? A Grand Army colony has been estab-
1ished upon Il, 600 acres of land in South
erl Georgia. 1t remains to be seen
whether the fraternal and tolerant spirit
which it is claimed is one of the attri-
butes of the 'sNew South" has in fact
supplanted the social ostracism which
was the lot, not many years ago, of al
most every Northern man who saw fit to
settle in that section of the country, even
with the laudable purpose of promoting
ment.

For some time past the merchants of
New York who have business relations
with Cuba have had under consideration
several plans to bring about, if possible,
a peaceful settlement of the Cretan insur-
rection. Conferences have been held and
various plans discussed, and they have
finally arrived at the conclusion that the
most practical and effective plan would
be to petition President Mckinley to do
ment. 1t is said that the petition will
not be confined to New York alone, but
will be extended to every town and city
in the United States whose business has
been hampered by the Cuban difficulty.

The United States and Switzerland
seem to be the only important nations in
the world in which postal savings banks
are not in existence. The system, it is
said, works admirably in almost every
CO lntry where it has had a fair trial, both
for the government and the people. Mr..
Wanamaker made an earnest effort to
introduce the postal savings bank, when
he was Postmaster General, and as the
plan meets with the approval of the pres
cit Head of the Post Office Department.,
will yet be brought to successful con-
clusion.

AN INVESTIGATION
Into the Killing of Two American Sailors
by Japanese, Begun by the State Depart

Into the Killing of Two American Sailors
by Japanese, Begun by the State Depart
ment.
Washington, December 21.-The De-
partment Of State has undertaken an
investigation of two very disagreeable
Incidents that may contain in them
selves the germs of serious trouble in
the near future. They are the killing
by Japanese Of two sailors attached TO
the United States fleet on the Asiatic
station. The exact conditions under
which the killing occurred are not
known here yet, and the State Depart
ment is trying to learn them through
the United States minister to Toxic
and the United States consuls to Japan,
preliminary to determining what steps
shall be taken to secure reparation, if
it shall be found that the killing was,
as is supposed, unjustifable. The first
killing was Of a sailor named Mont
gOmery, formerly attached to the York
town while she was on the Asiatic
station, and the last was that of Frank
Epps, a sailor, native of New York,
and apprentice to the flagship Olympia.
He was killed at Nagasika. The Off
Gals here have been advised of the
bare facts only, but following so close
ly the terrible assault at Kobe last
September of a japanese mob upon the
sailors of the Yorktown, these killings
have aroused them to a determination
to secure protection for our sailors in
Japanese waters.

FUNERAL OF rERRISS.
The Murdered Actor Inferred In Brompton

London, December 21.-The funeral
of William Terriss, the actor, who was
stabbed to death on Thursday last out
side the Adelphi Theatre, by a super
named Prince, took place to-day at
Brompton cemetery. There was an
immense crowd of people present.
The principal mourners were the two
sons of the deceased, Mr.. and Mrs. Sey-
m0ur Hicks (the latter Elaine Ter
Kiss, daughter Of the murdered MANI,
the Messrs. Gatti, Sir Henry Irving,
Charles Wyndham and George w.

the most remarkable demonstration of
sympathy in recent years.

NO CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

Sees Likely Under tho Mckinley Admins
tratfon-The President Welded to the
Cleveland Idea.
Washington, December 21.-To-day's
cabinet meeting was devoted almost
entirely to discussion of the operation
of the civil service law The resolu-
ton adoptd by the Senate last Friday
calling upon the executive heads OF the
several departments of the government
for informal ton concerning the appli-
cation of the civil service law to their
departments and for an expression of
their opinions as to what if any modi-
f1cations ought to be made in it was
the subject directly under discussion.
All the members of the cabinet were
present except Secretary Alger, and
there was no dissent from the PROPOSE
ton that the civil service law ought to
be upheld. The principle of the sys-
tenn in the opinion of all must be main
tanned, but there was some difference
of opinion as to the extent of its appli-
cation. In connection with the Senate
resolution it was pointed out that in
some of the departments, notably those
of the State and Navy, comparatively
few changes could be made that would
be an improvement upon present con-
ditions. In some other departments
exceptions to the operation Of the law
in tie opinion of the cabinet members
ought to be made. Some positions
they report were included in the
blanket order of President Cleveland
that might better not have been in
cluded. In such cases, isolated here
and there in several of the departments,
it would be in the judgment of the
heads of these departments be quite
proper for the President to modify Mr..
Cleveland's order. While the system
was pretty thoroughly discussed it can
be said upon the authority of three
members of the cabinet that no definite
policy was outlined beyond determin-
alton to maintain the principle of the
civil service. No effort was made to-
day to adopt reply to the Senate that
would embody uniform expressions of
opinion. 1t is likely that each member
of the cabinet will prepare his reply in
his own way, embodying such sugges-
tons as he may deem proper, the re-
plies to be well within a definite
scheme to be outlined later

TO FIX MINERS WAGES.

Pittsburg, Pa, December 21.-The
joint conference Of coal operators and
miners of the Pittsburg district which
met here to-day TO fix rate for min
ing for the ensuing year, decided TO
postpone the matter of a rate for this
district, pending the outcome of a
movement for the interstate conven-
ton at which a uniform rate for
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois would be fixed.
At the afternoon session a committee
was appointed. which will meet at the
Chittelden Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, on
December 81. This committee will
have power to fix temporary rate to
be in force from January to January
Is. The committee will also make ar
rangements for the holding of an inter-
State convention before the expiration
Of the temporary scale TO establish a
price for the year satisfactory to the
several States interested. Adjourned.

AMERICAN GIRLS
Who Are Married to Foreign Diplomats

Who Are Married to Foreign Diplomats
Are Not Mistreated at Madrid.
Washington, December 21-Stories
have been current recently that the
mission of the new French ambassador
at Madrid, M. Patenotre, who recently
closed his service here, would be con-
siderably embarrassed from the fact
that he had married an American girl.
1t is stated, however, that when SINH
lar story gained circulation in Madrid a
few weeks ago, it was promptly and
with apparent authority denied. The
report was originally printed in a
French newspaper, and was copied in
Madrid. Thereupon the Epoca, the
leading Conservative paper in Madrid,
the editor being the dean of the jour-
nalistic community, took up the matter
and gave assurance that the American
wife Of the French ambassador would
be received with every mark of con-
sideration. 1t instanced as a similar
case that of the wife of the Marquis
Apezteguia, who was formerly Miss
Vincent, of New York, and as wife of
the we'll known Spanish leader has
been made a Spanish grandee and a
close associate of the Queen These
American wives, the Epoca asserted,
in no way shared the sentiment of GER
tain radical elements in America, IA
vorable to the Cuban insurgents, and
they would be shown every mark of
official and royal favor. Madame Pa
tenotre was formerly Miss Elverson, Of
PHILADELPHIA.

MILEAGE BUREAU
OF the Central Passenger Association
May BE Broken Up.


May BE Broken Up.
Chicago, December 81 A meeting
Of the mileage bureau of the Central
Passenger Association was held here
to-day to try TO patch up the rapidly
growing revolt against the present
method Of issuing interchangeable
mileage tickets. The meeting was more
in the nature of a conference between
the mileage bureau and the Michigan
roads, some of which have never been
members of the bureau, to devise some
plan by which the Michigan roads viii
be able to issue Interchangeable mile
age tickets without requiring holders
to purchase tickets before getting on
the train. The Vanderbilt roads, the
Nickel Plate, Lake Shore and Mchi-
gan Central are supporting the demand
of the Michigan people in this regard
and are strongly in favor of some plan
of interchangeable mileage not requir-
ing the purchase Of tickets at the sta
tons. Should the sentiment of the
majority of the roads be against such
course it is considered highly prob
able that the dissolution of the mile
age bureau will result, the Vanderbilt
roads Withdrawing and forming Su-
reau of their own. In this it is said
they would probably he supported and
followed by the Big Four road. Tick
cts issued by any one of these roads
would be good on all the Vanderbilt
roads. The conference was still in Ses-
sion at a tate hour this afternoon.

800 delegates, said to represent so per

gents.

Mason City Miners.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, December 21.-
Ever since the beginning Of the big
coal strike of last summer, in which
the coal miners employed in the mines
of the Consumers Coal Company, at
Mason City, W. Va, did not take part,
there has been bitter feeling be-
tween them and the miners employed
along the Pomeroy Bend, on the oppo-
site side of the Ohio river. This feel
ihg has cropped out frequently and the
Pcmeroy Bend miners have threatened
to cross the river and drive the Mason
City men out unless they struck for
the rate of wages the Ohio operators
are paying. The West Virginia miners
have refused to strike, but as yet no
raid has been attempted. This after
noon Governor Atkinson received a
telegram from General B. D. Spillman,
manager of the Mason City mines, that
the Pomeroy men were coming over to-
night. Governor Atkinson wired the
sheriff of Mason county to raise posse
and prepare to defend the mines. Later
he received reply that this has been
don. The Governor then communi-
Gated with Adjutant General Appleton,
and five companies of the State militia
along the Chesapeake & Ohio and Kan
awha & Michigan railroads were or
dered to stand ready to move.
Word was sent to the Ohio miners
that they would be given a hot recep-
ton and no move is likely tonight, but
it is expected as soon as the guards are
removed from the mines.

THE SILVER HEELS RELEASED.

Washington, D. c., December 81 -
Assistant Secretary Spaulding to-day
issued orders for the release of the
Silver Heels" at Wilmington, n. C.
This step was taken on report by the
United States attorney that he could
obtain no evidence upon which to pro-
coed against the vessel. The master,
mate and crew all swore that the YES
sci left New York October II and was
drifting at sea for fifty days on account
of storms and bad weather, until she
reached Wilmington. The master and
mate swear the vessel had no arms or
ammunition aboard and did not deliver
any.
