TENNESsEBs REPUBLICAN FACTIONS.
Chairman Mamma VIII Endeavor q,
Settle the Difficulty.

Settle the DimcuIty.
Knoxville, Aug. Ex-senator NJ. A.
Hanna has decided to take a hand in
the Tennessee Republican fight be-
tween the Brownlow and the III. Clay
Evans factions, and settle 1t. In a
letter written to A. j. Tyler, OF Wash
ington, Senator Hanna says:
THE national committee has deem
ed 1t advisable to say that we expect
to sustain the organization which was
recognized by the national committee
at Philadelphia. We cannot see where
any good can result from such an in
dependent movement and sincerely
trust that no loyal Republican will
lend his Influence to the movement"
The Brownlow organization was the
one recognized for the most part at
Philadelphia. 1t is thought to be the
chief aim of Senator Hanna to get but
one set of electors in the field.
Chairman Upton, OF the Evans state
committee, was asked what effect Mark
Hanna's letter would have. He re-
piled that ii would have the same eff
feet as shaking red rag in the face
of an angry bull
I'VE do not recognize Mr. Hanna as
our boss, and we wear no mans col
lar" said Mr.. Upton. "Our commit
tee meets next Wednesday to organize
for the fight, and If there are any
members on it who do not want to
fight they will be asked to step behind
tree and let the battle proceed. Ours
Is the regular ticket, and if Hanna
does not know it it is because he has
refused to investigate or listen to any
one but Brownlow."

Charges Against Governor Leary.

Honolulu, via San Francisco, Aug.
Ex-Governor Frank p. Portusak, OF
Guam, has arrived here on his way to
Washington to prefer charges of mis-
management against Ex-Governor
Leary. Portusak was the first Ameri-
can governor of the islands holding
the title as such. Leary being a cap
tain, who was in charge as governor
temporarily. Portusak was the only
American on the island when the
cruiser Charleston took possession in
1898, and he was made governor,
Leary taking charge and being super
seeded by POrtusak. The latter accuses
Leary of making most arbitrary rul-
ings against the natives.

King William, VaA Aug. 27.-The
color line has not only heen drawn on
the Indians in the matter of riding or,
the railroads, hut in the schools OF
this state as well. The Pamunkey In
dams of King William county made an
earnest appeal To the Southern railroad
not to assiga them TO the Jim Crow
cars with the negroes. as was done I'M
der the first operation of the new law
The railroad decided that the Indians
might ride with the white people. In
the matter of permitting the children
of these people to enter the public
schools set apart for the whites the
line has been drawn in this county.
One of the schools near the Indian res
ervation which was intended TO be for
the whites has had to be discontinued
because of the attendance OF five or six
little children OF the red man. The
whites would not consent TO recognize
them as social equals. and when the
test was made refused to continue their
children at school The consequence
was that the attendance Of scholars
fell below the basis fixed by law. and
the school had TO be abandoned. There
are, 1t is said. classes among the In
dams on the little King William reser-
walton. Some of the Indian maidens
have married white men. The parents
object to their children attending the
school set apart for the Indians. They
will not, without protest, permit their
onspring TO mix at the schools with
the children of some OF the women of
the tribe who have possibly intermar-
ried with mulattoes.

Our Population Increase.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The cities of
the United States, so far as the census
Office has yet given out the figures,
show very healthy and satisfactory
rate of increase of population during
the past ten years. The percentage OF
increase ranges from 9.77 for Cincin-
natl to 51.S8 for Toledo. The three
cities which have increased the most
rapidly are Toledo, Indianapolis and
Chicago. Owing to the changes In
boundary in the consolidation of what
Is now known as Greater New York.
the percentage for that city cannot be
accurately stated. For Philadelphia 1t

Electric road projects are in the air.
More roads are constructed each. win
ter than are tangible realities when, the
frost leaves the. ground in the spring.
However, an electric line from Kalama-
zoo to Benton Harbor, with Paw Paw
on the line, is not only probable, but
practically certain. While the Kaama-
700 company is working from the east
end of the line and has secured some
franchise privileges, j. w. Van Cleve of
Benton HarbOr, representing capitalists
who now own and operate some electric
lines in Indiana, is working on a similar
project from the west end. He has al
ready secured franchises to andincluding
the village of Hartford, aud is ask
ing for other grants along the line to
Kalamazoo-the objective point. His
application for franchise in Paw Paw
has been Sled and will be presented to
the council at its next meeting.
While there is no probability that both
companies will enter this territory, one
of them. is practically certain to do so.

ELECTRIC ROAD.
FRANCHISE GRANTED KALAMAZOO TRAc-
TIoN COMPANY IN THIS VILLAGE.

Paw Paw is to have an electric rail-
road.
Attorney Palmer Of Detroit, represent
ing the Kalamazoo Valley Traction
company, appeared before the common
council last Monday evening and asked
for "A franchise for an electric road
through this village, and the franchise
was granted The full text of the ordi-
nance as passed will be found in another
column of this paper.
The company agrees to commence
work in this village before September /,
1901, and to have cars running inside OF
a year from date. While that time is
given to the company in its franchise,
Mr.. Palmer assured the council that
surveyors will 90 to work as soon as
necessary franchises are secured, and
the work of construction will be com
menced very soon.
The main line of the road will be
practically continuation west of the
line between Battle Creek and Kalama-
zoo, and part eventually of an electric
system crossing the state from Detroit to
Benton Har Dor Tho present enterprise
is the building of line from Kalamazoo,
through Almena to Paw Paw, Lawrence,
Hartford and Benton Harbor. From
Paw Paw, short lines will be built to
Lawton and Decatur,and from Lawrence
line will be run to Bangor and South
Haven. There seems to be every pros
pect that the road will be built. The
passenger fare will be five cents within
the village, IL cents per mile outside,
with hourly train service.
Paw Paw was the FIRST village to grant
franchise, but all the townships along
the line have given the road the right to
use of the highways, and other villages
will doubtless grant franchises at once.
After these proposed lines are in oper-
alton, Paw Paw will ouly need line
north through Gobleville to Allegan to
make it one of the most easily accessible
towns in the state

THE HORSE NOT A BACK NUN
Der.

The display of nearly 50, 900, 900
worth of roadsters in the parade of
the Road Drivers Association in
New York on Saturday indicates that
after all the bicycle and automobile
have not yet done so much to displace
the horse as a means of diversion.
Doubtless for strictly utilitarian
purposes mechanical devices will sup
plant the horse, just as the locomotive
with its train of cars superseded the
stagecoach. The automobile may
take the place of the horse for actual
service. but it cannot in the nature
of things find the place in the affec-
tions of men that the horse has
established for himself If it be true
that the tastes and inclinations of
men are the product of environment
during successive ages, it is plain
that, having been the companion and
servant of man for many years, the
horse, along with the dog, has a
fixed place in the natural affections
of men,

ON SOLID GROUND.

The Brotherhood of Carpenters of
Philadelphia, in refusing to quit work
without grievance of their own, after
having secured the rate of wages and
hours demanded for themselves at the
hands Of their employers, seem to
stand on solid ground. If agreements
between trades unions and employers
should be only binding subject to the
caprices or the disputes of third par
ties, the settlement of labor disputes
would become matter of almost in
terminable difficulty. A few strikers
could keep great bodies of workers
idle for the most trivial matters OF
controversy.

Prettily bowed ribbon with clusters
of fruit and flowers are the correct
thing this season for the adornment
of that fearful and wonderful creation

The catalogue comprised the follow

331 packages of skins Of various birds,
twenty-five packages of pelican quilts
besides a large assortment of feathers

This list represent one fourth of the
annual trade in birds plumage. 1t
appears that l. lib skins of the hum

male, leading one to believe that the
supply of males must be so nearly ex-
hausted that it mas been necessary to
slaughter the female to meet the de-

DOGS KILLED BY GAS.

The Chicago Humane Society has
at last hit upon novel but effectual
means of disposing of vagrant ours
before the heat of summer sets in.
They are being gathered up from the
streets and asphyxiated by gas, re-
ports the Tribune Calls are responded
to by the Humane Society when made
by residents of the city who may be
bothered by stray dogs. A number of
women. actuated by humanitarian i'm
pulses, are cooperating with the So
ciety to gather up the animals left to
wander and starve along the thorough
fares. 1t is largely due to their re-
peated requests for milder means of
destroying dogs that the new scheme
of determination by gas has been
brought about. They consider death
by shooting an unnecessarily painful
process.
A small metal tank closely sealed
with tight cover is filed with COM
mon Illuminating gas admitted by a
tube. A small aperture in the cover
permits the air to be forced out. Into
this tank, one at time, the dogs are
dropped, the gas turned on and in 30
seconds they are unconscious and in
less than minute they are lifeless.
Two feet of gas is considered sufficient
quantity to kill a dog and the expense
amounts to practically the same as the
bullet.
