Last Night Turned Away Nearly a
Thousand People —Notes of the
Carnival and Some Visit
ors Here Today,
The Diamond Jubilee Carnival is a suc
ce.-s, a tremendous success. It i 3 the big
gost thing that has ever been attempted in
Georgia and the people of th whole state
are enjoying it.
A fair estimate of the visitors to the city
this*morning would be 30,000 people and
they are still coming in on every 'train.
Ala eon has never before seen such
crowds. The line of march of the flora]
parade was lined and thronged with peo
ple this morning.
For many blocks the mass cf people was
impasable. A fairer day for such an oc
casion could not possibly have been hoped
for. The state is thoroughly represented.
Every feature of 'the great Carnival is
passing off without a hitch. Last night
the fire works display and the battle of
(Manila given by Pain was fully satisfac
tory and came up to the expectation of
those who were present and at least
eight thousand people were inside the in
closure.
Such a throng was entirely unexpected
even by the iPain people themselves. At
least 500 people went back home unable to
get inside, let alone get seats and as rhany
more were standing up and occupying
every possible space.
Notwithstanding this Field played to a
good audience at the Academy of Music

pie all night. At 2 o'clock this morning
the streets were lively and every incoming
train brought its loads of humanity.
The small boy is in his glory. The fakir
is happy and all the attendants of a crowd
are in their element. Notwithstanding
tome cf the drawbacks that are offered
in pickpockets and slight annoyances the
crowd is a happy one and Macon is getting
more credit than she has ever reaped be
fore.
The merchants, too, have nothing to
complain of. They are as busy as bees
in a dozen tar buckets and realize that it
is such reunion as this that go to make a
town.
And with it ail the visitors are warned
that the Carnival committees have not
got well down to their work yet. There
is still much to come and some of it is
even better than what has been seen to
day, hard though it may be to believe it.
yesterday afternoon tbe grand stand at
the park was well filled with the enthu
siastic admirers of the crack-a-jacks that
have been brought here to try conclusions
on the best track in the country.
Some excellent racing marked the open
ing meet of the circuit and there is still
better to follow.

ANIMATED DISCUSSION
Took Place Among the Commission
ers at Yesterday’s Session of
the Joint Board,
By Associated Prees.
Paris, Oct. 12.—The sitting yesterday of
the joint peace commissions of the United
States and Spain was devoted, according
to the Gaulois, to an examination of the
solution which it is possible to give to
two questions in the protocol.
The Philippines question, the Gaulois
adds, was discussed incidentally, the Uni
ted States commissioners seeking to im
pose a system of compensation for claims
connected with the entire group by as
suming the debt, provided Spain guaran
tees the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it further appears, wish
the United States to assume ■ the Cuban
debt and hand over to Spain all the war
material in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The discussion, according to the Galouis.
is very animated. Judge Day, president of
the American commission and Senor Mon
tero, president of the Spanish commission,
having revived precise instructions from
their respective govrnments, the AmeTi
cans consider that they cannot discuss the
principles forming the base of the proto
col. to which the Spaniards reply that the
protocol was signed at a critical moment
and under so pressing necessity that it
cannot be considered as expressing the
sovereign will of the nation.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 2.—Gens. Lawton
and Wood are seriously considering the
advisability of establishing quarantine
against vessels coming here from infected
ports, as they claim that for its size San
tiago de Cuba is one of the healthiest
ports in the West Indies.
There is absolutely no yellow fever and
the calentura fever is under complete con
trol and Gen. Lawton does not think it
right to have his healthy men subjected
to contagion from strangers coming from
infected parts.
The death rate is now but 15 per day
and when the fact is taken into considera
tion that 'the population is composed in the
•main of people who have been brought to
the verge of starvation, who have been
living in an atmosphere of filth and bad
smells, whei*e every effort has been put
forth by the authorities apparently to
breed malaria and where every other man
you meet looks as though he had but a few
day* to live, where children up to IS or
14 wander around more or less in a state
of nudity, every bone showing, often with
arms and legs no round than the
neck or' a bottle, it is wonderful to think j
that tbe death rate can be so low and the j
condition speaks volumes for the sanitary !
orders enforced by Gen. Wood.

All the morning papers refer in terms

The Times, however, says the play con

in Mr. Hope’s apprenticeship in the drama.

Meeting of the Trainmen in
Atlanta Took Decisive

IN WHITE IN'S HI
And ft Will Not Be Tolerated by the
Organization—An Important
Movement.
Special to The News.
Atlanta, Oct 12. —Negro firemen and train
men must make way or white men on rail
roads in the South.
The four great railroad unions have de
cided to use their influence in this direc
tion, and the immense power 'they wield
will doubtless have the desired effect.
This subject was precipitated in union
meeting of 'railroad men yesterday by
Frank P. Sargent, grand master of the
Broiherhood cf Locomotive Firemen, and
it was again brought up before the meet
ing of members of the orders last night.
The question is one of importance and far
reaching interest. The sentiment of the
railroad men is in exposition to the employ
ment of colored men as locomotive firemen
and trainmen. This was evidenced by the
ringing aplause of the remarks of Mr.
Sargent on the subject yesterday, and
again last night when Grand Master Mor
■risey took up the subject. Both denounc
ed the existing custom and declared that
the best work 'that can be taken up by the
railroad men of the South is along the
line of putting white men in the place of
negroes on the railroad trains. The quee-

tion is of interest principally to Southern
members of the orders, and it is especially
noteworthy that the agitation 'and precipi
tation of the discussion was made by the
northern men, the executive officers of the
brotherhoods, who come from Illinois.
They take up the cause of the members of
their organization and encourage them in
this movement, which has, for some time,
been quietly under way.
This subject came up unexpectedly. It
■was the feature of the union meeting, and
it will bear fruits. The agitation of the
question, now that it is under way by
movement of the grand chiefs, will con
tinue, and the railroad men of the South
will make every effort to obtain the co
operation of the railroad managers of the
South in replacing the colored firemen and
train hands with white men.
PEARY’S STEAMER.
Her Non-Arrival Has Caus'd Considerable
Uneasiness.
By Associated Press.
St. Johns, N. F., Oct. 12. —Some anxiety
is being felt here because of the non-ar
rival of Lieut. Peary’s Arctic steamer, the
Windward, which is now due on her re
turn from Sherard Osborne Fird, west of
Greenland, where it was planned that she
should land Lieut. Peary and the mem
bers of the expedition.
Capt. John Bartlett, in command of the
Windward, wrote to his friends by the
auxiliary steamer Hope, which accom
panied the Windward as far north as
Littleton Island, that he expected to bring
the Windward back about, the first week
in October.
Sherard Osborne Fird is about two hun
dred miles further .north than Lieut.
Peary's previous anchorage. On August
16 he was at Etah, near the entrance to
Smith's Sound. In a letter written on that
date he seemed to imply that he was about
to proceed up the sound.
