ONE TOWN PARTIALLY BURNED Guerrilla Warfare Continues and Frequent Attempts at Ambush Are Made. A Manila special says: Of late the insurgents in Albay province, Luzon, have adopted harrassing tactics against towns which the Americans have garrisoned. They camp in the hills and mountains and constantly fire upon the American outposts. When the troops sally against them they scatter, returning when the Americans retire. They shoot burning arrows, and have thus burned a large part of the town of Albay. Indeed, most of the larger towns in the province are practically deserted, except by the garrisons. Scarcely any of the inhabitants return to their homes. They are camping in the interior, and it is supposed armed insurgents prevent them going back. It is reported that there is much suffering among them owing to lack of food. As a result of these conditions the hemp business in that section is seriously hindered and ships going for cargoes are compelled to take gangs of coolies to do their landing. Hemp held in the interior is quite inaccessible. General Bell will take two regiments and a battery through the provinces of North Camarines and South Camarines, going there on transports. Many insurgents retreated to that part of the island from Cavite and Batangas provinces. Another expedition will soon start to garrison towns along the north coast of the island of Mindanao. Guerrilla warfare continues south of Manila. Two attempts have been made to ambush the Americans. Colonel Schwan, while returning to Manila with his staff and an escort of 100 from Batangas, was attacked by the insurgents. The latter were dispersed, but the Americans had seven men wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Beacon, with six companies of the Forty-second infantry, had a two hours' fight with General Pio del Pilar's command, which attempted to ambush the Americans along the trail through Morong province near the lake. Here also the insurgents were dispersed, but the Americans had several wounded, among them a captain. General Bell is operating southward through Zambales province with a small force. Another expedition is proceeding northward from Subig. It is reported that the insurgent general, Alejandro, has recovered from his wound and has assembled a large force in that district. The bubonic plague continues. Eight cases were reported last week among the natives and Chinese. There is no excitement, however, and business and social life in Manila are undisturbed. Smallpox is prevalent among the natives along the railroad, and in the towns on the northern coast. Two officers of the Thirty-sixth infantry have died of the disease and another officer and several soldiers have been stricken. LEGAL BARRIER REMOVED. Seaboard Air Line Can Now Proceed With Consolidation. What is claimed to be the last legal barrier to the consolidation of the various lines composing the Scaboard Air Line system was removed Saturday by Judge Waddill, sitting in the United States circuit court at Richmond when he delivered his opinion refusing Ryan's application for injunction. The state senate committee at Richmond has, by a vote of 10 to 20, decided to report favorably the bill to incorporate the proposed new line from Richmond to Washington. OVER A MILLION LIABILITIES. Famous New York Stock Broker Files Pettition In Bankruptcy. A New York dispatch says: Anthony W. Dimock, twenty-five years ago a famous stock operator, head of the firm of A. W. Dimock & Co., bankers and brokers, Wall street, filed a petition in bankruptcy Saturday. His liabilities are set down at $1,292,735; his assets $150. Russia Admits Coal Free. On the proposal of M. DeWitte, the minister of finance, the czar of Russia has consented to the importation of coal, exclusively for the use of the Russian railways free of duty until September 1, next. VOL. XV. Russla Admits Coal Free. WOLCOTT GIVES WARNING. Senator Says the Abandonment of Bimetallism Would Be Fatal To Republicans. The final week's discussion of the pending financial bill was begun in the senate Monday. The speakers were two Republicans, Mr. Elkins, of West Virginia, and Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado, and one Populist, Mr. Butler, of North Carolina. Mr. Elkins advocated the passage of the pending senate measure in a brief but forceful argument. Mr. Wolcott, chairman of the international bimetallic commission of 1897, spoke for many Republicans who adhere to bimetallism and his speech, earnest and eloquent, was received with unusual attention. Mr. Butler advocated the adoption of his amendment providing for an issue of paper-currency by the government. A house bill for the preservation of the frigate constitution was passed, the measure providing that the ship should be restored as nearly as possible to its original condition. The following bills on the general calendar were passed: To construct a road to the national cemetery at Dover, Tenn., at a cost of $11,500; to carry into, effect two resolutions of the continental congress to be erected to the memory of General Francis Nash and William L. Davidson, of North Carolina, appropriating $1,000 for each; to encourage enlistments in the navy by providing successful applicants with an outfit valued at $45; to authorize Hon. A. S. Handy, at present minister of the United States to Greece, Roumania and Servia, to accept the decoration tendered him by the shah of Persia; to authorize the following naval officers to accept orders and decorations tendered them by the government of Venezuela—Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, Captain H. C. Taylor, Captain F. A. Cook, Captain C. D. Sigsgbee, Captain F. E. Chadwick, Captain C. F. Goodrich, Commander W. W. Meadrich, Commander M. J. H. Dayton, Commander F. M. Symonds and Commander C. C. Tood. BEFORE JUDGE TAFT. Application For Injunction of Kentucky Election Commissioners Is Heard. In the United States circuit court of appeals at Cincinnati, Monday afternoon, Judge W. H. Taft heard arguments for over three hours on the applications for injunctions against the Kentucky state board of election commissioners and the contestants for the state officers other than governor and lieutenant governor. The large courtroom was unable to hold all who came to the federal building for admission. Very many of the visitors were from the Kentucky side. The plaintiffs were represented by Bradley, Wilson, Sweeney and Yost, all of Kentucky. The defendants were represented by Scott, Hendrick, Hager and Maxwell, the latter being a member of the bar of Cincinnati and the others of Kentucky. After the conclusion of the arguments, Judge Taft advised counsel that he would announce his decision so far as the court having jurisdiction in the cases concerned at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. A TELEGRAM FROM BULLER. General Notifies Field Marshal Roberts of His Bad Flight. The war office at London has received the following dispatch from Field Marshal Lord Roberts, dated from the Modder river, Sunday, February 11th: "I have received a telegram from Buller as follows, dated Friday, February 9: "It was necessary after seizing Vaal Krantz to entrench it as the pivot of further operations. But I found after trying two days, that owing to the nature of the ground that this was impracticable. It was also exposed to fire of heavy guns in positions from which our artillery was dominated. It is essential to troops advancing on Ladysmith by Harding or Monger's drift to hold Vaal Krantz securely, and accordingly we are not pressing the advance by those roads, as I find we cannot make it secure." Ransom Holds Cotton. Ex-Senator M. W. Rauson, the biggest cotton growing North Carolinian, is still holding 1,000 bales of the present crop. The rise has so far netted him about $3,000. EIGHT AND A HALF CENTS. Hard Matter For Columbus Men To Get Cotton At That Figure. Cotton sold for 8 1/2 cents in Columbus, Ga. Tuesday, and was hard to get at that fancy figure. The big jump in New York was instantly responded to and before night people with cotton were hesitating before taking 8 and were taking of 8 1/2 cents. There were but few sales. Flitz Anxious to Flight. Bob Fitzsimmons has posted $5,000 with the sporting editor of The New York Journal as a forfeit to bind another match with Jim Jeffries, and issued an open challenge to meet any fighter in the world. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1900. TAYLOR DON'T SIGN Peace Negotiations In Kentucky Are Broken Off. TROOPS WITHDRAW FROM FRANKFORT Legislators Are Ordered Back to Capital. Contest Will Now Go to the Courts. A Frankfort dispatch says: Nearly every Republican committeeman was in the city Saturday. Several Republican members of the legislature were among the number, including Senator Kirk and Johnson and Representative Lewis. Shortly before 11 o'clock the doors of the capitol were opened and the state delegates went to the assembly room, the first time it has opened since the shooting of Governor Goebel. At 11 o'clock Governor Taylor accompanied by Private Secretary Todd, Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Thatcher entered the assembly rooms. His arrival was the signal for. a wild outburst of cheering, men standing on chairs and yelling and waving their hats in greeting. The doors were then locked and a guard placed at the door. After a two hours' session Governor Taylor definitely decided that he would not sign the Louisville agreement, and decided to allow the matter to be settled in the courts and will abide by their decision. Shortly after the meeting the following statement was given out: "After mature deliberation and conference with my friends from every section of the state, I have concluded to allow this controversy to take its due course, vigorously contesting every inch of ground and upholding the rights of the people to the uttermost. If those rights be destroyed, the responsibility for that destruction must rest with those who sit in judgment. "It is due to say that the eminent gentlemen, my friends, who secured the proposition resulting from the Louisville conference, acted in perfect good faith, from the highest motives of patriotism and did the very best they could. W. S. TAYLOR. During the conference Governor Taylor stated to the members that there were two courses to be pursued. First, to sign the Louisville agreement; the second to quietly withdraw the troops, allow the legislature to reconvene in the capitol building in Frankfurt; to call off the session now being held in London and to ignore the Louisville agreement entirely. Several speeches were made and it was soon apparent that the sentiment of the gathering was very strongly in favor of the second course, and this was adopted. PROCLAMATION ISSUED. The following proclamation was issued Saturday afternoon: FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 10, 1900.—The excitement recently prevailing in this city having to some extent subsided and there appearing now to be no necessity for the general assembly to remain in session in London, I do hereby by this proclamation reconvene the same in Frankfort, Ky., February 12, 1900, at 12 o'clock noon. Orders were at once issued to Gen. Collier to prepare for the departure of the troops, and in a very short time a large number of them were ready to leave. Six companies left Saturday night; more departed Sunday and only a small detachment remained by Monday morning. These, it is said, are retained only as a peace guard. Word was at once sent to the members of the Republican legislature, in session in London, that the next session would be in Frankfort, and a prompt reply was received to the effect that they would all leave in a body on Sunday, and be in Frankfort Monday. The action of Governor Taylor now returns the gubernatorial fight to the exact position it occupied on the day following the Goebel assassination, with the additional complication that there was then but one legislature and one governor in fact, whereas there are now two claimants for the position, and two separate bodies, each claiming to be the lawmaking power of Kentucky. LEAK IN GAS PIPE Causes Death of Engineer, His Wife and Baby at Chicago. Martin Jordan, an engineer, his wife, Mary, and their five months' old boy, were asphyxiated by gas last Saturday night in their home in Chicago. A leak in a gas pipe in the basement deluged the house with gas and when found by other members of the family had been dead for several hours. San Salvador Flame Swent. A cablegram from San Salvador, Central America, states that the city has been visited by a serious fire. The total loss is estimated at $1,000,000. ANTI=TRUST CONFERENCE League Meets In Chicago and Discusses Evil and Remedy. FAVORABLE PROGRESS IS MADE Congressman Sulzer, of New York, Makes a Forcible Argument Against Present Conditions. A Chicago special says: Monday night, at the close of the first day's proceedings of the anti-trust conference called by the National Anti-Trust League, good progress had been made with the set speeches, of which a dozen or more were delivered. Mayor Harrison welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city. Already, he said, the senate of the United States had been reduced to a small convention of the owners and representatives of the trusts. A few years more would see the house and our judiciary reduced to the same condition. Former Judge William Prentiss, of Illinois, was selected temporary chairman, and addressed the convention. The resolutions committee meantime was busy and formulated resolutions covering the following points: Government ownership of all railway and telegraph lines; the abolition of all special privileges by legislative enactments; placing on the free list all trust goods, and direct legislation from the people. The discussion in committee was carried out on those lines. An amendment was offered for the taxation of all frauises, but was voted down on the ground that such action would simply legalize special privileges. H. S. Bigelow was the first speaker at the night session. Congressman William Sulzer, of New York, received a hearty, reception when presented to the audience. He said: "The law on the statute books against trusts is clear and plain and the highest court in the land has passed upon its validity and sustained the constitutionality of its provision. The anti-trust law of 1890 declares that every contract or combination in the nature of a trust in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states or with foreign nations is a conspiracy, illegal and void, and punishable by fine and imprisonment. Under this act it seems to me every trust in the United States can be prosecuted for violation of the law, the charter annulled and the men behind it punished for conspiracy. Every trust by its very nature is in restraint of trade and commerce and in violation of this law. "How much longer will the people consent to be robbed and submissively permit a continuation of this outrage? The trusts have their being and grow by special legislation; they live and wax fat by governmental favoritism. If the question is ever presented whether the trusts shall own and run the government and enslave humanity, or whether the people shall own and run the trusts—not for the benefit of the few, but for the good of all—and free the industrial masses, then I shall vote for the people and in favor of government ownership of the trusts. "To sum it all up, the Republican party stands for Hanna, and the Republican party is Hanna." "The Democratic party is the party of the plain people. It is opposed to trusts and monopolies—to special privileges. It stands for the supremacy of the law. It believes in freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of action, freedom of trade and free institutions. It believes in the constitution, in fostering commerce, unfettering trade, establishing industry, aiding enterprise, maintaining equal opportunities, defending liberty, unshackeling the mind and the conscience and handing down unimpaired to future generations our free institutions." English Agents Killed. Advices from Rangoon, British Burmah, state that British Commissioners Kiddle and Sutherland, who had been engaged in the demarkation of the Burmo-Chinese boundary, have been murdered in the Monghem district. Consul Lifton was wounded, but escaped. Railroad Bridge Damaged. Three spans of the Tallassee and Montgomery railroad bridge, across the Alabama river, were washed away Tuesday night. The river was in a frightfully swollen condition by the heavy rains and considerable damage is the result. Tribune.

A VIGOROUS PLATFORM After a heated debate Thursday night the resolution committee of the anti-trust conference, in session at Chicago, decided to report in favor of government ownership of railroads and for their seizure on payment of actual value without payment for "watered stock or other fictitious values." The committee also unanimously favored direct popular legislation as a means of obtaining the result. President Lockwood, of the, antitrust league, said that he regretted that William J. Bryan's name was mentioned in the discussions and declared it was his intention to keep politics out of the conference. The platform unanimously adopted by the committee declares for government ownership of all public utilities and natural monopolies, government money, the referendum and direct legislation and the withdrawal of all protective tariffs from all articles controlled by a trust. Among other things, after urging the organization to deprive trusts of their power, it says: We make no assault upon business combination, for diminishing productive cost or augmenting productive efficiency. What we do ask is combinations for coercing producers and lessening production. It is such combinations that constitute the trust evil and they we would abolish, root and branch. When oppressive trusts are examined they are found to be combinations not for augmenting wealth, but for hampering its production; not for making things plentiful and cheap, but for making them scarce and dear. Their strength lies in a more intense concentration of monopoly privileges. The platform particularly attacks the Standard Oil trust to which it says monopoly engendering laws have committed the regulation of the peoples' needs and rights in one department of industry. "Their needs and rights in another have been by similar laws committed to the beef trust." A number of set speeches were heard at the morning and afternoon sessions of the conference. The night session was in the form of a mass meeting, which was held in the Auditorium and brought out some of the strongest speakers among the delegates, including John P. Altgeld, F. S. Monnett, Samuel M. Jones, John S. Crosby, George Fred Williams and Tom L. Johnson. Resolutions introduced by Judge Fleming, of Kentucky, were adopted by a rising vote, strongly condemning the currency bill before congress. A committee to prepare a memorial to the United States senate against the bill was provided for and the people of the country urged to gather at court houses, school houses and other public places to protest against the measure.

RIOTS AT MARTINIQUE. White Residents of Fort De France Appeal to Island Governor. Advices from Fort de France, Island of Martinique, state that the white inhabitants of La Francois, being threatened with death by rioting strikers, have sought refuge in Fort de France, the governor having declared it impossible to guarantee their lives. The managers of the plantations are requesting permission to organize forces of military for the purpose of protecting the persons' who are kept at work, but the governor will not accept the responsibility of authorizing such a step. NO 19 CARNEGIE MUST ANSWER FRICK Charges Are Brought Against Steel Magnate and Philanthropist. HE IS ACCUSED OF SCHEMING Business Partner Alleges He Was Fraudulently Driven Out of the Firm--Sult In Equity Filed. A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: Henry Clay Frick filed a bill in equity Tuesday in the court of common pleas No. 1 of Allegheny county against Andrew Carnegie and the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, praying first, for a decree that the pretended transfer of his interests in the company was and is null and void, and that he is the owner of all such interest and is entitled in every lawful way to represent and act for the same; for an injunction restraining the defendants from any interference with his interest in the said company and from excluding him from participation in the care and management of the assets and business. The bill in equity is quite lengthy and as summarized by Willis Cook, Esq., counsel for Mr. Frick, is as follows: In 1892 there were two limited partnerships: (1) Called Carnegie Bros. & Co., limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, which made steel rails and owned only the Edgar Thompson steel rail in braddock township, and (2) Called Carnegie, Phipps & Co., limited, with a capital of $5,000,000, which made all kinds of steel plates, structural material, iron forging, made the material and built bridges, made armor plates and made material for the same. Carnegie owned over 50 per cent of each of the old firms, and he, with Frick, Phipps and others owning interests in each, formed in 1892 what constituted a new partnership called the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited. In this Carnegie retained over 50 per cent and now has 581 per cent, while Frick has 6 per cent. Both old firms were merged into the new, which had a capital of $25,000,-000 and operated all the old works. This new firm was under the immediate care and supervision of Frick, as chairman, from 1892 to December 5, 1899. It greatly enlarged the capacity of its different works, enlarged their output and purchased other plants, ore mines, etc. THE ESTIMATES DIFFEBED. In November, 1899, Carnegie estimated the net profits for 1900 at $40,-000,000 and Frick then estimated them at $42,000,000. Carnegie valued the entire property at over $250,000,000 and avowed his ability, in ordinarily prosperous times, to sell the property on the London market for £100,000,000 sterling, or $500,000,000. In May, 1899, Carnegie actually received in cash, and still keeps, $1,170,-000 given him as a mere bonus for his ninety days' option to sell his $58 per cent interest in this steel company for $157,950,000. Frick's 6 per cent on that basis would be worth $16,238,000. Frick now alleges, right at the head of this enormously successful business, whereby at least in part he made for Carnegie three enormous profits and values, that Carnegie suddenly, and with malevolent intent toward him, on December 4, 1899, arbitrarily demanded of him his resignation as chairman, and this without any reason except to gratify Carnegie's malice. Frick, in the interest of harmony, gave his resignation and subsequently, on January 11, 1900, after Carnegie had thus deprived him of his office, he (Carnegie) demanded of Frick that he (Frick) should sell to the firm his interest in it at a figure which would amount to less than one-half of what this interest is fairly worth. Frick refused to sell at that price, but offered to sell and allow three men to value the interest sold. Carnegie refused this and left Frick, threatening him for not yielding to his demand. FRADULENT SCHEME CHARGED. Frick now alleges that after his resignation and at the time of this last interview, Carnegie was fraudulently and secretly, without Frick's knowledge or consent, attempting to carry out a scheme, which, if successful, would enable Carnegie, as Carnegie hoped, to confiscate Frick's interest in the firm at probably not over 33 percent of its real value; that is, say, not over $6,000,000 for what, on the basis of Carnegie's option, was worth $16,-288,000. All this, it is alleged, Carnegie did secretly, and purposely to conceal the knowledge thereof from Felick. The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. ST.

Registered Letter or Express Official Organ of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia A KNOWNED AS SECOND-GLASS MATTER AT THE SAVANNAH PORT OFFICE. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1900. Is the man who attempts to bribe voters the proper one to lead the people? DOYLE nor Love will no more enter the doors of the national convention as delegates, than the man in the moon. THERE are only two newspapers in the state that fever preachers dabbling into politics and lead factions, and these papers unfortunately are conducted by preachers. A LARGE per cent of the counties and districts of the state, have, unsolicited, endorsed Col. Deveaux, and the editor of the political-religious sheet, fabricates when he says that "He has been shut out by nearly every county and district." EVERY man, be he a president of a college or a minister of the gospel, has the right to carry out the functions of citizenship, and to advise the people the best course to pursue under all circumstances, but when they desire to go further in politics they ought to be man enough to leave their exalted positions. DEVEAUX AND LEAKEN. They Are the Standard Bearers of the First District. The republican convention of the First Congressional District was held on Wednesday at the Harris street hall. The meeting was called to order by Capt. L. M. Pleasant, the district chairman. Upon roll call it was found that delegates from nine counties were present, the county not represented being McIntosh. There were contests from two counties, which were amicably settled by the committee on credentials, and approved by the convention. Capt. Pleasant was elected temporary chairman and Mr. W. E. Moore temporary secretary. After the report of the committee on credentials, the temporary organization was made permanent. Col. John H. Deveaux and Hon. W. R. Leaken and Mr. S. O. Cherry were placed in nomination as delegates to the national convention. Mr. Cherry declined in favor of the other gentlemen who were unanimously elected, after eulogistic speeches were made by several of the delegates. Prof. S. B. Morse of this city and Mr. S. O. Cherry of Waynesboro, were elected as alternates. Capt. Pleasant and Mr. Moore were elected chairman and secretary respectively for the next four years. The meeting was a harmonious one. Stalwart republicans from the several counties were in attendance. Patriotic speeches were made by the delegates, and in fact a regular love feast was bad. Hon. W. A. Pledger honored the convention with his presence. 一 The opposition led by Love and Wright seeing their dire weakness sent to Atlanta for Cols. Johnson and Pledger to come on Tuesday to harmonize the differences that exist between themselves and the regular organization. Being anxious for harmony these gentlemen came and a conference was held. There were present nine men from each side. Several propositions were offered but were rejected. It was finally agreed that the two district conventions be held and allow the matter to be settled by the state convention. Four of the Love-Wright crowd voted against it, but it availed nothing. The representative of the regular organization voted solidly for it, because they are willing to rest their case in the hands of the state convention. The Love-Wright contingent held a meeting Tuesday night. They claimed to have had representatives from seven of the ten counties. It was mainly made up of snap-delegates, except a half delegation from McIntosh county. They elected Mr. J. F. Doyle and Rev Love to represent them at the national convention. After their meeting commenced they passed a resolution to exclude all from the hall that were not delegates. Upon this, we are informed, that over half of those present started to leave which would cause the hall to have a scant appearance; thereupon this order was rescinded and the visitors invited back. Their addresses were generally of a dirty and virulent order. J. W. B. B. The "Greatest Roman of them all"—Col. W. A. Pledger, who has been elected a delegate to the National Convention, and who will be further honored by being elected chairman of the State Convention. FALSELY SECURED. The Method of a Preacher to Carry His Point. In a religious (?) paper dated from this city and published this week there appeared an article headed "The Colored Preachers Speak in Defense of Prof. Wright." We do not care about the article because from the fact that it appeared in said sheet will cause the people of the city to view it askance; but seeing the names of some good gentlemen attached to it; we thought it best to show the methods adopted in securing their names to such a scurroulous article. The names attached with a few exceptions are of those who have only been in the city not sixty days and are not acquainted with affairs here. Why did he not secure the signatures of such ministers as Revs. J. J. Durham, D. D.; Alex. Harris, Alex. Ellis, D. D.; R. Bright, J. W. Roberts, G. W. Griffin, W. L. P. Weston, J. W. Whittaker, M. J. Maddox and others who are recognized among the leading divines here? We endeavored to see all of those whose names were used but were only able to see three. The first one seen declared that he did not sign said article and do not approve of it. We here publish what the three gentlemen said: TO THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:— I noticed the article this morning in the Baptist Truth under the head of "The Colored Preachers Speak in Defence of Prof. Wright" I beg to say that I never saw the article before this morning, and I declare my hands off. The parties that are in the fight must do the fighting. J. B. EPTON. Savannah, February 16, 1900. I have seen the article in the Baptist Truth headed "The Colored Preachers Speak in Defence of Prof. R. R. Wright" and do assert that while Prof. Wright has political aspirations that should not be prescribbed, yet I do not fully endorse all the sentiments contained in said article, and hereby disclaim any reflection on any of the parties concerned. C. C. CARGILE. I concur in the above with Rev. Cargile. R. H. SINGLETON. Reply to Fair Play. A communication, signed "Fair Play", in the South, of Augusta, Ga., headed, "Why Persecute Professor Wright?" has attracted my attention and induces me to point out the mistakes of "Fair Play." The writer asks "is it a crime for a man who devotes his time to training the youths to accept at the hands of the parents of those youths, the honor of representing them in the convention which is to nominate the President of the United States?" The writer also says Prof. Wright has not neglected his duty as president of the State College, and that certain parties are seeking the aid of Democrats to muzzle Prof. Wright. The facts are that Prof. Wright is making a frantic effort to be elected a delegate to the National Convention himself on his own motion, and there has certainly been no demand for him to accept the place as delegate. Prof. Wright is begging for the office, and not only leaves his place as president of the State College to attend the political conventions being held to select delegates, but has had Prof. Suggs, Rev Travers, of the faculty, prancing over the state electioneering in his behalf. Can the affairs at the college be successfully looked after and the youth of our race properly instructed, when three of the most prominent instructors are attending political conventions, and incidently engendering strife in the Republican party, and demoralizing the boys and young men of the state, who can but have their attention called to politics by the acts of their president and the questionable methods pursued to obtain prominence. The best minds of our people have already observed the tendency of our young men to enter politics and neglect opportunities for learning trades and entering business. Prof. Wright holds an office and is paid by the State of Georgia. He is the only president of a college in the state that goes actively into politics and causes trouble in conventions. The white presidents are not permitted to enter politics and discuss the matter before their classes. The fact as it appears to many people in Georgia is, that president Wright is but an agency of the Democratic party to disturb Republican conventions and keep up a division in the Republican ranks. The Negro has too much politics now, and it would be infinitely better for the race if educators would devote their time to teaching the young men business habits and methods, which is the only sure road to success in life. President Wright could be respected and honored as Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee but he prefers to be the politician, pure and simple. GEORGIA. Uncomfortable Homes. Not very long ago a physician in Brunswick published a pamphlet stating that the Negro race in this country was dying out very fast, and attributed the cause to the lack of cleanliness and the violation of the laws of hygiene. This was not the first time such a statement had been made. Physicians of both races, every now and then, write lengthy treatises on the mortality of colored people without pointing out the crucial cause. In our judgment nothing is enfeebling the health of our people so much as the miserable house-hovels and localities in which the masses are obliged to live. Many of the shacks in which they live are a disgrace to civilization. They usually contain three or four rooms and no hall-way, one or two fireplaces, and oft-times no wafer, and if ceiled at all the plastering is a mere shell. The front room is often bed room and sitting room; whether the family is sick or well it is the main passageway. To be sick in such a room in the biting weather that visits us now and then without heating facilities is indeed deplorable. The greed for riches is so great on the part of many property owners that they build and rent any kind of a trap to our people, as a rule. Landlords may say that they can't afford to build better houses for fear of having them pulled to pieces or else of not being able to rent them at higher prices. We are not advocating the building of palatial residences but we insist that the houses in which they are suffered to live ought to be well built, neat and comfortable—they ought to contain such facilities as are conducive to health, happiness and comfort. There is neither sense nor justice in calling a man dirty or commenting upon his untimely death when it is in your power to keep him clean and preserve his life but won't. The Peabody and Slater Funds have worked wonders in the education of our people; what greater boon could there be now than a fund which would provide decent homes which they could rent at reasonable rates? Few of the more favored and fortunate classes know how the other half lives. Their apathy is almost brutal. The promising daughter of Sr Robert Peel died from a maligna- fever the germs of which were hidden in her riding habit made for a celebrated establishment by a poor seamstress who lived in a miserable hovel. Another matter which often increases the mortality of both races is the unsanitary condition of the localities in which they live. Fifth and dirt accumulate to an alarming degree, and little or no effort is made to rid the neighborhood of it, until the city is threatened with an epidemic of some loathsome disease; the blame is laid at their door. If building commissions would insist that the houses of the poor, white and black, should be well built and comfortable, if boards of health and street cleaning departments would see that the poor man's streets and lanes are swept as regular as those of the rich they would set up an insurmountable barrier to malignant and foul disease, and the mortality of all sorts and conditions of men would be decreased. Land lords! give us more comfortable homes. Rambler and Gabe. The Rambler and Gabe are not in town this week. The city is compelling every one to be vaccinated, so the old man left these few minor notes, 'got on Gabe, his mule, and left, saying he had been vaccinated some years ago and "he'd be dinged if he would have it again unless the authorities caught him before he got to Macon." We haven't heard from him since he left and hope one will catch and return them. HAMBLEN'S MINOR NOTES. Standing on the corner one evening I saw two men, both of them fair of complexion and walking with slow, measured steps, denoting importance. Fact is they are men of importance in republican councils, and have demonstrated it hundreds of times. One of them is one of the most magnetic speakers in the state and has held audiences of color and white spell bound for hours at a time. I refer to Capt. L M. Pleasant. He has proven himself true to his friends always and a veritable buzz saw to his enemies. He is a man to admire because he is always equal to any task imposed and never betrays a trust. The other gentleman I saw with him was Jim Whiteman, and he, too, if your friend, can be relied upon to do the square thing. He is a power too, in the upper councils of the party. Of course there are others, and they will find themselves mentioned in this column if they keep a stiff upper lip and pay their subscription. One of the most ardent admirers of Negro newspapers me and Gabe have ever met is Mr. J. II Bryant who works at 450 Bull street. We have known him for a long time and have never known him to refuse to take a Negro newspaper yet and he pays for them too. Oh, that the world would multiply the Bryants. The Rambler votes one of the Philippine Islands to Editor W. Calvin Chase of the Washington Bee for his recent discovery of a solution for the Negro problem. He says scatter, leave the south, stop huddling like sheep, and the problem is solved. We have been preaching this doctrine for ten years, but we find this to be the trouble in this expansion business: Those Negroes who would go somewhere have not the means to carry them, while those that have the wherewithal do not want to go. And yet the Bee is right. Scatter should be the watchword. RAMBLER AND GABE. MASONIC COLUMN. MASONIC COLUMN. Grand Master W. E. Terry of Columbus, and Mr. Chas. A. Clark of Brunswick were in the city Monday, in attendance at the funeral of Mrs. Harris. They returned to Brunswick the same evening.

Mr. Craft was a man of sterling qualities and his early life was full of thrilling incident, much of which is given in Wm. Still's great book "The Underground Railroad." He had traveled extensively and located his home about 20 miles from Savannah, on the S. F. and W. R. B. This home with its contents, including library and many sacred memesoes was burned several years ago. He was an unassuming genial gentleman, and reared a family that has proven a credit to the race.

Baker, Bullock street, was made happy on Monday by the arrival of a sweet little girl. The sympathy of every Mason in the state goes out to Past Grand Master, Alex. Harris, in the death of his beloved wife. Despite his pains, Rev. Alex. Harris overcame them all and attended the funeral of his wife. He has been confined to bed ever since, but is slightly improving. The Forest City Glee Club made quite a hit on Monday night. It is said that the exercises were up to date, and that about three hundred persons were present. The subject of the morning sermon at St. Stephen's church to-morrow will be "The Teacher Prepared." "The Moral Effects of the Bible" will be the Sunday night sermon. Mr. Ed.

Mr. Hardee is one of our staunch supporters. Mr H. W. Porter was also along. Col. W. A. Pledger spent a few days in the city this week. The Col. celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday. He has not denied nor affirmed the 37th part of it, but we suppose that he failed to celebrate it some years ago, and therefore made up for lost time yesterday. At the service on Sunday night at First A. B. church, West Broad and Bolton streets, Rev. M. J. Maddox, pastor, the following gentlemen will be ordained as deacons: Messrs A. N. Williams, S. B. Cooper, B. Cashian, Isaac Righton. The public is invited to be present. The Sunday school exercises at the church last Sunday were very grand indeed. Rev. I. Garland Penn, Assistant Secretary of the Epworth League of the Methodist Episcopal church will be in the city Sunday and Monday, Feb. 18th and 19th. He comes in the interest yf the League work and will address the Savannah chapter at Ashbury M. E. church on Monday. Rev. Penn is very highly respected in all sections of the country and every one-should avail himself of the opportunity to hear him. There will be no admission fee but a collection will be taken during the evening. All are invited to attend Notes From A. U. Those acquainted with this institution know that it is always a place for work. This is proving to be as true as ever this year, and teachers and students find enough in the busy round of school life. Just now there is unusual activity in connection with the investigation which Prof. W. E. B. DuBois is conducting, under the direction of the U. S. Government, into the condition of the Negroes of Georgia. Quite a large number of men and women are assisting him, largely graduates of this institution. This work is being done for the Negro exhibit at the coming Paris Exposition. The class work of Prof. DuBois, which he is obliged temporarily to relinquish on account of this work for the Exposition, is being done by Mr. M. M. Post, a graduate of Hamilton College in New York, and a nephew of Rev. Martin Post, the college preacher. All graduates and former students are saddened to know of the serious illness of Mrs. Thomas N. Chase, at the home of her daughter in Bellows Falls, Vermont. This illness has made it necessary for Prof. Chase to be temporarily absent from this work, with which he has been connected as teacher or trustee, or both, for over thirty years. The recovery of Mrs. Chase is not expected. The announcement of the death of Mrs. Frances Harris, the beloved wife of Rev. Alexander Harris, sent sadness to the hearts of all who knew her, and especially to those who were near and dear to her. Her blessed spirit was wafted to the holy abode early on last Sabbath morn at 1:15 o'clock. Her demise was expected, yet it brought sadness, which should not have been, because she was only transcended to the abode of the angelic host. Mrs. Harris has been ailing for a number of years. Through it all she complained not. With the fortitude and complacency of a true christian she bore all of her troubles. Her power of will was wonderful, and her activity for one of her years and weakness elicited the wonder of those who knew of it. Hers was the most beautiful life known in recent times. Docile and lovable, with always a smile and a pleasant word; no harsh nor unkind word ever escaped her lips. Her life was one of inspiration, one from which the young can profitably copy. Her lovable nature and sunny disposition drew all who knew her, to her with that love that is not easily wasted. Her home life was beautiful beyond description. It was always a source of pleasure for her friends to visit her. They always left with a feeling of inspiration. Mrs. Harris lived always in this city. Had she lived until the 16th of March, she would have been eighty-two years of age. 'She knew and was known by all of the old families of the city of both races. 'Her three children preceeded her to that Realm above. She was devoted to them with that love that a nature of hers is only capable of. She had always fond thoughts for them. To her husband she was devoted. She could never do too much for his comfort and pleasure and was ever on the alert to do that which would please him the most. In this their feeling was reciprocal. Even in her extreme weakness she had a determined feeling to do. This couple has enjoyed fifty-six years of blissful connubial life, and was the oldest couple among us. Very proudly do we refer to the testimonial tendered them about six years ago by the citizens upon the event of their Golden Wedding. Other than her husband her only surviving relative is Miss Valeria Fuller, her sister. They have always lived together and their regards for each other has always been of the tenderest kind. Miss Alice B. Miller, who has lived with the family for nearly twenty-five years, is considered one of them and the tender feeling of a dutiful daughter caused her to do much for the deceased. Hers was a service of tenderness and love. The funeral services took place on Monday afternoon from the First Bryan Baptist church, West Broad street, of which her husband is pastor. The services were conducted by Rev. L. B. Maxwell, who was assisted by Revs. J. J. Durham, D. D., W. L. P. Weston and J. W. Whittaker. It was, by the request of the deceased, very simple, yet it was solemn and impressive. Some of her favorite hymns were sung. Her remains were followed to its last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The preparation for her interment was ample and of an unusually excellent kind. The floral offerings were of a rare kind tendered by kind friends; some being from her white friends. The pall-bearers were the deacons of the church and Mr. W. E Terry of Columbus and Mr. Chas. A. Clark of Brunswick. It is needless to say that the loved ones she left behind have the deepest sympathy of all their friends in this their hour of bereavement. Rest from all sorrows, and watching and fears, Rest from all possible sighting and tears, Rest through God's endless, wonderful years, At home with the blest." Locals. Hon. J. B. Bascombe of Robertsville, S.C., was in the city this week. As usual he came to see us. He is one of the most prominent citizens in his section, well thought of and highly respected by all who know him. He has a large and influential family. Next Wednesday at his home there will be a family re-union, and we predict it will be an interesting one. The Sunday school mass meeting held at the Second Baptist church on Wednesday night under the direction of Rev. L. B. Maxwell, was worthy of note and the sincere attention of our people. The addresses made were all pointed and along the lines that showed the condition of our people and also the remedies for such condition. At the conclusion of the speeches a set of resolutions were read indorsing Rev. Maxwell in his work, and advising that steps be taken to do something along the line of reform. Ministers Meeting. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met at the usual hour on Monday morning. In the absence of Rev. A. Ellis, D. D., the president. Rev. J. W. Whittaker was elected to the chair and presided with credit to the brethren. Dr. Durham, who was to have conducted devotional exercises being late in coming, the chair appointed Rev. J. W. Roberts to that duty. He read Ps. 2d, and offered prayer. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Sermonic reports were as follows: Rev. Roberts preached from Isa. 9:6, subject, The Unique Personality of Christ. Dr. Love, from Matt. 25:35 subject, Entertaining Strangers. Dr. Manning, from Job 19:25, subject, An Appeal from Man to God. Rev. Wiggins read an interesting paper on "What Can be Done to Suppress the Loan and Installment Business among the Negroes." The paper was discussed by Drs. Love, Durham, Manning and Revs. Epton, Dinkins, Maddox and Whittaker, and was finally adopted. Rev. H. T. Johnson, D. D. of Philadelphia, was present and made an interesting address, Presiding Elder Dinkins also was present and made some timely remarks. Rev. Maddox read some resolutions expressive of the sympathy and the condolence of the Union for ex-President, Rev. Alex. Harris, in the loss of his wife and his consequent bereavement. The same was unanimously adopted. The meeting then adjourned, benediction by Rev. L. B. Maxwell. Juvenile Society H. H. of R. Household of Ruth No. 438. G. U. O. of O. F., Mrs. Rachel E. Wright, M. N. G., at its regular meeting on Wednesday night duly confirmed the organization of the above society which took place at the Harris street hall on the 12th inst., with the following regular elected officers: Master W. Allen Houston. Pres.: Miss Carrie R. M. Wells, Vice-pres.; Master Daniel Houston, Treasurer; Miss Jeanie B. Boozar, Sce'y; Miss Oneida L. Haynes, Sick Visitor. Supervisors, Inmates Wm. R. Fields, Mrs. Faunie Starr and Mrs. Ophelia McIntosh. The charter members number about one hundred, ages raging from 3 to 16 years. This branch of the Order is meeting with widespread favor and is destined to become a very important auxiliary of the G. U. O. of O F. Any child in good health between the ages of 3 and 16 years may join, and membership in this society is beneficiary and an initiatory step to becoming an inmate of the Household or a full-fledged odd-fellow. Lincoln Memorial Service. The Sunday school of the Savannah Second Congregational church observed Lincoln's Memorial Sunday, and the program prepared by the American Missionary Association of New York proved very interesting. The instructors in this school are Misses Fairbanks and Hodjetts of Beach Institute, and Mr. J. C. Hamilton. They are doing a good work for Christ and deserve the encouragement of every one who is interested in the upbuilding of the colored people and the growth of the kingdom of God. Sunday school is held every Sunday at 11:30 a.m., and preaching by the pastor, Rev. J. H. H. Sengstacke, D. D. A Terrible Warning. There was a man who was too stingy to subscribe for his home paper, so he sent his little son to a neighbor to borrow one. As the boy was going home he fell down and broke his leg. The father heard his cries and ran out to see what was the matter, but slipped and fell, dislocating his knee and tearing the bosom out of his ten dollar pantaloons. His wife ran to his assistance, leaving a 3 year old baby on the floor. The baby crawled out and fell down the well and while the mother was fishing the child out the house caught fire and was totally destroyed. Moral—Now is the time to subscribe.—Cambridge (Ohio) Sun.

This is like indigestion, which creeps on one unaware. However it comes, the only way to cure it is by the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a remedy which never fails to cure dyspepsia in all its forms, as well as prevents malaria, fever and ague.

Torpedo Boats by Rail Probably the queerest thing so far established in the case of the French submarine boat, Goubet, is her transportation by rail from the docks of Paris-Saint-Ouen to the arsenal of Toulon. The Echo de Paris dwells at some length upon the advantages of carrying a flotilla of small torpedo boats by the same method. In one day they could be sent from the Mediterranean to the British Channel, or from the channel to the Mediterranean. In case of war between France and England, it says, the boats moving on land would have an advantage over the British ships, obliged to effect their concentration via Gibraltar. The Goubet was carried upon an ordinary fifteen ton car, but with the creation of special means of transportation boats very much larger than the Goubet might be carried by rail. "One hundred submarine boats no larger than the Goubet could keep Pas-de-Calais free from any attack by an English fleet. And one hundred Goubets would not cost fifteen million francs."

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN FLORIDA Ax Was Deadly Instrument Used-No Clew to Perpetrators of Dastardly Deed Has Been Discovered. One of the most horrible crimes ever perpetrated in Florida was discovered Tuesday afternoon about seven miles west of Jacksonville, when the bodies of Mrs. Rosanna Roberts, a widow, aged seventy-six; her son, G. T. Roberts, a bachelor, aged fifty-three, and Miss Jennie Roberts, a daughter, also unmarried, aged fifty-one years, were found murdered at their home. The body of the old lady was discovered in her bed, her head split open with an ax. The body of the son was found half out of the bed, as if he had attempted to rise, and a shotgun broken half in two by the side of the bed, showed that he had attempted to defend himself. The body of the daughter was found under the house, where she had run from her assailants in the house. Evidences showed that she had been followed and struck two heavy blows with the ax, which killed her. The three composed the entire family, which has been wiped out of existence, and were well-to-do and highly respected people. The nearest house was one mile and a quarter from their home. The bodies were discovered by a neighbor who stopped to get a drink of water, and seeing no life about, made an investigation with the result of discovering the horrible crime. Trunks and drawers were ransacked, but what was taken has not been discovered, as money and other valuables were found where the robbers and murderers had worked. There is no trace to the perpetrators of the crime. BRYAN AT RALEIGH. Two Addresses Delivered to Large Crowds In Tarheel Capital. Bryan arrived in Raleigh, N. C., at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon over the Seaboard Air-Line from Richmond. He was met by a crowd of 10,000 people, headed by the local military organizations and cadets and was immediately driven to a large tent erected for the speaking. He was introduced by State Chairman Simmons and spoke for and hour and a half mostly on familiar lines. He devoted rather more time than usual to a discussion of taxation, declaring that an income tax would be a leading feature in the campaign this fall. He discussed trusts, free silver and imperialism at some length on the usual lines. At night Mr. Bryan spoke in the Academy of Music. Hundreds were turned away, being unable to gain admittance to the building. He devoted much more of his time to imperialism than in his afternoon speech. Wednesday at noon Mr. Bryan lectured at the state university on "Pending Problems." MAY RETURN TO FRANKFORT. Democrats Consider Resolution To Meet At State Capital. A Louisville dispatch says: The first sign of a break in the Democratic lines was noticed Tuesday. It came in the shape of a resolution offered by Senator Triplett providing that upon adjournment Thursday the legislature name Frankfort as its next meeting place. While no action upon the resolution was taken during the session, it was believed to foreshadow a return of the Democratic legislators to the state capitol soon. UNFAYORABLE TO EWART. Sub-Committee On Judiciary Decides Against North Corollina Man. A Washington dispatch says: The sub-committee on judiciary which has been considering the nomination of Judge Ewart, of North Carolina, to be United States district judge in that state, has made a report to the full committee adverse to Judge Ewart. "GO AHEAD," SAID TAYLOR. Rump Legislature Informs Him That It Is Ready For Business Monday was another day of unbroken calm in Frankfort. The Republican members of the legislature met at noon and appointed committees to inform Governor Taylor that the legislature had adjourned at London and was convened at Frankfort to transact such business as might come before them. The governor acknowledged the message by saying "go ahead." Both houses then adjourned until Tuesday. There were nine members in the senate and twenty-eight in the house. THANKS TO OUTSIDERS. Thirty-two Republican Members on Hand at Frankfort Meeting. The lower house of the Republican legislature in session at Frankfort, Tuesday, adopted a resolution returning its thanks to the Ohio League of Republican Clubs for sympathy and encouragement extended to Governor Taylor in the present crisis. Thirty-two members were present, less than a quorum, and no other business was done. The little one's mother had said, "Now doctor, if there is any rise of temperature"—she was great on temperature, by the way—"I will send for you at once. As you know, I have a clinical thermometer, and can take the temperature myself without troubling you to come in for the purpose." Just as I was going to bed I was starled by a violent ring at the bell, and, hastening to the door, saw a terrified domestic, who gasped, "Oh, Sir, please, Sir, do come round at once! Miss Marjory is worse. Missus said I was to tell you her temperature is 108, and is risin' fast." Scarcely waiting to put on my hat, I rushed round to the house of my little patient, and discovered the whole family assembled in the sick room awaiting the end of poor little Marryton, the mother wringing her hands in agony and crying dreadfully. "What's the temperature now?" I almost shouted in my agitation. "Oh!" sobbed the mother, "I haven't dared to look since. My poor darling! It was 108, and they say that 105 is always fatal," and she broke down completely. Without wasting any more time, I turned down the blanket, and—found that the thermometer had been thrust between the child's side and arm, and the bulb embedded in a freshly applied hot poulice!—Chamber's Journal. Full of Honors. "Still," said the old friend who had called to converse with the venerable sage, "in your advancing age it must be a great comfort to know your fame is secure."

I read what a wonderful remedy Ayer's Cherry Pectoral was for coughs and I bought a bottle. Before I had taken a quarter of it my cough had entirely left me."—L.Hawn, Newington, Ont., May 3, 1899. Quickly Cures Colds Neglected colds always lead to something serious. They run into chronic bronchitis which pulls down your general health and deprives you of sleep; or they end in genuine consumption with all its uncertain results. Don't wait, but take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral just as soon as you begin to cough. A few doses will cure you then. But it cures old colds, too, only it takes a little more time. We refer to such diseases as bronchitis, asthma, whooping-cough, consumption, and hard winter coughs. If you've just taken cold a 25 cent bottle is all you need. For harder cases a 60 cent bottle is better. For chronic troubles, and to keep on hand, the $1.00 bottle is most economical. A Natural Question. At one of the churches last Sunday there was a song service, and one mamma took her little five-year-old daughter to it. One of the selections was "I Love to Steal Awhle Away." It was drawled out in the good old-fashioned way to the end, and the little miss after the first line seemed to be lost in study. In the midst of the prayer that followed she climbed up on the seat beside her mother and in a stage whisper asked: "Mamma, what are 'whilleaways,' and what do good people want to steal them for?"—Washington Star.
