resolutions
The tpeaker held In his hand a copy of
a New York paper contalntng the tevt
of tho resolutions adopted by the Tam-
many Hall committee on organization at
their meeting Thursday night
The substance of the resolutions was
that tho popular doubt nnd uncertainty
ns to the outcome of pending tariff legis-
lation should not be permitted further to
harass buMness enturcs to tho great
Injury and suffering of both employer
and worklngman and that Tammany Hall
therefore urgen the speedy passage of the
proposed tariff law
The democratic majority of the house
continued Mr Crisp will use every
effort to send the bill to the senate by
the lnit of Januaiy That will leave

MILLS NOT AFHA1D
Washington Dcccmeber St iSpeclnl to
Atlanta ConstltutonSenator Mills of
Texas wns n Veiy mad man this morning
He was mad becausl tho fact that a per-
mit hail been Issue his roil to carry a
pistol In order to protect him had been
printed In the newspapers Senator Mills
wns liken Ise Very much emlmraseil lie
did not like the ImpresMon to get out hat
lie was afraid of being assassinated or
nfiald uT nny man In eonsenuencp when
tho senator Hto e this morning lie do-
te mined to lmrade down the nvcnuo alone
In order that all the world could tec
him Wlyther tho senator bore n six
shooter or not none perhap except him-
self knows but ntryhow between HI nnd 11
oclock this morning he walked from the
trensuiy building dawn to the eapltol
nlano nnd manages to stop many times
to gn c Into shop windows The senator
wote an u Unary hort overcoat but-
toned to the neck itnd his usual broad
brimmed slouch hut I He neither neeme < l
nervous nor nfiald lie Is amply able to
protect himself HiidI perhaps went out
this morning prcparefl to do so Charley
Mills his son was Tory much annoyed
too Ho didnt like tfie publication ot his
icqucst for a permit to carry a pistol
nnd he went iirouud to Judge Miller of the
police court this morning and asked that
the bond be cancelled
The unpleasant notoriety given through
the newspapers said he as he returned
his request for the permit and asked
that It be cancelled has utterly defeated
the purpose In lew nnd made matters
cry unpleasant for the family The pub-
lication ot the fact that tho penult was
Issued he added has given everybody
notice that I have 1uu given a permit to-
go armed to kill for thirty days nnd has
made it oxccenlnglynmpleasnnt for me
Now that It Is generally Known that t am
permitted to go urmed the consummation
of nnvihlng that I might desire to do Is
prevented and I therefore wish to sur-
render tho permit
The permit wns cancelled The crank
who gives notice that he Intends to kill
somebody Is usually a coward and never
Intends nny such thing The pollco nnd
detectives of Washington are on the look-
out for cranks and there seems now no
probability ot anyfatalities In Washing-
ton
