The Cbactaw Council before adjourning yesterday passed a bill granting general amnesty to all those charged with crime committed on account of political differences during the last two years. Gov. Gardner vetosd It and left matters as they were. One man. Sllon Lewis, is under sentence or death at WMlbaston.

Tbe Federal Government has several times Interfered and prevented the execution of political prisoners, but the Secretary of the Interior has given notice that he will not do so any more. As the execution of Lewis is to come off in a few days and as every l-cal recourse has been exhausted, his friends have determined upon a bold plan to save him at evry hazard. It bas been agreed that an armed force will surprise tbe Wllbas- President. In the conversation which followed he said: THB GORMAW BILL. I fully expected that President Cleveland would hare vetoed the Gorman bill.

I think many others expected the same. Bat you can't tell Just what Mr. Cleveland will do." Regarding the deflection of the Louisiana planters from the Democratic patch Mr. Reed said: "I think the movement down there will crow. Many of those Southern nlanters are natnrallv protectionists and are coming out.

With a fair election and a fair count they should elect two out of the three fVn raiiman What do you think will be the effect of ttim ranaal tUm Fnrnm hill?" ha WAS aSted. "Timnnt familiar with the working of tha Federal election law." he said, "but the time liramlni and la here when we must have fair elections Unfair elections strike at tha root of our domestic government. All frauds In Aleetlona must be StODDOl." How do yon propose to stop It?" wastbe nsit question asked. "The people will stop It. They will stand this unlawful tatnnerlni with the ballot box nnm a cni-tnln nnlnt and than they will rise In their mlcbt and iut a stop to It.

The vital subject before the American people to-day is lair elections. Mr. Reed declined to so Into the dlicusslon of the great questions which he Is making the subjects of bis speeches, saying that In a brief Interview such a thine would ce impos sible. Of the future he said predictions were most aimcuit. HIS PROGRAMME BERK.

In persanal appearance Mr. Reed is all the Thomas cartoonists have pictured him. His face Is round aad full, and his bead is almost as bald as Bob Ingsrsoll's.

His eye twinkles continually and his laugh Is most Infectious. He certainly has the knack of knowing how not to be Interviewed, although his greeting to several newspaper saen, among them a Post-Dispatch reporter, who called upon him shortly after his arrival, was most cordial. This is his first visit to St Louis. "The only metropolitan city In the United States which I have not prevloasly visited." is the way he puts It. He says he has no plans for his Immediate future and does not know whether he shall go test or It.

A HIGHER PB.IC4 JOB C0TT0JT. A Concerted Movement far Protection Amom Boutnem raranera. Atlanta. Ga. Oct.

It Is probably that In the next few weeks there will be organized a concerted movement among tbe farmers of the cotton States to protect themselves from the unprecedentedly low price now paid for cotton. Tha movement started In Georgia by President AVaddel of the State Agricultural Society has been followed by similar action of farmers in two adjoining ritates. and there Is a dlsnnnirinn among the planters of all tbe cotton raising states to do something by which their Interests may De protected. Mr. AVaddel came back from Macon to-day, where he went to organize the movement for Georgia.

He called a meeting to be held there this weekend the object of It was to adopt protective measures. Alter coming together the movement took such shape that it became evident that it would assume such large proportions It was decided to postpone the organization of the movement until next Wednesday. On that day a meeting will be held In Macon and it will be largely attended. Representative farmers of the state will be present and definite measures will be determined upon. Nothing can be predicted concerning the action tbe meeting will take.

Mr. Waddel said that he was pleased to sea that adjoining states were taking similar action, and it had begun to look as If the whole South wouid soon be organized in a movement to protect the cotton product. In- Alabama, Commissioner Hector Lane of the Agricaltural Bureau has called a meeting, and John T. Roddey of South Carolina lias started a movement which he hopes win embrace the entire south. He has named no day for the meeting, but it Is quite probable that the movements now germinating in the different cotton states will grow Into a huge concerted movement which will be a potent Influence In bettering the prospects of cotton.

27. The most serious labor trouble that er occurred in Mexico has been the strike of 'tha girls employed In the two large cigarette factories of this city, the total number of strikers in the two establishments being 1.2O0. The cause of the (strike was the attempted Introduction of a machine for making cigarette that would have thrown a' large number of the girls out of work had it been a successful venture. The wife of President Diaz has written a letter to the proprietors of the two factories begging them to treat tbe striking girls with clemency and kindness. As a result of these letters nearly all of the girls have been taken back to work and the strike Is virtually at an end, being a victory for the girls.

FOR $6,000. A Damaxe Bnlt ot Unusual Importance at Edwardsvflle. Edwarpsville, 111., Oct. 2. A case of considerable Importance, and one of mors than usnal Interest, not only on account of the amount of damage, but In view of the principle Involved, was the suit of Henry Essling against Lorenz Stohr for $3,000, which has Just been tried In the Circuit Court here before Judge Burroughs and a verdict rendered late last night for plaintiff.

The facts as brought out by the evidence are substantially as follows. Many years ago Henry Essling. tden a resident of Alloa. loaned to Lorenz Stohr of enlce $3,500. taking therefor a note due one day after date "without Interest." The men were fast friends gad the matter was allowed to run for spvjje years with no reference to payment.oiK.Vnd no Interest was ever paid.

In course of time Essling, who had removed to St. Louis, placed the note In the.liands of Fred Vollbraeht, present Deputy Sheriff In Alton, for collection. Stohr was notified ana It was shown visited his old friend in regard to the matter, and, though unable Just at that time to cancel the obligation, agreed to make provision In the near future. Meanwhile, Stohr's un derstanding was that be owed no Interest. whtiyit appears, owing to the form of the note, legal Interest might be collected in tbe sUence of an understanding to tne contrary between the principals.

Resslng's desire now was to collect interest. However, the tes timony showed tha as time passed and tbe note was still' unpaid, Vollbraeht was authorized to see Stohr and make the bast terms he could under the circumstances. This he did, arranging for the payment of the principal in Installments and compromising upon $400 interest. These notes have since been paid and the funds deposited in an Alton bank, but plaintiff denied having au thorized the basis on which settlement was made, hence the suit for payment In full with egai interest, ana tne veraict renaerea la favor of the plaintiff.

Keyword McAllister Will Xet Be Inid by Sirs. SIcCall. New York, Oct. 27. Heyward McAllister, the young son of Ward McAllister, will not be sued by Mrs.

Mccall, for damages for breach of promise. Rather than have his private affairs aired In a court, a money settlement has been made and there win he no litigation. Every one connected with the case Is secretive about the matter, for It Is known that one condition attached to ths settlement was that nothing should be said about It. Therefore, although the settlement was reached about a week ago, tha terms cannot be learned, and even the amount paid Is kept secret. Mrs.

Mccall appeared In Newport, R. In June last, and made frequent visits to thnt place until the middle of August. It was then stated that she bad de-clnred that she was the wife of young Mc Allister. She came here a few days afterward and when ssn at liar home she denied that she uaa so represented. she bad bepn younsr guest at Newport, and she said the stories thai she had persecuted him had emanated from a well known society woman who was Jealous ef the attentions shown to ner Dy She refused to say any- nunsraooui ner relations with the young uinu, out a ineaa saia iney had been ac quainted aoout two years, and that he vis ited her twice a day.

His friends knew of tne intimacy, and some of them had visited ner wun nim. la the presence of wit nesses. It was said, bn had asked her to De ms wire, but at first she declined, as she did not consider he could support her, as he was dependent on his father.

In speaking of tbe event Ward McAl lister said that be did not see how any suit niuiu aoiu, as ms sob was aireaay married lie rererred to a secret marriage which caused a sensation at the time. His bride was Miss Chaniplcn of Savannah, a iorg lawyer became enam oreu or tne young woman, and when, in he asked her to marry him, she said she was McAllister's wire.

Investigation proved this to be cor. rect, but the circumstances were such that the lawyer advised another ceremony, so, in this city on Aug. 22. 1SS7, they were married again, but this ceremony was also kept secret for tlve years, when tbe notice was printed in tne ew ion paDers. Few women have had such a career as Mrs.

McCall, who Is still handsome. She has been married twice, sued for divorce once, and Indicted for manslaughter in the fourth degree, charged with killing her husband, George Mccall. After she had made her debut In "Evangeline" she married him, and lived with him In Brooklyn. She longed for tbe society cf her stage friends after a time, and her visits to them caused many quarrels. One day In February, 18S2, her husband was found In his room shot.

His wife was crying over him, and she said he shot himself. He died In a few days, saying she shot him, and had begged him to say It was an accident. She was arrested. Indicted and released on ball, but the indictment was afterward dropped. She then arent abroad, and, returning, went on the stage and was married to Mr.

Frederick Schrlck. with making false representations In an application for a license to marry Annie Levy. Isaac Levy alleged that his daughter was only 14 years old, and he asserted the belief that an older woman had personated Anate la getting the license on Oct. 23 and that someone claiming to be Annie's mother bad given her consent. Mr.

F.step told him to obtain tha names of all tbe parties. Levy said his daughter left home on Oct. 19 ostensibly to go to work as usual for Aiax Chest, a tailor at Eighth and Wash streets, on the following day he received a postal card bearing Annie's signature stating that she would not return home, as Hie had left the city. Mr. Lent teamed that she I been seen with cuLrtcse-nnd sent his brotber, Louis, to Sehrlck's house, 1621 Morgan street.

Louts found Annie in front of the house, but she refused to go with him and produced her marriage certificate. Mr. Levy said he went to tue oIQce of the Marriage Clerk and found that the signature of "Annie Levy" to tha application tor tbe license was not genuine. Schrlck denied that anyone bad personated Annie levy and that she was under ate. Neither Marriage Clerk Theodore Harmon nor Justice Carroll, who married tbe couple on Oct.

24, tould recall the age or appearance of the bride. Neighbors of Pchrlck said his wife is quite diminutive In size, bnt that her face indi cates a woman or 18 or 20 rears. They said schrlck told them lie "was refused a license at Clayton on account of his youthful appearance, not the girls. It was also stated that Schrlck had been going with Annie Levy for about a year aad that he bad acted a manly part in the whole matter, as he bad promised to marry the girl. Besides they said she had not been happy at her father's bouse.

According to this neighborhood gossip the father visited the young couple after their marriage and told them he wouid be pacified if they would be married over by a Jewish rabbi. UNION STATIOJ.

27. Ths methods employed by the Standard Oil Co. to defeat the free petroleum clause ol the Wilson bill providing for free petroleum are exposed In a local paper In a four column article. The Southern PaclSc was one of the agents used and from dispatches which passed between high officials It appears that tha railroad and Lloyd Tevls rendered valuable service. Under the McKlnlay tariff small lmparta tions of petroleum from Russia were made.

and arrangements were completed for extensile importations from Peru when the Wilson bill was presented. This brought a dispatch from H. TUford to S. Miller, manager of the Standard's local business, asking him to have the Southern Pacific people, Lloyd Tevls and D. G.

sco field. Impress upon Senators and Congress men that free petroleum would ruin the American Industry. It was also represented to the Southern Paeinc people if toe Russian ana Peruvian product was permitted to be shipped it would ruin the overland transportation business. Miller wired back that the Southern Pacific had promised to work on the California delegation, and that Tevls had wired Blackburn of Kentucky, with whom he had great Influ ence. He also advised consultation with ex-Senator Falton of California, who was then in Washington.

on Fen. 2 last Tiirord wired again, urging that every effort be made to influence Congressman, and soon afterwards be cam to the eoast. After looking over the field Til-ford wired back that everthing had been done that was possible and that both of the canrornia senators ana an tne congressmen except McGulre and Geary were In favor of a duty. i ne result of all this was that as the bill finally passed petroleum was admitted free, except from countries taxing the American prodact to the amount of 40 per cent. As Peru and Russia are tha only countries that can export petroleum In large ejaantlttes and as both tax the American product, tbe result is that the Standard succeeded in Just doubling tne McKlnley tax.
