France.
By (Associated Press.
Paris, Oct. 24. The newspapers today
praise the French side of the Fashoda
question presented by til. ministers of for
eign affairs.
In tile yellow book issued yesterday, the
Figaro says: “if the British government
rejects France's moderate and just propo
sals it can only be bet ause the government
of Great Britain desires before everything
else the humiliation of Erance.”
The general tone of tile French press is
reflected by the Eclair, which remarks:
Au agreement regarding Fashoda can be
aarrived at provided Great rßitain does
not persist in asking for the immediate re
call of Major Marchand, but as to the
outlet on the Nile, w< have absolute right
thereto and will brook no refusal.
The Sieele says:
“Erance would hardly come off b tter n

better be employed developing colonies
than thwarting England.”

New York. Oct. 24. —A dispatch to the

Telegraphic inquiries by the World cor

that Spanish dock yards show absolutely
no sign of renewed activity.
The vessels composing Admiral Camera s

chiefly Cadiz. Carthagenia and Ferrell,

and the marines ashore. Work on all the

The officers and men of Admiral Cerve

riving. At Ferrol! and Cadiz, especially,
things are as quiet as they were before the
war. Besides gunnery and ma hinery. oth
er equipments on several of the war ves
sels. including the “Charles V.” and the
“Pelayo” revealed lamentable deficiency.
From a conference with ministers and
leading politicians the World correspon

off negotiations over the Cuban debt, is re
garded as absolutely preposterous and sui

TOBACCODUTIES.
Dealers Beg that Import Tar
*iff Be Maintained.
By Associated Press.
New York. Oct. 24.—A dispatch to the
World from Washington says: A perplex
ing problem confronts McKinley in the
matter of fixing the duties on tobacco in
the island of Cuba during its military oc
cu ration.
'the cigar makers of Florida and the
manufacturers of tobacco in many of the
large cities have asked about the prob
ane- cnangis in duties during the Ameri
can occupation and urged the abolition of
all duty. They say they have been injur
ed many thousand dollars by the war in
Cuba end that the only way to rebuild the
trade is to encourage the Cuban planters
and American enterprise by giving every
inducement for the growing and shipping
of tobacco to this country.
On the other hand the Cuban planters
have begged that no such -action be taken,
as it would mean their eternal ruin and
practically kill the tobacco industry in
Cuba. They claim that the moment -the
tons of inferior tobacco would be sent
from the United States into Cuba, manu
factured into cigars and shipped from the
island as avana cigars, finding their way
into all of the world. The discovery of
this fraud and the inferior quality of the
go.»ds would forever discredit the pro
duct and ruin the market for Havana tp
b.icco. It is likely that the president will
refer the matter to congress for action.'
Spain by her grasping methods, which
in the case of tobacco, the richest source
of revenue at her command, had an ob
ject in view in proserving the integrity of
the prodOot in the jnarkets of the world
by placing such a high import duty on
tobacco as to practically prohibit its ship
ment into the island, and so none but
Cuba" tobacco has been exported from the
island.

MUCH TDD SHARP
To Be Caught by Old-Time
Dodge of Dr. Ireland in
Montreal.
REPORTED TO BE DROWNED
And Carried Thirty-Seven Thousand
Dollars of Insurance on His
Life —Police Suspicions.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 24. —A dispatch to the
Herald from Montrael says: An attempt to
extort $211,000 insurance money is seem
ingly at tfhe bottom of the story of the
alleged drowing a week ago of W. H. Ire
land, an ative of Trenton, Ont., but for
■ yi-ars a resident of South Africa and sur
geon to Cecil Rhodes.
The city was deeply stirred by the
event, which was said to ihave taken
place off the Donaldson line wharf and
the announcement that Ireland’s widow
was at death’s door at her hotel.
When detectives called .to see her her
story did not quite agree with that told
on (her arrival at the hotel two hours af
terwards, it is alleged, her husband was
drowned. She afterward made o-ther con
tradictory statements.
The detectives say frankly that -they be
lieve that during the two hours between
the alleged accident and the time Mrs.
Ireland reported it at the hotel Ireland
went to a depot and took a .train for (New
York, whence he sailed for England. Or
he may have had a friend on ’the Tritonia
who gave him a bunk in secrecy. The
Tritonia sailed at daybreak the next
morning for Glasgow, where she will be
searched on arrival.
The face value of the policies held by
Ireland is $30,000, but as a matter of fact
there is only $22,000 on the doctor’s life,
as premiums on $17,000 were not paid on
August 1.
Dr. Rhodes was well known in So-uth
Africa, having taken a prominent part in
the Matabelle war.'He was wounded in the
hip, and as a result walked somewhat
lame. He was surgeon to Cecil Rhodes
for some time and was considered a clever
man.
Word comes from Vi Ct ora, B. C.,.that
Ireland is known there once to have at
tempted a similar scheme to the one now
arousing interest here. Mrs. Ireland .pro
tests that she knows nothing of it.

was received from Colonel Theodore Roo

invited to speak.
At the close of the meeting a resoluion

Various propositions have been made,
the one most favorably received ‘being that
of the erection of a g.ate at the south en
trance to the yard.
President Eliot’s address called forth the
greatest, applause. He spoke in substance
as follows:
“Colonel Roosevelt's phrase, 'Gave their
young lives.’ is a most common one, but
how much it means. The men who died in
the Cuban war have given what you are
now hopefully looking forward to. Hu
man life has gone forth. What did they
go for? Sometime we get ar; adverse an

who have sat here? I says that they shall
be remembered who gave their lives for
their country. What did tbiey know? what
did the young men of ’6l know of the Is
sues of the war in which ’hey entered?So
long as war is the inevit able method of
settling disputes arising from human pas

Negro—Allen is Hustling.
Special to The News.
Thomas-ton, Ga., Oct. 23.—The street
force, while working near the city yes
terday, had a very remarkable find. Be
fore they were well aware of what they
were doing they struck a grave, which
proved ,to be, on investigation, that of
John Mallory, who was hanged here just
52 years ago. In the grave was found
his skull, teeth, leg bones and
parts of the body which were petrified;
but what was most remarkable about the
whole matter was the coffin*. Only one
part of it was there and 'that was the bot
tom plank, which was made of very fat
lightwood; however, the grave at bottom
was the exact shape of the coffin.
Your correspondent interviewed several
of the oldest citizens and learned the his
tory of the slave-time hanging and crime.
In those days it was just as much against
the law for a negro slave to insult his
master as it was to commit murders and
the charge against John Mallory was for
striking his master, Mr. Jesse Mallory in
the head with a hoe and inflicting a very
painful and serious wound. On this
charge he paid the penalty for his rash
act and was buried soon after being hung
near the scaffold, where an open grave
was awiating his remains.
His body has never been disturbed for
52 long years until yesterday by the street
force. They gathered what parts re
mained and removed them to the negro
cemetery in a small box where he will
sleep forever more in peace.
DARING ROBBERY.
One of the most daring robberies ever
committed in this county was at the home
of Jim Daviston several days ago. Dav
iston left home early in the morning and
came, to town, and after lingering late,
started for his home. On arriving there
he found l his wife lying on the floor
senseless. He was very much frightened
at the state of surroundings and could not
imagine what was the matter with his wife
but when he discovered that his trunk,
with his money had been stolen, he real
ized immediately the cause of the trouble.
After his wife had regained her senses
she told him between sobs that two men
had demanded the money of her and on
refusing to give it they struck her a heavy
blow over the eye which put her to sleep.
Daviston went to work at once looking
for hie stolen treasure, and found, a short
distance from his home, the trunk which
had been broken open and relieved of its
precious contents, which amounted to
$275. All effort will be made to catch the
robbers and if found will be Severely

BURNED TO DEATH
An Old Negro Woman Met With a Horrible
Fate.
An old negro woman was burned to
death in Stinsonville near the ciry limits
yesterday morning. When found she was
beyond recognition. Her name was Mary
Bailey and she was about seventy years
old.
It is no>t known how she was burned,
but it is thought that while standing near
the fire her clothing became ignite! and
she was unable to put it out. No inquest
was held by the coroner, as it was clear
that there had been no foul play.
DARING HIGH DIVE
Will Be Shown in Macon by an Old Macon
Boy.
Mr. Marion Ezell, better known now to
the world as Zelno, Is here today and be
fore leaving Macon again he will give the
people of -the city an opportunity to see
something of his marvellous feats that
have made him famous the world over.
Mr. Ezell is an old Macon boy, his fa
ther at one time being a well-known jew
eller here. He left Macon about fourteen
yeans ago and about twelve years ago he
commenced the life at which he has con
tinued since.
As Zelno Mr. Ezell is known as the
most daring high diver in the world. He
will give an exhibition here on Saturday
next, probably at Ocmulgee park, but the
time and place will be arranged later.
Zelno dives from a tower* erected on the
grounds, a hundred and ten feet high, in
to a tank three feet deep. The tower he
carries with him. It is made on the tel
escopic plan and is easily manipulated.
It is the most daring feat of its kind
done by any man in the world today, and
is attended by the greatest danger. Mr.
Ezell has had nearly every bone in his
body broken and carries with him the
terrible scars of the wounds he has re
ceived! chi different occasions.
The result of the dive is a matter of
I close calculation. If he misses that cal
culation by a very small margin the
chances are that he will be killed or that
he will break many bones. He has had
a number of narrow escapes.

MISS AUGUSTA. PLANT DEAD
Died Yesterday at Old Ladies Home —Buried
this Morning.
Miss August Plant died yesterday after a
brief illness, and the announcement of her
death was a shock to a large circle of her
friends.
Miss Plant devoted the latter years of
her life to nursing her mother, who was
an invalid, and who died about a year ago.
Since that time she has been in bad health.
She was one of the best known ladies in
Macon, and was loved by all who knew
her. She was a cousin to Mr. R. H. Plant,
and has a number of relatives in the city.
The funeral services were held this morn
ing from Christ’s church. Rev. H. O. Judd
conducted the ceremonies. The interment
was at Rose Hill cemetery. The following
gentlemen acted as pallbearers:
Merrs. W. H. Wrigley, R. H. Plant,
Henry Wrigley, A. D. Schofield, Captain
Wilcox and George Wrigley.
The funeral was largely attended and
many followed the remains to the last rest
ing place.
LIKE A CIRCUS.
The Cleveland-Wilson Minstrel Combination
on Wednesday.
(The Cleveland-Wilson minstrels are be
ing billed like a circus. Neither Bailey
nor Buffalo Bill have a greater variety of
paper printed than has the dual company.
'When It came time to organize for this
■season both iWilson and Cleveland knew
■that the other was to be on the road and
accordingly each organized the best comp
ipany of his career. Each ordered the
sfiowiest and best printing to be had in
unheard of quantities, in order to make
the fight just as hot as possible. Then
came the union of forces. They saw that
the other managers who had had com
panies in partnership, were dividing forces
and weakening themselves, so they came
to the very sensible conclusion that there
would be strength and money in a com
bination of their companies. It took some
shrewd diplomacy to get the rivals to
gether, but the thing was done and the
two companies are on the road together,
giving double performances after a dual
street parade, with separate bands. The
first part is dual.) Organization has not
destroyed individuality, for each show re
mains as organized. The union of forces
required more printing, so another order
larger than either of the others was
placed with lithographers with orders to
rush. The result is that the shows is ad
vertised by paper for three companies.
It takes about an acre of billboard to hold
each sheet that is used.
TO COVINGTON
The Central Railroad Will Put
on a Local Train this
Week.
The Central of Georgia Railroad will put
on a shoofly train to Covington this week.
This movement has long been clamored
for by the people living along the line of
the road between Covington and Macon.
The movement Is due mainly to the ef
forts of the Chamber of Commerce.
The train will bring in many people who
will spend the day in Macon and who will
do their trading here. The train will eave
Covington at 7:30 in the morning and ar
do their trading h«>re. The train will leave
here at 5 and arrive in Covington at 7:30.
The train will be of great convenience to
the people between here and Covington,
who will now foe given a chance to spend
the day in Macon, which they could not
have otherwise done. The schedule is very
convenient and a person can leave Coving
ton In the morning and have several hours
to speed in the city, and so it will be with
people at all the stations along the line.
The train will be of great benefit to the
city and will greatly increase its trade.
The Georgia Southern has been running
these trains for some time and has always
found that they were a great help to the
road. The Central roa? has at last reeog
mzaJ this fact and this w»»k the ‘hoofl”
train w*l! begin its run. The ‘rain wip
’,o: c.rrv mail, but it a 11 troiably -arry

The Chamber of Commerce has been at
■work for some time trying to secure this
train and has at last succeeded. The train
will no doubt be of great benefit both to
the city and the people living along the
line.

ELECTION COMES
DECEMBER FIRST
Fight Between Prohibition and
Liquor Will Be Decided
Here on that Day.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
That They Will Win—Mr, Lee Open
ed Up on the City Administra
tion in His Sermon.
The voters of Bibb counity will cast their
ballots on December 1 to decide whether
or not whisky will be sold' in the' county.
The petition which has been circulated
by the prohibition men < luring the last
week has received a suffh j, nt number of
signatures to call an elect ion and it will
be presented to Col. Wyle r. the ordinary,
today with the request that he will call
the election the Ist of De eember.
'Fully five thousand people attended the
tent meetings yestenduy w iiich are being
held under the auspices <»f the prohibi
tionists of the city.. The day was cold,
but it did not keep the peo pie from flock
ing to the tent to hear Dr. Lee.
The lecture yesterday aft. trnooo was at
tended by a large crowd. Dr. Lee began
his lecture promptly a.t 3:30 and con
tinued for an hour. He pit ched into the
city officials at once and gave them a se
vere roast. He said that it was impos
sible for him to see how the mayor of the
city could have a man arrested for
preaching on the streets, wh< m he allowed
one of the streets to be top ed off during
the Carnival and allowed .scenes to be
enacted tflere that would have bean a. dis
grace to Paris. He said that if the Salva
tion Army men, who are now conducting
services here were arrested, he would be
arrested also and threatened t<> test the
law if any more arrests were made.
He devoted all his time yesterday af
ternoon to the saloon question ami the
city officials- and made it warm for both.
Last night the crowd was much larger
than in the afternoon. Before pr< weed
ing with his sermon he announced, that
the prohibition club had gone to a large
expense in fitting up the. tent and th at he
wanted the people present to help them
■bear the expense. A collection was taken
up and about SIOO was taken in. He- took
his text from the 20th verse of the third
chapter of Revelations. “Two Closed
Doors.” 'He preached an excellent sermon,
but he finally went to the city officials
again and said that he hoped at the next
election the people would see fit to elect
a body of officials that were fearless in
caryring out the law. He attacker 1 some
of the property owners in the city for re
fusing to allow him a place to put up his
tent.
Mr. Lee then returned to his s ermon
and became so eloquent that many in the
congregation were moved lo tears. The
last part of his sermon was one of the
grandest things, ever delivered in Mac. i
and was fully appreciated by the f-ong--.
gation. At •th*' end of his sermon he a
that every man woman and child j■”
who was in favor of his movent ent to
stand up. nearly everybody present re
sponded. and when he » ked thes <■ w"’o
had signed the petition that is tn lie p- -
seated to the ordinary asking for an ■ -
tion to hold ■ their hands nearly < v .-y
hand in the t .>t went up.
IMr. Lee closed the ’meeting by an nounc
ing that on tomorrow night, then-* would
be a special- meeting J«r be p-’ -j s and
that the co'ored ministers of the 'i ty and
himself would address the meet! ,i g. He
invited all of th' white peopl attend
also. A colored prohibition club ’will be
organized tomorrow -night to nr list the
' hlte club in their work. He wtill talk
tomorrow night on the logic of license
and will also take up the matter taxes.
Dr. Lee feels confident that the* ; rohibi
•tioni’St-s will carry the county, tat the li
quor men have been putting in <w.i ;e good
work during the past week and y-3 t. while
they will give out nothing they st y they
are not at all uneasy as to the c-sult of
the election. The question grows warmer
and warmer every day and some lively de
velopments are expected a't an. early date.

Supreme Court of United Slates
Decides Railroad Combi

ASSOCIATIONS
For the Purpose of Controlling •
the Business of Railroads
in the Country.
MADE A STRONG FIGHT
Against the Case But the Railroad
Combinations Were Unable to
Hoodwink the Higher Courts.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 24—The United States
supreme count today decided the joint
traffic association railroad case in favor of
the United States and against the nail
roads.
The case is one of the most important
that ever came before the supreme court,
not only to the railroads, but to the gen
eral public and because of the vast rail
way properties represented by the traffic
association.
The association was formed In 1895 by
thirty-one railways representing the great
trunk lines and the net work branches.
The purpose of the association as stated
in th' articles of agreement was ‘ to es
tablish and maintain reasonable and just
rates, fares and regulations on state and
interstate traffic.” »
Although the case was considered
somewhat of a test yet the joint traffic
.-association was prepared to make a stub
tarn contest in court in support of its
existence.
The ease against it began January, 1896,
in the United States circuit court of tha
sout! n district of New York, the United
Stated being the complainant.
The < ise went against the government
in the Lc-wei courts and it was appealed
to C United States supreme court.
The main contention of the government
as t at the traffic agree men't is a com
mnar.ua to prevent competition.
The aasw< . of the association maintain
ed the legality of the agreement on the
ground of the vast needs of commerce to
•require a joint action and that such action
■and that such action insures uniform ard
just rates and prevents secrets and un
just -discrimination.
