JOHN MITCHELL TALKS.
Says Strikes are Sledge Hammers
 That Weld Labor and Capital

Huntington, w. Va. March 24-Coal operators, miners, laboring men, profess sional men, bankers and business men to the number of more than 2,00O crowded about the front of local hotel here to- day to listen to an open air address of President. John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers on the subject of strikes. His remarks were directly and almost entirely to the situation in West Virginia at this time. He said in part:
 l am not an advocate of strikes, but there are times when they are necessary to clinch the argument of truth in the interests of the laboring people of this country. Strikes are a feature of civiliza- ton and they are merely a means to an end in the great social evolution that Is now confronting the American people. They are the sledge- hammers that weld the connecting links of labor and capital and make the endless chain of commer- cial prosperity. We want a better un- derstanding between employer and em- ploye and we come with offerings of peace The labor unions are trusts just like your doctors trust, the ministers trust. and the money trust, only We call these associations and corporations while we style ourselves unions. There Is no civilization without labor there can be no progress without this potent factor and why should we not protect and foster the interests of such an important element In our national progress?"

CHEERS AND KISSES.
In Turn They Greet Senator Tillman
 at Detroit.


 Detroit Mich. March 24.-United States Senator Ben R. Tillman of South Carolina was greeted by alternate storms of applause and misses Ahen he delivered an impassioned address on the race problem tonight at Light Guard Armory. the audience being evenly di- vided between upholders of his ideas and strenuous opponents of them.
 He said that the North demanded ma tority rule. and, with a sheer, added that there were 23500O more negroes than white people in South Carolina.
 Tt will mean that more blood will flow than was shed in the civil war if you persist in trying to subject us to the domination of the blacks," he said You butchered the Indians and shut out the Chinaman. but had 1t been known by the soldiers who surrendered with Lee that 1t was your devilish intent to set up the negro over the White man. we would have fought you till now"
 Upon the Senator's reference to some or Sherman's army as bummers, chicken thieves and carpet-baggers, his Northern audience broke out into such violent hiss ing that the speech was interrupted and some of the more timTd ones in the audi ence feared trouble.

touched by the manifestation of devotion He spoke briefly in reply. lie said that the welcome given him had anected him no little. He was rejoiced 10 be back in Montgomery with the con- gregatton he had served so long and felt able to do them more service than ever before.
 Father Savage then related briefly. some of the incidents of his trip abroad. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Father Savage landed In Ireland where he spent six weeks with his family amid the scenes of his birth and childhood, near Queenstown. He passed his time in Ireland quietly, wishing to recuperate a certain strength that he had lost during the summer months spent in Montgom- rey. Leaving Ireland he visited France. England. Belgium. Germany. Switzerland and Italy, remaining several weeks In Rome.
 On Christmas Day, Father Savage knelt at the shrine of St. Peter at Rome and said three masses. ''In every one of my prayers" said he. you. my congregation. were embodied.

His voice, Father Savage said was the most striking feature of the head of the Catholic Church.
 His voice is remarkably firm and melo- | dious," said Father Savage, and to me 1t was happiness to listen to that holy | man grant the favors of suppliants."
 "1t was my good fortune" added | Father Savage. "to see the Pope on two

 Father Savage while the congregation

FATHER SAVAGE RETURNS
 AND TALKS OF VISIT TO POPE
Home Coming of Priest Made Occasion of Rejoicing by PariShiOnerS of St Peter's--WelcOmed
 by MT. Mcintyre.

Rev. Father Dennis Savage, rector of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church re- turned to Montgomery last night after an absence of eight months spent mostly m Europe and his homecoming was made an interesting occasion by his parishion- CTS.
 Catholics of Montgomery accorded Father Savage hearty welcome and he responded in touching manner, telling them of his visit to Rome and bearing them a message from His Holiness Pope Leo.
 The esteemed priest came to Montgom- cry last night from Birmingham. At the railway station he was met by Rev. Father Hugh A. O'Brien, assistant priest of St. Peters Church, and a number of the most prominent of his parishioners. At St. Peters, a short service was held, the congregation immediately repairing to the adjacent auditorium of the Acad- emy of the Sisters of Loretto. where a welcome service was held in honor of Father Savage.
 The hall was decorated in bunting and over the stage was hung an illuminated sign reading Welcome" Mary Mulcahy, a tot, student of the Academy of Loretto, recited excellently a poem of welcome after which the entire student body of the Academy sang a well come chorus to Father Savage. Alexander Troy then, in a few words | introduced c. P. Mcintyre, who made the | formal speech of welcome to Father Say age III pehaH or the CatnolcS Of Mont | gomery.
 MT. Mcintyre began by referring to the | success of the work of St. Peters Church | in Montgomery and the harmony which | exists inside the church and its cordial
 relations with the followers of other
 creeds. This state of affairs, he said
 was due largely to the work of over g
 quarter of century of Father Savage 1T
 Montgomery.
 "A parish priest" said MT. Mcintyre
 requires judgment, tact and a profound
 sympathy for human nature Montgom
 cry, irrespective of color or creed, ac
 knowledges that Father Savage possesses
 these qualities to an eminent degree"
 For this reason" continued MT. Mo

 you have been invigorated by your tri

PULLMAN GOT THE SUM
TURNS HIS PITCHFoRK INTO 4
 RAKE.
The Amount for Which He "Held Up" Congress at the Close of the Session Larger Than the
 Comptroller Thought.

Washington, March 2.-(SpeciaD-Your Uncle Ben Tillman knows how to turn his pitchfork into a rake.
 It will not be soon forgotten how the Senator from South Carolina, when the last battles of conference between the two houses of Congress were waging, he gave all hands to understand that unless South Carohna's just claim for $47, ,24S. T was allowed in the amendment to that effect in the sundry civil appropriation bill he would compel an extra session of Congress. Senator Tillman got what he was after, and then next Speaker Can non made a speech about Senate methods in which he animadverted with character istic vehemence upon the conduct of the Palmetto State statesman.
 Ttllman not only got the joke on the mighty opposition, but he has rubbed 1t in. The first warrant issued on the treasury on account of the South Carolina claim was for S47.245.77 and included in- 1t was allowed and the claim presented. But your Unclo Ben knew better. He knew what the interest phrase in his amendment was intended for ana accord ingly took an appeal, asserting that m terest was due from January 1. 1881, at 4 per cent a year. He called the attention of the Comptroller of the Treasury to the wording of the amendment-"Andi interest on the same at per centum per annuh until paid " ,,
 The Comptroller adopted Senator Till mans view of the case saying:
 ''The force of the language is a direc- ton by Congress to pay the State or South Carolina the sum of $47 ,245.7. and interest thereon, from the first day Of January 1881. up to the date of the ap- proyal of the act. The act, while 1t only sets out said sum. yet 1t as clearly ap- propriates the interest thereon as If It had been set out in specific. figures It a Judgment for specific sum and the in- terest thereon from a certain date.
 '~rhe amount of the judgment is simply a calc,,latiOn. so that the matter of this Judgment is simply a matter of calcula- ton The auditor will therefore restate this account and allow the State of South Carolina the further sum of $4l,SS1 61, be- ing the interest on said sum of $41. .245.7 .7' at 4 per cent from the first day Of Janua- ry, 1881. up to the approval of said act. A credit certificate of difference will issue for said amount
