FARMERS UNION IN MORGAN.
Preliminary Steps For An organiza-
tion-Nebeker's Idea

Morgan. Feb. ia number of the farm
ers of Morgan county met in the county
court house Thursday evening for the
purpose of organizing a Farmers union
in this county. Considerable talk was in
dulged in. a temporary chairman was Sc
lected in the person Of Richard Fry; o.
Is. Anderson was chosen secretary. u
committee on constitution and b-r-laws
was appointed. Some resolutions were
adopted and the meeting adjourned till
Feb. y. 1899.
The North Morgan and Milton wares
are making arrangements to give the cd
folks a party in their respective wards on
Wednesday next Extensive arrangements
are being made. Everybody will turn out
with their cooked food and try and make
it gala day for the old folks.
Everyone in Morgan county is anxious
to see the senatorial contest ended. The
comments are various. Senator Cannon's
speech. it is thought by some. would
make him lose votes from some of the
seven who are Mormons. The story is
going the rounds here on good authority
that President Nebeker of the senate told
some one or two of his colleagues of the
Republican faith that there would be no
election of senator until he was ready 20
say the word.

FIGHT OVER THE CANAL BILL
MAY DEFEAT RIVER AND HAIR
BoR APPROPRIATIONS.
Senate's Nicaragua Amendment Is
Too Heavy q Load For the Appro-
priation Bill to Garry.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Chairman Bur
ton of the house river and harbor
committee stated today that he feared
the river and horbor bill would fail to
become a law as the result of the ac-
ton of the senate commerce committee
in adding the Nicaragua canal amend
ment
Il am not opposed TO the Nicaragua
canal" said Mr.. Burton, but it is a
vast project, to be approached with due
deliberati0n, and not carried along as
. rider with, perhaps, only a few min
utes consideration. Every item Of the
original bill was carefully scrutinized
by the committee, but it will be i'm
possible, if this amendment comes
back, TO give it like scrutiny in the few
remaining days of congress, or to rec
oncile il with the original character Of
the bill. Viewed from a practical stand
point, the amendment creates a com
bination of opposing elements-the OPP
position to any river and harbor bill.
the opposition to any Nicaragua canal,
the opposition to this form of dealing
with the Nicaragua canal, the epposi-
ton Of such men as Mr.. Cannon to
heavy expenditures. and the opposition
to the senate increase in the river and
ndrDOr Items. Altogether. i am Sc
riOusly apprehensive that these COM
bined elements of opposition will de-
feat the river and harbor bill and the
Nicaragua amendment as we'll"
Il is expected that a test will be made
on. the bill, if the senate retains the
Nicaragua canal paragraph, when it
reaches the house. The usual procedure
would be to disagree to the senate
amendments as whole and ask a con-
ference But in this case. friends of
the Nicaragua canal say there Will be
a motion either to concur with the ca
nal amendment or else to instruct the
house eonferees to substitute the Hep
burn canal bill. Chairman Hepburn
and otner members of the commerce
committee do not approve the form of
the senate canal amendment as il is
said to recognize private concessions.
They. therefore. viii endeavor to pre-
serve the Nicaragua feature in the river
and harbor bill. and yet substitute strict
government control, as embodied in the
Hepburn bill. The presidents are be-
ing examined and. under these. it is
said the motion to concur, with an
amendment substituting the house pro-
position for that Of the senate. would
take precedence over a motion to non
concur. The most recent ruling was by
Mr.. Payne. who, while in the chair, held
that motion to concur with an amend
ment took preference over strict mo-
ton to concur, and the latter over a
motion to non-concur.

The novel feature of the meetings has
been that the elders proceeded just as
they do in the world, by treating the
people as though they had no knowledge
of MormOnism whatever. The elders have
done their own singing, praying and
preaching. Fundamental doctrines and
ordinances believed in by the Mormons
have been discoursed upon. The house

this time a good supply of brush and
tirewood had been placed about the
negro's feet. This pyre was thor
oughly saturated and a match ap-
piled. A flame shot up and spread
quickly over the pile of wood. AS it
licked the negro's legs he shrieked

smoke entered his eyes and mouth.

of the chains which bound him to the

far as the thighs, lunged forward. thus
escaping the flames, which roared and
cracked about his feet. One of the
men nearest the burning negro quickly
ran up. and, pushing him back. SAID.

none of those nearer than 100 feet OF
the center was able to see what was
going on. Yell after yell went up. The
torch was applied about half-past z
and at o'clock the body of Hose was
limp and lifeless, his head hanging TO
one side. The body was cut to pieces.
The crowd fought for places about the
smOldering tree, and with knives Sc
cured some pieces of his carcass that
did not fall to pieces. The chain was

General Otis to-day respecting the ope-
rations in the vicinity of Quengua, and
while regretting greatly the severe
losses sustained, they were 10th to COM
ment on it in the absence of fuller in
formation. From what was received it
is evident that the troops engaged in
the lighting were a portion of those
comprised in General MacArthur's di-
vision, and probably were engaged in
clearing the jungle of bands of insur
gents infesting it. Much admiration
was expressed for the valor shown by
the Americans under the strong fire of
the insurgents and in face of the un-
favorable climatic conditions. The dis
patches were sent to the White House
for the Presidents information. Adju-
tant General Corbin was with the Presi-
dent for a short while during the even

GOVERNOR GAMBLER
TALKS OF THE LYNCHlNG

ATLANTA, Ga, April Ex-Governor
Gambler tonight gave the Associated
Press the following statement on the
burning of Sam Hose:
The whole thing is deplorable, and
Hoses crime, the horrid details of
which have not been published, and are
too horrible for publication, is the most
diabolical in the annals of crime. The
negroes of that community lost the pest
opportunity they will ever have to ele-
Vate themselves in. the estimation OF
their white neighbors. The diabollcal
nature of the double crime was well
known to every one of them; the per
petrator was we'll kno"-n and they>owed
it to their race TO exhaust every means
of bringing Hose to justice. This
course would have done more to elevate
them in the estimation of the good peo
pie and to protect their race against
the mob than all the rewards and proc
lamations of the Governors for the next
fifty years.
But they lost the opportunity, and
it is a deplorable fact that while scores
of intelligent negroes, leaders of their
race, have talked to me about the
Palmetto lynching. not one of them
has ever in the remoteSt way alluded
to either the burning of Palmetto,
which provoked the lynching, nor to
the diabolical crime of Hose. l do not
believe these men sympathized with
Hose or the Palmetto incendiaries, but
they are blinded by race prejudice
and can see but one side Of the ques-
ton. / want to protect them in every
legal right and against mob violence,
and l stand ready to employ every re-
source of the State in doing so, but
they must realize that in order to.
merit and receive the protection of the
hnN liT1cr
ness to at least aid in protecting the
community against the laWless element
of their own race. To secure protection
against lawless whites they must show
a disposition to protect the white peo-
pie against the lawless blacks"
One special and two regular trains
carried nearly 1000 people to Newman
to witness the burning of Sam Hose, or
to visit the scene of the affair. The ex-
cursionists returning tonight were
loaded down with CHASTITY reminders Of
the affair in the shape Of bones, pieces
of flesh and parts of the wood which
was placed at the negro's feet.
One of the trains as it passed through
