Martial Law VIII Not Be Declared In
Jacksonville.

Martial Law Will Not Be Declared In
Jacksonviile.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 24.-Martial
law will not be declared. Governor
Mitchell has seen great light and At
torney-G General Lamar this evening re-
ceived telegram from him to the effect
that martial law would not be declared.
This has been the prevalent opinion,
but for fear that the governor might not
stand by his declaration several mem-
bers of the city council held quiet con-
ference this evening and after
thoroughly canyassing the situation
decided that Governor Mitchell
ehould not be allowed to usurp
the police functions of the city without
reason. They argued that in view OF
today's decision there was no warrant
for the governor to proceed further, and
that the only action he could properly
take now would be to send the troops
home. 1t was decided to have call
issued in the regular manner for a
special session of the entire city coun-
Gil at an early hour tomorrow morning
to consider the extraordinary situation.
The Associated Press representative is
in med by member of the council
that resolutions will be presented set-
ting forth the threatened infringement
of the vested rights and dignity of the
city by the action of Governor
Mitchell, and proposing ample
measures to meet any action which
mig be taken by him. The gentleman
| further said the people might rest as
sured now that the judge had spoken,
that the authorities OF the city would
see to it that the guests of the city were
properly protected in case they go to see
the exhibition. which has been licensed
in accord with law. He added that ii

Governor Mitchell might have had a
quiet tip as to this meeting, and this
may have had it's effect, as well as the
decision of the Judge OF course, his
change of mind will PROBABLY re-
suit in little being done at the special
meeting tom orrow. but the conference
! this evening shows that the Jacksonville
| people are thoroughly in earnest in
| their stand.
Adjutant-Genersl Houston, when
asked tonight as to what orders he
would issue to the militia now in jack
sonville, said until he received instruc-
tions from Governor Mitchell he would
have nothing tosay in the matter. The
troops are now in the hands o! the
sheriff, - he said, land he is practically
in command. AS his hands are now
tied suppose the militia will remain
here until definite orders are received
from the governor"

The Hawaiian Question Again Comes
Up FOR Discusst"n.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-lne Hawaiian
question came before the senate again
TODAY, and after an hours discussion
went over until tomorrow. The result
of the debate was to show division
both in the Democratic and Republican
ranks AS to the wisdom Of adopting the
resolution reported by the foreign rela-
tions committee. Vest objected on the
ground that 1t indicated that the pro-
isct for annexation might be more
tavorably received in the future. and
Allison and other Republicans objected
on the ground that, according TO their
Interpretation, the resolution pledged
the senate as altogether opposing the
principle of annexation, and as approx
ing the policy of the president in this
respect. Hall dozen amendments are
now pending to modify the phraseology,
and it is likely to be subjected to una
terial changes before final ADOPTION
At 2 O'Clock the bill repeating the
federal elections law came up as unin-
ished business. Lodge took the hoor In
opposition to the bill.
After O short executive session, Coke
called up the Gulf, Beaumont and Kan
sas City bridge bill, which called out a
discussion OF the presidents recent veto
of the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill. The presidents action was crit
icised by Vest, who said the president
had evidently overlooked the decision
of the United States supreme court ai-
frming the power of congress to en-
power the secretary of war 80 determine
whether the proposed bridge would be
an obstruction tonavigation to and require
changes in plans.
After the passage Of minor bills the
senate adjourned.

Battle Today.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 24.-If
neither Corbett nor Mitchell falls dead
or runs away there will be prize fight
here tomorrow. Judge Call of the cir
cult court has declared himself upon the
question of law; he has said no legal
reason exists why the fghtshould not be
held in the arena in Jacksonville. Mem
bers Of the city council have declared
in effect, that the city of Jacksonville,
officially speaking. will do more than see
that the Duvsl Athletic club has q per-
NIT for the fight, and that the gloves do
not weigh less than five ounces. Gov
ernor Mitchell has gone upon record
through Attorney General Lamar, who
says now the matter having been set
tied by the courts, he will not declare
martial law in Jacksonville. The milf
tia which have been brought here to
suppress the fight will very probably
attend it, special rates of $40 each hav-
ing been made for it. Mitchell is in his
room at the Everett hotel, and Corbett
is expected at the st. James at
very late hour. All obstacles to
the fight have been removed and
there seems at present to be absolutely
nothing to prevent it. Late trains have
brought in hundreds of sporting men
who tonight are thronging the streets
and packing the hotels to overflowing.
Betting tonight is more strongly in favor
of Corbett than any time yet. Both
men are said to be in the very pink of
condition, and both have declared that
tomorrow they will make the fight of
their lives. The bitter feeling between
them has been intensified of late and
the fight will be desperate one.

San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-There was
an exciting scene at the Grand opera
house tonight during concert given by
the Iowa State band. AS an additional
feature Miss Effie Stewart, we'll known
in the east, was advertised to eing. The
big opera house was filed with people,
and when Miss Stewart commenced her
eong il did not take the audience long
to decide that they did not like her
style. The crowd guyed her unmerci-
fully and becamesso boisterous that she
had to leave the stage. The band, how
ever, was greatly appreciated and en-.
Enthusiastically applauded. Miss Stewart
says her unkind reception was due to
San Francisco jealousy OF eastern talent.
She says she was suffering from cold.

collected. The remainder of the Bryan

AN INCOME TAX sKIRMIsH.

AN INCOME TAX sKIRMIsH.
At the conclusion OF Sickles' speech
the first open struggle over income tax
was precipitated, and q momentary
flash showed the depth of feeling in the
Democratic ranks on this subject, and
portended the fierce conflict which will
ensue when it comes up for consider
alton.
Wilson moved that the committee
rise and the motion was agreed to, Crisp
resuming the chair.
McMillin, holding the international
revenue bill containing the income tax
feature above his head, was loudly
clamoring for recognition, while the op-
ponents of income tax, including Cock
ran, Tracey, Cummings, Lockwood
and others of the New York delegation,
speakers eve. Above the din and con-
fusion kcMillin demanded recognition
to present privileged report. The OPP
ponents OF income tax wanted to adj
journ, and the speaker was forced to
recognize Lockwood to make that motion.
The Republicans, with the Democrats
favoring the income tax, voted against
the proposition to adjourn, and the OPP
lessly beaten. II they could hold the
fort, however. for only three minutes
the house under the special order would
have recess at 3 80. Quickly Cochran
demanded division upon the motion,
and with rapidity the speaker counted
the members who rose for and against
the motion, announcing it was lost, ID
to SO.
THE REVENUE BILL REPORTED.
The New York men still had one more
arrow in their quiver. Cochran de-
manded the yeas and nays. They could
only muster 10 supporters, however, not
sufficient to secure a roll call. When
the speaker made the announcement it
lacked 20 seconds of the time for the
house to recess. In that time, amid
roar of applause, McMillin reported the
internal revenue bill to the house. The
advocates of the income tax were victo-
rious, and 10 seconds later the house
took a recess until O'Clock.

THE NEW MOVEMENT.

The letter from Judge George l.. Chris
tian, published yesterday. was a timely
one. The movement with which Judge
Christian and other leading citizens are
connected 10 secure for Richmond a CITY
Council that will administer our city
government as economically as possible
is one In which every person in the
city of whatever state and condition in
life should feel a deep interest Judge
Christian wen says. 1--WE believe that the
virtue. intelligence and property holders
OF this city have the right and the
power. and that 1t is their duty to con-
troll It's affairs" This is indeed. a truism.
Who has the right 10 control the affairs
OF this city If not those who are pos
sessed OF its virtue. intelligence and
property. What other qualification is
there for rule? Is 1T to he said that
the wicked the ignorant. and the thrift
less are entitled to rule?
Wei, this being so. shall not the good
who own property combine together TO
elect council who will hold our tax
rate down to the lowest possible point,
that each citizen may enjoy what is his
own instead of seeing il forcibly taken
from him by the tax gatherers TO be
squandered on exaggerated city halls or
sewers at double cost? We hope these
gentlemen will succeed in arousng a
general interest among voters on the I'M
portance Of the coming election, and
we hope TO see every tax payer and
every other citizen who feels the smallest
interest In the future prosperity of Rich
mond Joining with then. and co-ope-
rating with them In their effort
TO secure a really representative City
Council. Let them carefully avoid any
complication of any sort with the offices
OF Mayor, City Sergeant. and the other
general city Offices and conine them
selves solely TO the City Council. Let
them get representative citizens In each
ward To agree 10 become candidates for
the City Council and then let them an
nounce the names Of these persons 10 the
people of Richmond as good and fitting
snen 70 represent the people in the
Council and Board Of Aldermen. IL they
persevere in their undertaking and bring
out a ticket in each ward we are per
fectly confident that Il will be triurn-
phantly elected

1t is understood that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company has about
completed negotiations for a new loan.
The report comes from Wall street. New
York, where rumors have been circulate"
for several weeks that the Baltimore
and Ohio was negotiating a loan In New
York and London. The Baltimore and
Ohio has made large expenditures in the
purchase Of new lines and In the ex-
tension and Improvement Of old lines.
Included i'm these improvements are the
tunnel and new bridge at Harper's Ferry
and the cutoff at Relay. While these
improvements were costly, they Will add
materially TO the value OF the road in
the way Of quicker train service, and AT
Harpers Ferry by giving the assurance
that no danger may be hereafter feared
from floods in the Potomac river. The
depression in business has operated
against the negotiation OF large loans
with any securities that might be Of
ferad, but with a revival OF business
and the settlement of financial legisla
ton at Washington, it is said the Balu-
more and Ohio will have no difficulty In
placing its bonds. The report from Wall
street puts the ultimate amount OF the
loan at $4,000. 00O.-Baltimore sun.

4RUGE CAST OF BRONZE.
Part Of the SOLDIER and Sailors Statue
Run into the Mould.

One Of the largest pieces Of solid
bronze in this country was cast yesier-
day afternoon at the foundry Of the
Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company. No. 49,
west Sixteenth street. 1t was part OF
the statue in honor Of the Confederate
soldiers and sailors which Will be I'M
yelled at Richmond. Va, May lst, says
the New York World, OF yesterday. The
statue is sixteen feet high and will
weigh. when completed. 800 pounds. II
was designed by William l.. Shepard. OF
Richmond, and modelled by Caspar Bu-
berl. Of New York City.
That section Of the statue cast yes
terday was the part from the waist
down. 1t was one of the most difficult
castings ever made in America. In the
casting-pit which Is about five feet deep,
ten feet wide, and fifteen feet long,
was the flask, or rather number Of
iron TASKS securely boted and clasped
together. This mould was TIVE We weeks
in the making. four men devoting all
their attention TO il for that time. Every
section Of Il was braced TO prevent a
breaking, for any mistake meant the loss
Of thousands Of dollars. The French
sand used in making the mould was
thoroughly dried, for moisture means ex-
plosion.
Near the mould was a series OF square
iron plates, glowing red. These COW
cred the pots, in which the metal was
melted. The furnaces are about three
feet square and are like walled-up wells
The metal is placed in clay pots about
the size Of a beer keg 1t was four
hours in the heating.
The wOrkmen are all French. Each
played his part with the precision which
marks members Of military organiza-
ton. Those who worked over the pots
wore pieces Of thick carpet about their
legs arms. and hands. There we're $500
pounds of hot metal in those pots.
They were taken out from the wells
by big tongs, which clasped the sides
Of the pots. Workmen drew them up
with a tackle. the heavy machinery Of
the cranes being too slow. The contents
of the pots were poured into a larger
one, the liquid fire breathing forth gases
Of exquisite hues Of greens and yellows.
Many women were present, and when
they saw these hues they made exclama-
tons Of delight
When all the pots were emptied. the
Stag was drawn off, the tackle from
the crane was fastened to the large cal
dron and it was raised IN the air and
carried around 10 the large mouth Of the
flask in which a few minutes before
paper had been burned to draw out any
possible dampness. The great pot was
partly turned by means OF a wheel and
the cleaning, suffering bronze ran into
the mould with a gurgie. finding its way
to the innermost parts.
IL Will take thirty-six hours for the
casting TO cool sufficiently to permit it
to be taken out Even then II will be
very hot. 1t cannot be known whether
ii is successful east until it is taken
out Of the mould. The remainder of the
statue will be cast In quite a number
OF pieces. The whole will be shipped TO
Richmond on April Is.
The money TO pay for the statue was
raised by popular subscription.
