♦
Atlanta, Nov. 11.—Hon. Steve Clay
is in the lead.
Hal Lewis withdrew from the sena
torial race tonight.
His votes will be divided between
Clay and Howell.
Howell stands a pretty good chance
for the most of them, but his chances of
success are slim.
Clay’s friends claim that he will win.
But the opposition claims that he will
not have quite enough in caucus to elect
him.
Hon. Fleming G. Dubignon is groom
ing him for the senate with might and
main, and he has-a good deal of influ
ence with the legislature.
It is impossible to tell at this writing
who will be the winner. It may be Clay
or it may be Atkinson and it may be
Howell.
Everything is in a whirl of confusion,
and the strikers are getting in their last
and best licks for their favorites. Little

the vote on the last ballot taken last
night. It stood thus:

DELOME PLEASES DONS
Report That He id to Be Recalled Given No
Credence.
Washington, Nov. 11.— Tho rumor
that Senor Dupuy Delome, the Spanish
minisier, is soon to be recalled and turn
such pction would not boa rebuke 1
given no credence in diplomatic circle;
■ here and probably is untrue.
The minister refrains from a formal
■denial because he cannot anticipate the
future action of his superiors. But his
.friends point to the continuance in
THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
power of the political party to which he
belongs and which appointed him more
than a year ago. His recall would not
be likely except for cause or the defeat
of his party. During his service here
he has been zealous in the interests of
his government, and none of his superi
ors have ever found it necessary to ex
press dissatisfaction.
Senor Delome received a dispatch
from the Duke of Tetuan, Spain’s for
eign minister, advising him that Gen
eral Weyler has taken the field in per
son and will prosecute the war in Cuba
with renewed energy. This communi
cation from his government, with no
intimation of. recall, is held to indicate
that the minister’s services are satisfact
ory.
State department officials say nothing
has been received from Minister Taylor
at Madrid regarding a proposed change
in the Spanish diplomatic representa
tion here and they cannot believe that
the excellent service rendered his gov
ernment by Delome has failed to meet
the approval of his party leaders.
State department officials deny the
story that Ramon Williams, former con
sul general to Havana, has been sent
to Spain as a secret agent of the govern
ment to endeavor to secure the consent
of the Spanish governmet to a project
to sell Cuba to the insurgents, the Uni
ted States to guarantee bonds in pay
ment therefor. Mr. Williams has no
connection with the state department,
either open or secret.

New York, Nov. 11. —A dispatch to
The Herald from Havana says: Gen
eral Arelas arrived at Mariel, accom
panied by his staff, his adjutants and a
large escort. With the general arrived

General Gas-o also arrived from Guan

Colonel Ordenez with other officers of
the military line.
The transport Legazpi entered the
harbor and anchored a short distance
from the wharf. General Arelas imme
diately went aboard with his adjutant,
Lieutenant Colonel Pierrie, and the
mayor of the town, Senor Lavistan. At
7 o’clock to the minute the gunboat was
moored to the wharf and the general
in-.chief jumped ashore with General
Aguilar, .Lieutenant Colonels Escribano
and Saramendi, Colonel Escarie, Gen
eral Martinez and several adjutants.
Without delay General Weyler with
his staff, crossed the town of Mariel, all
the forces being in correct formation,
the line extending about a kilometre on
the highway. The general was on foot,
and reviewed the troops there. Arriving
at the end of the line, he stopped to sa
lute the veteran officer, Colonel Echev
arria. The town of Mariel showed its
joy by displaying flags and bunting in
all the houses. The bugle also sounded
the royal march, the bells were rung
and there was loud cheering during
General Weyler’s progress and up to
his immediate departure.
Charles Leavitt, an American, seized
on the Competitor, was taken to the
prison hospital suffering from yellow
fever.
. Melton, another of the Competitor’s
crew, is ill. His case has not yet been
diagnosed.
Luis Lay, an American, was arrested
at Regia, across the bay from Havana.
Police raided El Liceo, a social club, and
allege that they found cartridges and
compromising papers. All were ar
rested. Consul Springer is examining
the case and has sent telegrams to
Mariel.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.—The wealth
and fashion of Philadelphia were
crowded into St. Luke’s church to wit
ness the wedding of Miss Ellen Nixon
Harrison, daughter of Mr. Charles O.
Harrison and Mr. Campbell Emory Mc-
Michael.
Miss Harrison is one of the most pop
ular girls in Philadelphia’s exclusive
set. For several years she has been a
leader in the younger circle and many
lavish entertainments have been given
in her honor. Mr. McMichael is the
son of Colonel Clayton McMichael and
is associated with his father and brother
in the conduct of The North American.
He is a member of the Rittenhouse
club, Philadelphia Barge club and Phil

of eastern Pennsylvania, Rev. Leverett
Bradley, rector of St. Luke’s church,
and Rev. George Kellar, rector of the
old St. David’s church, at Pidnor,
where the bride’s family are summer

was very jolly and was enlivened with
songs.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael left on an early
afternoon train for New York, whence
they will go to the Berkshire hills for a

Archbishop Ireftind Not Alarmed,
St. Paul, Nov. 11. —When Archbishor-
Ireland's attention was call to the pub
lished rumor that his recent utterances
were disapproved at Rome and that he
would be removed from the see of St.
Paul, he refused to recognize the rumor
by making a statement,in regard to it,
laughing away the whole matter as un
worthy of notice. From those near the
| archbishop, however, the brief state
ment that the rumor was an absurdity
| and unworthy of any credence, or no-
I tice, was secured. They were unable to
! say or imagine from what the rumor
! grew, and beyond declaring it an ab
-1 surdity would say nothing.

CALL IT A BACK DOWN
London Papers Say Britain Has Shown
the White Feather-
PREMIER SALISBURY WEAKENED
Wnat the Westminster Gazette
Says on the Subject
LOOKS TO AMERICA TO GO BAIL
/
Declared He Would Never Submit the
Venezuelan Dispute to a Court of Ar
bitration, but Changed His Mind When
He Realized That Your Uncle Samuel
Meant Business.
London, Nov. 11.—The Westminster
Gazette, referring to the practical set
tlement of the Venezuelan question by
submitting it to a court of arbitration,
says:
“The locus standi of the United States,
which the Marquis of Salisbury at first
denied, is now undisputed and is ac
eepted, even to the length of ruling out
Venezuela. We would much rather set
tle with the United States, but we nat
urally look to the United States to go
bail for Venezuela in return. This as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine, the most
satisfactory point of all, is appended—
a general arbitration agreement.”
The St. James Gazette asks whether
the agreement will not throw into arbi
tration “all the sparsely settled region
between the Schomburgk line and the
settled territory of Guinea, which Lord
Kimberly and the Marquis of Salisbury
declared they would never submit to ar
bitration, whereupon President Cleve
land and Secretary Olney declared they
should or the United States would make
them.”
It adds: ‘‘lf Great Britain does sub
mit this question to arbitration, it is
difficult to disprove the American claim
that the agreement is a square back
dowu on the part of Great Britain.
That the arrangement includes a gen
eral treaty of arbitration is an indis
putable benefit and the decision of the
committee not to report leaves Presi
dent Cleveland’s government in a most
serious difficulty of its own creation.”
The Pall Mall Gazette thinks “their
after disputes are less likely to occur,
now that the principle of dealing di
rectly with the little republics is set
aside in favor of negotiations with their
powerful protector.”
The Globe welcomes the agreement,
“because it releases the American gov
ernment from a false and dangerous po
sition.” Qontinuing, The Globe s iys:
“Had the commission reported ad
versely to Great Britain it would have
forced Presid/nt C eveland to attempt
the coercion of Great Britain or eat the
humblest of humble pies. No one in
this count:y wishes to see the develop
ment of the United States retarded for
a half a century, as it would necessarily
have done if the government at Wash
ington had seen fit to enter, on so tri
vial a pretext, upon so unequal a con
test. The decision of the commission to
withhold its report is an obvious but
effective way out of an awkward situa
tion.”
KING OSCAR IS SELECTED.
Sweden’s Ruler. Agreed on as Final Arbi
trator In the Venezuelan Dispute.
Washington, Nov. 11. —King Oscar
II of Sweden and Norway has been
agreed on as the fifth and final arbitra
tor in the Venezuelan controversy. The
other four arbitrators are to be named
by the judicial authorities of the two
countries, two by the lord chief justice
of England and two by the chief justice
of the United States.
The additional information can be
given that the agreement is that King
Oscar II will be the fifth or final arbi
trator, with the understanding that if
his royal functions are such as to make
it undesirable to sit with the arbitrators
he will designate another, probably his
chief justice, to participate in the formal
meetings. At the same time it is the
king whom both governments will re
gard as final arbitrator.
The personnel of the judicial mem
bers of the commision has not been de
termined, and no names have yet been
mentioned except that the solicitor gen
erat of England may be one of those
designated. This, however, will be a
matter of subsequent adjustment, as the
exact names do not appear in the draft
of the treaty.
WANT TO HEAR HARRISON.
Farmers Invite the Ex-President to Ad
dress Them—Second Day*. Work.
Indianapolis, Nov. It.—The farmers’
national congress at its second day’s ses
sion, by resolution, requested ex-Presi
dent Harrison to address the body.
The president of the congress, refer
ring to a bill pending in the United
States senate providing for an industrial
commission, said that action should be
taken by the farmers’ convention look
ing to the appointment of one or per
haps two of the five members of the
commission from the membership of
this congress.
The session was largely devoted to
resolutions and they were referred to
the committee on resolutions as follows:
Requesting the congress of the United
States to appoint a corps of civil engi
neers to examine and report as to the
practicability of constructing a ship ca
nal connecting the Atlantic with the
great lakes byway of rivers and Gulf
of Mexico; that it is the sense of this
congress that women should be given
■ '"■e right or sunrage; that the congress
of the United States shall take the in
itiative measures to restrict undesirable
I immigration, discountenance class legis
tion and discourage sectionalism.
W. H. Hoffman of Illinois introduced
a resolution to the effect that inasmuch
as the supreme court of the United
States had decided that the tax on in
comes is constitutional, and, whereas,
the farmer’s income includes all pro
ducts of the farm, all farm products
I should be exempt from assessment or
taxation.
The committee on locating the next
meeting of the congress reported in
favor of St. Paul, Minn., and suggested
that it be held at least two months ear
lier in the year than the present congress.
TO MANUFACTURE BRICK.
A Great Plant Will Soon Be Established
Near the City of San Francisco.
San Francisco, Nov. 11.-—A great
brick plant is to be established in prox
imity to San Francisco, which will add
materially to this city’s manufacturing
interests and, through new methods,
may lead to a revolution in that im
portant industry. An organization has
been incorporated under the name of
the California Stone Brick company,
which proposes to expend $50,600 for the
purpose of a site and erect buildings for
the manufacture of bricks from sand,
no other ingredient entering into the
composition than that contained in sand
or earth. Plans for the kiln have been
drawn and search is now being made
for a proper site.
The process to be employed is that of
Prof. E. 0. Brice of Washington. The
stone brick which it is proposed to make
here is manufactured from the pow
dered stone or the elements contained
in stone, such as sand, clay, etc. These
substances are mixed with a prepared
“flux” which acts as a bond, holding
together the particles of sand or other
material used as a filler, the whole being
thoroughly annealed by the heating.
Among the advantages claimed for
the Brice brick is the saving of time,
only ten hours being needed for their
manufacture instead of 18 to 30 days, a
much less consumption of fuel, scarcely
any loss from injury, a crushing strength
of from 10,000 to 45,000 pounds to the
square inch, instead of from 400 to 4,000
pounds, a reduction of cost to three
fifths of that of the old style bricks.
Professor Brice has visited this coast
several times within a few months and
is expected soon to return, when final
steps will be taken for the building of
the plant.
BRYAN IS HIMSELF AGAIN.
Lines of Care, Which Appeared In His
Face During Campaign, Almost Gone.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 11. —William J.
Bryan has already begun to formulate
his program for conducting the Demo
cratic campaign during the next four
years. Instead of requiring a fortnight
to recuperate from the effects of the
physical and nervous strain he has un
dergone for the past four months, four
days seem to have answered the pur
pose, and he now appears as strong and
hearty as he did last July. Relief from
the worry of the campaign and the re
sumption of his ordinary life have al
ready almost entirely removed the lines
of care shown in his face when he re
turned a week ago.
Telegrqms continue to come from ajl
parts of the country, but they are grad
ally giving way to longer messages of
encouragement and suggestions for the
continuance of the fight. These he has
been endeavoring to answer. He has
also been besieged with applications for
aid in securing appointive positions un
der the new state officers, who will take
office in January, but he has given no
tice that he will take no part in the dis
tribution of state patronage.
Threatened Uprising In Honduras,
New York, Nov, 11.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Panama, Colombia,
says: A correspondent in Tegucigalpa,
Honduras, telegraphs that a report is
current to the effect that revolutionary
plans are on foot in the republic. The
government has information that the
conspirators had planned to make simul
taneous attacks on the barracks in
Dauli, Oomayagua, Santa Barbara and
Tegucigalpa. The government has
made several arrests and believes it will
be able to crush ail the attempts made
to overthrow the administration.
Rejects a Proposal to Partition China.
London, Nov. 11.—In the course of a
speech at Enfield, Sir Charles Dilke, the
well known authority on international
politics, said that England had recently
rejected a prpposal by the three great
powers to partition China. He also
said that the alleged recent inspection,
of the forts of the Dardanelles by a
Russian general was by order of the
Russian government and that therefore
it was probable that Russia would re
gard a British attack on the Dardanelles
as a casus belli.
Interesting; Case Brought to an End.

Atlanta, Nov. 11.—William Waters,
r a butcher, living with his wife and fam
« ily at 66 Leonard street, was found dead
' in a running brooklet near Poole’s pond,
• a mile and a half east of the old water
i works reservoir, at nine o’clock this
’ morning with a ghastly gun shot wound
in the back of his head.
He left his home yesterday morning
t between 6 and 7 o’clock, the family say.
j with a negro named George Perdue, for
: the purpose of hunting in the region
about where the body was found.
They were much distressed that he
did not return home last night, and this
morning learned that he had been found
dead, and with all the evidences of hav
ing suffered death at the hands of a mur
> derer.
At 3 o’clock George Perdue, thene.
’ gro suspected of the crime, was ar
■ rested at the corner of Peters and
‘ Walker streets, in the immediate
neighborhood of the home of the dead
man.
The discovery of the body was made
■ early this morning, aud wag reported
to the county police.
. The body was found in the branch
which takes off the surplus water
from the waterworks pond, and at a
. distance of quite a mile and a half
from the big dam, which banks up the
' water at the eastern end. The corpse
i lay on its back in the running stream,
i with the coat pulled up over the face,
i concealing the white features of death
■ from the first discover. In the back
of the head was a large and ghastly
i wound at the top and back of tho
cranium.
A farmer living in the vicinity in
crossing the little stream made the
ghastly discovery and at once telephoned
the county police.
i A cartridge belt was found about 25
feet from the body. A powder flask,
which the dead man had carried, was
also found with the screw stopper gone.
i The most positive evidence of foul
play lies in the fact that Waters’ gun
was not found, and has not yet besn dis
covered in the vicinity of the body.

Young; Henry White Is Indicted.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 11.—The Mus

bill against young Henry White, charg
ing him with murder. Only a few wit
nesses were examined. White’s trial
will begin next Monday, that day hav

will doubtless be crowded during its
progress, as the entire community is
deeply interested in the outcome of the
case. The murder of the policemen, in
which young White took part, assisting
his father, was one of the most horrible
tragedies ever enacted in Georgia.
