An AuRustan Now in Syria Tries to
Promote Immigration.
Augusta, Ca, Aug 20-Judge T. R.
Gibson of Augusta, who holds an i'm
portant position as United States consul
at Beyrut, Syria, has deep interest in
his Old home, and is lending his assist
ance to the immigration movement to the
south. He is exerting his en-
ergy and influence to persuade
foreign immigrants to come to
this country and to locate in Georgia.
He wrote letter to Col Dyer which
shows what he is doing for his country.
He says:
81 have just written to Joe Lamar,
president of the business league, and l
send him letter from a consular col
league OF mine at Bagdad, showing that
away over here Bin the desert is a man
who knows and admires' Augusta, and
wants TO do something for her. He
seems much interested in immigration to
America, and especially to Georgia, and
If he can do what he says he can do, he
would not be bad man for Secretary
Boykln to correspond with. / wrote him
that l wanted TO 1see thrifty
and well-to-do immigrants go to the
south via your Port Royal transatlantic
line, and | would not be surprised if he
wrote you on the subject. His name is
Or. John b. Sundburg, and he says he is
going TO Norway and Switzerland before
long, and he claims to be we'll known and
able to send peasants who have enough
money 10 buy land and supplies for them
selves. If he can do this we would
all rejoice, for this variety
beats the anarchists, etc, of Chi
cago. If ] can help Augusta at
this distance, / will be too happy, as
my only regret at not being sent TO Eu-
rope was because was switched off the
highway, in which / might have di-
rected healthy emigration from the
better classes there to the south"

ITS FATE IN DOUBT

NOTHING FOR THIS WEEK..
Sundry Civil Bill Passes with Further
Amendments-President Cleveland
Scored by Chandler.

WASHINGTON Aug. 2-The Democratic
tariff ccnferees did not make as marked a
progress to-day as they had hoped when
they went into session. Members of the
conference say good feeling still exists after
to-day's meeting, and that there is the
same reason for the belief of an ultimate
alnicable settlement and that tomorrow or
the day folio wing may see the end of their
deliberations. When asked to-day if IL was
true, as has been generally understood.
that there had been an agreement on all
the schedules, except sugar. a member OF
the said that such was not the
fact, but he added that he thought with
sugar out of the way the other differences
might be harmOnized.
Yet" he said. there are some very
knotty questions TO deal with outside of the
sugar schedule.
There is no doubt that the session to-day
was devoted almost entirely to sugar and
that various propositions have been dis
cussed. but none agreed upon. The House
conferees went TO Speaker Crisp's private
office at the close of the meeting and dis
cussed the situation. Chairman Wilson and
his associates expressed satisfaction with
the progress being made. Mr.. Wilson said.
however, that even if an agreement were
reached 1t could not be prepared i'm time to

AGAINST ANARCHISTS.
enatOr HiITs Bill to Keep All Such
from Landing i'm the United States.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2-Secretary Car
Isle, to whom was referred the House bill,
or Stone bill, providing for the inspection
of immigrants by United States consuls
at the point Of e~mbarkation. has made a
report in opposition to the bill. He says
the law of 1898, under which the depart
ment is now acting. is daily becoming
more useful and efficacious and should not
be hampered by a dual administration of
the State and Treasury departments. Ac-
companying the Secretary's report on the
Stone bill was the draft OF a bill amend
atory to the recent immigration law. This
bill Senator Hill reported from the commit
tee on immigration. Its principal aim Is
the exclusion of Anarchists.
The first section of the substitute provides
that no alien Anarchists shall be permitted
to land at any port of the United States,
but that this provision shall not be so con-
strued as TO exclude political refugees The
bill provides for hearings in the cases OF
landing of reputed Anarchists, and in case
the charges be proved the Secretary OF the
Treasury is authorized TO send the accused
back to the country whence he came. The
bill also provides for the expectation OF any
unnaturalized foreign-born person, who. on
q trial in any court, shall appear TO the
Judge of the court before which ne is tried
TO be an Anarchist.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
Shocking Fate of a Man Who Seized
a olive" Wire.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. "A frightful acct
dent occurred in this city at about IL o'clock
last night, in which Leroy Wright, a mo-
torman for the electric street-railway COM
pany, was killed. Incident to laying street
paving several shade trees have been re-
moved from the sidewalks. One of these
supported a guy wire attached to the top of
an electric-light pole and to the tree, TWEEN
~ feet away When the tree was cut down
the wire was twisted about the pole and
permitted to remain. The wire came in con-
tact with the light wire, and when the
lights were in use it was equally as dam
gerous as any. Last night Robert Rich
leaned against the pole and was knocked
down. Superintendent Singleton was in
formed, and came TO remove the wire, but
before doing so was handling 1t very reck-
leSsly. Wright was passing, and, being a
venturesome fellow, grabbed hold of the

insulated, and he received the full pressure,
$500 volts. He dropped to the ground, with
the wire clutched in his left hand, calling
ton, Granville Shepp and John Walling took
hold of him, and all fell in a heap. Single
ton was in the most dangerous place, and
had to be kicke loose from the Inflated
man. His right hand had become attached
to Wright and he could not free himself.
For five minutes the men had to stand and
look at the flesh Of Wright fairly cooking
with electricity before the light was turned
off at the power house. He died almost in
stantly. Holes were burned to the bone In
his hand, and large pieces of flesh were
burned from the bottoms of his feet. He
was a young married man, with a wife and
two children. He came from Dunkirk to
Muncie, and the remains will be taken there
for burial tomorrow.

POSTAGE STAMP CHANGES.
Number to BE Discontinue and New
Ones to BE Engraved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Am important
change in the denominations Of postage
stamps is contemplated by the Postofice
Department. The principal ones are in the
newspaper and periodical series, but the
regular series is also to be altered. OF the
latter, the ones, twos, threes, fours, fives,
skies, Fights, tens and ~ffteens, which are
now in use, will be continued. The present
thirty and ninety cents ordinary stamps
probably will be discontinued. Fifty cent
and one, two and five-dollar stamps will
be added to the series. 1t is intended to
reduce the number of denominations of the
newspaper and periodical stamps from
twenty-four to twelve or fourteen. The
dollar stamp, now printed for the first time
by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
is the doubtful one, but it will probably be
finally decided on favorably to its con-
tinued use. The new denominations of the
series, either now printed by the bureau
for the first time, or TO be issued later,
are five, twenty-five and fifty cents and 81,
81, So, $40, $50, $50 and SlC0. Those to be
dropped out of use are three, four. six,
eight, twelve. twenty-four. thirty-six, forty
ty-six. s1.92 and So. s., 50, So, $24, S36. $4S
and $50. The postage due" stamps have
been re-engraved under the present con-
tract and slightly reduced in size from the
former output of the contractor. All these
changes have been practically approved by
the officials, subject, however, TO modihca-
tons, If deemed advisable.
