PAIN GETS FIREWORKS CON-

New York Firm to Give Central Green
Exhibition on July 4.
The special aldemmanic committee
that has been appointed by the board
to take charge Of the city's celebra-
ton Of the Fourth Of July held Its first
session last evening" The committee is
composed Of Alderman Frank Hamil-
ton, jr., chairman; Aldermen Allen,
Nathanson, Woodford and Courtney.
The contract for the fireworks was
awarded to ]. F, Grady, acting for the
Pain Fireworks company Of New York.
The programme which that company
will furnish is considered an elaborate
one for the money at the disposal of
the committee, 1t Will comprise forty
two members, of which there WI be a
considerable number of set pieces. One
special feature of the display will be
the elimination Of all rockets carrying
sticks. Only stickless rockets will be
used.
The city has voted $500 for the entire
celebration, all of which will be devot-
ed to the evening. There will be a

selves during the day the lack is Of
no consequence.
The Pain company has not exhibited

an exhibition will be talked about.

STILL STICKS TO The
CHARGE OF BAD FAITH

assert that l sent an agent to him to
begin negotiations. The statement is
absurd on its face,
1.-THE other point to which 1 shall re-
fer is the cavalier way in which Mr.
Moody discusses the idea Of the presi-
dent not being bound.
while contradicting in no instance,
however slight, my statement of what
occurred, the encouragement seems to
think that the code Of honor among
gentlemen Is not binding upon the ex-
ecutive and his cabinet.
THE president asked him to see Mr..
Bailey and myself. We met by ap-
pointment made by Senator Chandler
and talked over the vital question. He
wrote and sent to Mr.. Bailey his un-
derstanding Of our views, and when we
met subsequently we reached absolute
agreement, both as to the form and the
substance of q proposed amendment, to
which he said the president would as
sent and help get votes for.
"Of course the president was not
bound not to change, but he was bound
under such circumstances to give no.
tice, and this was not done. Even the
attorney general himself was not noti-
fed. The charge made and still make
is that the president is guilty of bad
faith, and that the rate bill, which will
be, when enacted into law, much bet
ter and stronger measure than we had
hoped to get, has been emasculated of
one of its most valuable and essential
features by the presidents action.
Il am ready to leave the whole ques-
ton to the thoughtful and honorable
men Of the country
Soon after beginning his statement
Senator T1llman injected the words
this is Tilllnan talking now" which
caused litter in the senate and con-
siderable laughter in the galleries.
When Mr.. Tillman had concluded
Senator Allison asked to have read the
presidents letter to him. He only said
that his object was to have the letter
made as permanent of record as Mr..
Tillman's statement Attorney Cen
eral Moodys statement to the president
also was read.
When the words II saw the newspa-
per men in mass" were read there was
a loud guffaw in the senate and in the
galleries, and the Vice-president raped
sharply with his gavel to restore order.
Mr.. Nelson interrupted with a motion
to lay the pending amendment to the
rate bill on the table, which closed the
incident. si1
