The Adams Express Company TO DO the
Work In the Future.
WAsHINGroN, Sept. 9.-John Hoey,
Vice Presiden of the Adams Express
Company, had conference with Secre-
tary Manning and Treasurer Jordan al
the Treasury Department to-day in regard
to the transportation of gold and silver
coin, which resulted in an agreement that
hereafter all such shipments shall be made
by the express company in accordance
with the contract entered into by Secretary
Sherman. This will not, however, interfere
with the shipment of S50,O00,0 900 in silver
from New Orleans to Washington
on the United States steamers Swatara
and Y ntic, as the coin has already been
placed on those vessels. and they will set
sail in q few DAYS. The remainder of the
coin at New Orleans which is to be trans
feTred to Washington, amounting to about
$15, 000. 600. will be sent by express, and
the same mode OF transportation will be
adopted in the transfer OF gold coin from
San Francisco and silver from Carson
City and elsewhere. The conference was
held at the request of Secretary Manning
with view, il is understood, to the trans
fer of large amount of gold and silver
coin from distant points, where 1T is lying
idle, to commercial centres, where 1T is
more likely to be needed.

ATLANTA. GA, Sept. 9.-Ex-COngress'
man James c. Freeman, who died a few
days ago, left snug fortune, as TO the
exact size of which there is a difference
OF opinion among those who will be the
benefciaries. The will makes a son-in-
law, James Iverson, and David Freeman
executors of the estate. This does not
satisfy the second and third sons, Edward
Freeman and James Freeman, and
they have made application for a
receiver. They claim that Mr.. lverson Is
not financially responsible TO act. blr.
Iverson married the only daughter, Miss
Fannie Freeman, a few years ago. He
SAYS that the estate is not worth more
than S35, 900, while Edward Freeman says
that he will give $4,000 for the estate. 1t
ls held by the Freeman side
that Mr.. Iyerson since marrying
into the family has had more
prominence In the affairs connected with
the management Of the estate than he is
entitled to. The Indications are that a
bitter family fight will grow out Of the
affair, as both sides express determina-
ton TO fight IL out to the end.

Sixty Per Cent. the Cut Made by the
East Tennessee System.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 9.-The
bitterest rate war that has ever occurred
between Southern railroads is now in pro-
gress. The war was begun two weeks
ago by the Western and Atlantic road,
which made cut Of 50 per cent. in East
ern rates out of Chattanooga. This cut
was made on account Of a arivalry existing
between that line and the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia road.
The cut was not met, and thereupon the
Western and Atlantic officials announced
that the low rates would be permanent.
At onee the East Tennessee road made a
cut of 60 per cent. on Eastern business
out Of Atlanta, and the Richmond and
Danville road was brought into the fight.
10 is now said that the officials OF the
Western and Atlantic railroad will open
a ticket Office in Knoxville and begin an
indiscrlminate cut TO all Southern points.
The Louisville and Nashville road is be-
ing drawn into the fight and threatens TO
make the rate from Chattanooga TO Mem
phis 81, instead Of 50 as now. All the
Southern lines are becoming involved

NOT STATE PROPERTY.

Mr.. Harrell, of Webster, opposed the
bill, contending that the university was
not the property of the State, and that it
had no right to appeal 10 the General AS
sembly for appropriations. He reviewed
the origin and history OF the University
with the donations to it. He contended
that it could not be granted as right, but
might be as favor.
Mr.. AdderrOn offered an amendment
striking out $4,000 and inserting $500.
Mr.. Hall moved that the committee rise
and report it back with a recommends
tion that it do not pass.
MIR. McLendon opposed the motion in an
earnest and impassioned effort, which
elected applause, and was cOmplimented
on both sides.
MIR. Hawkes. moved as q substitute that
the committee rise, report progress and
ask leave to sit again, which motion pre-
vailed.
THE CAPITOL TAX.

the consideration of the bill introduced
by Mr.. Harris, of Bibb, to levy a special

ing the expense of building the capitol

statement Of the financial condition of the
State, showing that unless the tax was
levied work would have to be suspended

the State was at stake, and that nothing
should be done to impair progress in the
construction Of the building.
Mr.. Bartlett opposed the bill. He said
that the act authorizing the construction
Of the capitol distinctly stated that 1t was
to be built out of the surplus in the treas
ury.
THIS PROVISION SAVED THE BILL.
Without this provision the bill would
never have passed. AS il was the meas
ure went through with only four votes to
spare. He was opposed to levying a
special tax for the purpose indicated.
Mr.. Abbott, Of Fulton, made strong
appeal for the bill on the ground that the
honor of the State was at stake, and that
it would be acting in bad faith to the con-
tractors to stop work.
MIR. Tate wanted to know IL the present
Legislature at the last session had not
acted in bad faith to the previous Legisla-
ture by making a direct appropriation
when the act said that the money should
come out Of the surplus.
Mr. Abbott answered that he did not
think so, as the Legislature that passed
the act believed that there would be a
surplus to draw upon.
Mr.. Arnheim was speaking in favor of
the, bill when the hour Of adjournment
arrived.
Mr.. Brandt at the afternoon session in
trOduced bill, the object Of which is to

seventeenth annual convention Of the
Irish Catholic National Benevolent
Union attended mass In st. James

committees were appointed and recess
taken. 1t is proposed TO appoint COM
mittes to confer with the German Catholic
Benevolent Association, now in session
in the Eastern district, with a view TO
effecting a union Of the two benevolent
organizations.
Mr.. KELLEY PRESENT.
In the afternoon A. NJ. Kelley was
present and made brief address. He
was received heartily and his remarks
were freely punctuated with applause.
He said that the papers of two continents
had much to say about him, but the real
cause of his rejection was because his
republican principles were too high TO
be acceptable TO foreign nations.
After Mr.. Keiley's departure the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAs The public press Of Austria and
OF the United StGtes, with singular unarimitg.
announced the causes OF The rejection By the
former state of Bon. A NJ. Kelley. our former
President, as United States Minister as being
based in part upon the religious creed OF bis
wife and partly upon the onense be gave the
King of Italy by his denuDciatiOn OF the apolia-
tion Of the Holy See by Victor Emanuel, this
union, in convention assembled. desireA To
enter its protest against the insult 90 Ameri-
can principles of the liberty involved In each
and both OF the alleged causes.
NOT PARTY QUESTION.
While this convention proposes and is de-
termined TO avoid all connection with party
politics, 10 regards this action Of Austria as
touching matters far above party, ana an In
fringement OF the common rights Of Ameri-
can citizens and the Independence OF the
American government. THIS adront, which
Ia "a matter Of concern 10 all citizens, Is es-
pecially resented by this union, which for
twelve consecutive years, and up TO his de-
pdrture Tor his post, conferred upon Mr..
Kelley It's highest Office, ana which
extends to him is unabsted confidence. To-
day this convention, for itself and for the
great body OF Catholic people Of the Union,
Hssures the administration that in the main
tenance OF the dignity and honor Of the
United states In all appropriate forms 10 will
have their constant and patriotic support, in
dependent OF party; nor do we doubt that our
fellow citizens Of all creeds will, with libeF-
alty and justice characteristic Of American
citizens. equally resent the bigOtry 20 which
the rejection Of Mr. Kelley is ascribed.
