A TOUR In THE SOUTH.
j. II. INMAN AND PARTY TO VISIT
THIS SECTION SOON.

Hon. Abram s. Hewitt and Ex-Mayor
Will Inspect Some Ore Fields and If
He is Satisfied Mr.. Hewitt May Move
His Iron Plant South.
NEW YORK, March S.-A notable party
OF excursiouists to the south will leave here
tomorrow night. They will travel in two
private cars, which gives some idea Of the
size Of the party. They will be in the
hands OF John II. Inman and John c. CAL
houn, two noted champions Of southern
progress and development. Their inten-
ton is to visit Charleston, Savannah and
Brunswick with view to examining
those ports as outlets for the vast amount
Of new business that is to be developed by
recent railroad alliances and the prospective
growth Of all material interests of the
south. Hon. Abram S. Hewitt and his
brother-in-law, exMayor Edward Cooper,
will be among the distinguished members
OF the party.
oBJEcT OF HEWITT AND COOPER
The party is ostensibly going on pleas
ure trip, but it is whispered on good au-
thority that Messrs. Hewitt and Cooper will
not be bent on pleasure solely. Mr. Hewitt
is reuholy reported 10 have said that his
principal purpose in making the "Trip was to
carefully examine some OF the coal fields
and iron ore districts OF Ten
nessee and Georgia, and that if his ex-
animation confirms the accounts he has ad
OF the vast coal and mineral resources of
those states he will probably move his en-
tire iron manufacturing plant, now in Penn
sylvania, to the south and most likely locate
either in Tennessee or Georgia.
A MOVE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
This possibly foreshadows a move of the
greatest Importance to the south, as Mr..
Hewitt now employs in his Pennsylvania
iron industry over 9, 200 men, aud a cha go
Of base would involve his carrying all those
hands with their families to his new field of
operations II is impossible to say exactly
where he may locate, as he has no precon-
ceived preference, but will be governed en-
tlrely by his inspection of tho whole torri-
tory and settle wherever he finds the great
est advantages.

The Purchase of Bonds to be Continued
for the Present.
WASHINGTON, March s. S.-Secretary Win
dom assumed actual charge of the treasury
department to-day. He was busy with
callers during most of the day, and found
difficulty in transacting the necessary
routine business of the department. He
informed an Associated Press reporter that
the purchase of bonds will be
conhnue for the present, at
least, and added that he had not
yet had time to give the subject proper con
sideration. Among his callers this morn
ing were two delegations interested in ap-
pointments to federal offices in Maryland.
COON Settled ON.
1t is now regarded as practically settled
that Charles +. Coon of New York will be
appointed Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury to succeed Gov. Thompson, and that
George G.. Tichenor of Kentucky, now
special agent Of the treasury, will be ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary to succeed Judge
Maynard. 1t is expected that those named
will be included in the number of nomina-
tions to be sent to the Senate Monday.

BANQUET OF THE EIGHTY CLUB.
Lord Spencer and Mr.. Parnell Among
the Speechmakers.


LONDON, March ga banquet was given
by the Eighty Club this evening in hon,r of
Lord Spencer. Mr.. Lockwood presided
Lord Rosebery, Sir William Vernon Har-.
court, Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Morley, Sir Charles
Russell, and other prominent gentlemen
were present. Mr. Parnell received an ova-
ton. Lord Spencer, in responding to
toast to his health, congratulated
Mr.. Parnell upon the vindlcation
of his character against an attack which, in
vehemence and wickedness, surpassed any
that had ever been made against living
man. They admired Mr.. Parnell's forbear-
ance, dignity, and patience, qualities so
worthy in great leader, and they wanted
to see full reparation done. He thought the
government would have difficulty in clear
ing themselves of the charge of completely
with the Times. He dealt at length with
Irish affairs and expressed confidence that
Mr.. Gladstone would live to carry an inn
proved home rule bill.
PARNELL BERATEs BALFoUR.
In response to loud cries for a speech Mr..
Parnell rose to his feet and was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers. He referred to
Lord Spencer as the herald of Mr. Glad
stones policy Of conciliation, and said that
his opinion was worth more than the judg
ment of a hundred mushrooms like Secre-

who would be gone to morrow, who brought
to the task Of governing Ireland not a
single characteristic of craftsmanship or
genus, and whose only object was to remain
in office as long as possible. Lord Spencer,
after all his experience, had ackno wledged
the truth If what he himself maintained,
that the only way to govern Ireland within
the constitution, is to allow her to govern
herself in all matters that do not interfere
with fha wall -hAinu pf tho rqGt Of the
pire, with which Ireland Is indissolubly
linked.
AN UNTRIED PLAN.
~ admit" Mr.. Parnell continued, "that
another way exists, a way which is untried
as yet, and probably never will be tried, in
which some present success might be gained,
not by Secretary Balfour's bastard semi
constitutional, semi i-coercive method, but
by the method of pure despotsm You
might find among yourselves some great
Englishman or Scotchman who would
go to Ireland (her parlia-
mentary representation having been tax en-
from herr and do justice to her people, de-
spite the complaint of Irish landlordlsm.
Such a method must, however. be outside
of the constitution altogether, and your
Irish governor must have full power to i'm
partially deal with lord and peasant alike.
That, in my Judgment, has always been the
only alternative concession to our reason
able demands"
Lord Rosebery, in proposing a vote of
thanks, also congratulated Mr.. Parnel

A RAILROAD SENSATION.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Line Causes it.

MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, March S.-The
Journal this evening says: Last Wednes-
day the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway officials issued a secret order re-
ducing the wages Of large number OF en-
ployes SO x per cent. Exactly the number
affected by the cut is not known. 1t is un-
derstood that the reduction is confined
principally to agents and clerks, Of which
the road employs small army. At the
same time there is Il feeling that all the
other employees of the road will be called
upon ortly to share in the retrenchment
so liberally begun"
CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT.
Coming as it does, just after the prelimi-
nary announcement of the bad financial
condition of the road, the cut has an es-
pecial significance. 1t will be remembered
that the Milwaukee passed its dividend last
October for the first time in years, the ac-
tion creating no end of hub-bub and excite
ment In financial circles throughout the
country and in England.
ENGLISH STOCKHOLDERS AROUSED.
Some of the English stockholders have
been stirring up the matter with an energy
that even President Miller's visit to Eng
land failed to pacify and recently certain
representatives of the foreign ownership
have been in this country looking up the
condition OF the property. VI course al
this has been kept very quiet, but another
significant fact has come to the surface and
is doubly interesting just now. A special
meeting of the board of directors OF the
company has been called fer next Tuesday
in Milwaukee. Such call is quite unprec-
edented in the history of the road. 1t has
given rise to belief that the dissatisfaction
With the management of the road has taken
definite form, and some developments OF
startling nature are looked for.
DECLARED UNFOUNDED.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March S.-President
Miller of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road left for New York to-day, but
from another official of the road, who was
qualified to speak, a positive denial is made
of the report that the company has made or
contemplated any great reduction of wages.
For some time past the road has been re-
ducing the number Of its employees wherever
possible, but further than this it was stated
that the report from Minneapolis had no

Fears That the Boomers will Become
Impatient and Move in a Body.

EoarS T6aC Lne boomers Will beCOmo
impatient and Move in Body.
WICHITA, KAN, March 81 Blake, a
merchant of;Purcell, l. T., arrived here last
night and said that trains are daily bring
ing there from 100 to $50 persons. Wednes-
day 100 families reached that place from
Michigan. Many are in destitute circum-
stances. They say they are willing to stay
thirty days longer, and if there is then no
proclamation, they will enter, for they
might as well risk losing their lives as their
rights, and they think that no one will at
tempt to remove them. A train Of 100 red
wagons loaded with provisions left Kiowa
yesterday. They will go to the western
part of the country. The greatest fear at
present felt by the people on the line is that
the boomers will become inpatient and in
a body move upon the claims they have
staked out and that conflict with the
soldiers will result There is no likelihood
of AN invasion at present, and Hill and
Cole, the acknowledged leaders, both think
it best, in view of late developments, to
wait for a few weeks, at least.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The story of an
engagement between the German man-of-

There, as in the navy de-
