Special to The News. Washington, Sept. B.—Senator Bacon had u long Interview thia morning with the provident relative to mustering out tho Georgia Lroope. He represented to the president the great importance of immediate action inor der that tho young men who had volunteer ed while the war was pending or going on, might tit once return to their business av ocations. He urged that either a certain proprotlon of the regiments should be mus tered out in their entirety, or that some general system Should be adopted by which the men whose business required it should be discharged and their places filled by recruits. The president, on the contrary, pointed out the importance and necessity of retain ing a certain number of the volunteers and that under this necessity some must be retained against their will. After a full diucursion, lasting nearly an hour, the president, consented to recognize Colonel Ray’s regiment «is a Georgia regi ment for the purpose of estimating the Georifla quota. Upon the basis of retaining one half of the volunteers, he decided to muster out two of the Georgia volunteer regiments find during the interview with Senator Bacon, the president sent for Adjutant General Corbin and ordered him to order the mustering of them out. This will be done without delay. The president requested Senator Bacon to designate the two regiments to be mus tered out, but the senator, however, de clined to do so, stating that he would not take (the responsibility of determining which regiment should be retained in the service where there were so many In each regiment who wished to be discharged and Where there were doubtless some in each regiment who wished to continue in the » service. So soon as tho designation of the regi ments to be mustered out is decided on, the officers and men will be given a fur lough of thirty days after which they will return and be paid off and mustered out.

The newspapers assert that the govern ment is greatly surprised and chagrined at the attitude of tho conservatives in the chamber, which indicates that the govern ments isolated questions of such magni tude as the conclusion of peace treaty. The papers express the opinion that this fore shadows the downfall of the ministry. CLEANING ;UP. General Boynton Will See that It Is Once More Clean. Chickamauga, Sept.

WILL BACON BE COMMISSIONER? • - - Some Talk in Washington to that Effect is Aroused By His Visit. Washington, Sept. B—Representative Quigg. of New York, spent some time with the president incidentally touching on the political conditions in New York state. Quigg said afterward that there is no further doubt as to the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt as the Republican can didate for governor. Quigg did not think that congress would embark on a congressional investigation on conduct of the war. A delegation from the north portion of Ohio saw the president as to furloughing the Second Ohio regiment camped at Knoxville. The men are anxious to get back home and while the mustering out is in expedient it is probable that they will be furloughed from time to time to re lieve the strain of protracted eamp life. A call by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, led to some conjecture as to the choice of a Democratic member of the peace commis sion. The senator declined to discuss the call, except to say it did not relate to the commissionership. General Miles’ return to Washington has led to considerable corridor talk as to what course will be adopted relative to the general's published criticism. Officially, however, nothing is said on the subject. THE MACON “TvE WS. BODIES CAME DP WITHJHE TIDE General Wheeler’s Son and Other Young Officer Who Were Drowned. CLOTHES OF A THIRD MAN.

B—Although the Corbett-McCoy mill has been postponed until October 15, the final change was not made without friction, and considerable ugly talk has followed. W. B. Gray charges that J. J. Corbett got his agreement to a change by a falsehood. Corbett claimed that the Buffalo people had agreed to the switch, and Gray then acquiesced. After the new date had been sanctioned all around the assertion was made that Cor bett had not seen anyone In Buffalo, and that his declaration to that effect was false. W. B. Gray minced no words In refer ring to Corbett. He was very sore and in timated that Corbett would dodge the fight ont the 15th. That statement brough from Mr. George Considine the promise: "He will be in the ring even if I have to carry him there.” "Well, you may net have to carry him Into the ring,” retorted Gray, "but you will have to carry him out.” Gray also wired the Hawthorne Club this caustic message: “Corbett has lied to us. He told us you agreed to a postponement until October 15. It makes no difference as to his dis reputable course. We will postpone the fight. Announce the postponement. We will try and make him be on hand on that date." There may be a Corbett-Gray inci dent Ask for the Original Ladies’ Beauty Pin. Five gross just re ceived. Warranted by the makers.

PEOPLE'S PARTY COMBINATION Silver Republican, Democrats and Populists Unite Uu der a Common Head. ALL ENDORSE COL. BRYAN. Calling Him the Matchless Tribune of the People and Denounce Republicans. Ellensburg, Wash., Sept. 8. —The confer ence committee of the three parties, Demo cratic, Populist and Silver Republicans, whose state conventions are now in pro gress, resumed their sessions today. The only conclusion yet reached is that the ticket is to be known as the People’s Party ticket, and the Democrats and Silver Re publicans are each to have a congressman. The platform reaffirms allegiance to the Chicago platform and fidelity 'to the lead ership of that matchless tribune of the people, William Jennings Bryan. It denounces the Republican party and its leadens for its hypocracy. Insincerity and duplicity in pretending ,in the national conventon of 1896 to favor the free coinage of silver by an international agreement. It renews the demand for the free coin age of both silver and 'gold at a legal ratio of 16 to 1. It denounces as unfair and bit terly partisan the discrimination, of the present secretary of Was as carried out by his department against the volunteers from the state in requiring them to remain at home while troops in vast numbers from the easter nstates were transported at enormous expense across the continent and forwarded to the seat of war at Ma nila.

MEET TOGETHER. The Grand Army Got Down to Busi ness this Morning After Three Days of Display. Cincinnati, Sept. B—The business of the thirty-second annual encampment of the G. A. R. and Its auxiliaries began today after three day’s of preliminary demons trations. The business sessions were, however, In terrupted by the parade of the civic and industrial organizations in the afternoon after the labor, naval and grand army parades on the three preceding days. About 1,200 national delegates were present when the encampment proper was called to order in the music hall at 10 a. m. with Charles Wentzell, the officer of the day. The welcome address was deliv ered by Governor Bushnell with a sup plemented welcome address by Mayor Tafel, of Cincinnati, and M. E. Ingalls, chairman of the Citizens committee and president of the Big Four and Chesapeake and Ohio railways. In response, Commander-in-chief Gobtn referred eloquently to the attractions of the week and the lavish entertainment of the citizens of Cincinnati. Director General Mellsh also made a felicitous address of welcome. At the con clusion of these preliminaries the great hall was cleared of all but the members entitled to a voice in the proceedings. Many were the reports submitted. The encampment has much work In consider ing the proposition for a revision of the ritual and propositions for amalgamation. It is believed the proposition make those who participated in the Hispania-American war eligible will not prevail as the latter day soldiers will want a separate organi zation. There was more sentiment in favor of uniting those who fought on the differ ent sides in the same war and a resolution will be offered inviting the Confederate veterans to meet with the G. A. R. next year. The Missouri delegation is likely to pre sent a resolution as that state was about equally divided during the civil war. It is now stated that General Sickles has been named In god faith as a candidate for eommander-in-chief as the means of unit ing the New York delegates. It is also .stated that the name of I. ,F. -Mack, of Ohio will not be presented by the Ohio delegates. MYSTERIOUS CRIME Indicated by the Finding of a Dead Body at Muncie, Ind. Muncie, Ind., Sept. B—The dead body of William Stall, a respected laborer, was found upon the sidewalk almost in front of his home, at an early hour Saturday morning. All the indications at hand point to mur der, and that the murderer had calmly washed the blood from Stall’s face. Stall was seen walking toward his home at a late hour, 'but no other clew has been found. A blunt instrument or sandbag had been used judging from the nature of the wounds upon the man’s head. Stall was industrious for a man 53 years of age, and as a gold watch and a quantity of money were found in his pockets un molested, the theory of murder with in tent to rob him has abandoned, and an air of mystery surrounds the case.

LOUIS Collected a Check for Ten Thousand at of Two Revolvers, Chicago, Sept. B.—Wm. R. McFarland, of the horse commission firm of McFarland & Evans,, of St. Louis, today walked into the office of Louis Newgtass & Son, stock yards, and presenting a revolver to the head of Louis Newgass, -the junior member of the firm, commanded him to send for his cash ier, Frank Mosely. Upon the apearance of Mosely, McFar land drew another revolver and ordered the cashier to draw a check in his favor for 110,416, which he claimed the firm owed him. When the cashier had finished making out the check McFarland calmly instructed Newgass, at the same time giving a me nacing flourish to the weapons, to affix his signature to the paper. That done the man from East St. Louis lined the two frighten ed men up against the wall of the office and with all the solemnity of a judge, ad ministered an oath to them to the effect that they would not follow him or raise any outcry.

The check was drawn on the National Live Stock Bank, and police captain, Lavin, immediately dispatched two detec tives to the bank. McFarland was standing at the cashiers window with the check in his hand when the officers entered. He was so intent on changing the check for currency that he failed to notice the detectives until they seized him. McFarland was quickly disarmed and a few minutes later was behind the bars.

NEW ELECTRIC POWER HOUSE Work Will Be Commenced by Macon and Indian Springs People, FINE MODERN EQUIPMENT Macon Will Have a Building and Plant Equal to Any to Be Found in the South. Work on a new electric power house will soon commence. In fact all the plans have been made and it is the intention of the Macon and Indian Spring Street Railway Company to start the work as soon as the Southern railway puts in a spur track which ’will be necessary while the work of building is going on and afterwards. The electric light plant and good win of the Macon Gas Light and Water Company was recently purchased bythe Macon and Indian Spring Street Car people. At that time the plant was in such condition that it was acknowledged by the old company that It would be impossible for them to carry out their contracts with the city and with the business people of the town un less they put in a new plant. This the old company would have done or it would have repaired the old plant so as to make it practical for the contracts to be carried out. When the new purchasers took charge they found that it would be absolutely necessary to put in an entirely new plant and this they have made arrangements to do as soon as the building is erected. The work will be pushed rapidly -and when the whole is complete Macon will have as fine electric light power plant as there is in the South. The new building will be erected in the rear of the present car shops of the Macon and Indian Spring Street Car Company. It is near Rose Hill cemetery, but in the hollow and just where it will not be in a degree a detriment to the place. In fact it is the intention of the company to put up a building that will be a credit to the city not only in point of capacity but ar chitecture. The Southern Railway is making ready to put in the track to the new power house. It will run from the main line up the valley to the building and in this way the company will be able to get its mate rial quickly and with greater economy than it could be secured at most any other point. It is the Intention of the management to give to Macon a thoroughly, modern electric lighting and power plant -and they will be so equipped as to be able to supply any -amount of power that may be required for manufacturing enterprises. This is the best news that iMacon has heard for some time. The electric re sources of the city have been sadly defi cient and have been entirely inadequate to supply the demand. For this reason a number of enterprises have hesitated about locating in Macon, but with the new company equipped as is the intention of its management there will no longer be any cause for the slightest complaint.
