now at liberty. He went to Cuba for a New York paper. He had in his posses sion, 1t is reported. number of letters addressed to insurgent leaders, and when he got to Havana the Spanish authori- ties arrested him. took him across the river to Moro Castle and stripped him.
 He was searched, and documents, it is said, that would have made any other man target for a squad of Spanish sol- diers were found in his pockets and in his shoes. The authorities, however, looked upon Solomon as too innocent a person to courtmartial and shoot, so they sent him back to Havana under guard and tucked him away in the second cabin of the Saratoga, which sailed at o'clock the following morning.
 Solomon did not exhibit the wisdom of his Biblical namesake," said Captain Boyce of the Saratoga this morning. He seems to be as innocent as a child unborn, and as the Spanish took that view of the affair he was let go. Solo, mon is an extremely lucky youth

The Teachees' Recital at the Judson-A
 Populist Proposition.
 Marion, Jan. 18.-(Special)-In spite of the inciement ewather the teachers re- cital at the Judson last night was very largely attended and at the close of the concert the audience was more enthusi- astic in their expressions of praise and approval than we have ever seen them on any similar occasion.
 There is no probability of the demo- cratic executive committee accepting the proposal of the populist committee of this county to hold joint primary of all the white voters of the county. The demo- crats have no idea of abandoning their party organization in any such fragrant manner They have done what they could and all they could to reconcile and conciliate those good men who are at heart democrats, but who have for va rious reasons not voted with the dem ocrats during the past two or three years Such men as these have been in vited and urged to return as democrats to the democratic party; to vote in the democratic primaries and then vote for the nominees in the general election. This Is fair and honorable to all concerned: {: but there can be no monkeying with those who persist in calling themselves populists and who propose to continue their connection with the populist party.

 .GOV OATES OFFICIAL VISIT Annual Inspection of Convict
 Coal Miners Completed. COALBURG SEEN YESTERDAY Something About the Prison Accommodations
 The Situation and Environment as Af-
 fecting the Prisoners Health.

State Herald reporter accepted an i invitation to accompany Governor Oates and other state officers on visit of in- Spection to Coalburg. The party con sisted ot the governor, MT. Thomas Sed- don, president of the Sloss Iron and Steel company; MT. J. w. Castleman, general manager of the Sloss Iron and Steel company; Commissioner Ross C. Smith; State Mine Inspector J. D. Hillhouse; Mir. R. II. Dawson, president of the board of state convict commissioners; J. w. Grayson, convict commissioner; Dr. F. P. Lewis, the prison physician; MT. R. P. McDavid. correspondent; D. w. Me Iver of the Montgomery Advertiser; l Messrs. F. P. O'Brien and Fergus Me Carthy.
 Engineer Moseley, with engine No. 766, pulled out of the union depot about l0 o'clock. In a short time the party reached Coalburg. Here they were met by Chief Mining Engineer Priestly Toul-
 min and Super. .ntendent George Shirling. It was a gloomy and forbidding day, but everything about the mines wore a cheerful and business-like appearance. Notice the difference in the ways these two sets of cars are loaded, re- marked one of the party to the reporter. Ono set of cars were loaded to their full capacity, while the others were lightly freighted with coal "These," said the instructor, pointing to the latter, were loaded by convicts. It is task work. The others were loaded by free labor at so i..uch ton."
 The party did not make the descent in the mines, as the governor had seen that feature of mining operations the day be- fore at Pratt mines
 The prisoners sleeping quarters. kitch- ems and dining rooms were visited next. Everything possible has been substanti- ally arranged on hygenic principle. The long rows of baths were especially interesting. Every day at the close of work each convict is required to take bath When the weather is cold hot wa ter may be had if desired. Clean cloth ing Is then furnished him from the prison laundry and he Is then admitted to sup per. The sleeping halls are ventilated thoroughly and the beds are swung from stout iron rods. They are also arranged in rows. Clean bedding is furnished and the bedding aired as often as desirable. Altogether, the buildings, kitchens, din- ing halls and other conveniences do not misapply facetious remark made by one of the party that the Coalburg prisons present a striking likeness to well or dered summer resort.
 At 2 o'clock MT. Seddon invited the par ty to dinner, after which the return trip was made to the city.
 Governor Oates returned to Mentgom- cry yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
