A heavy gale is blowing and the air is full of snow, mailing the operations on th* 1 lake difficult.

DEMONSTRATION By NtWL FORCE I May Be Necessary Before the Spanish Commissioners ! Submit to Our Terms. WANTS THE WHOLE GROUP. Merritt is Not Content With Taking One Island—lmportant Cable Message from Chairman Day. By Associated Press. (New York, Oct. 5. —A special to the Herald from Washington says: As a result of a consultation at the Whitehouse between the president, Secre tary Hay and Secreary Long, fresh in structions regarding the Philippines have been wired, to the American commissioners 1n Paris. They do not materially alter the instructions given to the delegates be fore leaving for France, but are on a new point brought up since the consultation of Major General Merritt with the Ameri can? representatives. A cipher dispatch was received by Sec retary Hay regarding the matter, and he considered the question so important that he at once went to the whitehouse and laid It before the president. (President McKin ley sent for Secretary Long and shortly af terwards Assistant Secretary of State Adee was called to the executive mansion. These officials were closeted more than an hour. All of the officials who participated in the conference are reticent but it was ad mitted that the consultation was held to discuss a dispatch from Chairman Day re garding the Philippines. It was ascertained that the program the commission is following requires the dispo sition of the- Archipelago before any other questions are considered. The president has been informed of General Merritt’s views in favor of the retention of all the islands, but the fresh instructions do not affect the demand for the .island of Luzon and revisionary rights over the remainder M the group. They relate more to a mat ter of detail and are intended to equip the American commissioners in case thhy should haise the point in the reply to the formal demand presented by Mr. Day. This reply is expected on Friday, and the adjournment of the commission for such a short time is regarded by Mr. Day and the administration as indicating that the com mission’s work will soon be completed. It is reeonized that the Philippines will 'be the bone of contention and that once they were out of the way it will be pretty plain sailing in the matter of the cession of Guam, Cuba, Porto Rico and the remain ing Spanish West Indies to the United States. Mr. Day Is empowered, however, to inter rupt the commission's work at any time tn case he should find that Spain is either unwilling to agree to the demands of this government or disposed unnecessarily to delay the commission’s work and a naval demonstration will follow which the au thorities are satisfied will bring the Madrid government to its senses. Senor Fllpe Agoncillo, the representative of the insurgents commanded by Aguinal do, will be permitted to lay before the com slon any facts he which may be desire to present and the American commissioners have been advised of his coming. WILL SUBMIT TO OUR CONTROL. The Filipinos Are Anxious to Try Self Gov ; ernment. By Associated Press. New York. Oct. 5. —A special to the Tri bune from Washington says: Senator William E. Chandler has just ended a brief visit to Washington, return ing to his home in New Hampshire and expecting to remain in that state until af ter the election. Before his departure the senator said in relation to the Philippine question: “Since the arrival of Senor Filipe Agon cillo and his secretary. Senor Sixto Lopez, of Manila. I have had several extended in terviews with Agoncillo and have endeav ored to familiarize myself with his plans. He represents President Aguinaldo and the parliamentary government of which he is at the head. His first desire is that the treaty of Paris shall provide that Spain shall wholly relinquish the Philippine Is lands, and secondly, he is anxious that the experiment of self-government may be tried by the people of the islands with the assent and assistance of the United States. “It seems very clear that the people of the island will not again submit to Span ish rule from which they are now actually freed thoughout nearly their w’hole terri tory, and that therefore if the United Stat*s ; forces shall be withdrawn and Spain should attempt to resubdue the islands, a bloody struggle would ensue, the existence of which would dishonor the United States. “‘Assuming such a withdrawal to be im possible and that the United States will Insist upon the surrender of Spanish sov ereignty, the natural question would be whether the people are capable of the self government to which they aspire.. Senor Agoncillo asserts his belief and insists that if by any possibility it turns out that he is mistaken the people will be willing to be guided by the United States to any other just solution of the important problem of government which will arise upon-the ex tinguishment of the power of Spain. “I hope the American peace commission ers at Paris will find it possible to ac complish the one great object stated, name ly. the abandonment of the islands by Spain. If that can be done I feel certain that there can be no serious difficulties en countered in deciding any further question that may immediately arise as to the con trol. government and disposition of the is lands, judging from the insight which I ■ have had from General Agoncillo into the desires and purges of President Aguinal do and his associates.” SLEW THEM BOTH.

Great Opportunity Offered bv Germanv for Americans. By Associated Press. New York, Oct 5. —A special to the Tri bune from Washington says: This is a good year to send American fruits, especially apples, to Germany. The European fruit crop is anything but good, according to Consul Monaghan, of Chem nitz. In >a report to the state department he says: “If the merchants will not repeat the folly of former years by sending fruit that decays easily, they can command these markets for years against all efforts to dis lodge them. If (Baldwins, Greenings, Rus sets and other hardy winter apples .are sent the results will not remain doubtful. Other •apples will not pay for transportation. Had our apple merchants made even a half hearted effort to enter this market in 1806 they would now be beset with orders. “•So serious is the situation here because of the dullness in grain markets and so decided is the downward tendency of prof its in the empire’s wheat production that farmers are turning to fruit to eke out an existence. The general union of agricultu ral societies has set itself the task to bring about better methods of handling fruits. “Germans, as a rule, have gone in for quantities rather than qualities, letting their fruit trees run to wood rather than to fruit. If American fruits are properly selected, carefully packed and rapidly transported there is no reason why this permanent market may not .be opened all over Europe. WILL CONDUCT CAFE.

By Associated Press. New York. Oct. 5 —A special to the Her ald from Washington says: President McKinley and Secretary of the Navy Long have determined to recommend to congress the revival of the grade of vice admiral to be filled by the promotion of Rear Admiral Dewey. President McKinley in his annual mes sage and Secretary Long in his annual report intend to devote considerable space to the achievements of the Asiatic squad ron under the command of Rear Admiral Dewey and the splendid judgment and di plomatic tact that officer has displayed in handling the many difficult questions which arose before rhe arriva' of the American troops and the capture of Ma nila. As under existing law Rear Admiral Dewey will reach the retiring age in De cember. 1893, there is a strong probabil ity that Secretary Long will also urge that congress pass a law' permitting the reten tion of that officer upon the active list for an additional ten years.' A law permitting such action in the case of officers receiving the thanks of congress for gallant conduct in the civil war is now on the statute books, but the authorities would be glad to see the law changed so that officers of the recent and future wars be similarly rewarded.

ALLEN CANDLER; BIGJWAJORITY He is Getting a Handsome Vote All Over State Con sidering the Apathv. I WOODWARD IS WINNING : In the Municipal Fight in Atlanta—- He Was Well Ahead at One? O’clock Today. By Associated Press. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. s—The5 —The election for state officers is progressing quietly throughout the state. The dispatches up to 1 o’clock indicate a small vote. No disturbances anywhere. The Populist’s. VAiry weak fight has taken away the only interest there was to tho contort CandKi’o majority for governor •will be large. In Atlanta an otherwise quiet day en livened by a warm contest in the primary for mayor, two candidates are James G. Woodward and E. W Martin. The form-.r enjoys the distinction of being a tetotaler but not a prohibitionist, all of which has a bearing on the efforts said to be making to lengthen the hours during which the saloons may keep open. Woodward does not favor the lengthen ing of the hours but will submit such a plan to the council for a vote. Martin is recognized generally as a ma chine candidate and opposed any increase in saloon hours. The campaign is very bitter. The Aus tralian ballot, used in the primaries the .first’time in the state and its success is assured. The general use in all «elections is be lieved to be assured. The contest for Mayor is very close with Woodward ahead in all the wards except the Second at 1 o’clock. APATHY IN 8188. A Very Small Vote Will Re Cast in this County. The election which is on today is one of the quietest that has occurred in years. The Democrats have no opposition at all and only a few voters have registered. The voting all the morning has been compara tively light and only a few votes have been cast. Information from the districts wit of the city is to the effect that the voting at those places is also light. The fact that the Populists have no can didate in the field is •probably the reason • that the Democrats are* not coming out. Only a small crowd has been at the court house during the day and it is expected that the vote cast in the county will not ■amount to over a thousand. The number of voters who registered is only about 2,500. An old citizen in speaking of the ab sence of the crowds from the polls said: “This is the quitest election that has been held in the county in some time. I remember the time when it was necessary to fight your way to the window in order to put in your ticket, but today it is en tirely different.” Following are the men in charge of the polling places throughout the county: County ‘Court House —Judge J. A. ' Thomas. Findlay’s Foundry—J. O. McMillan. East (Macon —C. C. Balkcom. Godfrey—G. A. Hendricks. Rutland —Robert A. Johnston. Hazard —J. T. D. McPherson. Warrior —J. F. Hamlin. Howard —C. I. McCarthy. Bibb will probably poll a small vote to day as compared with other counties In which there is opposition. The election in Atlanta today will be warm as there are three different tickets ■ to be elected. The Populists seem to have died out in •Bibb county and in the neighboring sec tions, as there is no opposition from them. There was a great deal of inquiry at the polling places this morning in regard to i the tickets. Some were at a loss to under stand the way in which they were meant to read. It seems that a majority of the people who east votes at the polling places this morning were in favor of electing the judges and solicitors by the people and re ports from the out of town voting places [ are the same thing. There seems to be no doubt about that amendement being car ried. The people all over the state are in favor of the amendment,- and Bibb county will surely go in its favor. •So far there has been no disturbance of any kind and everything, has passed off smoothly. Up until 3 o'clock the voting at the polls in the city was as follows: Court House, 135. East Macon. 61. • Findlay’s Foundry, 55. From the above it is thought that not over 700 or a 1,000 votes will be cast in the county, which is a very por record for Bibb county to make. THROUGH THE SIXTH. Baldwin the Only County Where Any Par ticular Interest is Shown. Throughout the Sixth district the same apathy seems to exist. In none of the counties except Baldwin are the Populists even making things interesting, but there the reports say the fight is decidedly inter esting. The registration there was about even between the two parties. A report received in Macon at noon today says that the Democrats have every reason to be hopeful of success and that they will in ali probability win the fight before the day is out. The voting in that county Ls rapid and a fairly full vote will be cast. In Butts county there is no ©position to the regular ticket, The registration there was fairly good but the voting is slow. Jones county will return Judge Barron to the legislature and will score a Democratic victory over a slight ©position from the Republicans and Populists. Monroe county has a contest. A per sonal fight has been made in that county on the nominee for the legislature on the Democratic ticket, Mr. Castleburry, and it •is thought that pershaps he might have haff some difficulty, but his election seems to be a foregone conclusion this morning. Upson county has a contest and the vot ing is fairly brisk, but Represntative Ty singer's frineds say that fee will certainly win out. In Pike county there is somfe fighting room, but here too the Democrats will come out on top. The voting is fairly good. Fayette finds some ©position to stir up the sluggard blood of the voters. Here the brothers Blalock are running, the one for the legislature and the other for the sen ate. They will win out easily. The regis tration was good and the voting satisfac ' tory. Henry county will return Paul Turner to the legislature. There Is no contest in the county and everything is quiet. Altogether the district will roll together a very nice Democratic majority. Con gressman Bartlett will go back without any opposition. j There have been no reports of any dis turbances at any of the polls in the dis trict and it seems as if the day would be about the most quiet that the district has ever known. Baldwin is the only place that lends any particular spice to the re turns. SOUTH MACON. Change of the Time of Meeting for Jones Chapel .Cemetery.

The “feast of booths” is in commemora tion of the time the children of Isreal were In the winderness and were forced to live i.i booths. It is a very solemn time with the Jewish people and is rigidly observed by aia .e in u ber of them. Many, to fully bring the matter to mind, erect tents or booths in their yards and live in them all during the time of the feast. This was the case in several instances in Savannah. The end of the observance is marked by rejoicing. This will be Octiber 8, when this rejoicing will bring the celebration to a close. AL G. FIELD Will Be the Carnival Attraction at the Academy. The Atlanta Constitution says: When the curtain went up last night at the Grand the largest audience •'that has ever assembled in the beautiful playhouse greeted Al. G. Field and his minstrels. The performance began with a vim and smoothness that made every one feel that the big comerian had in store many good things for his friends. The singing is particularly good and showed the able directorship of 'Will Wal ling, the famous lyric tenor.* Rets Piosser sang “Have You Never Wished Me Back Again?” with much feel ing. Tommy Donnelly grought down the house with “I Want My Lu Lu.” Others have attempted to sing it, but none can touch him in this. iDpc Quigley, the best comic dancer seen herein many a day, was seen in a turn that is wonderful. The specialties are spe cially fine. Everhardt is wonderfully clever as a juggler. His manipulation of some hoops attracted much attention and won enthusiastic applause. The big audience was kepi in a continual roar during the •absurdity "On to Cuba.” It is by far the funniest plence that Field has ever given us. Ai Field was excellent as the negro cook. Gruet, Beers and Gruet did an eccentric knock-about turn that kept he audience highly amused. Arthur Rigby gave a very clever mono logue sketch. Busch and Lelliott’s musi cal sketch was excellent. The Faust family of acrobats are probably the best ever seen on our local stage. The performance closes with a laughable shadowgraph pan tomime. The review of the performance would not be complete without a word of praise for the interlocutor, Dan Quinlan. He is certainly well called the prince of inter locutors. DEVOTED TO LADIES’' Neckwear.

PRICE THREE CENTS SEVENTY-FIVE LIVES ARE LOST Reports from the Storm Dis trict on the Coast Are Worse Than Ever. TURPENTINE ALL LOST Jessup Was Badly Damaged and the Loss There Will Amount to Ten Thousand Dollars. By Associated Press. Brunswick, Oct. 5. —News from the storm stricken coast is coming slowly. Probably seventy-five Ilves were lost and the damage to property and shipping can not. be estimated. There are many rumors of loss of life from all quarters, but all are believed to ba exaggerated. Many of those who bring in news left the scene of the storm during its height and consequently cannot be expected to (bring accurate information. In this city four lives were lost and a boat from Fernandina brings the report that, fifty people were drowned there, but this cannot be confirmed. Campbell's Island, inhabited by forty ne gro cotton growers, was swept by the storm and doubtless many were drowned, but au thentic information is lacking. TURPENTINE RUINED.

Some time in December the Cotton Growers’ Union will have a general meet ing in New Orleans, according to present plane, which will be the most important gathering of cotton growers held in tho south for several years. The Cotton Growers’ Union was organ ized in Memphis recently to succeed the National Cotton Growers’ Protective Asso ciation. The union was organized along different lines, one of the principal feat ures being that there will be sub-organ izations all over the south. In some sec tions the movement to organize has al ready been started. Recently South Caro lina farmers held a meeting and organized for their state. The meeting was largely attended and much interest, was mani fested in the new organization. Tiff? exist- * ence of yellow fever in (Mississippi and Louisiana has to some extent retarded tho work of organizing in those states, and also in Alabama, though there is no fever in that state. As soon as the quarantines are done away with the cotton growers will become active, and by the time of the proposed meeting in New Orleans it is thought there will be perfect organizations in "Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama as lyell as Tennessee. The 'New Orleans meeting has not been, definitely decided upon as yet, though it is practically assured. The founders of the Cotton Growers’ Union hope to make it the biggest meeting of cotton growers ever held. The Cotton Growers’ Union was the outcome of the Memphis meeting, which was attended only by a few of the mem bers of the old organization, those in at tendance .'being vice presidents mostly. They believe' that a Southern farm organ ization could be formed that would prove of great benefit to the individual farmer, and the plan is to get as many little and big planters in the sub-organization as is possible. The New Orleans meeting will take up the general plans of the Cotton •Growers’ Union. No definite plans have been made for the meeting yet, as it has not been formaly called.
