The Georgia Congressman and

for Democracy.

ATLANTA, Ga. Feb. 27.-The major
lty Of the Georgia Alliance men will not
desert the Democratic for the Peoples
party. Thas was demonstrated at big
Alliance meeting held in Covington to-
day. The speakers were Congressman
l.. f. Livingstone, president of the Geor-
gia Alliance; N. A. Wilson, vice presi-
dent of the Alliance. both of whom have
just returned from the st. Louis con-
ference, and eX-State Senator z. T.
Zeachary, prominent Alliance man.
All the speakers declared it would be
folly for the farmers, who compose the
majority of the Democratic party, to
leave it for the new party, whose main
strength lies with the Republicans in
the West and Northwest.
Livingstone, whose Democracy has
been considered to be of very doubtful
character, declared in no uncertain
tones that he was Democratic-A lliance
man. He said the old adage of LET
well enough alone" applied to organiza-
lions as we'll as to individuals, and he
therefore advised the farmers to work

BRITAIN AND SILVER.
No Ground for the Report as to a
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The report
that Great Britain has consented to
take part in an international monetary
conference and has indicated that the
Bank of England is willing to hold one
NTH or its reserve i'll silver, is denied
at the treasury department in the most
positive terms, and one prominent of

opinion that the present agitation of

Gen. Spauldlng, the acting secretary
OF the treasury, who is certainly well
informed on the subject, was asked if it
is true that Great Britain has indicated

1t is learned from other sources, of

been no material change in the situation
on this question, since the opening of
this session of congress, when the presi-

AN ORDER ON SILVER,
BANDS Bill to Be Given an Early
Date.

Date.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Gas the re-
suit of an informal talk between the
three Democratic members of the COM
mlttee on rules, Messrs. Crisp, Catchings
and McMillIn, determination has been
reached to bring in special order on
the silver question. 1t has been de-
termined to make the Bland free COIN
age bill a special order for March 81 or
%, though this date may possibly be
changed. The purpose is to give the
bill four days for consideration in the
house. Within this time the bill is to
be debated and brought to vote.
No order will be made fixing a time
at which vote shall be taken, at least
for the present. The fact that the order
only makes the silver bill a matter of
special privilege for limited period of
time would perhaps make it possible
Tor the antl-sllver men to prevent vote
by means of filibustering tactics. 1t
Is said, however, that if necessary, a
rule will be brought in to bring the
matter to vote. The rules committee
is reluctant to fix time at which vote
must be taken. 1t is thought by men,
bers of the committee that filibusterlng
will not be found to succeed, and that
The knowledge that rule will be
brought in, if necessary, in order to
check these tactics. will be sufficient to
prevent resort to this method of OBJ
struction.
1t is at present the purpose of Repre-
sentatiyes Cochran, of New York; An
drews and ONeill, of Massachusetts,
and other anti-silver men, to fight the
special order of the rules committee,
and endeavor to defeat it. While 1t is
the intention of the rules committee
to report the order on Monday, it
is not intended to call it up for adoption
by the house for some days. A large
number of members of congress were
in conference with the speaker during
the day and all gave their opinions on
the silver question. Senator Hill had

was coming, threatening to bolt If any
action contrary to his wishes was taken,
and herein lies the significance of the
Georgia contest and the row over
it in the convention hall when the
Livingston men found themselves in the
minority. They had, however, sprung
the row in the convention themselves
and without knowing it, had publicly
shown themselves without a constitu-
ency.
The next step of these fine workers,
who had so tar had matters their own
way, was to create such a third party
settlement of a public character as to
carry the anti-third party men forward
in the rush, and to prevent their
voices being heard. This they did by
fill keeping Weaver and Donnelly be-
fore the body as targets, while they
themselves. having secured appoint
ments as sergeantS-at-arms, circulated
among the delegates and, passing word
along to their true and tried men,
kept the sentiment on their side.
they had nearly reached the
consummation of their hopes when a
sudden movement by Powderly almost
caused stampede. On his motion an
adjournment for two hours was taken.
During this time the Willard minority
platform was hurriedly put in shape,
and when it reassembled it was pre-
scented.
eThen ensued the confusion described
In the dispatches of the day of the oc-
currence. In the midst of it all Weaver
himself lost his bearing, but righted
himself just in time to call halt by
demanding to know how his delegation
had voted him. The announcement
and his correction thereof in
full hearing of the convention
gave the cue. The third
party men pulled themselves together.
During few moments which all the
DELEGATIONS spent in consultation So
called sergeant-at-arms succeeded in
passing the word to his friends. Dom
nelly aided by his speech in smoothing
the tangle and in an instant the plas
form was passed with whoop. The
third party schemers had won. And so
the Spontaneous uprising" of the peo-
pie declared for independent political
action.

The Irish League President on His
Recent Appeal.

Recent Appeal.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 27.-M. Y. Can
non, president of the Irish League OF
America. was seen today with reference
to the apparent difference of opinion
between himself and Secretary Sutton,
on account of which the secretary has
forwarded his resignation.
ut is nothing but a misunderstand-
ing, not difference of opinion.I think"
said MIR. Cannon. II have written Sec
rotary Sutton that, rather than accept
his resignation, would resign myself,
and have authorized him to say to the
executive committee that my resigna-
ton will be rendered to the committee
at any time that it is desirable to have

factional quarrels. This matter has
begun over very trivial matter, and if
l nave made a mistake, it has

did, perhaps. This editorial was sent
to me by Treasurer Lyman, of New
OK, through MIR. Sutton. It points
out danger to the home rule cause from
the fact that many of the Irish men,
bers are poor men. and if parliament
should be dissolved and a sudden cleo
ton called, many of them would be
unable to deposit the statutory costs de-
manded of all who enter an election
contest in Ireland. These costs vary
from $1,000 for borough seat to So, 600
for county.
II was impressed with the force of

MERCER REPUDIATED.
Sensational Disclosures Disgust
His Friends.

MONTREAL, Can, Feb. 27.-The
latest revelations before the royal COM
mission go to show that over $4,000 had
been received at different times by Mer-
cier, Langier and Pacaud in addition to
such sums as heretofore disclosed. The
assistant treasurer of Quebec testified
to the payment of the sum of $50, 900 to
the Union bank as a subsidy to the
Hereford Railway company. The
money was paid to Pacaud at the bank
on four checks. Two checks for
$4,000 each were paid to Messrs. Mercier
and G. Langelier. This was apart from
anything connected with previous reye-
lations. 1t was also proved that out of
the Hereford railroad subsidy, Mercier
paid $1,000 toward the purchase price of
his summer residence at st. Anne de la
Perade. The revelations have caused a
sensation, and so great is the digust
against MERCER that several of his most
ardent supporters repudiate him, the
latest to do this being Arthur Boyer, a
former member of Mercier's cabinet. In
a speech delivered last evening, Premier
de Boucherville plainly limited at the
arrest of some of the members of the
MERCER government and its friends,

DEACON IN DANGER.
French Customs and Infiuenc,
Are Against Him.

Are Against Him.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Deacon trag-
edy calls attention to French ideas
which are not palatable to English
and Americans. Mr.. Deacon is now
said to be held in extreme
aversion for his act by the large major
ity of the upper society of France. One
reason is that NJ. Abeille, his victim,
was popular in the salons, and another
should have allowed his wife and NJ.
Abeille to go if he found Mrs. Deacon
cared for the latter, or else have shot
the two of them.
A dispatch from Cannes, it may be
added, says Mr.. Deacon may not have
such an easy acquittal as he expects.
The French code excuses the husband
for Staying if the parties are found in
fragrant guilt, and the whole question
will hinge on this issue. Mrs.
Deacon is prepared, apparently, to
testify that M. Abeille was
not guilty on the occasion, at least, when
he met his death. A Paris letter states
that in that city sympathy leans
strongly towards Abeiile, and that in
fluence is being brought to bear on the
authorities to treat DR.. Deacon with
proper severity.
Should it be shown, as intimated by
Mrs. Deacon, that her husband had con-
nived in any way at their relations, the
jury will find that the killing was not
juStifiable and recommend a term of
Imprisonment. The influence of every
cavalier seryiente in France is thrown
against the avenging husband. besides
there is the prejudice of nationality,
the French being extremely clannish IN
any issue between Frenchman and a
foreigner. The apparent frlendliness
of the judge d'Instruction and of the
jailers amounts to nothing. 1t is the
custom of a French examining magis-
trate to worm all that he can out Of
prisoner by appearing pleasant or other
wise, and the same is true of the police.
Mr.. Deacon's true friends feel very
anxious as to his prospects.
Mrs. Deacon, who yesterday under
went a searching examination before
the judge Construction at Grasse, was
today confronted with her husband be-
fore the judge, and was again examined
as to the details of her relations with
Abeille, who WoS shot and killed by Mr..
Deacon, who found him in Mrs.
Deacon's room at the Hotel Splendide
here. The examination lasted four
hours, and even then was not conclud-
ed. Mrs. Deacon placed herself at the
disposal of the authorities and she will
be examined again on Monday. After
the examination had been concluded
Mrs. Deacon returned to Cannes. Mr..
Deacon remains confident of favorable

The Seven" in Neck Vertebrse,

In a recent study of the anatomical
structure of the neck was struck with
the remarkable fact that men and ami
mails alike are almost invariably pro
vided with seven neck vertebre or seq.
ments. Man thus possesses this number
in common with the giraffe, whose ex.
traordinary elongation of neck is pro.
duced, not by the introduction of other
vertebra, but by the greater length of
the normal number-seven. The only
exceptions to this rule of seven are found
in two species of sloth, one of which has
six and the other nine vertebra, and in
the sirenia or "sea cow" a species of
whale, which IS also provided with a six
segmented elongation or extension of the
spinal column.
In view of the fact that the seven in
vades every department of life, is it any
wonder that the orientals have founded

The Handkerchief in Public.

1t was not until the reign of the En-
press Josephine in France that the
pocket handkerchief was tolerated at all
as an article for public use. No lady
would have dared use one in the pres
ence of others. Even the name was
carefully avoided in polite conversation.
An actor who would have ventured to
use one on the stage would have been
Kissed off the boards. 1t was only in
the beginning of the present century
that Mile. Duchesnois, famous actress,
dared to appear with handkerchief in
her hand. Having to speak of it in the
course of the play she could only sum-
mon courage to refer to it as eight
tissue"
A translation of one of Shakespeare's
plays by Alfred de Vigney was acted,
and the word was used for the first time
upon the stage, and provoked storm of
indignant Kisses from all parts of the
house.
The Empress Josephine, although real
ly beautiful woman, had very bad
teeth, and to conceal them she was in
the habit of carrying small handker-
chiefs. trimmed with costly laces, which
she raised gracefully to her lips to con-
ceal her teeth. The ladies of the court
followed her example, and handkerchiefs
rapidly became an important part of the
feminine toilet.-New York Herald.
