vile, Tenn.

X. Hurtt arrived from Huntsville.

state, with requisition for Mike Cham
bers, the young man now in jail here and
who is wanted in Tennessee for trial for
murder.
Chambers confession of his guilt was
published yesterday morning in the REC
ORD MON, and it agrees substantially
with the statement of the circumstances
made by MIR. Eurtt, so far as it goes.
Chambers simply says, however, that he
killed Fred telterman because the latter
shot his two bloodhounds, while Hurts
story Is as follows:
Chambers and young Fetterman both
belong to good families, who live about a
mile apart. The latter was employed in
his iatAer's factory, where bowls and
other articles of woodenware are made.
one day lie informed mis- father that a
Dog had been destroying their chickens,
ana was told TO shoot the dog If again
seen about The premises. The mound re-
turned soon atterWard and young retter-
man shot and wounded it, but il rot
away.
About a week after this occurrence
Chambers Sbouldered his rifle and Went
over to Fetterman's factory, arriving
lneie II leW minutes before the noon hour,
Z ana seated himself on It log by The door.
" Een the whistle blew for - O'Clock.
Fred tetternan walked out of ;tle door

MI. HURT states that there were two
or three witnesses to the shooting. and
that they All agree except as to the exact
words OF fettermau in refusing to nav
the ten dollars demanded. He SAYS that
( Chambers relatives are prominent peo-
pie there, ana Will make every effort TO

deavor 10 prove that teIterman's actions
warranted The belief that he was making
for The factory to get his pistol when
Chambers shot hlnl.
The officer (who is Clerk of the Circuit

tomorrow with his prisoner, and SAYS he
is going to land him there safely if lie has

American ChauyinIsln.

To be irratiOnally hopeful and buoyant.
to have an overwhelming estimate OF
ones value and importance, is the pre-
rogative of the young. But the United
States have now passed their national
first youth, and have reached period
where their needs, condition and status
as a people should be plainly understood.
1t is, nevertheless, fact that the Aneri-
can people are inflated with a national
vanity which creates among them a mis-
conception of their country's relative
value. Patriotism is distinctly differ
ent sentiment. The mistake is made OF
attributing to personal and natural great
ness those wonderful resources at the
command of industry, intelligence and
terprise-resources vastly varied, from
which flows large prosperity; for energy,
foresight and enterprise are distinctively
American traits. This accumulation OF
wealth, which is the cause and criterion
of civilization, is not due to exceptional
merit or genius on the part of the people.

CHINESE RESTRICTIVE ACT.
An Opinion Rendered by Assistant
Secretnry SpnuIding.

An Opinion Rendered by Assistant
secretary SliauIding.
WASHINGTON, March 80. - Assistant
Secretary Spaulding has written the fol-
lowing letter to Collectors on the Pacific
Coast:
The department is informed that the
practice remains among Chinese labor
ers in this country Of intrusting money
to merchants who are treated as part of
the capital OF business. The Chinese
Iaborers who made such disposition of
their savings, although not actively en-
gagged i'll the mercantile business,
claimed to be merchants and thereby on
titled to leave the country and return.
The department desires you TO closely
scruunize certificates when they are pre-
sented ~ your port by returning Chi
nese, to require evidence of the standing
of the holders as bona fide merchants
actually engaged il business. In 10 case
should Chinese be permitted to enter as
merchants unless their right to the priv
ilege is clearly established, AID where
it appears that the practice herein re-
ferred to is attempted, the certificates
presents should be ignored, the holders
arrested and the facts reported 10 the de-
parLment.

cent cruiser was given to the Union Iron
Works she was christened the San Fran

ers had had very little experience in war
vessels. and one result of this was to fin
ish the quarters like a passenger steamer,
so that their elegance and comfort are
often remarked, and every one who has
served on the Charleston or san Fran

GREED FOR OFFICE.
No Letting Up in the Callers Upon the
President.


WAsHINGToN, March 30.-There were
no signs of letting up in the rash of
oflice-seekers at the White House to-day.
They came early and stayed late, and
some of them would have stayed later il
the opportunity had presented. "But.
Mr.. President, what are you going to do
with the states Congressional deiega-
tions are fixing up about the distribution
Of local patroAage?'' Il ami going to
smash them" This is question re-
ported to have been put to the President
by Congressman and the reply of the
President. TO make the matter little
clearer, the Congressman learned that,
while an agreement of the delegation
upon local offices may have weight, the
President will not be bound by it. So
plain has this policy Of the President be-
come that the Alabama delegation has
decided 10 abandon its slate as heretofore
agreed upon. This lead will be followed
by other delegations, with the result that
probably the contest for office will be-
come free-for-all race, aud each candi-
dates will run on his merits, This will
probably be satisfactory to many Con-
gressmen, for it will relieve them of con-
siderable responsibility.

Court of st. James.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The Presi-
dent has sent the Senate the following
nominations:
j. D. Porter of Tennessee, Minister to
Chile.
j. a. Mckenzie of Kentucky, Minister
TO Peru.
Lewis Baker of Minnesota, Minister to
Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Salvador.
L. NJ. Young of Georgia, Minister to
Guatemala and Honduras.
Edwin Dun of Ohio, Minister to Japan.
J. 1. Hill OF Georgia. Assistant Attor-
ney-General.
Thomas f. Bayard of Delaware, En-
bassador Extraordinary and Plenipo-
tentiary to Great Britain.
On the list of nominations to-day the
first in distinction, in his long public
service and diplomatic experience, is
Thomas +. Bayard, and by unanimous
opinion it is declared fitting that he
should be first of the ambassadors ere
ated by the last Congress.
Lewis Baker is the well-known editor of
the st. Paul Globe. He was Chairman OF
the State Democratic Committee during
the last campaign, and has always been a
warm supporter of President Cleveland.
His only previous political office was that
of Presiding Officer of the West Virginia
Senate in 1870, which at that time was
Republican.
James 4. Mckenzie of Kentucky repre-
scented that State in the Forty-seventh
Congress. At the Chicago Convention
he broke away from Henry Watterson's
lead and by timely funny speech car
ried number of his fellow-delegates
from Kentucky over TO Cleveland.
James d. Porter. who is to succeed
Patrick Egan at Chile, is a prominent
Tennessee lawyer, and under the pre-
vious Democratic Administration was
Assistant Secretary of State, and from
1874 to 1879 was Governor of Tennessee.
Pierce NJ. B. Young was Major General
of cavalry in the Confederate Army. He
was educated at West Point. Under Mr..
Cleveland's former Administration he
was sent to st. Petersburg as Consul
General, which position he soon resigned
and came home
Edwin Dun, nominated Minister to
Japan, is a citizen of London. Ohio, and
member of the present japanese Lega-
ton. His nomination is in the nature OF
promotion, for he is hold-over from the
previous Democratic Administration,

there was no one else to take them. There
finally fell on me the literary work of the

on which the college depended for a
creditable display at commencement.
