THE TEMPLARs' CONcLAvE.

The Savannah Knights Trip Chang
ed by the City of Macon Accident.
A letter received by Capt. Purse FROM
Mr.. c. S. COnnerat. who is now in Bos-
ton, states that great preparations are
being made there for the reception Of the
Knights Templar who VIII attend the
trienniel conclave next week. Mr.. Con-
nerat says that it is expected that there
viii be $1,000 to 1000 knights in line on
the day of the parade, and the anticipa-
tions are that there viii be from 100000
to 10000 visitors in the city.
The Savannah knights, who had ar
ranged to leave for Boston by the City
of Macon, are slightly worried because
the Macon viii not be Hoie to make the
trip on account of the accident which
occurred TO her on her recent trip in the
Delaware. The knights Will probably
take the NacOochee to New York on the
2Sd, and go from there TO Boston by rail.
knights from interior points have been
passing through the city several days en-
route to Boston by the steamship lines
Mr.. Connerat also stated in his letter
that he had seen the officers of the An
Client and Honorable Artillery of BOs-
ton in reference to their proposed south
ern trip and found that the company
would only be absent from Boston five
days and would not come any further
south than Richmond. The Pennsylvania
railroad, Mr.. Connerat said, took a COM
mittee of five members Of the artillery
from Boston and Richmond at its own ex-
pense in order to induce them to make
the trip. The officers of the Ancient and
Honorable said that they would be de-
lighted to visit Savannah at the first
opportunity.

OGLETHORPEs MAY GO TO RICH
MOND.
To Attend the Davis Monument Ger
emonies Next Spring.


emOnies Next Spring.
1t is not unlikely that Savannah will be
represented at the ceremony of laying the
corner stone of the monument to express
ident- Jefferson Davis, at Richmond, next
May, during the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, by one of its most
honored military organizations.
The corner stone of the monument will
be laid with imposing ceremonies. The
veteran. members of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry have been quietly talking over
for some time the possibility of the COM
pany being present and Capt Rockwell
has been asked to bring the matter be-
fore it for consideration.
Nearly all of the southern states are
expected to be represented at Richmond
largely by their best military organiza-
tions. In view of the fact that the Ogle-
thorpes were the first company in the
confederacy to offer their services to Pres
ident Davis, and were the first accepted
by him, carrying 101 men to Richmond,
there forming the old Eighth Georgia,
which served throughout the entire con-
fict in the army of Northern Virginia, it
is peculiarly appropriate that they should
be present on that occasion as represent
tatives of their city and state.
There are now living about sixty vet
Grams of the company during the long
struggle, nearly forty of whom live in and
around Savannah. Should they attend the
corner stone laying they would go as a
body escorted by the company as it exists
to-day.

TO GO TO ALASKA.
Ensign Crosse to Join the U. S. Steam
err Pinta at SitI<a.

Ensign E. N. Crose, U. S. N, hydro
grapher in charge of the photographic sta
ton, has been detached from duty at Sa-
vannah and ordered to the United States
steamer Pinta at Sitka. Alaska. His or
ders relieve him from duty here Aug. 81.
He will join the Pinta Oct. II. During
September he will be on leave of absence.
His successor has not been named. Mrs.
Crosse will leave for Cincinnati this morn
ing to spend month and will go with her
husband to Sitka.
Mr.. Crosse has been in charge of the
photographic Office here since year ago,
having succeeded Ensign Scales, who was
detached to join the Machias now in the
east. He had charge of the erection Of the
time ball and other improve
ments, and during his conduct of the
Office it has been the means of collecting
and disseminating great deal of valuable
information.
Mr.. Crosse has made many warm friends
during the time he has been in Savannah,
who will regret that he has been ordered
elsewhere. The Pinta is one Of the smaller
ships of the navy, and is stationed at Sitka
for emergency duty. The duties of its off,
ces are less arduous and monotonous than
cruising duty, and.to those who enjoy the
latitude the station is a most desirable
one.

VENEZUELAN 70 COME HERE.
The Red ID. Line VIII Call at sRvan-
nah From La Guayra.

nah From La Guayra.
1t looks now as if Gen. l. w. Avery's plan
to have the Venezuelan visitors to the At
lanta exposition pa-s through Savannah is
assured.
Capt. Purse received a telegram yester-
day from Gen. Avery stating that the Red
d line, running between New York and
La Guayra, would land Venezuelan visi-
tors at Savannah, when the excursion par
ties number twenty or more persons. A
low rate of fare has been offered as an
inducement to bring the Venezuelans to
the exposition. Capt. Purse stated to
Morning News reporter to whom he show
ed Gen. Avery's telegram, that he had
seen the letter upon which the telegram
was based and knew II to be authentic.
There is no doubt that the Red d line
will run its steamers in here" said Capt.
Purse. provided they get the passengers
in Venezuela, and considering the interest
which has been awakened in that country
recently in the Atlanta exposition and our
section of the country, generally, by the
visits of Congressman Livingston, Gen.
Avery and others, 1t is hardly to be doubt
ed that there will be a number of visitors
to the exposition from that country"
Capt. Purse has also received several re-
plies from the steamship agents whom he
addressed on the subject of bringing Euro
pean excursions to Savannah en- route to
the exposition this fall. Several of the re-
plies state that the agents have no doubt
of the capacity of the Savannah river to
accommodate their vessels, and that they
would be very glad to run such excursions,
but that from previous experience with the
European excursion travel they know II
would be useless to attempt to turn the
stream this way. They have not yet been
able to turn the European pleasure travel
to this country and have little hope of
doing so lust now.

BXCORIATED The GOVERNOR
ASSEMBLYMAN MONROE "ROASTS"
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF
ARKANSAS.
LIVELY RUMPUs IN THE LEGISLA-
TURE OVER THE DEFEAT OF
A PET BILL.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 6.-Intense
excitement was felt in the House this
afternoon when Mr.. Monroe of this county
rose to question of personal privilege
and bitterly denounced Governor Clarke
in connection with the Governors criticism
Of the House for defeating the Railroad
Commission bill
Monroe made hot speech and excoriated
the Governor in unmeasured terms. He
accused Clarke of making promises when
running for Attorney General to collect
back taxes from the telegraph and railroad
companies, but had failed to fulfill the
promise. Monroe continued by saving
that he called on the Governor yesterday
on public business and was insulted by the
Governor, who refused to see him.
In the course of Monroe's bitter speech
he was repeatedly cautioned by the chair
to use milder language, but he paid no at
tention and continued to fay the Gov
ernor. He concluded by saying among
other things:
81 do not say anything here that I will
not say to any man anywhere / feel like
standing upon this floor and branding that
man who insinuates anything against this
DOuy do IAldulOuS lldT. l. nave as muCh
or more evidence to prove that Clarke is a
rascal than he has to prove the members
of this Legislature are"
A reporter asked Governor Clarke this
evening what he had to say in reply to
Monroe's attack on him. He said:
"In answer to your inquiry l have to
say that it is not expected of me that I
should notice every cur that banks at nv
heels. The one l refer to is already in
possession of my opinion of him."
In the House this afternoon Butler
offered resolution ordering the Sergeant
alarms to eject from the House the rep
resentatives of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal because of criticisms in that paper
on the course of the members who opposed
the railroad commission bill. Pandemo-
MUM reigned when the resolution was
read, and the House deferred action until
tomorrow by the advice of cool-headed
members.

THE GOVERNOR AS AN EXPERT IN
AVOIDING DISTASTEFUL
INTERVIEWS.

Governor Budd slipped quietly irto town
yesterday morning and as quietly slipped
out in the evening. He was here in con-
nection with the Fair will contest, having
been retained some time ago as special
counsel by Charles Lewis Fair, the con-
testant.
The Governor went directly to the office
OF George A. knight, in whose law library
he spent the morning consulting authori-
ties. In the afternoon he went to the Cali
fornia Hotel, where he shut himself up in
a room with Mr.. Fair and a number OF
lawyers and refused to see all visitors.
The few politicians who knew he was in
town gathered about the hotel and anx-
iously Rugged their hopes for an interview.
But the Governor was not sat home" and
load of disappointment was carted away
in many breasts. He quietly left the hotel
shortly after o'clock, and an hour later
was on his way to Sacramento, in company
with Porter Ashe

KEEPING THEIR C0NrRAcr.
Syndicate Bond Buyers Depostting Gold
as Fast as Required.

Syndtcdte BOnd-Baiyers Depositi7Q Gold
as Fast as Required.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The seeming
falling-off of 50, DOC, 900 in the gold reserve
as shown by the district treasury state
ment, was the subject of anxious tele.
graphic inquiries sent to-day by the treas
ury officials to the sub-treasury at New
York. The replies were to the effect there
had been no loss of gold either for export
or otherwise and that the seeming loss
was occasioned by an error in bookkeep-
ing by which gold received on account of
bonds had been credited to the general
gold account.
Mr.. Jordan, the sub-treasurer at New
York, and the superintendent of the assay
office are both temporarily absent and it is
expected some one unfamiliar with the
complicated details of the bookkeeping de-
partment had made wrong entry. The
matter will be Strengthened out to- night.
The treasury officials repudiated the public
statement that they were dissatisfied with
the rate at which gold was being deposited
under the recent bond contract. On the
contrary, they say the syndicate has more
than complied with the requirements of
the contract in this particular, and as a
matter of fact the Government prefers that
the gold should come in slowly.
The contract calls for deposit by foreign
bidders of not less than 300, 900 ounces per
month and this limit has been consider
ably exceeded from the first.

at the Indian Bureau There were two
factions represented, the full-bloods and

terpreter accompanied them They wanted
the tribal lists purged, claiming that many
persons not entitled to enrolment had
been placed on the list through corrupt
means; sought to have the offspring of the
union of white man and an Indian
woman, born after the passage of the act
of 1888, recognized as Indians instead of
whites, as prescribed by law, and also dis

The bureau officials will cooperate with
them as far as possible in purging the
lists, and will make an investigation of
the matter through an inspector.

BERING SEA AW4RDS.
STR Richard Webster Will Question the
British Government.

LONDON, March THE Times saws that
exceptional interest attaches to the ques-
ton that Sir Richard Webster, member
of Parliament for the Isle of
Wight, Division OF Hampshire, and
one of the British counsel before the
Boring Sea tribunal of arbitration, will
put to the Government to-day (Thursday)
question in regard to the negotiations
for the settlement with the United States
of British sealers' claims for seizure prior
to the arbitration proceedings.
Sir Richard will point out that the award
of the tribunal was adverse to the United
States, the only point unsettled being the
amount of compensation, and that Canada
had agreed to the amount she was willing
to accept in full settlement of her claims.
Therefore, he will ask whether, in view
of the great and growing discomfort in
Canada, the Government proposes to take
any action, if so, what steps, to settle the
dispute, either by obtaining the payment
by the United States of the amount agreed
to or, if necessary, by arbitration.
