A Joint Canvass of the Ninth Con-
gressional District Proposed.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 16.-Rev. Thad
Pickett, independent candidate for con-
gress in the Ninth district, has challenged
Thomas E. Winn, the democratic nominee,
to Joint discussion of the questions affect.
ing the people. After stating his candidacy
he says: "If 1t was not for my claim and
right to run this race, made SO by the voice
of ten thousand liberty loving citizens who
cast their ballots for me two years ago,
you would now be congressman, made SO
by the act of less than one-fifth of the
qualified voters of the district. l assure
you, sir, as brother allianceman, so far
as 1 am concerned the discussion shall be
carried out on high plane OF
dignified courtesy. l now name Capt.
P. Fl. Lyon chairman, DR.. C.
Pickett and Capt. John B. Richards
who will act as a committee for me to meet
a like committee of your choice who will
name the times and places of our meetings.
AS this challenge comes from a mountaineer
Its motive is as high as the loftiest peak in the
mountains from whence it is borne, and its
purpose as pure as the waters which go
from its base, and by their course find their
way to, and act as. CHARTERS Of other
streams"

SALISBURY AND THE SEALS.

His Last Letter to Secretary Blaine
Reafflrms England's Alleged Rights.
LONDON, Aug. l6-Lord Salisburys last
dispatch to Secretary Blaine is dated Aug
2, and in it he quotes from historical docu-
monts in support of his contention that En-
gland has refused to admit Russias claim to
exclusive jurisdiction over Behring Sea,
as asserted in an ukase OF 1921
He says it is impossible to admit
that the right to fish and catch seals III the
high seas can be held to be abandoned by a
nation from the mere fact that for a certain
number of years 1t has not suited the sub
jects of that nation TO exc else such right.
It must be remembered that the existence
Of British Columbia as a colony with ship
ping interests is comparatively recent. He
then announces the governments willing
ness to submit the question to impartial
arbitration.
SECRETARY ADAMS DISPATCH.
The Pail Mall Gazette, discussing the
Behring sea question, says: "The full text
of Secretary Adams dispatch to the British
government does not invalidate Lord Sails
bury's argument, which was founded on
extracts from the dispatch. We are unable
TO conceive clearer case for arbitration,
or to believe that Americans do not ap-
prove of arbitration"

tary Baine's tone to desire to influence the

FRANCE AND OUR TARIFF.
Action OF the Consuler Conference at
Paris.

PARIS. Aug. 16.-The Mckinley bill still
excitss commercial circles in this city and
the PROVINCES. The recent consular confer
ence held in this city received complaints
from nearly thirty chambers of commerce
pointing out the difficulty of complyi &
with the provisions of the bill without al
m st destroying trade. The conference
passed a resolution regretting that dele
gates from the chambers of commerce
did not attend the sessions, as it
could have been shown that the bill did not
oppose honest importers. that its only aim
was to protect the revenues of the United
States, and that the fines aud penalties i'm
posed by the bill were chiefly a re-enact-
ment OF the old laws. The conference
decided to forward the communications
received from the chambers to Washington
for the most favorable consideration that
the terms of the law would permit.
A COPY SENT TO RIBoT.
1t also transmitted to NJ. Ribot, minister
Of foreign affairs, q copy OF the resolutions
adopted. with the assurance of an earnest
desire to enforce the law in the interest Of
merchants as far as possible. to facilitate
trade and extend amlcable commercial re
lations. Though the general proceedings of
the conference were secret, it is known that
the two chief points of discussion were the
question of exacting the original bills for
every article in an invoice before legalizing
it, and the question OF determining what
should be considered the original place OF
manufacture at which the invoice should be
legalized in cases where goods have passed
through various stages of manufacture at
different points, receiving only slight finish-
ing touches at the point Of the final sale.
A committee was appointed TO meet in
Frankfort. Germany, a week or two hence
TO prepare report which will be forwarded
to Washington.
The French press has magnified the reso-
lutions into promise to waive some Of the
most stringent requirements Of the law.
The papers appear to believe that the Amer
ican consular body has the will and right to
nullify an act of congress.
Consul General Rathburne will transfer
his Office to his successor on Sept. /, and
will sail for the United States on Sept 4.
The conference adopted a resolution hear
tily complimenting him on the part he took

MOROCCO FACTORY eTRIKERs
A Belief that the Fight Will Put Up

LYNN, MASS, Aug. 16.-The trouble
among the morocco factory hands is caus-
ing the gravest apprehension. The finish
ers who still remain at work in several fac
tories are only clearing up the stock on
hand, and this done, will cease
work. The manufacturers look on the
trouble as arising at most opportune
time. One states that when the production
of skins ceases the price rising, as it will,
will force the price of shoes higher, and at
the same time lower the price of skins in
hair. The factories affected are those of

for $4,000.
AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. 16.-The prelimi-
nary hearing Of l.. H. Patillo, on the charge
of numbering Charles P. Hudson, consumed
the whole Of to-day and was heard by a
large lumber Of spectators in the court
room. The case was heard by Mag gstrates
Davis and Picquet Foster &c Lamar ADD
Judge Twiggs appeared for the defense and
Edward Hunter and Il. J--Hudson of
Jefferson county for the prosecution.
The cause of Patillo's anger
against Mr.. Hudson was shown to
be visit which Mr. Hudson paid Miss
Hall Patillo's divorced wife), after mid
night on her return trip from Tybee. This
visit was explained in the hearing to. day so
that it did not reflect upon the lady, but
Patillo had not had the explanation, aud to
him 1t was a serious reflection upon the
woman who had been his wife. and who,
though no longer under his care, was held
in sacred memory.
THE MEETING UNPREMEDITATED.
The subsequent meeting of Patillo and
Hudson was proved to have been accidental
and unprecedented. An eye witness,
Frank Graham, who was talking with
Patillo when Mr.. Hudson came up, swore
that Patillo denounced Hudson as -
scoundrel for calling on the lady at 2o'clock
in the m rning, and Mr.. Hudson, declaring
he would not take such language from any
body, fired on Patillo, who, In turn drew
his pistol, and general fusillade followed
In which Patillo was wounded and
Mr.. Hudson was killed. Another witness
swore that Mr.. Hudson shot twice before
Patillo shot. Patillo was bound over to the
superior court under S3, 900 on the charge
of voluntary manslaughter. Hon. Patrick
Walsh is his bondsman and Patillo Is re-
leased from custody.
