IN Place OF Senator Gordon's.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-In the Senate
70 day, among the bills reported from the
committees aud placed on the calendar was
one aDpropriating $32. 600 to complete the
public building at Pensacola, Fla, as origi-
nally designed.
Dir. Gordon made a personal statement in
explanation of his absence from the session
Of the committee on coast defense. 1t was
70 the effect that be had seen in the Record
the name OF Mr.. German as a member OF
that committee instead OF bis own. He
found now that that was an error and he
would henceforth attend the meetings
IN FAVOR OF RETRENCHMENr.
In the same connection he said that il hs
had been ia the committee he would have
voted against the bill reported yesterday,
providing for coast defenses. Although il
was a bill of great inpoT lance, and one
that deserved much consideration, he should
have felt constrained in the present condi-
ton of the country and the peo-
pie TO vote against 1t. There
were. he thought, no war clouds
visible 70 give unusual concern or ALARM
The country was in much more danger from
the burdens OF taxation than from any in
yasion Of foreign foe. 1t occurred to him,

mtttee to inquire and report what legisla-
ton Is necessary to relieve the court Of

On motion of Mr.. Stewart the bill to pro-
vide for the free coinage Of gold and silver

tee. The Senate then, after brief execu-
tive session, at 4 o'clock adjourned.

KICKING AT AUGUSTA.
The Displacement OF a German for
Negro Causes a Stir

The Displacement OF a German for a
Negro Causes a Stir.
AUGUSTA, GA, Jan. 13.-The election of
the negro physician. DR.. Culp, as superin-
tendent of the Freedman's hospital, over DIR.
r. o. Gercke, who has held the post for
years, has not only excited the Indignation
of the German element against the new
council, but has called forth formal pro-
test from the students of the
medical college, who have met and passed a
resolution. OF course there was no oppos-
ton to DR.. Gercke as a German, and it is
only an unfortunate coincidence that
the removal of Ed Doscher, whose office was
abolished, and the defeat of DR.. Gercke re-
moved the only two German office holders in
the city. The new council simply decided
TO give to the negroes the office of superin-
tendent Of the negro hospital, which with
the superintendent Of the negro cemetery
are the most appropriate offices that could
be given to them. The whole town is agog
over the matter and the new administration
finds itself in hot water just at this time.

Case Involving Their Jurisdiction
Argued at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-An important
case was argued this morning before the
United States supreme court on an appeal
which came up from Georgia. On one side
was the Attorney General and on the other
was w. c. Glenn of Atlanta The case
was regarded as one of Importance, as it
involved the jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts. Mr.. Glenn, IN concluding
his argument and in urging
that state courts furnished the
proper tribunal for the trial of such cases,
gave number Of interesting facts.
Among others be stated that snort time
ago conspiracy existed in the mountain
Gus portion Of Georgia to intimidate and
deter witnesses. This resulted in num-
Der of arrests in the community where
the conspiracy existed. A large mum eer of
the conspirators were tried in the federal
courts and all were acquitted, whereas on
the same facts they were tried by the state
courts and five were convicted and sent to
the penitentiarY for life. He stated that
the Attorney General was cognizant of
these facts Mr. Glenn instanced this and
other cases as evidence of the temper and
spirit of the people in their determination
to enforce the laws.

he Won't be Able to Preside in the
House Before February.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Although
Speaker Crisp was able to SIT up for half
hour to-day, it will be February before he
presides over the House. By next week,
however, he will be able to talk about the
rules and the other business of the House.
1t is accepted now as settled that the ap-
preparation bills will be distributed by the
new rules, as they have been during recent
years. Consequently, as soon as he is able,
Speaker Crisp will have a meeting of the
chairmen OF the committees having appro-
priatlon bills in charge in his room to urge
upon them corporation in the effort
to economic. Without this cooperation
the effort at economy will be in vain. The
appropriation committee proper cannot
alone effect much, two of its bills, that for
pensions and that for the District of Column
bia, being practically outside of the reach
of retrenchment, the former for sentimental
and the latter for financial reasons, the dis
trict expenditures being determined by its
tax receipts, which meet one-half Of the
expense. In spite Of the sincere efforts Of
Speaker Crisp it will be difficult, if not im-
practicable, to effect the large reduction
desired

prices Of cotton and that some Of its
paper had gone 20 protest. RlmOr at

houses ia the business. A visit to the office
Of the firm found the general partners at
their desks.
EMBARRASSMENT ADMITTED.
Joseph II. Coates, vino acted as spokes-
man for the firm, in. reply to an inquiry
said: Yes, our firm Is embarrassed" but
beyond that be declined to make any state
ment other than no assignment had
been made. No information whatever
could be CLEANED from any of the general
partners as to the nature of the embarrass-
which led up to It. One

had been entered against the firm and no
preference given.

said he had been advised that the firm
was unable TO meet its payments and
that a note for 5000 had gone to protest

fortune.

valuable improved property as is to

The general impression in business circles
is that the extension will be granted. It
Is stated that the suspension was brought
about by failure to collect in part bounty
for sugars and in part for their inability to
make other collections, caused by the low
price Of cotton.

MILL MANAGERS MAULED
ANEx-PRESIDENTC HARGEsG GROSS
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

ALoss of $4,000 Said to be the Re-
q, suit OF Giving One House Exclusive
Control of the Product-Six Per Cent.
Bonds Offered at 8O-A Decline OF
81 Ia Points in the Value Of the
Stock.
( COLUMBUS. GA, Jan. 13.-There is an
other sensation in reference to the Eagle
and Phoenix mills-this time in the shape Of
q salty circular issued to the stockholders
by Col W. II. Young, the former president
of the company. The circular sets forth
that at the last meeting of the stockholders
an almost entirely new board of directors
was elected and that the directory now con-
sists of four lawyers one doctor, one bank
president, one ex-bank president. enc
grocery merchant and one manufacturer.
Mr.. Young was elected president Of the
board, but soon resigned and left the d.
rectory.
CAUSE OF BIS RESIGNATION.
He says the reason was resolution Of the
new board to place the product Of the mills
exclusively in the hands of the Cone, Ex-
port and Commission Company, TO which
be was opposed. He figures that this plan
entails a loss Of S42, 500 per year. The
circular charges that the directors are offer
ing the unsold portion of $1,000, 900 of per
cent bonds at 50 cents on the dollar, which
entails loss Of 100000. 1t says this loss
could easily have been avoided II the sale
had been properly managed. There will be
further loss 30 the stockholders in excess
OF interest TO be paid Of $4,000 annually.
This, added to the Cone commissions, makes
an annual loss Of S75, 800.
PI.ING IN on
add to this, says Col. Young's circular,
s'the loss in the sale OF bonds caused by mis-
management of $500 ,000 and you will un-
derstand why | have felt it my duty to
communicate with you and place the facts
before you. Under the new management the
stock of the company has declined 81 4poiuts.
In the face Of these facts" il continues.
''some Of the directors are soliciting the
proxies Of stockholders, Offering as an in
ducement the promise OF a dividend This
consider an insult to your intelligence. You
cau see at glance the absurdity Of such
promise
THE COLONEL soLICITS PROXIES.
Col. Young then asks the cooperation of
the shareholders, and expresses confidence
that with sufficient number Of proxies in
trusted to him be can elect a board OF di-
rectors who have knowledge of commercial
and manufacturing affairs, and who have
the interests Of the mills at heart. He says
81 can correct some of the great mistakes
that have been committed, pull the Eagle
and Phoenix out of the mire into which 1t
has been placed during the past ten months,
and place her once more in the proud posi-
ton she occupied one year ago. viii you
help mel II so, please date, sign and have
witnessed the inclosed proxy and return to
me at once.n Col Y Dung disclaims any
desire to be elected president again. but
wishes the management placed in the hands
of capable men. The meeting of the stock
holders takes place Feb. 5, and in their an-
nual report the directors will probably take
notice of Col Young's statement.
