TWO FOREIGN LOANS.
Investors Appealed to in Behalf of the German
and Swedish Governments
(BY the Associated Press.

New York Sept. 18.-For the first time
in New York's financial history, American
investors were appealed to today at al
most the same moment IN behalf of two
distinct foreign government loans. The
German loan circular giving details of the
terms on which Kuhn, Leob and Company
and the National City Bank will receive
bids for the Offering were published just
at the time the Swedish Government loan
prospectus was being circulated. The
German loan offering will probably rank
among the most successful ever placed by
a foreign government in the United States,
owing to the instant success of the move
ment following the announcement of the
New York Lies heavy subscription.
The Swedish prospectus contemplates a
loan Of $4,000, 900 the bonds to bear per
cent. for ten years, and 31a per cent. for
another ten years. The loan is made
with view to the construction of rail
ways and other remunerative purposes.

A DUEL IN A HOTEL.
Tragic Climax to the Howard McGee
Feud.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Madisonville, Tenn, Sept. 1S.-The
Howard MCGEE feud had tragic climax
today in which one man was killed, two
others fatally and one seriously wounded.
Today at noon Charles Jones and his
brother Joshua entered the Clew Hotel
dining room which was filled with guests
and took seats at a table. A moment la
ter, Calvin and Tom Howard entered the
room and met the Jones brothers face
to face In an instant revolvers were
drawn by the four men and about thirty
shots were fired in quick succession, the
terrified guests making their exit from
the room by way of doors and windows.
When the firing ceased Charles Jones was
found dead on the floor with two bullet
wounds in the heart and three in the
head; Joshua jones and Calvin Howard
were mortally wounded and one seriously
wounded.
Years ago Tom Howard married mem
Der of the MCGEE family despite the
strenuous opposition of the McGces. A
few days later two brothers OF Mrs. Tom
Howard went to Toms house and calling
him to the door began firing upon him.
Two of Toms brothers, Ernest and Will
Howard and George Morrow joined in the
fusilade and ali three were shot and
killed by the McGees. That was the be-
ginning of the feud since which time it
has developed and grown with intense
bitterness. The McGees were arrested
for the killing for Ernest and Will How
ard the final trial of the McGees was
set for today at jacksonville and trouble
was not expected. The Jones brothers
are brothers in laws of the McGees, and
they as well as the McGees and Towards
are among the best known people in the
county.

our history sustaining with unanimity the
government in it's fight with a foreign
Toe, and now the splendid chapter in the
march of American manhood and chivalry
and craftsmanship that is being written
here today on the coast of New England;
the Governors and peoples of New Hamp-
shire and Alabama, under the auspices of
the National Government joining hands
to send forth, freighted with the prayers
and hopes of a united country, the two
great battleships, the new Kearsarge and
the new Alabama.
He who forty years ago could have
bodied forth this picture would have been
set down as an idle dreamer. But we are
not dreaming, we are rejoicing over reali-
ties, rejoicing that though our contest was
bitter and bloody, our reconciliation is
hearty and complete, rejoicing that it has
been given to US to witness at last that
More perfect union" which the fathers
dreamed of in the preamble to our Con-
stitution, but never lived to see.
"How has this all come about? The
answer is simple, the people of the two
sections have at last come to understand
each other as never before.
What did seem strange for time to
you of the North was that we of the
South after so desperate a contest, should
have accepted with such entire unanimity
the arbitrament of the sword. But the
reasoning which influenced us all men now
can see. Slavery, the occasion of the
quarrel between North and South, was
dead, the unity of the great Republic
was established, the great streams that
had hoated to IFS men-of-war. and the
highways between the two sections along
which armies had tramped were now oc
cupied with traffic, this country was
geographically one country. the supreme
court of the Union was proclaiming from
the bench that the Constitution of the
fathers was still the law Of the land, pro-
tecting everywhere the rights of the citi-
zens. Why should not the seeded States
again seek places in their fathers house?
There was but one hope of peace and hap
piness for US and our children, and that
hope lay I'D the path of the Union, and
we made up our minds to tread that
path. the path that was soon to lead to
a reunited people to the foremost place
among the nations of the earth
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Hack
EFT, Portsmouth man, also spoke. AT
the conclusion of the ceremonies cheers
were given for the Governors of Alabama
and New Hampshire, and the audience
dispersed after singing america"

strong and convincing speech, showing by
his terrible arraignment of McKinley's

ty had made no mistake in nominating
him for Congress in this district. He
said it made no difference on which side

this campaign, that he had betrayed his
followers and now his influence was
worth nothing to any party.
Mr.. Pou issued a verbal invitation to
the candidate who will make the race

bate, for, said he, neither he. nor the
nominees' CT the Republicans and Popu-
