NEW YORK, Sept, 7.-The World will say to-morrow in connection with the Drayton divorce case: There are several points to Mrs. Drayton's story, and every point has the interest of being new and now made for the first time. To begin: Mrs. Drayton not only does not regTet the bringing of the divorce, suit by tier husband, but received the news of it gladly, and arranged that the. j vipers might be served on her expeditiously. Mrs. Drayton not only will contest the suit, but will fight it to the bitter end. Mrs. Drayton will answer Mr. Drayton's petition for divorce with a cross-petition, alleging unfaithfulness on hb part and pros violation of his marriage vows. the will enter a general and specific denial of all his charges against her, and will bring what her friends regard as proof positive that she has been maligned. She precipitated the divorce proceedings by dcllberattly bringing a suit for the custody of her children. All these acts are true beyond preadventure. her friends say, and when they are confirmed by th2 riling of her cross-petition and by the testimony at the trial the confirmation will be so sensational that the statement of the bare facts will seem very tame. Hal'elt Alsop Ilorrowe, the corespondent In ths case, was wen In hii office at the carhouse of the New York division of the New Jersey Traction Company, of which he Is superintendent. lie said: "The entree made In Mr. Drayton's petlt!4n are faUe, absolutely false.

THEY WERE BUNCOED DEMOCRA'1'S DID XOT KKEP PR03IISES TO SIGAH n.ANTEIlS. Conjrreaftmnn 3Ieyer Tnlka About the Proposed Co-Operatlon with Republican and It I'osnlble Result. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Adolph Meyer. Congressman from the First Louisiana .district, to-day talked to an Associated Press reporter of the movement toward the Hepublican party as shown by the development yesterday at the meeting of sugar planter?. He said: "It may mean that a Republican delega tlon will be sent to the next Congrets from Louisiana, and that Republican presidential electors may be chosen two years from now. mis movement is no more than might have been expected. The Democrat ic Congress has dealt shamefully with the great Interests of Louisiana, after repeatedly promising to sustain it. The party has received strong and consistent support from the State for many years, and rhe first time it secures complete control of the government proceeds to inflict upon Louisiana tne hardest blow she nas ever been given by ktrislation We have not only been dealt unfairly with. but have been deceived In a word, buncoea. ve were promiseu dqck in the presidential campaign that the sugar industry should not be crippled by change in the tar iff. Then when tne tariff bill was to be amended in the Senate there was a definite Dromise to our Senators that the bountv should be continued for this year. The croi3 of this year were started on that ur.uersrtandlnf? Investments have been made on tnat basla: yet the party to which the State has given its undivided support enacts a bill that will drive many of its prosperous business men to bankruptcy. "The Republican party, on the other hand, has enacted legislation under which the sugar industry has prospered. The Republicans in this Congress have voted for the sugar bounty on all occasions, and, I think, have done so consistently. So have the Louisiana Democrats, for that matter. Now, Congress holds a further menace over our heads in the form of a threat to put sugar on the free list at the next session.

No other industry has been treated In this wav. . "How far is the new organization expected to go'.-

for Confess tMa fall. Tne gentlemen who nave siariN mis muvrwciu uuiy buctv co-operation with the Itepublicans on national issues, and do not propose a State ticket or local ticket." When asked to state his personal opinion. h aid: "I would not advxse our people to po Into the Republican party. They would do better to make nomim.tions for Congress on the Democratic ticket, with the undemanding that their representatives phoull act independently wherever they can serve the best interests of their State by doing so." DISTILLERS WILL FIGHT. They Do Not Want to Pay Over 90 Cents Tax on Whisky in Bond. CHICAGO. Sept. 7.-J. B. Greenhut, president of the "Whisky Trust, arrived in this city t this evenic?, and left for his home in Peoria, 111., on the night train. He professed surprise when shown a telegram from New York that trading In trust stock was heavy on the strength of a rumor that the trust was about to appoint a receiver. "That is certainly news to me," he said, "but almost any rumor la likely to occur in the New York market. Two weeks ago a similar report was published and Was calculated to hurt our efforts to borrow money to lift our spirits in bond. There Is not a bit of truth in the report." Concerning the intention of the trust to test its liability to pay the 20 cents in crease on spirits in bond, Mr. Greenhut said: "We are only a small factor in the aggregate Interested in bonded liquor. We hold but five million gallons of the total of 100,000.000 gallons. We will pay the tax under protest and will combine with the regular whisky distillers in testing the law. Ve hold that having given bond to pay 90 cents tax on spirits in bonded warehouse that no increase of tax can affect that under the period for which we gave bond." PROFESSORS OF DAKCING. They Choose Oflicers and Adopt a Num ber of New Dances. NEW YORK. Sept. 7.

Pittsburg, Pa.: "The Curranle " by Oscar Duenweg, Terre Haute, Ind. Another dance adopted was "Der Kaiser Gavotte." This dance is the royal dance of Kaiser William. Among other things the convention did was to taboo the two-step as a round dance. SUIT FOR SG20,000. Mine Owners Claim to Have Been De frauded in a Consolidation Deal. DULUTH, Minn., Sept. 7. William and John McKinley, of this city, and Jame Charnley, of Chicago, have sued the La.ve Superior Consolidated iron mines for $620,000. They charge that fraud and misrepre sentations were used to induce them to sfell the McKinley mine to the Consolidated company. In order to Induce plaintiffs to go into the consolidation, the papers in the suit say.. the Bpckefeller peoply promised that all mines should go in on one basis, according to the amount of ore in sight, and that at the very time of negotiations the Rockefeller combination was scheming to take on a lot of other mines, including some in Cuba, on a different basis. As a result, the plaintiff parted with $800,000 of property for stock in the Consolidated not worth over $120,000. They, therefore, ask for the difference. MELON PATCH TRAGEDY. A Farmer Poisons His Son and Two Others and Is Shot Dead. MAGNOLIA, Ark., Sept. 7. A sensational tragedy occurred, near Dykesville, La., a small town just across the Arkansas State line to-day. Clinton Thompson, a farmer, had a fine melon crop which afforded a feast to the boys in the neighborhood. The raids of the boys became so frequent that the old man decided to put a stop to the depredations. He put poison In some of the tinest melons and awaited the results. This morning his son Felix, George Bridges, a neighbor's son. and a man named Jacob Muir were found dead in the patch. The neighbor Avhose son was amon? the victims was the tirst to discover the dead bodies and; called Thompson out to show hfm the corpses. When Bridges learned that Thompson had poisoned the melons and caused the death of his son he drew a revolver and shot him dead. The murderer escaped. WKA1HKR FORECAST.

TWO GEORGIANS TALK

Speaker Crisp Eecounts the Worl; of the Late Congress, And Informs His Hearers that He Is Still in Lino with Hland for Unlimited Free Coinage. HOKE SMITH ON SILVER He Warns His Fellow-Democrats to He ware of Topuiists, And Attempts to Show that the Business Depression Was Due to Fear that Silver Would Be Coined Free, ATLANTA, Ga., Sent. 7. A mass meeting of Democrats was held in this city this evening. The principal feature was the speeches of Speaker Crisp, reviewing the work of Congress, and of Secretary Hoke Smith against the free coinage of silver. Speaker Crisp declared his. personal preference for the ffee coinage of silver. Much enthusiasm was displayed. Speaker Crisp spoke as follows: "When the Fifty-third Congress met hi August, of last year, it was confronted with difficulties which seemed almost insurmountable. Trade was paralyzed, manufacturing had almost ceased, labor was idle, our banklns institutions were falling and confidence, the life and soul of commerce, was utterly destroyed. In so far as this deplorable condition was attributabel to legislation the Republican party was responsible. For more than thirty years that party had made our financial and economic laws. .Until the meeting of the Fifty-third Cahgress the Democracy was without power. The condition which confronted us. while not wholly, was very largely due to evil legislation. In 1S75, the free coinage of silver had been discontinued and. gold became the standard of value. In 187b partial coinage was resumed. In 1S90 this law was repealed and soon thereafter coinage of. silver practically! ceased. These acts of the Republican party resulted in so lessening the volume of money of final redemption a3 to decrease. the price of all commodities, increase the burden of all debtors and impair the confidence of the people in the power of the government and of banking institutions to redeem their outstanding obligations. A law and practice which allows a citizen to pay his obligations to the government In silver and at the same time permits him to demand gold in redemption of Its obllgatfon is manifestly unreasonable and unjust and, in tne nature of the -case, must impair confidence and tend to produce panic. . , "For thirty years the Republicans tiad been building up tariff wall? around the country and, in 1SK), . passed what they termed a perfect protective tariff law. A protective tariff restricts trade and commerce, it limits the marji.t in which we must buy and depressed the market In which we must sell. It is a tax upon a foreign product which tbe consumer must pay. lly taxing his foreign competitor, you enable the domestic manufacturer to increase the price of his wares to the extent of the tax and this, too, the consumer here must pay. When you buy foreign goods and pay the duty, it goes into the treasury and is called a 'tax;' when you buy the domestio .product a-nd Spay the Increased price, it goes into the pocket of the American manufacturer and is called 'protection.' The location of the manufactory determines the name, but the rate of the duty determines the price. Under such a tariff you must buy in a market where competition is destroyed and where scarcity is created by law. You must sell' trt prices fixed in a market where free trade and the law of supply and demand prevails. Trade and commerce is the exchange of commodities. FALLACIOUS REASONING. "A protective tariff prevents us from exchanging our surplus of cotton, corn, wheat, meat and other farm products for the surplus of manufactured goods abroad. We freely export jour product, but that for which we exchange it It so heavily taxed as to make exchange unprofitable. Commerce ceases when gain is gone; one cannot buy unless he can sell, nor can he sell unless he can buy. Commerce and agriculture go hand in hand; when one ceases the other languishes. The laws destroy the one, make yie other unprofitable. Taxed crude materials injure and depress manufacturing. It wants the markets of the world, but under the protective tariff has not been able to enter them. A protective, tariff fosters and builds up trusts &.nd monopolies. It creates, no wealth; it ordy prevents its natural and just distribution. Thirty years of such a system did much to produce the conditions existing: when the F"if ty-third Congress met. "What has that Democratic Congress so far done for the people? The first matter considered was the financial question. What should or could be done on the silver question. We had pledged ourselves against the makeshift Sherman law and in fivor of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country. Hy an agreement arrived at between Democrats, we determined to take the sense , of the House on the free and unlimited coinage of silver at several ratios. After full debate a separate vote was had on each and on the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The result you know. While not professing to understand the question fully in all its bearings, I have always been in favor of the free coinage of silver I am in favor of it now. I believe the fears of our friends who oppose it are largely imaginary, and I believe the enactment of such a law would afford -great relief to the people of the country. So feeling, I need not say that to me the result of the vote on free coinage of silver was a great disappointment. This question is not settled. THE TARIFF STRUGGLE. "With our great struggle for tariff reform you are familiar. Thirty years of class legislation has built up in this country large trusts, large monopolies and large combinations of capital. All these interests -were arrayed against us, and, in the bitter contest through which we passed, were earnestly and actively aided by a compact Republican minority. All that wealth, all that energy and all that great Intelligence and capacity could do was daily and hourly done to defeat the cause of the people. Under these conditions our progress was slow. The House framed and passed a tariff bill. This went to the Senate. After a long and tedious struggle the Senate passed this bill with amendments. Finally the question was presented in such fashion that we must either accept the same amendments or have no bill, thus permitting the odious McKinley law to remain upon the statute books. When we were convinced such was the true situation we did not hesitate a moment: we accepted the Senate amendments, and so the bill became a law. "This bill is not all we hoped for. It contains provisions we deplore provisions which the House, by separate bill, immediately repealed and yet, taken as a whole, it goes further in the direction of relief to a tax-ridden people than any bill that has been considered in any Congress since the war. Its reduction of rates is greater than those proposed in either the Morrison bill or In the Mills bill. It .places wool, coo per, tin. lumber, salt, blading twine, bags and bagging, agricultural implements and many other article?, on the free list. In nearly every sched.ile there are large reductions. In the iron, steel and woolen schedules there are many reductions exeeedlm; 73 per cent. On the basis of the importation of iyj-'-:u. on wooi?n manu faetures alone there is a reduction to t'.ie mnsumer of more than Jli3,0f0,uw. On cot fnn rm felts, on common velvets, and on v,tir..ir,xls of other articles the reduction i creater than i per cent. The bill places a tax on sugar, a i.trge majority or me Democrats in the House onoosd this, ana a the bill pastel the House sugir in all its forms Is on the free 'ist. Th cine grower got no aid from the government: the SuR.tr Trust got no aid from t'ae Kovernv m"Flhave thu outlined merely the prov''ons of th's cre.rt reform incisure. It strikes at the trusts and monopolies. It reduces the cost of necessaries of life. - It to some extent oxens our markets at home and enlarges our markets abroad. It

promotes agriculture. It encourages manufacturing and It will add to the comfort of millions of our fellow-citizens. ' "We voted upon a proposition to r?poru the tax upon the circulation of State bank currency. I believe that our people would derive more Immediate benefit from the repeal of that law than - from almdst any other legislation that could be hail. Against us on the question were found many Democrats, all the Republicans and all the Populists. A majority thus constituted defeated our efforts and the repeal bill failed. This quesMon is not settled. OPENED THE WAY TO FRAUD. "We have repealed all federal election laws. Laws which permitted the interference of outsiders with our domestic affairs, and which were used only to defeat the will of the people. Henceforth. Georgia, as well as every other State, will manage elections in accordance with their own laws, and elections will be free and fair. "We have passed a law which subjects to taxation by the States more than $500,000,000 which, under Republican laws, was exempt from taxation, thus relieving, to some extent, the burdens of the taxpayer. We have reduced public expenditures som( $W.O00.000 for the current year. "With this record who can asall us? Our ancient adversary the Republican partythough not strong in this Mate, is the enemy we must meet. When Democracy suffers defeat Republicanism will be triumphant. Here at home we are challenged by the People's party. This organization has candidates, and it hes a platform of principles. Of Us candidates I shall say not ling. They are presumed to be as good. I hope they are better, than their platform. That platform contains some planks which are new and some which are old. Those which are valuable are not new, and those which ale new are not valuih. Our Populist friends want to buy the railroads, the telegraph lines and the telefrhones. The tnousands of millions of dolars necessary to do this does not stagger them. The great army of olP.ce holders necessary to manage and prottvt these enterprises does not embarrass them. Our Populist leaders deal with millions as ordinary people deal with dollar, and as for offices they all want them. While wa have-

not done all we hoped to do we have done more In the past year to redress the wroncs of the people; tve have done more for their relief than was ever done by any party in the same length of time in any country under the sun. These are bold words, yet I hold myself at all tlm:s ready to defend them. "Coming into power at a time of p.inle. when business was at a standstill, when labor was unemployed, w'nen our treasury was empty, with courage and fidelity we entered upon a struggle witn the rn tries of the people; we emerged from tnat struggle victorious in this: We have rep '-mod the McKinley law; we have greatly reduccvl taxation-; we have made living cheaprr; we have made all money taxable; we have taxed surplus incomes; w? have rc 'icrel freedom of elections: we have reduced public expenditures, and we have declared undying hostility to all trusts and monopolies organized for the oppression of the people. On these foundations we 'build our house;' on these issues we go before the people. For them we have 'fought the oo 1 flgtit;' to them we have kept the faith, and of them we have no fear." Secretary Smltli'n Speech. Hoke Smith was the next speaker. In opening his remarks the secretary re viewed the financial troubles of the past eighteen months, and congratulated the South, as well as Georgia, upon the excel lent showing made. Therefore, he said. It was of the utmost Importance to the future welfare of the State that in ths coming election the people of Georgia should show the world that the wild theories of the Populists had no foothold amongst them. Calling attention to the recent exp;rienej of the great States of Kansas and Colo rado under Popullstlc rule, the Secretary asked who wished to see Georgli follow the leadership of a Lrwelling or a Waite. Had as was the record of the third party in the West, the crazy theories of their leaders in Congress were enough to stagger comprehension and shock thoughtful mn.

T.:e State would Lc disorganized locally and discredited before the world If It appeared to have cve.i listened to their impracticable theories. Few of their beliefs were worthy of discussion; but there was one thing which seemed to have appeared attractive, although when carefully investigated it must be classified with their other theories as almost equally wild and impracticable. He referred to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United btatts alone, and declared it to be a plan utterly at variance with sound business principles and frought with incalculable evil. He did not with his position misunderstood, lie was a thorough bimetalllst, strong In his faith, and no one could be more unalterably opposed to the adoption of a single go:d standard. Such a course would brln? about a contraction of the currency calculated to cripple industries and to' lessen the d?mand for supplies. Currency in the United Stats had not been contracted, but, on t ie contrary, the per capita to-day was as against an average of $11.85 from 1&3 to 1S60. The Secretary then described the eight dilfsrcnt kinds of money now used in this country, and maintained that the instant any of these went to a premium it would become a commodity for private sale, and contraction would follow, but by preserving them upon an equality and by an increase equal to the growth of business and population contraction would be prevented. TnSs could be accomplished, lirst, by changing the bullion in a silver dollar fo as to inquire a hundred cents' worth of silver in every dollar; second, by international agreement, which, if secured, would prevent the necessity of Clanging tne ratio; or. third, ny calling in all money of small denomination, say iio and less, not consisting of silver, and giving silver the right of way. He especially urged the repeal of the 10 p;r cent, tax on State banks as a remedy witnin control of the United States of great value. FIGURES JUGGLED. The Secretary treated the silver question at length, and then said: "The fear that the government of the United States, would not be able to maintain its various moneys upon a parity, but that we were upon the point of being forced to the silver standard, materially contributed to the panic ol last year. For the condition of the treasury which led. in part, to this fear, the Republican administration was responsible. T.ie whole administration of Mr. Harrison, with the exception-of the first year (which received its Impetus from the excellent financial conditions existing at the close of Mr. Cleveland's term) was one of falling revenues, increasing expenditures and a heavy exportation of gold. The receipts dui'nj the Cleveland administration were $o.C00,000 less than during the Hariison administration, while the tctal expenditures were over t2Sl.CO9.O0O less. Twenty-two million in gold were imported into this country in excess of the amount exported during Mr. Cleveland's term, while Mr. Harrison retired from office with a net gold balance against us of nearly llM.OijO.OOO. These figures are startling. "The net exports of gold during the last three months of Mr. Harrison's administration amounted to $3.CC3,(X0, while the net exports of gold during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1SU4, amounted to but 14,580,(0. During the Republican administration, expenditures increased at the rate of leo.OOO.OuO a year, while the revenues decreased more than JRCOO.OOO annually. Mr. Cleveland retired leaving a surplus In the treasury of $1'GO,343.(X0. Four years of Republican misrule reduced the surplus to $';2.4.0X), with charges fixed fo: the ensuing year amounting. In round numbers, to jaj.OOOVO in excess of the revenues. The condition of the treasury krown to the financial world occasion?

"McAuihfe said that Ptbs v.i su: we' would win," the witness said, "an I urged us to go out. I replied that if wj cou'.d be arrured that our places would s secure if the strike should be lj.t that thj men would strike. Not many of thorn w nt out. however." A fireman on the St. Paul road testified that he had left his place because of intimidation, and an engineer on the sir. line said he was told that If he Oil t leave his engine he would never get out ci. Chicago alive. William I. Henry, of Kankakee, a switchman in the employ, of the Illinois, In u.ina .& Iowa railroad, was the next witness, ar. l one cf the most Important offered ly tN.s governnjent, because he had personally deceived a telegram ordering him tc call cut the men. Mr. Irwin objected ti the testimony, because it concerned a ro id not included in the injunction, but the CvUirt decided to admit the evidence as poslh'y throwing light on the iT.tntljns of the rcFpor.dcnts. Replying to Mr. Walkrr. ths witness produced several telegrams he r -crlved at Kankakee, signed 1Z. V. I)et-.-All of these he read.

Mr. Walker. asirtant United Siates attornry. always rci lied that he wouid show how Ihe connection came later, and the evidence was promptly admitted by the court, upo-a that assurance.

Jut before the afternoon rosslon adjourned Mr. Krwln arose and t.utst into a hratel denunciation of the methods pursued l)v the government's attorneys.

IMtOTKST AC.A1XST DKISHI!. President Miller, of the C. 21. A St. P. on the A. U. U. Mrlfce. CHICAGO, Sept. 7. The annual report of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, issued this evening shows: Gross earnings, J31.S27.JC0; derating expenses, $30,114,232; net earnings, $11.213,CiS; flyp.i rharires. interest on bonds, etc.. J7,- ! :C,4T0; balances above fixed charges, $3,714,'J. During the year two dividends, aggregating 7 per Cent, were paid on preferred itock, and two. aggregating 4 ier cent., on common stock. The statement shows a decrease of gross earnings, compared with the previous year, of $4,415,477, of $3,8,610 in expenses and $S16.SG7 in net earnings. The decrease In earnings Is due to the general depression of the past year. With reference to the recent great strike. President Miller says: "Only a email part of the employes actually o,uit work, but the consequent Interruption to tratlic involved many more. Those who quit work had no grievance against the company. They engaged In the strike at the bidding of the union, which did not scruple ti involve them in a controversy in which neither they nor the company hail the slightest interest. The management of your company accepts the fact that labor organizations are not to be prevented, and, although their influence has not always beta good. It has not discriminated against thvsj who are members, and has not hesitated to confer with their chosen representative on matters of mutual Interest. The brief career of the A. 1L U., however, has demonstrated that there may be organizations which are administered with so little wisdom and so little regard for public or private rights, and are so reckless of consequences, even to their own members, es to be unworthy of recognition. It Is not to b expected that an organization which ha Involved Its members In a controversy in which they had no interest. In the effort to establish a principle which could not possiblv prevail, and has needlessly cost them places in times when men are more abundant than work, will take deep root or long survive its own folly. Nor would It be prudent for railway companies to pive rer.iznition to an organization wiich has recklessly involved them in the lo-s consequent uion an effort to enforce a demand which was inimical alike to the interests of the companies, the employes anl the r uhiic. The direct interest of the railroad companies in this controversy U of secondary importance to the greater interest of the entire industrial system of the country, which U at stake. The railroad companies are compelled to test the riifht of my organization t ylace restrictions on their power to fulfill the obligations which are by law ircpod uion them.
