REDWINE STILL IN JAIL.
EFFORTS TO OBTAIN BAIL FOR HIM
UNSUCCESSFUL.

The Young Swells Who Knew Him In
His Palmy Days Not Anxious to Lend
Him Helping Hand Now-The Cash
ier's Downfall Not Due to an Esca-
pade With Woman.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 27.-Lewis Red
wine. the defaulting cashier of the Gate
City Bank, has not yet given bond. Efforts
were made by his attorneys to do SO to-day,
but now that he is in position to use them
the many young swels of wealth who last
week were so willing to make good his
shortage after he had fled are not SO ready
with their assistance. A statement by the
bank examiner will be made In day or
two. Usually there is a women or two in
such case as Redwine's, but diligent
search by the gossips have so far
failed to disclose any particular female
to whom the defaulting cashiers downfall
might have been even remotely due. He
seems to have been fond of women, but not
of any particular woman, though curiosity
has been created by the bouquet which was
sent him by an unknown friend the day OF
his capture.
A QUEER NOTE.
just after Redwine had left the police
station for the United States court where
he was taken to have his bond set, queer
communication was sent TO him. 1t was ex =
smined by the officers, but it was not deliv-
cred to him. It was written on a deposit
slip Of the Gate City National Bank anc
! on one side was inscribed, Therefore doth
my Father love me because l have lain
down my life that might take it up again. "
Below this is written, "John X, IT," On
the opposite side was written: "These
things command you, love one another. "
just below was the quotation, John XIV,
! IT," just who wrote this note is not known
1t was written in a slanting hand and no
| signature was attached that would give
any clew to the writer.
NO RECEIVER NEEDED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Controller Hep
| burn said this morning that as far as he was
advised there would be no need of the ap-
| pointment of a receiver for the Gate City

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-At the request
of the committee on ways and means. j. C.
Courts, clerk Of the House committee on
appropriations, has submitted to the com
mittee statement of the appropriations
exclusive Of miscellaneous matters, made
by the House this session. IL shows an ag-
gregate of S513, 1888 OS5, and this amount
has been increased to $519 ,273, AT by the
changes made In bills by the Senate. The
following is a statement of the appropria-
tions contained in the bills, according to
their present status:
AS Agreed Upon in Both Houses-Army
S24 ,225, ,639; Notifications, 81, $40, ,O55; Dis
triot Of Columbia, S5413,223 conference
reported agreed to, but not yet adopted.
AS Passed by the Senate-Diplomatic and
consular, $1,570045; military academy,

As Reported to the Seuate-Legislativ
$21, ,908, ,S28; navy, S22,0S2 1871; pension,
$lG6, ,53l, ,450 (passed the Senate to-day.

$3. .294, 300; Indian, $7,0S8,61 postoffice,
1904, ,3l4; general deficiency S2l, ,209, ,639.
A comparison between the appropriations
and estimates for the last five years shows
that contrary to what has been the gen
orally accepted opinion all the appropria-
tions have exceeded the estimates,
averaging 1850, 900 more per annum. The
reason for this Is found in the fact that APP
preparations have been made for the In
dians and for rivers and hsrbors which
were not included in the estimates. By an
amendment to the sundry civil bill it is
provided that in the future river and harb
W ork must be regularly estimated for.

Pope Leo Hopeful OF Seeing England
a Catholic Country soon.
ROME, Feb 27.-The pope bade courte-
GUS farewell to-day to the pilgrims from
England. His holiness said that he hoped
soon to see England once more a Catholic
country. The faithful, his holiness said,
ought to pray for the speedy contamination
of this hope, of which there were
already many signs. The pope
warmly commended the lofty spirit
of justice shown by the queen and parlia-
ment In granting 90 all Catholics Of her
majesty's vast empire complete freedom of
religion. The audience lasted for two hours
and was marked by much courtesy and
some pathos, the pope apparently hesitatIng
TO part with his devoted visitors. AT the
close OF the audience his holiness was borne
In a sedia gestatoria through the corridors
Of the vatican, in which the pilgrims ranged
themselves. The pontiff as he passed, held
out his hand the pilgrims kissing the ring.
The pope has appointed DR.. Laffoni his
body physician.
Considerable comment has been ocoa-
stoned In vatican circles by the fact that the
pope has received no jubilee oongratula-
tions from the Count of Paris.
The Rev. jesse Albert Locke, formerly
an Episcopal clergyman In New York city e,
who recently announced his conversion TO
the Roman Catholic church, has joined the
English pilgrimage TO this city, where be
will be received into the Church Of Rome.
Gen. Won Loe, the newly appointed Ger
man envoy to the vatican, accompanied by
two officers, was given an audience by the
pope to-day. Gen. Won Loe presented TO
his holiness the congratulations Of Emperor
William upon attaining his episcopal
jubilee and "a valuable topaz ring.

ssHEaMAN's SCHEME DOOMED.
The Sundry Civil Bill Sent to Con
ference Committee.

ference Committee.
WASHINGTON, Fob, e7.-The sundry civil
appropriation bill was sent to a conference
committee to-day, the House suspending the
rules and -conourring in all the Senate
amendments, including the Sherman bond
amendment almost unanimously, there
being only IA votes against it. This was
because it was understood that the Sherman
bond amendment would not come out alive
from the conference. All the Cleveland
men on the floor of the House having
learned Mr. Carlisle's desire in the matter,
quietly aoquiesced in this disposition of the
amendment Bourke Cochran Of New
York, who has been treated by some
as a spokesman for Mr.. Cleveland ON
financial questions, either had not heard
from MIR. Carlisle or would not take his ad-
vice, and therefore protested againsB the
action taken, but he stood practically alone.
With the sherman amendment out the suns
dry civil bill will so right through.
TWO VIEWS OF THE MATTER.
Bv the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Two views rela-
tive to the Sherman amendment obtain in
the Senate. The indications are, however,
that the Senate will renade from It's amend
ment in this particular aud that the result
OF the struggle will be that the sundry civil
bill will be passed without this amendment
attached to IL. There has been a quiet can
vass going ON for the past two
days and the opponents OF the
issue of bonds say that they
have ascertained that certain senators
voted for the proposition under q msap-
prehension, and will hall with delight any
means that will permit them to change the
record as 1t now stands. 1t is also said that
word has como from Mr.. Cleveland that he
would rather see the sundry civil bill law
than have it imperiled by the attempt to
force the bond question. No one in the
Senate. however, professed to speak for Mr..
Cleveland In this matter, and, indeed, those
who stand closest to him say that there is
no difference in the situation at
all. A well-known senator who
enjoys the confidence of the President
elect said to-day that there was no reason
why the bond amendment should not pre-
vail, and be relieved 1t would in the end,
for the reason that it was a clean cut bust
ness proposition that could result in moth
ing but a saving of expenditure to the
country at large. The administration
was in favor OF the amendment
in the event of any contingency that
made such an issue a necessity and the
friends of the administration, this senator
said, would resist any attempt to defeat the
amendment as passed by the Senate. The
indications seem to be, though, that a
material change of sentiment has been going
on in the Senate and that the amendment
will be receded from rather than that the
whole bill should be defeated.

A Flash of Triumph In His Eye as He

PARIS, Feb. 27.-The diplomatic and pub
lie galleries were crowded to-day when
Jules Ferry assumed the presidency OF the
Senate. The veteran statesman had a vig-
orous and masterful air and those near him

ing from these remarks, which evidently

of policy of conciliation and said with
emphasis that be would never be an in

WHISKY WAREHOUSES;.
Veasey Makes Suggestions in Refer
ence to the Laws.


ence to the Laws.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The whisky
trust investigation closed to-day. James
NJ. Veasey was recalled and concluded his
testimony. He reviewed the testimony
taken by the committee and said that there
being no vinous. malt or spirituous liquor
produced in this country which is IN any
alteration, permits by the govern
ment to make such changes should
not be issued. Let fruit brandies be
made in their respective districts from
fruit, rye whiskles from rye, and bourbon
whiskies from such grain as compose them ;
amend the internal revenue laws so as 90
abolish the issue OF rectiher's license TO
liquor dealers; make 1t a felony TO use oils
or essences or colorings in adulteratinR or
changing products, vinous, malt or spirit
uous LIQUORS produced in this country. AL
cohol is a really useful product, finding its
market almost exclusively in the arts and
sciences. The bonded period is OF no i'm
portance to producers Of IL. Fine whiskies,
owing TO the location In which they are
made. the manner In which they are
warehoused, the method OF dlstillation and
the quantity Of the product require, many
of them, at leagt five years to ripen and be-
come flt for use. At present, under the
bonded period law, whisky IS required to be
withdrawn from bond and the tax paid at
the expiration Of three years. Such of these
goods as are not ft for use are exported,
stored Ia foreign countries and returned
here when our markets will receive them.
This practice seems unwarranted, unfair
and unjust. Let the bonded period be made
five wears instead of three.
