LAW MAKING ENDS TODAY
THE LEGISLATURE TO ADJOURN
AT NOON"-
The Fight Over 1110 Indorsement of the
Ocala Platform Sprung Again Yee
terday-Tbe Matter to Come Up
Ags :n at TWe Morning's Session.
Atlanta, Ga, Ocl 14—Tomorrow is
the last day of the present session of the
Georgia legislature. At 12 o’clock sharp,
unless the unexpected happens, the two
bodies will be declared adjourned sine die.
The present indication is tnat there will be
no unflnis.ied business of any moment left
on the desks of the clerks. To-day the
House worked itself up >ver the Ocala
JQUUOO --v - ’ .
platform resolutions, and the fig t wnl be
taken up again to-morrow morning as soon
as the journal is read. An attempt was
made to bring up the resolution indorsing
the Ocala platforni and memoralizing con
gress at the morning session, but it failed.
SPRUNG AS A SURPRISE.
At the afternoon session, however, the
alliancemea resorted io sirategem, which
proved so successful that the opponents of
eny such action were floored by surprise.
Mr. Sibley, the member from Cobb, did it.
Vi itbout giving an inkling of what he in
tended he asked and secured unanimous
consent to introduce a resolution. YY hen
the clerk begati to read those . ■ embers not
in the seen et were almost paralyzed. They
realized that they had let down tho bar and
would have to fight the issue squarely. The
resolution, which contained the Ocala de
mands in full, ami which called on Georgia s
representative in congress to support
their demands, was finally referred to a
committee of the whole House, with in
structions to report it back at 4:30 o’clock.
SEVERAL SUBSTITUTES OFFERED.
Several amendments and substitutes were
offered. One was indorsing the democratic
pla;fo:m, another indorsing the republican
platform and others slightly changing the
style of the original. When the House
again went into committees>f ti e whole at
4:30 o’clock there was a perfect uproar of
filibustering confusion. After a pitched
battle on parliamentary rules the resolutions
finally went over until to-morrow morning,
when the hour of adjournment arrived. The
opponents of the resolutions say they will
fight to the bittter end, while the alliance
men are equally determined. Should the
body indorse the Oca ia platform there can be
but little doubt that Judge Crisp will feel it
in his speakership race. To-night the Ocala
resolution is the one interesting topic of
conversation in legislative circles, and the
renew al of the fight to-morrow morning is
eagerly awaited.
In the Senate.
Several bills that have attracted a good
deal of attention were lost iti the upper
house to-day. The Wheeler bill to limit
legislative sessions to fifty days was one of
them. Dr. Hand’s postal rights measure
and Representative Sapps act to make
editors and publishers responsible for anony
mous derogatory nrti lea appearing iu their
papers over nom de plumes were also lost.
i’ba conference committee’s substitute
prescribing how the public school fund
shall be disposed of was passed. The bill
allows county school commissioners $2 a
day while on duty, their service not to ex
ceed ten days.
The bill to prevent doctors and druggists
from practicing who are habituated to
drinking has passed the donate and now
awaits tue governor’s signature. To-mor
row is the day, and the senators are prepar
ing to return to tneir homes.
HD?F SUSTAINS THE LEASES.
Ee Says the Majority Report la Unfair
to the Railroads.
Atlanta, 0.v.. Oct. 14.—Representative
Huff of Bibb submitted a minority report
on the illegal lease question this morning in
the House. The report charges that tho
majority report is a labored attack on the
Terminal with the purnosj of destroying it
and denies t hat there is any question as to
the right of the Central to hold a naif in
terest in the lease of the Georgia road, and
asserting that the Central has full power to
lease itself to the Georgia Pacific.
“T he most extraordinary among all the
ex' raerdinarv conclusions reacbod by the
majority report,” says Col. Huff, “is that
tho .ease o the Macon and Northern to the
Richmond ami Danville, and the Central is
illegal. The difficulty in the minds of the
majerify Seems to arise uot so much from
the fact that the Richmond and Dan vide and
Central leased tbe Macon and Northern,
but because the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern failed to do so.” Unfairness to
the railroads is charged because it is claimed
no evidence was allowed to be introduced
before the committee to refute the charge
that any of tho leases in question
defeated or lessened competition. Col. Huff
goes to some length in arguiug that compe
tition is not defeated by the Terminal’s
combinations. Ail the leases dec area ille
gal by the majority are asseried to be valid
by the minority report without exception,
and regret at the unfair manner in which
the invest gation was conducted is expressed.
A letter from CoL Mac hen reviewing the
lease of the Macon and Northern and sus
taining that lease is attached to the report.

WORK OF METHODISTS.
SUNDAY CLOSINGOFTHB WORLD’S
fair brought up.
The Committee Appointed to Look
Into the Matter Not Confident of a
Successful Outcome of the Move
ment—The Conference Leans to Con
certed Action in Church Work hy
the Different Branches.
Washington, Oct. 14.—Rev. J. D. Mur
ray of the Methodist Episcopal church at
Baltimore presided over the ecumeuical
Methodist conference at the beginning of
the seventh day’s session.
After the usual devotional exercises Sec
retary King, from tho business committee,
reported favorably a resolution concerning
the extension of friendly greetings to the
pan-Presbyterian council to meet at To
ronto, Septemuer, 1592, and it was adopted.
Also an order for a love feast and fellow
ship meeting next Sunday afternoon.
Thronga Rev. Dr. Curts of Chicago the
comnii’ tee on Sunday closing of the Chicago
Columbian exposition made a report
which he prefaced by saying that the local
directory of the fair was under the control
of tho large stockholders. These stock
holders were the railroad and street
car companies and brewers.
All of these corporations
were clamoring to have the exposition open
on Sunday. Everybody knew why. The
only hope of the rucocss of the conference
lay in the United States commission, who
were in some sense responsible to the peo
ple. After amendment the report was
adopted. The report is in the form of a
petition to the United States coraansdoners
of the world’s exposition to oreveat the
opening of the exposition on Sunday, and
giving reasons why it shouid not be open
on that day.
METHODIST FEDERATION.
The report was ad >pted without debate.
The business committee next reported
back tho resolutioa on the subject of Meth
odist federation. It reciter that the
conference recognizes the desire for
Christian co-operation among the evan
gelical churches, and especially among
the various Methodist churches;
that while the time for organic union might
not have arrived, yet coucdTted action was
now possible. Therefore it was recommend
ed that the churches represented in the con
ference consider whether such concerted
uction be possible, and if so by what meari3
and ways. The secretaries were also
directed to send copies of the
resolutions to the senior bishops and
presidents of the conferences represented
here. Half a dozen delegates spoke iu terms
of praise of the resolution, but before the
debate closed further consideration of the
subject was postponed until’to-morrow.

The topic of the morning session was edu
cation aDd the first paper was one prepared
by Rev. W. M. Fitchett of the Australian
Methodi-t church of Victoria, eutitied
“Religious Training ami Culture of the
Young.” In Dr. Fitchett’s absence the
paper was read by Rev. Dg. YV. Morley of
New Zealand.
The topic of the address of Rev. Thomas
B. Apploget, pres.dent of the New Jersey
conference of the Methodist Protestant
church, was “The Family.”
Hou. John Evaus of Denver, Col., was to
speak upon Sunday schools, but was so 111
that the subject was treated by Rev. Dr.
Culley of London from an English point of
view.
Rev. Joseph Ferguson of the Primitive
Methodist ctiurch of England presided at
the afternoon session. The sunject of edu
cation continued to occupy the attention of
the council until a recess "was taken till 7:30

He was a little man. scarcely four feet in

The companion addressed was a reporter
of the Times, and to hitn the owner of the
valise had just shown in a diamond broker’s
shop diamonds and other precious stones
valued by the ruling market price at over
8800,00
“One night in Buffalo,” said he, “the
lock of the hotel vault was out of order,
and I was compelled to retire with my grip
full of diamonds iu my room. 1 tried to
keep awako all night, but was deadly tired
and fell into a sudden sleep, and hotel
sneak thieves got into tne window from a
balcony and robbed mo of my watch, a
small sum of money, and even took tbe
silver sleeve buttons out of my cuffs. You
may observe that I nnver wear any expen
sive or showy jewelry. I had thrown the
little sachel as tar under the bed as it
would go aud they never touched it. No,
I don’t think I was chloroformed: they
certainly didn’t know anything about the
valuable jewels I’d carried. At one time I
wondered if the note) clerk was not an ac
complice of the thieves, and that they only
desisted from searching for the sachel for
fear of being compelled to commit murder,
but I dismissed this suspicion, for no living
soul but myself knew I would be in Buffalo
that night." I doubt if the hotel clerk even
knew my business. But you can bet I have
never let the sachel out of my sight since,
unle s I saw it safely locked up ia a steel
vault.
Mr. Coxe, which is not his name, is the
agent of a great New York diamond-im
porting house. He may be seen on tne
streets of Chicago a, intervals for a period
of ten days about once every three months.
He is about 38 years of age, 4 feet 3 inches
in hight, and not only wiry in build but full
of nerve. He usually walks the streets
with one hand in his overcoat pocket, where
a cocked revolver of tbe latest improved
pattern nestles, aud his hot-weather coats
are provided with a specially constructed
inside pocket to carry the weapon. His little
hand-sachel never c mtains less than $500,-

THE CZAH’B SHOT-PROOF CAB.
How the Emperor of Russia Travels
Among His Loving .Subjects.
Fram the Philadeliihia Telegraph.
\V T hen the czar travels in Russia the pre
caution taken for his safety could not be
greater ere ho in an enemy’s country. A
battalion of infantry is detailed for every
two miltes of distance, and
allowing 500 men as the
strength of each battalion, every spot of
grou don both sides of the track is covered
by sentinels within easy distance of each
other. The czar is suddenly whirled off to
the station accompanied by the chosen
twelve of his body guard, without pomp
or circumstance, swiftly and silently. Tue
czar always travels in a train of five car
riages, His carriage is built in a peculiar
way.
The windows, while ample for light, are
high, so that a person sittiug down is invisi
hie from the ouiside, and tbesidesof the car
are fortified with ; latcsof steel concealed in
the ornamental woodwork, but amply
strong to resist a bullet. There are two
sentry boxes iu the carriage, one at each
end, and each looking out at an opposite side
from the other.' ’1 he guardsmen on duty in
these apartments are shut iu from auy
observation of the interior of the carriage,
but at intervals of about two feet the whole
length of tbe saloon are electric ba tons
communicating with the guard chambers,
as well as with the two carriages, one con
taining the suite and tire other, in the rear,
oocupied by the guardsmen not on duty. So
far as the train itself is concerned, the czar
could be no more secure in St. Petersburg.
The train speeds oa to its destination
without a halt, except oa account of acci
dent. At a distance of not less than five
miles auead is a pioneer train, which the
imperial director of railways and the chief
engineer of the particular railway on which
tho czar is traveling always ride. As the
pilot train whizzes by the reserves along
the line rush to arms and guard the sides of
the railway, waiting until the imperial
train has pissed, so that the spectacle is
presented of continuous lines of soldiery
for hundreds of miles. Arrived at the end
of his journey, the czar is escorted to the
quarters intended for the imperial family.
The streets are guarded by special consta
bles in the attire of citizens. "Every prop
erty owner has been called upon to supply
one or more of these men at his own ex
pense to do duty when the sovereign makes
his appearance. The constables average
one in tea of the crowd that throngs the
streets, and being in ordinary dress they can
mingle with the people, note what is said,
and, perhaps, do something that wiii obtain
them regular employment among the secret
police. YVith one-tenth tho population en
gaged as spies upon the remainder, with
troops enough concentrated to stand a form
idable siege, and his faithful guardsmen
dogging every step, the czar goes through
the forms of a visit to the ancient capital
of Russia, or whatever city he may choose
to honor.
