Governor Coffin Worked a Dramatic Scene
Into His Part.
Atlanta, Got. 21.—Connecticut has had
her day at the exposition. Governor Cof

grounds at 11 o'clock. After a review of
the military, Mayor Porter King of Atlan

a dramatic scene by pausing in his
Speech, advancing to Governor Atkinson,
clasping his hand and pledging on be
half of Connecticut, the hand of broth
erly fellowship. President Collier paid a
high compliment to Connecticut's part in
the exposition, and then Prof. Paul Ray

THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.
It Is Not Any Nearer a Solution Than Is the
Dispute Between Corbett and
' Fitzsimmons.
Washington, Oct. 21.—It is doubted it
Gi^at Britain's ultimatum to Venezuela
has yet reached Caracas. The state de
partment, it is believed, will be informed
of its contents as soon as it shall have
been placed in Crespo’s hands. At noon
today the department had hoard nothing
with reference to the matter either
through the American charge d affairs at
Caracas, or Mr. Andrade, the Venezue
lan representative. If Venezuela does
not immediately acquaint the United
States with the full text of the ultimatum
it will be the first exception she has made
since her long standing trouble with
Great Britain began. The importance of
the present affair so much exceeds in
gravity any olj. the previous contentions
between the two countries that it is not
doubted that Venezuela, following her
usual custom, will at once place copies of
all communications relating to the Uli
ana incident before Secretary Olney.
The probability that Great Britain will
take drastic measures to enforce, her de
mands make the affair one of absorbing
interest to diplomats and public officials
as well. The ultimatum has had extend
ed discussion since Sunday last and spec
ulation Is Increasing instead of diminish
ing as to its outcome. It is contended that
Venezuela can neither apologize nor pay
an indemnity for the arrest of Sergeant
Behrens.
To do this will be, it is claimed, a tacit
admission that the British functionary
and his associates were seized on English
Soil. That they were not on English soil
is evidenced by the facts that at the time
of their arrest they wer<* fully fifty miles
west of the Sehomburg line which mounts
the boundary of Great Britain's western
pretensions. The Venezuelan govern
ment feels that it has already made every
reparation which international law de
mands. Sergeant Behrens was reim
bursed for the property alleged to have
been lost by him, while General Sifontes,
who commanded the military distinct in
which the arrest occurred, was promptly
relieved and sent to another state as a
rebuke for his unnecessary zeal in per
mitting the arrest to be made. This being
the case the Crespo government fed that
any further asknowledgment of the af
fair woud degrade them In the eyes of the
civilized world! It is also regarded as sig
nificant that her majesty's government
should not have acted with reference to
the TTruna incident until. Secretary Ol
ney’s memorandum to Lord Salisbury in
which he elaborated the interpretation
put by thiis country upon the Monroe doc
trine, had been received at he British
foreign office. So far as Venezuela is
concerned, the incident was supposed to
have been settled by the release of the
British officer and the prominence given
to the affair at this late date, is for that
reason, not clearly understood although
its motive is shrewdly suspected.
The diplomatic representatives of Cen
tral and South America are following this
affair with Interest second only to that
which would attach to a similar complica
tion between their own countries and a
great European power.
However much the Latin-Ameriean re
publics may wrangle among themselves,
however numerous and deep seated the
commercial and political rivalries that
exist between them, it Is obvious so far
as the outside world is concerned, they
are a unit whenever the interests of one
of their number are jeopardized. In the
present case Venezuela's quarrel with
Great Britain partakes of a personal
character, so far as the dozen Spanlsh
Amertoan republics are concerned. They
contend that the Urn ana affair is a mere
incident connected wiitih the repeated vio
lations of the Monroe doctrine, of which
Great Britain has been guilty in Vene
zuela for half a century, and conspicu
ously during the last decade or more.
Great Britain, it is asserted, is in the
present instance, testing the United
States with reference to the Monroe doc
trine and in using the ITrirana incident
as a pretext to force the hand of the
United States. No hint is given by Sec
retary OIney or any stale department offi
cial as to the course which this country
will pursue with reference to Great
Britain's ultimatum, nor from present in
directions is It likely to be given.
It is not believed that a blockade, by
Great Britain, of Venezuela's ports would
enable the former country to collect an
indemnity however small.
If Venezuela, should prove stubborn and
decline to pay an Indemnity, whatever
revenues It needed might be raised by
the imposition of internal taxes in lieu of
customs duties. It is stated that the
Venezuelan people would willingly bear
these new burdens In order to maintain
their national dignity and self respect.

TILLMAN AGAIN DEFEATED.
He Wanted to Limit the Number of Coun
ties to Sixty-Two.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 21.—In the consti
tutional convention today the article on
counties and county governments was
taken up. It game into the convention
in minority and majority form. The first
is under consideration. The section pro
viding' for the formation of new counties
with small areas has been under discus
sion all day. Mr. Sheppard ha.s moved
to limit the total number of counties to
fifty. Senator Tillman to sixty-two and
Mr. G. D. Tillman of the committee wants
to leave out all restrictions except as to
an acreage limitation. Mr. George Till
man was in the midst of an elaborate ar
gument when the hour of recess arrived.
The debate upon the now constitution
was continued at the evening session
until after 11' o'clock, when a vote on
Tillman’s amendment to limit the whole
number of counties in the state to sixty
two was voted down, ninety members
voting against him. Elaborate argu
ments were made by George D. Tillman,
Senator Tillman, George Johnstone and
W. C. McGowan.
The suffrage, committee m’et this even
ing and made some changes in the article
reported to the convention. The first
section now reads: “All elections by the
people shall be by ballot and the elections
shall never he held on the ballots counted
In section.”
Another change allows “ministers,"
formerly reading “ministers of the gos
pel, and teachers of puhlic schools" to
vote if otherwise qualified. Another im
portant amendment makes section 12
read thus: "Electors in municipal elec
tions shall possess all the qualifications
herein prescribed and the general as
sembly shall provide for a special regis
tration of voters for each municipal elec
tion. provided that the governor shall
appoint municipal registration officers.”
The last clause of this means a declara
tion of war on municipal self control.

COTTON MEN ARE WILD,
The Price of Cotton Went Down and Carried
Several Big New Orleans Firms
Down With It.
New Orleans, Oct. 21.—When the cotton
business closed here Saturday the dis
organized and demoralized bulls who had
been routed at every point hoped that
with the intervening Sunday something
would turn up to save them from abso
lute ruin. Many really believed the bot
tom had’ been touched.
This morning the market opened almost
destitute of the exciting features of the
tremendous Hurry of Saturday. Every
body was infected with a few degrees
of fever, however, and it required but lit
tle to turn bedlam loose. The market
opened at about 2 to 4 points below Sat
urday's closing prices. From this on
there was a continued decline. Between
11:30 and 12 o’clock the wild excitment of
Saturday was perhaps surpassed. The
announcement of the failure of Emmet
& peueh and L. G. Gibert & Co., was
posted and added somewhat to the frenzy
of the brokers. January futures went
down to S.07, but there was a rally and
the market closed steady at 8.19 to 8.20.
The heavy selling was almost entirely
for liquidation.
A representative of the Southern As
sociated Press interviewed several promi
nent cotton Ai ms and brokers tonight, and
was assured that the failure of Emmet &
Peuch and Gibert & Co., had no effect
whatever upcn the market, as it was
looked for.
It was known that these Anns were
loaded down with obligations on account
of country customers whose remittances
could not possibly reach here in time on
account of the continued rapid decline.
Both firms have large amounts of money
locked up which they could not realize.
Their suspension was, therefore, inev
itable. They will pay not less than 75
cents on every $1 of their obligations,
probably dollar for dollar, and both firms
will resume business In a few days. The
firms interviewed believe that the mar
ket has been pretty well sold out and
the worst is over.
The brokers will hold a meeting tonight
at 12 o’clock for their mutual Interest
and will eliminate all contracts which
should not exist. This will clear up the
situation materially. This meeetlng will
be private and what it does will not be
given out.

THE ALGIERS’ FIRE. i
The Loss Will Amount to $400,000 With
Little Insurance.
New Orleans, Oct. 21.—The people of
Algiers have been engaged today. In en
deavoring to get something like order
out of chaos, caused by the fire yesterday
morning and making plans for the future.
The subscription, which was started for
the relief of the homeless, continues to
grow, all the newspaper offices having
opened lists, and a good sum will prob
ably be in hand in a day or two.
There Is little to add to last night’s dis
patches. The total amount of the losses,
with the insurance, cannot be ascertained
for a day or two. .The first estimate of
$100,000 losses believed to be about cor
rect, and it is said the insurance will nob
exceed one-half this amount. Not a Soul
was seriously injured in the Are as far
as Is known.
The collapse of the Ferry incline on the
Algiers side Hate yesterday afternoon
might hare been a catastrophe had the
river been high. It was crowded with
people from New Orleans, who had been
over to see the Algiers fire. Fortunately
the water was very shallow under the
bridge and no person was drowned. Twot
little girls were missing, but both subse
quently turned up safe and sound. It Is j
reported today that one woman was
drowned, but no one is missing and the
report has not been verified.
One man, as stated In last night's dis
patch, was seriously hurt, but not fatally.
Three persons were painfully bruised and
cut by falling timbers. Probably a dozen
others were jarred and slightly bruised.

WILEY TROTT CAPTURED
After Two Years of Liberty He Is Again in
Custody—Found at the Home of
His Victim.
Wiley Trott, who with John Worthing
ton anil Tap Sprouse, escaped from the
Jefferson county jail November 11, 18911,
has been captured again and is now be
hind the bars, awaiting the calnt delib
erations of the law.
Trott was brought here originally from
Bibb county for safe keeping until a
trial could be given him for the alleged
murder of Sheriff Jones of Louisiana.
The officer was bringing a prisoner front
Louisiana to Bibb county. When he
stepped from the train with his charge
a shot from the crowd dropped the sher
iff to tile ground. Trott, it was alleged,
fired the fatal bullet. He was convicted
and a life sentence passed on him. Pend
ing the appeal he escaped front the Jef
ferson county jail with his fellow prison
ers. Tap Sprouse, one of the prisoners
who escaped with Trott, returned after
wards and surrendered to the authorities.
He was subsequently released.
Trott says that they effected their es
cape by means of a key made from an
impression of the lock and that they had
an outside confederate who had the key
made. He requested that he be not urged
to divulge the name of the person who
aided them.
Trott says that after he escaped he
went to a barber shop, where ho was
shaved and cleaned up, and then took the
train at the depot for his old home in
Bibb county. Ho went to Florida and aft
erwards returned to Birmingham. Dur
ing his stay here he says he met a few
people with whom he was acquainted.
Last December he went to Louisiana,
where lie supported himself by working
in the saw mills. Trott was captured
last Friday In Natchitoches parish. Lou
isiana, by Deputy Marshal Loper. He
was armed at the time with an ugly re
volver. but the shrewd deputy looked
death at him over the rib of a double
barreled shotgun. Mr. TV. S. Jones, a son
of the Louisiana sheriff who was killed,
accompanied Deputy Loper to this city
with his prisoner.
Sheriff Morrow paid Jleputy Marshal
Loper $100, which was the reward lie
offered at the time of the escape for
Trott's capture, and it Is thought that the
deputy will also receive the $200 reward
offered by the state.

WELL BEGUN,
Says the Friends of the New Musical Organi
tion—The Officers Elected.
The promoters of the Birmingham Mu
sic club had a very business like meeting
at Seals’ Music hall last night and laid
out the preliminaries of the work in a
way that affords strong promise of a
brilliant career. Those present felt that
they were very happy in their choice of
executive officers. Following is the list:
President, R. H. Pearson; first vice-pres
ident, Gen. F. S. Ferguson; second vice
president, R. F. Johnston; secretary, R.
F. Manly, treasurer, J. F. Graham; bus
iness manner, C. C. Seals.
It was recognized that an important
point was gained when the announce
ment was made that Miss Belle McCoy
had consented to serve as accompanist.
She was unanimously chosen.
For musical director the choice fell to
Prof. Henri Weber. A strong feeling
pervaded the meeting that Professor
Weber has very uncommon gifts for dl
i recting of chorus of ladies and gentle
men. He brought to Birmingham the
fruits of a very wide experience and
those who have worked under him here
in other musical lines have discovered
in him. in a very high degree, the quali
ties of finished and inspiring leadership.
The sense of the meeting was that he
will make the practice work of the club
really inviting to the members and that
the results will be highly grateful to its
patrons.
Committees were appointed to report
for adoption at the next meeting a board
of control and a constitution and by
laws.
This club seems fortunately consti
tuted in every respect. The promoters
hare planned carefully to avoid all hin
drances. and to bring together such fac
tors of good as would stamp the club a
success at the outset. They ui*e very
confident so far of the wisdom of all their
arrangements. The next meeting of the
club will be held on Monday evening at
the same place.
