Now that the truth is known con-
cerning President Cleveland's illness,
and the reason why he remained on
Mr.. Benedicts yacht four days with
out landing, early in the summer,
those papers which accused him OF
being on a debauch at that time
ought to feel very much ashamed OF
themselves. The whole country will
unite in sincere desire for his en-
tire recovery, as any misfortune hap
pening to him now, would indeed be
a public calamity.

The Democratic judiciary confer.
ence Of the Fayette- Greene district
has failed to agree. The Greene
county conferrees supported Judge In
ghram, while those from Fayette stood
by l.. S. Mestrezat. The last named
candidate proposed to submit the mat
ter to vote OF the Democrats of the
two counties, the expense of such
election to be paid by the candidates.
This was rejected by Judge Inghram
and his friends on the ground that the
conference was merely the creature of
the primaries in the two counties and
had no power to call new primaries.
The conference adjourned finally with
out result, and both candidates will
continue in the field. This means the
election Of the Republican candidate.

HAVOC AT SAVANNAH.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 30-The list OF
fatalities is gradually growing, and it Is
impossible TO tell to what extent it will
reach. Several bodies Of drowned persons
have been picked up and search is now
being made for others who are missing.
Every hour seems to bring some new story
Of death as a result Of the storm.
The drowning Of Mr.. A. G. U!mer, as
sistant cashier Of the Central Railroad
Bank, was one OF the most unfortunate
disasters Of the storm. Mr. Ulmer owns
n farm on Hutchinson Island, opposite the

and attend TO other duties There were
bruises on his face and it is supposed that
he struck against an outshed when he
jumped from his barn as it was about to
blow down. Miller, his dairyman, has
not been found and it is supposed that he
was also drowned
Other fatalities 50 far reported include
l6 colored men. Two unknown sailors
were drowned at Tybee Island.
Forty to fifty other perons are reported
missing, and it is supposed, as nothing has
been heard from them, that their bodies
will be found later. Twelve barks and
barkentines, which were anchored at
Quarantine Station were blown high and
dry upon the marsh and some of them
were carried by the storm across the
marshes on an island two miles distant
from the station.
The tug Paulsen brought about 60 pas
sengers from Tybee. Mr.. Revers, one OF
them, stated that four negroes, engaged in
clearing the railroad tracks were drowned
A sailor and the cabin boy on the
schooner Harold, which is on her side on
North Beach, are drowned.
1t is reported that eight Of the crew of
terrapin sloop which went ashore on the
south end were drowned.
The water swept with tremendous force
over part Of the island, railroad tracks
being carried from 200 to 500 feet The
Chatham club house is badly damaged.
The trains on all roads are coming irregu-
larly and some have entirely stopped to
repair washouts. The church steeples are
demolished and at least 500 large trees
were blown down.
More than 30 wrecks have been reported
so far.
Fifteen vessels in the Tybee were wrecked
or badly damaged

CARLISLE TALKS.
NO ACTUAL SCARCITY OF MONEY.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-All the
members of the administration took
the greatest interest in the votes on
the Wilson bill-Secretary Carlisle es.
pecially SO. He received in his Office
in the treasury department the official
announcement of the several votes as
soon as they were flashed across the
wires. When the first vote was re
ceived, which showed that free coinage
al the rate Of sixteen to one was beat
en- by Io2 majority, he said the ma
jority was greater than he had antici-
patcd and that he would have been
satisfied with sixty majority.
At the conclusion of all the votes
Secretary Carlisle stated to a United
Press reporter that he was very much
gratifed at the result and felt that 1t
would do much to restore public con-
fidence. He expressed the hope that
the senate would take speedy action
on the silver question.
In the course Of a conversation Sec
ACldi SdiIlSIC was dSkGI- II The present
stringency was due to lack of money.
He refuted the idea and among other
things said: "No greater mistake
could be committed than to assume
that the present financial embarrass-
ment is caused by an actual scarcity
OF money in the country.
The fact is that the amount of cur
rency Of all kinds in the country out
side of the United States treasury on
the a5th day of the present month
was $58,45a,35o greater than the
amount outstanding on the first day of
the month and $7o,a9A783 more than
the amount outstanding on the first
day Of September, 1892, when business
was active and prosperous. There is
money enough to transact all the legi-
innate business OF the people, but the
difficulty is that it has been withdrawn
from circulation and boarded. The
true remedy is to restore confidence
and credit, and thus put the money
now in the country In circulation
again"

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. I8

No surprise was felt by anybody
when the House passed the bill for
the unconditional repeal Of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman silver
law. So nearly all of the members
had announced in advance how they
would vote that the result was a fore
gone conclusion days ago. The man
who accepts this action Of the House
as an indication that majority of its
members oppose silver as money
makes a mistake. 1t indicates nothing
OF the kind. On the contrary, an
overwhelming majority Of the House
iavors blmetalism, as will be shown by
future legislation. Those who voted
for repeal did SO because they agreed
with President Cleveland in believing
that the purchase of silver bullion by
the government was the main cause of
the country's financial troubles and
that it ought to be stopped, if for no
other reason, because the business
sentiment of the country is so strongly
opposed to it.
Although the Wilson repeal bill will
now go to the Senate it is not probable
that it will be acted upon, because the
VoIhees repeal bill, with the clause
declaring Bimetalism to be the policy
of the United States, is already before
the Senate, and is more preferable to
the democratic leaders in the Senate.
Although the opponents Of uncondi-
tional repeal still maintain bold
front in the Senate, since the great
silver speeches of Senators Vorhees
and Hill, last week, both of whom
took strong ground in favor of repeal,
the sentiment in favor of repeal has
been steadily growing, and it is now
the general opinion that a majority of
the Senate will vote for repeal when
the bill can be voted upon, but when
that will be no man can safely pre-.
dict, certainly not until after there

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 4.-The bloodiest
fight in Magoffin county's history took
place yesterday about one mile from Sal

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 4.--William Whalen was
arrested here yesterday charged with per-
petrating a stupeGdous mining fraud.
In 1889 Whalen, who was the reputed
owner Of st. Peter mine In the Antelope
district, came to this city and by the aid
OF smooth tongue and apparently good
references, succeeded in placing among
107 persons nearly 1900 shares OF stock in
lots ranging from 500 shares downward.
He landed In his net men of all creeds
and pursuits, among them DIR. f. j. Lutz,
Father M. +. Brennan Of st. Lawrence
O'Toole's Church, Father Dillon and DIR.
Engeledge.
To keep up appearances until he had
sucked the town dry Whalen has paid
out $85, 900 as dividends on the stock sold.
At length suspicion was aroused and one
stockholder had Whalen arrested, but a
compromise was reached and Whalen left
town before others could get hold Of him.
The stock fell fat and OF a holding OF q
face value of $3.50, 900, the stockholders had
left only the printed certificates.
Some got out with few dollars, among
them DIR. Lutz, who saved S75 from an in
vestment of $1,000. A day or two ago
Whalen returned to the city and Lutz
caused his arrest. II Is understood that
Whalen netted about $500 900 in the deal.

An Oficial Statement Issued by the Gu

LONDON, Jan. 4.--The Cunard Company
has issued an official statement OF the Gal
liza Umbria incident. In this statement
Captain Ferguson OF the Gallia says that
when his steamer approached the Umbria
he saw a steamer lying in proximity to
her blowing off steam. The Umbria was
lying like a duck In the water and formed
q perfect picture Of security, while the
Gallia was rolling heavily.
On reading the signal "shaft broken"
Captain Ferguson consulted with his chief
engineer. The latter officer, knowing of
the appliances on board the Umbria, and
being Intimately acquainted with Chief
Engineer Tomlinson, as was also Captain
Ferguson himself, the latter having sailed
with Chief Tomlinson in the Mediterra-
mean service, was satisfied from the next
signal 'sready TO proceed tomorrow" that
the Umbria was in no danger whatever,
and there were some weeks more provis-
ions aboard for all the passengers and
crew.
Captain Ferguson, the report continues,
had TO consider his own position. With
the prospect of easterly weather leaving
him an insufficient margin in his coal
supply, should he, 1t asks, have expended
q considerable portion of his fuel in
standing by the Umbria for one and pos
sibly two days7

SPREAD OF BRIGANDAGE.
Residences OF Wealthy People Attacked
at Warsaw--Troops Called Out.


VIENNA, Jan. 4.-The authorities at
Warsaw are excited over the spread OF
brigandsge in Russian Poland. The prov
fnoe of Radon, adjoining Austrian Cali
cia has recently been infested by band
of 20 brigands, led by notorious robber
chief named Julian Voyte. These robbers
grew SO bold that they attacked the resi-
dence OF wealthy land owner named
Vetchkorovitch, who had refused To pay
them blackmail.
They slaughtered the live stock found
on the place, and after plundering the
house, set II on fire. Netchkorovitch
himself succeeded in escaping from the
house, and took refuge on the roof OF
stable, where he remained unnoticed by
the robbers. Some of the employees car
ried word of the outrage to the authori-
ties, and on the following day force OF
troops went in pursuit OF the brigands,
who made slow progress on account OF
being loaded with plunder.
The troops overlook the robbers in
forest, when sharp fight occurred. The
robbers made a fierce resistance, and
wounded several of the soldiers, but the
bandits were at length subdued and taken
prisoners. The troops then made their
way to the abode of Voyte, the robber
leader. There they found large quanti
ty of stolen wealth, the place also being
fitted mp in q rich and -PFefuse sfyle. In
the cellar of Voyte's house a peasant was
found, whom the robber chief was hold
