NEW YORK.

New YORK, June 14.-The Longs
shoremen who resumed work on
the Anchor, Fireman, National and
Green lines a few days ago at re-
duced rates struck again yesterday,
alleging that the Companies refuse
to pay them the extra prices agreed
upon for night work. They also
demand that the men engaged to
fill their places during the strike be
discharged, as they are unqualified
and make the work harder for 9TH
ers. Steamship agents deny that
they gave the strikers to understand
that they were to receive extra pay
for night work. They assert, also,
that the new men will not be dis
charged, as the agents are under OBJ
legations to them. 1t is believed
there will be no delay in the depar-
ture of steamers, and that there
will be only little annoyance to, the
companies by reason of this new
strike,

THE plague is one of the oldest
things under the sun. According to
Petavius it ravaged the whole known
world in 76T B. c. In 534 B. G. it
made terrible havoc in Carthage, and
the people, dcplOring the anger of the
gods, offered up ther children as sacri-
fees. Thucydides has left graphic
description Of the plague which ragged
in Athens 430 B. c., and which ex-
tended over Egypt and Ethiopia. In
the eighteenth year of the Christian
era, Rome was depopulated at the rate
Of 10000 daily. Three centuries and a
half later the plague appeared in
Britain, where the living were not
able to bury the dead. There is little
reason to doubt the statement that 200
persons perished daily in London dur
ing an epidemic which ragged in 1348,
and which prevailed throughout
Europe, In 1887 more persons per-
ished in England of pcstilence than
had died in fifteen years of continued
war. At various periods of its history
London has suffered terribly from
plague. More than 10000 persons per-
ished in 1904, and more than 80 900
in 1925. But it was not until 1865
that the city learned whot scourge
the plague might become. A moder-
ate estimate says that 65,5O6 persons
perished, while other authorities state
the number at 100000. Since that
period England has been tolerably
free from the plague, but it has carried
off $4,000 persons in Persia, 500, 900 in
Egypt, and 10000 at Marseilles at one
visitation.

THE B0NDHOLDERs.
An Interview with Mr.. Eugene Kelley, of
New YOrk---hc Other Proposition
but that for a Sixty Cent
Compromise to be
Submitted.

Nashville American, 1Sth.l
Mr.. Eugene Kelley, of New York,
representing the holders of Tennessee
bonds, arrived here yesterday from
Atlanta, whittier he went with an ex-
cursion party interested in Southern
railroads. In an interview with him
last night, touching the State debt. he
said to an American reporter he un-
derstood a great many low tax men
to say that the bonds were illegal and
that the State was not legally liable
for their payment. He asserted that,
from the opinion entertained in New
York, the bondholders would bo per-
fectly willing to test the question in
the courts with the right of appeal,
and if the bonds should be declared
by court of final adjudication to be
illegal, they would cheerfulIy abide
the decision and make no further
claim for the payment Of the bonds.
The bondholders had said that il
the State is not able to pay its debt
they are willing to refer the question
to arbitration. They are willing to
leave "a settlement to such men as
Governor Hampton, of South Caro-
lima, and Senator Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, on the part of Tennessee, and
Charles Francis Adams, on the part Of
the bondholders, the amount Of pay
ment to be decided upon proof OF
Tennessee's taxable property and re-
sources and ability to pay. 1t was be-
lieved by the bOndholders that Ten
nessee was even better able to settle
her debt than Virginia and Georgia.
Virginia paid of | per cent. taxes
Georgia 7-1O of per cent, while
Tennessee paid only lilo of per
cent. The amount of taxes on the &C
cents compromise would not be
onerous to the people of Tennessee,
and they were able to pay a tax even
greater than that which would be re-
quired for the go cents proposition,
General Pryor and Mr.. S. G.. Thomp.
son had submitted the only propo-
sition to bcmade hy the bondholders
The bondholders had given them nc
discretion in the matter, and General
Pryor and Mr.. Thompson had re.
turned home. He would remain
until this evening, when he would
leave for Atlanta to rejoin the ex.
cursion party. No further propo.
sitions would be made by the bond,
holders.

Nerve Inquietude and its Remed


Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stantly so, are weak ones as we'll. The true
way to tranquiliEc them thoroughly is to
strengthen thOm. 1t may be, nay, it very
often is necessary to have recourse to a seda-
tive or even an opiate, in dangerous cases of
nervous inquietude, but the continued use of
such unnatural palliatives is greatly to be
deprecated. Though not, in a restricted
sense, a specific for nervousness, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is eminently calculated to
allay and eventually overcome it, fact
which the recorded experience Of many goes
to substantiate. This inestimable tpnic, by
promoting digestion, assimilation and secre-
tion, touches the three key potes upon which
the harmony of all the bodily organs depends,
and the result is that fresh stores Of vitality
are diffused through the system, Of which the
nerves receive their due apportionment, and
grow tranquil as they gather strength.

BRUCE OF MISSISSIPPI.
A coIOred Senator in the Vice Presl
dents Chair.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton says:
{" In the senate to-day, during the
debate on the anti-C Chinese bill, Sena-
tor Bruce, the colored senator from
Mississippi, occupied the Vice Fresi-
dents chair, it being the first time
that colored member of this body
has been called upon to preside over
the deliberations of the senate. While
in the chair Senator Thurman made a
vigorous speech in support of the bill,
and the vehemence with which he ut
tered his sentiments was commented
on by number of senators, who qui-
etly discussed the progress Of Ameri-
can civilization in the cloak-roOms ad-
joining the senate chamber. 1t was
remarked that it was an extra
ordinary chapter in American
history that colored senator
should preside over the senate while
one of the leading Democratic mem
bers of that body should oppose the
immigration of MongOlians to our
shores. During the Forty-third con-
gress Speaker Blaine called Congress
man Rainey, of South Carolina, to the
chair, and he was the first colored re-
preventative who occupied the speak
er's chair While he was presiding,
Congressman Parker, of Missouri
now United States district judge Of
Arkansas, addressed the house on the
necessity of making the American
Indians citizens of this country, which
suggested to the London Times the
Importance of congress preserving this
event in a historical painting, as best
illustrating the progress of American
civilization since the rebellion.
