Last Edition. 3:45 P M LONG DEBATE IN THE SENATE A Vote Will Not Be Reached in the Upper House of Congress BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT, Senators Are Taking Advantage of the Opportunity to Play to the Grand Stand, Washington, April 14. —Soon after pray er in the senate a message was received from the house transmitting the Cuban rerolutloUH passed by tli.it body, and by unanimous consent it was laid before that body. Turner, of Washington, secured the llo«r. and made a speech criticising the p< fry of the administration. Hoar followed. He deprecated the exhi bitions of feeling towards the president, who was, h< said, in diplomacy the repre s< illative of all the people, and what the pr, sident we as a people do. He not only approved what the-president had done, but wii.it l< had refi:>,ied from dong. Hoar said that in a as,- of war we could count upon many disasters like that of the Maine, and a great increase of the public debt. He then said Turner, who represented only half a state, was making the president, who represents forty-five states, subject to the same kind of obju rations that with inflicted upon Washing ton. He predicted that McKinley's fame would not suffer. The nine I’opuli. t senators have agreed to vote for the Turpie amendment for the recognition of the independence of the Cu ban government. Conservative senators expect the house will stand firm foi its resolution, and if the senate adopts the Davis resolulibns with or without the recognition amendment, the conservatives believe the senate will in the end have to yield. 'Mr. Hoar said that it would" be well for impetuous people this day to remember Lincoln’s counsels in the'early days of the civil war, and not forget "Hull Rup.” Hoar did not agree with Foraker that belligerency should lie recognized. This recognition would not do the insurgents any good, and it would have given the Spaniards authority to search the ships. He spoke of the sympathy of England at the present crisis, saying it might be need ed before long. This sympathy had, he said, been won Tor us by the bearing of the president. He aid that he also concurred w in the views of the president regarding the recognition of the present Cuban gov ernment. To recognize them now would be to disown our country's history. The debate will be continued pH day and tomorrow. A vote will not reached on the Cuban question before tomorrow night. AT HIS POST. Woodfoid in Madrid Where All is Reported Quiet. Madrid, April 14.

In speaking of it today he said: "In the ■last.two years they have laid over half a million yards in the principal cities in the United States such as Washington. Balti * more, Philadelphia and New York. "The competition of the Southern Pav- Ing Company has been the means of se ducing the sort of this class of paving fully thirty-three and a half per cent.” I is not at all improbable that as Mr. Horne represents this company and his guarantee is good that a portion of the paving will be done in thy asphalt.

Clem Phillips. MACON NEWS THURSDAY APRIL 14 1898. LEETELLSHOW ITWAS DONE Consul General’s iTestimony Before Committee in Full. WEYLER PARTISANS Did the Bloody Work-Havana Har bor Was'Mined Sensational Evidence. Wash’” testimony take . L.e senate committee on foreign relations in connection with the investiga tion into the relations between the United States and Cuba was made public today. The statement, which contains the great est current interest is that by Lee ou tlie 12th. In this Lee said that he is informed on very good authority that the Spaniards had placed two rows of torpedoes just at the mouth of Havana harbor by Moro Castle within the past two months or sub sequent to the Maine disaster and that the switchboard is in a room in the castle, lie said, however, that he had no informa tion of the placing of any torpedoes before the Maine was destroyed and none in re gard to a purchase abroad by the Spanish authorities. Lee went on to say that Weyler’s letter to Santos Guzman had led him to believe that mines might have been placed there previous to the Maine incident and he said the supposition is strengthened by a tele gram from Woyler, of which he had recog nizance. Upon the whole he thought the Weyler letter was a correct cony of the genuine letter. The telegram he referred .was addressed to Eva Canel, a noted Spanish woman and an admirer of Weyler’s, and to Guzman it read as follows: “Grave circumstances cause me to ask you to destroy the last letter of February 18.” Lee said that this telegram had never before been published and he found in it strong confirmatory evidence of the gen uineness of the Weyler letter. “I have always had an idea about Hie Maine, that of course it was not blown up by any private individual, or bj r any pri vate citizen, but by some officers who had charge of the mines and the electrical wires and torpedoes in the arsenal there who thoroughly understood their business for it was done remarkably well. “I do not think that Blanco had any thing to do. with it. I saw him. just short ly after the occurrence. He seemed to re gret it as much as anybody. “I think it came from some subaltern officers who had been there under Weyler and who were probably anti-Blaneo any how, and who had full knowledge of the business.” General Lee was asked by Senator Dan iel as he closed his testimony whether Blanco was lacking in courtesy when Lee left the island. Lee replied: “I went with the British consul general. I saw Congosto, secretary to the captain general, and told Congosto I had received instructions to leave the island and go to the United States, and called to pay the final respects to Blanco. He asked me. to sit down, and said he would let him know. “He went off and stayed about fifteen minutes, came back and said the general said please excuse him; he was not well, and was lying down. “I told Congosto to say good-bye to trim, and I turned and left.” MRS.

Clem Phillips. NOW'S THE TIME TO CLOSE OP, Judge W. A. Poe Gives Out a Stirring Interview on Populist Statement. WHITE PEOPLE TOGETHER At a Time Like This— Let Differences Be Forgotten —Open the Gate and Let the Brethren In, The action of the Atlanta Populists in calling a state convention to nominate a state ticket since Mr. Watson has with drawn from the nomination and has posi tively declined the use of his name does not meet with the approval of the strong est. element of that party. Judge W. A. Poe, who has always been a most prominent Populist and whose opinions have the respect of the people in this section of the state said this morn ing (Wat he thought the action of the clique in Atlanta was all wrong and that" the Populists of the state would not ap 'prove the course that is proposed by a few of the Populists who think that they are running things. “I speak not only for myself, but for the conservative element of the Populist party," said Judge Poe, "when I say that the opinion is that we should not have a staler ticket this year. "Mr. Watson wak the head and front of the party in this slate and as strong as any man in the United States has declined to lead the party in what he recognizes is p- hopeless fight this year. It is a hopeless fight. We cannot win. Why then split the white vote'of the state. Let us get together again. “War is upon us and the people of the South —the white people should stand to gether. This is no time to -be quibbling over trifles and splitting hairs, for after all the Populists and the Democrats are very close together.. “We have really no great differences. The Populists are willing to support the Democratic ticket and the nominees in both the counties and the state. But in order to get them to do so the Democrats should avoid hidebound rules affecting the past. Take off the rules that will prohibit the Populists .from voting in the primaries and they will vote and will support the Democratic nominees at the ballot box. "It is folly to think that a voter who takes, part in the primaries will not sup port the ticket. The majority of men who vote are honorable men. When a man • VO.es in the primary he is in honor bound to support the nominee. Now I say that if the Populists are allowed to vote in the primaries they will support the Demo cratic ticket very generally throughout the state. "I say these things advisedly and with the utmost good faith believing that I speak for the best part of the party. 1 feel deeply on the subject just at this time and I hope and believe that the Populist party will have jio ticket in the field this year and if they do I do not believe that the ticket would receive the support of the party at this 'time. If the Democrats wish to hold out the hand of good fellowship to the white voters of this state who have differed from them in politics but are very close to them now in their opinions and in fact with them entirely on the main points of th platform both state and national, now is the time for them to do it and so strengthen the party and unite the white people. “1 feel deeply on the subject because this is a campaign year and war is upon us. We people of the South must slant together. Georgians—white Georgians can not afford to be squabbling over small things in politics at such a. time when every man should stand shoulder to shoulder with his neighbor. “I feel in this that I am speaking for the, bes.t element of the Populist party. Here in Bibb if the Populists are allowed to vote in the primaries the great majority of them will stand by the Democratic ticket and we will nd the war in politics to stand together for our country, its honor and the safety of those v.ho are near and dear to us." KNIGHTS OF HONOR. Meeting of the Grand Lodge Has Adjourned Until Next Year.

A few days ago it was published in air Atlanta paper that the first golf club in the state had been organized in Atlanta a few days ago. This is a mistake, as the first club was organized in Macon last year by the students at Mercer University and the club is now in a flourishing condi tion. The grounds of the Macon club are sit uated back of 'Mercer, and are especially adapted to the playing of the game, being rough and hilly. A large number of the students of Mercer and citizens of Macon have- learned to play the game, ami it ’s now a popular sport here.

More precious than gold are tne windows of the soul (the eye). Its delicacy and finished perfection is beyond de scription. Yet notwithstanding that fact the eye is subjected to more use and abuse than is any oth:— organ of the body, for it is at rest only when closed in sleep.

WAS IN GREAT HASTE. His Departure is Thought to be of Grave Significance Trou ble Expected. General Graham, commander of the southern headquarters of the United States army, passed through Macon last night at 11:13 in route to Savannah, from whence he will go to the Tybco fortifications in response to urgent orders from the war department. The visit as General Gra ham is regarded as of grave a gnifie tnee, ami is supposed to mean that Immediate trouble is expected: To rush to immediate completion the fortifications on the South Atlantic coast is the purpose of General Graham’s de parture to the forts along the coast, and it is greatly destrexl that tfie forts be made as strong as possible. Sullivan’s fort and the fort on Tvboe Island are probably the most vulnerable points on the eoast, and General Graham will personally superintend the rush work that has been ordered for tin sc’forts. . General Graham left at 7:50 o’clock for i Savannah. He received the orders barely in time to prepare for the trip. His orders were to proceed at once to Tybee Island ami Sullivan’s Island, and to rush the work on the fortifications there. He was instructed to reach either fort at the earliest possible moment. He found that he could get to Savannah and to Tybee quicker than to Charleston and to Sulli van’s Island, so he left for Savannah. After hastening the work on the fortifi cations at Tybee, General Graham will go at once to Sullivan's Island, and will have the work rushed there. He will in all like lihood be instructed to visit all the other forts on the coast before his return to see that they are in proper condition for war. The fortifications at Tyhee arc already in fairly good shape, but the war department is not certain that, they are sufficiently strong to repulse any very powerful attack that might be made upon Savannah. The department of the gulf was very quiet nere yesterday, and very little news developed dur.ng the day. Th re was one order of some importance, but the officials could not give it out. The Twenty-fifth infantry troops will pass through Atlanta today. They are al- . ready nearing Chattanooga, and this even ing will pass through on their way to Key West.
