* THE MESSAGE HEAD.
The President Gives Congress His
Views on Public "Matters
CONGRESS IS NOW IN SESSION.
There Ih Nothing Startling ?'i What
tin? President . Says, And
Even Wall Street Will
I' lMM MflK'.
lloth Houses of Congress reassembled
last Tuesday for what is knowi
as the short session. After the dispatch
of routine business, in the Senate,
M(.ssrs. Piatt and .tones the
committee appointed by the senate to
join a similar committee from the
house to notify president that congress
had assembled, reported that
they had performed this duty, whereupon
Mr. Barnes, assistant secretary
to tin' president, delivered the president's
message to congress. Printed
copies had been furnished each senator
and they closely followed the reading
of t he document. But few Democrats
?were in their seats when the
reading ot the message begun. l'p?.n
the conclusion of the reading of the
message, which occupied an hour and
fifteen minutes, if was ordered to lie
on the table and he printed.
IN TilK IIOU8K.
After the House had transacted
routine business, Mr. Barnes, assistant
secretary to the president, announced
the president's message
which, by the direction of the speaker,
was immediately read by the clerk.
The members displayed great interest
in its contents, many of them following
the reading in the printed
copies which were distributed by the
pages. The reading of the message
was usu'nen eo aucmivciy, especially
those portions relating to t he regulation
of trusts, (lie tariff and the isthmian
canal bill. There were no demonstrations
until the reading was
concluded, when there was a general
outburst of approval on the Republican
side. The reading consumed exactly
an hour and at its conclusion it
was referred to the committee of the
whole house on the state of the union
without objection.
TIIK MKSSAOK.
The message consists of about 10,000
words and is shorter than the
average president's message in recent
years. It is not startling in any of
its recommendations and if Wall
Street shies at it they will do the unexpected.
The principal points
touched on are these:
The trusts, which the president
urges should be regulated by congress
under power to regulate interstate
commerce with a view to destroying
only the evil in them. If
this power does not exist then lie
wants a constitutional amendment.
The taritT, which he thinks has a
bearing on the evils of the trusts
and which should be modified in the
main by reciprocity treaties, the principles
of protection being always kept
in view.
The currency system, which he
thinks should be changed, he does not
say how, to give the country an adequate
supply of currency.
uaoor ;t11(i 11s rigni, to organize,
which he recognizes but which lie
says must be kept from doing evil
just as capital organized into socalled
trusts should be prevented from doing
evil.
'idie .army, which he compliments
highly for its work in the Philippines.
Jle recommends the passage of the
general stall' and re-organization of
militia bills by congress.
The navy, which lie says must be
increased as to ships and personnel as
a guarantee of peace and as a weapon
to enforce the principles which we
have already laid down.
Iteeiprocity with Cuba as the duty
of the strong to the weak and as an
implied obligation assumed by us by
reason of the Plattamendment.
The creation of a secretary of commerce
to sit in the cabinet.
The passage of an immigration law
similar to that which passed the house
at its last session.
Minor recommendations arc brief,
lie wants no halting in building the
navy, lie says rural free delivery is
now a success. Arid lands should
be reclaimed by irrigation. Alaska
laws are a discredit to the nation.
Indians arc to be absorbed ultimately.
Scientific aid should be given the
farmers.

A l-'icnd'H Work. I 1
A lynching was avoided only by the '
exercise of abundant precautionary 1
measures by city and county author!-1'
ties. Monday morning a negro boy, '
18 years old, was caught attempting 1
to assault, the t> year-old daughter of 1
a prominent. It road street merchant, '
hut a cloak of darkness was so closely
about the crime that not the 1
faintest suspicion of it leaked !
out until the negro, Miles !
.Johnson, had been spirited out of {
the city. City Detective Williams 1
was near the scene at the time and :
took the negro to the barracks in a '
hack. Fearing that the story might 1
possibly leak out Chief Norris im- mediately
turned the prisoner over to '
Judge Eve, to be sent to Savannah 1
for safe keeping. Four hours the '
negro was confined in Jail but the
secret was so closelv guarded that not
even the members of the police force '
knew of the crime until the criminal 1
was well out of t he city.

During the heavy wind that blew
over New Orleans just before daylight i
Wednesday lite home of Prof. John
Denier, on Metarie Ridge. was blown
down. I'rof. Denier was fatally hurt
and his wife dangerously. His Hi-yearold
daughter and his aged mother had
miraculous escapes. The house was
built on stilts and all the inmates ,
were in bed when the clash came.
Prof. Denier is well known in athletic
circles and was atone time one of the
best known clowns in America. The
wind prostrated trees and fences in (
various parts of the city. Telegraph
and telephone wires arc down on t he !
outskirts of the city.

Capt. iiohn, master of the German i
steamer llarcelona, was granted an !
audience at the White House with
President Roosevelt on Wednesday.
Early last spring during a gale Capt.
Iiohn saved the lives of I t men near
the entrance to New York harbor.
Two small tugs each with a crew of
seven men were lloundering about on
the ocean at the mercy of the waves
when the itarcelona have in sight. At
the risk of his own vessel and the lives
of Ins own crew he took otT the crews
within a scant hundred yards of the
breakers on Long Island shore. For
this act of bravery Capt. Iiohn was
promised a memorial, and he will be
presented with this by the president.
The Bern Solution.
The Atlanta Journal says "probably
iiitin <111, nil* nest somuon or r,no
negro problem would not be, as liishop
Turner holds, to ship them to Africa,
but to ship them north of the Mason
and Dixon line. Then, probably, after
a few years we wouldn't hear of the
negro problem at all; or if we did, the
people who make a specialty of agitating
it would sing an entirely different
tune."

A dispatch from California says |
while the steamer I'rogrosso was lying ,
it the wliarf of tIn* Fulton Iron v
Works at Harbor View Wednesday |
nnining, an explosion occurred. As a t
result 12 men are missing. A score |
.vere more or less seriously injured |
iiirl property valued at $200,000 was ,
lest roved.
The disaster occurred at o'clock ,
while lo mechanics of t he iron works s
md 20 employes of t he ship were on ;
loard. The machinists were busy com- |
aletlng the work of changing the ves- (
;el from :i coal burning career to an
il burning carrier, when suddenly one ?
)' the tanks blew up. Men were |
allied against the steel wall and a j
dieet of llame came sweeping into
heir faces. On the upper deck men |
were hurled ii to the air or thrown i
oto the water. Three sailors engaged
n washing piint outside the pilot. ,
louse, disappeared as the cloud of ;
ilack smoke canie up from the ship ,
md were seen no more. ,
Following tiie explosion the ship ]
;agged in I he centre, showing that she i
lad broken in two. In tiie olllee of
lie iron works, 2o feet away, every i
window was shattered and Hying glass
ill t lie faces and hands of many of
he ollicials and clerks.
W A V ICS OF Ft UK.
As they rushed out into the open,
airvivors,who were able to help them- ,
selves, were leaping from tlicship. A ,
jreul crowd of mechanics came run- ,
dug out of the works. As soon as I lie
panic had subsided these men set to ;
work to rescue men from the burning *
vessel. A stream of burning oil, run- ;
nog Horn the tanks, spread out until | |
he ship lay on waves of lire. The i
lames crept under the wharf and soon ,
he timbers were blazing, adding to i
lie (iiilleult y of the worker rescue. ,
As the ship was built of steel the lire
was nearly all below the deck. There i
ivere fourteen oil tanks containing (
ibout four hundred barrels of oil in ,
ill, and despite t he ell'orts of the lire i
lepartmont, this continued to burn <
llercely for hours after the explosion. :
Several minor explosions, duo to t he ,
lames going from tank to tank,occur- (
red at short intervals, but all the in- |
jury and loss of life was caused by the ;
tirst one. One peculiarity of the ex- |
plosion was that several men who were
in the other side of the bulkhead from
where it, occurred, were uninjured
while others farther away were badly 1
liurt. Several men in the yards were '
Injured by Hying debris. The loss to
I he Fulton company by the wrecking
if the building and the burning of the
wharf will exceed $20,000. It is estimated
that the ITogresso wa.; worth '
about $1 To,000.
1KLT A MILK AWAY.
The explosion shook all the build- |
mgs at Harbor View and the shock
was felt a mile away. In a few instances
windows were broken several
blocks away. James Spiers, Jr., general
manager of the Fulton Jron!
Works, is positive that the explosion
was due to the oil and not to t he \
bursting of the boiler. Ills theory is
is that gas was generated in one of t he I
oil tanks. "It was certainly the explosion
of a tank," he said. "If it!
had been a holler explosion, a cloud of
steam would have arisen, hut there
was no steam. Instead, It was black
smoke from the oil. 'J1 he re was only
a small pressure of steam at the
time."
A .Swindle.
The secretary of state has come
across a paper Indicating that certain
colored men have perpetrated or are
about to perpetrate a gross fraud on
the colored race. It is a scheme signed
by lit . Itev. .)as. Polite and one or
two other negroes claiming to represent
the Second Advent church in
this state. The paper is in the shape
of a subscription list and headed by a
biblical quotation and winds up with
a promise that $1.50 is subscribed by ,
twenty people, in any community a
school to run six months would be established.
It, is not known whether
the swindle has yet worked.
Volcano Victims.
From the Guatemalan coast the
Pacific steamer City of Sydney, brings
news of deaths result ing from recent
eruptions of Santo Maria volcano to
the number of about J,000. This estimate
is based upon the latest information
received at San Jose, Guatemala,
nrovioiiw lo t he SvrlnovV rlonnrtiim f/.r
this port, hut- It is accompanied by a
statement of Guatemalans that reliable
information is still difficult to
obtain. This death list is considerably
smaller than that previously reported.

The State says Solomon Carlisle, a
negro lal>orer at the plant of the Catavvber
Power company, at Rock Mill,
was shot and instantly killed Wednesday
afternoon by a negro named Mary
IOmcrson. The woman claimed accident.
Iler story is that they were
fooling witli the gun and that she had
already shot it out of the window and
that. Carlisle took hold of the barrel
placed it against Ids head and told 1
her to pull the trigger; that there was
no load in it. She did as directed and
the result was the blowing oil" of the
man's head.

ing the resignation of Dr. Gordon 15. f<
Moore, professor of piillosophy and I)

The board presented this request b
upon the ground that there was dis- o
satisfaction in the State on account h
of Dr. Moore, but they did not call h
into question his orthodoxy or his
teaching; simply as a matter of policy
it was deemed best to ask for his res- sl
ignation. The action of the trustees 0
has aroused Dr. Moore's friends, and s
it is said that he will be urged not to l>
comply with the request. b

PRISON L1KK.
We have for a time lost, sight of Marianne
Vant birr, the poor outcast,
whom we saw in the third chapter,una
now as we go to the prison of La Salpot
riero, in which llcnrictte is conlined,
we see her again.
Marianne, t tie prisoner, is different
from Marianne, the outcast. Prison
life litis enabled her to exercise all t hat
was good in her nature, without giving
tiny opportunity for the use of
those traits which wore perverted by ,
t lie ruiliti11 Jacques.
During her imprisonment she litis
won the hearts of her keepers and fellow
prisoners, and till regard her with

the life of I lie inmates of La Salpetrlcre
may nol prove uninteresting.
In those days no work was furnished :
the unhappy prisoner, and day after
day the weary monotony of cell and
court-yard was only broken by the religious
teachings of the good sisters
who were in charge of the place, or a 1
conversation with each other in which
the probable term of their imprison- |
inent was the principal topic.
It was during a similar conversation
that we enter the court-yard of the
prison, and lind Marianne, with some
light work which had been given, by
request, to her. talking and trying to
cheer several others, who are dragging
out the weary terms for which they
are confined.
One of the women is seated a little
apart rrom the rest, weeping over her
hard lot, and It Is to her thai Marianne

"Do not grieve so, Flore tie," she

"Oh, 1 can never live such a life as

About 12 o'clock Tuesday night Mr.
Vingo went to the company store at
he Saxon Mills. The dstanee from
dr. Wingo's linino to the mill was
lot great and lie arrived at the store
n a few moments time. As he ap>r<laelicd
the door he took out his
;cys to 11111< ><*k the store, door, desiring
o use the telephone in the store t.u
ana physician. Mr. Wi ngo noticed
milling wrong and entered as usual,
tarting over In a show case on tlio
Ide of tlu> store to procure some
patches ant', strike alight before usng
t he telephone.
"I was in front of the show cases"
ays Mr, Wingo in telling of the oeurrence,
"and was Just starting Imv
dnd the case to get a match, when
wo men standing, I suppose, behind
he show ease, opened lire on me, tirng
twice. I then retreated to th ?.
loor and went outside. As I reached
-he outside 1 saw two men come out of
-tore door close together and as they
cached the outside one of them dVew
lis pistol and tired at me again. The
wo men then disappeared in the
larkncss over in the direction of Falrnont
where all trace of them was
ost."
Mr. Wingo fortunately was not
it ruck by any of the halls tired by the
mrglars. It, was so dark in the store
:,hat he could not identify it is assail*
ints and it is perhaps due. to the great
larkncss that the burglars were tinible
to take deadly aim when they
fired upon Mr. Wingo.
The men had been in the store prouunably
for some time as they had
succeeded in opening the cash drawer,
which was examined later, when it
was ascertained that twenty dollars
in cash had been taken. Further investigation
also developed the fact
Licit a pistol lying in the store and
three or four pocket knives had also
been taken.
Mr. Wingo Is unable to describe the
men atirt cannot say whether they
were white or black. They made good
their escape. Tin? police have the
matter in hand and will use every
means at command to bring the
ri initials to Justice.
Wants Kissing Slopped.
Kissing will l>o made a misdemeanor
in Virginia punishable witli a tine, il
a hill oll'ered in the house of delegates
Thursday, becomes a law. The unique
measure of which l>r. it. lb Ware,
the member from Amherst, who Is a
physician of splendid reputation, is
the patron, is designed to prevent
promiscuous kissing, but it might
easily be constructed to stand as a
barrier between husband and wife, or
even lover and sweetheart. In order
to enjoy the right to kiss one must
prove by his family physician that he
lias nocontagiousor infectious disease.
The interesting inquiry Is, who will
inform on thekisser. It is not thought
for a moment that any chivalrous
Virginian will take the liberty of bestowing
a kiss where there is real objection,
or in the presence of one who
would give away the secret. Hence
the law would be inoperative, if enacted.
II is None.
A letter from Paris says a man with
a ? < -11111 (lift iwivn liriu iTo.lli'd intAlifin
excitement on the boulevard SalntMichcl.
He was lighting a cigarette
when his nose became suddenly Ignited,
and it and his beard were soon on
lire. The man jumped aiKlut the Imulevard
in pain, and was carried
through a horrified crowd to a chemist's
shop, where the extraordinary
conflagration was extinguished. It
svas then round that the man had a
celluloid nose. His real nasal organ
had gone under in a street row, and
he went to a Mesh-patchcr for an arti- ;
lieial nose, lie had been supplied with
i celluloid instead of a horn proboscis,
ind hence his mishap.
