Chairman Jones of the Popocratic
party and his free-trade associates in
congress are Offering as their only de-
that it opened markets for American
manufactures abroad. They base this
statement upon the fact that the
number of dollars worth of American
manufactures sold abroad in 1896 was
greater than under the Mckinley law
the fact that this increase in dollars
was due to the increased prices and
not increased quantities of goods sold.
The increased value Of expectation of
manufactured goods in 1896 over 1894
was about 45 million dollars and one
eral OILS alone. The fact is that the
quantity of mineral oils exported in
1896 was actually less than in 1894. but
the happy fact that higher prices
were paid by foreign buyers caused
the manufacturers of those oils to re-
quantity of goods than in 1891 The
same causes are found in other arti-
Giles of export. and when coupled with
the fact that many manufacturers
sold their goods at a loss for the sake
of finding market which they could
was filled with foreign goods, account
for the phenomenal increase in our
foreign sales of home manufactures

The demand for the passage of the
belligerency resolution in regard to
Cuba has practically disappeared now
that the people have come to calmly
think it over and realize that the
forcing of the question upon the new
administration might have precipi-
tated action in way TO endanger our
own interests as well a, those of Cuba
itself. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the administration will
take action which will be satisfactory
to the friends of liberty: and that the
information which President Mckin-
ley's special messenger to Cuba brings
back this week will aid very much in
this.

The embarrassment of the Repub-
lican leaders in the senate in their
efforts to pass a Republican tariff bill
through that body, which their party
does not control, is shown by recent
statement in the Washington Post,
which indicated that the Republicans
are two members short of majority
in the senate. The statement is as

To frame. discuss, and pass through
both branches of congress Il tariff Dill
in four months time would be a new
thing in tariff history. But the pres
ent indications are that this is likely
to be accomplished in the year 1887.
Phenomenal speed has been made
thus far in the senate, and expert
enced observers in that body predict
that the tariff bill will pass before the
end OF June and reach the president
iii time to enable him to celebrate the
Fourth of July by attaching his sig
nature to it. The remarkable speed
which has been attained and main
tanned in its consideration in the SEN
ate is due. it may be remarked, to a
very considerable extent at least to
the fact that the protection senti-
ment is stronger i'll every party in the
senate than ever before. and that the
people in all parts of the country are
bringing very strong pressure to bear
upon the senators in behalf of this
protective tariff measure.

Eree-trade organs which are charg
ing that the thirty-fve men from the
South who are voting in Congress for
the protective tariff bill are carpet
baggers, and that their protection
sentiments are due to Nortern train
ing, would have done we'll to have eX-
amined the sketches of the lives of
the gentlemen in question before
making these assertions. \ moments
study OF the Congressional Directory
would have shown them that. the
statement is untrue, for very large
proportion of these men are natives
of the states which they represent, or
at least natives of the South.

The assertion that a silver standard
would improve our commercial rela-
tions with other parts of the world
which was made frequently during
last falls campaign has received a
very black eye by the recent state
ments of President Pierola of Peru
and high japanese officials. Both
Japan and Peru, as is well known,
have within the past few months
adopted the gold standard, and curl
ously the chief reason assigned by the
officials for this action is the fact that
the fluctuations of silver as a standard
money worked great disadvantage to
them in their commercial relations
with other parts OF the world.

Big TIME TODAY
AT CUMBERLAND.
The Races Will Attract Large
Crowds to the Re-
sort.
Has A SPLENDID SCHEDULE.
The Program Includes Bicycle, TrOtting,
Running, Foot and Potato
Races.

Crowds will throng Cumberland
beach today to see the interesting
races which VIII make up the celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July occasion.
The attraction has been literally ad-
vertised, and there will probably be
large attendance, not only from
Brunswick, but from the state at
large.
The Cumberland Route will run the
best schedule ever arranged between
Brunswick and Cumberland. The
Governor Stafford will leave her Bruns-
wick wharf at a. m. and will touch
at st. Simon, proceeding thence at
O'Clock to Cumberland. A party of
about 200 will go from st. Simon to
the other island to participate in the
sports of the day.
Arriving at Cumberland at II
o'clock, the Governor Stafford will
leave on her return trip to Brunswick
at 3 30. The steamer will make an
other trip to Cumberland, leaving at
6 p. M, and returning late at night.
This schedule will allow an all day
stay at the resort and give those who
go an opportunity to spend a portion
of the night.
The events at the beach include
trotting and running races, bicycle
races and potato race, which will be
participated in by number of small
negro boys. Mr.. L. V. Carroll has
arranged the program, and it will be
first class in every respect.
Manager Shackelford is prepared to
entertain all who come in his usual
hospitabIe style. The horses which
enter the races at Cumberland will be
taken to st. Simon for the races there
on Monday.

WELLINGTON WAS
VERY, VERY WARM.
He Alluded to Some Member
as "That Crea-
ture".
POINTED PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
The Gentleman Seemed to Value His
Congressional Prerogative
Highly.

Washington, July 2.-Senator Well
ington rose to question of personal
privilege soon after the opening of the
senate today, and in a vehement voice
referred to publication concerning
conflict said to have taken place yes
terday before the committee on COM
merce in relation to the appointment
of b. II. Warner, Jr., as consul to
Leipslc. The senator declares the
publication was unjust and sought to
reembrOil him IN a conflict with the
president. Mr.. Wellington said he
understood the committee meetings
relating to nominations were secret
and sacred and he could not believe
that any member of the committee
gave the Information.
Under such circumstances who, he
said, could have inspired this report
but "that creature" IN the committee
room yesterday. "If the price of pat
ronage is to be servile obedience then
refuse to give it," exclaimed Mr..
Wellington. He spoke again of
"the creature" responsible fer the
report and closed with an emphatic
statement as to his prerogatives eff
these prerogatives wereto belnterfered
with he proposed to make war;" He
had right to be treated as other sem
ators with the same senatorial pre-
rOgatiy 5. He could not be driven
from the senate by these attacks.
Il will remain right here" exclaimed
Mr.. Wellington, striking his desk
resounding blow. "No man ever
struck me blow that / did not
return it with interest, and they will
find me on deck if the struggle is to
begin" After the stir of this incident
the tariff bill was taken up.

MINERS OF FIVE
STATES TO STRIKE.
Leaders Believe That the Dawn Of
Prosperity Is in
Sight.
WILL NOT Be DISORDERLY.
The Strike Will Be a Big One and May
Result in Serious
Trouble.

Pittsburg, July 2.-An official cir
cuIar, ordering national strike of
coal miners in five states on July 4,
was received at district headquarters
here from Columbus, o., at 10 O'Clock
this morning, and copies were at once
sent to the different miners. Action
on the circular will be taken at the
district convention of miners In this
city tomorrow. There seems to be no
doubt that delegates will be instruct
ed to declare strike. The document
urged unanimity and fidelity among
the members. "The signs of the
times, the paper says, "as pointed
out by the press and by the testimony
of men versed In public affairs, are
that business is improving and that
an upward tendency in prices of all
commodities is apparent. In the gem
eral business revival and industrial
improvement which are earnestly
proclaimed, we ought to share, and if
we do not attempt to share we will be
false to those dependent upon us"
"Let the watchword be-, says the
circular, g mine workers are entitled
to fair days pay for days work. ."
Local committees are to be formed
and "to see that action is taken at
once. The field is large and it Will be
an lmposslbility for the national and
district officers to attend at all points,
consequently all local leaders are or
dered to assume responsibility and au-
thority for the successful consumma-
tion of our desires. To insure sue
cess great care should be exercised by
all that no breach of the peace occurs
at any time or place or under any
circumstances. Bulletins will be is
sued from time to time tokeep you in
formed of the progress of affairs"

THE CONSOLIDATED
IS In BAD TROUBLE.
Mayor Collier May Declare It's
Charter Null and
Void.
HAS AN ILLEGAL CONSTITUTION.
The Probability Causes a Sensation in At
lanta Where the Road Oper-
ates.

Atlanta, July 2.-The contest be-
tween the city authorities and the Con-
solidated Street Railway company,
which has been in progress since the
incoming of the present municipal ad-
took highly sensational
turn today when 1T was learned that
Mayor Collier is contemplating taking
steps to declare the company's charter
null and void and the corporation an
illegal one. The Consolidated, which
controls practically all the trolley lines
In the city, is result of a combination
of number of horse car service
roads, which were operated separately
up to about seven years ago, when
various corporations were merged into
one under the control of Joel Hurt, the
present president of the company.
The stock of the company is owned
chiefly by local capitalists, while the
b ,nds are largely held in Boston. Sew
eral months ago the city council passed
an ordinance to compel the Consoli.
dated to grant transfers, beginning
May |. Before that date the Old
Colony Trust company of Boston
representing bondhOlders and stock
holders themselves, brought suit in
the United States court to restrain
the city from inforclng it's transfer
ordinance.
The case is now pending and today
sensational developments are In the
form of an amendment which the city
is preparing to make its answer in
that suit. In this amendment the
contention will be made that, by rea-
son of having violated the provisions
of the state constitution against the
com mbination of street railway lines,
the Consolidated company has violated
its charter, thereby rendering 1t null
and void and the corporation an ille-
gal one, Notwithstanding 1t is in court.
The capital stock of the Consolidated
is about $2,0OO,OeO and the bonds
about $2,3OOOO9, making the total
amount in litigation some $4,300,000.
President Hurt, of the Consolidated
company, says he has no fears for the
outcome of the suit, as the company's
legal standing was established when
the original combination was effected
The case will come up for hearing on

Mayor johnson Will Be Surprised to Hear
of His New Job.

VI nlo NbW JOUs
The appointment of Mayor Owens
Johnson as United States Commls-
sioner will be, probably, as great a
surprise to that gentleman himself as
it was to everybody else. Mayor
johnson is now at Hot Springs, Ark,
and it is doubtful if he has yet heard
the news Of his appointment. He
had made no application for the office,
and it is thought that he will decline
to accept it.
The appointment was also a sur
prise to Judge Lehman, who has held
the Office for some time. United
States commissioners were formerly
appointed for life, but recent act of
Congress fixed term of four years.
Judge Lehman was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Postmaster w.
F. Symons, and the term expired on
Wednesday. Judge Speer followed
his usual course Of acting without
asking the opinions or recommends
tions of anybody concerned.
The office is now not near so lucra-
tive as It once was. The fees ara re.
stricted to S. in each case, and the ap-
polntment of a commissioner at Way
cross, thing not heretofore done,
takes away from the Brunswick office

The task was by no means an easy

men unaccustOmed to such work; but
they acquitted themselves like real
sailors and had everything in readi-
ness when the tug Inca came along
side to give the old ship towline.
Progress was necessarily slow, and
it was close to now when the Inca and
her historic corsort reached the
sound. The Passaic was anchored
off Ocean pier, where she will remain
a month. Lieut., g. A. Taylor will
