Central America
From Southern Ports of the
United States.

The Pan-American transportation Com
pany an Organization Which, 1t is
Claimed, VIII Cause the Stars and
stripes to Float Over Carrying Vessels
in All the Waters of the Globe.
CHICAGO. Aug. 5.--The officers and
directors of the Pan-American Trans
portation company an organization
formed for the purpose OF putting on
lines of steamers between the southern
ports of the United States and the prin-
cipal ports of South America, Central
America and the West Indies, are in
session in this city and will probably
continue in consultation for several
days. The purpose is to map out the
work more completely and perfect ar
rangements for the floating of addition
al securities to carry it on to the amount
of 81, 900, ,00O.
DR.. w. O. Kulp, of Galveston, treas
urer of the company, says that success
is assured. He says it has been decided
to move the headquarters OF the compa-
ny from Mobile to Chicago, which is to be
made the central distributing point for
all products to and from South America.
The doctor declares tnat this Will reVo-
lrti0ni2o the distribution OF meats and
-four. For instance, -four which IS now
sent to the West Indies by way OF Liver
pool will be sent from Chicago direct.
"The possibilities to the United States
and the world, in fact" said the doctor,
"are so enormous as to seem almost
visionary. Within year after the
lines are established the United States
will Lave as much carrying trade as any
nation, and the American flag VIII I've
seen on all the waters of the globe.
He declined to give the names OF the
capitalists back of the scheme, but sad
they were the same people who were III,
str1mentaI in framing and passing the
steamship mail-subsidy bill oooo
The original capital stock OF $4,000,
900 has already been subscribed, but the
company has authority to increase 1t TO
S100,OO0,000 The officers are W, b,
Clarke, of Chicago, presidents; IL. =
Ruttan, of Chicago, vice president; i;

The directors are A. P. Chamberlain OF
Dcs Moines; A. Gray, of Chicago,
Howell Jones, of Topeka, Kan; Gay
lord Clark of Mobile; A. 5. Ben, OF
Galveston.
The ports from which the lines are in
tended to run are Galveston New
Orleans, Mobile and Tampa. There viii
be three lines from Galveston and Tampa
each, and one, or possibly two from the
other ports named. The projectors con
template the building of at least twenty
steel steamships under the provisions OF
the mail-subsidy bill. The vessels must
be bnilt of American material, by Amer
lean labor and manned by American sea-
men. BY the subsidy act the Last line
must be in full operation within three
years and the company confidently eA-
poets to accomplish this.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
KENTUCKY ELECTION.
The New Constitution Carried by a
Large Majority.

Large Majority.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 8. - Monday was
was held the last election by viva voce
vote that will ever be held in Kentucky.
Reports from all over the state show
that the Democratic ticket was elected
by about the usual naiority--l5,00 to
10000. The Republicans made some
gains in the western part of the state,
but it was offset by losses in the noun
tain districts. The Peoples party sue
ceeded in electing anumber of represent
atives and may, with the assistance of
the Republicans, control the legislature
Returns are very irregular and incom-
plete, and it will be some time before
the exact result will be given.
The following is the ticket elected;
Governor-John Y. Brown.
Lieutenant governor-M. G. Afford.
Attorney general-M. j. Hendrick.
Auditor-L. c. Norman,
Treasurer-H. S. Hale,
Superintendent public instruction -
E. P. Thompson.
Register land office-G. B. Swango.
Clerk court of appeals-A. Adams.
The new constitution, despite its pow
erful opposition of railroads, banks and
corporations generally, was carried by q
majority of at least rs, 900, and the last
state constitution that still recognized
slavery is a thing of the past. The new
constitution will tax railways, banks and
stock companies, abolish the office
of public printer; provide for secret
ballot system and municipal govern
ment reforms and also carries an anti
lottery clause which will wipe out that
of the dozen lottery charters now being
operated with semi-daily drawings at
Covington and Louisville IN the inter
ests of policy games throughout the
United States generally,
Later Returns.
About ninety out of 10 counties in the
state have been heard from and they
show Democratic plurality for the state
ticket of about 10000, These figures are
quite as likely to be swelled as dimin-
ished by the returns yet to be received.
The so-called Peoples party have
elected between twelve and twenty
members of the house and two or three
senators. The most important victhory
they have secured was in Davies couu-
ty, where they elect Petit and Birk-
head, the former of whom it is under
stood will be a candidate for speaker and
as the agricultural element will be in
complete control of the organization
of the house and will shape all matters
of legislation, he stands most excel
lent show of election,
The legislature has never been in as
complete control of the agricultural
classes since the sessions of '75 and '76,
and as they are expected to stand aloof
from the alleged straight Democracy,
there is a great deal of concern mani
Tested as to what their policy will be in
the next session.

the encanpment. Charles A. Fink,
assistant quarteTmaster general of this
department., said: I'VE have come uD
to this encampment to make fight on
the color line We object to colored
members of the Grand Army, and want
them formed into seperate COLOMBIA
ton 1t is all right here in the north,
where you have only a few colored
veterans, but do you know that in the
south there is any quantity of colored
members of the Grand Army who are
not thirty years old? They swarm in
our posts, and white man has no show.
We will not associate with them. and if
the present convention does not do some
thing to relieve the southern posts of
this growing trouble, then white Grand
Army veterans will withdraw"
Commander-in-C Chief Veazey declined
TO discuss the "color" dispute, and was
disposed to minimize the importance of
the question in controversy.
