Reduced Democratic Vote in Georgia


Tho diminished Democratic majority in
Georgia is an ominous Indication for South
ern Bourbonism. Last year the Democratic
majority in the state was $500. This
year the majority for Atkinson, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, is not
likely TO exceed 10000. The Republicans
and Populists Joined forces on the common
issue of a free ballot and an honest count,
and the inroads which they made on the
Democratic majority are highly encouraging.
Georgia has been rightly named the
Empire State of the South. Her Industrial
development in the last few years has been q
marvel. Her citizens OF intelligence must
eventually sec that tho future OF their COM
monweslth depends upon the protection Of
American industry, and that the worst enc
mics OF Georgia are the Bourbon politicians
who stiHe the popular will by fraud and force
and throw all the weight OF the States repre-
sentation in Congress and the Electoral Col
lege on the side Of free trade. Georgia, like
louisiana, will one day be a Republican
State.

FALL RIVER.
Strikers Will Be Supported
One Week Longer.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 20.--Notwith-
standing the refusal of the management
of the Seaconnet mills to promise resto-
ration of the old scale of wages, and the
announcement that for the present
the mills will be operated
under the reduction, nearly all OF
the operatives there returned to work to-
day. A few stayed out but their places
were quickly filed. The operatives will
probably remain at work until the end of
of the week, W hen they will find out how
much they are TO be paid. II the rate
is not satisfactory meeting will be
held and the question of striking will
be decided. a mass meeting of the strik-
ing weavers was held this morning in
Music Hall and was largely attended. 1t
was decided to pay all strikers one half
of the regular strike allowance for
one week longer. This means that the
strikers will stay out for one week
more at the expense of the union.
After that they will have to depend
on their own resources il they do not re-
turn TO work. At the Durfee mills tod ay
there is an increase of 80 in the mum Der
OF looms in operation, the total being
1913. There is no change in the situation
at the other mills.

HANGED TODAY.
The Crime for Which George
Schmous Paid Penalty,

PITTsBURG, PA, Sept. 20. - George
Schmous was hanged in the Allegheny
county Jail at 10:45 O'Clock this morning.
The crime for which George Schmous
suffered the death penalty was one of the
most atrocious in the annals ofthe country.
Schmous with his wife aud four children
resided on South Eleventh street.
The husband and wife quar-
relied frequently. During the night
of July "a, 1893, the house was
discovered afire and after extinguishing
the flames the firemen found Mrs.
Schmous and two little daughters upon
the bed i'm an upstairs room with their
skulls crushed and the walls spattered
with blood. The baby, blood stained
but unharmed, lay in the cradle
and the nine -year-old boy crouched
in terror down stairs. Schmous
acted distractedly, claiming he knew
nothing OF the awful deed and from the
time OF his arrest strenuously denied any
knowledge OF the crime. His trial before
Judge Single last September resulted In
first degree murder, wholly upon circum-
stantial evidence. Appeals were taken,
but wit hout effect.
Schmous was an ordinary laborer born i'm
Bavaria 3s years ago and had resided I'm
this country about eleven years.
Several Catholic priests and nuns at
tended to his spiritual wants during his
last days and under their ministration he
became resigned to his fate without, how
ever, having made any open confession.
n IL execution was the second in Allie
ghany county this month. George Duco-
viks, who was TO have been hanged with
him, has Deen Temporarily reprieved, pend
ing investigation as to his sanity. Sixteen
minutes after the drop fell life was pro-
nounced extinct. Death resulted from
strapgulstion.

LABOR TROUBLES.
investigation Of the Strikes and Lock
Outs for Seven Years Past.
Bu the Associated prea


WASHINGTON, Sept 20.--The Depart
ment OF Labor has about completed its
investigation of strikes and lock- outs
that have occurred since 1887, upon which h
they have been engaged for many months
past. The report will not, however,
be published before next spring.
1t will form an exhaustive showing OF all
the labor troubles in the United States
since the dates named, the num-
ber Of employees involved in
each strike or lockout, the cause
of the trouble, the loss in wages, etc.
The next subject to be investigated by the
department is the influence of machinery
on labor. Congress has appropriated
$4,000 for this, besides authorizing the
use OF the regular force of the bureau.
The work on the inquiry will begin in
November. Tne statistics Of strikes and
lock-outs will he kept up from year to
year hereafter.
An elaborate comparison OF the cost OF
commodities under the old hand system
and under the machine system will be
made and the relative productivenes Of
labor under the two systems will be
shown.
AS many industries as possible will be
covered. Beyond this resolution OF
Congress calls for an investigation Of the
modern industrial condition OF wo-
men and children, the wages that
are paid them as compared with
the men, how far their labor
displaces that OF men, the sanitary con.
ditions under which they labor and the
provisions for their comfort, etc. This
inquiry will not be entered upon until
after the irreiry into the influence OF
machinery on labor is completed, which
is expected to occupy year or more.

LAST EDITION
LUCKY JAPS.
They Thrashed the Chinese
With Little Loss.
BIZ The Associated Press.

TOXIC, Sept. 20.-An official dispatch
received here from the sSjanese fleet,
says the latter at one O'Clock in the
afternoon of September 16 met IL
Chinese warships and six torpedo
boats 80 miles northeast of Hal Yang
Tao, with the result that four OF
the Chinese ships were sunk and one was
burned. The dispatch adds that the
japanese feet sustained no damage. The
Japanse feet was composed of IL ships,
some of which were small war vessels.
The Chinese claim to have sunk the
Japanese warshjps Abushima and Yossina
and japanese transport WI hich had been
converted into cruiser and named the
Saiko.
private report received here from
Shanghai declares that these vessels were
not sunk, as the Chinese claim, but that
they retired from the action in disabled
condition.
1t is reported that the Chinese transport
Toonan was sunk after she had landed her
troops, but this is thought to be possibly
incorrect.
The report that Admiral Ting and Col
onel Won Hannekin were severely
wounded seems to be incorrect for they
have both returned to duty. The West
minister Gazette this afternoon, comments
ing on the battle, says:
We observe, speaking generally, that
both sides were engaged In verifying the
theories of Captain Mahan, the Japanese
conscientiously, as they are great students
of that eminent authority and the Chinese
unwilliDgly, and ii may be. fairly sup-
posed reluctantly.
The Chinese have the biggest navy, but
they have been unable to concentrate It
upon points Of paramount strategical im-s
portance. So far the war has turned out,
according to the most approved ideas,
as IL ought to have turned out.
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: " Ad-
miral Ting made the fatal mistake OF try
ing TO convey troops before he had met
and broken the enemy's feet and unless
the troops landed at the Ytlu River are
relieved from the sea they are irretrivably
lost"
The st. JAMES Gazette says: 'If this Is .
victory for tho Chinese they must pray
for defeat. The damage which t he .l,p-
anese inflicted with their smaller and
lighter squadron goes far to show In tao
tics, discipline and tine handling of mod
ern weapons they ere as rauch superior to
the Chinese at sea as they have already
shown themselves to be on iaH4. y -
The officials of the Japanese legation at
London have received private cable mes
sage from Yokohoma dated today, saying
that on Sept. 10, IL Chinese warships en-
countered nine japanese ships with the
result that after severe fighting the Chi.
nese lost four vessels and the Japanes
none.

shot by Jenkins while standing among
crowd of people and almost instantly
killed. Jenkins, few days ago, sued his
wife for a divorce on the ground OF
adultery with DIR. Mcintosh, who is also
married, while his wife, at the same time,
filed suit for $4,000 damages
against p. NJ. Vaughine, a wealthy
planter and merchant, for slander
and for alternating her islands affec-
tions. Sha alleged that by Vaughine's
libelous remarks about her relations with
Mcintosh, which had only been of
eighborly manner and those of a family
physician to her, her husband became en-
stranged from her and deserted her. Jen-
kins few days ago left for Texas, but
returned yesterday and the shooting of
Mcintosh followed. The latter claimed
that jenkins on more than one occasion
administered arsenic to bis wife. Owing
to the prominence of all the parties, the
various suits and shooting has created
big sensation and more trouble is ox-
pected. Jenkins was brought here last
evening and placed in jail.

SILVER ROW.
RepubIicans Had a Tilt in the
Convention.
Ru T1le Amoeiated Pres.

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 20.-The Wash
ington State convention had tilt over
the silver plank in the platform. The
convention was evenly divided on this
subject and reported two resolut ions.
They were discussed for three
hours. One or two amendments were
voted down and finally the free silver
plank providing for free coinage at the
ratio of 10 TO / was beaten by vote OF pa
TO 26l. The platform also contains the
following:
"We affirm our allegiance to the princi-
Piles of the Republican party and endorse
unreservedly the national platform of
1892, believing a return TO these principles
in the administration OF the government
is absolutely necessary TO insure return
of national prosperity.
We deplore the terrible calamity that
has befallen our common country by rea-
son of the gross incompetency and mis-
rule of the Democratic party.
We denounce the foreign policy of the
present administration, for its studied
and persistent efforts To humiliate
and annoy; to injure and continuously
To manifest its contempt for those
whose injuries while defending the flag of
their country merited for them not only
the everlasting gratitude, but also the
bounty of a nation. We condemn it for
its so-called policy of .sriff reform which
in practice its leader and head denounces
as one of perfidy and dishonor,' a
policy which taxes the poor mans
breakfast table for the sake of enriching
its political friends and benefactor, the
colossal sugar trust of America; n policy,
the very menace of which has destroyed
confidence, ruined values, demoralized
capital and starved la bor."
