He received 4S3 votes, against 279
votes cast for M. Meline. Fifty

kilograms received from the prov
inces show that the announcement
of M. Loubet's election had been re-
ceived with satisfaction.
The Bonapartists also have made
no move toward coup, and the de-

character that indicates a peaceful
solution.
The scenes at Versailles, where
the election was held, were inter-
esting at times exciting.
President Loubet arrived here
from Versailles at sos p. m., and
was received with military honors.
The President proceeded to the
Elysee palace, in order 70 pay a
tribute of respect to the remains of
the late President Faure. He then
went to the Foreign Office, where he
received the high officials of state
and the diplomatic corps.

PARIS, Feb. 18.-Emile Loubet,
who, until his election to the presi-
dency to-day, was President of the
French Senate, was born at Mar
same, on December 81, 1888, was
educated for the bar and began his
practice at Montelimar. He entered
political life in the general election
OF 1915, when he professed himself
Republican and opposed the gen
eral and complete amnesty. He
was elected by great majority, and
at once associated himself with the
Republic left.
After having been twice elected to
the Assembly, he became a candi-
date for the Senate in his old de-
partment, and was elected in 1885
He became a member of the first
Tirard Ministry, which only sur
vived for three months, holding the
position of Minister of Public Works
When M. DeFreceyinet declined to
undertake the presidency of the
Council, he was intrusted with the
reconstruction of the Ministry, and
took the position of Minister Of the
Interior, from which M. Constans
had retired in 1892.

INCREASING THE ARMY.
The Proposition Is Violently Opposed by

The Proposition il Violently Opposed by
Hon. w. j. Bryan.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Feb. IT,
Col. Bryan spoke here last night
under the auspices of the Kent
County Democratic Club. In de-
nouncing the proposition to increase
the army he asked why it was neces-
sary, and said it certainly could not
be on account of any disaster that
had occurred under Republican rule,
because we are told that the people
are peaceable, prosperous and happy.
Continuing, he said:
"Do you want new policy that
make it necessary for you to have
three times as many soldiers to take
care of 80 900 600 people as it took to
care for 70,0O0,000 people? Do you
think, my friend, that it ought TO
take twice as many soldiers to bring
the blessings of beneficent assimila-
tion to l0,000,0O0 aliens as trequlred
to do the work among 7o,000,000 of
people? [ have not said anything as
bad against the Republican policy
as that. The President is more severe
in condemning his own policy than
have ever been. When he says
that it will take 10000 soldiers to
make the people accept and enjoy
that kind of government he is going
to give them, he condemns his policy
more than do. read his speech
made last night at Boston and he
said the only thing they have ever
thought of was the happiness and
welfare of these people, who, by
chance, have been thrown into our
keeping-nOthing to be thought of
except their welfare. Well, my
friends, it seems to ne tat we ought
not to disguise our good intentions
as to hold these good intentions upon
them by quite so much force"

NASHVILLE, Feb. l6.-The Legis-

While the committee started out

The most important one Is the tax
on railroads, which have heretofore
been required to pay ad valorem

railroads under l25 miles in length
pay So a mile, and railroads over l25
miles i'm length pay S25 a mile.
The tax on sleeping car companies
Is increased from $500 to 5000; the

A house owned by Mr.. Horace
Rainey and occupied by Mr.. A. l..
Blocker and family, situated in West
End beyond the corporate limits,
was totally destroyed by fire last
Saturday morning about 2 o'clock.
When discovered, the flames had
almost enveloped the house, aud fire
was dropping into the room Of the
sleeping occupants, who had barely
time to escape in their night clothes.
Only a few articles of furniture and
wearing apparel were saved. The
house was insured for 500 I'm the

agent, and the loss or the furniture
was partially covered by insurance.
The IRE started in the upper story of
the house from a defective flue. Mr..

house two or three days before.

THE BROWN MANS BURDEN"
Pile on the brown mans burden
To crafty your greed;
Go clear away the niggers
Who progress would impede;
BE very stern, for truly
'Tis useless To build
With new caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Pile on the brown mans burden;
And if ye rouse his hate,
Meet his old.fashioned reasons
With MaXims up to date.
With shells and dumdum bullets
A hundred times make plain
The brown mans loss must ever
Imply the white mans gain.
Pile on the brown mans burden;
Compel him to be free;
Let all your manifestoes
Reek with philanthropy.
And if with heather folly
He dares your will dispute,
Then in the name of freedom
Don't hesitate to shoot.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
And if his cry be sore,
That surely need not irk you
1e've driven slaves before.
Seize on his ports and pastures,
The held his people tread;
Go make from them your living,
And mark them with his dead.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
Nor do not deem it hard
If you should earn the rancor
OF those ye yearn to guard.
The screaming of your eagle
VIII drown the victims sob
Go on through fire and slaughter,
There's dollars in the job.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
And through the world proclaim,
That We are freedoms agents
There's no more paying game!
And should your own past history
Straight in your teeth be thrown,
Retort that independence
Is good for whites alone.
Pile on the brown mans burden,
With equity have done;
Weak, antiquated scruples
Their squeamish course have run,
And though tits freedoms banner
You're waving in the van,
Reserve for home consumption
The sacred "rights of man."
And if by chance We falter
Or lag along the course,

HOUSE AFFAIR.
Settlement Condemned by
Atlanta Ministers.
THE AGENTS CALLED BY NAME,
And Resolutions Adopted Declaring that
the Book Committee Should at Once
Demand Their designations.

ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 20.-The regu-
lar weekly meeting of the Metho-
dist ministers of Atlanta was en-
livened by a sensational argument
on the Methodist Book Publishing
House matter.
At the opening of the meeting DR..
w. L. Stradley, Chairman of the
Preachers Association, introduced
the subject with short reference to
the report from Senator Clay which
left the church in an embarrassing
position before the world.
"A gentleman from Nashville" >"
said DIR. Stradly, told me the other
day that this matter is gradually
subsiding in that city. But we don't
want it to subside. The minister's
meeting and other of the bodies
should send DR.. Collins Denny,
Chairman of the Book Committee, "a
protest against settling the matter
in any way but the right way
Rev. +. G. Hughes insisted that
"the United States virtually arrest
ed the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. The publishing-house mat
ter brought shame to all Methodists
in the South in the way those ques-
tions asked of it were evaded during
the investigation of the trouble" He
said further:
THAT legal fraud and deception
were used by the Methodist Church
for securing those funds was clearly
showed to be the opinion of the
Senate by it's actions in the matter,
unless the church totally and en-
tirely removed that stigma by a
positive reputation of some Sort
The question was discussed at
considerable length and with much
feeling, and the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
"WHEREAs, the discussion and reso,
luton of many of our strongest annual
conferences and the expressed opinion
Of the great bulk of our loyal member
ship seem to have had little weight in
settling the veXed question concerning
the payment of our Publishing House
claim; be it
"ResoLOed, by the Atlanta M. f
preachers meeting, that we feel that
this matter can never be settled until il
is settled right.
"2. That if the church, as such, was
not free itself from the stain of practica
deception, it cannot stand or remain
free from rebuke by the worlu itself.

the least that can be done is for the

A MaxvilPs Residence Damaged-HOuse
in West End Destroyed.
The residence of A. MaXvill, on
South High street, caught fire last
Friday morning about 10 o'clock,
and was damaged to the extent of
several hundred dollars by fire and
water. The fire company responded
to the alarm promptly, but the fire
was stubborn one to handle, as the
blaze was up between the roof and
ceiling, and the house had to be
flooded with water to eXtinguish it..
The fire, it is supposed, originated
from defective flue. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. The house
was insured for 81 200 in the Georgia
Home, with Hendley & Wilson,
agents, and the furniture for $500 in
the Hartford, with o. p. Rutledge,
agent.

COST OF CONGRESS-.

This Sessions Bills viii Foot Up at Least
$1,000, ,OOO, 900.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-When the
appropriations of the Fifty First
Congress-the first in which Thomas
B. Reed of Maine presided over the
house, barely exceeded one billion
dollars, there was a great outcry
from economists all over the coun-
try. 1t was in vain that Mr.. Reed
and his supporters argued that this
was a "billion dollar country"
The charge of extravaganza made
against them contributed much to
Republican defeat in the next elec-
tion. By the side of the appropria-
tions of the present congress, how
ever, the total figures for the Fifty
First Congress seem very moderate,
for the grand total authorized to be
expended by the present congress
will foot up at least 81 800, 900, 900 and
it may exceed even this enormous
amount by more than 500, 100000 if
the Nicaragua canal amendment to
the river and harbor bill is adopted.
The war with Spain is responsible
for almost all of the increase of the
appropriations by the present con-
gress above the average of the past
few years, for with the exception of
the proposed appropriation of $ll5,-
100000 for the construction of the
Nicaragua canal, there is scarcely an
increase on any of the appropriation
bills that cannot be charged either
directly or indirectly to the Spanish
war. There are some exceptions,
such as the appropriation for the
postal service, in which the natural
growth of public business calls for
increased expenditures. For the
last session of congress the total ap-
propriations, including all those for
war purposes, footed up 1898, ,23l ,6l5,-
90. The appropriations already
made during the present congres:
and those in prospect will no
amount to less than $7l7 100000 anC
they may run several millions above
this amount, while if the Nicaragua
canal appropriation is made, the to
tai will not be less than 1928 ,000, 900

up at least 81, ,725, ,000,0

paragraph in the Sundry Civil Bill

Wheeler's point was that until the
treaty was ratified by the Spanish
Cortes the payment provided for by
it did not become liability on the
part of the United States, and chat
therefore the paragraph was Obnox-
ious to rule 2l of the House, under
which the Nicaragua Canal Bill had
been ruled out of order as an amend
ment to the Sundry Civil Bill. Mr.

clared the point well taken and, OF

of l49 to 56.
