VOL. XL SALISBURY. N. C, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 19,1898. NO. 12. VALG9TT ADDRESSES SEIIflTE IN REGARD TO THE WORK BIMETALLIC COMMISSION. OP MARK HANHA FORMALLY SWORN IN New Senator Is Cordially Rmlrtd B; III Colleagues Many Witness the Day's Doings. Washington special says: In an ticipation of an interesting session of the senate Monday, all of the galleries were -well filled some time before the senate convened. The long-looked-for speech of. Senator Wolcott was the drawing card. - Mr. Hanna, who has just been elect ed senator from Ohio, made his. first appearance on the floor since his elec tion, lie was cordially greeted by His colleagues on both sides. Mr. Foraker presented the creden tials of Mr. Ilanna for the remainder .of Mr. Sherman's term of six years, euuing juarcn 4, jioov. Xhey were read. As there was no objection to the administration of the oath of office Mr. Foraker escorted Mr. Hanna to the vice president's 'desk and the oath was administered, Senator Wolcott gpeaks. Mr. Wolcott summarized the work of the bimetallic commission and the present nituatioh by saying that it is apparent that for the time being it is useless to count on any co-operation from Great Britain towards a bimetal lic agreement, and that while France to its old position as a stsndard of value equally with gold, she insists that the problem is one which demands international action and the co-operation to some adequate extent of other leading commercial nations oi the world. Questions of possible future negoti ations between France, the. United StilteH find ntlipr frTintriH nrwl question of change of ratio, are for the moment held in abeyance. While we hope for continued joint action, France on os no further duty to us. 'lt is my sincere conviction," he raid, "that an international bimetallic agreement is still feasible, by the terms of which, certain countries will join us and open their mints to the unlimited coinage of silver, and others will contribute to the plan an enlarged uro of. that metal as money; 3 t 11.' IV. - 1 1 mm x puj iuih iuu mure ireeiy uecautse x Mian cive way upon tne commission to somebody" more fitted for such ne gotiations and better able to give them his constant time. This result cannot bo brought about without the expendi ture of both time and patience, and the persons (entrusted with the duty of negotiation must have back of them the hearty support of the president and of congress. He thought it might be necessary to chango the ratio to something like 20 to 1. Referring to the attitude of Secreta ry Gage on the financial question, con trusting it with tho president s posi tion, he said of Secretary Gage's re marks upon his currency bill. "The two statements are utterly at variance, and contradictory to each other. They cannot be reconciled. This is not the proper occasion to analyze the bill of the secretary. It will reach limbo long before it reaches the senate. But I do not intend to , discuss the bill which the president's message specifically does not indorse; and it is premature to criticise the sec retary's republicanism, for his advent into the party and the cabinet were practically contemporaneous. We must accept the situation. In my opinion, the great majority of the members of the republican party are bimetallists. and the fact that they are misrepre sented by a cabinet officer is not pleasing, but it is endurable. . "The selection of the member of his official. household is the president's own affairs, and so long s he stands upon the question of bimetallism where he has ever stood, there is no serious ground for apprehension. But even .in the inconceivable event that the chief magistrate of this people should in the excercise of his judgment deter mine to countenance the final fasten ing upon this country of burdens of the gold standard, I trust we way still find warrant for faith and hope in the pledges of the party and the wisdom of its counsels." MORE TIME GRANTED. Taylor Men Were Not Ready To Proceed With Nomination. ' A Nashville dispatch 6ays: The democratic caucus of members of the legislature met Monday night. Rep-J reseutative x ltzpairicK, a iuciunn man, urged immediate nomination of a United States senator. Mr. Parker, supporter of Governor Taylor, pleaded for delay. Mr. Brandon, for McMillin, said a short delay would be fair and could hurt no one of the candidates. The caucus thereupon adjourned until Wednesday night without voting on the senatorial nomination. TWO CONSULS DROWNED. Boating Party Meets With a Disastrous Catastrophe. - Advices received Monday from Co lon, Colombia, state that a boating party consisting of tlie United States consul, W. W. Ashby, Dr. Hafemann, the German consul,; Master Mechanic Mott and four others, are supposed.to have been drowned. The body of the boatman has already been recovered. SOUTHER!? PROGRESS. Tho New Indue tries Established Dnrlna- the Past Week. Southern correspondents report en couraging prospects in all lines of trade for the new year. A- feature of the week is the increased number of new industrial enterprises, prominent among them being the organization of companies with large capital to develop valuable water power in Geor gia and Tennessee. . Furnace operators in the south re port inquiries for iron more numerous than for a long time and orders are booked ahead for .several months. Alabama iron shows especial activity, and among the large orders being filled at Birmingham is one for 10.000 tons of iron from Japanese brokers. The Clifton Iron Co.'s furnace at Ironaton will be put in blast Feb. 1, and the No. 3 furnace of the Sheffield Coal, Iron and Steel Co. will be blown in about Feb. 10. The Rome, Ga., Fur nace Co. has received an order for 6,000 tons of high grade product, which will keep the furnace busy nearly four months. Consumers of steel billets are ask ing for figures covering the year, but the mills are not selling, that way. The demand for billets, pipe and structural material is havy and prices are stiffening. Heavy orders are booked from the railroads for spring and summer delivery. The coal trade in the mining dis tricts of the south is still active. Coal is moving out rapidly, taxing the out put of the mines at many points and some operators are compelled to run extra time to supply the demand. Among the most prominent new in dustries reported for the week are the following: The American Dynamo Engine and Motor Lamp Co., capital $150,000, Memphis, Tenn., a 100-bar-' rel flouring mill at Brownwood, Tex. ; furnace works to cost $100,000 at At lanta, Ga. ; the Pyrites Mining Co., capital $250,000, at Alexandria, Va.; the Mooseland & Kootenai Mining Co., capital $10,000, at Louisville, Ky. ; the 'Isbell Corundum Co., capital $250,000, Shooting Creek, N. C. ; the Water Gas Heating Co., capital $25,000, Norfolk, Va.; the Atlanta Qa.. Water Power Co., to represent a probable invest ment of $1,000,000, and the Muscle Shoals Power Co., Sheffield, Ala., to erect a $500,000 plant. - A hosiery mill be erected at Cuero, Tex. ; the Enterprise Manufacturing Co., capital $10,000, has been char tered at Mobile, Ala. , and the Harlow Lumber Co., capital $15,000, at Har low, Ark. A $25,000 sash and door mill will be established at Valdosta, Ga. , and other woodworking plants at Boiling and Mobile, Ala. ; Cordele, Ga. ; Nash ville, Tenn. ; Cleveland, Tex, and Norfolk, Va.

A special of Monday from Boston, Mass., says: The 80,000 or' more killed operatives employed in about 70 of the chief cotton mills of the New England states have come under the sweeping order of 'a new wage scale. This reduction brings on in New Bedford, -Lewiston and Bidde ford, Maine, labor strikes which may prove the beginning of an industrial battle greater in extent and more dis astrous in effect than any in the pre vious history of cotton manufacturing in the United States. The battle against the corporations undoubtedly would have been fought everywhere had not the voice of the men and women who are ill prepared at this time of the year to go into idle ness been heeded by the conservatives. As it is, the great majority of per sons employed in nine corporations in New Bedford and one corporation each in two Maine cities will take upon themselves the task of forcible resist ance to the reduction. In New Bedford the nine corpora tions represent 22 mills, with over 770,000 spindles, or 21,000 looms, giving means of livelihood to nearly ten thousand. The strikes will be directed by the labor union, the lead being taken by the Mule Spinners union, the national executive committee of which has sanctioned the strike of opposition and promised financial aid. . Gen. Ioncs treat's Bookkeeper. A Washington dispatch says: Gen eral Longstreet, United States railroad commissioner, has appointed Mr. Al ton Angier, of Georgia, as his book keeper. . . . IMMIGRATION RILL PASSED. Goes Throuch By a Vote of 45 to 28 It's Provisions.' The senate Monday passed the Lodge bill restricting immigration ia- to the United States.

A COLLIERY DISASTER. Seven Miners Tead and Tw entj-Flve Others May Not Escape. A dispatch from Gleiwitiz, Prussian Silesia, nnounces a terrific colliery rm.. disaster at Zabareo. The uwuigcu Liuz colliery caught fire Sunday and of the 15 men brought to the surface seven died. It is feared that 25 oth ers, whose escape was cut off, have perished. A FIGHT MAfllST H'KElalA SENATOR ALLEN STRONGLY OP POSES MS CONFIRMATION. SAYS M'KENNA. IS INCOMPETENT, And That Appointment Is Weakest Kver Made Other Features of the Day In Congress. A Washington special says: Almost the entire four hours of the executive session of the senate Friday were de voted to the indirect consideration of the nomination of Hon. Joseph Mc Kenna, now attorney general, to be associate justice of the supreme court. The discussion was the result of an effort on the part of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, populist, to secure a post ponement for two weeks. In the end a compromise was reached deferring consideration for a week on the con dition that the Nebraska senator should agree to allow a vote to be taken on that day. The Hawaiian treaty was not touched upon during the session. The debate upon Mr. McKenna's nomination was precipitated by Sena tor Hoar, chairman of the committee on judiciary, who called up the nomir nation in accordance with his notice of Thursday, and asked for immediate action. In doing this Mr. Hoar spoke briefly of the opposition of Mr. Mc Kenna, saying that the judiciary com mittee had investigated most of the charges made and had reached the conclusion that they were without foundation. He said that the greater number of charges had been made by the members of the American Protect ive Association, and that as they had been founded solely upon" the fact that Mr. McKenna was a Catholic in reli gion, they had not been deemed worthy of serious consideration. Senator White, of California, also spoke of the effbrfs of the American Protective Association to interfere with the course of the senate in giving proper attention to a question, the de termination of which should depend upon considerations of fitness and jus tice as between man and : man rather than appeal to bigotry; prejudice' and a false claim of patriotism. As for himself, while he did not con ; tend tha Mr. McKenna was a giant in ,his legal, attainments, till he be lieved bim to be an honorable man, a competent lawyer and a just juxist.and he should support his confirmation. It was here that Mr. Allen inter posed an objection to immediate ac tion, and characterized the nomina tion as the weakest ever sent to the senate. Ye said Judge McKenna was too narrow, had not sufficient legal training and wasn no way qualified to fill the position. - In the open session of the senate, Clay, of Georgia, presented petitions signed by several hundred Georgians protesting against the passage of the so-called anti-scalping bill which were referred to the committee on interstate commerce. ' The house, on motion of Mr. Cooper, of Texas, considered the bill to reim burse the boo agents of the'Metho dist Episcopal church, south, in the sum of $281,000. Mr. Gaines, of Nashville, and Mr. Cooper, of Texas, made some arguments asking for the passage of the bill as reported by the committee on war claims. The house -managers decided not to praceed with the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation, but to give the day for the considera tion of private bills. CUBAN SCARE - CALMS DOWN. Consul Lee Reports That Perfect Qnlet Has Been Restored. A Washington dispatch states that the Cuban scare had -subsided Friday, and little interest or anxiety was man ifested in it in official circles. Presi dent McKinley was unusually free from callers, and even the office seekers were not on hand in their usual number's. The first congressional caller was Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, who came at half past 9 o'clock. Shortly before 10:30 o'clock Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Senator Piatt, of Connecticut!, put in an appearance, but none of these visitors discussed foreign affairs with Mr. McKinley.

At the conference of .the populist leaders held in St. Louis a new politi cal party was christened. It was given the cognomen of "People Party." After lengthy discussions, the mode of procedure for future action was agreed upon. A report was adopted as follows, in part: - - To the people of the United States: The fusion movement consummated at St. Louis in July, 1806, and the inex cusable treatment of oar candidate for vice president in the campaign that followed, gave rise to such dissatisfac tion among the rank and-file of the people's party as to threaten tne abso lute dismemberment of the only politi cal organization honestly contending for the social and political rights of the laboring and producing classes of the country. - "It has been the purpose always oi the committee to be courteous to the national committee and our ' supreme desire has been at all times to promote a' harmonious co-operation with said committee, that factional differences might be obliterated, our party pres tige regained and our organization re stored toits once splendid estate. This committee feels confident of its ability to show that it is no fault of ours that the national committee is not present as a body today, but it does not choose to waste valuable time in wrangling over questions of official etiquette. We avow it to be our sin cere purpose now as ever, heretofore, to promote in every honorable way the reform movement on true populist lines, and we deem the issues too mo mentous and the dangers threatening free government too imminent to allow us to pause ; to . consider personal grievances or affronts, or to permit wounded dignity-, real or imaginary, to overshapow patriotic duty. "Under present conditions our be loved organization ia slowly but sure ly disintegrating and our comrades are clamorous for aggressive action. ' 'Having in vain importun ed those who assumed to be our superiors to permit us to aid them in the grand work of reorganizing the . people's party, that it may accomplish its glori ous mission, we now; appeal to the people, the true, source of . all political power.' '. ; ;" . ' " The referenduuTcommittee appoint ed is as follows: - r - Messrs. Dixon, of Missouri; Tracey, of Texas; Reynolds, of Illinois; Mat singer, of Indiana, and McGregor, of Georgia, "x-.-- -,V A number of rules were adopted for government of the iratiotial organiza tion committee, among them, a rule that the national organization shall submit to a vote of the people's party any proposition when petitioned to do so by not less than 10,000 members of the party. This concluded the work of the con ference. On the adjournment of the organiza tion committee of the people's party, members of the national committee met at the Laclede hotel and adopted I the following resolution: "Resolved, That we, the members of the national committee present, in dorse the action taken by the organi zation committee and recommend that its provisions be carried into effect, believing that such action' will har monize all differences in the party." There were seventy-four members of the committee represented by mem bers present or by proxies and letters who favored a joint meeting of the na tional committee and organization committee in the spring. Forty states were represented at this meeting. CONGRESS SEEKS INFORMATION. President Is Asked by Resolution to Give Ills Cuban Plans. Senator Cannon, of Utah, presented the following resolution in the sen ate Thursday, and it was adopted: Resolved, That tho President is re quested, if in his opinion it is not in compatible with the public interest, to transmit to the senate at his earliest convenience a statement showing what measures are in force by this govern ment in the island of Cuba, and in waters contiguous thereto, to protect the lives, liberty and property of American citizens now dwelling in Cuba." . Late in the afternoon the first news of the day came to the state depart ment from United States Consul Lee, who telegraphed that everything was very quiet in Havana, and that there was no cause for apprehension or trou ble. INVESTIGATION IN ORDER. Senate May Bo Called Upon To Look Into - Hanna's Election. A Washington special says: It is understood that some senators have been notified of the probability of the eu.w veiug taneu upon to investigate the methods of Senator Hanna's re election to the senate. It is said to be the purpose of the Ohio managers of the oortosition to secure an investigation of Represen tative Otis charges of bribery by the Ohio senate, and they have made the inquiry whether, if the state cerate forwards properly formulated charges, they will or not receive the attention of the senate of the United States. SPINNERS PERMITTED TO STRIKE. Cnlon Unanimously Grants "Workmen Privilege of Walking Out. At a general meeting of the spin ners' union at Fall River Wednesday night, the spinners of the King Philip cotton mills asked permission to strike and it was unanimously granted. by the union. The opinion is general that the ac tion of the King Philip's spinners will result in the striking of the spinners in other fine goods mills. 110 i RIOTS IN HAVANA HA KB IJLHIXENT. CRISIS ffARSHIPS ARE AWAITING ORDERS. All Washington Is Discussing- the Latest Phase of an All-Absorbing Question. . Oreat Activity In Our Nary. A Washington special says : It ia the beginning of the end in Cuba. That is considered to be the real meaning of the rioting in Havana and the results to which it is sure to lead. All Washington was talking war Thursday. The talk of riots among the factions of Spanish soldiers and the sensational reports which had our entire navy headed that way made a deep impression at the Capital City. The' facts are, of course, that the rioting has been anticipated for some time as the result of interior dissen sions over . autonomy ; that the state department has been kept fully in formed, and that the real meaning of the order for the ships of the north Atlantic squadron to winter in Flor? id a bay is that they might be near the scene in case of an outbreak which might call for their services. The most significant feature of the developments of Wednesday and Thursday is found in the international dissension of which the rioting is the outward and . visible sign. This can mean only one thing.. Autonomy is a failure and Spain's possession of Cuba is doomed. ; Meanwhile, as has been said, the navy department is prepared for all emergencies, and although the offi. cials repeat their, statements that no orders have been sent to the ships in Florida waters to go to Havana they have . prudently shaped their pro gramme so as to have a ship ready a any moment that she might be needed by Consul General Lee. . it is said at the department that in case at any time it should be determ ined to send a ship to Havana the choice would fall on the Marblehead rather than the Maine. The ' reason for this choice probably is that the former is a swift cruiser and could cross the strait to Cuba in mnch less time than the Maine, while, though unarmored, she woujd be fnlly as ef fective for the protection of American interests in time of "riot as the beavy battleship. During the day a telegram came to the department, from the commander of the Essex announcing that he had sailed from St. Thomas for Port Royal, so the fleet of American ships in West Indian waters has thus another acces sion, the Essex, though a training snip, being still serviceable, espe- daily for landing parties. Quiet Not Restored. Further advices from Havana state that about noon Thursday a crowd gathered in front of the offices of El Diaria de la Maria shouting "Death to Diario." General Arolas used the regular troops to restore order and to compel the dispersal of the crowd, which kept up a continuous shouting on the streets near Central park. These people accuse El Diario de la Marina of being responsible for all the attacks made upon army officers and Spanish residents in the islands. They say that La Discussion and El Recon centrado received their cue from El Diario de la Marina. BANNA'S TRIUMPHAL MARCH. Greeted With Ovations All the Way From Columbus to Cleveland. Senator Hanna was received in Cleve- lana, u., Anursaay afternoon upon his return from Columbus with enthu siasm far greater than that which has been accorded any public man in that city in a decade. The senator was lustily cheered along the line of march, many busi ness houses practically suspending business for the time being. A pub lic handshaking reception occurred in the loby of the Hollenden and the sen ator was congratulated on all sides. Senator Hanna received an enthusi astic ovation all along the route from Columbus to Cleveland and at several points made brief addresses to the as sembled crowds. OREGON SENATOR LOSES.

A special from Pensacola,Fla., says: Last Friday night Herbert Seely and Miss Alice Caro, of Warrington, a town surrounding the navy yard, left in a buggy to attend ' a party At Mill- view, about ten miles away. , They arrived safely and were among the gayest of all the guests.

His head was lying on th9 young lady's lap. ' TO DEVELOP WATER POWER. Capitalists Secure Option On Lands Along Chattahoochee Blvar. An Atlanta special says: A develop ment of water power for eleo'Tical transmission, second only to that at Niagara Falls, is contemplated by a company of New, York and Pennsyl vania capitalists who have acquired control of the Chattahoochee river for sixteen mile, from Jones shoals to Power's ferry. : They have taken options on land valued at $175,000, including three shoals, which - will develop 11,000 horse power. : The work of securing options has in progress for many months, and in the meantime careful surveys have been made of the river and an elabo rate report on the water power and the cost of three masonry dams has been submitted. : ,- The intention of the projectors has been kept quie, but they have secured all the options they need and under legislation enacted at the recent ses sion of the general assembly are given power to condemn property needed. INNOCENT INDIAN BURNED! One Victim of Blob In Indian Territory Reported Jiot Guilty. i A dispatch from Earlboro, L T., says: incitement is still intense here over the recent burning at the stake of two Seminole Indians and the subse quent fear of an Indian uprising. Pub lic sentiment has favored the lynchers. At Wewoka. the capital of the Sem inole Nation, the sympathy is all the other way, for it is believed that the lynchers tortured and killed at least one innocent man. United States Commissioner Walter Jones is holding court at Wewoka and the deputies of the court are busy is suing subpoenaes and warrants in an endeavor. to bring tho lynchers to jus tice. As no attempt was made by the lynchers to hide their identity, it is probable that the lynchers will be ar rested by the United States authori ties. They can only be tried on the charge of .kidnaping and taking the murderers by force from the Seminole Nation. The killing of the Indians comes under Oklahoma jurisdiction. SILYER LEADERS ACTIVE.

HON.REXRUTTERWORTU DEAD. Public Official Succumbs to Pneumonia In Thomasvllle, Ga. . Hon. Ben Butter worth, who has been ill at the Piney Woods hotel, jThomasville, for . some weeks, died at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The end came peacefully and in his dying hour he was. surrounded by his Fife and children. . - Benjamin Butterworth was what ia : known as a 'tbirthright Quaker.' Those who knew him best during his busy career are unanimous in saying jf him "his daily life was an exem-. Jdary of jthe tenets , of. that good old t aith as that of. any public official ' Iould be." ' He was born in Warren county, Ohio )ctober 22, 1837, senate and was a member of the state of Ohio from War den and Butler counties in 1873-74; Vas elected, from the first Ohio dis trict to' the forty-seventh, fortb-ninth land fiftieth congresses and was re lelected to the fif ty-firjst congress as a .republican.- j During the war he attained the rank of major in an1 Ohio regiment. He was commissioner of patents first during the administration of Garfield and Arthur and his record made then and subsequently had great weight with President McKinley in selecting i him for that position. He was made secretary or the World's fair project early in the in ception' of that great enterprise, at Chicago during the early nineties and worked along in that capacity with honor to himself and profit to the company until its close." In Washington City; no less tban in his native state, Major Butterworth enjoyed a wide acquaintance and great popularity, and the news of his death, while by no means unexpected, caused general sorrow there. No public man probably had a larger circle of per-' sonal friends at the capital. He con tracted his fatal illness while on the stump in the late Ohio campaign. MONTHLY EXPORTS.
