ST. JOHN TALKS.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 24.-Vice-Pre
ST. John, of the Seaboard Airline, was
interviewed by Virginian reporter to-
day with reference to the interview in a
Washington paper yesterday. He said
that the reporter, perhaps unwittingly,
drew upon his imagination to limited
extent in connection herewith. Mr.. ST..
John states that he positively declined to
answer many of the questions put
to him, and especially those concerning
possible cut rates in the future and the
one of through cars, but says that the
reporter is absolutely correct in the
statement that he would enforce in the
future, as in the past, such policy as
ought be deemed wise and just by the
president and directors of the company"
and in the other statement, that the
Southern knew how to obtain peace, and
he could have added the other state
ment made, that the Seaboard desired
honorable peace at all times"
Mr.. ST. John states that the Seaboard
has no grievances so far as he knows
against any other lines. the efforts of the
Seabord's competitor to convey such i'm
pressions to others, to the contrary not
withstanding. Further than this, the re-
ported interview is entirely correct so
far as 1t has been brought to his atten-
ton without having seen the original
publication.

TENNESSEANS RES0LUTE.
The Fair Name of Tennessee Has Been
Malicious1y Slandered and Democrats
Demand Contest of Taylor's
Election.

Nashville, Nov. 24-At a meeting of
prominent democrats today, the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
"The good name of Tennessee has been
most foully aspersed by repeated publi-
cations in the New York papers, especial
ly the New York Post, the New York
Sun, the Mail and Express, and other
papers, and by publicatio emanating
from men in high position like ]. Sterling
Morton, secretary of the department of
agriculture, and which charges have been
widely circulated in all parts of the
United States, to the effect that the dem
ocratlc party in Tennessee had perpe-
trated wholesale frauds in the late cleo
tion. Believing these charges to be
groundless, and feeling keenly the indig-
nifty and realizing that such charges must
be based on information furnished by
Tennessee republicans more concerned
about their pledges to carry the state in
consideration of money advanced than
they were about the good name Of the
state, we will not silently and with
craven spirit submit to the insult. The
good name Of Tennessee Is dear to us,
and there never was stain cast upon
her proud escutcheon until the republican
her politics by the use of money.
Feeling as citizens of Tennessee that
the slander is doubly grievous, because
of the shame and disgrace put upon the
state by the unprecedented use or money
to defeat the democratic party in the late
election, and that in all probability the
men who used the money sent here to
buy up the state are the very men who
are now originators of this whole SLAM
der, therefore, as citizens of Tennessee,
though the state is put on the defensive
by these vile ISLANDERS which have been
so widely circulated, we shall insist that
the good people of the state, especially
the democratic party, assume the ag-
gressive and we demand that the re-
publican party shall make good it's
threat to contest the election of Hon. r..
L. Taylor to the office of governor or
stand convicted at the bar Of public opin-
ion Of wilfully and maliciously SANDER
ing the good name of the state. Should
that party demand an investigation, in
accordance with law, it will give the op-
portunity for judicial comparison Of
the relative fairness of two parties in
elections in this state and 1t will enable
us by proper proceeding to expose In all
its hideousness the vast sums Of money
drawn from abroad to corrupt the bal
lot box of Tennessee.
I'VE denounce as UNANIMOUSLY false the
wholesale character of the charges
election In this state. through the un-
paralleled use of money by the republi-
cans in the attempt to buy the result un-
doubtedly made 1t the most corrupt cleo
tion ever held in this state.

TO SETTLE NOTE ISSUE.

Madrid, Nov, PA dispatch to the
impartial from Havana says that in an
interview Gen. Weyler stated that he had
returned from the province of Pinar del
Rio owing to the necessity of settling the
question of the note issue of notes by
the Spanish bank and other urgent mat
ters. After these were settled he would
be ready tosreturn to the field.
He added that he did not believe that
Maceo had more than 5000 men, and that
these dere scattered in remote positions.
The object of the recent Spanish opera
tions had been the occupation of the hills
and passes and the cutting off of the
supplies of the insurgents. The few in
surgents in the province of Las Villas
and Havana were easily kept in check.
There were more rebels in Camaguey
than in Las Villas and Havana, but the
Spaniards had little to lose there. More
over, the object of the insurgents in gath
ering there might be to distract attention
from Maceo in Pinar del Rio. At any
rate, he would crush the rebellion in the
latter province before dealing with the
insurgents elsewhere.

A THANKS OFFERING.
For the Good Things That Have Happen
ed to the South.-Assurance of
Commercial and Railroad
Development.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 24.-The Manu-
facturer's Record publishes this week, as
appropriate to Thanksgiving Day, sew
eral hundred letters from leading busi-'
ness men, manufacturers, merchants and
railroad officials, throughout the south,
giving their views as to why the south
especially has many reasons for giving
thanks for material blessings. With only
two or three exceptions these letters give
a very hopeful outlook as to the general
feeling of improvement that exists in
business circles in all the southern states,
and show that the prospects are every
where favorable for increasing activity
in the present manufacturing interests,
for a large movement of population to
the south from the north and west and
liberal investments of outside capital in
southern enterprises.
Many railroad and Industrial undertake
ings that have been held In allegiance for
months are now being taken up and plans
matured for early construction. Farm
ers are reported to be less in debt than
for many years, the very heavy grain
crops and large production of meat dur
south almost seIf-sustaining in the way
of feed stuffs and thus Kept at home the
millions of dollars that have heretofer
gone west for corn and provisions. Par
ticular emphasis Is laid upon the grow
ing power of commerce from the south
ern ports, the magnitude of this busi-
ness showing that the south is to hold
a commanding position in our foreign
trade by virtue of the proximity of it's
ports to the central western region that
produce the grain and provisions for ex-
port as it now holds in iron and cotton
manufacturing.
While two out of the several hundred
letters take an unfayorable view of the
situation and do not look for much i'm
provement, the others are of a most
cheerful and hopeful character, and are
expressive of the many reasons why the
south has reason to give thanks for bles-
sings enjoyed, for dangers escaped and
for the bright promises of great indus
trial, commercial and railroad Develop
ment, and also for the assurance of
great southwark movement of popula-
