Representative Williams cf Mississippi to- day addressed the House committee on tanking and currency in support of his bill amending the national banking acts and re- Dealing tax on state bank issues. In open- ‘ing he said that the measure contained no new ideas, but was « compilation of laws, state and national, which had stood the test of time. Under it the government was not to guarantee the payment of circulating notes issued by any bank, banking associa- tion or private banker. it removes the limit of notes which banking associations can issue, except that they shall not exceed one hundred per centum of the par value of bonds and coin deposited to ‘secure them. State and national banks are placed upon the same footing, except that state banks are to be examined and supervised by state Offleers. ‘The measure also contains pro. visions regarding the quality of bonds to be issued and the right of officers to borrow from banks, &c. ‘The sections Mr. Williams read and ex- plained. One section of the measure remov the present prohibition against loans bp? national banks on real estate security. ‘Mr. Williams said that this was greatly desired in the south and west. The committee adjourned to meet Thurs- day morning. ———+-o+_____ AN EXCITED CONVENTION. Nominations Made by the Independ- ents of Baltimore. The convention of the citizens’ party was held in the concert hall of Harris’ Academy of Music, Baltimore, last night. The following nominations were made: Mayor, Frederick W. Schultz. Sheriff, Otto Sutro, Clerk of city court, Wm. Duncan. Mr. Ross C. Holliday presided, with Messrs. C. C. Norris and Jas. D. Moulton as secretaries. On taking the chair Mr. Holliday said: “This organization is born for freedom. You are all men who are tired of boss rule and who want to throw off the shackles of | dictators and all who would prevent you from ruling yourselves. It is our duty to Set rid of bossism. We want men to lead us in this fight who possess opinions and who will not lie; men who can stand be- fore a demagogue and take his cajoling without winking. Shall we submit longer to the present condition of affairs? (Cries of ‘No, no.") Then let us proceed to busi- ness.” This speech was the keynote of the reso- lutions that were adopted. An exciting Scene occurred when nominations for mayor were called for. Mr. C. C. Norris of the seventh ward, one of the secretaries, took the floor to nominate John W. Hoffacker. He said: “I want to present for your considera- tion a man who deserves ali and more than has been said of Mr. Schultz—a man who will fulfill every obligation and who will make a noble standard bearer for this move- ment. Mr. Schultz might do as a candidate for the silk-stocking aristocracy, but what we want is a man from the masses, and you must go to the working class for a candidate to win. This convention has been packed with delegates who are opposed to the gentleman I will name. I know this and I can prove it,” shouted the speaker, getting red in the face and gesticulating wildly to make himself heard amid the up- roar of hisses and cries that went up from all sides. “I have been asked how I was going to vote,” raising his-voice to a high pitch. “I have been: approached on the street corners and so have other delegates here. It was almost impossible for me to get on the floor of this convention because I would not promise to vote as some people wanted me to vote.” At this point the noise prevented the speaker's voice being heard. He waited calmly until the noise subsided, and continued: “I come here with opinions and I am not afraid to express them, and I exact a patient hearing for what I have to say. Threats have been made against me if I took this stand. Ostracism and bodily harm have been threatened, but I am here to speak my sentiments.” Mr. C. J. Corday, also a delegate from the seventh ward, jumped up and cried out: “Mr. Chairman, this thing has gone far enough. I have proof that the gentleman id to come here and work for “I defy you to prove that charge,” thun- dered Mr. Norris, “and I say to your face that you lie,” and he shock his fist menac- ingly toward Mr. Corday. “I am as honest in my purpose here as you or any other delegate, but when I am stopped on the highways and byways to do something that my conscience does not approve I ain't afraid to say so. By this time everybody was on his feet and excitement ran high. It looked as if trouble would result, for the friends of Schultz and those of Hoffacker were shout- ing themselves hoarse for thelr favorites, while Mr. Norris and his opponent glared fiercely ‘at each other. Police Captain Schultz and a squad of patrolmen from the northwestern district stood ready to quell | the disturbance if blows were struck. The chairman pounded vigorously, but no heed was paid to him by the now excited crowd. All were shouting and yelling at the top of their lungs, and for several minutes other proceedings were suspended. ‘When order was finally restored Mr. Nor- ris continued his speech. “I will name a man whose reputation is above reproach, who Is liked by business men and working- men and who will carry this standard to vic- tory. I nominate John W. Hoffacker of the nineteenth ward.” (Applause.) ‘The roil was then called by wards. Mr. Schultz received 164 votes and Mr. Hoff- acker 25. _——__+ 0+ —____ sHOOKLAND.

F.. paid their first visitation to Brookland Lodge, No. last evening. Grand Master Wood, with the grand offi- cers, was present and presided over the ceremonies. The examination of the offi- cers of Brookland Lodge resulted creditably to the young organization. Mr. George B. Johnston was installed noble grand of No. 3, in place of Mr. Karl H. Baker, resigned. Mr. Harry Barton was installed vice grand to fill the chair vacated by Mr. Johnston. In behalf of Mr. Karl H. Baker, Mr. Ba ton, in a neat speech, presented to the lodge a handsome gilt frame surrounding the charter. A pleasant program was carried out. Representatives from Salem, Golden Rule, Federal City, and many other sister lodges were present, and nearly 10) guests were seated at the refreshment tables after the formal exercises were finished. IN THE HOTEL CORRIDO! A young man, quick of speech and ner- vous of movement, stepped to the register of the Metropolitan yesterday afternoon and inscribed thereon in bold and legible characters the name and address, “Clark Howell, Atlanta, Ga.” Apparently little more than twenty-five years of age, this young man is one of the most conspicuous and effective forces in southern journalism, being at the head of the editorial manage- ment of the Atlanta Constitution. Upon the death of Henry W. Grady, a few years ago, the editorial ‘conduct of ‘the Constitu- ton devolved largely upon the younger Mr. Howell, his father, Mr. Evan P. Howell, being president of the publishing company which owns the paper. That the young journalist, then but ‘little more than twenty years old, was fully capable of tak- ing up and carrying on successfully the work of the talented Grady is evidenced by. the fact that the prosperity of the Aumpta Paper increased rather than dimin! under his care. Mr. Howell has already enjoyed a political and public career that Sames to many men only after years of effort. Beveral years ago he was speaker of the lower house of the Georgia legisia- ture which re-elected Gen. Gordon to the United States Senate after a celebrated campaign, in which Mr. Howell led in Gor- don’s behalf. Last year, during the pre: dential campaign, he engaged, through the columns of the New York Herald, in a po- Utical controversy with Col. John’ A. Cock- erill of the New York Advertiser, the dis- eussion, back and forth, running through the Herald during all the closing weeks of the campaign, and attracting much atten- tion. Mr. Howell was much sought at the Metropolitan terday by the Georgia con- tngent, but was not much in evidence, hav- ing gone out shortly after his arrival.” “The populist movement is more of a factor in Texas politics than appears on the surface,” remarkd Mr. R. L. Summeriin, a | Prominent attorney of San Antonto, at the | National. “It has gained strength since the last election, and its Volume is being augmented every day. By the time of the next congressional election the populist party will cut a considerable figure in our state. This changing condition of affairs is attributable toa number of influences. The fight between the Hogg and Clark faction of the democracy is one of the strongest. The Hogg faction is really outside the party anyhow, having kicked out of the traces and got clear off the Chicago platform last year. They are now making overtures to get back into the fold, and a reconciliation may be effected before the next election, but unless that is accomplished a pretty opportunity for effective work by the popu- lists will -be presented. Whether the split | is sufficiently serious to endanger the solid- ity of the democratic delegation in Congress remains to be seen. I have heard rumors at home that some of our Texas Congressmen are themselves already entertaining popu- listle theories and principles, but about that I know nothing personally. “Matters genera'ly in Texas are not in good condition,” concluded Mir. Suminertin. “Business is stagnant and ihe outlook certain. Our people look and nop> for ne tion from the Senate—repeal er eompromise —anything so it is action und conseqnent relief from the existing uncertainty. Mr. M. T. Moloney of Ottawa, attorney Seneral of the state of Illinois, is stopping at Willard’s for a few days. Afr. sMoloney, who is a gentleman of splen i‘ physique, attractive face and personality snd most pieasing address, is a close frien] of Con. troller of the Currency Jickels, who comes from the same town as does Mr. Moloney. “Eckels and I have been strong triends for | years,” said Mr. Moloney last mght, “and our law offices at Ottawa are separated only by an alley. When we wished to com- municate we did not bring the televhone into requisition, but merely hoisted our windows and talked ut snort range. Mr. Cleveland has not made a better appoint- ment than he made in the selection of Eckeis. While it was a surprise to the friends of the latter at Ottawa, for the reason that we knew Mr, EckelS was an applicant for another pusition, it was none the less warmly commeaed by all Minois democrats. Eckels will prove a success werever he is tried.”” Speaking of politics 1a Ais state Mr. Mo- loney remarked: “Illinois ls now a more | certainly democratic state than New York. When she wheeied into the democratic evl umn last fall she went taere to stay. Our people understand perfectly well that the present unfortunate state of business and financial matters is the result of pernicious republican legislation. That Chicago is strongly democratic was again emphasized last spring. Of course there were side is- sues which helped *o swell Carter Hurri- son’s majority, but, after a:l, nis emphatic election could “be constracd oly as a de- cided democratic victory. “As to the selection of a successor ta Senator Cullom of our state,” continued XI. Moloney, “I can only say oerat. Col. Morrison, ble and Carter Harrison are taiked of, but it is too far ahead now to prognosticate un the probable choice. History is made so rapidly in these cays, and men are and unmade so speeilly and for so apparent cause, that it s to tell which way the ca employ a homely p! gard to the senai- ial contest I will say, however: Al) vossip that connecied Gov, Altgeld’s name with it is xroundless. I know for a certainty that the Kovernor has determined to serve out his term in the position to which the peuple elected him. I presume that, fuilowing the precedent established when Senator Palmer was r.om- inated by the democrats, the two parties will name their respective candida-es for the senatorship before the :egisia‘ure {s elected, and that those candi‘ates will make a joint canvass of the state. There is little doubt th: republicans W7'l again nominate Cul! Mr. Henry D. Capers cf Chariesten, S.C, @ gentleman of much literary distinc and culture, is stopping at the Metrcpdl- itan. Mr. Capers has written a number of works bearing on the history of the laze confederate governm among them being his “Life and Times of C. G. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury of ‘ne Confed- erate Governme compiling a comprehensive velumincus work dealing with the diplomatic history of the confederaey, and is in Washingzcn gathering matecial from the archives end government Mbraries. Speaking of the South Carolina liquor law this morning Mr. Capers said: “It fs duli- cult to say how sucevssfui it has been. It has its enemies an its It was the result of a compromise between the pro- hibitionists and the liquor :nen. ‘The en- tire liquor tracfic is now supposed to be under the control of the state, and the places where spirits are sold are called dis- | pensaries. The men in charge are a bonded and are called dispensers, When a man wants to purchase liquor he goes tu one of these dispensaries and files his appli- cation. This is somewhat like 21 upplica- tion for a post office money order. He must give his name, business and residence nd- dress and his age. The latter ts to prevent selling to minors. The dispenser has the power to accept or reject the application, and the taw provides that he must not a cept more than one application from the same person in one day. The restrictions are quite severe if they are all respected, and it would seem that they should do something to decrease the sale of liquor. The abuse of Gov. Tillman on account of his enforcement of the law comes in a large degree from his political enemies."” pee eee CONFIRMATION OFFICIAL That Rio is Safe From the Gun Admiral Mello. Official confirmation of the information ccntained in the dispatch sent by Capt. Picking several days ago that Admiral Mello, commanding the insurgent Brazilian fleet, had agreed not to bombard Rio Ja- neiro again, has been received at the State Department from Minister Thompson. From this dispatch there can no longer be any of doubt of the safety of Rio from the guns | of Mello's ships. Mello’s assurances of a suspension of the bombardment were the result of Peixoto's promise to silence his forts and of suggestions made by the for eign naval commanders in Rio harbor. ‘The | truce, however, applies only to the capital and will not Interfere with hostilities at any other Brazilian port. No diplomatic over- tures were made to Mello to secure the end attained by the naval commanders. as for- eign governments, and particularly that of the United States, are anxious..,o.idVold any overtures that may be construed Into a recognition of the insurgents ag bellig- erents.

When the delegates reached the hall they realized ‘forcibly that they were in the hands of friends and that the local com- mittee was an extremely generous host. The ha!l hat been handsomely decorated with foliage plants, and especially about the stage there was a fine display. Hot and tired after the parade, the cool hall gave the delegates a welcome reeepition, and their satisfaction was further increased when they found that in the adjoining room the local committee had induced Mr. Hebner to set out a lunch that just fitted the bill. There was that nice proportion between solids and liquids which the weather and the exertion made the visitors think was about right.

Number of Colliertes to Reopen in England Today. LONDON, Oct. 10.—Kight firms owning coal pits in the Bolton district and other owners in various places reopened their collieries today. Other pits will be reopened tomorrow. The miners in these pits all go back to work at the rate of wages paid be- fore the strike. The demand fer coal is very heavy. The pits now working find it impossible to fit their orders, even with double shifts of miners at worn. The owners of the Booley Hall colliery at Tamworth agreed to open the pit today | if the men would accept a reduction of 5 per cent in their wages. Nearly all the men who do not belong to the Miners’ Fed- eration signified their willingness to return to work on these terms and this morning the colliery was opened. As the men were on their way to work, they were surround- ed by members of the federation, whe by the use of threats and persuasion compell- ed the greater number of the non-union- ists to return to their homes. iene aes POLICEMEN STAMPED TO DEATH. Riot Near Hamburg Caused by En- forcement of Sanitary Regulations. HAMBURG, Oct. 10.—Another fatal riot occurred last night in St. Paull, a suburb of this city, growing out of the attempts of the sanitary officers to.enforce the regula- tions for the prevention of the spread of cholera. ‘Ewo policemen were knocked down by the mob and brutally stamped to death. The fight was waging desperately with the odds in favor of the mob, when a de- | tachment of troops, who had been hastily | dispatched to the scene, arrived. The soldiers charged and the mob scat- tered. A dozen rioters were arrested. AND SEE. TRY IT Ex-Attorncy General Garland Asks if Reer is Intoxicating.

Patterson, treasurer of | Gallatin county, Montana, from the Mon- tana supreme court. The propositions con. tained in this case involve ultimately the question of the taxability of all the un- tented surveyed lands within — the mits of the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Call- | fornia ‘and Oregon, Oregon and California, Atlantic and Pacific, Texas Pacific, and all | other land grants by Congress to aid in the construction of railroads. These lands now mount in the case of the Northern Pa- cliie alone to over 17,000.00 acres, an area rapidly increasing as the surveys are fur- ther extended. The area of lands in the same condition included in similar grants will more than double this. In the land case of Barden agt. the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,a decis- fon of which is expected shortly, the Su- preme Court today gave attorneys for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company leave to file a brief, although not a party of rec- ord. But it has 14,000,000, the attorney stated, which would be affected by the de- cision in the Barden case. ——— tmansters Appointed. ‘The total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed yesterday was sixty-six. | Of this number twenty were to fill vacan- cies caused by death and resignation and | forty-six by removals.
