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.

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. The bureau of information and the pub lic comfort committee, which are one and tbe same thing are a great institution. The police are doing duty well and in fact (Continued on Bth page.)

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.

ATJANTIAGO In Order to Prevent the Im portation of Sickness to a Healthv Place. STARVATION AMONG NATIVES Terrible Sights Among the Little Children and Those Who Have lSuffered During the War, 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. ANTHONY HOPE’S PLAY Was Eiiihusiastilally Received in London Last Night. By Associated Press.

It is prettily and artis tically mounted. ’Mr. Hope was called be fore the curtain and received an enocre. All the morning papers refer in terms of the highest praise to the production. The Times, however, says the play con tains a superfluity of dialogue and narra tive and can only be regarded as a step in Mr. Hope’s apprenticeship in the drama. KOI MI MBS? MUE m Meeting of the Trainmen in Atlanta Took Decisive Action. 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- HON. T J. CURLING. Chairman of Railroad Committee and Who Secured Cheej? Hatei. 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. COMPLIMENT TO BRAZIL. American Vessels Will Call on Them on Wav to China. ■ By Associated Press.
