THE GEORGIAN VIEW.
A Ridiculous Bill introduced In the Legis.

Ridiculous Bill Introduced in the Legis-
ture.
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 29.-The Georgia
legislature has proven that true south
ern sentiment is not dead in the south.
That body has just killed bill by Mr..
Calvin, of Richmond county, which
provided for granting free licenses to
Yankee soldiers who might now be
living in the state. The DilI created
much surprise and was strongly con-
demned.
Two men spoke in favor of the bill,
but their speeches received little at
tention. Several men who opposed the
bill said that they loved the Union and
had no feeling of hostility against the
north or against the men who fought
against the south in the days of the
civil war. but they were unalterably
opposed to measure that would be a
reward for the men who came to
Georgia and burned the homes of the
people who are now expected to help
and pension the Union soldiers.
A number OF members spoke and
said that the national govern ment
made ample provision in the way of
pensions for the aid of the Union vet
Grams and they thought Georgia should
confine her aid to the men who bled in
her defense during the war. There
was no hostile sentiment uttered
against the north during the whole
progress of the argument, but the
members seemed to regard the bill as

special to the Times from Wichita
Kan, says:
Capt f. L. Hove has designated
January 10 as the day for his boom"
to move upon the Wichita reservation
if no action toward opening it shall be
taken by congress to that date. The
instructions of Secretary Bliss that
the Indian police be reinforced by
regular troops if necessary has made
Howe furious"
Damn the Indian police" said
Howe yesterday in advising his men.
''AlI we want is our rights according
to law, and the law allows us to go
into the Wichita mountains. We pro-
pose to SO about this matter peaceably.
We shall ask congress, when that body
convenes, to open the reservation, or
allow us to go into the mountains and
take claims. We shall wait reason
able time, and if our petition is
not granted we shall move upon the
land. I've got the men to do it and IL

VOLUNTARY CONFESSION.
Thos. ShackeIford Tells of the Cold
BIooded Murder of George
W. Taylor.

W. Taylor.
ST.. Louis, Nov. 29.-Thomas Shaclzel-
ford made voluntary confession to
Capt. OMalley last night of the part
he had taken in the cold-blooded muir
der of George w. Taylor. He impI-
Gated Nettie Taylor, wife of the dead
negro, and accused her OF administer
ing the dose of arsenic, which cansed
Taylor's death.
The woman admits nothing and re-
mains positive in the declaration that
she was innocent of any attempt to
kill her husband with poison. The
evidence against her, however, aside
from Shacke lford's statements, is very
strong.
The plot to murder Taylor was, ac-
cordiug to Shackleford's confession,
most deliberate, and the murder
ers were diabolicaIly persistent.
At least four or five large
doses of poison were given to the vic
tim during the four days that he lived
in horrible agony, after the first dose
was administered. The mother of the
murderess was to get him out of the
way, secure the 81, 900 insurance on his
life and then leave the city.

BIIssouri's Wickedest Man Tries to Commit
Suicide.

Suicide
LIBERTY, Mo-, Nov. 29.-Tn his cell
in the county Jail yesterday afternoon,
VIM. Carr, under sentence to be hanged
next month for drownitng his three
year-old child in the Missouri river,
tried to commit suicide by swallowing
a quantity of pounded glass. Although
two hypodermic injections were adj
ministered, Carr failed to vomit the
stuff, and it is not yet known what the
result will be. The county physician
thinks he will recover because of his
giant strength.
It appears that Carr had stolen
bottle of medicine from fellow priso-
ner, spilled the contents on the floor
and pounded the bottle into small par
ticles. These he drank in glass OF
water. When Deputy Sheriff Cave
and DIR. Sewer tried to administer the
injection, Carr fought like a fend,
threatening to brain Cave with chair
and was only conquered by being
cholzed until he was black in the face.
When finally overpowered Carr begged
the jail officers to choke him to death.
He will be placed in chains.
Since his sentence was pronounced.
two weeks ago, Carr has grown more
sullen daily and repeatedly expresses
a desire to be dead and ''over with it
ell !"

ALASKA'S NEEDS.
GOV. Brady, in an Interview, ForcibIy Pre-
sents Them.


SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 29.-In an in
terview. Gov. John G. Brady of Alaska
said:
The business men and officials of
Alaska are concerned in effecting some
changes or amplifcations of the laws
as they are at present in force. They
will combine to submit to congress a
proposition to authorize the ap-
pointment of committee which
will consider the needs of Alaska on
the ground. My idea is that the
committee should consist of a senator,
& represent tative and three bona fide
residents of Alaska. If we are able to
get committee something may be ac-
cOmplished for the practical good of
Alaska. Otherwise time devoted to
Alaska will be frittered away in the
consideration of individual bills of no
benefit to the country as a whole.
Many think Alaska should have ter
ritoriaI form of government. The OBJ
iections to this are manifold, chief
among them is the sparse population
of the country. A territory means
taxation, and the people are not
there 80 be taxed. 1t would be of
little avail to su bmit to congress resolu-
tiOns for change in the code now in
existence. These things must be in
vestigated by a committee which can
ascertain the needs of the people by
personal observation. We want an
extension of the land laws, the status
of the natives declared, the regulation
of the fish industry, the right of ap-
peal and laws for the preservation of
game. The smuggling evils must also
be dealt with by committee. Last
year 81, 900 gallons of Canadian w hisky
was smuggled into Alaska"
Gov. Brady thinks that Alaska will
be as great an agricultural and farm
ing country some day as mining one.
Gov. Brady's trip to this city is on
private business. He will not go to
Washington to attend the coming ses-
sion of congress, as has been reported.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. One of the

ting with the Chinese minister WI
Tinge FRANC, to bring into closer re-
lations the whole people and the peo-
pie of his own race, is shortly to be

corps of teachers from China and the
education of the Oh inese youth of this
city and coast in both English and
Chinese branches.
The Chinese government is prepared
to expend not less than SO, 900 in car
rying out this project and providing
for the permanent maintenance of the
school. Tuition will be strictly free,
but small charge may be 'made for
instruction in special branches. If
the experiment proves a success SINH

government in other sections of the

4 MvResR MYSTERY.
Cleared Up by a Horrible Recital OF BSs
tails OF How Mrs. Merry was Done
to Death by Her Husband

to Death by Her Husband.
CHIcAG0. Nov. as.-The mytery sur
rounding the disappearance of Mrs.
Pauline Merry from her home st so
Hope street was solved yesterday by
the confession of Thomas FL iclzey, who
was arrested on suspicion. Hickey
told revolving story of how Christie
pher Merry cholzed and beat his wife
week ago last Friday. Then, finding
it impossible to restore his wife to con-
seiousness, Hickey says that Merry de-
cided to put her ''out of her misery"
by beating out her brains with po-
ker.
The horrible story told by Hickey
was extorted from him after hours of
Questioning in the "sweat box"
Late yesterday afternoon he led
party of police to an uninitabited por~
ton of the city near Eighty-seventff
street and Western avenue, where
Mrs. Merry's body was found buried
beneath few inches of loose dirt by
the roadside. The disappearance of
Mrs. Merry excited almost as much IN.
terest as that of Mrs. Luetgert.
A week ago the police learned that
she had been made away with by her
husband at his cottage in Hope street.
Merry was peddler and owned sew
eral horses. When the police began
their investigation, a three -year-old
son of Merry's told them that his
father had killed his mother and had
lowered her body through a trap door
into the cellar. Following this clew
it was found that Merry had driven
away from his place Saturday morn
ing with a covered wagon, but no fur
ther trace of him has been discovered.
Thomas Hickey, an employe of the
stable where Merry kept his horses,
was put in the sweat box and yester-
day confessed that he and James
Smith had been present when Merry
beat and choked his wife. The three
men sat up Friday night and tried to
restore Mrs. Merry. On Saturday,
Merry, he says, decided to kill his
wife, which he did with poker. The
body was carted away and Merry al
though, still in the city, has success
fully eluded the police.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Secretary AL
ger said last night that he had not re-
ceiyed any letters from Gen. Miles of
the purport stated in the above dis
patch. Port Townsend is one of the
frontier sites at which the government
is contemplating making some i'm
provements in the way of Notifications.
The secretary suggests that the pres
ence there of engineer officers engaged
in making surveys may have given rise
to the impression that it was contem-
plated locating troops at that place.
