SOUTHERN SECURITIES. Ex-Secretary Herbert's Prediction as to Their Coming Into Universal Favor New '-Industries for the South A $600,000 Copper Minine Company for Northfear. olina. -j. . ' Baltimore, April 22. The Manufac turers' -Recprd, of Baltimore, publishes this week an interview with ex -Secretary of the Navy Herbert, in which he takes the ground that as soon as the conservatism of the southern people and the inherent soundness of their principles shall he made sufficiently widely known, it will become the cus tom in financial circles to favor south ern securities. He bases his idea of the conservatism of the south upon the fact that a population of unmixed An- glo-'Saxonism has been trained under common law institutions to regard pre cedent and to venerat law and order and justice. He admits that, there has been in the south a touch of the anti- corporation craze, hut from his stand point, iwhich is exceptionally good for obtaining a broad view of existing con ditions, he sees a passing ox the evil and he predicts that it can never live long enough or hectfme sufficiently vig orous to do any real damage in a southern atmosphere. The age of ma chinery and large enterprises, he is convinced, is leading southerners to ap preciate the .advantages of associating labor and capital in corporate enter prises for the utilization of inventions and that the day is not far distant when the politician of the south who indulges in wholesale and indiscrimi- Liiate abuse of corporations will be-put down as an enemy to the best inter ests of his Country. He said: : "It would be worth -many millions of dollars for the south's future develop ment if our people should right now take the lead in manifesting a spirit of fairness toward the railroads, as thfey have abundant " encouragement for doing, by reason of the fact that most of our railroads are managed on such liberal plans as to deserve popular co operation, having as a rule voluntarily adopted policies of respect for the pub lic's rights 3d calculated ; to pro mote the pumic welfare." The industrial announcements for the week noted hy The Manufacturers'- Record Included quite a large number of important manufacturing", enter prises.

A Tnrbulent Debate Over Disorganized Committees of the Senate Senator Moi gan Pays His Kenpects to Speaker ReetJ, The Kelson Substitute Bankruptcy Bill Passed by Overwhelming Majority Tte Death, of Congressman Holman An nounced. , ' SENATE. Washington, April 22. The session of the senate today was one of the most eventful since congress assembled. It opened with4Bsroposition for an offi cial expression of' sympathy to the Greeks in their struggle with Turkey. This soon was merged into a turbulent dehate over the disorganized state .of the senate, during which Senator Mor gan characterized Speaker Reed as the "Great White Filibuster." Later in the day the Nelson bankruptcy bill was passed by the decisive vote of 49 to 8. Senator Allen, of Nebraska, offered a resolution providing that the chief executive express the sympathy of the American people to the government of Greece. The senator declared that the present contest was one between Chris tianity and paganism. - At the request of Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, the resolution was referred. Senator Davis promising speedy action; The debate on the senate committees aroused Senator Morgan to a speech of unusual severity. He spoke of "die--tatorshlps;" of - the subordination of public business to politics. He eharacjr. terized the condition of inaction in the house of representatives, as "the most gigantic and unheard of filibuster" ever attempted. In conclusion he said that the speaker of the house, who had been known as the "Great White Czar" should be hereafter known as the "Great White Filibuster." Another stirring chapter to the same subject was added by Senator Allen who proposed a complete cessation of senate business except to consider ap propriation bills until the committees were filled. The resolution led to an other heated debate, in which Senators Chandler," Gear and Allen participated. The resolution finally went over. - The bankruptcy bill as passed is the substitute framed by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota. The success of this sub stitute in displacing the committee bill was a great surprise and disappoint ment to the judiciary committee, which had reported a comprehensive bill, known as the Torrey bill. It was re garded as a personal triumph of Sen ator Nelson. The Nelson bill, as pass ed, provides for voluntary and invol untary bankruptcy, but the theory of its author was to free it from harshness ,and make it of substantial benefit to debtors' and creditors. The eight votes in the negative were: Berry, Clay, Gorman, Gray, Lindsay, McEnery, Morgan, Pettus. On the announcement of the death of Representative Holman, the senate ad journed as a mark of respect, the ad journment being until next Monday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The house today adopted a special order for the consideration of the sen ate amendments of their Indian Ap propriation bill without reference to a committee. Democratic dissensions again came to the surface. Mr. Bailey and his follow ers joined with the republicans on this proposition after the special order had been modified so as to cover the appro priation bills. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, protested- vig7 orously against the course, but only had a following of twenty-four, not enough to get a second Vote. Mr. Simp son, of Kansas, is out of the city and therefore was not in evidence. The senate amendments of minor im-. portance were concurred in, except the one removing the Indian supply depot from Chicago to Omaha. The amend ment relative to the opening of the Uncompaghe reservation was not act ed upon today. While it was being de bated, the death of Judge Hclman was announced. The usual resolutions were adopted and a committee of ten was appointed te accompany the remains to their final resting place. As a further mark of respect the house adjourned. DEATH OF HON. W. S.

The weather was all thatcould be desired and the total at tendande reached the enormous figure! of 61,430. Philadelphia led with 17,014. As a rule the scores were close and the games -hotly contested. The opening contest1 in this city was witnessed by a large audi ence, among whom was Speaker Reed and a number of other politicians as well as a great many society people.' The Sena tors and Bridegrooms were evenly match ed and but for DeMontieville's wild throw in the sixth inning, the home team would undoubtedly have won. A number of New' Tork ! enthusiasts journeyed to Philadelphia and saw the Giants taken into camp to the tune of E to 1. The game Was rather dull and long drawn out, and on the part of the New Yorkers was somewhat unsteadily and poorly played. Their four errors, all wild throws,., gave the local clubn their runs? In the seventh inning Taylor and Hall man reached first on wild throws by Davis and Joyce, and La Joie then sent both home with a three base drive to left centre field. La Jole scored on Dele hanty's hit. The Phillies lost a chance for several runs by careless base running Rusie joined th(New Yorkers today. He is in Excellent condition and will begin practice with the team tomorrow. At Baltimore, the Champions defeated the Bostons in th'e presence of 13.000 en thusiasts. For six innings excitement ran high. Klobe Danz. who replaced Stlvetts in the middle of the sixth, showed great speed, but proved wild and ineffective. The season was opened by a parade of the home and visiting teams through the principal streets-of the city. The proces sion wa headed by the Fifth regiment band and'-drum corps and following tnem came a lone: line of handsome equipages bearing Manager -Hanlon, Treasurer Von' jJer.Werst, a host or prominent citizens who are devotees of the" game and the players". A handsome float draped In red, white and blue held aloft the Templa, cup and the penants of '94, '95 and '96. The strong Cleveland team met 'defeat at - the hands of Louisville, the "tail enders" of the league. The latter out played their , opponents both in the field and , at the bat. The Clevelands scored their first and only run in the first in ning on Burkett's single, a sacrifice, Frazer's wild pitch and an infield hit. For the remainder of the game Frazer had the Spiders at his mercy, allowing them but three singles. Young pitched great ball until the sixth inning, -when four singles and a sacrifice netted three runs. Mayor Todd pitched the first ball across the plate and then made a short address to the players of both teams. It required ten innings to decide the gante at Cincinnati. After a hard fight the Reds won by a score of 8 to 7. In the eighth inning the score stood Cincinnati 4 and Chicago 6. In the nineth Irwin hit a hard one ta Pleffer.- who made a throw to Decker, allowing Irwin to' go to third. Rltchey then hit to first base, stole a base and scored on Schriever's grounder to Dahlen, tying the score. Ritchey's play ing was the feature of the day. Thorn ton started off with a three, bagger in the tenth. Pfeffer went out to Rhines, Griffith flied out to Burke and Thornton scored, leaving the score: Chicago 7, Cin cinnati 6. In the Red s half. Miller hit to left, Pietz went out to Decker, Vaughan hit for three bases, bringing Millier home. Irwin then hit to Dahlen and Vaughan scored. The smallest crowd, of - the day, 5,000, gathered at St. Louis, where the Pitts burg Pirates defeated the Browns 4 to 1. The visitors played a stronger, better game than the home team and earned their victory. The game was called at 3:45 o'clock, Pittsburg, taking the field. The first inning was featureless, except for the retirement on strikes of Smith, Pittsburg's, star batsman. In: the second inning both Pittsburg and St. Louis scored. That was the last of it for the Browns. Pittsburg scored easily fn the sixth and picked up two more runs in the eighth on Brodie's double over first base.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon while King "Humbert was on his way, to the races, a man name Pietro Aeciarito, an iron worker out of employment, attempted to stab his majesty with a dagger. His assailr ant,' who ; was waiting outside St. John's gate, rushed , up to the carriage in which his majesty was seated and attempted to stab him. The king avoided the dagger Ty rising from his seat. Aeciarito, seeing1 he had failed in his attempt to assassinate the king,1 threw away his dagger. He was im mediately arrested by two carabineers, while his majesty calmly ordered his coacjjman to drive on. The news, spread with great rapidity and when the king1 reached the royal stand at the race course, it was soon surrounded by a cheering' multitude. The members of the diplomatic corps present at the races and a number of other distinguished people' sent tneir congratulations to the king on his es cape. King Humbert treated the mat ter lightly and remarked: "It is only one of the little incidents Of my trade." The king remained at the race course with his nephew; the duke of Aosta, until the royal derby was run. . Aeciarito is 24 years of age and a na tive of Artegna, a village of the prov ince of Udine, three miles 1 south of Gemona. ' , ' ' His majesty returned to the Quirinal, followed by hundreds of carriages and thousands of people, who gathered about the palace and gave him an im posing and frantic ovation. They call ed for the royal hymn and the band of the guard on duty at the palace played it- repeatedly. King Humbert and Queen Margaret were greatly moved by the popular demonstration and twice appeared on a 'balcony of the palace and bowed their acknowledg ments of the frantic cheering of the populace.
