There is a great scramble being made
Ixy various (oaipaiiies all over tiie country
■to secure the control of the seal fur lisln
ries in the Behring sea. The government
has'opeued the bids for the control of
these fisheries for the wxi 4 wenty years.
It allows 60.000 seals to be killed annu
ally. .The Alaska .Seal Fit! company has
controlled it for twenty xvunv» past. They
are among the score of bidders this time.
Their profit» for twenty years have been
999 per «nt annually, consequently the

The direct land tax bill, »vilsieh receni
Jy passed the senate, was on Tuesday re
ported favorably to the bon-, by the ju
diciary cumniittec. However., Colonel
Oates, of Alabama, in the name of the
.democrats of the commit tve, i* preparm« 1
a minority report, which will bold that
if the direct tax is refunded, Ü4e cotton
tax should lie likewise refund»*!. The
direct tax carries with it seventeen Bullion
idiars^vliile tfcx' cotton tax carne» sev
enty million dollars. The majority of i he
refund of the direct tax bill, however,
goes north, while, the cotton tax money
goes to the cotton growing states. Tbc
direct fax bill will certainly pass, but i
there seems no ehanee for the cotton tax '
uinêndiacnt going through. Georgia will
get $108,000 from the direct tax bill. It
is the money that she paid to the govern
ment as a tax on lier lands during and
after the war.

DOWNED BY THE ALLIANCE.
SMAl.I. PEALF.llS FORCED TO TUE WAU. UT
CO-OPERATIVE STORES.
A dispatch of Thursday from St. Jo
seph, Alo., says: During the last week
there has been an unusually large mtnibei
of failures of small grocery linns and gen
eral dealers in Kansas; in fact the fail
ures have been so numerous as to at
tract the attention of the jobbing
trade, and an examination lias been
made into the cause of the seeming
epidemic of failures. The work was
placed in the hands of a mercantile agen
cy, and it was found that the Farmers'
Alliance was at the bottom of the trouble.
The alliance lias adopted the co-operative
store plan, and their trade, together j
with that of such outside custom as I
they can influence, is thrown to the al
liancc stores. The result of the estab
lishment of the alliance stores has been
painfully felt by the regular retail traders.
As a consequence many small dealers
have been forced to the wall and com
pelled to make assign ments.

OF HIS CRIME.
Dick Hawes teste 1 tie strength of a
j live-eights sea wired rope at Birmingham.
Ala..Friday at 12 : 5 s o'clock. The hang
ing was the ne t sensational and interest
ing ever known in Alabama, and will
make one of thu most thrilling chapters
in the éliminai history of the state. By
nine o'clock a crowd of a thousand peo
ple had congrcg itc-.J aL>< !» the jari. and
an army of policemen was on duty tc
keep them at a -iff distance. \<
one was allowed to p-iss that lint
of officers except those who Irai liasses.
By 12 the crowd numbered m ar 0.000.
At It o'clock. Deputy l.ockliart en
tered the jail and interrupted the devo
tion d exercises long enough to read the
death warrant. When the deputy in
formed Hawes of tiie object of his mis
sion, lie -aid : "Stand up. Dick." Hawes
arose, and placing his hands behind him.
looked the officer in the face. Then
Uockhart read the death warrant. Haves
aril it through without a tremor oi
• iihoiit moving a muscle. At a quarter
er twelve Ed Griffin went upon th*
illold, and adjusted the rope to the
iron
I pie. (iritiin is tin- man who built tic
j ValTold. Hriffin was a member oï the
jury that convicted Hawes. Griffin is
now one of Sheriff Smith'» deputies, and
'(helped to hang the man. whom lie, as a
juror, said should die. Hawes went
upon tic sealfold, accompanied bv the
sheriff, a deputy, and the two ministers.
He walked w ith a firm step. There was
less trepidation about him than about
any of the one hundred men in the in
closurc, and it was apparent to all. His
nerve was remarkable, and those who saw
him could not keep from admiring it.
THE IMtKI.IMIX X It Y A UK A XU I.M EM s.
As he stepped to the front of the gal
lows, lie moved his head to one side tc
avoid the rope. Then as lie stood at the
front of the gallows, Sheriff Smith,
standing beside him, said : "Dick, have
you anything to say f' Hawes raised lii
riglit hand to his mouth, and gave his
inou-taehea twist. There was not a trein
or in the movement. Never in hi» life
did he twist that beard with a quieter
nerve. Then looking over the crowd
. amly lie said : "I only want to say to
the congregation that 1 have written out
a full statement of this whole thing,
and it is a true one. I don't want
any man in the world to think
that I died with a lie «ui my
lips. That is all I have lo say.'
Hawes walked to the front of the scaf
fold, and Sheriff Smith adjusted the rope.
The prisoner was calm. There wa.snoex
citeincnt about him. A» the sheriff raised
the cap, Ilawe» »aid : "I w an.- you all to
shun whisky and vile women. I wish I
had." The cap was ml jus ted, and
Hawes's vision oi those before him wa
»hut out forever. -Iu»t as the sheriff wa
stepping back to give the *Jgnal to tlie
man in the Iia-»e.raicut to puli the string
liawes called ôia-t : ''doe. Vet me stand
here a minute please." Î3 is voice wa
still and steady., bat it was muffled by
the black cap. The slur iff waited a
minute and tïiçn began, "One—two
three." As the word three was uttered
the string pulied, the trap droppe 1 and
Hawes's body went up an inch or two,and
then settled again at the end ef the rope.
It was 12:58 when the drop fell, and in
fourteen minutes the doctors »aid lie was
dead. The IwwSy was turned over to Mr.
Frank Hiibnru, of Atlanta, and taken
home for burial.
THE WKlTti'EN -TATEMUr.
The written statement Hu wet lias madi
is supposed to be in the hands of (lit
printers. Jt wa- written by Hawes, am!
was given to G-il. Taliaferro, ibis attoi
nev, by whom it was, on Fri
day, surrendered say Hawes's < Lie et ions
to someone to I* printed in book form.
The proceeds of the sales are to g-u to his
boy. It consists of forty pages of hi»
life, and sixteen pages of the icrime.
Colonel Taliaferro Lm: read it, aivi says
that it is the same st.wrv he told <*,i the
stand on February 18th last, tin- only, dif
ference iicing ift reference to May. Of
her he says he brought her to town mid'
turned her over to the party named in : he
statement, and that that party carried foer
to the lake and put ic r ««it of the way.
The statement asserts that ah' were put u
death by drowning.
