LOS ANGELES, WEDNESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 5, 1894-
ANARCHY IN ALABAMA.
"Governor" Kolb Publishes a
Message.
An Exceedingly Revolutionary
Document.
He Advises tbe People to Refuse to
Pay Taxes.
A Chaos;* of Administration la Sonth
Carolina—lnangnratloa of
Governor Tillman's
Soooessor.
By tbe Associated Press.
Birmingham, Ala,, Dec. 4.— R. F.
Kolb, who claims io be governor o:
Alabama, today completed a message to
the legialature which be signs as gover
nor and which will be transmitted to
tbat body tomorrow. The message ia
also addressed to the people of Alabama
and is a long, end in many respects,
revolutionary document, as it recom
mends that bis followors do not pay
their taxes for a while. He further aays:
"I further advise those collectors who
value the cause I represent and which
wilt assuredly prevail, to delay all pay
ments of Btate taxes into the state
treasury, until an impartial hearing haa
been had of our oomplaint under a fair
and honest contest law."
When it is rerdembered that tbe tax
collectors in 38 out of 66 counties in tbe
state are Kolbite?. it will be eeen that if
they take his advice tbe Kolb govern
ment will find strong support and Ala
bama will be threatened with aneroby.
In his message Kolb says:
"Tbe revolntionary conditions of our
state government must become tbe sub
ject of your continued and most anxious
contemplation. The plans of the
usurpers, ao alarming to yon, are abat
ing in nothing to reduce you to an ab
j .'ct and final submission to their un
bridled will and passions. You have eeen
your juat demands for the full exeoution
of tbe system for the election, of a
governor and other state officers eecured
tc you by sacred constitutional guaran
tees, deliberately set aside by tbe legis
lators, itself only a creature of the con
stitution. I declare to yon without fear
nf contradiction, tbat if the present
party in conttol of your govornment
be not arrested in its mad career, no
elections can be held in Alabama under
the law and constitution."
He then reviews the provisions of the
constitution and says:
"Because the legislature of 1892-93
did expressly revoke the sections of tha
civil ende, however onperfected, which
seemed to allow a content, of tbe election
of tbe governor and other state officers,
by refusing on demand to restore them
or to substitute others of a reasonable
and practical nnture, you are perfectly
justified in declaring there can be no
elrction of a governor or other state
officers undor the constitution of Ala
bnma, binding on you, which is tainted
with fraud at the ballot box."
He then urged the legislature to on
ce! contest lawe, and advises bis frienda
to organize clubs to assist in the general
object of his appeal. The message con
cludes :
"If Colonel Gates and his faction fear
not the troth, if they court equity and
are ready to abide by justice, they will
hesitate at nothing to remove tbe color
of dishonor from his title to the office he
bas seized by nrmu."
EXIT TILLMAN.
A « hang* of Adminiatration In Sonth
Ciirollna.
Columbia, 8. C, Dec. 4. —Benjamin
Ryan Tillman is no longer governor of
South Carolina. At 1:30 p. in. today tie
was succeeded by his chief lientenant,
John Gary Evans. Several people as
sembled in tbe hall of the house of rep
resentatives, despite a raw and chilly
i day with intermittent rains, to witness
| tbe ceremonies of inauguration. As
tbe inaugural procession entered, tbe
baud played Hail to tbe Chief.
Prominent among those on the stage
were United States Senator Irby, ex-
Governor Tillman anil tbe justices of
tbe supreme court. After prayer by the
Rev. John A. Rice the oath of office
was administered to Mr. Evans by
Chief Justice McCnor. He spoke dis
tinctly and vrlthout tremor. His ad
dress consumed about an hour in de
livery. He said:
"Gentlemen of the General As
sembly:—Aiter obtaining tbe will of the
people in three separate elections, I am
nere todey to assume the governorship
of the proudest people on the globe.
Thirty years ago tho election of a man
' f my age to the highest gift in the
honor of tbe people would have been
oalled unconstitutional. A young man
in Sooth Carolina would not have dared
aspire to this honor for fear of gain
ing the odium of tbe class who,
by reason of age or inheritance, con
sidered the ofllce no tbeir particular
property without regard to tbe populai
will. Tbere are some who still regard
tha political conteet of 1892, which gave
to us an aristocracy of brains instead of
lands and money, as au hallucination.
Thia gentle slumber will result in good
and the Rip Van Winkles of the state will
awake to rind themselves models of an
tiquity, surrounded by youngsters of
modern progress and development Who
have nothing but reverence for tbem.
It ia a matter ot congratulation to
the people that this effort to etay the
course of reform by an appeal to an
ignorant and purchaseable vote bas
been rebuked the second time in a
manner unmistakable in terms, and let
us hope that in the future there will be
found in the etate none co igooble as to
dare to threaten ne with a return of the
dark days from 1808 to 187(5.
"It is .unfortunate, indeed, that the
foundation of our social and political
institutions is the unity of tbe white
people. Thia condition was thrust upon
us by tbe emancipation and enfranchise
ment with one stroke of the uufortu
nata, ignorant Blaves, unfit to govern
even themselves, placed in power by
the bayonet and forced to govern tbeir
former masters, We thus witness a
spectacle seldom recorded in history. A
government of ignorance, vice and cor
ruption over wirxlom, virtue and hon
esty. I say on the threshold of my ad
ministration that it is for our people to
oome together and be a nnited people
and let tbe responsibility fall on those
of the opposition wbo insist on a 'rule
or rnin policy.'
"We are fast coming to the plight
whioh Ireland ii in. uir great planta
tions are becoming merely tbe hunting
preserves of the wealthy, and tbe labor
er year by year is being ground to pov
erty and servitude. The party that was
true to us is tba past we must look to
in the future or suffer defeat from one
extreme of tbe land to the other, and
today not a Democratic state is left
north of Mason and Dixon's line. The
northeast seemed to be deaf to our ap
peals and tbe ray of light which we bad
hoped for in the west ima proved as
fickle as an aurora borealis. South Car

vi„,„ uvoijr g.uMy uiuini
political reform, and it remains for us
to set the pace for the nation, which
will ultimately bring reliof to the entire
people."
Governor Evans begins bis specific
recommendations witb suggestions that
tbe state agricultural society be given a
small appropriation. He congratulates
the people upon the calling of tbe con
stitutional convention, and tho South
Carolina oollege, he says, should be
opened to women in all of its classes.
Tho constitutional convention should
provide special courts for the trial of
criminals usually victims of lynch law.
These courts should protect the victim
and tbe ravisher from public and vulgar
cross examination and tbe notoriety of
newspapers exploitation. Of the dis
pensary law he cays:
"I am thoroughly satisfied, after an
active canvass of tbe etate, that the
dispensary law is now written in tbe
hearts of the people and is favored by
fully 85 per cent of the population. It
shall be a duty and pleasure that the
remainder respect and obey it."
He ebarply arraigned towns hostile to
the law. The remedy was v/ith tbe leg
islature. Oovornor Evans' remedy is
supposed to be a metropolitan police
iorce for Charleston and other towns
where tbe administration of the law is
obstrncted. Tbe governor condemns
the practice of leasing convicts to pri
vate parties. In closing, Governor
Evans says:
"If, wben I return tbia commission, I
can cay, 'Behold a happy people, iv
peace, love and unity,' my reward will
Ibe great and sufficient. I aak the sup
port of my friends, the charity of my
enemies and the help of God. I now
dedicate my head, hand and heart to the
service cf my statu."

Slims Talk of Kalelnr Passenger Kates
to the Coast.
Chicago, Dec. 4. —The general meet
ing of all the western lines again ad
i journed this morning to permit tbe
i transcontinental lines to take up the day
with an effort to settle tbeii differences.
! The latter roads were in session all day
j and finally adjourned until tomorrow.
| Most of tbe timo waa, taken up with a
disouaaion over tbe regular trip rates
from the Missouri river to the coast,
tbe proposition at the close of the meet
ing being to advance the rates $25. No
action was taken on the propoaition.
The transcontinental linea expect to get
together tomorrow, and the general
meeting will be called as soon as they
ate through.
The transcontinental lines are meet
ing with trouble in their efforts to get
together, and to make ths matter worse
there seems to be a disposition on tbe
part of some of the lines to ignore tbe
agreement into which the lines entered
last week to abolish the payment of
commissions. It is declared tbat com
missions are being paid on tbe streets of
San Francisco just as thoy were
before the agreements were made.
It is also said the agents of
tbe Missouri Pacific at Omaha
have men paying commissions, and when
called to account have said they wero
ignorant that an agreement had beeu
formed. It this sort of thing continues
for any length of time there will be no
association formed at all and the con
dition of passenger ratea in all the west
ern territory will be in a state of chaos.
The meetine of tho depart
ment of the Central Traffic association
which wae to have been held in New
York has been postponed until Decem
ber Bth and will be bold in Chicago.

Field Marshal Yamagata Too 111 for
Military Her vine —Slaughter of
Tonghaks In Southern
Corea.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Deo. 4. —A dispatch from
official Japanese sources, giving an ac
count of Commissioner Detring's peace
mission, was received here today by a
gentleman in the diplomatio service.
It is as follows:
Mr. Oetring, commissioner in the
Chinese cuatom aervice at Tien Tein,
arrived at Kobe on the 26th of Novem
ber and expressed a wish to personally
deliver to Count Ito a letter from Li
Hung Chang. Under the circumstances
the proceeding was considered anoma
lous and contrary to usage. Count Ito
refused to meet Mr. Detring. At the
same time Mr. Detring received tele
graph orders from Prince Kung, presi
dent of tbe Tsi Lung Yamsn, calling
ing bim to China. Accordingly he left
Kobe on tbe 20th of November; but be
fore going he aent tbe viceroy'a letter to
Count Ito by post. The object of tbe
letter was to ascertain the conditions
upon which peace might be restored.
It waa aiao atated that Li Hung
Chang had obtained the sanction of the
emperor of China to the mission of Mr.
Detring, which had for its obj3ct tbe
purposeol confidentially ascertaining the
views uf the Japanese government, but
Mr. Detring's sudden return to Chios
under orders of the president of the Tsi
Lung Yamen, appears to throw some
doubt upon the accuracy of this state
ment.
NEGOTIATIONS languishing.
London, Dec. 4.—According to advices
received from an excellent authority,
upon the subject of negotiations for
peace between China and Japan, the
negotiations are net making progress
as supposed. It seems that Japan in
lands to insist upon stronger and more
tangible proofs of China'submission be
fore talking of peace. '
Tbe limes correspondent at Chee
Foo, says: Foreigners here are prepar
ing for defense. The Cbiness have lit
tle confidence in tbe reports tbat an
armistice is about to be concluded.
MARSHAL YAMAGATA ILL.
A dispute!! to the Central News from
Tokio says a report, to which much
credence is given, is current there to the
effect, that Field Marshal Yamagata,
commander of the Japanese army, is bo
aeriously indisposed that it haa been
decided necessary far him to be invali
ded, and one of the court chamber
lains baa started for the frontier witb a
message from the emperor. Lieuten
ant-General Nczu has been promoted
to be a general, and will at once assume
command of the first Jansneae army.
Captain Miura has been appointed to
command of tbe cruiser Yamasbire and
the late harbor master at Ss Se Bo has
been made governor of Port Arthur.
TONGHAKS SLAUGHTERED.
The Times has a dispatch from Kobe,
Japan, stating tbat several thousand
Tonghaks attacked tbe Japanese troops
at Koog Ju, iv Southern Corea, on
November 28. Tbe Japanese were
victorious and tbe Tonghaks were
slaughtered by the wholesale. Some of
the leaders of the rebels were killed.

currency in accordance with the sugges

a suggestion to the effect that the wisest
course lay in the abandonment of an
effort to pass tbe free raw material bills
(so-called) because of tbe evident deter
mination of the Republicans to prevent
any action.
Senator Vest showed an inclination
toward cloture, contending if tbe Dem
ocrats did hot adopt it, the Republicans
would when they should come into
power.
Senator Morgan presented a plea for •
liberal allowance of time for the consid
eration of the Nicaragua canal bill.
While no action on any question was
taken by tbe caucus, the prevailing
sentiment at the close of the caucus
seemed to be tbat its ultimate decision
would be adverse to the entire series
of propositions presented by Senator
Daniel. The sentiment favorable to
cloture seemed quite evenly divided.
There was also a strong sentiment favor
able to the passage of tbe sugar bill, as
reported by the finance committee,
striking out all differentials on sugar
and leaving a straight revenue duty of
40 per cent ad valorem, but it was
pointed out tbat should an attempt be
made in this direction it would open up
the entire tariff question.
