There was. however, an accident on

UNIFORM BALE.
Cotton Men Met Yesterday
Afternoon and Took Im
portant Action.
The cotton compress men and the cotton
men generally of Macon met yesterday af
ternoon at the Chamber of Commerce and
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, lAt the recent session of the
Interior Compress Association, held at
\tlanta. May 12. 1898. a committee was
appointed to draft a report on improve
ment of the American cotton bale, and
Whereas, said committee, after a thor
ough investigation, recommended that the
ginners of the South be induced to adgpt
a 24x54-inch press box. therefore be it
Resolved. That we unqualifiedly indorse
the recommendation of said report, being
fully convinced that the adoption of a uni
form press box will effect a saving of
millions of dollars to planters, upon whom
falls all the burden of expense involved
in the prestn system of baling and hand
ling cotton.
Resolved. That it is the sense of {his
convention that the advantages of a 24x54
gin press: first, in securing a bale of uni
form size, thereby causing it to occupj - less
storage space: second, because it .will oc
cupy less space and admit of closer pack
ing on board car and ship, should be forci
bly Impressed on every cotton planter, as
the lessening storage and transportation
charges increases the value of the crop in
the hands of the planter.
Resolved further. That it is the sense of
this convention that all warehousemen
should stamp on cotton receipts the words
“standard bale” ie all cases where bale
has been pressed In a ?4x54-inch press, in
order that exporters can readily Identify
the same, to the end that they may be
enabled thereby to secure lower ocean
freight rates.
The resolutions wer adopted by a unan
imous vote, and the secretary instructed
to sign the name of the following attest
ing the same:
Calder B. Willingham, warehouseman
and factor; Heard &- Moore, warehousemen
and factors; R. T. Adams, warehousemen

World from Madrid says:
The queen is profoundly alarmed and
grieved at the news of the war, particu

popular irritation against the government
and existing institutions is assuming a

The startling telegram from Governor
General Augustini caused the impression
that Manila either had surrendered already
or was on the eve of surrendering.

LORD WOLSELEY
AS VIC£ REGENT
He Mav be Sent to Canada to

Country,
ROBERTS MAY SUCCEED HIM
As Commander-in-Chlef oftheEng
lish Army and Then England
Will Have a Soldier There.
New York, June 10.—A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The British government has ha i unusual
trouble in filling the vacancy forth? vice
royalty of Canada.
Numerous candidates for the place have
been mentioned, but no appointment has
been made. The great relations now ex
isting between England and America make I
it important that the new governor gener- !
al of Canada should be an official of unique
. reputation, so as to impress the imagina- ;
tion of the whole English speak’ng race
in America.
The appointment has not been officially
announced, but it is generally believed that
Lord Wolseley Is the man who has been
selected for this important post. .
Nothing has yet appeared in print about
it, but it may be stated with the utmost
confidence that overtures nave been made
I to him.
Lord Wolsley is at once a sol Her and a
diplomat equal to any work which ho may
be called upon to perform. If he decides
| to accept the offer, which has undoubtedly
! be;n made, he will retire from the army
and devote th? remainder of his life to of
ficial work as governor general and to the
completion of the memoirs, which he has
long desired to write.
At the same time the acceptance of Lord
Wolsley will create a vacancy in the office
of commander in chief, which the friends
of Lord Robert would like to have their
favorite fill. Lord Robert is a sald-ier only,
and a very ambitious one.

The Constitution today says:
Referring to the publication in today’s

Holmes and Mason, of ‘Macon, of ethical
doctrines in that “these gentlemen re
cently forming a partnership allowed a
statement to appear in a IMacon paper that
they were pulling teeth as efficiently and
as cheaply as any dentists in Macon,” it
can be stated in behalf of these gentlemen
that they were in no way responsible for
the notice in the Macon paper. Dr. J. M.
•Mason recently returned from Texas and
renewed his partnership with Dr. Walter

GREAT DAMAGE
DONE TO FORTS
And Thought to Have Been
Great Loss of Life as Re
sult of Battle.
New York, June 10 —(A special to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba Wednesday
via Kingston, Jamaica. Thursday, says:
Rear Admiral Sampson is confident that in
addition to the great damage done to the
forts and earthworks at the entrance of
Santiago harbor, more than one-half of the
Spanish guns were actually dismantled.
Perhaps even this estimate may be found
too low when the full effect of that terrible
rain of shot and shell becomes fully
known.
The extent to which the enemy was crip
pled is further shown by the eagerness
with which they are attempting to repair
their disabled batteries and put them in a
condition to resist further punishment by
our warships.
These efforts have so far not been at
tended with succeas. It has been learned
that during the bombardment on Monday
the Dolphin attacked a railroad train with
a shell from one of her guns. The train
was filled with Spanish troops and it is
known that many of them were killed.

ROYAL ROAD
TO MJ HOUSE
Prince of Royal Russian Blood
Found the Pace Too
Rapid.
LOST FRIENDS ANO MONEY
And in Seven Short Years He Came
From the Fifth Avenue Hotel
to a Padded Cell.
New York, June 10.—The World this
morning says: Prince Alexandrovitch Ga
litzin, descended from royal ancestry, was
taken from the Bellevue Hospital yester
day and lodged in a padded cell at Bloom
ingdale Asylum.
After running the entire social gamit
from the most exclusive houses to the co
terie of Bohemia, he passed into the land
of lost minds. (He “went broke” several
days ago. Now he has gone mad and is
suffeiing from acute mania. The cause is
abject poverty and want.
Early in the summer of 1890 a small,
black-haired, dark-eyed young man arriv
ed from Europe and registered at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel as Prince Alexandrovitch
Galitzin, St. Petersburg. He was perfectly
dressed and spoke English readily. He had
money and made friends easily.
'A visit to Washingto nresuliad in his ap
pointment to a semi-official position at the
Russian embassy. He was presented to
President Harrison and attended the levees
given during the winter at the Whitehouse.
He was even more popular at the capital
than in New York, and for two y?ars lived
quietly on an allowance received from a
sister in Moscow. 'During his occasional
visits to the metropolis he was persona
grata with 'Consul General Olarovski, who
entertained him several times at his house.
In the summer of 1894 an uncle of this
young man, named Prince Gregory Galat
zin, arrived in this country. He was a
lieutenant general in the Russian annr, a
man of fifty and possessed large wealth.
He traveled like an Indian rajah.
He acknowledged the relationship with
his nephew, but did not attach him to his
royal court.
'After that the pathwaj' of the younger
prince became smoother at fiist, but ne
finally lost his money and friends.
DISTILLERS’
COMBINATION
Another Tremendous Concern

“Within the next few days Joseph B.
Greeuhut, formerly president of the Amer

He will be here in the interest of the
Independent 'Distillers combination which
he has been actively enigaiged in bringing
to a culminating point for the past six
months.
“At present Greenhut Is in New York.
Money is needed to carry the deal through
and the time is limited. Mr. Greenhut is
v orking bard to bring matters to a head.
St. Louis is largely interested in the trans
action.
“Mi. Greenhut himself is in a measure
interested in the Mound City distillery of
St. Louis,” remarked a prominent St.
Louis distiller yesterday.
“The 'Mound City plant will be in the
new combine also a new distillery re
cently started up at Vincennes, Ind., own
ed and operated by T. E. Tuscher, Wosley
and others of St. Louis.
“Others to fall in line are the Mill
Creek people, at Cincinnati, who gave the
option to hold good until July, the Willow
Springs distillery at Omaha, undgr the
same terms.
“The America distillery owned by the
Wilsons and the Globe owned by the Her
gots, both at Pekin, 111., were the next to
fall in line.
In Terre Haute are the Majestic and
Indiana distilleries, controlled by the
America Distributing Company. President
Curtis, of this company, also gave options.
The Woolners, of Peoria, were next to
consent, with the understanding that a
member of their firm shoud be one of the
directors.
“All options given are said to expire on
the first of the coming month. For that
reason the promoters are particularly
anxious ip reach sufficient money to float
the combination before that time, hence
Mr. Greenhut’s visit to St. Louis. It is
stated that the new concern will be incor
porated under the laws of either New
York ar Illinois with a capital stock way
up in the millions. Mr. Greenhut said that
“Provided the combination goes through
there will be two mammoth whisky pools
