NAVAL MILITIA RESERVES.
Report of Lieut.. Tyler, Who Saw the

Report of Lieut.. Tyler, Who Saw the
North Cerol IA Maneuvers.
Washington, Sept. 14.-The report of
Lieut.. f. H. Tyler who was ordered by
the navy department to attend the evolu-
tions of the North Carolina naval mill
tia, indicates the remarkable utility and
improvement Of that body. 1t appears
that the battalion needs no drilling on
board regular men-of-war as was required
in the case of the reserves of other states,
but 1t is competent to use The monitor,
Nantucket, which was loaned the state of
North Carolina by the government, with
out any outside assistance.
The vessel was put in commission
wholly by the reserve at Wilmington
Aug. II and proceeded TO Southport, one
of tue reserve lieutenants plotting the
vessel, which was under way part of the
time at night. The engineer department
overhauled and put the machinery in
fair condition, and is especially COM
mended for efficiency. The fire room
force were enlisted for the cruise. The
drills were excellent, and the target prac-
tice led the inspector to think that the
men had been carefully and properly in
structed in all branches.
The old monitor was in bad order when
turned over to them, but has been thor
oughly repaired everywhere except in the
turret machinery This work was done
by the militiamen themselves.
When called upon for active service, at
tendance is compulsory. At one time the
New bern division was called out and was
ready in a few hours with an attendance
of over 30 per cent The battalion re-
ported in Norfolk for service in fully
equipped vessel in about tweuty-four
hours.
A valuable experience to the militia
during the cruise occurred when, at mid
night, the vessel dragged her anchor
about half mile. This kept the crew on
deck working tending ship, ETC.. until
o'clock in the morning, and they had to
work all the forenoon getting under way
and clearing a foul anchor. The report
throughout shows that the North Caro-
lima reserve would be useful in real

FOUND IN POVERTY.
A Grandson of President Tyler Desti-
tute in Washington.

Washington, Sept. A.-An unusually
touching and pathetic case of destitution
has come to light here, in which Robert
Tyler Jones, grandson of President
Tyler, and the first male infant born in
the white house, has been found living in
an attic in the outskirts of the city,
suffering for the necessities of life, with
an invalid wife and little baby dependent
upon him.
In July, 1887, his uncle, John Tyler, Jr.,
son of the President, and his private
secretary at the white house, was
stricken with paralysis. He had held the
Office of special witness to certify
to the destruction of cancelled cur
rency The nephew came to Wash
ington to nurse him, and was ap-
pointed his alternate under Cleveand's
first administration He held that office
until July, 1898, and every month he
divided his salary in two equal parts, one
of which he placed in an envelope and
sent to the helpless uncle. This he did
for six years without intermission.
During Mr.. Harrison's administration
an unsuccessful attempt was made to oust
him because he had been a confederate
soldier
The last congress passed a law that no
substitutes should hereafter be employed
in any department, and this resulted in
his loss of official position and consequent
Distress
The case has been taken up by the
Southern Relief society.

CRISP ON THE CRISIS.
The Speaker Addresses a Large Cath
eTiI6 at Augusta.

Remarkable Financial Measures Pro
posed by Populists in OonRress-A
Law Making Every Mans Due Bill
a Legal Tender Would Be an I'm
provement on Their Visionary
Schemes.
Augusta, Sept 14.-Speaker Charles F.
Crisp of the House of Representatives,
addressed one of the largest gatherings
tonight that has ever listened to a
speaker in this county. Mr.. Crisp ar
rived in the morning and was the guest
of ex-Congressman George T. Barnes.
Senator Patrick Walsh presided at the
meeting and the speaker was introduced
by Congressman James c. c. Black.
Speaker Crisp said he did not have any
set speech, but he wanted to have a little
talk with his hearers about the Demo
cratic party, the partys interests, what
it had done and what it hoped to do. He
referred to the exciting conditions when
the Democratic party went into power.
He reviewed the financial legislation of
congress, the votes on the silver question,
which, personally, were disappointment
to him, as he always believed in the free
and unlimited coinage of both metals.
On the tariff question he spoke at some
length, as this is the district Tom Wat
son would like to represent, and the
populists seelkIto minimize the Importance
of tariff reform.
He explained the burdens of the Nc
Kinley law and the benefits of the Senate
bill, explaining its reductions on the
necessaries of life, and giving object les
sons with samples of woolen cloths.
The speaker read from the record list
of bills introduced by populist members
to print and issue money for visionary
schemes and suggested that they seek to
have passed law making every man s
due bill a legal tender for public and
private debts. 1t would be much more
convenient method of issuing currency
and the notes would be just as valuable as
those the populists wanted the govern
ment to issue.
In conclusion Mr.. Crisp said: "My
friends, one word in conclusion l have
told you what the Democratic party has
done. / have shown you that we have
made a long stride in the direction Of
tariff reform. / have shown you that we
have made taxable all the money of the
people. l have shown you that we have
manifested an undying eEmity to all
trusts opposed to the people. Upon this
evidence we build our hopes and upon it
we go to the people. For them we have
fought the good fight, to them we have
| kept faith, and of them we have no
| fear"
Throughout his speech there was the
closest attention, and frequent hearty
| applause interrupted his remarks.
| Senator Walsh and Congressman Black
were both given enthusiastic ovations
that were notably prolonged.
