A WIND STORM AT M03U-E. BARTLETT Coriijrossiiiiiti Defomls IJ.iilo}" mol Op« pours Kxpnnsloii. Macon, J.m. 7 —Coupressman Charles L. Bartlett, who has K nU0 *° hashing- ton to resume 1m oflloial duties, ex pressed himself before departing on two l questions which the country at largo is deeply interested in—the question raised States court bv Judge Newman, who. . - - , . , , after argument^ whieh was delivered on by Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader of GOIiIRZ MISREPRESENTED the que-tioii of tiie jurisdic:ion of the jjjg bouse, as to the rights of any mem ber of congress to hold bis seat while Jose Frias Arrives In Washington Willi a l*lnn For the Settlement of Finances on the Island and Talks Interestingly. Wasminuton, Jan. 10.—Dr. ,T»«o An tonio Frias, chairman of the linance commute of the Cuban assembly, and one of the leading lawyers of the- island, has arrived in Washington and wi.l pre sent to the department of state a plan for the settlement of thy financial sys tem of Cuba. This plan includes a method of appropriating certaiu reve nues toward tne payment of the Cuban soldiers when they are disbanded and other financial measures lor the relief of the poor. Dr. Frias is a leading candidate for the appointment of chief justice, al though it is asserted that his mis-ion in Wa-hiugton at this time is imt to fur ther Ids candidacy for that office, but is solely for the purpose of presuuliug hi* financial plans. ••in ad ijtum to the financial scheme ■which we have proposed,” said Dr. Frias, “Dr. Capote, president of the Cuban assembly, has, with others, ■worked out an admirable plan for the government of the island, drawn from the knowledge of the existing laws and practices of the courts ami various local offices ami which will be submitted to the United Stales. •‘Already General Brooke has sur round'd himself with some of tbeabiest Cuban leaders as advisers. They realize that for the present intervention is necessary. The leaders have become reconciled to it and the great majority of the people are steadily coining to take this view of the matter. I regard it nee, sary, however, that Cubans should be made tlio police officers in all the large eities, for tho reason that they understand tin people, know who the malefactors are and are able to better prevent trouble than the Americans. The Spaniards, if retained, are sure to encourage dissensions. It has always been their policy to accept bribes and they will continue to do so as long as they are maintained in official positions and trouble is sure to result from it. “General Gomez has been grossly mis represented in a great many respects. ] have reason to know that he is not ant * American, as has been charged | against him The statements that he ' has opposed American intervention, I ! know to be absolutely and maliciously ! false. General Gomez is a true patriot; j he lias made as many sacrifices as any I man living or dead for the cause of Cu ban independence, and in this statement I am in no way belittling the grand ! efforts and the noble Sacrifices of the many martyrs to the cause of Cuban ! liberty. “Fa-triot as bo is, he realizes that American intervention at this time is a necessity. He sees it as do other Cu- ; ban leaders, and as it is a necessity bo j not only tolerates it without objection, but rs iu favor of it.” court in su'di matt 'C-*, decided that he did not have jurisdiction and that the cases could not be lawfully tried iu the circuit court. Tne celebrated cases at one tinio promis'd lo cause one of the greatest : sensations the sta,o has seen in a long while. Eberhart and Boykin were charged with holding in involuntary servitude negro laborers on a farm in Ogiethorjie county. It was stated in the indictments that they would hire men ami then compel them to serve as slaves. \Y hen the case was called in the United States court • nno time ago, the attor neys for the defendants demurred to the in iietment and stated that the court did not have jurisdiction, and that if the case was jo come up anywhere it should be brought iu the superior court of Ug ethorjie county. Judge Newman’s opinion is: a short on*' nnd slates tbat he will not take jur,. motion of the matter. It is not thought that tho cases will be prosecuted in tho state courts of the county. COLONS NOW Lei IN COLUMBIA. islature Formally Convenes For Its Annual Session. Coi.T MiiiA, S. G, .fan. 10.—The state legislature convened in annual session at noon today with a full attendance.

Savannah, Jan. 10. — According to latest reports, tho Third Georgia regi ment may leave Savannah on tho trans port Koumauia Thursday or Friday. The United States transport Ronma- nia, from Havana, which arrived at j contentious. I 1 he plain! ill is the Consolidated Street Railway company alone, thus ruling serving 111 tho army, aud the question of the Philippines. “In reference to tlio s trite me nts in *h'- papers criticising Mr. Bailey as attack ing General Wheeler,” said Mr. Bart lett, “I must say that I feel assured that the conditions as they exist in the house and the resolution which Mr. Bailey has introduced, are not understood. “I think that Mr. Bailey did tho proper thing in intr<xluciug the resolu tion, which simply directs the judiciary committee of tho house to inquire ! whether any member of tho house has been appointed and accepted a conimis- ! sion iu rue army; and, if so. what effect such appointment has on his member- ■ ship iu the house; and whether any ■ member so appointed to-an office in the - army has exercised any act as a mem- 1 her of the house. “It is erroneous to say that Mr. Bailey is attacking General Wheeler j any more than he is attacking either or all of the three other gentlemen who were commissioned as army officers. That a member of congress has no right to hold an office under the United States during his continuance in office is clear from the constitution.” Speaking on the subject of expansion, Mr. Bartlett said; “I am opposed to the United States holding the Philippine islands. While I approve of the terms of the treaty which requires Spain to relinquish her sovereignty over them, I will never sus tain any proposition looking to the gov ernment acquiring these islands perma nently as a pari of our territory.” NEW INJUNCTION GRANTED.
