• tIM PHRASE
OF SETTLEMENT
Is Being Discussed Today in
Paris in Earnest by Com
mission.
■ JOINT SESSION BEING HELD
Will Not Necessarily Accept Either
of the Propositions Made by
the Spanish.
By Associated Press.
Paris, Oct. 14 —Commander Bradford, of
the United States navy, who has arrived
here from Washington, was examined this
morning by members of the United States
peace commission relative to the conditions
prevailing and the main features of inter
<st at the Philippine islands, with which
the commander is well acquainted.
Th< fifth joint session of the two com
missions convened at 2 o’clock today. It
may be said that the first, second and third
meetings scarcely penetrated the surface
of any protocol point and less still the
marrow.
Last Tuesday, however, marked the
Spanish presentment regarding the Cuban
debt which has during the recess brought
the Americans to serious preparations for
the adjustment of their diplomatic forces
and the formulation of the plan upon
which they may ultimately stand in rela
tion to the Cuban phase of their mission
here.
It is not unlikely that since Tuesday’s
meeting the Americans, who have been
exceedingly busy, have determined upon
their attitude towards the Spanish propo
sition that the United States assume he
Cuban debt in whole or in part, and that
it has been reduced to writing for prest n
tation to the Spaniards at today's session,
placing the American view broadly a” to
what proportion of the Cuban debt is fair
ly chargeable to the island as legal and
bcntficlal thereto and what proportion is
to be charged to Spain as beneficiary of
the so-called Cuban debt.
A hasty conclusion, however, should not
be drawn from the fact that this careful
weighing of the Spanish proposition by the
Americans means that they accept either
alternative classification of the Cuban
obligation, but that rather they are acting
on a line and with a purpose to meet every
point, raised as exhaustively as presented.
They have thoroughly traversed the Cu
ban debt views and the proposals submit
t< d in writing today and there will be
either an oral discussion today or a writ
t< n interchange views at the next meet
ing.

In the Phillipines and Heavy
Fighting;.
Bv Associated Press.

inces of the Philippines, has rebelled

has already taken place between -the op

VISITING COMMITTEES
For the Schools Appointed at Kast Meet
ing of Board.
The visiting committees to the public
schools wtre appointed at the last meet
ing of the board of education and Superin
tendent Abbott gave them out this morn
wig, They are asfollows:
Gresham High school, Fort Hawkins
and East Macon, colored, Washington
Dessau and J. H. Hertz.
Nisbet school, Vineville school .and Pleas
ant Hill (colored) school, R. M. Rogers
« and W. F. Holt.
South Macon school and Green street

school. W. T. .Morgan and R. A. Nisbet.
It is the duty of the visitors to visit
ea -h school at least once a month and
make a report to the board at the next
regular sesion after the visit.
Supt. Abbott is well pleased with the
work of the schools so far this year and
says that the elementary course is one of
the best in the country. One of the oldest
lady principals in the city schools said this
morning that the elementary course in the
school fitted the child in every point and
that when a pupil left the grammar
schools they had some idea as to the dig
nity of office and the rights of citizen
ship.
In seven schools of the city there is a
splendid • library organized only by the
efforts of the teachers and pupils. Not
a dollar has been contributed from’ the
outside. The libraries contain only the
best hooks and are a great help to the
pupils.
It is not always disagreeable to be
•watched. It is never so when the watch
comes from Stevens’ jewelry store, Sec
ond street.

STRONG ARTICLE
ON GOOD SUBJECT
Endorsement °f an Article in
The News Carnival Edi
tion by Mrs Platt.
MRS. WILLINGHAM'S VIEWS
Find a Strong Supporter in Mrs,
Platt, President of the Denver
Club.
Mrs. E. J. Willingham has a finely writ
ten article in the Diamond Jubilee edition
of the News oh the subject of Macon wo
men patronizing home Industrie*. Apro
pos of the same idea which Mrs. Willing
ham had so cleverly expressed and advoca
ted, is the following from Harper’s Bazar:
“Mrs Sarah Platt, the new vice presi
dent of the Denver Woman’s club, has a
novel scheme to present to the thousand
wofiien of the last named organization at
the opening meeting in October. Not. only
as the plan out of the ordinary, but so
practical as to sugg.st to other clubs en
tirely new lines of endeavor. This special
presentation of the plan is to be called
‘Colorado Products -Day.’
“ 'To make a long story short,’ enthusi
astically explained Mrs. Platt recently,
‘the idea is to get Denver club women to
pledge themselves to purchase Colorado
made goods. It is my opinion that the
future of our city is in the balance, and it
remains with the women to decide whether
the thousands of dollars that are expended
annually out side of the state shall not
be left within our borders. For instance
Colorado paid SIOO,OOO last year for starch
made out side the state, and I contend,
by encouraging home manufactures, mat
amount might as well be turned'into Colo
rado pockets.’
Mrs. Platt maintained that the club wo
men could work wonders, and told a story
in illustration. ‘Take shoes,’ she said.
‘The Denver dealers won’t keep Denver
made shoes, because the Denver women
won’t buy them, simply for the reason
they are home made. So six of my friends
started out on a little tour of encourage
ment. We arranged co visit singly every
shoe store in the city and ask for Denver
made shoes. In each instance, of course,
the salesman politely said he was sorry,
but the firm did not carry them, because
their customers preferred other makes.
The last man I visited,’ concluded Mrs.
Platt, ‘looked limp when I asked for Den
ver made shoes. ‘We don’t keep them,
madam,’ he declared, in exasperation,
‘but by Heaven, we will!’ and they did.’
“Provided the club women take the
pledge, (Mrs. IFl'att’s plan is to have the
home manufacturer of everything from
cambric to crackers, apear in turn each
week before the City Improvement Soci
ety, which is an offshoot of the Woman’s
Club, and show how the particular pro
duct is made, how many people are em
ployed, and so on. If it is as good as the
market affords, then the women are to buy
•it in preference to any’ other.
“With Mrs. Platt, this project is simply
a matter of patriotic duty. Not only does
she believe in sustaining her city at home
but also in exploiting it abroad, and to
this end she has bought up a lot of beau
tifully illustrated books on Denver to send
as Christmas presents to friends beyond
Colorado.
♦ * ♦
The Atlanta Constitution has the follow
ing:
“Miss Callie Jackson, who represents
Atlanta tonight in the pageant and ball to
conclude the social side of the Macon Car
nival, is a distinguished beauty, typical of
the fairest type of Southern woman. She
-is tall and majestic in her bearing, with a
face patrician in its delicacy of feature.
She will be maid of honor to Miss Martha
Johnston, the queen of the. Carnival, to
night and Atlanta may well feel proud of
this fair representative. Miss Jackson will
wear an elegdnt toilet tonight of white
satin duchesse, fashioned with the tunic
skirt, which appears to be three separate
skirts, one falling over the other. Each of
these is bordered with pearl beads, while
the low-cut corsage has its satin drapery
caught with strings of the pearl beads.
Guipure applique lace is brought in scarf
effect from each shoulder to the waist, anR
then forming a great pannier effect over
the hips, is caught again in the back at the
waist line.”
Miss Jackson is the guest of Miss Cleve
land Smith, who will visit Atlanta later
in the season.

CAMP IN A NUTSHELL.
Singing ballads, playing cards.
Eating sidemeat, running guards;
Marching, driling, exercising,
Lying ’round philosophizing; ~
Digging ditches, learning tactics, ,
Standing guard until your back aches;
Doing laundry, piokng trash up,
Cleaning camp and dishing hash up;
Cooking pork and taking baths,
Eating hardtack, cleaning paths;
Getting yellow as a tanyard,
Wondering when we’H meet ihe Spaniard,
Getting letters from our folks,
Snoozing, boozing, cracking jokes;
Thinking of the folks —if not them,
Then of sweethearts —those who’ve got
them;
Reading papers, reading books,
'Fasting', grumbling, “cussing” cooks;
Writing letters, cleaning tents up,
In our trousers sewing rents up;
Stewing, growling, fretting, fuseing.
Kicking, howling, working, “cussing;"
Drilling like old-time cadets.
Smoking pipes and cigarettes;
Telling stories, making wishes,
Spitting wood and washing dishee;
Turning in at sound •of “taps,"
Spouting verse and shooting scraps;
Wanting fight with Spain’s “conceitOß,"
Getting it with big mosquitos;
Taking quinine sick or well,
Caster oil and calomel;
Running out to see the “dummies,"
Calling one another “rummies;”
Getting up at 5 o’clock.
Wanting figrht and hearing talk:
Thinking we are not in clover,
Wondering when the war’ll be over.

GUARDS ON EVERY ROAD
And Union Miners Turn Out to As
sist-the Military in Their Work
of Pleasure,
By Associated Press.
Pana, 111., Oct. 14. —A telegram was re
ceived today from Virden saying that in
ad probail ity Operator Lukens, of the Chi
cago-Virden Coal Company, would attempt
to land at Pana the imported negroes, who
ofter bloody riots, were shut out of Vir
den.
1A conference was imediately held by tel
ephone between Captain Harris, of Compa
ny G, Aurora. 111., comandiing the militia
here, and Adjutant General Reese and Gov
ernor Tanner at Springfield.
The conference resuilted in the governor
ordering Captain Harris to imediately put
guards on all of the roads to each of the
coal mines and at the approaches to each
railroad into Pana and under no considera
tion to permit any imported negroes to land
in Pana.
Captain Harris has only fifty-five men
under his command, and was ordered to
call on the citizens to assist aim if neces
sary.
The Union miners, through their presi
dent, imediately volunteered their services.
Other citizens also volunteered.
Captain Harris told them to he in readi
neses where he could find them. Thereop
on the miners assembled in waiting for the
call to arms, while Captain Harris imme
diately followed the governor’s instructions
and placed a guard on each mine and rail
road crossing.
The reported coming of the negroes
caused the most intense evcitement and the
miners and other citizens generally at on e
got ready to aid Captain Harris.
Governor Tanner’s name is on every
miner’s tongue, and he is being loudly
praised for the quick action taken to pre
vent any more negroes landing at Pana.
AT POLICE STATION.
Only Six Cases Were Tried .This Morn"
inff.
The policemen of the city have made
very few arrests considering the crowds
that have been in the city. The crowds
have been very orderly and no disturbances
of any 'kind have occurred. Only six ar
rests were made yesterday and last night,
and one of the largest crowds ever seen in
the city was here.
Judge Freeman was in an excellent hu
mor when he walked into the court room
this morning and he was light with al) the
offenders. None of the fines amounted to
much as all of them were for disorderly
conduct. The largest fine was that of F.
A. Smith, who was unusually disorderly.
He was fined $lO.

A New Fish From Trout Eggi.
At the fish hatchery at Ukiah, Cal., an
odd thing came out this summer in the
trout hatching, which has puzzled some
of the expei IS. A lot of trout eggs came
in from Lake Tahoe, and in the course of
hatching out there appeared among the
products of these eggs some eighty odd
strange fish, a pale lemon colored fish
fringed with black, with a pink line
alongside, and a bright metallic luster iu
general coloration. The authorities were
unable to name these fish and are hold
ing them in a separate apartment, hoping
that they will either turn into regulation
trout or get themselves classified as they
belong.
It would appear that nature has got
in another of her mystifying ways and
has not consulted the authorities about it
at ail. Is it possible that we are to have a
few specialties to add to the fantail deer
and the horn snake? The fantail deer I
take to be now scientifically admitted, not
only as a possibility, but as a fact, and I
lay much unction to my own soul that I
was ahead of the scientist on that and
guessed correctly that the old hunters were
correct in claiming that there was such
an animal. As to those trout, it is as well
to be meek, for not even an old hunter has
as yet appeared who ever saw anything
like them.—Ed Hough in Forest and
Stream.
Pilgrims to Blaine's Grave.
The superintendent of Oak Hill ceme
tery in this city says that an average of 30
persons visit that place every day to sec
the grave of Mr. Blaine, and four out of
every five come to his office to inquire why
it is unmarked. Mr. Blaine lies upon the
eastern slope of a b- autiful hill by the side
of his son Walker and daughter Alice,
who was the wife of General Coppinger.
There is a small headstone marking
Walker’s grave, inscribed simply with his
name and the dates of his birth and death.
The daughter’s grave is marked by an
elahor- tv Celtic cross, which, the inscrip
iiuu says, “Was erected by her sorrowing
husband.” but the grave of Secretary
Blame is marked only by a sin 411 foot
stone, a f* w inches square, hearing the
letters “J. G. B ”
It has I’ecn understood among the
friends of t:.e Elaine family that the
burial at Oak Hill is only temporary; that
Mrs. Blaine ictenus to remote the bodies
of her hi.iband and children to Augusta
as soon us she can make satisfactory ar
rangements for their interment there, and
that- is probably the reason why no perma
nent monum tit has been erected.—Wash

LOTS OF FUN
At the Academy Tonight in
the Extravaganga.
An exchange says of “Stuart, the Male
Patti,” who will appear as “Isabella,” the
Daisy Queen, in the 'big production of
“1492” at the Academy of Music tonight
and tomorrow:
“At the top of the cast comes the best
male' impersonator of female characters to
be found on the stage—Stuart. His make
up is something striking and artistic, and
his singing is a marvel. Many persons
who saw him for the first time last night,
absolutely refused to believe he was a man.
“A man might make up like that,” they
said, “but one could never sing like that.’’
Nevertheless, the “Isabella’’ of the play is
a man.

’“Mr. Whitman —'Please do not let any
of the clergy in to see me. If I, an inno
cent man, can be hanged >today without the
right to have the highest court in the land
pass upon my case, which is al prepared;
if I am refused this right which every man
is entitled to, there certainly can be no
God above us, and in ithat case the clergy
can do no good.”

Indian.
By Associated Press.
Walker, Minn., 0ct.14. —There 1b no con
fidence here that the question of peace or
war will be settled definitely at this after
noon’s conference of Indian Commissioner
Jones with the hostiles. A rumor that at
least two of the three ringleaders would
surrender themselves at this council, is,
however, received with a good dead of
skepticism .

aging.
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 14.—The cold wea
ther continues, but the fever reports from
the various infected points in the state
do not show any perceptible effect on the
situation.
Fifty new cases and three deaths were
officially repoted for yesterday to the
state board. No new points of infection,
however, -developed, and there is a gen
eral feeling thaJt the worst is over and
the hold of the fever will soon be broken.

with only five deaths.
NEW TRIAL
For Stevens, the Negro, Who L'dled Ker
shaw.
John Stevens, the negro, who killed
young Kershaw in May, was granted a
new trial yesterday by the supreme court.
The decision of the court was that the
lower court erred in refusing to grant a
new trial.
Harry Joiner, who was charged with
murdering a pedler by the name of Yon,
was refused a new trial, and he will have
to serve out a life sentence in the state
penitentiary.
The case of Stevens will probably be
heard at the next sesion of the court and it
probable that he will be found guilty of
manslaughter.
