TRUE SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
Doesn't Propose to Reward the "Men Who
Burned Their Homes" in the War.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 3. - The Georgia
Legislature has proven that true south
ern sentiment is not yet dead in the
south. That body has just killed a bill
by Calvin, of Richmond county, which
provided for granting free license to
Yankee soldiers who might now be liv-
ing in the state. The bill created much
surprise and was strongly condemned.
Two men spoke in favor Of the bill, but
their speeches received little attention.
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
a measure that would be a reward for
the men who came to Georgia in 1864
and burned the homes Of the people who
have 10 help pension the Union soldiers.
number OF members spoke and said
that the national government made am
pie provision in the way Of pensions for
the aid of the Union veterans, and they
thought Georgia should confine her aid

MURDER AT CHICAGO is OUT.
Body OF Mrs. Merry Found with the Help
of Witness of the Murder.


Chicago. Nov. 29.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance Of Mrs.
Paulina Merry from her home at so
Hope street was solved yesterday by
the confession of Thomas Hickey who
was arrested on suspicion. Hickey told
how Christopher Merry choked and beat
his wife a week ago last Friday. Then
finding 1t impossible to restore his wife
TO consciousness he decided TO put her
''out of her misery" by beating out her
brains with a poker. Late yesterday
afternoon Hickey led a party of police
to an uninhabted portion of the city,
where Mrs. Merry's body was found
buried beneath few inches OF loose
dirt by the roadside.
On Nov. 20 the police learned that
Mrs Merry had been made away with
by her husband. When the police began
their investigation the 3-year- son
OF Merry told them that his father had
killed his mother. Following this clue
1t was found that Merry had driven
away from his place Saturday morning
with a covered wagon, but no further
trace Of him has been discovered. Hick-
ey also said that James Smith was
present when Merry killed his wife. The
three men sat up Friday night and
tried to restore Mrs. Merry. On Satur-
day Merry, he says. decided to kill her
Merry, although still in the city. has
successfully eluded the police.

GREAT PLACE TO GO. SURE.
il You Have Trained Yourself to Live on
Nothing Indefinitely.

H. A. Ferguson said: THE situation
at Dawson was relieved by the exodus
to Fort Yukon. | doubt il there will
be any actual starvation there. but there
will be shortage. The old -timers have
provisions enough to carry them
through The stores are practically
cleaned out. All they would sell was
five pounds Of sugar TO a man. Flour
could not be bought at all One or two
sacks were quickly picked up at 500
per sack. Wages are still S15 per day,
but they are sure 10 go down to IS by
next summer and IS day there is no
more than $3.50 a day outside.
Thomas Magee, ST., a well-known
capitalist of San Francisco in an inter-
view said: The excitement over the
failure OF the steamers to bring food up
to Dawson continued when the Dalton
party left. The police took charge for
two days of the stores and warehouses
of the Northwestern and Alaska Com
mercial company IA a precaution only.
Flour was selling at 81 a pound and no
sale of less than fifty pounds was made.
No plans have yet been formulated to
avert the starvation Of those who are
short of provisions. Those we'll supplied
have not much sympathy with those
who are short because OF the fact that
the majority Of these latter went in
with little food. although abundantly
warned at Lake Bennett in advance.

This aroused the Spaniards for the

details OF this raid. though an official

the town. The rebels approached and
fired upon Mariana Wednesday night
There was great excitement, the volun-
teers were called out, and along with
the troops returned the rebel fire. The
residents were panic stricken and locked

Imperial Parliament Must Act
Washington. Nov. 80 - A dispatch
from ottawa, Ont, says: The reply
of the Canadian government TO the
proposition of the United States. that
the Canadians should stop killing seals
for year beginning Jan. /. indicates
that Ii is not possible to comply with
the proposal, as every British subject
has the right to engage in pelagic seal
ing unless prohibited by imperial de-
cree, which can only be issued by au-
thority OF the imperial parliament. and
parliament will not meet until Febru-
airy. The Canadian reply suggests that
the proposed joint commission be APP
pointed and meet at once; when, upon
conclusion Of negotiations upon the half
dozen questions at issue-including the
sealing questionable necessary legisla-
ton could be secured from the British
parliament and the suspension Of pelagic
sealing go into effect In the spring"
Our Proposition None.
The state department declines to say
anything respecting the answer of the
Canadian government on the seal ques
ton, further than to state that no COM
nunication on the subject had been re-
ceived from either the British embassy
or from Ottawa. The published report
Of the conference which took place be-
tween Foster and the British and Can
adam representatives. on the 10th inst.
shows that the proposition now reported
from Ottawa as have been formulated
by the Canadian government was pro-
posed at that time and definitely de-
elned by Foster IT was then distinctly
stated that the government Of the Unit
ed States could not consent to make
the seal question dependent upon the
complex question of reciprocity or re-
vision of our tariff or other matters un-
less there should be a suspension of the
slaughter of the seals while the negotia-
tions and resulting legislation were
pending. 1t is not likely that the presi-
dent will reverse the decision of this
government upon renewal Of the prop
Osition.
