them was the wife of Constantine.

saw that the vessel was sinking he
opened the hatch and seized one of
his sisters and child. The others did
not get out of the cabin before the boat
sank. The woman and child clung
to him. but he found thst he was sink.

gas of the Navy Yard. Constantine,
the two women and five children were
lost. Notes was completely exhaust,

Confessed to Several Murders.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 81
Excitement is still high at Montgom'
cry over the murdered body found in
an abandoned mine. Clark Lewis
has confessed that he choked Charles
Gibson to death while Albert Voirs
held him. Gibson's wife was with
her husband at the time. He says
John Cochran was murdered Februa.
ry %. and the body placed in another
abandoned mine. A dog was killed
and hung in tree to account for any
odor that might be noticed. Coch,
ran, he says, was held by John Hud'
son, while Wilbur Slaughter and
Wiley Lewis beat his brains out with
a stone. When Lewis was arrested
the gang blew up the mouth of this
mine to prevent an entrance. Slaugh-
ter, who was arrested last week, is in
Jail here, but refuses to talk. The
others are in jail at Fayetville.

Bryan and His Book.

Hon. VIM. J. Bryan will give one.
half of the royalties received from the
sale of his book, 1.-The First Battle.
to the cause of bimetallism. and has
appointed a committee whose duty
will be to properly expend the funds
reserved for that purroEe. The COM
mittee is composed of the following
persons: Senator James K. Johnes,
of Arkansas; Senator Henry M. Tell.
er. of Colorado: Senator William V.
Allen, of Nebraska; and Hon. A. }.
Warner, president of the National
Bimetal lie Union. In answer to the
communication from his publishers,
W. B. Conkey Company, Chicago,
stating that $16,0S was due him as
royalty on the first months sales.
Mr.. Bryan at once instructed them to
forward 81, 500 to Mr.. Jones, 1,5OO to
Mr.. Warner, 81, 500 to Mr.. Allen and
$500 to Mr.. Teller, and certified checks
for these amounts were sent. MIR.
Jones is to spend his portion in pro
noting the cause of bimetalism
through the Democratic party; Mr..
Warner is to disburse the money re-
ceived by him through the channels
afforded by the National Bimetallic
Union; Mr.. Teller will expsnd his por.
tion for the bimetallic cause through
the silver Republicans, and Mr.. Al,
len will employ his portion in ad-
vancing the interest of bimetalism
through the Populist party. Mr..
Bryan based his division of the amount
to rs EXP snded on the fact that he re-
ceived 4,500,000 demo cratic votes,
10000 populist votes, and 100000
republican votes, recognizing at the
same time the work done by the Ma.
tional Union as a non-partisan organ
ization. The Spartanburg Herald in
commenting on the above cay that the
enemies of Mr.. Bryan will at last be
forced to abandon their captious criti-
cisms. So long as the wrongs he
seeks to right exist, there will be
found those who will stand by HIM.
So long as the trusts oppress, men will
seek relief and until something is done
to relieve the widespread depression
that exists in this country especially in
agricultural sections, there will be
those who will seek to get relief.

Goes Democratic Now

DANBURY, March 31.-Danbury's
municipal election resulted in an
overwhelming victory for the Demo
cratic ticket. Even the first Ward,
which gives a normal Republican
majority of $50, elected a Democrat
as councilman. Danbury, last Novem-
Der, gave 800 majority for Mckinley,
but the promised of prosperity has
failed to materialize. The election
places the Democratic party in COM
plete control of the city, the common
council being Democratic by two ma
jority on joint ballot and all other Of
fees being filled by Democrats.

South. When, on the one hand, we
find no corn being imported, and on
the other more than score of nations
sending their sugar to our shores the
conclusion must force itself upon
everyone that grave injustice is be-
| ing perpetrated, and a fair reciprocity
does not exist. If raw sugar received
the same fostering care from the gov.
ernment as the manufacturers of New
England it would require but few
years for the South to produce all the
sugar we consume. But the present
bill by means of its differential duty
largely favors the refners at the ex-
pense of the producers.
Mr.. Speaker, is it not time for some
representative from the Cotton States
to stand on the floor of this House and
defend the interests of the cotton
planter2 Should not reciprocity OF
protection for his toll bs demanded
Why should the wheat grower be pro-
tected against his near neighbor, and
the cotton planter left to be plunder'
ed by the whole world2 In my opin-
ion it is an outrage and should no
longer be permitted. The amendments
which I will propose, placing duty
of q cents per pound on all imported
cotton, and 2 cents per pound on un-
cleaned rice, are but simple justice to
the South.
If you decline to accept my amend
ment for a duty on raw cotton, then
you should, in justice, strike out from
this bill all duties on the manufactured
article. This would reduce the price
of cotton goods and thereby increase
their consumption, and as a result the
price of raw cotton would be incress.
