INDUSTRIAL AWAKENING.
Manufactures Running Over Time and tnIarg-
 ing Their Plants.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Anniston, March 19.-There has been an industrial awakening in this portion of Alabama and the outlook is more encour- aging than for many months. The blowing in of the Ironaton furnace Is considered significant and is looked upon as lhe fore runner of greater activity in iron manufac- ture in this section. The Illinois Car and Equipment company. one of the largest con cerns of the kind in the country, is now in full operation and Is seeking skilled labor in the north MT. o. M. Stimson, general manager of the company, recently left for northern cities looking for expert axle makers. The Anniston Manufacturing company's large cotton mill has been rur- ming overtime this week. The big plant of the Anniston pipe works, which was burned some months ago, has been rebuilt on a larger scale than before and will be- gin operations within month or six weeks.
 The most important industrial item that has come to the surface recently, however, concerns the American Net and Irvine company of this city. The head office Of the company is in Boston. About year ago the company established a factory in this city as a venture. They are now work ing 15O men and are making 2,OO0 pounds of yarns and twine week. Anniston's plant has been so satisfactory that the company has decided to at once double the work ing force and run night as well as day. One hundred additional men win be put on as quickly as they can be employed and the company hopes to immediately increase the output of the Anniston plant to 5O,OOO rounds a week. The company owns its own electric light plant and is we'll hxe't for night work It is believed here that this increase in the working force is put the forerunner of an early increase in the size Of the plant
 The company has already commencrd building ten new four-room cottages nea' the factory. There yere already large number of cottages there but the increase il force makes it necessary for more houses to he huiH

There is no denial of the incident, but the authority for the action is contained in an order issued by Assistant Secretary of War Dana.
 Recently a southern senator Of influence, who has long had knowledge of Gen. Miles connection with Jefferson Davis impris- onment, wrote letter to the senate com mittee on military affairs, in which he call ed attention to the records at the war de- partment He said he regarded it as pe- culiarly ill-advised and ill-timed, now that an era of good feeling had been reached be- tween the north and the south, and es- pecially in view of the recent demonstra- tion of patriotism in congress, to take any step that might disturb the unity of the sections and revive bitter memories of the civil war. The effort to promote General Miles, he was sure, would be resented by many patriotic southern people. He also expressed the belief that General Miles military achievements were not such as to entitle him to higher honor.
 The following dispatches secured from the archives of the war department were sent to the committees:
 War Department,
 Washington City, May 2S, 1865. Mai Gen. Miles, Commanding Fort Mon- roe, Va:
 Please report whether irons have or have not been placed on Jefferson Davis If they have been when it was done, and for what reason, and remove them.
 EDWIN M. STANTON,
 Secretary of War Fort Monroe, Va, May 2S, 1S65-2:30 D. m. Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of Var l have the honor to state, in reply to your dispatch, that when Jeff Davis was first confined in the casemate the inner

 I directed anklets to be put upon his kles, which would not interfere with his walking, but would prevent his running should he endeavor to escape. In the mean time I have changed the wooden doors for grated ones with locks, and the anklets have been removed. Every care is taken to avoid any pretense for complaint as well as to prevent the possibility of his escape. I remain, with the highest respect, your obedient servant
 N A. MILES, Brgadier General.
 Ordered by Assistant Secretary Dana
 An investigation was made after these records had been sumbitted to the com mittee. Gen. Miles was found to be fully prepared to meet the case He at once pro- duced the following order as his authority:
 Fort Monroe, Va, May p, 1865. Brevet Ma. j.-Gen. Miles is hereby author ized and directed to place manacles and letters upon the hands and feet of Jeffer- son Davis and Clement c. Clay, Jr., when ever he may think it advisable in order to render their imprisonment more secure. By order of the secretary of war
 c. A. DANA,
 Assistant Secretary of War. In addition to this Gen. Miles told his friends on the committee that he had also a copy of the proclamation of President Johnson, associating Jefferson Davis with the assassination of Lincoln, and, which, in his opinion, would have justified extra ordinary precautions, if the direct order to that effect had not been given by MT. Dana. This proclamation distinctly averred that 'it appears from evidence in the bu- reau of military justice that the atrocious murder of the late president, Abraham Lincoln, and the attempted assassination of the Hon. W. H. Seward, secretary of state were melted, concerted, and procured by and between Jefferson Davis late of Richmond, Va, and Jacob Thompson, Clement c. Clay, Beverly Tucker, George N. Sanders, W. c. Cleary, and other rebels and traitors against the government of the United States" Rewards, ranging from siO0 0OO for the arrest of Davis to $l0,OOO for the arrest of Clay, were offered.
 MT. Pettus Was Converted
 All this data has been seen by members of the committee, and it is also said that there is in existence a private letter from MT. Dana, written thirty years after the occurrence, in which he refers to the order he gave to Gen. Miles to place irons upon Davis. There is no doubt that the produc- tion of MT. Dana's order had considerable effect upon the minds of some of the sena- tors on the committee, and MT. Pettus, of Alabama. was frank to say that Gen. Miles had obeyed orders, and he would vote for him, which he did When the vote was taken on the motion to report the bill fa- vorably, the committee stood eight to three, as follows:
 Affirmative-Hawley, Proctor, Shoup, Sewell, Warren, Carter, Mitchell, Pettus. Negative--I3ate Cockrell and Walthall. Senator Proctor was absent, but was re- corded as for the bill. All the republicans

for beer that has ever reached the
United States from the Orient. Sixty
seven carloads of bottled beer, ass, 600
bottles, will leave Milwaukee within a
few days for Manila, via Hong Kong.
The shipment being divided into three
trains, one leaving via the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Canadian Pacific
railway, one via the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul, Missouri Pacific, Den-
yer & Rio Grande, Rio Grande Western
and Southern Pacific Route and the
other via the Chicago, Milwaukee and

Pacific lines. From the coast the ship
ment goes forward via the Pacific mail
steamer "Clengile" and the Canadian
Pacific steamer Empress of China"
both sailing early in September. The
trains will be conspicuously hammered
with large duck signes, and will nc
doubt be gazed at by thousands in the
various cities and towns through which
they pass. The people of the Orien,
evidently know good thing when they
see it, and the Schlitz company certain
ly do, as is evidenced by the fact tina,
the entire shipment goes over the Chi

Conference COnfest-GoY. Steu-
nenberQ is Renominafed.
Four silver parties met in state con-
yention at the state capital Wednesday
Of last week. 1t was the purpose OF the
three silver parties to meet on the same
date, effect three cornerd fusion and
nominate q full state ticket.
The Silver Republican convention
Was the first TO effect q permanent or
ganization, appointed q conference
committee and then notified the other
parties that they were ready to confer
with them.
The Democrats were delayed In Or
ganiza.ion more than day on occount
Of the Bingham county contest. This
matter was placed In the hands OF the
committee on credentials and after a
thorough investigation vote was taken
by them at l2:A5 Thursday morning
favoring the seating OF the Steunenberg
delegation by vote OF IL to s. The
committee presented majority and mi.
nority reports and tnen the contest be.
gan In convention. A motion to seat
both delegations WAS defeated by q vote
OF 81 to 62 and majority report OF the
committee In favor OF seating the Steu
nenberg delegation WAS then adopted
by vote 81 TO AZ.
The Populists met In two conventions
organized and each appointed a com
mittee OF five on harmony, and these
two committees worked faithfully from
Wednesday until Saturday morning
bu, could not reach an agreement.
Friday afternoon the Democrats AND
Silver Republicans notified each Popu
list convention they would not dea
with factions and recommended that 4
the Populists did not get together b,
o'clock Saturday morning they woult
proceed without them. AT 2:30 p. m
the Populists could not harmonic ant
so the conference committees of tn,
Democrats and Silver Republicans pro
ceeded TO name a ticket. A hitch o,
which party should have governo
caused another delay until 1890 Satur
day night, and 1t was though, by man.
| for while that no fusion could b.
made-however basis for union ans
a division was agreed upon and th'
strong ticket in another column to-da.
was nominated and ratified by both con
ventions.
Both Populist conventions now beini
left out OF the fusion propositions eacl
proceeded TO name two straight stat
tickets which are also found In anothe
