PRICE $1.50 A Y P GENERAL WADE HAMPTON IN BAL TIXORE. His Views of State and Federal Politics Thinks the Alliance is Dying-Brief Review of theTillman Movement Out of Public Life Forever. [Baltimore Sun.] Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, came to Baltimor yester day, and is the guest of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson. General Hampton said his visit was especially to Mrs. Johnson, as nothing gives him more pleasure when near Baltimore than to come here and try conclusions with her at euchre. He regretted that his visit this time was on Sunday, as it pre vented him trying his skill with her at his favorite game. The General is ex pected to be present at the banquet of the sons of the American Revolution to-night. General Hampton retains his robust figure, and his complexion stili has the ruddy glow of health that has always been his strong characteristic. His flowing side whiskers and his busby moustache have, perhaps, grown a shade lighter since his last visit to Bal timore, though his curly gray hair shows a shade of its early color and still lies thick and heavy above his high forehead. His eyes are bright and. quick and penetrating, and when he turns them on those with whom he is conversing his glauce seems to read thoughts and feelings of the person talking. He is full of anecdotes and reminiscences of his public career and is especially fond of relating the jokes that have been told about his late com panions in the United State Senate. He said that_,on one occasion Senator Blackburn came to South Carolina, at his request, to make a speech. In the course of the speech, Senator Black burn referred in complimentary terms to Senator Hampton, and in his en thusiasm said that if Senator Hamp ton would go to Kentucky to live he would guarantee his election to the United States Senate for life. At this the crowd cheered so long and so lusti ly that Senator Blackburn got very angry, taking the undue applause as a reflection on his own ability as a Sen ator. Ex-Senator Hampton says he is out of politics. He has retired, he says, and intends for the future to keep in the back ground. The Farmers' Alli ance, he said, is rapidly disintegrating in the outb, and within the next 'ears it will completely disappear to live only in the memory of those who have benefited by the upheaval. "This will be the case not only in Sonth Carolina, but throughout the whole South. The people there - rapidly awakening to the absurdity of the demands that the organization has promulgated, and are gradually drop ping off'and forswearing all allegiance to the Alliance. In my own State the Governor who was elected by the sen timent that secured my defeat for re election to the Senate has already broken away in a great measure from the alliance measures and is catering in his administration of the affairs of the State to the conservative and bet ter thinking element. The uprising was founded on dema gogery and fanaticism, and therefore caa not have a long existence. More over, the history of this country has shown that no secret political orgauii zation can live or retain any lasting hold on the public. We are too con servative a people, and too fair mninded in our judgment of right and wrong in popular societies. In my opinion it is folly for any one in this country to en ter into a controversy with a Farmers' Alliance adherent on the sub-treasury plan. The measure is so palpably wrong on its face as to make it absurd to all who have the prosperity and welfare of the country at heart. It can never become a law until passed by Congress, and its absurdity will prevent this, no matter how much demagogues may urge its enactment. This feature of the Alliance has never been fully accepted in the South, and I have too much confidence in our peo ple to think that it ever will be.'' -Referring to the contest for the 'y. -ship of the next house of repre s. General Hampton thought ~'a'didates would be Mr. 2% Mr. Mills, of Texas, ofTen nessee. All ~well equipped ig,and any -id conser t,' he Sof this mii ~th otun s-efital was 'got.direction.

His honesty and fearless have endeared him to our people, nd the mass of them will stand by him for the democratic nomination. Sc.rcely any other name is considered among us except, possibly, an occasion al suggestion from the politicians. The politicians are not for Cleveland in the i South, but the people are with him heart and soul. Not only is this true in my section, but I find that the same sentiment exists elsewhere, notably in the We-t. During a recent visit to Chicago I met Gen. John C. Black, a leading public official sn Illinois. Gen eral Black is not particularly friendly to Cleveland, but he said that if Cleveland was renominated he believed he would carry Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon sin and Indiana. The West is for Cleveland as strong as the South, and if, through bis instrumentality, the Democrats win the election in New York this year nothing can keep the nomination from him." General Hampton will go to Wash ington from Baltimore. He will re main there several days and then re turn to his home in South Carolina. HOW SILVER NOTES STAND. Secretary Foster Tells the Difference Be tween Certificates and Treasury Notes. [New York Herald.1 BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 18, 1891.-A few days ago Secretary Hayes, of the Re publican Club of Massachusetts, wrote Secretary Foster, propounding to him certain questions relative to the pres ent silver coinage law. He has re ceived this reply, which will be found of general interest. Mr. Hayes' letter says: The Republi can club of Massachusetts will be great ly obliged if you kindly answer the following questions for publication. First-Is it true that the act of July 14 increases two and a half times the coinage of eighty cents worth of silver into a dollar? Second-Is the government at pres ent coining silver? if not, when was the coinage stoppedi? Third--Upon what are the present Treasury notes based ? Are they se cured by a coined silver dollar or upon 100 cents' worth of siiver bullion pur chased at ics market value in gold ? Fourth-How does the basis of the present notes differ from the silver eer tificates formerly issued? Fifth-Are not the present notes re deemable in either gold or silver coin at the United States Treasury ? Does the government so redeem them when presented. The reply was as follows: "First-The act of July 14, 1890, does not increase the coinage of silver dol lars, but since the 1st of July of the present year has practically stopped such coinage. "Second-The mints are engaged in .o.ming Zhe silver bullion resuting from the redemption of trade- dollars as re quired Ly the act of March 3, 1891, and in recoining the subsidiary silver coins in the Treasury. The mandatory coin age of silver dollars under the act of July 14, 1890, ceased July 1, 1891. The total coinage of silver dollars under the act of July 14, 1890, from July 1 to October 1, 1891, has been only 366,000, mainly for use on the Pacific coast. "Third-The'present Treasury notes are issued, in the first instance, under the purchase of silver bullion-4,500,000 ounces a month--at its market value. The Law requires that the cost of the silver bullion and the silver dollars coined therefrom held in the Treasury, shall Always equal the amount of Treasury notes outstanding, so that these notes have practically behind them a g(jd dollar's worth of silver bullion. "Fourth-The Treasury notes differ from the silver certificates in that they are redeemable in either gold or silver coin, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, with a provision of law to the effect that these two dollars shall be maintained at parity, which is a virtual promise that the notes shall alway be redeemed in gold or its exact equivalent. The silver certificates are a promise to pay a silver dollar, which has been deposited in the Treasury at the time the certificate was issued, and they are receivable for government dues. "Fif th-Treasury notes are redeemed in gold when so presented for redemp tion at the Treasury or any Assistant Treasury of the United States." a White Man Lynched by White Men for Murdering a Negro.

"Princess and lords may flourish or may fad(, Breath can make them-as a breati has made, But a bold peasantry-our country's pride When once destroyed can never be supplied," I thought of this at Warren, for there stood before us 100 unpretending honest people all from one family. The fair had offered a premium of a large and beautiful family Bible to the head of the largest family thaL assembled upon the grounds. Mr. Benjamin H. Parnell and his good wife were there with ninety-eight living descendants. Did you ever see 100 people in a flock'? Just think of a military company of eighty men and you can imagine what a show 100 people make. It was a rare and novel spectacle. The old patriarch was a clean-shaven, active, erect man, with a ruddy, honest face, and his wife a modest, well-preserved woman, who looked as though she would rather be at home, and had doubts about the propriety of exhibiting herself to the curious gaze of so many wondering people. She was a good-looking ma tron without the usual signs of decay. Her hair was silvered over, but there were no wrinkles or crow's feet or sunken cheeks. She had her husband's arm in the good old way, and it was with a timid shyness that she occasion ally raised her eyes to look upon the speaker who was introducing her and her offspring in the multitude. The good Dr. Martin said : "My friends, here is a man and woman who are the heads of a family of ninety-eight liv! rig de scendants. Seven girls and six boys were born to them, and there has never been a death under their roof. Their children are all happily married. This couple have lived together in loving and peaceful relation for forty-seven years. They and their children have given the public no trouble. They have been diligent in busiuess and eaten honest bread. Young men, we commend to you their good example. Go thou and do likewise, and let us abolish the imgratien bureau." Their Bible was made to order, and had plenty of blank leaves to register the names and marriages and deaths in their order. It was a remarkable scene. Some of the mothers and fath ers had infants in their arms, and all had children gathered around them in separate flocks, and all were dressed in clean and comfortable clothes. It was 1 a pleasure to me to be introduced to them, and, of course, I had to quote t some scripture and tell what David said: "Children are an heritage of the Lord As arrows In the hand of a mighty 'ian so are childre 9( the youth. 0. saiy's the mani t~iiT l'it6hs q~uuve-r-u-.~' They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with enemies in the gate." t That is, they shall be the ambassa dors to make treaties for peace. A man with numerous children and I grandchildren has more at stake andC feels more concern for good govern ment. He ought to be the man to speak with the enemy. If I live to see another war impending I sball speak a little myself. And I recited David's prayer, "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth. And our daughters be as corner stones polished after the simili tude of a palace. "That our garners may be full andt our oxen strong, and there be no comn plaining in our streets. . "Happy is that people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord." That is splendid-isn't it. WVell, I had a pleasant talk with the old gentleman. He is quick of appre hension and said: "You may put downI that there is nothing against me nor my people. None of us have ever beenC accused of anything wrong or brought into court. Me and my wife have be longed to the Baptist church for nigh onto fifty years, and I have voted the Democratic ticket all that time. I moved here 'before there was any rail-0 road in this country and the people were powerful scattering. I have made a good, fair living and am doing it yet. The Lord has been good to us and blessed us. Not a coffin has ever been brought to my house." There is a record of good citizenship. No jails or courthouses for that family. They have served on the jury and worked the public roads, and been kind to their nabors and have stood byr their state and their country. Their &h industry has earned something for w veupon every year.1 G * lsi esI ' isk that good mother how many pairs w >f socks and stockings she has knit in L :he years gone by; how many quilts a :overlets she and her girls had made.

I wouldent change their o1 iabits nor their religion nor their y< >olitics if I could. Some of these days r here will be a death-two deaths mnder that roof, but theirgood example vill not die. It never dies. And while of ruminated about this family another r' e hat fits them: b Far frorn the madding crowd's ignoble lo strife,.p 'heir sober wishes never learned to stray w cng the cool, sequestered vale of life, Ibey kept the noiseless tenor of their way.'' ci Somietimes I think we are doing ~ vroug in exciting our children to more Y ambitious things and pointing them to p1 he high places of the earth. Ambition s a sordid, selfish word. It comes from 'ambio" to walk around hunting for e3 rotes. That is what my big dictionary ea .sys. Better not aspire too high or xpect too much.

President Rogers appointed at the com. ittes for the routine work of the Con vention and delivered his annual ad dress. In this he referred sharply tc the dissessions in the Order, arisiog 3hiefly from the admission to member 3bip of persons who gain admittance ror the purpose of office or political in luence. The sub-treasury scheme was warmly endorsed. The president closed his address as follows: "It is a fact that the partisan press his distorted the truth in reference to the Ocala platform and sub-treasury Dlan. In our State the Democratic press is wont to read every man out of he party advocates the Ocala platform ind the sub-treasury plan. The result )f such an onslaught upon the Alliance 2as caused many of our members to Ldvocate a third party. This condition >f affairs is to -be deplored. Myjudg nent is that the Ocala platform con :ains not a syllable which cannot eadily be endorsed by every true De nocrat throughout the country." The reports of the State secretary and other officers followed the delivery >f the annual address. United States enator Pasco is a delegate from the refferson County Alliance, and there is trong opposition to seating him. The )pposition is based upon the theory hat he is a lawyer and not a farmer. 3e Is duly accredited, however, and he president says be will be seated, SUB-TREASURY ADOPTED. DADE CITY, Fla., Oct.

TILLMAN AND THE/ALLIANCE. Attorney General Pope Talks to the Wash InctonX [Washington Post.] "Gov. Tillman is making a good gov ernor, one of the best we ever had," saii Attorney General Y. J. Pope, of thi Paimetto State, at the Metropolitan "He is fearless and prompt in the dis charge of his duty, and when principle is involved never hesitates. He believe in the enforcement of law and order, as was seen in his command to the sherif of Spartanburg in regard to protecting the negro murderer of Mayor Henne man of that city. "I can't say whether he will be candidate for another term, but it il possible the people may insist on hi: serving them again." "Hasn't he placed himself in opposi tion to the Alliance element by speak ing against the sub-treasury plan?" "He has spoken against that proposi tion, but the farmers, when they in dulge Tin Bober second thought, arn never found as advocates of extreim measures. They are our most coa. servative class. For that reason yot will not see South Carolina goin.g of] after any third party candidate in the Presidential struggle next year. ThE old State will keep in line, and thE Democratic ticket will win as usual.' MAIL DELIVERED TO FARMERS. A Scheme to Come up Betore the Next Con. gress. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-An organized effort in under way among the farmers to secure from congress free mail de livery in country towns. The Farmers' Alliance, the Patrons of Husbandry and other orders are canvaissing the matter. Letters are being written to the con gressmen in favor of the object, and petitions to congress for free delivery are being circulated in many parts of the country. The farmers assert that the daily mail delivery to their door will add perfectly to the money value of their farms, and will be worth still more because it will keep them in touch with the markets and outside world, and rob farm life of its isolation and monotony. The farmers are writing to the agricultural press that this conven ience would enable them quite gener ally to take the daily papers, as well as to subscribe for local papers more liber ally. In the American Agriculturist for November, Postmaster General Wanamaker states definitely for the first time that experiments by the post office department for free delivery in the farming districts show that the in crease of revenue more than pays all increased expense. He believes that universal free delivery would, therefore, be self-sustaining. The first successful blood-purifier ever offered to the publie was Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Imitators have had their day, but soon abandoned the field, while the demand for this incompara ble medicine increases year by year and wna never so grreat a at present. HIS SHIP AGAINST SEVEN. or Capt. lugraham Demanded Justice for an American and Got it-His Batteries Twice Trained on the Arch duke's Ship-A Story of the Early Days 11 of Our Navy. al - - re [From the New York Sun.] e In these days of the rehabilitation of ir the United States navy we may recall Ie with pride unalloyed with regret the k good old days of yore when all the world knew and respected the prowess of American war vessels. And the death of Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham ,n in Charleston, S. C., on Friday, gives a proper opport,inity to recall those days. For, as was suggested in the obituary notice published in the Sun of Saturday morning, this Duncan Nathaniel In graham was the hero of one of those d remarkable episodes which made other nations understand that the tail of the American bird could not be pulled, plucked, twisted, trod upon, or other it wise disrespectfully used under the guns r. of an American war vessel. e There had been Capt. Paul Jones and 12 Commodore Perry and old Admiral 1 Porter, who had fought English and d French aid Portuguese and the Bar e bary States, and all mtnner of craft e flying flags legitimate or illegitimate, and all of them had come off conquer ers. Those were the days of wooden y ships and sailing craft, when the ele y ment of romance was enhanced by the big sails and the swarming over the a sides with cutlasses. and halberds and all that sort of thing. A good- part of the officers then were of Southern fam ilies-scions of houses that upheld e themselves in something like f;:udal state. These young men came of excel lent ancestry, of which they were ex t ceeding proud. Of these Duncan Na thaniel Ingraham was one of the best examples. His father had been a naval officer, a ~ friend of Paul Jones and one of his 2 companions in that famous fight be e tween the Serapis and the Bon Homme Richard. It was quite natural that the son should enter the navy. He was born in 1802, and when 10 years old was already a midshipmite. Promotion in those days was as slow as now, perhaps t a little slower. So although this young man fought through the war of 1812, 3 he was still a midshipman. In 1818 or thereabouts, when the original David Porter went down to the Southern watejs of the United States to attend to the pirates who infested the small 3 islands and the mysterious inlets of the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, young Ingraham was aboard his vessels and saw pirates hanged at the yard arm, and learned to be vigilant, quick, reso lute, and unflinching in the bet school ever naval officer had. Ingraham, risen to a commander, mZr in41t iex can war, and a few years after its close jt squadron of the Mediterranean. He ~. was in command of the St. Louis, which is said to have been the pride of the American navy, and which was certainly a formidable ship for those days. It was a sloop of war armed with two 50-pounders. On June 22, r 18.53, he sailed into the harbor of Smyr na, in Asiatic Turkey. He found that he was just in the nick o' time to take advantage of one of those chances for fame which come to every man, so it is said. In the revolution of Hungary against Austria in 174S-'49, which Louis Kos suth led, Martin Koszta was a conspic uous figure. When the revolution was put down, Kossuth, Koszta, and sever al others fled to Turkey and stopped in Smyrna. After long negotiation th.e Turkish Government refu~sed to give them up. Then Kossuth and Koszta went to the United States, where Koszta decided to settle. He engaged in business in New York, and in July, 18.52, declared under oath his intentiont of becoming a citizen of the United States. The next year, having business in Smyrna, Koszta went tbere and remained for some time undisturbed,a as indeed he might have oxpected, since Smyrna was not on Austrian soil But ' Koszta had so infiamed the Austrian f Government against him that a plot ~ batched to capture him.~ On June 21, e 1853, a band of Greek mercenaries in e Smyrna, hired by the Austrian Consul, ti overpowered Koszta, hu'stled him into a boat, and took him aboard an Aus- ij tian ship of war, the Huzzar, ,hich ~ was in command of no less a person a than the Archduke John, brother of a the Emperor and Admiral of the Aus trian navy. 5 At any rate, Martin Koszta was put o: in irons and otherwise treated as a ca criminal and dangerous person. The 11 next day, when all Smyrna was talk- c. ing about this, a sloop of war, the St. u Louis, Commander Ingraham, sailed F into the harbor. Capt. Ingrahamn, J, who had been in a war in which the tl United States had taught Great Britian A a few lessons of respect for A merican re citizens, was up in arms at once. He A went aboard the Huzzar and very ft courteously asked permission to see rr Koszta. The Austrian commander, after some hesitation, granted the re ti quest. Commander Ingraham assured himself that Koszta was entitled to the a] protection of the American flag. He demanded his release of the Austrian" commander, and, when it was refused, cc sent a note to the nearest United States re official, Consul Brown, at Constantino pie. While he was awaiting an answer tc six Austrian war sbips sailed into the c< harbor and took up positions near the tl Huzzar. On June 29, before any an- p< swer had come from Consul Brown, the St. Louis noticed unusual signs of pi activity on board the Huzzar, and of pretty soon she began to get under way. ..TJ CapL. Ingraham straightway put the St. Louis is such a position that the Huzzar could not pass, and cleared his decks for action. The Huzzar hove to, and then Capt Ingraham went aboard and said to the Austrian commander, who received him with great courte. sy: "What is the meaning of this move on your part?" "We propose to sail for home," re plied the Austrian. "The Consul has ordered us to take our prisoner to Aus tria." "You will pardon me," said Capt. Ingraham very camly. "But I hope you will not leave thi! harbor with the American gentleman you have kid napped. If your do I shall be com pelled to resort to extreme measures." The Austrian look around the harbor at the line of friendly war ships and then looked at the St. Louis with her decks cleared, and then smiled pleas antly at Capt. Ingraham and said that the Huzzar would do as she pleased. Capt. Ingraham bowed and betook himself to the St. Louis. He had no sooner got aboard than he said: "Clear the guns for action!" And the Archduke had the pleasuze of seeing the batteries of the St. Louis turued upon him. He realized that having the wrong side of the matte-*. he had put himself in a very bad position. Huzzar was put about and sailed back to her old anchorage. The Archduke sent word to Capt. Ingrahp.m that he would await the arrival of the note from Mr.Brown. On the afternoon of July 1 Capt. In graham got his reply. The Consul at Constantinople commended his course, and told him to do whatever he thought best to prevent an outrage to an Ameri can. Late that evening Capt. Ingra ham sent an officer aboard the Huzzar with a note. The note formally de mAnded the release of Mr. Koszta, and said that unless the prisoner was de livered aboard the St. Louis by 4 o'clock the next afternoon Capt. In graham would take him from the Aus trians by force. The Archduke sent back a formal refusal. At 8 o'clock on the next morning, July 2, Capt. Ingra nam once more cleared his decks for action and trained his batteries so that the Huzzar would get their full force at the first discharge. The seven Aus trian war vessels cleared their decks aLd put their men at the guns. All this while great excitement had prevailed in Smyrna, and, when the ,itizens saw these last hostile demon itrations, they crowded the shores, easer to see this one-sided battle which all knew would not end so long as the American flag floated above water. At 10 o'clock the Austrian sent an )fficer to Capt. Ingraham. This offi 3er tried to temporize, but Capt. Ingra bam refused to listen to him. Hesaid: "To avoid the worst, I will agree to let t man be delivered to the French _o___S_rn until your Govern Inent has a chni ct. But he ziust be delivered there or I wi 3im. I cannot fail. My cause is just. [ have stated the time." Again the Austrian sent a man to rapt. Ingraham. but this time Capt. [ngraham refused to receive him. ['hen the Austian Consul-General :ame out from Smyrna and tried his liplomacy. Capt. Ingraham simply epeated that that the French Consul nust have Koszta by 4 o'clock or there vould be trouble. At 12 o'clock a boat left the side of :he Huzzar with Koszta on it, and one iour awterwa,rd the French Consul ent word that Koszta was in his keep ng. Later in the day several of the Austrian war vessels sailed out of the iarbor. Then camne long negotiations etween Secretary of State William L. f1arcy and the Austrian Charge d'Af airs at Washington, M. Hulsemann, t the end of which Austria admitted hat the United States was right, apolo ~ized, and released all claim upon Mr. Coszta. Capt. Ingraham got a gold medal nd a vote of thanks from Congress, a old medal from the citizens of New ork, medals and other testimonials om several American citizens, and a resent of a fine chronometer and an. ngrossed letter from the workingmen f England, raised by a penny subscrip on. As a sort of addition to this incident i the story of how J. Clancy Jones sed Commander ingraham 's name in similar episode in 1859. Mr. Jones as then minister to Austria. The .ustrian Government was most anx >us that no plans of the fortifications E Vienna t>e made. A young Ameri an, studying medicine in Vienna, was raking some sketches of these fortifi itions, one day ia an idle spirit and in tter igu'orance of the law against it. [e was arrested and locked up. Mr. :>nes inquired into it and foun d out e truth, ant' splained it fully to the ustrian M..ster, at the same time questing the release of the young merican. The Prime Minister re ised to listen, and said that Lhe young tan should and would be punished. When Mr: Jones saw that the Aus ian wa set he said: "Then I regret very much -that I iall have to bid you farewell." "A re you going?" said the Austrian.1 [ am indeed sorry, and hope that yourI >nn try will be as ably and agreeably presented by your successor." "I fear there will not be a successor 'me ver.v soon," said Mr. Jones, I am impelled to':demand an audien.ce with e Emperor. I wish to get my pass >rts." "What!" said the Austrian," youri issports? You do not intend to make1 this episode so serio.us a matter?" "It is a serious matter," said Mr. case. Capt. Ingraham is still cruising in the Mediterranean, by the way, and I shall be able to put him in immedi ate knowledge of this affair also. I have the honor to bid you farewell." The Austrian minister did not know what to make of this. But he felt that Americans were not proper persons to punish as examples,and; after-delaying a day or two, released the young med ical student. With the outbreak of the civil war Capt. Ingraham resigned, and in March, 1861, entered the Confederate service. He was then 59 years old, and was assigned first to the navy yard at Pensacola and then toCharleston,where he distinguished .himself by break ing the blockade. Since the war he had lived very quietly in his birthplace, Charleston. He was married.toa grand daughter of Henry Laurens and John Randolph, and through his wife was connected with some of the greatest officers in the British navy. HER IDEA OF A MODEL HUSBAND.
