tho task before them quite arduous, as
the cauip hero is a large one with about
16 subdivisions of troops, to say nothing
of the hospitals.
There are a great many regulars here
and among them many who partici
pated in tho Santiago campaign. Many
of these will be examined when the
commission begins its sittings. The in
vestigation bote will be directed es
pecially to the procuring of facts con
cerning the management of the hospit
als and the care of the sick while the
army was in Cuba.
“We know all about tho landing and
the way the battles were fought,” said
Geueral Dodge. “What we want now
to know, is how the sick and wounded
were cared for. ”
In pursuit of this purpose a large num
ber of surgeons will be called.
Tho commissioners were greeted hero
by a mild snowstorm and very muddy
roads, and decided to postpone camp in

Atlanta, Oct. 26 —Tbe two boasts
of tbe Georgia legislature convened in
their respective chambers this morning
and effected organization.
Tbe election 6( officers in the boase of
representatives occupied a preliminary
caucus for several hours and it was not
nntU noon that' tbe regular session of
tho bouse began.
In tbe senate organization tjas effected
earlier and tbe upper chamber waited
on tho house for some time to join in
tbe usual notilicatiou to tbe governor.
Tbe election of Hon. W. A. Dodson of
Sumter as president of the senate and
Hon. C. S. Northen of Fnltun as secre
tary of the senate was a foregone con
elusion, and the election of Hou. [tender
Terrell of Meriwether county as presi
dent pro. tem. was anticipated.
In tbe house Hou. Jobu D. Little was
elected speaker, and Hon. A. O. Blalock
of Fayorte was made speaker pro tem
by acclamation, uud Hon. John T. Hoi-
feuiliet easily won the race for clerk.
Tbe election of messengers and door,
keepers were close contests in both
houtes.
The opening remarks of the presiding
officers were thoughtful, practical and
in fine temper. Their speeches show
that the sentiment for ballot reform
and u fairer system of taxation has
erystalized into practical form, from
which substantial resnlts may be ox-
peoted.
Tbe legislature adjourned at 2 o’clock
for the day without roeeiviug the gov
ernor's message, which goes over until
tomorrow. There was uj discourtesy
intended in this, the delay in organiza
tion being alone responsible for the mes
sage not being received.
This legislature has more new mem
bers than any legislators that has as
sembled in recent years.
The members are of all ages, from 23
to three scorn and ten, bnt tbe propor
tion of gray hairs is very large.
Both houses are well frosted and sea
soned and may naturally be expected to
■how conservatism.

Admiral Makee Surprising Assertion
That Natives Are Store Intelligent
and Capable of Self Government
Than the Cubans.
Washington, Oct 20.—Some appre
hension has been manifested in certain
quarters as to the possible adverse effect
upon the peace commission nt Paris of
an upheaval in Franco. It has been
suggested that tbe Spanish cause is in
such a shape that the Spanish govern
ment has nothing to lose and everything
to gain by any' change that can be
brought abont. However, it may bo
stated that in the opinion of tbe state
department officials here thero is little
danger of the situation in Patis becom
ing so ncuto as to justify an abandon
ment of the work of the commission on
the ground that tho commissioners them-
eolves ai o in physical danger. It is con
fidently believed that with the, change
of tbe cabinet of France the present
disorder will subside and normal condi
tions will be restored.
It is ulways possible that the Spanish
commissioners, in despair over their
failure to force the Cuban debtnpon the
United States in any 6lmpe, may break
off tbe sessions, bnt. this is not regarded
as probable. It is suspected tbe Span
ish program ia to trump us many poiuta
of difference aa possible, relying upon
tbe sympathy sure to be excited amoug
European nations by their abandon
ment of each point under compulsion
from tho American commissioners as
the basis for a supreme stand at the end,
or the Philippines.
This being the Spanish policy it is ex-
pectod that when the commission takes
op the subjects of Porto Rico and the
coaling station in the Ladrone islands
there will bn many hair splitting objec
tions interposed by the Spanish to any
propositions from tbe American com
missioners, jnst as many references or
attempts at reference to Madrid and
jnst as iond protests over each little
point by the Spaniards at the uncom-
C ranking attitude of the Americans, as
i the case of Cuba.
No one knows sufficiently just what
the extent of the Uuitod States’ claim
will be as to the Philippines. Admiral
Dewey haa a much higher opmiou of
the Philippine people and their capacity
for seif government than ia generally
supposed.
He haa represented to tho American
commissioners that tbe Philippine, of
the northern group, meaning by that,
first the people on the island of Lnzon,
and after that in order, Cebu, Punay,
Leito. Mindoro und Samar, are us a rule
intelligent, practicable (a most snrpris
ing statement) fur better qualified for
self government than the inhabitants of
Cuba.
Admiral Dewey is as familiar with
the qualifications of the Cnbaus in this
respect as almost any nuvul officer, hav
ing hud personal experience with the
loople, so that his statement is bound to
iavo weight with the American com
missioners. But with all this ho baa
mode no recommendation as to wbat
should constitute the maximum or min
imum demand of tho Americans and
their demands consequently are likely
tn be based upon their original instruc
tions, qualified by any change of -opin
ion tlie president may have experienced
aa a result of bis western trip.

New Yoke, Oct. 20. — The cotton

QUAY TO MAKE NO SPEECH,
Pennsylvania Senator Will Answer
His Accusers In an Interview.
Pittsburg, Oct. 26—The promised
speech of Senator Quay in reply to tho
charges brought against him of the al
leged illegal uso of the state funds ia
not likely to materialize. -While noth
ing has boon definitely sottled, it ia un
derstood that tho contemplated speech
will probably be utilized in ihe shape of
a newspaper interview, it boing Senator'
Quay's idea that it would have by thie
means a much widor circulation and
would bo equally, if not more, effective^
It is reported that the statement deals
with tlie political history of Pennsyl
vania for 36 years. Tho senator, it ia
said, recites in it the details of every
public move in which he played a lead
ing part closely, with a minnte descrip
tion of his transactions with the Peo
ple’s bank and Cashier Hopkins.
Komi tor Quay will adopt this conns
on the advice of his friends. Tho aera
tor was never credited with being a for
cible orator, and -it is feared that a
siweclt by him would fall short of tho
locked for results.
