Washington, July 2" By tomorrow our govt rumeni will have dt'ti rinin <1 and eoniinuni.-.ifed to th< French .ambassador ju> t what form the steps leading towards peace shall take.

The a.rmirtlee, if granted, will be condi tioned upon the most binding pledges that it Is to be followe by a treaty of peace. Moreover, the preliminary agreement that provides for the armistice must constitute in Itself an undertaking on the part of Spain to submit to certain broad conditions imposed by the United States as a basis of peace. w . .Military operations are to go steadily so. ....... o ...

TO DECEIVE HER PEOPLE. Spain’s Denials of Peace Negotiations Are for Home Consumption. London. July 27 -The equivocal denial from Madrid recently when inquiries were made on the subject of the reported ne gotiations was seemingly given out at the Spanish eapitol prior to Spain’s formal ap plication at Washington for peace. Many similar communications, intended for home consumption, may he expected during the negotiations, hut the only pur pose of uch denials is u> allay Castilian susceptibilities and they will not affect the real point at issue. The liveliest satisfaction is expressed in all quartets and in the newspapers throughout Europe at the fact that Spain had at last done the right thing for the first time during the war and peace is looked upon as being within measurable distance. It is t iken for granted that the opening of negotiations implies the cessation has tlliti.s and it is believed here that the United States was at first unofficially ap proached and gave the general idea of the conditions she would insist on before < ambon presented his note and the formal negotiations will consist chiefly of the formulation of the terms already prac tically settled.

Governor Atkinson yesterday appointed five members of the library commission authorized by an act of the last legislature. Under this act the members are to be apointed for three years, but they draw no pay and are not allowed anything even for traveling expensese. The members are: Miss Annie Wallace, Atlanta; Mrs. Nora L. Barbrey, Macon; Mrs. Eugene Heard of Elberton; Mr. Alex C. King and Mr. H. C. Peeples, Atlanta. The business of the commission is to give advice and council to all libraries in the state and to all communities which may propose to establish them as to the best methods of doing so, the selection of books, cataloguing and other details of library management. The commission shall make biennal reports to the governor. HAVE ORDERED BANDAGES. The Football Team Will Com mence Its Practice Next Month. The Macon football team under the man agement of Holt Virgin will begin practice next month. The football armor, consist ing of suits, shin guards, nose guards, head harness, adhesive plaster and band ages was ordered today. The team is composed of the best lot of players ever gotten together in the city and it will make other teams hustle in order to beat them. The first game of the season will be played in Macon on October 11 for the benefit of the Carnival. The game will be against Columbus. The Athens team will make its first apearance in football in Macon on October 30th. This game will probably be the best of the sea son as the Athens boys know football and have been .playing for years. Mr. Gordon Saussy. Cornell '96. will nrobably coach the Macon team and when the two teams meet it will be a battle royal. The <Macon team will probably average 180 pounds, which would maute it one of the heaviest teams in the South. A captain has not yet been selected but will be chosen in the next few days. As soon as the suits arrive the boys will go in light training and will do some prac ticing at night so as to be in good shape when the regular practice season comes. The Macon people are going to support the football team this year and the man ager. Mr. Holt Virgin, promises them nice games. Auburn will probably come and a game with the Techs is almost a certainty. The Macon team will play clean, hard football and nothing else and will allow no opposing team to do otherwise. The change in last year's rules makes the game a prettier one and less danger ous. Ten yards are now required to be made in three downs and only five men can play back of the line. The changes will tend to open the game and more kicking and end running will be done. REFUSE BUSINESS Over the Cables to AH Points Except San Juan. New York.

MACON BRICK To Be Used on the Tifton Court House—the Other Is Unsatisfactory, Tifton. Ga., Juy 27. —The contractors, Messrs. Hugger & Wineton, of Greenville, Ala., are having some trouble w'ith Ber rien county’s new $16,000 court house. Before beginning work Mr. Hugger, the senior member of the firm came here and looked over the land. Nashville, the coun ty seat, where the court house is to be built, is thirteen miles from the railroad, and as the court house is to be brick, the hauling was the most important it?m in considering the expenses. Mr. Hugger decided that ne clay around Nashviile would make good brick. '.nJ a lot of briek making machinery was sh pped to Nashville and several thousand btick were made and burned before work be gan. The walls had been finished six feet high when the county comm ssioner- in spected the work and objectel to the qual ity of brick that were being used. The arenitects, Chamberlain & Co., of Ten nessee, who sold the plans and prom fed to supervise the work, were s.nt f r and they pronounced the brick unfit for 011- side work. The walls will be torn Ji*n and briek w L be shiped from Maeon tor the na side wall, while those made in Nashville will be used in filling $1.75 for any lady’s, 2.50 for an\- gent’s 4.00/5.-00 or 6.00 shoe in the house.

Money Put in Circulation by the Fruit Busi ness Is a Great Help, Macon is beginning to feel the effect of the immense amount of money that has been put in circulation as the result of the big peach crop and business is getting bet ter every day. The outlook is that the fall business in Macon will be better than it has been for many years. There is some inquiry for city real es tate and the dealers say that it is wonder ful what an impetus has been given to the inquiry for farm and fruit lands as a re sult of the big crop. Several good buildings are under con sideration in the city and more of the emp ty stores will be occupied than the people have any idea of. The banks report that their collections are good, and farmers coming into the city from the country say that the outlook is excellent for the cotton crop and for corn. The first bale of cotton may be expected here from this district proper within the next two or three weeks, though a bale of cotton from further south may get here any time next week. In a general wily it may be truthfully said that Macon is in better spirits than she has been at this time of the year for the last six years. WORK IN EARNEST BY THE CHAMBER. It Looks as if the Macon Wa ter Rates Must Come Down. The water and gas rates paid by the people of the city of Macon have been taken up in earnest by the Chamber of Commerce and it looks as if the result of the deliberations of a committee appointed by that body to confer with the Macon Gas Light and Water Company and to act in conjunction with a committee from the city council might be to bring a change in the*:: rates. it is evident from the report of the oom mittee -that the rate on water paid in Ma con is higher than is paid in any other city in the country. But this does not apply to the rates outside of those charged on the meter. At least this is the claim made by the company, who say that while the me ter rates are high, the rates charged on water by the opening are fair and just. The committee was appointed at the last meeing of the city council and will act with the other committee as soon as an ar rangement can be made for a conference with the Water Company. At present this company is having a hard time. They found it very difficult to get- the new pumping station into working order, -and the water is still muddy. The people have been slow in paying up their water bills in advance and a large reduction on all tho bills paid has been made by the company, in some eases going as high as 30 per cent. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. Captain of First Tennessee Wounded by a Lieutenant. San Francisco, July 27—Just after the close of target practice by the First Ten nessee regiment, the pistol of Lieutenant Law, of company “C,” was accidentally discharged, the bullet passing through the calf of Captain Reed’s- right leg. He will be laid rip for several days. appeaUfor THE WOUNDED. Mrs. R. E. Park Asks Help for the Men at Mc- Pherson. Mrs. R. E. Park, the vice president of the Army and Navy League of this state, has made an appeal to the people in behalf of the sick soldiers now at McPherson bar racks and hospital. In this appeal she says that she recogni zes the claim of the soldiers at Camp Price, but she says that the men who been at the front and have been wounded in defense of their country’s flag and hon or, have the first call. Mrs. Parks is at present visitng in Atlan ta, but as soon as she returns the work of the Army and Navy League in this district will be pushed with the greatest vigor. Several entertainments are on the tapis for the Relief Association here, but this organization has nothing to do with the state league, though all of the ladies in the former are heartily in favor of the organization of which Mrs. Park is the head in this district and will end their aid to any undertaking looking to the increase of the treasury fund. Following is Mrs. Park's app. al to the Macon public: There is an urgent need for old and new sheets, pillow cases, towels and old ana new underclothing suitable for the sick, for jellies, and similar delicacies, both at Fort McPherson, where six hundred men are already in the hospital and accessions expected daily, and also at Tampa, where the sick list is increasing with fearful ra pidity. Will not the Macon public, without de priving the Macon soldiers of any needed aid. assist in this emerg:ncy? All contribu tions in these neeesasry articles, or money to purchase them, should be sent without delay to Miss Sallie Boone, 71& Second street, Macon, Ga. Miss Boone will for ward all contributions to Mrs. W. Y. At kinson, president Army and Navy League, Executive Mansion, Atlanta, Ga., who will, through her committee, place them where most useful. May there be a quick an I generous response to a pressing need. Mrs. R. E. Park. Vice President Army and Navy League, For Sixth Congressional District.

STRATON WON GOLD^ MEDAL And the Oratorical Champion ship of the South in Con test at Monteagle. MERCER IS PROUD OF HIM. He Took the Prize Away from Eight of the Great Universities of the South, Mercer University and Georgia repre sented in the person of Mr. John Roach Straton, have won the oratorical cham pionship for the South and gold medal at the great contest which took place at Monteagle, Tennessee. This is the first time that Georgia has competed and the fact that she has car ried off the honors will be a source of great satisfaction and pride to the <_% lege men of tin .-tare and to the people gen erally. Mercer University has especial cause to be proud as it was one of her men who carried off the honor. Mr. Straton was selected to represent Mercer in this contest some time ago and the Mercer students and the friends of the college generally have had great confidence in him. In the inter-collegiate- contests in Atlanta he has won for the last two years, but everyone realized that it the contest before him at Monteagle he had tremendous odds to work against. Eight of the universities of the South were entered in the contest. For the last few years Vanderbilt University has car ried off the championship, in fact it has been almost conceded that Vanderbilt had a cinch on the medal and the entry of Mercer was not looked upon with any ap prehension by the supporters of the Ten nessee college. Vanderbilt was booked for a “win” this time and as a matter of fact the brief tel egrams received here today say. that she did make a noble struggle for it, but the wonderful oratory of the Georgia boy car ries everything before it and he won. Mr. Straton’s subject for the contest was: “The Breaking up of the Solid South, the Salvation of the South.” While the details of the contest ar*e not yet at hand those who have heard Mr. Straton can readily imagine how ably he handled his subject and the fact that he won over eight other contestants is full assurance that his speech must have been a magnificent effort. Mercer was the only Georgia college rep resented in the contest, but, as Mr. had already carried off the honors\from all Georgians, it would have been useless to put any other representative in. In fact this is the first time that a Georgia college has competed in this great event among the colleges of the South and the friends of Mercer and the people of Macon have good cause for congratula tions. Mr. Straton will receive a very hearty welcome on his return to Georgia and to Macon. NEW FEATURES FOR CARNIVAL. lhe Mystic Parade Will Be the Biggest Thing Ever Seen in Georgia. Not a day passes now without something being done for the big Macon Carnival and Diamond Jubilee to be held in October. Among the other features which have already been mentioned the Mystic 'Parade is receiving a great amount of attention from the committee in charge and some changes have been made in the plans that will add greatly to the attractiveness of the parade. Mr. G. C. Matthews is the chairman of this committee and he is devoting a consid erable amount of enegy and ingenuity to the development of a feature that is sure k> create a sensation when the time comeis. The drawings for the floats have been re ceived and are exceeding attractive. The making of these floats will, in all probabil ity be placed in the hands of an expe rienced contractor who has visited the city and who fully understands all about the mechanical devices that are now a regular part of such parades. The floral committee has- already com menced on its work and have received as surances of great help from the ladies and it is probable that a large number of out side towns will be represented in this pa rade. The carnival ball will be the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in this state, and it is proposed to make it something that will be a distinct feature of the car nival celebration. NARROW ESCAPE • Os Two Young Men in a Runaway at Indian Springs. A runaway occurred yesterday at Indian Spring which came near resulting in a serious accident to a party of young Macon people, who were out driving. The horses became frightened while go ing down a hill, and started on a run. The driver became very much excited and diopped the reins. The trap in which they were riding struck a large rock and turned over but fortunately no one was hurt. Two of the young men, Mr. Henry Lamar, Jr., and Mr. Nat Parker, were slightly bruised. The young ladies escaped without injury. ON UP TRIP. } City of Macon Lett Brunswick Yesterday With Good Cargo. The steamer City of Macon left Bruns wick for the up trip yesterday afternoon and will be here next week. A river man says that there is no fear now of low water or such water as will prevent the trips of the boat regularly for the rest of the year. The boat on this trip carries the biggest cargo she has ever brought up the river, and from now on her trade will be brisk. The committee having the matter in charge will commence the work of com pleting arrangements for the building of another boat without delay and it is hoped that by the time the fall business opens Macon will have two boats on the river. $1.75 for any lady’s, 2.50 for any gent’s 4 00, 5.00 or 6.00 shoe in the house.
