queston is being agitated and the southern people are having forced upon them Objectionable federal officeholders it might be well to call attention to the true inwardness of the African slave trade My father Captain John Julius Guthrie then of the United States navy while executive officer of the sloop of war Saratoga on April 21 1861 captured at the month of the Congo river on the west coast of Africa the slave ship Nightingale with 900 slaves on board This slaver was owned manned and equipped in the city of Boston Mass and by reference to dates- it will appear her capture was after the assault upon Fort Sumter and the Baltimore riot consequent upon the passage of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment through the city This was the last slaver captured by an American warship and as my father soon after resigned and entered the Confederate service her captain and owners were never brought to justice All this is a matter of record on file at the navy department in Washington Thus it will be seen the last capture of a Slaver was by a southern officer and the good people of Massachusetts were engaged in this nefarious trade at the beginning of our unhappy war Julius Guthrie

Senator Morgan today secured the first material concession that has been made to him by the senate in connection with the Panama canal treaty with Colombia This consisted of an agreement to attach the Spooner canal act bodily to the treaty This change was made in compliance with a reqnest which was presented by Senator Lodge during the executive session of the senate and after the necessity for it had been discussed by Mr Morgn and also by the members of the senate Senator Daniel expressed the opinion that as the preamble to the treaty calls for the attachment of a copy of the act a that attchment was necessary to pre-sarve the terms of the document intact Senator Morgan contended that without this attachment the treaty was absolutely invalid Senators Teller and Hoar took the opposite view urging that as the act was in existence and of record in the statutes of the United States the physical annexation was sof no consequence whatever Senator Lodge however suggested that no injury could result from the attachment of the act and requested unanimous consent for that purpose There was no objection and Senator wish in this respect was gratified It was specifically stipulated however that this concession did not amount to an amendment of the treaty Soon after the senate met today Mr Cullom chairman of the commttee on foreign relations referred to the action of the committee yesterday in passing a resolution calling on the secretary of state for the copy in Span- ish of the Panama canal treaty have said he I think it proper to present Mr Cullom had overlooked the fact that the senate was in legislative session and was proceeding to discuss the document when Mr Allison moved an executive session During the last session of congress Mr Cullom was very careful to see that the treaty was not discussed except in executive session and he showed signs of embarrassment as he promptly acquiesced in the motion to close the doors which was done eight minutes after convening The other senators enjoyed the joke at the expense of the Illinois senator Senator Morgan consumed the entire time of the remainder of the closed session discussing the canal question from various points of view and going over much ground which he had already covered Most of his speech was written and when Senator Cullom asked asked if the speech he was reading was a new one or an old one he replied with some manifestation of vexation that it was new adding that he did not have to repeat his addresses He discussed particularly the attitude of the isthmian canal commission of which Admiral Walker is the head and criticised to some extent the change of view taken by that commis- sion in its last report He also dwelt upon the variation of the terms of the treaty from of the Spooner law During the pr tress of his address Man Stabbed With Hatpin New York March 6 A wild wail ringing out shrilly from his audiened disconcerted Sothern at the Garden theater tonight and caused a commotion that interfered seriously with the smoothness of the play The man who cried aloud is Philip Levey manager of a leather goods establishment who had been impaled upon a hatpin Directly behind Jlievey sat a young woman who endeavored in the fashion of young women at a play to secure her hat to the seat in front of her with the hatpin Instead she fastened the hat to Levey The long steel pin slipped through the plush chair back and ran an inch or two into the body An altercation ensued which was interrupted by a policeman who removed both parties There was a discussion in the lobby in which the young woman upbraided Levey for causing such a commotion over a trivial matter and bringing humiliation on her Prof Edward Horry Strobel COTTON MILL PETITION Columbia March 10 The cotton mills of the Piedmont section of the state will file a petition with the railroad commissin tomorrow asking for a farther reduction in the rate to cotton mills in the state The petition has been printed in pamphlet form and covers forty-eight pages It asks for a rate of freight for all cotton mills not exceeding 21 cents from any part of the state It is not expected that argument will be made tomorrow though the commission will decide whether the question shall be reopened or not Columbia March Only a day or two ago Governor Heyward accepted invitations to deliver addresses at Clemson
