Only the Details Of Organization Remain
To BE Settled.

States Baking Company, returned to
Pittsburg, Pa, Sunday from New
York and announced that the CONSOLE
dalton Of three cracker companies Of
the United States is an assured fact.
The deal has been practically con.
summated, and only details of organi-
cation remain to be settled.
The capitalization Of the big com.
bine, he says, will be S55, 900, 900 and
it will be in operation by January ].

NEW PRISON COMMISSIONERS.
GcorRia's Governor Names the Men to
Operate New Convict system.

Gcorgia's Governor Names the Men to
Operate New Convict System.
Governor Atkinson, Tuesday morn
ing, appointed the three prison CON-
missioners Of Georgia under the
provision of the new convict law.
They are: Joe s. Turner, Of Putnam
county; Clement A. Evans, Of Fulton;
Jacob L. Beach, Of Glynn.
These three men will put into oper.
alton the new convict system provided
for by the recent Legislature.
The appointments were formally
rendered Tuesday morning and accept.
ed. A meeting of the commissioners
was afterwards held and Mr.. Turner
was elected chairman. Douglass Gless.
ner, Of Spalding, was elected secretary,
and Jake @. Moore, of Floyd, in.
spector. The commissioners were
sworn in by Governor Atkinson just
after he signed the bill abolishing the
Offices Of principal and assistant keeper
and creating the prison commission.
The men drew lots for terms OF
Office. Mr.. Beach drew the fve-year
card; Mr.. Evans the three and Turner
the one-year term.
These appointments are the most
important and significant of the year,
and the selection of General Evans
amounts TO almost a sensation.
The governor and the general are
cid political opponents. In the cam
paign for governor three years ago
they were pitted against each other.
The latter has been regarded as a
possibility in the next campaign,
and his following among the vet.
Grams Of the state made him q dan
gerous opponent for any other candi.
date seeking the soldier vote. His &C.
ceptance Of the post will give the pc.
litical prophets something to think
about. As far as the appointment is
concerned, however, it is nothing more
than the recognition of his worth and
fitness for one Of the most important
positions in the gift Of the state at this
or any other time. The governor,
who is o student of men, has settled
upon him as man in every way capac.
itated for the work.

ANDREWS CRITICISED.
President of Brown University Again In
Controversy.

President of Brown University Again In
Controversy.
A dispatch from Providence, r. l.,
says: President Benjamin Andrews,
Of Brown university, whose freedom
Of utterance on the money question
led to a bitter contest between him
and the trustees of the university last
spring, is again in controversy. This
time it is with the g. A. r. and the
churchly admirers of the Armenian,
both Of which bodies declare that he
has been unjust and unwise, while
some of the latter insist that he has
been talking on matter Of which he
knows nothing.
Recently DR.. Andrews went to
Chicago to lecture on the Generals
Of the Confederacy, and in the course
of his remarks he praised General
Robert E. Lee at the expense of some
of the generals Union adversaries.
The second instance in which DR..
Andrews has sown the seeds OF trouble
for himself was in the statement that
the Turks are "nobler and more
moral race than the Armenians." This
has reused the Indignation of christian
people in all parts of the country, and
local papers have helped spread the
feeling by charge that DR.. Andrews
personal acquaintance with the Turks
was limited to thirty-six hours visit
to Constantinople.
The result is that many who SYM
pathized with DR.. Andrews in his for
mer trouble have been among the first
to condemn his latest utterances.

NOLCOTT NAY WALK OUT
SILVER SENATOR DISPLEASED AT
CAGES FINANCIAL POLICY,
THREATENS TO LEAVE SENATE.
While on Friendly Terms with Mckinley,
the Colorado Man Is Openly Antag.
onistic to Secretary Of Treasury

A Washington specirl says: The
publication of Senator Wolcott's threat
to resign from the United States sem
ate created a sensation in political cir
cles at the capitol.
While many believe that his indig-
nation may sufficiently cool to prevent
the actual REIMBURSEMENT of his seat,
all agree that his return to the advo.
cacy OF free and unlimited silver coin.
age is certain.
The position in which Senator Vol.
colt is placed is we'll understood by
oil those who realize the peculiar sit
uation which has developed with re-
spect to the administration and the
monetary commission Of which the
Colorado senator is chairman. Either
President Mckinley and Secretary
Gage are at variance or Senator VOL
colt and his sympathizers are utterly
deceived as to the presidents attitude.
Mr.. Wolcott has since his return from
Europe talked long and earnestly
with the president, and yet he defends
the president while taking a pc sition
Of open antagonism to Secretary Gage.
The assertion is made by Mr.. VOL.
colts sympathizers that Secretary
Gage represents the administration
and il it were not for the political dis.
turbance it would cause Mr.. Gage to
retire from the cabinet.
This assertion, witch is now made
privately, is likely to be made publicly
before long. If this is done, the issue
will be raised and the public will know
the facts. The result will probably
be that Mr.. Wolcott will find that he
has misunderstood the position of the
position of the president and will then
dramatically announce his indignation
at the administration.
The president can hardly be in SYM
pathy with both Secretary Gage and
the Colorado senator, as Gage stands
simply for gold and Wolcott for silver
alone.
As things are now tending, the pres
ident will probably have to break with
one or the other of them and unless
he is misunderstood by the leaders Of
his party and persons closest to him,
the break will not be with the secre-
tary Of the treasury.
The committee room Of Senator
Wolcott was beseiged Wednesday by
those desiring a confirmation or denial
of the authentic statement that he
contemplates forwarding his resigna-
ton to the governor of his state un-
less the presidents Endorsement Of
Secretary Cages financial plans should
be less direct and pronounced.
No satisfactory information was
given to these inquiries.

The trial resulted in a sensation tb .

an audience in an Atlanta court room
lhe climax was reached when Mr.. Har.
Sey johnson, representing Solicitor
ONeill, uttered a bitter, whitening
and fearful denunciation of Stein,
Facing the editor of The Looking
Glass, who was standing near him.
Mr.. johnson said:
Shall liar, forger, q scoundrel
and q convict be allowed to besmirch
the reputation of an hon orable man
and 60 unpublished? Shall such a
creature stalk abroad, attacking the
purity Of our women and even LAYING
his vile hands upon the bride at the
altar, and escape the chastisement he
deserves?"
Stein paled and his hands moved
convulsively when the anathema was
hurled at him. His voice trembled
with suppressed rage. He said:
"Can I have the protection Of this
court?"
Detective Looney had quickly ap-
preached the side of Stein, and Police
Captain Thompson was near Mr.. John

The most intense excitement pre-
vailed. The recorder nodded to Mr..
Johnson to proceed, at the same time
telling Stein he could make a reply.

''That is q lie," shouted Stein.

"You can see me on the streets

johnson. II will not go through any
formality with such a creature as you,
but I will protect myself when the

The trial ended by the recorder fin
ing Mr.. O'Neill ten dollars and costs.
Mr.. Orth Stein was seen later and
made the following statement at his
room in the Kimball:
"The attack upon me today by
Harvey johnson was so cowardly, so
gratuitous and so unspeakably cruel
that I lack words to ftly characterize
it.

Governor Atkinson Of Georgia has
passed upon all the bills and resolu-
tons sent him by the Legislature, and
this is the result:
Bills passed.. -. 80. ............,. .23o
Bills approved. 80. 80. go. 80. ........2sA
Bills vetoed .,.................. 80.
Resolutions adopted. .................. "a
Resolutions vetoed. ....... ..........".
The single bill vetoed was that which
prohibited football playing in Geor.
gia. The veto of resolution Is some
thing of departure in executive &C.
subject to veto. But in this particular
ease the governor holds that the reso-
luton really enacted law and was,
therefore, subject to the same execu-
tive consideration as other ordinances
classified as bills. II was the resolu-
ton declaring in favor Of national
quarantine law. In explaining his ac-
ton on this resolution the governor
said:
"This resolution evidently intended
to have the effect of law, because it
was read three times in each house
and proposed to surrender to the ma
tional government an important power
which is now vested in the state.
Notwithstanding the fact that II pass
ed the senate unanimously and the
house by vote of so to 20, it could
not be law were I TO sign 1t, since it
did not receive the constitutional
majority of SO votes. Even had IL re-
ceived such votes, I should have at
tached my veto, as I believe its pas
sage would have been O great mistake.
IT am believer in the democratic
doctrine of states rights and local
self government. This bill Is an
abandonment Of that creed and Is in
conflict with the best teaching Of JEFF
ferson, Madison and all the great ex-
Founders Of the democratic position
on this question.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

Did you ever see race between two balloons? If not you can enjoy this novel spectacle Saturday at 4:45 D. m. at the Point Professor La Roux who has been making the balloon ascensions there for the last week, has arranged a match between his wife as the aeronaut in one balloon and Lawrence Davis of Beechwood, Mass, as the other. The points of balloon race are said to be five, viz.
 First-The quickest to begin ascen- sion.
 Second-The highest ascension.
 Third-The best parachute drop.
 Fourth-Best trapeze performance in mid-air.
 Fifth-Best general management.
 The winner of three out of five of these points wins the race. As this is probably the first race in New Haven between two balloons there will no doubt be a crowd to witness the event if the weather is favorable The indi- cations seem to favor good weather for Saturday. This week is the last of these balloon ascension, said by many to be the best ever shown here The vaudeville entertainment which pre- cedes the balloon ascension, is very strong in comedy.

JOYFUL HoNOLIJLU.

Mrs. Jordan of Honolulu, formerly Miss Alice Lees of Westport, writing to a friend, Mrs. Frank R. Merrael of New York, now stopping in Conneeti- cut, speaks of the Joyful state of mind the people there are in. When the first ships with troops from the United States came it was just about sundown and they arrived within a few minutes of each other, Several of the island boats carried the band and the ladies and gentlemen of the different commit tees for entertaining the visitors. Smal craft went out to meet, greet and escort them In. All the rest of Hono- lulu were on the wharves and shipping anchored there, and as each transport came we went into transports. Every body was cheering and shouting, All the steam whistles were eXerting them selves to the utmost Bands were playing patriotic airs, and I can assure you the noise was frightful That was a sample of the greeting given the troop ships. Honolulu was thrown open to teh boys in blue. They were given shore liberty by their officers, and, as they strolled about the city, everyone's heart went out to them and many fam lilies entertained them at lunch or din- ner. Two of the best drug stores gave them soda water free Stationery was furnished them, and postage on their letters and papers home paid by the government You can imagine some thing of what that means when l tell you one young man said he har writ tnn ciytU-Siy Inttpre Of fWpntV- eight pages, to his father. All the thousands of soldiers were given a bountiful lunch of bread and butter, sandwiches, cold meats, cake, pies, or anges, bananas, pineapples and coffee, and were waited on by the most charming girls of Honolulu. The cheers that went up from their appre- ciative throats for the ladies of Homo lulu were hard and strong, and many were the protestations that, if they ever came back from Manila, their in tention was to settle in the Hawaiian Islands, where, as one of them said, The women are all queens and the men all kings and that 1t was the nearest place to heaven he had ever seen. Last week the steamer Coptic came in all decorated with flags, bring ing the welcome news that we are fin ally part of the United States. Again all Honolulu frantic and American flags suddenly sprang into view on carriages and bicycles and were waved exulting- ly by the male portion of the communi- ty, heldep on occasionally by an en- thusiastic piece of femininity carried quite out of herself by the joy all about her. Now we are awaiting the arrival of Admiral Miller to raise Old Glory when there will be such celebration as Honolulu has never known, although we have had some pretty big times here. ."-Norwalk Hour.
