PVEY WILL COME SOUTH Itccepts Invitation to Visit Atlanta With Flag r* Lieutenant Brumby. RO HONORS THE GEORGIAN Bpesentation of Brumby Sword W Will Be Hade By the r Admiral. A Washington special says: Admi ral Dewey has accepted the invitation of the citizens of Atlanta, Ga., to par ticipate in the ceremonies attending the presentation of the sword to Flag Lieutenant Brumby. The invitation was formally tender ed to the hero of Manila Saturday by ! a delegation of prominent citizens, and a prompt and gracious acceptance j was immediately announced. Accompanied by Representative Lon j Livingston, the delegation called upon Admiral Dewey, at the McLean rcsi- j donee. The interview had been pro-' viously arranged through Lieutenant I Brumby, bonce the Georgians received i an extremely cordial greeting from the i admiral. The reception took place in j the parlor, which was beautifully dec- j orated with flowers, potted plants and the national colors. These little formalities having been | completed, Mayor Woodward who was one of the committee, stepped to the front and in the name of the citizens of Atlanta, indeed in the name of all the people in the stato of Georgia, in vited the admiral to visit Atlanta and witness the presentation of a sword to Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood- j ward went on to say how proud the people “f Georgia are to claim Lieu tenant Brumby as their own, and he | informed the Admiral that a hand- j Home sword had been procured by; popular subscription to bo presented to Lieutenant Brumby. The admiral at that point inter rupted the mayor to say that lio had seen it stated that the people of Geor gia intended to give Lieutenat Brum- by n sword, ami liti desired to say that gallant young officer was worthy of any honor or distinction his friends or i bis country might see fit to bestow upon him. This high testimonial to Lieutenant Brumby uns made with so much sin cerity that it deeply impressed the mem bers of the delegation, and their ad miration of the admiral was increased accordingly. The admiral took occa sion to say that he not only appreciated the valuable services rendered by | Lieutenant Brumby, but he also np- ( predated the noble and patriotic part. | played by the representatives of the southern states, in the army and navy during the war with Spain. He said he knew how bravely the southern men rushed to the support of the nation’s honor and shared the glo ries of victory w'ith their northern brethren and thus wiped out all traces *of sectionalism. Tho admiral’s atten tion was called to tho fact that Geor gia sent more men into the United Slates service to battle against Spain than any other stato in the union. The admiral replied that the infor mation was intensely gratifying to him and it made him all tho more anxious to visit Georgia and personally show his appreciation of the valor and patriotism of the southern people. Turning to Lieutenant Brumby, the admiral said: 1 ‘Brumby, we bave but two engagements ahead—oue in Chi cago and one in Philadelphia.” Brumby replied in tho affirmative, whereupon the admiral delighted his visitors by saying: “Well, gentlemen, you may eount on mo being present to see Brumby get his sword.” Ho said he could not state definitely when it would be convenient for him to visit Atlanta, owing to an engage ment 1m has with the president and the members of the Philippine com mission, soon after the president re turns from his western tour. His acceptance, with that, qualifica tion, was entirely satisfactory to tho delegation, audthe details of the visit wore further discussed. Tho admiral evinced such a warm personal regard for Lieutenant Brum by throughout the interview that a ehauge was made in the original pre- BOERS MAT YIELD. Molt Rnconmglnir News Ranches Landott From TratiivKftl. A London dispatch says: Most im portant nows from the Transvaal was received Saturday night, which, if true, probably indicates that the South African republic is about to yield, or any ia case, that the Boers have abandoned all idea of invading Natal. The news is comprised in a cable gram from Newcastle, Natal, which says that farmers who arrived there from the Buffalo river state that the Boers are returning to their homes, leaving patrols along the river. The commanders will remain on the Free State bolder. ADVICES SENT MATSON. He I Notified That More Be Sent Him. Notification has been sent by cable to both General Otis and Admiral Watson at Manila, of the intention of the navy department to re-enforce the navy in the Philippines to a con siderable extent aud stating that the Brooklyn and seve-ral other vessels would bo dispatched at the eariiest possible moment to the islands. gram, so as to place the admiral in the picture and give him a conspicuous part to play in the ceremonies attend ing the presentation of the sword. On the steps of the capitol at Wash ington, it was deemed a high honor for Admiral Dewey to receive the na tion’s sword from the president of the United States. At Atlanta it will be an equal honor for Lieutenant Brumby to receivo Georgia’s sword from the bands of the nation’s hero, Admiral Dowev. Tho suggestion was promptly acted upon, and the programme will be arranged on that basis. Admiral Dewey stated that his de sire to show his personal appreciation and friendship for Lieutenant Brumby was a Hiiflieient inducement to him to visit Atlauta on the occasion of the sword presentation, hut added to that, his desire to recognize in his humble way the glorious part the men of the south have played in the war with Spain. He then referred with deep feeling to the recent deaths of Naval Cadet Wood of Georgiu, and Lieutenant Commander Eldridge, of Alabama,two brilliant young officers of the navy, who lost their lives at Manila. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF Will Be Discontinued In Compli ance With Orders Received From Washington. An Atlanta dispatch says: Tho acting commander of the department of the gulf, Colonel John Simpson, receivod Saturday from Washington the official order of the war department discontinuing the department of the gulf nnd transferring the headquarters to Govornor’s Island. From tho naturo of the order it is regarded as evident by the officers of tho department that the mind of the president has been made up, and that the efforts of Atlanta business men will bring no satisfactory result. The order states that the change is made by direction of the president, and is signed by the secretary of war, the commanding general and the lAljutau general of tho army. Colonel Simpson stated that ho wat in no way acquainted with the purpoa; of the war department in discontinuing tho department of the gulf, but sup posed that Atlanta had been mudo tlu hesdqnarters on the outbreak of tk( j war on account of its central location ' nnd its thorough connection with tho southern scaconst towns. With the war at nil end thore was nothing to accomplish by the continuance of the department. JOSHS IS OPTIMISTIC. UnmncrAtlo Chairman Siiyn Bryan Will P Nominated ami Fleeted.

BRITISH REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE Massing of Krujer'ii Troop# on the Border I# No Longer Feared by Great Britain. A London special of Thursday was to the effect that nothing important developed as to the Transvaal situation during the day. The Daily Telegraph’s dispatch announcing that the Boers had invaded Natal and seized Laings Nek, now aoems to be without foundation. The government has received noth ing to justify the report, although such a move on the part of the Boers would naturally cause little surprise. The British position in Natal was considerably strengthened by the ar rival Thursday of Indian transports with reinforcements of about 2,500 infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of which will be promptly sent to the front by train, and with their arrival at Glencove and Ladysmith, the Brit ish advanced camps and lines of com munication will ho practically safe guarded against the risk of a success ful dash across the frontier by the Boers. The militsy-y authorities apparently no longer fear the massing of the Boers along tho border, and in fact it Ims been provided that the Boers shall not make a sudden invasion into the territory. The Natal authorities are rather pleased with this, because they argue tho tension of waiting will tell severely on the Boers’ discipline; and, moreover, they wiil soon exhaust the little forage there is near the border and bo compelled to fall back on their base, because, in view of the defective commissariat, they are unwilling to advance in Natal leaving behind them a foragoless veldt. Advices from Aldershot convey the interesting information that General Sir lledvers Buller, who is to assume the chief command of the British forces in South Africa, is opposed to the presence of a large number of war correspondents with his forces and wants to limit the correspondents to twelve representatives of the leading British, Indian and colonial agencies and newspapers, including in this number the foreign correspondents. A dispatch from Perth, capital of West Australia, announces that the government of the colony has decided to dispatch a West Australian contin gent to the cape. General Sir lledvers Buller arrived at Balmoral castle j Thursday night as tho guest of Queen j Victoria, to bid her majesty farewell | on his departure. GRIGGS’ OPIMOJf In the Colobrated Carter Case Made Public At Washington. The opinion of Attorney General Griggs in the case of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, of the army, upon which the president approves the finding of the. courtmartial, was made public at Washington Thursday. After dismissing certain of the minor charges as unproven, the attorney gen eral took up the more serious questions involved,first considering the objection that the charges upon which Captain Carter was found guilty were I incon gruous. He says that, unlike the or dinary criminal procedure, the mili tary usages and procedure permit of an indefinite number of offenses in one and the same proceeding. “It is not necessary," he says, “to discuss whether this practice is wise, or whether it is prejudicial in the rights of the accused. It appears to be established by long continued prac tice, and, so far as I am able on in vestigation to discover, without pre vious challenge.” But even if this objection were well founded, the attorney general says, he does not think the accused should be allowed to avail himself of the objec tion now, because he proceeded to trial without objection to this alleged misjoinder, and permitted the court to enter on the investigation of all of the different specifications, and himself brought forward his defense as to each of them. The objection should have been promptly taken to be made available. DEWEY ON FILIPINOS. Thiuk. Great Latitude Should Be Allowed For Local Government. A special from Washington says: In his interview with the president, Ad miral Dewey agreed fully with the views which have been expressed by President Schurmau concerning the future government of the Philippine islands. He said he favored American control through the medium of a commission or civil governor, but great latitude should be allowed for local government of the sixty or more tribes, so that tho administration of affairs could be ad justed to meet their different habits and conditions.

A Donctifci news agency published the following dispatch Tuesday from Pretoria, filed there at 7:40 p. m. Monday: “An urgent dispatch has just been handed Conyngliam Greene, the Brit ish diplomatic agent, requesting an explicit assurance of the withdrawal within 48 hours of the British troops from the Transvaal borders as well as the withdrawal of all the British forces landed in South Africa since the Bloemfontein conference.” The more peaceful tenor of the morning’s news and comments had scarcely been digested and aroused hopes that President Kruger’s birth day would also mark the dissipation of the clouds hanging over South Africa, when the sensational announce ment that the Transvaal government had handed a definite ultimatum to the British diplomatic agent in Preto ria caused a rapid slump in the hopes of those who believe that diplomacy will yet save the situation. Apart from this, the news tends to show that so long as the Boers remain inactive Great Britain will continue to adhere to her present persuasive methods. The Transvaal ultimatum, which is signed by F. V. Keitz, secretary of state, concludes with the following four demands: First—That all points of mutual difference be regulated by friendly in tercourse to arbitration, or by any other amicable way that may be agreed upon by this government and her majesty’s government. Second—That all troops on ihe bor ders of this republic shall be instantly withdrawn. Third—That all reinforcements of troops which have arrived in South Africa since Jnne 1, 181)9, shall be re moved from South Africa within a rea sonable time, to be agreed upon with this government and with tho mutual assurances guarantee on the part of this government that no attack upon nor hostilities against any portion of the possessions of the British government shall be made by this republic during the further negotiations within a pe riod of time to be subsequently agreed upon between the governments; and this government will, on compliance therewith, be prepared to withdraw the armed burghers of this republic from the borders. Fourth—That her majesty’s troops which are now on the high seas shall not, be landed in any part of South Africa. To these demands is appended the definition of the time limit for a re ply- “ This government presses for an immediate and affirmative answer to these four questions, nnd earnestly requests her majesty’s government to return an answer before or upon Wed nesday, Oetoljer 11, 1899, not later than 5 o’clock p. m. “It desires further to add that in the unexpected event of an answer not satisfactory being received by it with in the interval, it will with great re gret be compelled to regard the action of her majesty’s government as a for mal declaration of war, and will not hold itself responsible for the correct ness thereof, and that in the event of any further movement of troops occur ring within the above mentioned time in a nearer direction to our borders,this government will be compelled to re gard that also as a formal declaration of war. “I have the honor to be, respect fully yours, “F. W. Reitz, State Secretary.” Speculation as to the outcome of the crisis has now given way in the news papers to the discussion of military and strategical matters. ATLANTA IS HUSTLING. Preparation* Under Way For Reception of Dewey and Brumby. The preparations at Atlanta, Ga., for the reception of Admiral Dewey and Lientennnt Brumby are progress ing meirily. The scope of the demon stration expands with each succeeding hour and the event promises to eclipse any previous affair of the kind ever at tempted in the whole south. The developments of Tuesday were the resolutions passed during the spe cial session of the council and the ac tion of Governor Candler in the mat ter of practically proclaiming a holi day on tho date when the heroes are in Atlanta. SWORD FOR CHADWICK. West Virginia Honors Popular Captain With Big Celebration. Chadwick day was celebrated by 25,009 people at Nlorganton, W. Va., | Tuesday.

Chinese Ht.tory, Authentic history and biography In China embrace, a period from the year 122 of our era back to the remote per iod of 2,097 years before Christ. The historians of China embrace a succes sion or uninterrupted series of more than 2,400 years. The full and con tinuous history of the empire was com piled in the second century of our era. The great libraries of Peking contain volumes of books numbered by the hundreds of thousands. In the ar chives of the government are still to be found the ancient predictions of eclipses made with great accuracy, to gether with works on astronomy which show a fair knowledge of that inter esting science. Biographies, very suc cinctly written, of the emperors of the most ancient dynasties still exist, and written works of learned men are as voluminous as those of European na tions. And all this learning and love of learning has been acquired without help or suggestion from any foreign people. If their authentic histories reach back to nearly five centuries ago, mythical history reaches still further back into the very night of time. When Nineveh and Babylon were In the splendor of their might, men in China were predicting eclipses, making catalogues, and giving names to the stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were mere mounds of earth and rubbish when China was great, and to this date the civilization and life of the empire is the wonder of the world.

Otto Kleemann, who lives on Bel mont street, recently acquired a beau tiful cactus, which he established in his household, unmindful of the fact that his dog held the opinion that his master should have no other pets be fore him. Now he has no cactus and the dejected semblance of a dog. The little animal espied the plant soon after its arrival, and issued a challenge. In default f acceptance he gave battle, but retired at the first shock to recon sider. The enemy had more teeth than a battalion of bull terriers, and all of them were newly sharpened. He was no quitter, however, and with rising auger he renewed the attack. This time his opponent came down, landing on him heavily, and with the touch of a barb wire fence. The two rolled over and ever in a death embrace, and the cactus was finally vanquished, torn into shreds and scattered about the room. But it was a costly victory.
