TWO SPANISH GUNS
WANTED BY ROME
If THEY ARE SECURED, THE CAN
NON WILL BE PLACED NEAR
THE ROME WATERWoRKs
RESERVOIR.

ROME. Ca. April 26.-Superintendent
III. Wagner, of the waterworks de-
partment, is in correspondence with Con-
gresham John Maddox, relative TO the
donation of two Spanish cannon TO this
city. Mr. Wagner is anxious TO have
the guns placed near the reservoir on
Fort Jackson as an ornament. The
grounds are beautifully decorated with
flowers and grass, but the superintendent
believes they will be much more attract
i've with the old Spanish cannon which
were captured during the recent war.
The Journals account OF the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Rome postofice was
read with great interest in this city. An
annex will be built to the present build
ing affording more room for the employees
and the business of the office.
1t is the purpose of the government to
provide place for Judge Newman to hold
the sessions of his court. The present
place of the United States court meeting
in Floyd county superior court room. is
not satisfactory. Judge Newman has
strongly advocated a special place for his
court in the governments property.

DEVEAUX FINDS A
HARD FIGHT IS MADE

WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator Clay
Is at the white house this evening to ask
President Roosevelt to hold up the APP
pointment Of Deveaux as collector Of GUS
toms at Savannah.
A telegram from Savannah today says
the business men of the city viii hold
meeting 10 protest against the appoint
ment. The president will unquestionably
hold Up the matter until the business men
act and there is some grounds for the be-
lief that such action will knock the APP
pointment of Deveux out.
To all protests filed against the appoint
ment. the president has pointed to alleged
Endorsements of Savannah business men.
and now when he is made TO understand
the true situation, he may recede from
his determination to appoint Deveaux.
The case of the recall of Pink Morton's
name for postmaster at Athens is exactly
similar.

LIVINGSTON AT WAR
WITH TRUST OF BEEF

WASHINGTON, April 26-The first bill
really designed to beat down the extor-
tionate prices of the rapacious beef trust
appeared IN congress yesterday and its au-
thor is Representative Livingston, OF
Georgia. The bill will get a speedy con-
sideration, and is likely to pass. for ev-
cry member of congress is aroused at the
spectacle of the American public standing
helpless while It feels the cold muzzle OF
the beef trusts pistol at its head.
A number of bills ~eeking to knock the
protective tariff wall from the beef trust
have been introduced, but none are Ell
fective because they fail to specify what
sections of the protection laws they seek
to repeal.
Mr.. Livingston's bill provides that the
Dingley law, paragraphs 2lS to 222, in
elusive and 273 to 279 inclusive, shall be
repealed.
These paragraphs now protect the beef
trusts products from competition with
similar products from Canada, Cuba and
Mexico and other foreign countries. with
these paragraphs repealed. the products
of other countries may be rushed into
American markets and sold to american
consumers at prices far below the robber
trusts prices. 1t will fbe knockout COM
plete in its character
In a word, the beef trust now sits on
the protection wall. Mr.. Livingston's bill
would knock the wall out from under 1t
and let IT ,rop.
THE public is being neld up in true
highway robber style" said Mr.. Living
ston today, land congress is not going to
sit still while the performance is going on.
/ believe my bill will pass, and it will
give the relief desired"
The Georgia congressman long exper-
fence in national legislation and his knowl-
edge of the tariff situation fits him as an
able antagonist to the beef trust.
Democrats and Republicans ,lwho wish
to see the trust knocked out will give him
their support.

PROTECTING HOME RICE CROP.

A Washington special to the
Picayune says: 1.-The Louisiana
delegation in Congress having had
their attention called to a report
that American and foreign specula-
tors in rice were storing large
quantities of this staple, of Chinese
and Indian production, in the Dan
ish West Indies, with the view Of
shipping this product into the
United States when these islands
are ceded to this country, have
brought the matter to the attention
of this country, and to the Treas
ury Department for the purpose of
frustrating any such move, as we'll
as safeguarding the interest Of the
domestic rice growers.
The matter is one of great inter
est to Louisiana, which today is
the largest rice producing State in
the Union. Immense sums of
home and Northern capital have
been invested in rice culture, which
is today one Of its chief agricnltu-
raj industries. The matter is one
that appeals to the representatives
of the Northern States on account
of the large sums of money annu-
ally expended in the purchase of
rice machinery, most Of which is
manufactured in the North.
The question is one that also con-
Germs the representatives of the
States of Texas, South Carolina
and Georgia.
1t is possible that when cession
of these islands is made to the
United States there will be stipu-
latiOn incorporated in the treaty
excluding this Asiatic rice from
the benefits that will accrue to the
native products of the islands.
The production of rice in this little
group, if it be grown there at all,
is so small that it would be sim
Pile matter to detect any attempt at
fraudulent importation.
