Washington, Oct 2.-Secretary Carlisle has accepted an invitation to attend the banquet of the Reform club at Boston, Mass, October 12 next He will be the principal speaker at the feast.
 Collector Wilkinson of New Orleans had an extended interview this morning with Secretary Carlisle as to the pay ment of the sub-bounty. MT. Wilkinson expressed the hope that some way could be devised or means found to pay the bounty without recourse to the courts. He said that non-payment would impose great hardship upon many deserving people. Secretary Carlisle said he saw no way out of the present trouble extept through the court of claims, to which it had been referred by Comptroller Bowler, unless the comptroller reversed his de- cision. He said further that he would hear Ex-Senator Manderson on the ques- tions raised by him as to the right to re- fer the case to the court of claims In the face of the protest of the parties con- cerned. MT. Manderson, however, had not indicated the time when he would present himself MT Wilkinson after he left the department said he had but little hope that the bounty would be paid un- til there was a decision by the court in the matter

AND HE ORDERS 25,OOO TONS
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Con-
 pany t~ Ie lublant
OVER A TLl-. ,m RECEIVED BY THEM
From TR 'inoinnati Agents Telling of the cess of Carnegie's Experi-
 lent With Birmingham Basic Steel

Basic iron turned out by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company is a success beyond all controversy. Carnegie, the steel king, says so and his Judgment is backed up by stern facts and large figures.
 To revert to the first effort of making
 basic or low silicon iron at the Alice fura
 mace by the Tennessee company is unnec-
 essary, as all readers of the Age-Herald
 are well acquainted with the progress of
 the experiment.
 That the basic iron turned out by the
 Alice was a success was heralded some
 time ago when the Age-Herald printed
 the result of trial by western firm
 and their asking for contract for large
 order. But the Tennessee company of- fcials were not satisfied with the an- nouncement Carnegie had prepared formula for making basic iron and had, when the Tennessee people announced 8 successful output of iron from this for mula, ordered 4000 tons as a trial order, with options on a large order in case of successful results. About 2OO0 tons of this trial order has been shipped to Car negie'S works and the results were. most anxiously awaited, as on the verdict hung much, from financial standpoint, to the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company. The answer has come, good and strong.
 Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Mat thew, Addy & Co.,, agents of the Tennes- see company at Cincinnati, wired the
 office here that Carnegie had tested the basic iron and the results were most highly satisfactory and the remainder
 of the order of 25000 tons, which, as stated, was based on the approval of the trial shipment, was ordered shipped as soon as possible.
 MT. Bowron of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, In speaking of the matter to an Age-Herald reporter, said it was the most pleasing piece of news he has heard since he moved to Birmingham, and was proud of the re- suit of the Carnegie experiment. as it
 meant much, not only for his company, but for Birmingham and Alabama 9th CT officials of the company were also proud of the good news.
 No. furnace at Bessemer has been turning out this grade of iron for up- wards of week and will at once be equipped with chilled molds for the casting house. The entire output of this
 furnace will be used by the Illinois Steel works, Chicago.
 It Is safe to say basic iron will be turned out in immense quantities by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad conn pany in future.

DAN STUART'S PLAN.
He Will Bring Of the Fight in Nuevo Laredo if the Railroad Company Will Fix Up
 the Bull Ring.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 2.-James Campbell, a business man of this city to- day received telegram from President Dan Stuart of the Florida Athletic club, stating that if the railroads interested in having the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight take place at Nuevo Laredo, Mex, would stand the expense of enlarging the bull fight arena at that place he would favor- ably consider pulling the fight off there if it cannot come off at Dallas Campbell is the owner of a concession for prize fighting in Nuevo Laredo, which he ob- tained few days ago from the state of Tamaulipas, Mex. He returned yester- day from Dallas, where he had confer ence with President Stuart and made the proposition for the fight to take place in Nuevo Laredo before the Florida Ath- letic club. The matter is now in the hands of the International Great Western and Mexican railway.

temporarily disposed of as previously narrated, a resolution was submitted by MT. Davenport of Tennesse, expressing gratitude to the bishops for their pas toral of October 18 1894, and declaring that the house adopted as a true and catholic definition of the doctrines of the holy scriptures, and further asking that the pastoral be reissued.
 Half dozen delegates seeked the rec ognition of the chair, but an objection by Rev. pr. Greer of New York was made and the matter was presented on the calendar without action.
 An adjournment was then taken until Thursday morning. While the deputies were in session the house of bishops or ganized in Knickerbocker hall, adjoining Gethsman church, which had been fitted up with desks. In the absence of the bishop of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Bishop Whpple, the senior bishop in at tendance, presided, and Bishop Doano was elected as chairman or vlce-presl- dent. For two conventions this honor had been conferred upon Bishop Nicely of Maine, but the rules of the house Dr. Hart of Hartford was chosen as sec retary. After the announcement of deaths since the last meeting of bishops house, Thomas of Kansas Howe of Penn sylvania, the archbishop of Van Ruperts- land and the bishop of Qu Appelle were appointed to present the greetings of the Church of England in Canada.

CULBERSON HAS WON.
THE LEGISLATURE IS WITH HIM
Corbett, fitzsmmons and Other Fighters Must Seek Other Fields More Friendly
 to Their Line of Business.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 2.-Corbett and Fitz- simmons must find another place than Texas to pull off their fight for the pro- posed championship of the world.
 The legislature, by a vote that was practically unanimous in the senate and only little less in the house. passed the bill prohibiting prize fighting and thus accomplished the purpose for which the governor assembled them In special SeS- sion.
 The vote by which this was carried furnishes the strongest proof of the sen timent of the state with reference to prize fighting. The only rallying point of the minority was opposition to the emergency clause, which carried the bill into immediate effect. Certain numbers of the members honestly regarded this as an injustice to such of the citizens of Dallas as had spent large sums in an- ticipation of the fight and opposed it for that reason alone. Their arguments were not effective, however, and the vote in the house on the final passage of the bill showed but votes in opposition, with 107 in it's favor. In the senate the bill was carried with only one negative vote pn the 27 that were cast.
 The senate made quick work of the measure. It had taken recess until 3 D. m. in order that the Dallas people might be given a full hearing by the ju- dietary committee. Within fifty-five min utes after reassembling the bill was passed. The work in the house was not so expeditions. The house is the larger body and several members desired to be heard upon the senate bill, which was substituted for the house bill, then pend ing. Amid applause, a number of amend ments were offered. Several were adopt ed, but these do not change the measure in any material way. except to make it still more effective. As a result of these amendments it will be returned to the senate tomorrow. but its adoption in amended form will be delayed no longer than necessary to call the roll It will then be sent to the governor, and when his signature shall have been attached it will become a law.
 The bill makes prize fighting a felony and imposes a punishment upon the principals for every infra ction of the law by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not less than two and not more than five years.

IT IS DANGEROUS.
The Present Rapid Advance in Cotton May Cause Sudden Reaction, Says
 the Guardian.

Manchester Oct. 2.-The Guardian in its commercial article says: The ad- vance in the price of cotton has resulted in a general raising of quotations above those current on Friday. Where full rates are strictly adhered to, the transac- tions are extremely limited such rates being paid over to fill urgent orders. The feeling is widespread that the pres ,ent situation In the cotton market is dangerous and that the advance has been so rapid that sudden reaction is immi- nent. The demand for India is gener ally unsatisfactory. but there have been occasional transactions and especially in favorite cloths or where sellers were will ing to accept relatively low figures. The Indian and foreign markets declining to follow the advice threatens a stoppage of the looms, which has already begun Yarns are firm at full rates and buyers are barely able to pay the prices demand ed by sellers.

THE B|G SHOW IS IN SHAPE Atlanta's Exposition Is Now Prac-

 Sight.
ATTENDANCE IS INCREASING
SURPRISE IN THE SHAPE OF A WEDDING

Atlanta, Oct. 2-The Minnesota Press association, 200 strong, reached Atlanta this morning and were escorted in body to the exposition grounds and extended all the courtesies.
 A lunch had been prepared for them on the roof of the garden of the forestry building, after partaking of which the editors dispersed over the grounds to see all the sights of the great show. After seeing the many buildings and witness ing the unique sights of the midway they witnessed the grand pyrotechnic dis play of Pains fireworks at night on the north end of Clara meer.
 One of the events In connection with the visit of the Minnesota Press associa- ton to the Cotton States and 1nterna- tional exposition was the marriage of M. J. Bowling, editor of the Star Farmer, Renville, Minn., to Miss Jennie Borce- wick, who also accompanied the press association. The marriage occurred this evening at the Oriental hotel, the couple deciding that as this was Minnesota day at the exposition they would celebrate 1t by nuptal ceremonies. The marriage was an entire surprise to the whole party but many of them got wind of the affair and attended the ceremonies which were performed by a prominent minister.
 Gov. w. c. Oates of Alabama who passed through Atlanta today, visited the exposition and expressed himself as being wonderfully surprised at the ex- tent and magnificence of the fair which Atlanta has prepared. He said it was far beyond the expectation of the public at large, and nothing greater than the Att 1anta exposition had ever been seen In this country, outside of the Worlds fair. The electrical display at night on the do- mestic buildings, lighted with thousands of incandescent lights, Is in Itself worth a visit to Atlanta.
 The attendance for the past two days has been excellent. and people are pour ing in from all directions. The exposi- ton is practically complete. with the ex- ception of few displays, which have not yet been placed. and everything now is about ready for the public.
 Among other displays which have been delayed for few days. but which are now ready, are the displays in the annex to the transportation building. where some of the finest locomotive engines and trains of cars which have ever been ex- hibited are put in place.

 The morning session of the court today was taken up with the examination of students of Cooper Medical college, among them being half a dozen under lady students. They were all asked if they had answered for Durant at the roll call after Dr. Cheney's lecture on April B. the day of Blanche Lamonts disap- pearance, but no one gave reply in the affirmative.
 The most peculiar fact elicited was that not one of the students examined had any positive recollection of any one else being present at the lecture except Dr. Cheney and MT. Gray, who called the roll
