THE LAwTON NOMINATION.
What Senator CoIquitt Says About It'll
Withdrawal from the Senate.

what senator Coiquitt Says About its
Withdrawal from the Senate.
Senators Brown and Colquitt arrived at
Atlanta from Washington on Saturday
night and Senator Colquitt was inter-
viewed on the subject of Gen. Lawton's
nomination by Consultation reporter.
The reporter asked the Senator what
would be done about it.
"The question is not yet determined"
was the reply. "The President may or
may not give him the appointment tenn
pOrarily. 1t is question of policy. as il
affects the administration and as il may
affect the interests and feelings of Gen.
LawtOn"
GLOW is the feeling over the matter?"
"There Is a division of sentiment as to
the force of the constitutional objection.
The best lawyers in the country will in
yestigate the matter, and if they decide
that there is no disability, Gen. Lawton
may receive a temporary appointment,
and his confirmation may be acted on in
December"
Did the Attorney General advise the
President that Gen. Lawton was ineli-
giblep
"NO. His name was withdrawn by the
President, / have no doubt, after con-
sultatiOn with the Secretary of State, be-
cause IL was feared that, under the Cir
cumstsnces, tho Senate might refuse to
confirm him. The report of the commit
tee was made on the last day, and there
was no time 10 deliberate. In the uncer-
tsinty as to the result, the name was
withdrawn. The withdrawal was by no
means an expression of an opinion by the
President or Secretary of State that Gen.
LawtOn was ineligible"
''DO you know the Presidents opinion ?'
"Mr. Cleveland's mind inclines to the
opinion that he is eligible, and so does
that of the Secretary OF State. Still it is
a dispNHed question even among Demo-
cratic lawyers"
SIS there any such case on record 20
"This is the first time the issue has
| been made"
"Was there any Republican spite in
the matterp
81 don't know that there was anything
| spiteful in it, because there was no war
made upon Gen. Lawton's fitness, nor
against him personally. 1t is evident,
however, that the Republicans intend to
contest every point they can that will en-
barrass the administration"
"Can Cleveland hold his hand with
tbemY'
"Cleveland is a well poised man OF
great frmness and decision of purpose.
While he will be discreet, he is not a man
to be driven. In addition to that he has
safe advisers, and l think he can take
care Of the situatiOn.N

The Famous Alaska Commercial Com
pany to be Looked IntO-Alaska rs a
summsr Resort.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-F0r some years
a number OF California people have tried
to get an investigation of the affairs Of the
company which has a contract with the
United States for all Of the furs OF the
seal islands in Alaska. This company
has a most profitable contract with the
government. Its stockholders have made
great fortunes out of its profits. The
friends of this company have always
been too strong for the people
who are opposed TO them and who have
sought TO break them down. Last winter,
when Congress passed a law giving a
new form of territorial government 10
Alaska, one or two vigorous Pacific coast
men succeeded in getting a clause in
serted in tho bill directing the new Gov
ernor of the Territory to investigate the
affairs Of this company. The friends OF
the Alaska Seal Company 0id not make
much Of q protest. 1t is now plain why
they did not. The friends of the investi-
cation did not have the correct name OF
the company. It's real name is the
Alaska Commercial Company. The
name given in the bill is the
Alaska Fur and Seal Company. Through
this ingenious juggling of terms the COM
fore Chandler went out Of the Navy De-
partment he ordered the Pnta TO take the
new Governor, Kncaide, over 10 the seal
islands 10 make the Investigation. The
Pinta has not yet returned. But from the
chuckling here among the friends Of the
Alaska Commercial Company, IL Is evil
dent that they do not fear any result from
the Governors investigations.
6 Alaska is becoming quite a summer re-
ort for Washington people. Nearly every
one OF the Washington officials who 90 10
the Pac fic coast in the summer or early
fall continue their Journey to Alasks. The
Alaska Commercial Company places great
facilities IN the way Of Washington OIL
cials 20 add 10 the enjoyment Of the trip.
The result Is that they have a great many
friends in Washington. No one really
expects 10 be able 10 get their contract
away from them, but there are a number
OF enterprising spectators who hope
20 get the contract when It's present term
has expired. / understand the contract
for the Alaska fur supplies has two or
three years more 10 run. All Of che Ale ka
flrs are taken 90 London Jr dressing and
then brought hack 10 this county and

English in dying and preparing these lLrs

NEGROES LEAVING CAROLINA.
The Agents Who Are EntEcfRg Them to
ArkAnaAs Driven Away.

Arkansas Driven Away.
COLUMBIA, April 3.-The tide of emf.
grafton from upper South Carolina con-
tinues to flow westward. A few days ago
a band of 125 colored men, women, and
children left Laurens for Arkansas, and
small parties are leaving Abbeville, Lau-
rens and Greenville almost every
day. This exodus is due chiefly
TO the machlnations of unscrupu-
lous emigration agents, who are
employed by the railroad companies,
and who travel through the State and
paint glowing pictures TO the ignorant
colOred man OF the wonderful induce
ments offered him to locate In Arkansas,
which they represent to be "a land
flowing with milk and honey" Many Of
these people who are thus enticed away
from their homes are under contract TO
work on plantations for the year. Con-
sequently, the emigration agents are in
bad repute with the white planters.
A few nights ago several agents had
gathered at point in Abbeville county
10 talk emigration 10 a crowd OF negroes.
Suddenly they were startled by a terrific
war WhOOp. coupled with shouts of 'aGit,
you scoundrelsw proceeding from per-
sons concealed in the woods. These
manifestations were followed by a volley
Of rifle shots. The glib-tongued agents
at once took to their heels, followed by
shower Of bullets. They have not been
seen since. The farmers of Laurens are
now hunting for a party Of agents who
have been working In that county OF
late, and should they be found they
will be summarlly dealt with. 1t is esti-
mated that fully 1000 Aaurens county ne
groes have emigrated to Arkansas sincs
last November. A party Of ten or twelve
families who left Abbeyille county in De-
cember have just returned TO their OLD
homes. At the place where they intended
TO locate one man was found hauling
wood for seven widows, whose husbands
had dropped OF in that inhospitable coun-
try. This state Of things so alarmed the
women Of the party hat they Immediately
set their faces toward their old homes, and

cial resources of Egypt.

renewed peace proposals, the basis OF
which Is that the blockade of Petchili and

France.
When Gen. Neorier was wounded in the

ing that every man falling into the hands
of the Chinese would be killed,
threw his artillery and a portion
Of his treasure and stores into
the river, utilizing the mules to carry the
wounded in a hasty retreat. 1t is report
ed that the Chinese attache at Berlin, who
was said TO be coming to Paris to con-
clude peace negotiations, has telegraphed
that he is not coming here, and that he
has no mission to treat for.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The officers of the
Atlas mail steamship AIene, which plies
between New York and the rebellious dis
tricts of the Isthmus Of Panama, and
which arrived here yesterday, described
the situation at Cartagena and AspinWall
as dangerous in the extreme.
"These people are tough citizens" said
the first officer of the ship, 'and their
blood is uD. On our last voyage we reached
Aspinwall on March 7. Things were then
in a critical condition, though the govern
ment was in possession of the city. The
rebels we're surrounding it in little bands
of desperedoes of Spanish, Mexican, negro
and every Southern race. They didn't
know what they are fighting for. All
they want is blood and plunder. We
kept away from the wharf at night, for we
didn't know what might happen at any
time. The morning we left, the officers al
Aspinwall asked us to convey a small
body Of their troops, about go men, to Car.
tagena, as the city was then, as they had
learned by overland couriers, In desperate
straits. We took the men down there,
and on entering the bay they concluded
not to go ashore.
''Ihey were none too brave nor venture
some, ana Jne Town was pfdcJlcallY IN tne
hands OF the rebels. We had some pas
sengers aboard, but they were very loath
to leave our comparatively,safe decks for
the streets of Cartagena. Firing was
constantly going on, though with little
other effect, while we were there, than to
injure property. Several passengers went
ashore, and the sixty troops finally, after
making some effort TO land IN the city,
were put ashore in little fortress at the
entrance of the bay.
"We returned to Aspinwall on the
morning Of March II. The night before
it had been captured by the rebels who
were parading the streets, firing at hap
hazard, marauding and playing the mis-
chief generally. We steamed up TO our
wharf and landed our merchandise. Our
purser was shot at while he was on shore,
but not hit. Then we went back and an
chored in the river. A party of refugees
came aboard during the night. They were
