SILVER NOT THE
ONLY QUESTION.
Tom Watson Announces His Belief
That There Are
Others.
ALLUDES 10 The Mine OWNERS
Says Free Silver is Naturally Very Popular
with ThOm-His Position
Misunderstood

Atlanta, Ca, July 2S.-Tom Watson
has signed editorial in this weeks
issue of the Peoples Party Paper say
ing that his recent article on silver
was misinterpreted. He says he is
still and always will be a believer in
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l, but adds that there are
other issues than silver before the
country. He says:
awe are now, have ever been, and
always expect to be an earnest advo-
cate of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 16 to l, but we have not
dwarfed our mind to the belief that
the silver question is the only ques-
tiOn on earth. We contend 1t is no
disloyalty to the financial question to
point out to the people the evils
which exist in the system of federal
taxation and also in the system which
allsws few corporations to control
our highways and our markets."
In the same article he speaks of the
bonus on silver dollars with more can
dor than most free silver advocates
are won't to use. He says:
GA law which would take AZ cents
worth of silver apd make it worth 100
cents is naturally very popular with
the millionaIres who control the sill
yer mines. just as the same law is pop
ular with the people, because it would
materially increase the volume of
money, raise prices, make debts easier
to pay and enlarge the market of
labor"

GEORGIAN SUICIDES

Claimed to be Wealthy Turpentins Man
of Ware County.
Starke, Fla, July 2S-H. Crosby,
purporting to be wealthy turpentine
manufacturer of Waresboro, Ware
county, Ca, committed suicide here
at IL o'clock this morning. Crosby
came here unknown, with no creden-
tials, and claimed he was Baptist
preacher. He also claimed relation
ship with Senator A. Crosby. This.
however, is denied.
The suicide was married some weeks
ago to the eldest daughter of Richard
Reeves, of Ward City. Since that
time he has been regularly with
Starke real estate dealers, signing
contracts to be consummated at 2
o'clock today. The suicide seems to
have been premeditated.

BRITAIN SBIZES
HAWAIIAN ISLAND.
Sensational Move in the Annexa-
tiOn Situation Now Made
Known.
OFFICIAL INFORMATION RECEIVED
Great Britain Claims the Island Has Been Her
Property Since 188S-Very
Significant.

New York, July 2S.-A special to

session of the island of Palmyra in the
Pacific ocean has been received at the
state department in a dispatch from
San Francisco, wired from that point
by dispatch agent of the department
stationed there, who had received it
from Minister Sewall at Honolulu.
"The message merely contained the
bare facts of the seizure.
"The action of Great Britain in TAX
ing possession of the island at this
time, following, as it does, the submis-
sion of the annexation treaty to the
senate by the presidant, is considered
very significant by the authorities
here. Whether it is intended to COM
plicate matters so as to staYe off an
nexatlOn or whether Great Britain
proposes to establish a naval station
upon the island, her action is regarded
of the highest Importance"
CLAIM IT'S BRITISH.
London, July % With reference to
the reported seizure by Great BritBin
of Palmyra island it is officially stated
that the island has been British since
1888. The report Is supposed to have
arisen from the fact the H. M. S. Wild

periodical visit.

MOVING SLOWLY.
PIttsburg, July 2S. - The second
day session of the uniformity con-
ventlon, scheduled for 10 O'Clock this
morning, was an hour late in opening
owing to the slowness of the operators
IN getting together. Eighty five rail-
road and river mines and four exclu-
sively river mines were represented. .
The progress made yesterday and to-
day was so slow that indications are
that it will be several weeks before an
agreement satisfactory to 95 per ce mt
of the operators of the district neces-
ssry before "true uniformity" can be-
come established can be secured. The
articles of agreement we're taken up,
and the first five were adopted with a
few slight changes. They provide for
cash payments, 1000 pounds to the
ton, check on the weighman, abolish
ment of company stores, credit to
mines for full quantity of coal in cars,
and semi -monthly pay without deduc-
tiOn for merchandise, etc.

Brunswick, Savannah and Jackson
vile Talk with Each
Other.
THEY HEARD A HUNDRED MILES.
Everybody Can Talk to the Two Cities
Without Charge Until
Monday.

Savannah and Jacksonville enter
tanned Brunswick over the loag-dis-
tance telephone line yesterday.
Brunswick had been entertaining
these two cities for the past two days,
and yesterday it was Brunswick's
opening and Brunswick's turn.
District Inspector Bawsel, OF the
Bell company, was here to superintend
things and Manager Haley had thirty
six telephones arranged in the Rifle
mems armory for the entertainment
of the invited guests. There was no
scarcity of people who wanted to hear
the concerts provided for Brunswick
by the telephone men of the other
cities, aud the thirty-six phones were
rapidly put in use. Indeed, it was
necessary to have three or four differ
ent sittings, those who had heard sew
eral selections giving way for those
who came later,
Savannah was heard from first, and
Manager Polk, of the Savannah ex-
change, announced that he had a man
dOlin and guitar duet as the first num-
Der on his program. The duet was
plainly heard and much enjoyed. Sa-
vannah also treated to some excellent
instrumental music from Mr.. a'Becket
and pretty song by Miss Colding.
The latter was especially well received
and encored.
Jacksonville had an entertaining
program, including vocal selections
by the Western Union messenger boy
quartette, plano duets and an enjoy
able rendition of GAIL Coons Look
Alike to Me-" by a we'll known vocal
lst of that city.
All the selections were very distinct
and the perfect work of the line was a
matter of con graduation to all con-
cerned.
A number of conversations were
held over the line during the inter
missions in the musical program. Mr..
Julius Levy had a conversation with
his father, Mr.. B. II. Levy, the latter
telling his son to 'let him hear from
him three times day, but to pay the
tolls at the Brunswick end Of the lIne."
Hon j. J. McDonough, speaking to
Mr.. Harry Barkuloo, wanted to know
if anybody in Brunswick used Pears
soap, and Mr., w. B. Stillwell said that
if he could be guaranteed freedom
from Mosquitoes he would move to
Brunswick.
The line is now formally opened for
business, and conversation can now
be carried on between Brunswick and
Jacksonville, Savannah, Fernandina
and st. Augustine. The advantage of
this connection in facilitating busi-
ness ameng these cities is great one,
and the line will no doubt be literally
patronlzed.
In few days it will be possible for
subscribers to get the long distance
connection from their private phones.
Manager Haley will be glad to fur
nish connections on the long-distance
line free of charge to the citizens gen.
orally until next Monday. After that
date, the charges will be required.
This line, just completed, is but the
beginning of the extension of the Bell
lines in this state. In short while
the Georgia lines will have cOnnec-
tion with the American lines, which
Will include all the important cities
in the United States.

STAKES MUST DE REMOVED.
Attorney Thomas Sustains the Author
ity of the OmmiSsiOncrs.

Several days ago the Commissioners sent
out notices to property owners calling at
tention to the stakes placed around side
walk parkings. and directing them to re-
move the same forthwith. Attention was
also directed to the regulation which per-
mitted fences to be erected, and directing
that no portion of the same should be al
lowed to project beyond the parking line
When vines or hedges are to be planted
along the fence. the fence must be set back
at least one foot from the parking line
Blocks or pedestals for fence posts must
not project above the sidewalk, and fur
ther, that barbed wire would not be al
lowed on such fences.
No sooner had these notices been dis
sioners' office 4 stream OF citizens demand
ing to know what such regulations meant
The authority of the Commissioners was
questioned, and to settle the matter a CODY
of the notice was sent to the attorney for
the District to pass upon the Commits
s.oners' power to issue such a notice and
enforce the same.
Attorney Thomas, in passing upon the
case. says the Commissioners have ample
authority to issue the regulation, and as
such distractions are clearly dangerous to
life and limb, the failure of property own
ers to remove them when notified would
