THE CONTEST FOR
THREE OFFICERS.
Will Brunswick Yield Two
Battalion Officers to
Savannah?
SETTLEMENT SAID 70 Be IN SIGHT.
The Brunswick Officers Hold a Meeting, and
Make a Dscision-Will Stick
to Aiken.

The officers of the Naval Militia of
Brunswick, in meeting assembled,
have, it is said, decided to again sup
port Lieut.. Aiken for the office of COM
mander of the Georgia battalion. 1t
is believed that a new election will
be ordered in few weeks and that the
old struggle will be renewed between
Savannah and Brunswick for the pick
of the offices.
The Savannah divisions, it is said,
are willing to give Brunswick the
commander if they can have the other
two places. This was the proposition
made before the last election and was
disagreed to by the Brunswick Off
GERS. The result of the disagreement,
as every body remembers, was that the
Brunswick officers voted for three of
their own officers for the battalion
places and that Savannah did like
wise, thus causing DEADLOCK.
Some compromise will be sought be-
fore the new election occurs and it is
rumored that Brunswick will concede
the lieutenant commander and navi-
gator to Savannah and be content with
the commanders place. This is the
only arrangement by which another
deadlock can be prevented.
Brunswick's candidate for comman-
der is of course Lieut.. Aiken, who is
the senior officer of the state service,
while Savannah presents the claims of
Lieut.. Colding for Lieutenant cOmman-
der and of Seaman Walter j. Thomp-
son for navigator.
The recent criticism of the local
reserves by the officers of the Will
mington has created considerable in
terest throughout the state in the SER
vice and its condition. The Conshtu-
ton last night wired its correspond
ent in this city, Mr. G. w. Deming,
for story of the whole matter.

Didn't Bring Her.

The Naval Reserves did not bring
the monitor Passaic up to the city, as
intended yesterday, 1t was decided
when the men got aboard that the day
would be spent in getting the ship
cleaned up and in first-class condition.
The trip up to the city will probably
be made today. The Pope Catlin car
ried the men down to the island yes
terday and they were transferred to
the Passaic in Lieut.. Aiken's launch.

Big MEETING OF MEN OF MONEY.
Governor Pingree Welcomes Thsm-Lowry,
Of Georgia, Responds the
Only Safe Standard.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. F.-Every seat
in the Detroit opera house was occu-
pied this morning when at a little
after IL o'clock President Robert j.
Lowry, of Atlanta, called to order the
annual convention of the American
Bankers association.
The presence of many ladies testi-
fed to the interest taken by Detroit
in the proceedings of the convention,
and elaborate decorations of the opera
house gave further evidence of Detroit
hospitality.
Mayor Mabury welcomed the dele
gates to Detroit in an address more
than usually happy and felicitous.
Governor Pingree was late In arriv-
ing, but when he came forward he
was received with generous round of
applause. The governor delivered an
address welcoming the delegates to the
state, then President Lowry rose to
respond to the greetings of Michigan.
President Lowry, in the course of
his annual address said:
"At the meeting a year ago in st.
Louis this association, composed of a
class of business men who were init
mately connected through business re-
latiOns with every branch of industry
and representing about a million of
banking capital, declared most en-
phatically that gold was the only safe
standard of value, and that this great
country, ranking as one of the fore
most commercial nations of the world,
could not JOIN with other nations of
lower commercial rank in fixing on a
baser metal as the basis on which q
sound currency should rest
at is a matter of congratulation
that after a heated canvass and dis
cussion of nearly year the people of
the country, through the ballot box
fully and completely Endorsed your
position. The results that were rea-
sOnably expected to follow this action
of the people are being slowly but
surely realized; confidence, the foun-
dation of all commercial prosperity, is
being restored. This assertion needs
no argument to establish It's truth. 1t
can be seen and felt by all who are
not blinded by prejudice and whose
sensibilities are not calloused by ig-
nOrance.
"I recognize the fact that returning
prosperity has not yet arrived. l
know 1t is on the way and l believe it
is not so far off as some would have
US think"

FL0TILLA MAY COME.
Six United States Torpedo Boats to Visit the
Coast Cities.


Brunswick may have a visit from
the torpedo boat fotilla of the United
States navy department early in the
new year, or sooner.
The flotilla has been ordered to as
semble at New York for the purpose
ofstarting on cruise of the Atlantic
and gulf coasts, with Galveston as
the final destination. The ports at
which the vessels are to stop on their
cruise are to be designated by the
navy department later, and it is the
intention Of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt to have the stops made at
all ports which would be important
stragetic points in time of war.
The following is an extract from the
order issued to the flotilla:
sit is the intention of the depart
ment that the Atlantic fiotilla shall at
first consist of six boats, viz: the
Rodgers, Porter, Ericsson, Cushion,
Foote and Dupont, and that those
boats shall be fitted out, ready for
cruising in 1otilla. and rendezvoused
at the New York port by the LIST of
October next. AS soon as the flotllla
Is organized you will move along the
coast, looking in at such ports as may
be designated by the department, or
may be selected by yourself for visit,
and will work around into the gulf of
Mexico and as far west as Galveston
Tex.
"You will be ready to ascend the
Mississippi above New Orleans as
early as possible in March or April,
1898, without undue delay, and upon
leaving the Mississippi river proceed
to Hampton Roads, Virginia.
within the above limits of time
and place you are given full discre-
ton as to the employment of the flo
tilla and will be held strictly respon-
sible for the value of the results of the
cruise.
"You are informed that the cruise
Of the fiotilla as outlined is considered
necessary in order to determine or to
aid in determlng the practical value
of torpedo boats in extended opera
tions along our coasts; the types of
torpedo boats best fitted for the needs
of this country; the most effective
way to work different types of boats
together; the quickest way to make
the personnel effective, and the value
of torpedo boat service for training in
plotting and scouting"

New York, Aug. Ex-senator Stew

on the silver question, nor advised my
friends to drop the issue on account
of the returning prosperity. Perma-
nent relief can only come when silver
is remonetlzed. The rise in the price
of wheat and the fall in the price of
silver, will stimulate rather than re-
tard the irrespective movement of re-
turning to the coinage law of the bet
ter days of the republic"

Strikers Show Material Gains in All Sections
of West Virginia-NOt
Mine Working.

Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-Martial law
has been declared in Plum, Patton,
and Wilkinson townships by Sheriff
Lowry. Three mines of the New York
and CleYeland Gas company in these
townships and all the roads leading to
them will be patrolled by the deputies.
The sheriff will not attempt to break
up the camp of the strikers until the
court has passed on the question, but
it is determined to stop marching and
tresspassing on the company's prop
erty. There are now nearly 800 men
in camp at Plum creek. After the
mutlny at Sandy creek yesterday the
camp at that point was abandoned
and the men went TO Plum creek. In
addition 200 men arrived at o'clock
this morning from Belle Vernon. The
large increase in the number in camp
has caused shortage of provisions
and the men are hungry.
At Turtle creek fifty strikers, with
out leaders or music, and with moth
ing at their head but an American
flag, marched from Camp Determine
tion this morning on the Oak Hill
mines. This was done unexpectedly
and in violation of the restraining
order temporarily continued by the
court yesterday. Before reaching the
mines Sheriff Lowry met the marchers
and ordered them back to camp. The
strikers reluctantly turned back dis
appointed but peaceful. While the
men were gong to work this morning
they had to pass between two rows of
French women, headed by Mrs. Jen-
ME Dewitt and Mary Brogia. The
women called at the men and threat
ened to hit them with stones, although
they did not do so. The men hurried
past as fast as they could, fearing to
say anything, as the women looked
desperate.
STRIKERS MAKE GAINS.
Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 1.-THE
strikers show material gains in all
sections of West Virginia today. In
the Wheeling district there is not q
mine working, while on the Ohio side
of the river the last man, except those
who are to furnish coal for the water
and electric light plants, will be out
tonight. In the Paramount district
the strike leaders did not succeed in
closing the Montana mine entirely,
but they made decided gains. The
camp will be maintained there until
the last man leaves his work.
Paramount, w. Va, Aug. 1.-THE
strikers have succeeded in getting
about half of the men out at Montana,
and 1T is said that they will march on
to New England this afternoon. If
they do they will probably be arrested
by deputy marshals, who arrived this
morning.

Savannah, Aug. 1.-THE congested

traders out of the market and even
the professionals are going slow. The
big advance and the possibility of a
freer movement is rather against the
long side just now, but the manner in
which bears have been handled of late
intimidates the short selling and the
average trader watches the quotatio n S
