 NEW YORK, March 0.-CommanderW H. Brownson, U. $. N, sailed for South ampton on the American line steam ship St. Paul. He said to a reporter: 'I am going to England under orders direct from the navy department, not from the president. My mission is to prepare for the exigencies of the situa tion. and to see what can be had and what can be done, in case of war, the possibilities of which think are very remote. The vote of S50, ,OOO 900 shows our readiness to enter upon vigorous preparations, and that in itself will have the effect of making war unlike ly. l may be absent month, and per haps longer. expect to be weeks in London, but I can not tell where l shall go after reaching England" Commander Brownson was asked whether he intended visiting the yards of Narrow, the big British torpedo boat builder. He did not answer directly, but gave the impression that he would look at everything in the line of pur- chaseable war craft.
 The commanders attention was called to the published statements that foreign ships-builders are trying to sell their poorer stock to the United States. You may rest assured" said he, that they won't sell me any trash. D

A Hint From Charles II. Cramp,

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-Charles H. Cramp, head of the great ship building firm, says there is a deliberate attempt under way to frighten the United States into buying ships it does not need and could not use He said: This clamor about buying warshps abroad is all instigated by syndicate of adventurers, who are trying to get big commissions by helping English and German ship builders to unload on the United States number of unsafe able vessels which they have built, either on speculation or under contracts with various secoud-rate powers that are not able to pay for them. Such syndicates are always formed at the beginning of all threatened wars.
 Briefly, this scheme is conspiracy on the part of certain daring operators in this country and England to take advantage of the existing situation to force the hand of congress and the ad- ministration.

WEDDING FOLLOWS WHIPPING.
LINCOLNTON'S LOVE AFFAIR NOT
BROKEN UP BY THE LASH.

Mr.. Smith Meets Mrs. Groves at Au-
gusta i'm Response to "A Telegram
She Sent Him Announcing Her
Readiness to Fulfill Their Engage
ment-The Bride Indignant at a
Card Published by DIR. Caldwell
Attacking Her sanity.
Augusta, Ga, March Al. X. Smith of
Washington and Mrs. w, H. Groves of
Lincolnton, to whose love affair has been
given so much undesirable notoriety are
tonight guests at the Bussey House in
Augusta as man and wife.
Mr.. Smith arrived this afternoon in
obedience to a summons from Mrs. Groves
notifying him of her presence here and
her readiness to fulfill their engagement.
Mr.. Smith came armed with a marriage
license, and accompanied by three friends,
j. s. Rhodes, c. NJ. Ware and John Hol-
linshead of Washington.
The services of Dr. ]. T. Kendall, pas
tor of the st. John Methodist Church.
were secured and in the presence of
the friends already named, and several
friends of the bride at the boarding
house. the ceremony was performed.
Mrs. Groves was quite indignant at a
card of DIR. Caldwell that was published
this morning, and especially at that por-
ton rejecting upon her mental status.
She says she is perfectly willing to sub
NIT her sanity to any board of compe-
tent medical experts. 1t is certain there
is nothing in her looks or conversation
that indicates insanity. She is an attrac-
tive looking woman. under 40 years old and
the groom is a rather prepossessing look
ing man, perhaps a few years her junior.
Neither of them cared to say more than
Caldwell. They seemed to think their
marriage was the fullest pos
sible answer to it, and that
anything further at this time
is unnecessary, though MIR. Smith says he
shall live in Lincolnton, and that he will
maintain his rights, which he is now in a
position to do. He denies the statement
| that he accepted pay for his whip, which
was broken in whipping him, and saws
if young Groves got in the buggy with him
after the affair, he did not know It, He
says that one blow Of the whip cut his
flesh on the wrist when he threw up his
hand, and that DIR. Caldwell afterwards
put chloroform on it, and he thinks that
he must have been chloroformed at the
same time, as his recollection is very In
distinct after that. When asked if ne Do
posed to take the matter up again, now
That he was married he replied: II could
not do anything else"
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith spend tonight in
| Augusta. and leave for Wa shinpt In 1 ne
morning. Later they purpose going to
Lincolnton to look after Mrs. Groves prop
! erty interests there. They seem quite hap
by at present, though embarrassed by
their notoriety, and not disturbed about
| the future.

APPROPRIATIONS BILLS PASSED.

Sent to the President.

The Pension and Consular Measures
Sent to the President.
Washington, March 1.-Two more appro-
priation bills were sent to the President
to-day-the pension bill and the consular
and diplomatic bill, both of which Went
through their final stage in the House to-
day.
This was private bill day. The most i'm
portant action taken was acquiescence in
an agreement to make the bill appropriat-
ing about $1,2OOOOO for war claims .ap-
proved by the court of claims under the
provisions of the Bowman act a special
order for next Friday. The claims car
ried by the bill. $50 in number are for
stores and supplies seized during the war
in the Southern states.
Only two other bills were passed to-day
one to pay the heirs of Sterling T. Austin
about $4,000 for cotton seized during the
war, and the other to pay an aggregate
of So, 1860 in full claims growing out of back
pay etc. earned during the war.
The House adjourned till Monday.
During the debate on a minor relief bill
Mr.. Handy, Dem, of Delaware, who was
attempting to contrast the promises made
by President Mckinley In his inaugural
year ago to-day with their fulfllment
was called to order for not speaking to
the question before the committee.
Mr.. Payne sustained the point of order,
and an appeal was taken. The Democrats
protested that the practice had always
been to allow the widest latitude in COM
mittee of the whole, and Mr.. McMilln
declared this and kindred rulings marked
the gradual decadence in the right of
speech in the House.
On the appeal thew ote was 81 to 81
Mr. Payne. who was in the chair, an
nounced the result.
''The vote is a tie," said he, land the
chair votes in the affirmative, so that the
decision of the chair stands as the decision
of the House."
AT o'clock, under the rules, the House
recessed until o'clock, the evening session
to be devoted to private pension bills.

lima Turn Robbers.
Columbia, S. c., March 4.-For more than
a year it has been known that something
was very crooked in the locality of Po-
maria, Newberry county, but the arm of
the law seemed TO be palsed; crimes were
committed not chronicled abroad; stores
were wantonly burned, robberies boldly
committed but no arrests nor prevention
followed.
The Southern depot was burned, after
being robbed. Then it was robbed so re-
peatedly that they threatened to discon-
tinue business there Finally detective
went to work in that community. What
he discovered may not be told, but after
he worked there while it was whispered
that several of the robbers had been spot
ted. Soon after a number of the wealth
lest farmers in that section accompanied
the detective to Newberry There were
whispers of a heavy fine being paid and
the safety of goods in the Pomaria depot
guaranteed. These were rumors and since
then the depot has not been robbed.
But stores and gin houses have suffered.
Bales of cotton, were hauled off and gin
houses burned to hide crime.
AS a citizen of the place expresses 1t,
Jameses, and none cared to strike for
fear of being struck back" so bold and
daring had they become that good white
men saw parties drive into town in bright
moonlight or early dawn, rob a store and
leave, without ever reporting the matter
or the names, however well the parties
were known. for fear of being forever ST.
fenced.
Some time ago the store of e. r. Hipp
was robbed and burned. Two weeks ago
the big general merchandise house of d.
Eipp was robbed He made no outcry
but employed a foreign detective who
has just had James A Riser his three
sons, Albert F., Joe and William, all
maintaining separate establishments, John
Buckley, and several negro employees ar
rested. Stolen goods by the wagon load
were found in their possession. One item
was forty kegs of blasting powder.
The white men are substantial farmers
1t is generally understood the arrests
have just begun, and that from twenty
five to forty men are implicated. The
astonishing part Is that some of the most
respected farmers, men of families and
strict church members-none of them hav-
ing independent means--are involved. It
is the most remarkable thing of the kind
ever brought to light in This state

SESSION OF THE SENATOR'S.
Alaskan Homestead and Rights of
Way Bill Passed.

Washington, March 4-After a flebnte
lasting several days the Senate at last
this afternoon passed the bill extending
the homestead bill providing for right of
ways in the District of Alaska Compare
lively little discussion of general interest
was created by the bill.
Section Is, providing for certain bonding
concessions to Canada in lieu of privi-
leges to be extended by the dominion gov
eminent to this country, however, induced
a pretty lively debate as it brought into
the controversy the old fisheries question
on the New England coast which has been
pending between the United States and
Great Britain for hundred years.
The statement was made on the floor Of
the Senate that there was every reason to
believe that by the passage of the bin the
fisheries question could be settled without
great effort, as assurances to that effect
had been received from a large and intlu-
entail element in Canada.
The Senate, at sos o'clock, went into OK
ecutive session, and at $50 o'clock ad-
journed until Monday.

BERNER CALLS ON GAMBLER.

Atlanta, Ga, March 4.-Hon. R. L. Ber-
ner. the latest entry into the gubernato-
rial contest, made his first visit to At
lanta since his announcement to-day. He
visited the capitol, and during the after
noon paid a call upon Col. Gambler in the
Secretary of States Office
In greeting Col. Gambler, Mr.. Berner said
that several weeks ago he had called there
to shake hands with the man whom he be-
ieved would be the next Governor. To-
day he called 10 give that man a chance
TO shake with the next Governor.
Col. Gambler met the sally with the re-
mark that Mr.. Berner was probably right
in his first promise. The meeting was en-
tirely a friendly one.
Later on Mr.. Berner said it would be
his studious purpose to make clean,
heightened honorable campaign, out of
which he would emerge, whether success
full or not without i'll will toward his COM
petitors or giving them any cause for i'll
will toward him.
There was a report going the rounds to-
day that efforts were being quietly made
to get Judge Atkinson to leave the field
and allow the opposition to Col Gambler
to be concentrated upon Mr.. Berner, but
MIR. Berner would not discuss the rumor,
treating it purely as idle gossip.
Col. Gambler made his first speech since
the announcement of his candidacy be-
fore his home Gambler club in Gainesville
last night. 1t was more of a talk than a
stump speech, and his friends do not re-
gard it as the formal opening gun of his
fight. Mr.. Berner will make his first
speech in his home county next week,
and Judge Atkinson is booked to open his
campaign at Rome
