. As she was going out
she took hold of my pencil and asked
me something in French which I did
not understand. Seeing that I failed
to catch her meaning she looked about
on the counters, then, quick as a flash,
she took up a volume of one of the
very best sets of Scott, bound in tree
calf, opened it at the very center,
wrote something quickly, calmly tore
out the leaf, handed it to me, smiled,
and went out.” The astounded book-
seller loked at the leaf and discovered
that Sara had written a pass for two
to her performance that evening!
Magnificent, but it was not a cheap
entertainment for the bookseller.

took place in Persia in 1890. The of-

cauldron of cold water, which was
slowly heated to the boiling point. His
bones were distributed, as a warning,
among the provincial tax collectors.
