HOWELL BOUND TO Be INIT.
Bad Blood Stirred Up by a Political
Sensation.

A Claim That the Captain Promised
Not to Oppose Endorsement of Presi-
dent Cleveland's Administration if
Made One of the Evans Delegates.
Now the Charge is Made That BE In
tends to Get Slap at the Admins
tration Through the Platform.
Atlanta, Ga, May GA political SEN
sation that has already stirred up great
deal of bad blood, and which is very likely
to cause trouble in the state convention,
was sprung to-day through the announce
ment of a ticket of delegates to be voted
for at Saturdays primary by the Evans
campaign committee.
Yesterday some of Gen. Evans friends
got together and made up ticket which
was headed by Chairman J. T. P. Rice, of
the campaign committee, and sanctioned
by him. This ticket was solid for the
Cleveland administration, and was COM
posed of twelve of the most prominent
men of the city. In order to avoid
complications both newspapers were ig-
nored on the ticket, though both had ex-
pressed desire to be represented. The
Journal, it appears was satisfied, how
ever, inasmush as the delegation was
solid for Endorsement of the administra-
tion, but as to-day's developments proved,
the Constitution was not at all pleased
and Immediately set about to get out an
other ticket. In this, the management of
the paper succeeded to-day, and the an
nouncement of the new ticket is the
cause of all the trouble Five of the first
men on the first ticket, Col N. j. Ham
moRd, G. p. Chamberlain, r. D. Spald-
ing, T. B. Neal and Thomas H. Corrigan
were dropped and Capt. E. p. Howell,
H. H. Cabiness and three others were put
in their places.
CAPT. HowELL's SCHEME.
The report that is going the rounds, and
which has been verified by the MORNING
News correspondent is that in order to
get on the new ticket, Capt. Howell of
the Constitution. pledged himself not to
oppose any Endorsement of the admins
tration, but to fall in line with such
resolution when it shall be introduced in
the convention. While Capt Howell and
his paper will not oppose Endorsement of
the administration in the convention, il
is claimed by the throughout Cleveland
element, that his plan is to make the
fight on the administration in the plat
form after securing place on the plat
form committee.
The complexion of Fulton county's dele
cation to the convention has been causing
trouble for several weeks back, quiet
but determined fight being made on the
Howells all the while. Capt. Howell s
agreement not to precipitate a fight on
the Endorsement of President Cleveland
if given a place on the ticket to-day, was
thought to have settled everything
honestly, but the circulation of the report
that the platform is to be made the
vehicle in which the anti-administration
factions propose to slur the President has
caused so much feeling that some of the
Cleveland men on the ticket threaten to
withdraw.

The Fighting Power of the Grey
hounds Not to Be Curtailed.
Washington, May 29,-The naval sta
bility board was in session to-day consid-
ering the alleged crankiness of the war
ships. Capt. Brownson, of the Detroit,
which was one of the vessels upon which
the board some months ago recommended
changes, and Capt. Davis, of the Detroits
sistership. the Montgomery, were in CON
sultation with the board. Capt Brown
son showed that the DetrOit's steadiness
had been severely tested on her cruise to
Rio and back, and he protested against the
removal of her heavy battery, which had
been decided upon. He declared that it
would, in his opinion, be shame to cur
tail the fighting power of the ship. 1t
was the Detroit that fred the first gun at
a foreign vessel since the civil war The
board nnallY determined to recede from
its recommendation to use 4-inch guns
on the Marblehead, Montgomery
and Detroit, and to equip those
vessels with rifles of 5-inch
calibre. There are enough five-inch guns
on hand to fit out these three vessels at
once, while four-inch guns would have to
be made. This decision will result in the
immediate equipment of these vessels,
which are now at Norfolk, and will enable
the Marblehead TO 20 to sea as soon as
her battery can be placed. 1t is thought
the Marblehead can leave for Bluefields
next week

that such a conspiracy did exist, and
they took steps to guard their homes. In

One of those to leave was Burgis, who
had suggested the outrages upon

aoRMAN A VERY SICK MAN.
A Complication of Ailments and Over
work Frustrated Him.

Washington, May Ex-senator German
has not been in his seat in the Senate
since the day he delivered his recent
speech upon the tariff bill. It was
known that he was indisposed, q,
but each day the announcement was
made that rest was all he needed
To-day, however, the senator's brother
is quoted as saying that Senator German
is a very sick man. Overwork, he says,
is the cause of Mr.. German s illness. In
addition to the neuralgia, with whish he
has been suffering for several years, he
has suffered from some trouble with his
kidneys He is also said to be subject to
fits OF nervousness, which have brought
on frequent attacks of insomnia, which
latter have also been aggravated
by his old enemy, neuralgi gia,
In addition TO the above causes, ever
since the inauguration of Mr.. Cleveland
last year, Senator German has been be-
sieged at all hours by crowds of Office
seekers, who have literally worn him out.
That ne is very sick man is admitted by
all his closest friends. From time to time
he has consulted specialists, who have as
sured him that he must have rest, or he
would break down.

BLACK ON THE BANK TAX.
The Member from Georgia Speaks in
Favor of Repeal.


Washington, May 29.-To-morrow be-
ing Decoration day, Mr. Catchings, at
the opening Of the session today moved
that when the House adjourn it be until
Thursday at noon. This was agreed to.
The committee having been called for
reports the House went into committee
of the whole with Mr. Richardson, dem.
Of Tennessee. in the chair, on the 10 per
cent. tax bill.
The first speaker was MIR Cox, dem, Of
Tennessee who was permitted to speak
without limit. He favored the repeal of
the law. AT 2:8O o'clock Mr.. Cox con-
cluded his remarks, having spoken almost
two hours.
Mr. Johnson, rep, OF Indiana, a member
of the committee on banking and cur
rcncy, was the next speaker, taking a
position oppo site to that of Mr.. Cox.
BLACK on THE BILL.
Mr.. Johnson spoke an hour and three
quarters, and was followed by MIR Black,
dem, of Georgia, also a member of the
committee He first referred TO the
statement made by Mr. Springer chair
man of the committee, which was, ne
said, not the least of the strange doc
trine3 asserted by the latter, that the
supreme court was the final arbitrator of
what the constitution meant and was,
and that It's decision was binding on the
House. 1t would be, he said,
remembered that at least in one in.
stance in this congress, the
repeal Of the federal election laws, that
doctrine was entirely repudiated The
congress was n coordinate branch Of the
government, and was no more dependent
upon the supreme court for an interpre-
tation of the constitution than it was
upon the house. In support Of this, Mr..
Black quoted Thomas Jetferson's s letter TO
John Adams upon this subject,
which he commended 10 the chairman.
Mr.. Black traced the passage of
the 10 per cent. bank tax law through the
Senate, as he said, 10 supplement the his
tory of the bill in the House, as given in
Mr. Coxs speech for the purpose Of
quoting eminent democratic authority TO
show that the law was believed by the
leaders to be unconstitutional. Without
concluding his remarks, MIR. Black gave
way TO a motion that the committee rise.
This was agreed 10, and at o'clock, the
House adjourned until Thursday.

Washington, May 29.-The wholesale
discharge of clerks, for which Secretary

THE TREASURY s1Tu ALTON.
II Begins TO Look as Though Anothen
Bond issue Would Be Necessary.


Washington, May 29.-The situation in
the treasury is growing serious, and was
foreshadowed in these dispatches some
time ago If congress does not soon afford
relief, Secretary Carlisle will again be
forced to resort TO a bond issue under the
old law of 1879, which authorizes 5 per
cent. bonds for the maintenance of the
gold redemption fund The gold reserva
is gradually sinking, and has now fallen
to something like $80,000,00O in round
numbers. The net cash balance has
fallen TO about Sl20,000,000 The net bal-
ance has decreased about 7,000,000 this
month. When the reserve fell below
$4,000, 900 before, Secretary Carlisle
took the law in his hands and issued fifty
million of bonds.
The former issue Of bonds, and the im-
portation Of gold which followed rinA
creased the gold balance to Sl06 600, 900
which of course increased the cash bal-
ance to about $l40, 100000. Until the end
of April the gold reserve was kept intact.
Then it began TO suddenly decrease On
May 4, il had passed the $l00,000,0 000
mark, and since then has declined as
rapidly as 81, ,OO0, 900 day, which leaves
the gold reserve about $4,000 900.
Members of congress swear they will
not authorize an issue of bonds, whether
in the form of a popular loan or in per
cents Secretary Carlisle will be COM
PEELED to take the matter in his own
hands again. Officials at the treasury
department believe that the greatesn
danger exists if the gold reserve is
allowed TO fail much below its pr6s-
ent mark, as it might produce distrusa
among the holders Of American securities
abroad the prospects are that the drain
will be a severe one at the best. Another
issue Of bonds will ferment the question
of gold and silver in congress again. The
popular loan theory is being advocated by
many in Washington, but there is little
reason TO believe that Secretary Carlisle,
though he indOrses this scheme, can
secure an Endorsement of it from con-
gress AT any rate, there is great dissat-
isfaction expressed that a bond issue will
be resorted to on any conditions; yet it
is the law that the gold reserve must be
kept intact, and without q Dond issue 10
seems al present impossible.
