The weather this morning is delightful. All is quiet at the polls. The negroes are polling a larger vote than was generally expected. I Governor Russell arrived e-arly and went ! to the precint to vote. The whites were in soroe at each polling place, but there wai no sign of intimidation and no arms were disj/laye-l. Very few negroes are seen standing about the corners, and the negro rpiartrs are very quiet. The colored vote is light, showing a marker falling off from the previous elections, even this ear ly in the day. The citizens received Governor Russell coldly, but no unpleasant remarks were made to him when he went to the poßs to yote, accompanied 'by a few newspaper correei>otdlen ts. In the Fifth ward, the negro stronghold, the utmost quiet prevailed up to noon and it is said that not more than 15 per cent of the negroes will vote. The negroes who came to the polls are given free access to the ballot box and no interference is attempted. At Lauringburg, the negro stronghold and the scene of the great red shirt dem onstration last week, no trouble Is antici pated. The negroes are not appearing at the polls and few Republican votes are cast. A dispatch from 'Newbern says the negro vote is being polled full there. At Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C..

NOT IMPORTANT. Officials at Washington Say that Suspension is Not Serious. 1 ____ ’ By Associated Press. ' Washington, Nov. B.—So far as the state department knows there has -been no break in the Paris negotiations, and. if any difficulty has arisen the officials say it certainly would have been reported very promptly. It is assumed therefore that there must be some purely internal reason for the postponement, perhaps the conven ience of the commissioners. Advices that come to hand so far are ! said to be rather encouraging. There is a , disposition to agree to the statement -rather curiously made to the Spanish cab inet yestertiay, that there will be three or four more meetings of t.ie joint commis sion. This is taken as an indication that the Spaniards themselves are looking for a break in the negotiations, but expect a peaceful conclusion in a short time. PRESIDENT VOTES.

MACON NEWS TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8 1898. COMPLIMENT TDJARTLETT i He is Getting a Big Vote All Through the County of Bibb Todav. QMUrLES STJTE DOTE Nearly Eight Hundred Votes in the City Precincts Alone Up to Two O’clock Today. The congressional election throughout the Sixth district is passing off very quiet ly, as might have been expected in view of ithe fact that there is no opposition any where to Congressman Bartlett for re election. Reports from the different districts are 'to -the effect that a fair vote is being polled but some amount of apathy is evi dent. It is assured, however, that Congressman Bartlett will receive a good complimentary vote and that the general vote throughout the county will be considerably above what has been cast in the previous elec tions wher there has been no opposition. •In Bibb county the friends of the con gressman are working hard to bring out the vote and by the time for the closing of polls it is more than probable that he will have received from a thousand to fif teen hundred votes in this county. The voting is slow, however, as might be expected, but as the afternoon wears on it will be seen that more of the voters will be out. In East Macon Congressman Bartlett will get a strong complimentary vote not withstanding the fact that the leading la bor employer there being Republican, is naturally against the Democratic congress man. A vote of a thousand would be the high est possible 'compliment to the congress man and the indications now are that he will get fully fifteen hundred votes. This in view of the fact that there is notMng else but the vote for one unoppos ed candidate to bring out the voters, and ■when it is remembered that the state and ■county ticket only brought out .some 400 'tickets, is an indication of the popularity •and strength of the congressman in this county. A't 2:30 o,clock the vote in the city was as follows: County cour house ..428 City Hall 120 Findlay’s Foundry 110 East Macon 100 South -Macon ; 45 Total 803 RICHARD DAVIS OUT.

GRAND JURY IS NOWAT WORK Went Into Session this Morn ing and Received Charge from the Judge. rmmu (Hinns Received Special Attention in the Course of the Charge—Will Revise Pension List. The grand jury for this county went into session this morning after receiving the charge from Judge Felton. In the course of his charge Judge Felton made special reference to the existence of professional gambling houses in the city of Macon and urged the jury to look into this matter and remove the evil from the county. He laid special stress on this duty of the jury and it Is probable that they will make a very exhaustive invest!- gation in this matter. The court also reminded the Jury that it would be their duty to revise the pen sion lists during this session. He instruct ed them as to their duty in this particular. The rest of the Judge’s charge was of the usual formal nature detailing the duty of the jury as a whole and impressing them with the importance of the respon- Bibilities that attach .to them. The charge was careful and explicit and was made interesting by the systematic and explicit nature of the instructions. The jury at once retired and commenced their work. The following members make up the jury for this term: T. U. Conner, foreman; E. W. Burke, J. E. Bailey, C. T. King, J. L. Baker. W, H. Smith, O. H. Crockett, O. P. Willing ham, E. L. Martin, C. C.

COTTON CROP Selling at the Lowest Prices Known and Picking Rapidlv. Ths cotton crop Is fast diminishing. /Only a few more weeks and all of the cot ton will be picked and sold. The farmers have been bringing in the staple very fast for the past week, and have been selling it as fast as they could |get it in. The .price at present is very low and there seems to be no probability a rise. Mr. Heard, of Heard & Moore, said this morning that the quality of the cotton was getting better and that might possibly cause the price to go up. He says that the farmers all are feeling very blue over the prospects for next year. Many of the farmers have failed to meet .their obligations this fall, but the mer chants have been very lenient with them. The collections at the banks have beep very good but the merchants have had some difficulty in securing the payments of notes. The corn crop this year is exceedingly )good and it will prove to be of great as sistance to the country people. It is thought that owing to the low price iof cotton this year that the farmers will cut down the acreage next year and that Ith e crop will be several million bales short. The farmers of Bibb county are in (favor of doing this and a majority of them will do so. The crop this year has been as large as heretofore, the Texas crop making up for the shortage in Georgia and Alabama. The opinion of the cotton merchants of iMacon is that all of the cotton will be gathered by the 15th of December and that all of it will be sold by that tiipe. WAITING ORDERS.

Buba Anderson, a small negro boy living at 306 Ash street, swallowed a strong solu tion of potash a few nights ago and died from the effects of it last night. It seems that the negro thought that the solution was water and drank several swallows. He began screaming in a few minutes and a doctor was called in at once. He worked with the boy for several hours but saw that his work would be useless. The boy suffered agonies for three days and last night he died. WIZARD NICOLA Tells How Vessels or Balloons Can Be Steered by Elec tricity from a Distance. MARVJLLDUS Discoverv of the Great Elec trician—He Tells How it is Done. HIMMSmiIIHT In the Harbors on the Island of Cu ba—Has Applied for a Patent on Wonderful Discovery. By Associated Press. New Yorok. Nov. 8. —Nicola Tesla, :the electrician in a newspaper interview de scribes an application of electrictiy where by without interposition of any artificial medium of curumunica/tion, one man can control and direct with absolute exactitude the movements of any type of vessel, bal- loon or land vehicle at any distance that may be desired. From a station on shore, or from the deck of a vessel under way, a torpedo boat, equipped wihit Mr. Tesla’s controll ing device may be propel! either on or be low the surface, manuevered at will in any direction and finally Drought into con tact and exploded against 'the side of a hostile vessel at any point within . the range of the vision of the operator. More than (this, assuming that it were I impossible to accurately locate the posi tion of the vessel which it is desired to destroy, the ‘torpedo boat could be directed to it, even if this ship lay in the harbor • of Southampton and the operator were stationed at Sandiy Hook. > Mr. Tesla said that some months had . elapsed since he had fully developed his i device fo>- which he has applied for -a pa- I tent. When it was learned that Admiral , Cervera wao bottled up at Santiago i‘t was his 'intention to apply his mechanism to ; several launches and similar small craft , loaded with high explosives and annihilate the fleet at anchor. Admiral Cervera, however, came ouit and met ttis fate under the guns of the Amer ican fleet before the necessary arrange ment could be mhde. Then Mr. Tesla planned a raid on the Spanish vessels in the Havana harbor, only to be thwarted by the proclamation of the suspension of hostilities. Hitherto, said Mr. Tesla, 'the j only means of controlling the movements of a vessel from a distance have been sup , plied through the medium of :a flexible , conductor such as an electric cable, but this system is subject to obvious limita tions such as are imposed by the length, weight and strength of the conductor, which can be practically used; but the dif ficulty of m'aintaing with safety the high speed of the vessel, or changing the direc tion of her movements with rapidity by the necessity of effecting the control from a point which is practically fixed and from many other drawbacks which are in separably connected with such a system. “The plan which I have perfected in volves none of the subjections for I am enabled by the use of my invention to em ploy any means of propulsion, to impart to the moving body or vessel, the highest possible speed, to control .the operation of its machinery and to direct its move ments from either a fixed point or from a body moving and changing its direction, nowever rapidly and to maintain this con trol over great distances without any arti ficial connections between the vessel and the apparatus governing its movements and without such restrictions as these must necessarily impose. -In a broad sense, then, my invention differs from all of the systems which pro vide for the control of the mechanism car ried by a moving object and governing its motion, in that I require no intermediate •Wires, cables or other form of electrical or mechanical connection with.'the object same 'the natural media in space. It is productive, nevertheless of simi lar results and in a much more practical manner by producing waves, impulses or radiation which are received throught the water or atmosphere by suitable apparatus on the moving body and causes the de sired actions so long as the body remains within the active region or effective rang. of such current’s wave, impulses or radia tions. Having explained to you some of the possibilities of the device,” continued Mr. Tcela, “I will now give you a practical ex ample of the workings of the model, going into a detailed description of how I am en-' abled to produce thes results.** Elevated on stocks on a table in the center of the laboratory stood a model of a swrew propelled craft about four feet long and somewhat disproportionately wide and deep. Mr. Tesla explained that it was merely a working model which he ' had made In order Jo exhibit to President McKinley and that no attempt had been made at all to follow the sharp lines of a torpedo boat The deck was slightly arched and surmounted by three slender standards, the center one being considera bly higher than the other two which car ried small incandescent bulbs, a third bulb being fixed at the 'bow. The keel consisted of a massive copper plate, the propeller and rudder being in the usual positions. Mr. Tesla explained that the boat contained the propelling ma chinery, consisting of an electric motor, actuated by a storage battery in the hold; another motor to actuate the rudder and the delicate mechanism which performs the functions of receiving through the central standard the electric impulses sent through the atmosphere from the distant operating station, which set in motion the propelling and steering motors and through them light or extinguish the elec tric bulbh and fire the exploding charge in a chamber n the now in response to sig nals sent by the operator. “Now watch,” said the inventor, and jgoing to a table on the other side of the room on which lay a little switch board febcut five inches square, he gave the lever a sharp turn. Instantly the little bronze propeller began to revolve at a furious rate. “Now I will sent the boat to star board,” he eaid. and another quick movement of the lever sent the helm sharp over an an other movement turned it as rapidly back (Continued on fourth page.)
