DISCORDANT DEMOCRATS.
The Rival Factions Confer, But Could
Not Reach an Agreement.
The Regulars Offer Everything for
Peace Except the Surrender of
the Organization.

The Democrats have agreed to disagree.
The two factions of the party-the
regulars and the "reformers"-hada
conference last evening at the Golden
Eagle Hotel, called for the purpose of
coming to some sort of an understand
ing, to pool their Issues, if possible.
But it was mo CO."
w. S. Leake called the conference to
order. The meeting resolved itself into
an executive session, and reporters were
barred out. Then they proceeded to ex-
change views. 1t was long and noisy
exchange, too. The regulars" were the
first to offer terms. They were willing,
they said, to place the reform" nomi-
nees on the regular ticket, but would
not under any consideration surrender
the organization. They declared that
they were the regularly elected Demo-
cratic Central Committee, recognized by
the State Central Committee and porses-
sing other necessary credentials. They
saw no reason, they said, why they
should step down and out at this stage of
the proceedings.
The "reformers," however, would not
agree to this. When asked what they
wanted they did not offer any PROPOSE
ton, except that they should be given the
organization or half of it.
A candidate for the Assembly adj
dressed the conference at length, advis-
ing harmony. He said there was no
sense in going into the campaign divided,
as both would lose. By uniting, how
ever, they could accomplish much. He
suggested that it would be the proper
thing to agree upon ticket and then let
the regular committee submit it to the
Secretary of State. 1t would look bad to
have half of the Democratic nominees
going around with petitions in order to
get on the ticket.
A motion was made in accordance with
this suggestion. but the "retormers''
would not agree to it.
After long talk, in which several high
keyed speeches were made, the two COM
mittees adjourned in disgust.
The regulars then held a short meet
ing, and decided to meet Tuesday even
ing and complete the regular ticket.
A sreformer," being asked why an
agreement could not be reached, told a
reporter that s'the other fellows wouldn't
come off their perch" All they wanted
was the organization. "We represent the
majority and the better element of the
Democracy" he aid, land they should
recognize us. They have the organiza-
ton, but it rightly belongs to us. We
would elevate the party, but all they
want is a chance to sell out. If we give in
to them all our work will be for nothing.
We may not be able to elect any of our
candidates, now that the breach has
widened, but we will take good care that
they don't elect any of theirs"

ADJUSTMENTS

1.-THE Ensign was played at the Met
ropolitan Theater last night to one of the
largest audiences ever assembled in that
place of amusement. 1t is estimated that
fully two hundred people were turned
away, as neither seats nor standing room
could be provided for them. The play is
an exceedingly strong drama and is ex-
cellently played. 1t is full of appeals to
patriotism, manliness and human sympa-
thy. 1t presents some historic characters
in a very life-like manner. Logan Paul as
President Lincoln effected remarkable
makeup and gave strikingly close per-
sonation of MIR. Lincoln, but it was not
nearly so fine as that of Gideon Welles,
Secretary of the Navy, by Howard Scott.
A precocious little girl, Edith Wright,
was central figure, and she made it, by
her brightness, strong one. Perhaps
the best work in artistic acting was that
done by James Neill as the ensign.
and by B. X. Graham as the cock
swain. The piece was not fully
mounted, as it calls for heavy scenery
and rapid and correct handling,
and consequently large number Of
skilled stage hands. But it was well
mounted for all that and the special sets
were very handsome. A very light vein
of low comedy runs through the play,
but has no apparent relationt to it. The
piece is a money maker, attractive, and
in appeals for applause is remarkable.
But it is full of inconsistencies and i'm
probabilities. No such trial and condem-
nation as is presented would be possible
in the navy. The finding of naval officer
guilty of murder, for killing in an ARRAY
that the testimony proved was one of
mutual conflict, and in which the accused
defended his flag from insult and his
person from assault, is huge improb-
ability. There are other unlikely things
presented under the name of law and

"BULL-HEAD" PLOVERs
Delicious Birds That May Be Bapged
at This Season.

The toothsome little upland plover,
known as the 'bull-head" species, are
now in season, and as they are not in
cluded among the birds protected by the
game laws, it is legitimate to shoot them.
These plump little fellows always come
about the middle of September, Just be-
fore the first rain, and remain about a
month. Whence they come, or whittier
they go, nobody seems to have discovered.
Their favorite haunts in this locality
are on the high dry, plains of Yolo. west
OF the tule basin. There they congregate
in great tlocks, and are easily approached
at first, but after being hunted few times
they become very wild. The easiest wav
to approach them is to drive upon them
with a vehicle.
There is not much sport in shooting
them-that is, as compared with Quail or
snipe-shooting-bu each one bagged is
well worth the ammunition expended on
it. They are regarded by epicures as pre-
ferable to the quail, or even the Jack
snipe, the flesh being very tender, Juicy
and of rich flavor.
A few days ago a couple of gentlemen
drove out on the plains and bagged about
i've dozen of the birds. Pending the
opening of the duck and quail season,
buli-head plover shooting hts in very
nicely.

Indians.
Drunken Indians are quite numerous
about the streets these days, but the po-
lice have not been able to detect anyone
in the act Of selling liquor to the red
men since the arrest of the man whom
Special Officer George McManus caught
at it some weeks ago.
Yesterday, however, McManus got an
other fellow, one Thomas Smith, who
was working the fire-water trick. Smith
received money from an Indian and
bought some liquor in a Chinese store.
When he came out he walked short dis
lance with the Piute and then passed the
package over to him.
The officer witnessed the proceeding,
and then stepped up and arrested Smith.

potatoes and make starch at good profit,
II this can be done the tule farmers will
certainly rejoice, as there often is sur
plus of potatoes that would reap profit
instead of loss if this affair proves sue
cessful.
The managers of the factory will also

Grand, Brannan, Andrus and Tyler

ton from Columbus also went 70 Charles

Mr.. Haas said there had been an increase
IN business in Savannah throughout the
Central railroad territory proper. He
stated his position on the question Of differ
entails between the Virginia and South
western ports showing how he had been
misrepresented and that there had bean a
misstatement Of facts.

Traffic Manager Owens Of the Plant
system supported MT. Haas. He said The
Richmond aud Danville has always been an
advocate Of a fair system OF rates. He did
not place any weight upon the charges
made against the road.
Mr.. Haas said the interests Of the Rich-
mond and Danville do not lie in in1uring
Savannah. but IN bringing every dollars
werth OF freight here possible.
Mr.. II. NJ. Conner wanted to know If a
fixed rate could not be secured for all the
ports upon which calculations could be
based,
Mr.. Haas replied that this could not be
done with the present system of rates.
Mr.. Conner then wanted to know how il
was that Charleston could give lower rates
foreign than Savannah.
Mr.. Haas replied that the reduction was
not made by the railroad lines, and he
thought the difference lay in the shipping
rates.
CHARLEsTON's Low RATE.
MT. d. l. MacIntyre inquired if the rail-
roads did not carry cotton into Charleston
at the same rate as into Savannah.
Mr.. Haas replied that this was not the
case from any points In tho CaptraI y-ofIrOoJ
territory, except from points where there is
competition with other lines, such as Macon
and Albany. "Where point is controlled
by the Richmond and Danville lines, or by
the Plant lines. or by the two systems
together Mr.. Haas said, "a higher rate is
made to Charleston than to Savannah, but
where there is competition with the East
tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and other
lines the same rate is made to both Places
Col. Owens said From all western
points the rates are the same to all the
southeastern ports, notwithstanding the
difference in rates at the ports"
NOT THE TERMINAL.

East Tennessee is not part OF the Terminal
system.
No sir" he replied, "the Danville ia
not the Richmond Terminal. We don't
have anything to do with 1t. We don't
know anything about II"
The members did not seem disposed to ask
Mr.. Haas any further questions nor to
make any complaints, and the conference
adjourned.
Mr.. Haas statements were brief and
terse without going into any detail. From
subsequent expressions 1t is doubtful il the
members of the exchange were thoroughly
satisfied with Mr. Haas exposition of the
subject, but as they made very little effort
to draw him out they cannot blame him.

The healthful impulse toward activity that

INVOLUHTARY MANSLAUGHTER
THE JURY's VERDICT.

Penalty OF the Lsw-Ths Verdict a

Finding q Compromise 20 Avoid a
| Mistrial.
The jury In the Hughes murder ease re-
turned the surprising verdict Of involuntary
manslaughter against the prisoner yester-
day at 1890 O'Clock. Judge Falligant
sentenced Hughes to the full extent Of the
law-three years IA the penitentiary.
When the jury had not agreed up to 10
o'clock, everybody expected that the result
would be a mistrial At II o'clock the jury
sent wsrd TO Judge Falligant that it desired
further instructions. When the jurors
were brought iato the court room they
asked to be given tbs law as to involuntary
manslaughter. Judge Falligant complied,
although no one who had listened to the
evidence could understand why the jury
wanted to consider the lowest grade of
homicide In connection with the case.
The jury retired TO its room a second time
and after debating for an hour aud half
decided upon the in voluntary mauslaughter
verdict Attorney Morgan polled each one
Of the jurors, but it made no difference as
to the result.
When Clerk Carr read the finding a look
Of surprise passed over the faces OF every
one present. Hughes himself evidently
didu't expect to get off so easy, and be
turned to his mercIful jury and bowed his
thanks. Hughes took his sentences quite
coolly. His sisters were not present at the
time, but his old father was.
When the verdict became known on the
streets general surprise was expressed. 1t
was expected from the evidence and the
charge of the court that the verdict would
be at least for voluntary manslaughter, and
many even expected verdict Of murder.
bat the jury didn't seem to take the same
view Of the evidence as most Of the specta-
tors did.
The jury on the first ballot stood five for
acqult al, four for voluntary granddaughter
aud three for murder. There was no change
until yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock, whel
the men holding OUT for murder weakened
and went over TO the manslaughter con-
