Another Radical Speech Made to the Delegates bv Ig natius Donnelly. Cincinnati. Sept. 6.—The middle of the road Populistic convention want into the second day's session at an early hour to day, when the temporary organization was made permanent. Ignatius Donnelly made another radical speech, denouncing those who had co-oper ated with the fusion movement and very strongly advocating the reorganization of the party not only tor an independent pres idential ticket, but for independence and Ideals for congress. A letter was read from ex-Governor Waite, of Colorado, in which he denounc ed Senator Butler as a treacherous chair man and a false leader, and advocated the nomination of a straight Populist ticket for president and other offices. An elaborate address to the people of the United States was adopted. It reaf firms the previous platform of the Populists and referring to the present situation says: “The People's party vote of 1594 rose to nearly two millions and everything indi cated a speedy national triumph. In this emergency the Democratic party saw that tt had no recourse but to steal one of the principles of the despised Populists. Sen ator Butler, who is the chairman of our national committee preached the disinte gration and demoralization. Just as Ben edict Arnold stipulated for the scattering of Che American forces that the British might che more readily overthrow the young republic. “Butler taught our forces that the first duty of a soldier was to break ranks and go over to the eoetny. All efforts to chain Che boundless, subtlety of this cunning man have been vain. Our chief battle is not against the demonic ization of of metal for the benefit of another, but against the chaining of the world's progress to the oar wheels of prehistoric superstition in Che shape of both metals. The whole world today is held in check by a system of gold barter while enterprise languishes. Industry suffers and cemeteri<.B are populous wit hthe bodies of bankrupts and suicides. “We will end the trickery of the office seekers by putting our national ticket in the field at once. I have nothing but kind words for the Republicans and Democrats individually. Our hearts go out to the wretched and oppressed of of the whole world, while we demand that if either gold or silver U to be used as money both shall be used. M e insist that the currency best currency this country ever was full tender greenbacks of the civil war and we look forward with hope to the day when gold shall be relegated to the dis eased teeth of the people.’’ t Finest soda water, gems, coca cola, etc., at our foun tain, Second street, next to Old Curiosity Shop. HELD BACK ffl FROM THE MEN None of the Volunteeers at Santiago Got Anv Money While There. COLONELS REQUESTER IT, The Paymaster General Savs that He Would Have Paid Them Had It Not Been for This.' Washington, Sept. 6. —Considerable com plaint has reached the war department from various parts of the country because the volunteer troops In Cuba d'id not re ceive their pay. In most ins ances the pay of the volun teers wax three months in arrears and the govt mment :a.s been criticised for not pay ing the men promptly. Now that th, iroope have returned to the United States, it develops that the men were not paid because the colonels of the regiments rquested the paymaster genral to withhold the money due the troops until they should return to the United States. Paymaster General Stanton saye the gov ernment had an efficient corps of paymas ters and plenty of money in Cuba, and could have paid the men promptly but for the requests made by the officers com manding the regiments.

TRAINS RUN THROUGH. Repairs On the Central Road Have About Been Completed. The Central yesterday got its morning train from Macon as far east as Rocky Ford. The morning Train from Savannah got as far out as Guyton, but did not reach that place until 1 o’clock, being delayed three hours at the twenty mile post at Eden by a washout there. It was feared that a break would occur at this point from the washing of the waters of the Ogeechee river. The train went back to Savannah last night, taking three hours for the run. It was reported that the water see-med to be rising at the place where the break had occurred in the morning and it is probable that there will be further trouble there. Unless there is another break at Eden, the road is now open from Savannah to Oliver, and Rock Ford to Atlanta. Between Oliver and Rocky Ford large forces of men wdth all needed materials, have been mustered to attack the breaks. If the water gives the railroad men any show at all it is believed a train can be run through from Savannah to Atlanta today on a slow schedule for the first one hundred miles. G. A. R. MEN IN GREAT CROWDS Cincinnati is Having a Great Reunion of Veterans. Cincinnati. Sept. 6. —The thirty-second annual encampment of the G. A. R. is a sucess as far as attendance is concerned, even for these national events, which are phenomenal for their crowds. The opening day yesterday surpassed the expectations, as well as on Sunday, but before the twenty-one guns were fired at sunrise today at Camp Sherman, the depots were crowded with more arrivals. The special trains arrived faster than they ' could be handled at the terminals in the early hours and the rush continued so that later the trains stopped at Camp Sherman and other suburban points, where street I ears and other transportation had been provided. The National Naval Association gave a grand parade this morning. Tomorrow the G. A. R. men will give their annual parade, I and on Thursday the civic and industrial i parade occurs. After the parade today the naval vete | pans were entertained on the steamboats.

THE MACON NEWS. 3 SfiAISUOOJO AhWq. 1 WHALING FLEET WAS DESTROYED News Comes from the Arctic of the Destruction of Eight Boats. CAUGHT IN ICE FLOES, The Vessels With Their Cargo Were Valued at Nearly a Million Dollars. San Francisco, Sept. 6.—A special to the Examiner from Seattle says that news of a disaster to an arctic whaling fleet came in the following letter from Captain 'Down ing, of the Wolcott, to Austin Clalrborne, local agent of the Pacific Steamer Whal ing Company: ■“Juneau, August 29 —I arrived from westward this evening. The latest from ■the arctic Is that all vessels are caught in the Ice. “Mason, the captain of the Jean nee, is crazy. I obtained the above from Captain. Ned Lefton, of the gunboat Wheeling. "'J. C. Downing.” This letter came via the steamship Alkl, which arrived from Juneau this afternoon. Clalrborne believes that only the whaling vessels originally caught in Point Barrow were destroyed. They number eight and are valued, together with the cargo, at $ 100,000 each. ORDERS INVESTIGATION. Death of Private Porrett Causes Some Sen sational Rumors. Washington Sept. 6. —Secretary Alger sent the following order to Montauk today: “Commanding General, Montauk, N. Y. — The New York World, of about the 28th ul timo published a statement of the death of Private Hugh Parrett, of the Eighth regulars, in which it Is charged that when he begged of Dr. to take him to the hospital, the doctor notified him that the hospital was for sick men, and it was re ported that Parrett died that night. “This account is sent me by Represen tative Grosvenor, of Ohio, who says there is great Indignation in his community over the case, and if it is as reported, there should be. I wish an inquiry immediately instituted to find out about the matter and reported to me. I understand one, Ser geant Rice, of same company of the regi ment. is under arrest for having complain ed of this matter. “I have heard much of the neglect of the men. much of which, no doubt, is fictitious, but if there is any foundation for this statement, or if there are any men ill of the regulars in their tents that are not provided for, I wish to know the reason, why and at once, also the names of the of ficers in command of the regiment and the company in each case. R. A. Alger. “Secretary of War.” WILL BE GOOD. Bankers Think that Thev Wiil Have No Tronble Col lecting This Fall. The recent rains, which is said to have damaged the crops to some extent, has caused many of the merchants to grow un easy about their collections. The farmers coming would report that their crops were ruined and that they would not make half a crop, and then as the price of cotton has a 'tendency to be low, is a good cause for the merchants to become uneasy, but the bankers say that they are not at all scared. The price of cotton has picked up some what in the last few days and the farmers now report that the crops are much bet ter than they were a week ago. and they say that they will make good crops yet. Mr. J. W. Cabaniss, president of the Ex change Bank, in speaking of the matter, said: “The collections will be very good this year. We are not at all afraid of the far mers not paying up. The reports that the crops were all damaged have been some what exaggerated. The farmers are always good men to pay their debts and we think that our collections will be as good this year as ever. Other bankers were of the same opinion as Mr. Cabaniss. All of them seemed to think that better times were coming. The merchants are not as blue as tlr’y were several days ago, but they still have some doubts as to collections being good. SMITH’S RESIGNATION? Majority of Posts in the State Have Asked for It. The Georgia division of the Travelers' Protective .Association is now in a fairway to get rid of its president, Mr. E. E. Smith. Augusta, Savannah and Atlanta have passed resolutions recommending that his resignation be asked for, and if not forth coming that his place be declared vacant on the ground that he is no longer a resi dent of the state. The local posts of the T. P. A. of Atlan ta, held a joint meeting last Saturday nigh: and passed a resolution in accord with the above facts. The resolution was hanging fire when a telephone message was re ceived from Augusta stating the action taken there, and aided much in getting the drummers into line. There was some very heatei discussions, but the meeting was very amicable in comparison to what had been expected, and the travelers say that they are now ready to bury the hatchet and live in peace under a new president. There is little doubt that the board of directors will ask for Mr. Smith's resig nation. He will probably be given tweny days in which to comply. If in that time his resignation is not in hand a conven tion of the state division will be called, which will decide whether it will elect a new president or authorize the position to be filled by the fist eligible vice president, which is Mr. J. E. Maddox, of Atlanta. PLUMBERS AND GASFITTERS MEET. Cleveland.

NEW ORLEANS CASE Has Not Been Fully Diagnosed— Quarantines AreZßeing Rapidly Put On—No Spread. Memphis, Sept. 6—The yellow fever sit uation in the South is not discouraging. In Mississippi today the fever is practical ly still within the limits of the two origi nal counties first infected. The single case at Benoit traceable to infection at Orwood has been thoroughly Isolated and today’s dispatches indicate that no spread is expected in that direc tion. The suspicious cases at Bear Creek, Copiah county, had been pronounced a yellow fever by experienced Inspectors. Two suspicious cases seven miles in the country from Meridian and one at Water Valley yet remain to be authoritatively heard from. All the spread there with the exception of the three cases up to today have been within a radius of ten miles in Lafayette county. Marshall county has one case east of Waterford thoroughly isolated. In other words there has not been, ac cording to the opinion of the best physi cians, such a spread and in so many dif ferent places as would warrant the belief that the infection is at all extensive from the original source. Up to today there have been twenty-nine cases at Orwood, five at Taylor’s an done at Waterford. ALABAMA QUARANTINE. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 6.—The state of Alabama has put on the quarantine against New' Orleans, but not against Jackson, Miss. CASE AT NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Sept. 6. —The Louisiana board of health has not yet issued a report on 'the suspicious case of fever which was under investigation yesterday. At the of fice of the board it is announced that the case Is convalescent and therefore difficult to diagnose. THROUGH TRAVEL. Chicago, Sept. 6.—The quarantine of Memphis, Jackson, 'Mobile and other towns ■against New Orleans does not inerfere with, through travel from points north of the Tennessee line. None of the Illinois Central trains are discon tined, hut the local trains are running 'between New- Orleans and the cities which quarantined against it have been taken off. NEW YORKERS At Lexington on Verge of Outbreak—Want to Be Mustered Out. Lexington, Ky., Sept. fi.—There will be trouble in the Twelfth. New York if Gov ernor Black shall recommend to the sec retary of war that it remain in the United States service, as he is almost certain to do. Private George Behrringer, 28, of Company B, who 'was put in the guard house because he circulated a petition ask ing Governor Black to have the regiment mustered out, is not an ordinary private. He was private secretary to Senator Lexow, of New York, who turned Tammany upside down and attracted the atteniton of the entire country. Having been a close observer of the miserable volunteer sys tem, he drew up the petition, and, making duplicate copies, circulated it rapidly. Cap tain Tilton, officer of the day, heard of it, and put young Behrringer under arrest. It is said that about ninety-five per cent of the men signed the petition, and that its promoter had arranged to deliver it to Governor Black with a little speech. When the mutterings against the impris onment of Behrringer got too loud yester day, it was decided by the officers to re lease him and not to have him tried by court martial. The tension in the Twelfth is so high that a few more cases like this will bring on an outbreak, and if Governor Black, in his conference with Secretary Alger shall decide to keep the Twelfth in the service, he will likely set the match to a mine. REVISION OF DREYFUS CASE Is Now Assured, the News papers Sav—-Saussier’s Re fusal of Portfolio. Paris, Sept. 6.—The Figaro says this morning that General Saussier refused to accept the war portfolio because he has been conencted, as military governor at Paris, with the Dreyfus case and he there fore considered that he should leave to an other the settlement of this matter. The newspapers confirm the report of the acceptance of the office by Zurlinden, the military governor of Paris, was due to Faure's insistance. Some of the papers praise his acceptance of the office under the existing difficulties of the situation, by attacking Cavaigna, the late minister of war, declaring that his action in re signing was tactless and illogical. The newspapers regard the revision of the Dreyfus case as assured. TEXAS CROP IS OFF. Letter Received in the City Today that Cotton is Off. Mr. H. J. Lamar received a letter today from a prominent farmer in Texas stating that “the four million bale crop is all off. Three weeks ago Texas promised the larg est cotton crop in her history. Since then drought in some parts, worms in some and rains in others have done the crop im mense damage so that in most parts of Texas only a half crop of cotton is now promised and our farmers are greatly dis couraged.” LANCHEIMER A CHAPLAIN. Washington, Sept. 6—The president has appointed First Lieutenant Charles H. Laucheimer, of the United States marine corps to be captain. EIGHT DIED TODAY. New York. Sept. 6—Eight men died at Camp Wikoff last night There are 891 in the hospital. Many left on furloughs and are convalescent, COUNTY BOARD FIKES On" State and County Taxes Will Amount to a Dollar and Fortv. HOCKED TEN CENTS OFF. Even as It Stands It Is the Highest Rate that Has Been Paid In this County for Years. The county commissioners met this morning and fixed the tax rate for Bibb county. The state and county’ tax rate for the year will 'be $1.40 on the thousand. This is 10 cents less than the commis sioners expected to make it. It was only after considerable discussion, however, that some of the members of the board who thought that the higher rate was nec essary to meet the expenses of the county would consent to the reduction from what they thought was the wisest course. This rate of $1.40 is the highest that the county has paid since the court house was built. That building put the taxes of the county up to $1.52, but they have not been anywhere near that figure since that time. Th erate of fourteen will be barely enough for the commissioners to squeeze through on but they hope 'to be able to keep the expenses down to he income. Considering the outlook and the condi tion of commerce and agriculture, the commissioners thought it was the wisest course they could pursue to save as much as possible to the property owners. The other matters before the board were in the line of routine and nothing of an important public nature was done. SENT A NEGRO AS PAYMASTER And a Texan Declined to Take His Pay at Negro’s Hands. Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 6 —Major R. R. Wright, colored, of Savannah, acting pay master, yesterday paid off the troops at Camp John B. Gordon to date. A sensational scene occurred while the operation of paying off the men of com pany G, Third Texas, was in progress. When Corporal Giddings’ name w r as called the corporal, a stalwart Texan, came for ward, but instead of taking his money as the others had done, gave the colored major a round of curses. “My father was commander of the de partment of Texas in the civil war,” the corporal exclaimed, “and I have too much good Southern blood in my veins to take my pay from a negro.” The corporal refused to take his pay. and this started a commotion in the camp that came near resulting seriously to the negro officer. The latter dispatched his clerk, also a negro, to Colonel Burgwyn’s headquarters, to ask that he be given a body guard. This was furnished. To in crease the excitement, a civilian, whose name could not be learned, mounted’ a barrel in the company street, and declaim ed loudly against placing negro superiors over white soldiers in the volunteer ser vice. The civilian orator was marched out of the camp lines by order of the colonel, and Major Wright completed his task under difficulties. To escape anticipated violence, Wright made his trips to and from the Island in the steam launch Charley :D., which he chartered. There is much Indignation among the soldiers over the fact that a negro was sent to pay them off. Under orders received Saturday, company G, Third Texas, Captain Lapowskl, broke camp at St. Simon’s this afternoon and left at midnight on a special train over the Plant system for Spofford Junction, Texas. The regiment will be mobilized at Fort Clark, Texas. Major Taylor, of this regiment, will remain at Camp Gordon for several days. FIRST REGIMENT. Fixing Up a Bath House in Knoxville for Sa- Jvannah Regiment. Knoxville, Sept. 6.—Colonel Lawton and his officers are proud of the appearance and behavior of the men during evening dress parade. Well they may be, for they are certainly a fine lot of fellows and well drilled. The band furnishes the music for this ceremony and does well. When the citizens of Knoxville realize what a splen did sight the evening dress parade is they will no doubt attend in large numbers. Imediately following dress parade of the First Georgia regiment the Thirty-first Michigan will hold its dress parade, thus giving visitors an opportunity of witness ing both regiments in formation. Work has commenced for the new bath house at the camp of the First Georgia. The bathhouse will be large and commo dious. built on the same principle as the one at Camp Bob Taylor. Water pipes will run overhead and will furnish a shower bath, the wather being forced out through slits filed in the pipes. This makes® an ex celent shower bath. PYTHIANS AND THEIR FAIR. It Will Be Held in Macon During the Carnival Week, The Knights of Pythias will give their postponed fair at the Castle Hall commenc ing October 10th and continuing for the whole of the carnival week. The committees are hard at work secur ing the contributions and already a large amount of good material has been given. This will be one of the biggest fairs that has ever been given in Macon and the as sistance of all the Knights of Pythias in the towns around Macon will be asked for and given. The fair will be given in the handsome hall of the castle on Mulberry street and it will be the virtual opening of this hall, which will be used during the winter for some of the principal events. The committees in charge of the under taking say that they are receiving every encouragement and that they have every reason to think that as a result of this fair the finances of the Pythian Castle As sociation will be completely renovated. MEETING TO 8E : HELDJONIGHT Exact Status of the Situation that Called for Mr. Horne’s Action. NO ATTACK INTENDED But Simply an Explanation of the Situation and Effort to Get Cheaper Paving. The meeting of the property owners of Macon called by Mr. Henry Horne at the Academy of Music at 8:30 o'clock tonight will be largely attended. It is expected that Mr. Horne will go into detail in connection with matters af fecting the paving of the city of Macon. Mr. Horne himself says that the public should in na ttnst of the w’ord construe this as a sensational attack on the city administration. He has undertaken to make an effort to secure cheaper paving for the city of Ma con. Whether he will be successful or not is another question. So far as asphalt is concerned he has voluntarily offered to reduce the bld made by the company which he represents, bring it down from $2.18 a square yard to $1.93 the square yard. He has evidences that there has been collusion between the brick and the rock paving people by which the price of this class of paving has been held up where it might have been done a a cheaper price had there been no collu sion. Having offered to reduce the cost of as phalt and having evidence that there has been collusion between the companies do ing the other paving and other parties that might have done it he has asked that the bids be re-opened and that the people be given an opportunity to get the same paving at a less cost. Mayor Price says that while this stand taken by Mr. Horne is all very well he has no evidence of collusion except the state ment of Mr. Horne. He advertised for bids for paving and awarded the contracts to the lowest bidder on rock and brick He cannot now, he says, re-open the blds without good, evidence that there is cause for doing so. He has not decided to use asphalt on any of the streets because he does n towant to take the responsibility of laying it at all in Macon, not being at all convinced that it is as cheap or as good a material as either rock or brick. So far as Mr. Horne’s reduction of his asphalt bid is concerned. Mr. Price nays that he has merely unofficial notice of this and that he cannot act on the proposition. It is so far merely a difference of opin ion as to the relative merit of asphalt and th” other materials. If Mr. Horne at the meeting tonight brings indisputable evi dence of collusion between our rock and the brick men, then a different aspect will have been put upon the matter. It is probable that at the meeting to night several matters of interest to the propery owners will 'be brought out, but it is not for an Instant to be expected says Mr. Horne that he is attempting to at tack the administration or to show that ■there has been any collusion between the city officials and other parties. He feels, however, that he has not been well treated by the mayor and council and has been placed in the attitude of having to make a heavy fight in order to gain his point. WILL BEIURILD AT ROSE HILL Tomorrow—Remains Will Ar rive at 11 O’Clock.
