Miami, Fla., March 23.—Lieutenant Commander (M:irix, of the court of inqui ry, with his party, arrived this morning from Key West. Later they left by the East Coast Rail way 'for Washington. M.irix is very reticent, but when your corre>s|H>n<lent said, “Jt looks like war,” he replied. “It surely does.” Others in the party answering the same question were emphatic, one saying, “I cannot see how it can be averted.” Another said, “There will be no war.” When asked when the report will be made he replied, “As soon as we reach Washington. There will ire no delay.” There is a strong impression here that the board's report will be against the ac cident theory. WILL WITHDRAW. Officers of the Navy Will be Called Back From Havana. Washington, Marell 23- The navy de partment has arranged for the practical withdrawal of all naval officers at Havana and the abandonment of the wreck of the ill-fated Maine. Captain Sigsbee and the other officers who have been in Havana will return soon. Secretary Long said this morning that tie saw no reason for the officers to remain in Havana much longer and the probability was tiny would lie ordered home in a day or two. Sigsbee, it is said, would come to Wash ington as soon as convenient but as yet nothing has been settled with regard to future duty. It might be necessary for Commander Wainwright, who is in charge of the wrecked vessel, to remain there a short time longer, or at least until it is finally settled that the wreck cannot be raised and that there is no prospect of the recovery of any other portion of the ship. Although not finally settled, it is more than probable that the Fern also will re turn to the United States as soon as it is determined that nothing more is to be gained by her presence there. In the event of abandonment of the wreck it is likely the navy department will arrange for its complete destruction by the use dynamite or torpedoes. MONITOR TERROR.

Jim Baker is Training Some Rockellers Up at His House. ffl DODGE THE SHOT, Latest and Best Trap Has Been Pur chased—lt Turns Them Loose by the Bushel. The local gun men are making big pre parations for the coming of the visitors who will take part in the big interstate shoot which will commenice here on the 13th instant and will last for three days. This is by far the biggest shoot that has ever been held in the city, and one of the best that has been offered in the South. The program which has been prepared for the occasion is a little booklet beauti fully printed and prepared. It is being distributed ’all over the country, and Mr. Cater Etheridge, the secretary of the local association, is receiving application from points at a great distance. This morning he got a call from the secretary of the gun club at Milwaukee, Winconsin. Among other things the program con tains is a description of Macon and her ad vantages. The program contains the fol lowing special announcement which will be of interest to those who intend to take part in the shoot:: At a meeting of the interestate associa tion, held at Madison Garden, January 17, 1897, the following resolution was intro duced: "That ail paid representatives, whether t s’"”lis. guns iron' y of orb. rwise. and all those conected in anyway with companies manufacturing guns, shot, shills, powder, targets and traps shall be barred from participating in sweepstakes and purses, but will be perfectly welcome to shoot for targets only and display their goods. The decision as to who such paid men are is to be left at all times to the manager, ’whose decision shall be final.” Resolved, “That the foregoing does not apply in any -way to the Grand American Handicap tou rn amen t. ” The Macon Gun Club has just put in an order for the largest trap that is used for shooting. It is the Maiguatrap. In its way it is one of t'he ’wonders of the century. Captain Jim Baker says that it will turn the targets loose by the bushel and a fel low can got a shot into the bunch. At any rate it is the best trap that is made and will be used at the tournament. The shoot will take place 'at the grounds of the club in the baseball park. The Brown House has been selected . as the headquarters of the shooters, and Mana ger Parker has given special rates for this occasion. The Southeastern Passenger Association has granted special rates for this occa sion on the certificate plan. A ticket will be issued at the depot from which the vis itors to 'Macon starts. This ticket will go at 'full fare, and at the same time a cer tificate wi'il be issued which on being countersigned 'by the secretary 'here will' entitle the holder to a third fare back to his home again. This makes a one and one-third rate. The live (bird shoot, which will be on the third day of the 'tournament, will attract more attention than any of the other events. The club has secured seven or eight hundred good strong birds and as this is as many as it is possible to use up in one day there will be no lack of birds. Captain Jim Baker has a lot of birds up at ills house which he is training for the occasion. They are being taught to dodge the shot and get away in a hurry when ever they hear the word pull even if it is whispered in the next county. These Cap tain Baker says he is saving for Cater Etheridge. NOTICES TO MASONS. The Annual Convention Meets in Macon Next Month. Grand Secretary and Recorder W. A.

Defenders of Their Country Have Few Pre liminaries to See To. With war talk rife, it is a matter of Interest to the holders of insurance poli cies to know that they would have to do to retain them in the event of their being called upon to shoulder a rifle and get in the game. A talk with an insurance agent yester day disclosed an easy method that is fol lowed by nearly all insurance companies. When a policy holder is about to go forth with his shield, with a good chance of be ing brought back in the way the Spartan mother advised her son to make his re appearance, all he has to do to keep up his policy is to make application through his local agent or directly to headquarters for a permit. This is granted without hes itation, and the policy holder can then go forth to battle assured that his beneficia ries wil not suffer if he is killed. There is a slight expense attached to the permits being granted. This is to cover the additional risk and to keep the com panies above water while many of their in' fred are off getting themselves shot at. Tie permit specify that these additions to the premiums must be paid, and state that they' will be charged up against the ac count of the policy holders and kept as lein-s against the policy. They are charged against the face of the policies and are de ducted therefrom if the war experience of the holders sends them on the long jour ney. The permits authorize those to whom they are issued to serve in the army in a declared war, the privilege being always allowed them to serve in the suppression of riot and doing police duty. The equit able increase in the rate in time of war is not burdensome to the soldier while he is away, as the yearly charges are made and run without interest. There is no difficulty about securing the permits. They are readily furnished. A policy holder, after applying, does not even have to wait until the permit comes, as his appli-.ation is recorded at the offices of the company and he can go on to the wars with his mind at rest in so far as the knowledge that a shot through the head or heart will not cut his wife and children out of their insurance money. One of the companies recently issued a pro tarnation to the effect that its policy bailers will not have to apply for permits if they go to war. It will make no in- C’ a; d charge in its rates. ATKINSON COMING TOMORROW. Will Meet th? Citizens of Macon and Talk of the Coming Event. A letter just received from Mr. J. S.

JEFFRIES WHIPS JACKSON. At No Time Did the Negro Stand Any Show for Winning. San Francisco, Cal., March 23—Jim Jef fries, of Los Angeles, easily defeated Peter Jackson in the third round last night at Woodward’s pavilion. Jackson did not make much of a show ing after the first round. lie displayed some of his old-time cleverness in duck ing and jabbing with his left, but could not land hard enough to stop the rushes of bis younger and stronger antagonist. Jeffries showed considerable improve ment in cleverness, using his hands with both judgment and precision. The second round was lively until Peter got a hard left swing on the jaw, which sent him down on his back. He arose only to go down again from the same blow and was saved by the gong sounding time. Jackson came up looking fairly fresh in the third round, but soon received a hard left on the jaw which made him wobble helplessly about the ring. Another blow sent him against the ropes, where he hung unable to lift his hands. Jeffries stepped back awaiting the re covery of his opponent, but as Peter was plainly out, the referee stopped the game and declared Jeffries the winnner. Youman Sailors $3.50 and $5. Harry L. Jones Co. DR. SAM HARE Secretary of the Agricultural Society is in the City. Among the visitors to Macon today is Dr. Sam Hape, the scretary of the State Agricultural Society. Dr. Hape seems to think that it is not at all improbable that the society will hold its next fair in Macon but he is not sure that a fair will be held this year. So far no steps have been taken to make arrange ments for the fair. It is Macon’s year to have the fair, but the Carnival for which arrangements have been carried along to a very considerable extent will probably interfere as it does not appear that the people of Macon are at ail anxious to have the fair. * On the other hand there are a very large number es people who say that the time is ripe for the holding of the fair and that the two things ought to run in conjunc tion. They say that every exposition that has been held of late has been nothing but an agri ultural shew as a side show to the big carnival and amusement features and that the office of the Agricultural Society is to give a good show so far as it en courages the farmer and that they can do this at a very small expense in Macon this year and at the same time the city can provide amusements that will bring the people. The day of the strictly agricultural show has gone by and what the people want Is fun. That’s what they are going to get at the carnival. LEAVES TOMORROW. Dr. Mason Will Start for His Hew Home iff Ft. Worth Texas. Dr. J. M. M3.son, and his son Holmes, will leave Macon tomorrow’ for Fort Worth, Texas, where Dr. Mason will make his home in the future.

He will go into the dental supply busi ness In Fort Worth with his brother-in taw. He has made his home in Macon thirteen years, and as a dentist he has no superior.

Other informal entertainments was given to the visitors during the evening and nothing was left undone that might create ■and leave a good impression of their visit.
