alternate, and B. Morris, of the 9TH
Virginia district.
1t is stated at the Interior
Department to-day that the new
rule prohibiting the appointment OF
physicians over thirty-fve years of age
as pension examiners will be disregard
ed when deemed advisable.
1t is reported to-day that MIR. Fen
tress of Portsmouth will be appointed
Assistant q. Stationery fer the eastern
district of Virginia.
Mr.. ]. E. Mason of King George
county, Virginia, delivered very in
teresting lecture on his ances' o., hon a;
Jefferson, before the Society of the
Daughters of the Revolution at the
Richmond Hotel here last night. His
audience was composed of two hundred
ladies and six men.
Three Virginians were spoken OF IN
connection with new court of appeals
of this city, but the name of neither ap-
peared when those of the nomi-
nees for that court were sent to the
Senate to-day. Half an hour before, a
distinguished congressman, generally
supposed to be on close terms of famil-
lar friendship with the President, init
mated to the GAzETTE's correspondent
that the name of Judge Keith would be
sent in, and similar intimation was
given Yesterday by another of the ia
miliars at the White House. Ofall UNI
certain things Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nees are the most uncertain.
The rumor is revived that the hearts
of the President and ex-Secretary Whit
ney no longer beat as one, and that the
cause of the estrangement is double
headed, Mr.. Whitney being angry be-
cause the promises he made prior to
the election, and by which solid dem
ocratic vote in New York was secured,
have not been fulfilled, and the Presi-
dent, because Mr.. Whitney receives the
credit of being his Warwick.
The fact that Mr. Otey Of Lynchburg,
who withdrew from the contest for the
internal revenue collectorship of the
upper district of Virginia in favor of
Mr.. Shepperd, filed his application for
that place yesterday, induces many peo-
pie here to think that he has received re-
liable information to the effect that MIR.
Shepherd will be made victim of the
anti ex rule.

that he will find an educated, warm
hearted, hospitable, progressive peo-
pie, among whom he can live in amity
and peace without regard to his lelig.
ion, his politics or his nativitys
Churches and school-houses are every
where. Although these facilities for
worship and education are already es-
tablished upon q most liberal scale,
they are constantly and rapidly in
creasng. The social, moral and re-
ligious life of the people of these States
is upon nigh plane. To the capital
list these States offer especial induce
ments for investments. The laws are
favorable to the investor, and public or
der and private rights are firmly up
held and maintained. Nowhere in the
world are there such golden opportuni-
ties for investment in the mining and
manufacturing enterprises. Fuel, wa
ter, wood, metal, cane, cotton, tobacco,
hemp, fax-all here together-one
waiting to serve the other, almost,
without the cost of transportation.
The South is bounding forward now. 1t
is the field in which the immediate tu-
ture will unfold the most marvellous
development of the century. Here,
new homes are to grow like spring
flowers coming up out of the winter OF
our discontent,' and are to multiply
with increasing rapidity as the years
90 by. Here capital is to find its most
tempting and profitable field for invest
ment. The Governors of the States
named, in behalf OF their several con-
stituencies, extend cordial and press
ing invitation to home-seekers, farm
crs, mechanic, miner, workman to come
and cast their fortunes with the South,
as they do also similar invitation to
capitalists, whether in the United
States or elsewhere, to examine our re-
sources and to aid us in their develop
ment to the end that they may par
ticipate in our prosperity. With a
view to setting forth the resources OF
the several States more in detail, it is
proposed that the Governors Of the
States here represented prepare brief
address showing the peculiar and
special advantage of their respective
States, to be published with this ad-
dress for general distribution"
Last right the governors and the rep
resentatives from the southern States
who had been attending the convention
were handsome entertained at the
Wcstmoreland Club.

From Hawaii.

At Honolulu on April l, in the pre-
sence of crowd numbering probably
1000 persons, the United States flag.
which for two months had hoated from
the government building, was hauled
down and was replaced by the colors
of the Hawaiian monarchy, which still
remains the flag Of the island, and the
remaining forces from the U. 5. cruiser
Boston, were sent on board.
1t was on the afternoon of March 81
that Commissioner Blount held q
lengthy conference with President Dole
and the ministry, at which he notified
them of his intention to declare OIL the
protectorate established by Minister
Stevens Feb. /. 1t is understood that
he gave az his reason therefor that the
Washington administration did not re-,
gard the protectorate as necessary ana
further that 1t was incompatible with
any diplomatic negotiations that might
be arranged between the two countries:
The United States, however, would
brook no hostile interference in Ha-
waiian affairs by any foreign power.
The provisional government somewhat
reluctantly acquiesed in the commits
sioner's decision. The hauling down of
the U. S. flag and the restoration of the
Hawaiian emblem, though causing ex-
element, was accompanied by no spe-
cial incident.
The royalists, in view of Mr.. Blount's
first official act, which was unaccompa-
MED by any word or explanation, are
greatly encouraged. 1t is known that
Minister Stevens was not informed OF
the commissioners intention to lower
the flag, and the provisional govern
ment had less than "a hours notice.
Mr.. Blount on April 9 had confer
ence with the provisional leaders, at
which he assured them that neither
Japan nor any other power would be
permitted to land troops to menace the
government.

THE CYCLoSEs.-The cyclonic storms
In the western and southern States dur
ing the last three days have been re-
markable for the wide area covered in
their destructive sweep, and the great
loss to life and property in all sections.
1t is roughly estimated that nearly a
hundred people have been killed, sew
eral hundreds of people injured, and
property destroyed to the extent of a
million dollars. a dozen or more towns
have been partially or wholly destroy
cd. The general havoc wrought by
the terrific storms on Tuesday was in
creased by cyclones on Wednesday
night in Mississippi and Michigan. A
town in each of these States was swept
away. The fall details of the damage
done in other sections have not yet
been received, owing to the prostration
of the telegraph wires. Reports from
the northwestern portion Of Missouri
are to the effect that thirty-one persons
were killed and about sixty Injured by
the storm Tuesday evening. Much
damage to property is reportedin Mich
igan and South Dakota.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
Foreign News.


BELGRADE, Apl. IA bloodless coup
d etat was effected here last night and
King Alexander I, the youthful ruler
of Seryia, to-day rules in his own
name. For many months past the sit.
uation in Servia has been critical, ow-
ing TO the abuse of their power by the
regents and State officials. Affairs had
become so bad that the King deter.
mined to take the reins in his own
hands, and with this object in
view the regents and ministers
were invited to attend q ban
quet. At midnight, while the fes-
tivities were still in progress, King Al
e1ander proclaimed that he had attain
ed his majority and had assumed the
government ofthe country. When the
deposed regents and ministers heard
the proclamation they were dumb
founed. The king and his advisors
acted with great promitude, and soldiers
who were in waiting, at once placed the
regents and ministers under arrest.
The King afterwards proceeded to the
barracks, where the troops were under
arms, and was received with joyous &C.
carnations and many expressions of
loyalty. The regents have been de-
posed, the cabinet dismissed and a new
ministry appointed.
VIENNA, Apl. IA fire in Vesz-
prim, Hungary, having population of
about twelve thousand, has destroyed
al houses, and done damage to
property to the extent of half a million
horins. One thousand persons are
homeless.
HARTLEPooL, Apl. 1.-THE dock
laborers at this port have resolved to
support the striking dock laborers of
Hull in their demands, and will there
fore refuse to unload any vessels while
the strike is pending.
BERLIN, Apl. LITER AhlWarut,
the notorious Jew-baiter, announced
that to-day he would present
the documents which he recently
promised to produce, duplicating high
German officials and ex-oflicials in al
legged corrupt conduct. In the Reich
stag to-day Ahlwardt took the first OPP
portunity to present copy ofthe state
ment, which he said he wished TO
make. The president scanned the
statement and handed it back to ALL
wardt, at the same time announcing,
amid general laughter, that the house
would proceed to the ordinary business.
It is understood that Ahlwardt with
drew the documents of which he had
spoken. Subsequently Ahlawardt offer
Q to present the documents if q special
committee should be appointed to ex-
anime them.

IT APPEARS that the recent strike at
the Chicago fair grounds was not for
shorter hours or for higher wages, but
to force the employers to discharge
workmen who were not members OF Ia
Dor organizations. In other words, it
was a strike of labor against labor, OF
workmen against workmen, OF poor peo-
pie against poor people. 1t failed, OF
scourse, for this is, as yet, a free coun-
try, and the common sense and natural
feeling of its citizens are opposed to any
such foolish cruelty. There is no law
compelling workmen to join unions and
be assessed to support the officers OF
those unions in lazy luxury, nor could
there be under any form ofgovernment
that might pretend to be free and equal,
and, until there shall be, a poor man
who does not belong to union has as
much right to work for the support of
his wife and children as those who i'm
agine themselves rich enough to belong

IT Is reported that the new commits
sioner of pensions has said that every
man who was in the Union army should
have pension. If this report be true,
the President, in removing Mr.. Raum
and appointing Mr.. Lochren, has evil
IDENTIFY snapped the devil for witch.
But what's the difference? People
who will patiently submit to the ex-
actions of billion dollar congresses, will
surrender twice that amount on de-
mand. As the people are being plumb
cred. South as well as North, and as
plunderers are reckless, there seems to
be no reason why the ex-Johnnies
should not have share of the swag,
especially as their representatives help
to legalize the footing.

If THE Senate can try Mr.. Roach for
an ailegedofence committed manyyears
before he was elected, it can convict
and expel him. It can, therefore, put
its heel upon the neck OF States, and
crush the life out of States rights, and
destroy the very pillars upon which the
government was founded and, should
occasion require it, bare majority OF
its members could expel enough of the
minority to increase their majority to
2wo-thirds, in order to overcome q
Presidents veto.

A
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL IA, 1898.

EVERY CITIZEN Of this country has
the right to apply for an office, but un-
der existing circumstances he is COM
PEELED to ask his representative in Con-
gress to present his application, and the
representative can hardly refuse the re-
quest, disagreeable as it may be. In
presenting one Of these applications to
a District commissioner in Washington
q day or two ago, the democratic con-
gresham from this district requested
the appointment of democratic con-
stituent to place now filled by an ac-
tive republican partisan who, lie SAID
''must" be removed, doubtless meaning
that the mans pernicious partisanism
came within the scope of the civil ser
vice law, and also that his gross public
assault upon the private character OF
the President demanded his removal.
For doing so the Washington Star says
she insulted not only the commissioner
but the President, that he will not be
allowed to come there and bulldoze
crack a slave-driver's whip about the
ears of the commissioners, and that the
President will surely protect the COM
missioners against the threats and in
suits of individual congressman" Well,
no matter what the President may do
or not do, Mr.. Meredith's course in the
case referred to is approved by the DEM
ocrats who elected him and whose votes
helped to elect Mr.. Cleveland, and the
adverse criticism it receives from repub-
lican newspapers is probably more
agreeable to him than otherwise.

THE REQUEST of the southern gov
ernors that in his foreign appointments
the President will award to the South
a larger share of the representation, es-
pecially in those foreign ports from
which most of the immigration and
capital come, than has heretofore been
permitted, to the end that the mind
of mankind be disabused Of the false
impressions of the South which have
been so sedulously, so Systematically
and so injuriously spread abroad
throughout the civilized world, is a
modest one, and should be granted.

WAS JUDGE SPEER BRIBED PIN the
U. S. Circuit Court at Savannah on
Wednesday Henry Crawford, attorney
for Richmond Terminal, made violent
personal attack on Judge Speer. AT
one time Judge Pardee directed Mr..
Crawford to confine his criticism to the
judicial actions of Judge Speer, and Mr..
Crawford's words then astounded the
large audience. He insinuated that
Judge Speer had approved the plan OF
reorganization in advance Of its publ.
cation, and had lent the committee the
powerful assistance of his court to COM
pei dissenting security holders to accept
the plan. The Court, he said, had en-
tered into an "ante-nuptial contract"
with bankers, the dowry being large
sum to carry on the campaign against
dissenting security holders.
''Ifa English chancellor had been
guilty of such bold usurpatiop," said
Mr.. Crawford, Westminster would be
shaken from turret to cornerstone"
These alleged judicial stretches of pow
er he denounced as q public scandal,
and called on Judge Pardee to relieve
the judiciary of reproach. "The Dis
trict Judge" said Mr.. Crawford, refer
ing to Judge Speer," has been guilty
of judicial usurpation and misdemean-
or"
The boldness of this attack on Speer,
coupled with the attack on reorgani.
cation committee, caused a sensation
among the lawyers and fnanciers who
crowded the court room. Judge Par
dee reserved his decision. Judge Speer
is expected to take some decisive action
when the matter reaches him, and
further sensational developments are
expected,

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., APP,

The subject of the proposed investi-
CATION of Senator Roach, of North Da-
kota, was precipitated on the Senate at
the very opening of to-day's proceed
ings by Mr. Roach himself He rose
and referring to Mr.. Hoar's resolution
for an investigation said that he was
perfectly willing that the investigation
should be proceeded with. 1t had been
his desire and purpose at first to ask
such an investigation, but he had yield
ed to the advice of older Senators, IA
miliar Gas he was not with the customs
and precedents Of the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar inquired whether the DEM
ocratic Senators would permit his reso-
luton to be agreed to by unanimous
consent.
Mr.. Vance, chairman of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, to whom
the inquiry was specially directed, said
that he could not speak for the other
Senators, but that so far as he was con-
cerned he would make no objection.
Mr.. George, however, said that he
would not be party to any such agree
ment, and he denied absolutely the
power of the Senate under any circum-
stances to institute and conduct an in
vestigation in reference to the conduct
of a Senator, which conduct had trans
PRED prior to his election and had no
connection with his election. And he
also denied absolutely that any consent
on the part Of the Senator whose con,
duct was proposed to be investigated
would give jurisdiction to the Senate.
Mr.. George made constitutional and
legal argument in support of his posi-
ton.
At the close Of Mr.. Georges argu
ment Mr.. German gave notice of q SUBJ
stitutc which he would offer for Mr..
Hoar's resolution. The substitute di-
reefs the committee on privileges and
elections to inquire into and consider
the question whether the Senate has
authority or jurisdiction to investigate
charges made against q Senator as to
conduct or offences occurring or COM
mitted prior to his election, not relat-
ing to his duty as Senator or affecting
the integrity of his election.
Mr.. Chandler then addressed the Sen
ate in support of the Hoar resolution.
In the course of Mr. Chandlel's argu.
ment he yielded on several occasions.
One was to have action taken on the
resolutions for an investigation of the
claim of Mr.. Ady as a Senator from
Kansas and for visit to the territories
of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and
Oklahoma, to ascertain their fitness for
admission as States. Both the resolu-
tons were agreed to without objection.
