The Mccall Bill Debated in tn 9
House-Storm az a Spectacle

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1896.-In the
House of Representatives today the Inau-
guration Committee claimed the flcor un-
der the order adopted yesterday, and Mr.
Bartholdt Rep, MOI called up for con-
sideration the Mccall bill, establishing
an educational test for immigrants in
the future. They must be able to read
and write some language before they will
be admitted
The bill applies only ito male immigrants,
and the parents of any person now resid-
ing in the United States or who may here
after be admitted shall not be excluded
because of inability to read or write

PRISON LABOR INSANITY.
Branding Goods Destroys Their Mar
kef-The Interetate Rlumder.

COLUMBUS, o., May 10. 1S96.-The A.
G. Patton Manufacturing Co., with offices
here and plants in Jeffersonville and
Muncie, Ind, has gone into the hands of
w. e. Joseph, of this city,, as receiver.
The action was voluntary, but Col. A. 6.
Patton. the principal owner has been
financially embarrassed for some time
He was engaged in manufacturing with
convict labor, and was the largest ern-
ployer of convicts at the Ohio prison,
and the first blow suffered by him was
through legislation requiring prison
made goods to be branded. The assets
are rated at $4,000 and liabilities fully
equal that sum.
Secretary Thomas D. Wells, of the
Board of State Prison Directors, who
last week transmitted to the Connec-
ticut Congressman a copy of the resolu
ton which the Board passed, urging
them to oppose the bill forbidding the
interstate transportation of prison-lnade
goods, has received letters of acknowl-
edgment from all the members of the
delegation with one exception
Nearly all the Congressman either ex-
press or intimate their sympathy with
the position taken by the prison board
and will doubtless oppose the measure.
On Friday Senator Platt introduced the
boards preamble and resolution into
the Senate, while Representative Rus
sell, of the Third district presented the
same to the House.

The Future Of the south.

The South is. large; it yet remains thinly
populated and practically undeveloped Great
as has been the industrial advance made, con-
siderable as appears the present immigration
movement. they but family foreshadow the
development now at hand If so much has
been done in the last thirty years under such
disadvantages and practically unaided by i'm
migration, what may we not expect when that
rich tide which has created the Empire States
of the Northwest Is turned in even greater
volume southward? Only the marvellous growth
Of the great West itself can guide the inn
agination in attempting the forecast and even
that must be surpassed. To the South un-
questionably belongs the future. In such an ex-
pansion of its population and wealth as even
single generation has witnessed in the West
its race problem must vanish. even though the
emigration of blacks should cease; sectional
lines must be blotted out and South and North
merged in the indivissble Union which is
Identity Of interest and conditions, as well as
of blood, of language and of history. The peo-
Ile of the South are really for this, the
more perfect Union, the prophetic aspiration
never the attainment-of the fathers; Louis

the North to come and share AL the wonder
that shall be-'s-Nay Forum

HILL OR LAuSBURG.
Rival Identifers Of the Colon
made Hotel Suicide Stick
to Their Claims.

NEW YORK, May 19, 1896.-The identi-
fication of the colonnade Hotel suicide
as Mrs. Hill was made more perfect
this morning by a visit to the Morgue
of III. f, Ricca, theatrical and musical
agent, by whom Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were
once employed Mr.. Ricca brought with
him photographs of Mrs. Hill in street
dress and in the stage costume of a
Mexican dancer
The photographs removed all doubts
from the minds of the Morgue authori-
ties. curious coincidence about Mr.
Ricca's visit is that his office at No 1853
West Twenty third street. is in the same
building with that of E. X. Pedrick. who
was the first to identify the suicide as
Clara J. Glenfield,
The wishes Of the suicide as to the dis
position of her body will be carried out.
1t will be cremated. Judge Hill Instructed
Undertaken Maloney to get the body and
attend to the preliminaa'es Mr. Maloney
is waiting for the Cor rs notification
that the Identification isN stisfactory. The
body will be taken from the Morgue to-
morrow and will be cremated within the
next two days.

PLUG VERSUS FINE CUT.
Tobacco Trust Gathering Its Ene-
mics Into the Fold.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 10, 1S96-It is not
at all unlikely that the fight between the
warning cigarette makers and the plug
tobacco>nakers will be called off at an
early date. In ST. Louis there are now
five of the leading tobacco manufacture
ers of Virginia, all of whom were enter
tanned at the expense of Liggitt & Myers
and the Drummond Tobacco Company.
They are John d. Horsely and H N Bur
roughs, of Lynchburg, Va, and.A S. Blu
ford, p. T. Conrad and J. D. Williams, of
Richmond.
While this delegation is made up of plug
tobacco manufacturers, it is said they
are here to arrange the basis of a settle
menti to be effected between the tobacco
concerns. On one side is the Cigarette
TRUST, manufacturing plug tobacco and
on the other is the plug tobacco men,
making cigarettes. The war has been on
ever since the trust went into the plug to-
bacco business several months ago. and
only short time ago there was a meet
ing of tobacconists in cflis city at which
it was intimated that both sides had
enough of the fight, and that each was
willing to quit if some means could be
found to do SO gracefully.
The local manufacturers who make about
one-third of the plug output of this coun-
try claim the visit of the Virginians has
no significance, and any effort to see the
visitors met with a reply that the gentle
men were not in their rooms.

SAILORS HARD FORTUNE.
Ship burned and NEen Left to Starve
Esy nn American Consul.

QUARANTINE, S. L., May 10, 1896.
Donkey engine man, Mohmann. a sailor
and an apprentice from the burned ship
Charles R. Flint arrived in port this
merning on board the German steamer
Catania, from Pernambuco The Flint
was formerly the British 4-masted bark
Cairniehill, and was burned off Cover
nors Island last fall. She was then, re-
built by Flint & Co.. and was rechris-
tened after the senior member of that
firm. She loaded case petroleum for
Shanghai and left ON about April /. Flint
Co. applied for American registry for
her, but failed to obtain it, and she was
put under the Niearaguan flag
Mohmann, who is an intelligent Ger
man, told the story of the burning of
the ship most graphically. 1t was four
o'clock on the morning of April q that
smoke was discovered in the lazarette
the ship at the time, and at once called
Captain Carver and piped all hands to
1lre quarters. Hose was stretched and
the pumps manned and an attempt was
made to flood the lazafette and drown out
the fire. The flames, however, baffled
the sailors, and it was soon seen that the
fire was making headway. The quarter
deck became too hot to stand on and
captain carver, fearing an explosion in
the ships immense cargo of case oil,
ordered all hands to take to the boats
Four boats were manned and the cap
tafn's wife, who had remained calm and
courageot during the fire, took her seat
by her Y sbands side and at 10 o'clock
in the t-9rning all four boats showed
off. Shortly afterwards an explosion
blew up the decks and the fire took COM
plete hold of the ship After four days
and six hours in the small boats, the
Pacific Mail steamer Newport, bound
from New York for Panama, hove in
sight, picked them up and ran them into
Pernambuco and landed them outside the
breakwater
into Nicaragua, and as there was no
Nicaraguan consul at Pernambuco, the
men had to shift for themselves. The
three who arrived today were sent on by
the German consul, all being German sub
jects, but the Americans in the crew
were refused transporta ton by the Amer
ican consul on the ground that the Nj
caraguan authorities were the proper
people to attend to that matter. The rnan.
were three days in a sailors home but
were turned adrift when their money
was spent and camped ON the beach near
where they came ashore.
