', m THE CRUISER PHILADELPHIA ORDERED HOME. The Charleston to Take Her Place at Honolulu Our Navy To Be Un represented Temporarily at Hawaii The Trouble Be tween. China and Japan Over Proposed. Re forms in Corea. Washington, July 21. Secretary Herbert has sent orders to Admiral "Walker, directing him to . return home in the , Philadelphia and relinquish his command of the Pacific squadron to Commodore Beardslee at San Francisco. These orders will go forward by the steamer, leaving San Francisco the 26th, and should be delivered to the admiral not later than August 2nd. As the flag ship Philadelphia is already coaled, it is expected she will sail for home a day or two later, but on account of the fouled condition i of her hull below the water line, due to the fact that she has not been cleaned for a year, she. may not reach San Francisco before August 15th. On her arrival at the Mare Island navy yard Admiral Walker will haul down her flag, which will be immediately replaced by Commodore Beardslee's pen nant and the admiral will com east to take charge of the naval academy. The Philadelphia will be docked and thor oughly overhauled, preparatory to a cruise in South American waters. For some time, at least a week or two, if not longer, Hawaii may be left with out the protection afforded by a United States warship in Honolulu harbor. It ha3 been decided by. the Administration that no necessity exists for keeping an admiral in Hawaiian waters and the next United States naval commander to protect American interests in the islands will have a captain's rank. , The Charleston, Capt. Cofnn, 13 under orders to proceed to Honolulu as soon as she can be made readv. She recently returned to San , Francisco from Rio and has been undergoing repairs and a thor ough cleaning at the Mare Island navy yard, which is almost completed. An other cause that may delay her departure is the fact that 168 of her men,consisting of one company ! of marines, two com panies of blue i jackets, and her battery of four machine guns, is now doing guard duty at Oakland during the railway dis turbance. When that situation is so far improved as to permit this force to return to the ship, there will probably be noth ing to prevent the Charleston's departure. The latest reports from Admiral Walker show a peaceful condition of affairs in Hawaii and these have influenced the administration in running the risk of leaving the American Minister there without protection for a short period. The British warship Champion is still there, as well as the Japanese gunboat Kon Go. It is claimed that as the new republic proclaimed on July 4th last has been fully and firmly established, ac cording to the dispatches received from Hawaii, there is no ground for appre hension from the presence of these war vessels and the brief absence of a vessel representing the United States. The announcement that Corea had con sented to the reform proposed by Japan caused the officials of the Japanese Lega tion here to express the hope that this would end the strained relations between Japan and China. This depended, how- ever? it was said, on whether China gave her assent in the matter and allowed the proposed reforms to be instituted. China, it is stated, at the Japanese Legislation has three times refused her assent to co operate with Japan, instituting the re form desired in Corea. Now Corea has agreed to the reforms, it is suggested that Japan, assisted by Corea, can go ahead and remedy tne existing condition of affairs. No specific statement of the reforms desired have been received as yet at the Japanese- Legation, here, but their general tenor is known and they include changes in the system of taxa tion and the removal of restrictions that now exist. It is said at the Legation that the agricultural and mechanical in terests in Corea are absolutely subject to the whim of local officials who have it in their power to make arbitrary regula tions that cause trouble and frequently popular1 uprisings. The financial method of the country are said to need radical reforms- Japan does the bank ing business of the country and the Gov ernment is frequently called on to press the'Coreans for money due the Japanese and which.it is asserted, should be easily, collected by the courts. Japan also wants the Uorean judiciary system re formed, as under that now in vogue cruel and unusal punishment is inflicted and inquisitorial methods prevail to the injury of Japanese business men. The Japanese, furthermore, . want assurance of greater liberty and safety of travel throughout Corea. J apanese newspapers received at the Legation here recentn 6how, with but few exceptions, a con sensus of editorial opinion favorable to the attitude assumed by the Government. Commander Georere F. F. Wilde has been selected to succeed Capt. Robley D. EiVans as naval secretary of the light house board. This is one of the most im portant shore duties in the service, as Capt. Evans has been practically the executive officer of the lighthouse estab lishment. Commander Wilde is an able officer, who is at present attached to the naval war college at Newport. He will enter upon his new duty on August 16th when Capt. Evans leaves to assume com mand of the cruiser New York. malaria kept off by taking: ; rowrrs Iron 'mm titers, ani WILMINGTON, N. C SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1894. REMARKABLE RESULTS Obtained, from Experiments With' an American Smokeless Powder for 1 Bis Guns. . Washington, July 21. The naval ord nance officials, who are conducting ex haustive experiments at the Indian Head proving grounds with the view of ob-i taming a satisfactory smokeless explo sive for big guns, were astonished yes terday by the remarkable results ob tained with a sample submitted by an American company. 'With eighty-five pounds of Leonard nitro-glycerine smoke less powderbebind a 250 pound projec tile in an" 8-inch rifle, 40 calibres in length, the enormous muzzle velocity of 2,650 feet per second was secured with chamber pressure of only 14.8 tons. - What a remarkable velocity this is can be appreciated by comparing it with the best brown hexagonal powder, the regu lar service explosive, which under sim ilar conditions, gives but 2,100 feet, with 15 tons pressure. The Leonard powder, however, is a nitro-glycerine compound, and its keeping qualities have yet to be demonstrated. In the naval service where the vessels make long cruises . fre quently in tropical latitudes, explosives composed in part of nitro-glycerine have deteriorated rapidly, and some become unfit for use. If tlw new powder, how ever, gets the expectations of its makers, who claim to have provided against the development of defects by keeping, the navy has at least secured a smokeless explosive incomparably superior to any produced by European nations.' The Association of So other Business ! i Men. New York, July 21, Mr. Hugh R Garden, president of the Association of Southern Business Men, recently organ ized for the purpose of promoting trade i between th8 North and the South, has made ihe following communication: General Manager. k u "Dear Sir: I have appointed the fol owing gentlemen members of the sey- eral bureaus provided for in article 4, sections 10 and 11 of the articles of asso ciation, the member first named in each. bureau to be the chairman.

A Deputy Sheriff Shot by a Drunten Man. : Columbia, S. C, July 21, The State campaigners are at their respective homes taking a rest. The campaign will be resumed Tuesday at Winnsboro. j To-day at Eastover, near Columbia, a county political meeting was held. For fear of trouble, several deputy sheriffs were appointed to enforce the law and keep order. The meeting was conducted quietly and no trouble occurred from it. A drunken man named Joyner was hanging around the meeting and seemed impressed with the idea that one of the deputies named Bradham had a warrant for his arrest. Friends tried to persuade 1 him that he was mistaken and get him off the grounds. While Bradham had his back turned and was listening to the speakers Joyner hred on him with . a double-barrel shot gun and put a load of buck shot in Bradham's hips Bradham is dangerously wounded and is now in the city hospital. , A people s party club was organized at Lexington to-day. The club will not participate in the present State cam-i paign, but are preparing for the Presi dential struggle of 1896. Good material is in the club and they intend to push the organization of clubs all over the State. The Vigilant Again Victorious. Kingstown, Ireland, July 21. Luck in faint breezes and ability in brisk winds gave victory to the Vigilant to-day in the fifty mile race, three times over the kite shaped course of the Royal St. George's Yacht club. The Briton was beaten 3 minutes and 39 seconds actual time. With an allowance of 1 minute and 10 seconds the Britannia's defeat will be 2 minute3 and 29 seconds. The contest was long drawn out, the average speed being about 6.6 nautical miles per hour. The Vigilaht's time was 7 hours, 50 minutes and 3 seconds; the Britannia, 7 hours, 53 minutes and 42 seconds. There were moments when there was some real racing, but, ; taken as a whole, the contest was inconclusive. The Vigilant led at every mark save one. and was in" a brisk run to the Kish light ship on the third round nearly 9 minutes ahead. There was a depressing influence for the Yankee yachtsmen in the weather they noted as they emerged from the companion ways this morning and cast a weather eye skyward. - The purse for which the yachts con tented is valued at $3,500. False Rumor of Attempted Assassi nation. Paris, July 21. There is , no truth in the report that an attempt was made to day to assassinate the representative of President Casimir-Perier at the funeral of the late M. le Comte de Lisle, in the church of St.- Sulpice. A peddler of knives, who was in the church, acci dentally dropped a knife from the stock he was carrying. The report that he in tended to murder M. Challemel-Lacour, President of the Senate, who repre sented President Uasimir-rener at the funeral, was absolutely without founda tion. i HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. TO CHANGE THE MANNER OP ELECTING SENATORS. The Joint Resolution Providing For Amendment of the Constitution I Adopted'-The Indian Appropri I ation Bill Sent To.Confer- , en.cn The Postal Clerk f Reinstatement Bill j ' Under Discussion. j Washington, July 21,The Speaker announced the regular order to be a vote on the Tucker joint resolution, providing for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people. As this was a proposition involving a change of the Constitution, the affirmative votes of two-thirds of the members were neces sary to its passage. The yeas and nays were demanded and the result was an nouncedyeas, 137; nays, i 49. ... Two. thirds having voted in the affirmative, the joint resolution was declared to have passed, accompanied by applause. It was ,the second-time the House had thus de clared itself on the' question. The joint resolution reads as follows: i Resolved, That in lieu of the first para graph of section 3 of article 1, of the Con stitution of 1 the IJnited States, and in lieu of so much of paragraph 2 of the same section as relates to the filling of vacancies, and in lieu of all of paragraph Heutiou t oi saiU; article i, m so far as the same relates to any authority in Congress to make or alter regulations as to the times or manner of holding elections for Senators, the following be proposed as an amendment to the Con stitution, which shall be valid to all in tents and purposes as part of the Consti tution when ratified by the Legislature of thirty-four of the States: , " "The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof at large, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall haye the qualifications requi site for electors of the most numerous branch of the State Legislature. , The times, places and manner of holding elec tions tor benators shall be as prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof. When vacancies happen in the repre sentation of any State in the Senate the Executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacan cies, providing, that the Legislature of any State may empower the Executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people 'fill the vacancies by election as the Legislature may direct. This amendment shall not be so con strued as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes j valid as part of the Constitution." lOn motion of Mr Holman, non-con-currence was voted cn the Senate.amend- ments to the Indian Appropriation bill and a conference was agreed to. j By unanimous consent the considera tion of business in the morning hour was dispensed with and the Bynum bill, pro viding for the re-employment as fast as vacancies occur, of those railway postal clerks who were dismissed froTn the ser vice between March 15, apd May 1. 1889 (when the service was placed under the civil service law) was taken: up. in ac cordance with the terms of the special order agreed upon yesterday. The bill did not come to a vote and the House at 3:30 o'clock p. m. adjourned until Monday. - s I r j i Birmingham Swept by Fires. Birmingham, Ala., July 21.4-The par ticulars of the most disastrous conflagra tion Birmingham has witnessed are these: The fire broke out at 1 o'clock this morning ma four-story building-occu pied by the Stowers Furniture company, Twenty-second street and First avenue. The entire m tenor of the building was ablaze before the fire was discovered. It soon communicated to the Caldwell hotel across the street, which was a building of six stories and the largest hotel in Alabama. The guests were gotten out as rapidly as possible, down the fire es capes and stairways. After hard work by the police and Manager Freeman, all the guests were rescued alive, but barely escaped in time, and saved comparatively nothing of their personal effects. The hotel is a total loss. At 2:30 o'clock another fire was com municated to the four-story building -on Second avenue, and threatened the de struction of the entire city. The fire department, happily, managed to check the flames here. I The losses are as" follows : Caldwell hotel, $330,000 insurance $175,000. Stowers Furniture company, $15,000; in surance $8,000. Perry Mason Shoe com pany, $35,000; insurance $25,000. J. W. Johnson building, $60,000; insurance $40,000. Other losses, $50,000, insurance $20,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery. When' the flames were at their worst, aid was telegraphed for to Montgomery and Meridian, but the fire was gotten under control and the order counter manded before the fire companies from these cities could arrive. It is not be lieved any lives were lost, though sensa tional stories to that effect were sent. Highest of all in Leavening Power. i Latest TJ. S Gov't Report. Li .Xi s&s& SENATOR at,t,ent;g On the Sugar Trust investigation by tne senate Committee His Con- elusions and Recommen dations. I Washington, July 21. Senator Allen, Populist, in an additional report on the sugar investigation, says: j"In view of the fact that the report of Senators Gray and Lindsay in ' which I concur i does not set forth the facts in this case as fully as I think they should be stated, I have deemed it perfectly prpper to file a separate and additional report. 1 - - x' fThe testimony shows to my mind quite conclusiyely that contributions were made by the Sugar trust to both the Republican and Democratic parties for campaign purposes. ij - fit is true that these witnesses testified that their contributions were made for local and State purposes, butj there is no doubt in my mind that the money went into the general campaign fund of those States and was used as much for National as for State and local purposes. I think the American Sugar Refining company prpper, or more cDmmonly known as the Sugar trust, has been in the habit of con tributing money to the National cam paign fund of both the Democratic and Republican parties through its president, wth the expectation, if notithe implied promise, that which erer party suc ceeded to power, the interests of the company should be cared for! by it. This deduction is fully warranted by thetesti mony taken by us. ' i f f'The testimony showskhai two Sena tors, the Hon. John R. Mcpherson of New Jersey, and th9'Hon. Matthew S. Quay of Pennsylvania, did f engage . in speculating in what are known as Sugar stocks or certificates during the pendency of the present Tariff bill before the Sen ate. As their testimony accompanies this report and is self -explanatory, I will do no more than to say that I , think it fully discloses the necessity r for a law prohibiting this practice." Senator Allen also thinks i that a law should be passed speedily wjiich, when a committee reports that a witness duly summoned before it is recalcitrant, or refuses to answer germane questions put to i! him by the committee, will4 require him to be brought promptly before the bar of the Senate, and there,!without de lay and unnecessary debate!,' the Vice President, or the presiding officer, shall repeat the questions to him: and if he shall refuse to answer them he shall, by proper resolution, without delay or debate, be placed in confinement until he shall purge himself of contend pt. Unless laws of this kind can be enacted and be promptly and in good faith enforced, all Congressional inve3tigationsjwill be fail ures and fall short of accomplishing any useiui or practical purpose.!
