had not Intended to enter into e discussion
Of this great theme, for the setting forth of
have given it spscial attention.
Let me, therefore, say simply this /:
That for myself temporarily In place of In
tiuence in this country, and much more for the
great body of its citizenship, to express the de-
sire of America for peace with the whole world.
Applause
NOT RIPE FOR DISARMAMENT.
1t would have been vain to suggest the pull
ing down Of the block houses or family disarm-
ament to the settlers on hostile Indian
frontier. They would have told you rightly that
the conditions were not ripe. And so it may
be, and it is probably true that full
application OF this principle, Is not pres
emily possible, the devil stu being
foundries and probably will best promote a set
tlement of international disputes by arbitration,
by havingit understood that IL an appeal is TO
be TO more fiery tribunal, we shall not be out
of the debate. lApplause.l There is unity Of
church and of humanity. and the lines of prog
ress are the same 1t is by the great Christian sen
timent, characterized not only by high sense
of justice, but by a spirit of love and forebear-
ance, mastering the civil institutions and gov
ernments of the world, that we Shall ap
proach universal peace and adopt arbitration
methods of settling disputes. Applause. Let
me thank you, Mr.. Chairman, and you gentle
standing before you for a m )ment and for this
most cordial welcome you have given me Ibeg
to express again my high appreciation of the
character of these delegates and Of the NOM
bership Of the great church from which they
come, and to wish that in yonr remaining delib-
erations and in your journeys to far distant
homes you may have the guidance and care of
that God whom we all revere, Applause.
As the president passed out of the church
the entire conference arose and applauded
his remarks.
The lirst appointed address of the morn
ing session was delivered by Representa-

A SAILOR SLAIN In CHILE
AMERICAN AND NATIVE TARS
FIGHT AT VALPARAISO

CIV Other American and Several
Chilean Sailors Injured in the Con-
4,ct-The Auti-Ame erican Feeling
Pnnuiug High-More Trouble Feared
at the Funeral.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Assistant Secre-
tsrv Soley received a telegram tonight
from Cact. Schley, commanding the cruiser
baltimore, at Valparaiso, saying that the
boatswain's mate was killed and six sailors
of the cruiser Baltimore were injured during
n street row in Valparaiso while ashore on
liberty Yesterday afternoon, and that he
was now Investigating the affair.
MORE THAN A DRUNKEN ROW.
SANTIAGO, CHILE, Oct. 1.-THE anti
American feeling, which is very pro-
pounced. reached climax last evening in
the streets Of Valparaiso. A number of
sailors of the United States steamer Balti-
more, now in that port, were walking along
the street when they were confronted by
some sailors Of a Chilean man-of-
war. Some words passed, when q
fierce fight followed. There was
evidently bad blood on both sides, and it
only needed pretext to bring on a con-
fict. Both parties were armed with knives
and pistols, which were freely used. When
the combatants were separated by the police
and bys.anders it WAS found that one of
the Baltimore'S sailors had been killed and
I've others seriously wounded. Several of
The Chilesns were also badly hurt.
FIRST VISIT ASHORE IN A MONTH.
This was the first time the Baltimore's
ailors had been ashore for a month. The
iutendente Of the city had assured Capt
Schley Of the Baltimore that his sailors
would be perfectly safe on Chilean soil.
The feeling to-day between the Americans
and Chileans is very strong. Several addi,
tional fights occurred to-day among the
sailors, but they were not so serious as
that of yesterday. The dead sailor
Of the Baltimore will be buried tomorrow.
An armed force will be landed from the
Baltimore to furnish a military guard of
honor for the occasion. Trouble is feared,
as it will be Sunday and election day. The
Chilean officials, alive TO the gravity of the
occasion, have again promised the Ameri-
cans protection from assault under all cir

OF HER CHILD'S LOVER.

An Attempt Made Months Ago to
Compel Him to Marry Her After She
Haad Given Birth to a Child-He Ad-
mitted Intimacy, But Denied Being
Her Bstrayer.
GALLATIN, TENN, Oct. 17.-Gallatin is in
the throes OF excitement over the tragically
sensational denouement Of q scandal of last
year, the publication OF which was sup
pressed at the time on account
of the social prominence and
connections of the parties involved. In
April of 1890. Miss Minnie Overton, Of this
vicinity, gave birth TO child at Bowling
Green, KY, the accouchement taking place
in negro hovel Ia the edge OF
town. Six weeks before the
event she was walking the streets OF GAL
latin, seemingly in cheerful spirits and no
one suspecting her condition. When the
fact was known it came like thunder
clap, aud many refused to give credence 10
the story. The child lived but q few
weeks.
MISS ovERToN's STORY.
Miss Overton claimed that she had been
seduced by Samuel r. Elliott, a popular
ysung man Of the county, whose father was
| Attorney General A. r. Elliott, an eloquent
lawyer and preacher. She said that be had,
accomplished her ruin six years ago aud
had several times saved her from
| disgrace by means Of medicines. Finding
| that she was about to become a mother she
left home ostensibly on a visit to friends in
| Bowling Green, where the child
was born. and where Elliott
followed her. Elliott, while admitting his
| relations with her, denied that he mad se-
duced her, and claimed that other mon hadl
been intimate with her. He refused to
marry her and would not leave the
| country when threatened with death
by her father and two brothers, and for
months every one feared personal encoun-
| ter, but nothing came OF it and the matter
Quieted down. In the meanwhile Miss
Overton left here and is now thought to bs
| living in Texas.
v1TRIoL THROWN IN HIS FACE.
This afternoon at O'Clock, after eighteen
months had elapsed, the scandal was revived
in a most sensational aud dramatic manuer.
Elliott was in the store Of w. Witherspoon.
on the square. when Mrs Archie w. Over
ton, mother OF the girl, entered and
walking up to Elliott without word
dashed the contents Of a large bottle of
vitriol, or sulphuric acid. into his face. 10
struck him bet cen the eyes and spread all
over his face. In ten minutes his left eye was
entirely destroyed, and it is thought his
other eve will be lost. His face was horri-
bly, burned. He did not fall aud only spoke
| TO ask for some oil
IN AWFUL AGONY.
| Doctors were summoned, and he was re-
moved TO the residence Of his sister, Mrs.
| May Knight, where he now lies in great
/ agony. Mrs. Overton at once lef5

and well educated brunette about % years
of age. She wns very popular in society and
her downfall was the source OF sorrow TO her
many warm friends. Sheriff Terry has just

warrant for Mrs Overton's arrest, sworn

conclusive testimony that we are wanting in all
the elements of wealth about which we boast
50 mucn.

your aid in adopting some practical movement

our state.
This we can accomplish IL we will lay aside all
discussions and sectional jealousles and work
together with an eye single to the Welfare Of
Florida. Respectfully W. d. CHIPLEY,
Acting chairman.
