AN EXPOSITION
For Nashville the Latest Move-Ques- tion of Congressional Appropri-
 ation and National Exhibit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Messrs. J. NJ. Head and Thomas J. Tyner of Nashville, Tenn, representing the company which proposes holding an exposition in that city next year, appeared before the sub-com- mittee of the house appropriation commit- tee today. Both gentlemen spoke against the condition imposed in the bill which re- quires that the company shall guarantee to raise $750, ,O00 for the purpose of the exposi- ton before the government appropriation is made.
 It was argued on the part of some of the members of the committee that the bill would have to be stronger before the full committee in the house and show the exposition to be in good financial con- dition, and that it would have to insure greater safety to the government exhibit. The committee showed a willingness to strike out the provision if desired, but Representative Washington of Tennessee, who has the matter in charge, stated, how ever, tbat he would not insure favorable action by the appropriation committee or the passage Of the measure through the house if this change were made In the bill, and the understanding is that it will not be made.
 It was decided to strike out of the bill the amendment which requires the exposition management to give bond for the safe re- turn of the government exhibit, inasmuch as thls point IS covered In the bill as Orlg1- nally presented. The subcommittee showed an indisposition to increase the ap propration for the government exhibit be- yond $125 ,000, as that sum will, in their judgment, be ample.
 The government exhibit at Nashville will be the same as that at Atlanta, and the only expense will be in forwarding the articles to Nashville and erecting the build ing. It was also suggested that the gov- ernment is likely to be called upon for ap- propriations from time to time for similar state expostions and that it is we'll to es- tablish the precedent of not expending more than s126, ,000 for such purposes.

A MARRIAGE AT GREENSBORO OF MORE
 THAN PASSING INTEREST.

A MARRIAGE AT GREENSBORO OF MORE
 THAN PASSING INTEREST.
 GREENSBORO, Feb. 10.-[Special Corre- spondence. Ion February the Methodist church at Greensboro presented scene of rarest loveliness, the occasion being the marriage of MT. Charles L. Stickney to Miss Mary winifred Slede. The wind had blown a perfect gale all day, yet the great popularity of the contracting parties was sufficient to draw society en masse to the scene of the marriage. Here the bright ness, warmth and beauty were in happy contrast with the extreme chill and gloom on the outside. Exquisitely chaste were the decorations, the color scheme being white and green. Just within the chancel a stand of calla lilies, ever typical of grace and purity, lent an air of softness and beauty to the pyramid of stately palms, ', ferns and trailing evergreens. The charm. ing effect was heightened by the soft ra- lamps and candelebra, with their silken shades of snowy white.
 At the appointed hour, 3:30 p. m., the swelling strains of Mendelssohn's march heralded the approach of the bridal party. W. Bondurant, J. D. Stinehart and F. P. Jones, advanced up the aisles, and cross- ing took their places about the chancel. They were followed by the attendants, Joe Stlckney With MISS MarEaret Castleman, Lee Sledge with Miss Laura Sledge, Lane Castleman with Miss Mary Peterson, Alex Sledge with Miss Delle Sledge, E. L. Stickney with Miss Octavia Sledge. The maid of honor, Miss Fidie Sledge, preceded the bride, who, leaning on the arm of her father, Col. Alex Sledge, appeared exceedingly lovely in her trailing robe of rich white silk, with cheffon garni- ture, The soft folds of her veil were ar- tistically fastened by pale bride roses, and she carried shower bouquet of the same beautiful flower, with white violets. They were met at the altar by the groom and MT. s. P. Stickney, and as the music hushed into faint sweet murmur Rev. F. M. Peterson pronounced the words that united this young couple and connected two fam lilies of social prominence and position. The bride is possessed of all those traits that make womanhood ideal. Beauty, grace, culture and dignity crown a nature of raro sweetness and strength. The groom is young man of sterling worth and of fine business capacity. He is indeed for prize he has won.
 The bridesmaids were gowned in French organdie and carried punches of La France roses.
 After the ceremony the party and near relatives repaired to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Peterson, where an elegant collation. was spread.
 At 4:30 MT. and Mrs. Stickney left for Atlanta, followed by the best wishes of hosfa of friends

MINERS CONVENTION,
Now in Session in Columbus, ( Down on Sovereign and Hayes. Powderly. Convention
 Failure.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1.-The miners' Knights of Labor convention began at II a. m. in Werthwein's hall with forty dele- gates In attendance. Master Workman Phil H. Penna called for the report of the committee on credentials. There was no contest.
 The report of the New Orleans delegates was then called for. Around this report all interest centers. The delegates will ad- vocate the withdrawal of the miners from the general assembly of the Knights of Labor on the ground of Sovereign's and Hayes alleged high handed action in ex- cluding them from that convention.
 Neither Mir. Sovereign nor Mir. Hayes is here, but they have friends in the conven- tion who will make fight in their inter- est. The impression is that the resolution will be adopted.
 Secretary Patrick Mci3ryde occupied all the forenoon in making the report for the excluded delegates, and denounced Sov- ereign and Hayes in savage terms. The much- talked-of seceders' conference, at which it was expected new organization in opposition to Sovereign and Hayes would be launched, proved a fzzle. Only five del- egates outside of the miners are here. They are Charles R. Martin and Hugh O'Reilly, representing District Assembly No. 72 of Northwestern Ohio; Hugh Cavanaugh and John Molloy, representing District No. AZ, Cincinnati, and James l.. Miehaels of Glass Workers Local Assembly No. BOO, Pittsburg. The miners delegates are giv- ing them no encouragement and their scheme to start new legion will fall flat. The miners say they have had enough of dual organizations.
 Carl Brown, General Coxey's late lieu tenant, is here by special invitation of the miners of the Massiilon district to attend the convention. He has been invited to make speech before the local trades as- sembly tonight.
 At the afternoon session Messrs. Martin, Cavanaugh, Molloy, O'Reilly and Michaels, the leaders of the secession movement, were admitted to the conven- tion to address the delegates on the ques- tion of the new organization. The gen. eral opinion among the delegates Is that Phillip H. Penua will be elected president on the first ballot, but the reelection of Secretary Patrick McBryde is considered doubtful. w. c. Pearse, secretary of the Ohio miners, is his strongest opponent.

THE DEBs CASE WILL HAVE TO BE CONE
 OVER AaAIN-AFTER PULLMAN.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-It is probable that the case of the United States against Eugene V. Debs and others will have to be begun all over again before new jury on account of the continued illness of Juror J. O. Coe.
 At the opening of court this morning Judge Grossoup announced that he him. selfs had been to see MT. Coe, and that 1t was his opinion that the sick juror would not be able to leave his bed for at least two weeks and, perhaps, not then. Counsel for both sides had a consultation with Judge Grosscup in the latter's chan bers on the advisability of going on with eleven jurors.
 It was the best judgment of the counsel, with the exception, of District Attorney Black, that this could be done without in- validating the trial, and in this opinion informally concurted. All the testimony of the government, is in and part of that for the defense. Tho trial has been in pro- gress for over two weeks. Both sides are would go on if 1t could be done legally.
 It was suggested that another juror be selected and permitted to read the proceedings up to date and make oath that he had fair knowledge of them, but it was decided that this could not be done.
 The defense is still after George M, Pull man. Secretary Weinheimer of the Pull man company has been subp@naed to tell what he knows about MT. Pullman's al- legged dodging of service. In the meantime the defense has obtained positive informa- tion that the missing president will return to Chicago and testify without giving them further trouble.

THE BELMONT SYNDICATE PREPARING TO
 MEET THEIR OBLIGATION.
 NEW YORK, Feb. u.--The Belmont bond syndicate began the deposit of gold today, s500,000 being deposited by the Chase National bank in the United States assay office, and S1,do0,000 was received from another bank, supposed to be the Fourth National, after business hours, but wns placed in store by the superintendent of the,assay office.
 The Washington authorities notified United s ates Assistant Trea Jordan thatuli gold deposited on account Of the bond syndicate must be deposited at Inc assay office and accepted as bullion. The government will only credit the syndicate for the actual weight of gold coinage ac- cepied. It was niso decided today by the Washington authorities that certificates of deposits could bsissued on receipt Of gold, which should bear the same interest as the bond, issued. For this reason the banks will deposit gold before the bonds are is. sued. The bonds are to bear the date of February l, and the depostor Of gold will receive credit TOT interest from the date of the deposit, which will be figured in the prIce Of the bonds.

NOT REApY no SELL OUT.


 Secretary Howard of the Massachusetts Mule Spinners' Association seems to think that the South expects the Massachusetts cotton mills to move down here in body. He contends that mill stocks up there are selling at high figure.
 No sensible man in the South believes that the New England mills will tear np and come South in lump. The South only expects 10 share with them their profits. The fact that mill stocks sell we'll up there goes to show that they will sell we'll down here. If cotton manufacturing IS profit. able in one section, it will be in the other. The Springfield Republican on this point says:
 St. Louis and thousand places in the South seem to have heard that Massachusetts was going out of the manufacturing business. They are making preparations to come here and buy up the business in job lots with offers of cheap labor, remission of taxes, etc. They are little previous. Massachusetts is not selling out and is not going to sell out. Its sign is still out an d business will go on at the old stand as usual.
 In proof whereof consider the figures given in Dockham's textile report just published. It shows for the United States net increase in cotton spindles since February, 1902, of $40 ,319, of which Massachusetts nas 3I2 ,736 to her credit. The nearest approach to this gain made by any one State was by North Car olna, with an increase of 146, ,290 spindles-a significant gain to be sure, but hardly indica- tive of Massachusetts, retirement from the field. This State is credited with total of 7,16o, 4so cotton spindies, against IT ,126, AIS for the whole country, or nearly one-half or the total Rhode Island coming next with 2,076 665 spindies. Massachusetts also has more wool cards and worsted combs at work than any other State, and has been increasing its capacity in woolen manufacture in the past two years.
 This does not look much like retirement from active business. St. Louis and Shreye- port and the other places must wait awhile longer yet before they get the chance of pick ing up some of the broken pieces of Massa- chusetts' manufacturing supremacy.

PILOTS IN TROUBLE.

THE BAD WEATHER FORCES SOME TO MAKE
 OCEAN VOYAGES.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The harbor pilots have had their share of the discomfort and peril incident to the late severe weather.
 Fourteen boats of the New York and four of the New Jersey fleet are still out at sea. and from most of them no report has been received. The crews and pilots oD board number nearly 200. The J. H. Stafford was doing station duty outside the bar, but on Friday stood out to sea to escape being blown ashore. She has not returned, and six pilots, who took vessels over the bar on Saturday, were compelled to stay on the ships and make the ocean voyage.
 The position of almost every buoy in the harbor has been changed by drifting ice, which is already another difficulty the pilots have to contend with.
