the past two weekt. At 7:30 o'clock
this morning he was (till asleep. He
fell asleep late last night under the in.
fluence of opiates and did not awaken
daring the night.
Dr. Newton, who has been attending
him regularly, slept in the Hobart home
last night, so that in the event of an
other relapse, snch as the vice president
had early yesterday morning and the
morning before, he might be at hand to
render assistance.
Hr. Evans, Ur. Hobart's private sea
retary, said shortly before 8 o’clock this
morning that the vice president’a condi
lion was more hopqful than it had been
for the last few days, bat again ac
knowledged that his chances of recov
ery were as nothing and that none of
the membere of the family nor the phy-
alcians wonld be surprised if he died at
any time now, either in his sleep or
during his waking hoars.
The members of the family did not
tit np last night, as they have done re
cently, bntall retired early. No oalls
were made npon them nor npon the ser
vants of the honsehuld daring the night.
Ur.' Evans deolined to discuss tha
vice president’s withdrawal from pnblio
life, as stated in the report sanctioned
by the family yesterday afternoon.
Uany telegrams have been received
at the vice president’s home dnring the
past day or two. They either expressed
sympathy or inquired at to the condi
tion of the noted invalid. Among the
message, were those of Cornelius N.
Bliss, ex-Secretary of War Alger, Sena
tor Fairbanks, Joseph H. Uanley and
General Gordon of Georgia.
The following balletin was istned at
1:10 p m.:
“Since the last bnlletin at R o'clock
the vice president hat rested very well
and taken considerable Interest in car-
rent affairs There is no change in hit
condition except that ha i9 a trifle
weaker.”

Agulnaldo, Talks of the Situation In
the Phil pplnrs.
New Yore, Oct 81.—A dispatch to
The World from London says: Senor
Antonio Regldor de Jnrado, who, It it
believed, It to aot as Agninaldo's envoy
for the purpose of presenting peaoe
terms to the authorities in Washington,
arrived here today from Madrid. To a
World correspondent he declared that
his only mission to the* American capi
tal was to lay the grievances of the
secular priests against the friars in the
Philippines before the Washington gov-
eminent.
“The friars,” said he, “have placed
themselvers under the protection of
General Otis hnd are appropriating the
property of the secular priesthood.
“Iam also asked by an influential
committee of bankers and merchants in
Hanila to nse any availabla opportunity
while at Washington tosonnd yonr gov-
ernment as to the best obtainable terms
of peace.
When asked the direot question
whether or not he was specifically ac
credited by Agninaldo, Senor Regldor

ALBERT T. ANSLEY,
Bill Nor l-opular Kleollon of Hallway
Board l-.u-d,
Atlanta, Nov. 1.—Tbs interest in
the legislature today centered in a fight
on the Speer bill, which it to elect the
members of the Georgia railroad com-
mission by a direct vote of the people.
The measure came np in the hooss on
its passage and, immediately precipi-
fated one of the hottest fights of the ses
sion. A motion to table was lost and
finally on a yea and nay vote the bill
pa.sed by n vote of 114 to 17.
The amendment to qualify the candi
date. fnr the commission by making one
skilled in luw, oae skilled in railroading
and one skilled in general bnsiaess,
failed to pass.
The bill by Chappell to fix the tax
rate at J inilli, by amending the count
tncion. was lost today.
Only one new bill was introduced in
tbe bouse.
Tbe ball of tbe house of repreienta-
tives wa. today tendered the state pro
hibitionists fur their session today.
In the senate today the nomination!
of yesterday were confirmed. There
were no new bills of importance and a
short session was held.
If all young women could have the
right sort of motherly advice much of
tlie unhappiness of the world would be
avoided.
There are two troubles in the way.
The girls hesitate to consult the
mothers and the mothers really
know only a little more than
tile girls. " Coun- A J
sel of the best
sort is at the
command of ev
ery woman and
if she will
promptly avail
herself of it site
will soon be re
lieved of her
troubles.
Thousands of
women, every
year, write
to Dr. R. V.
Pierce telling their symptoms and asking
his advice, which is freely given without
cost.
For over thirty years Dr. Pierce has
been and is to-day chief consulting phy
sician of the great Invalids' Hotel-and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He
is a specialist in the diseases of women
and his “ Favorite Prescription “ has had
the greatest sole of all medicines ever
devised for the cure of the troubles
peculiarly feminine.
Every letter addressed to Dr. Pierce is
held sacredly confidential and has the
most careful attention.
No testimonial letter is ever published
until the written consent of its author
has been given.
Mrs. Mary R. Lewis, of Tanscr. Gilmer Co.,
W. Vs., writes: " Fur fifteen years I suffered un
told misery. I had given —
uy well. I could not II
I ale would at

•o accredited before be started for Wash*
ington, wbloh would be in the latter
part of November.
“Have yon notioed the dispatches to
day stating that Agninaldo had opened
communication with General Oiia from
Tarlac?” was asked.
I place no reliance In these reports,”
was thp reply.
“Uy latest private information from
leading members of the Filipino as
sembly Is that Agninaldo will make no
move toward peace nntil be sees what
congress Intends to do. He considers it
a waste of time to treat with Ganeral
Otis. If congress decides that the Phil,
ippines are to have self government,
then psae, will enaue cortainly, bat if a
militoay government is decreed war will
continue to the end.
It will take 300,000 men to effect the
conquest of the Philippines and 600,000
to maintain order there afterward.
Agninaldo nnd-ths Filipino generals
know what General Oti,’ forthcoming
campaign is to be. They only (mile at
it. Otis will make no impression on
the country.''
“What do they say of tha Philippine
sitnation in Madrid? 1 ’
“1 talked with a number of Spanish
itatasmen and generals who had had
experience iu the Philippine!. They
were all pleased to see that tha United
States had fonnd tha snbjogation of tha
Philippines not snch an easy matter at
had been expected. They declared it an
Impossible achievement in the manner
that the Americans were proceeding.
“The Filipinos have offered to release
the Spanish prisoners if Spain will rec
ognize Filipino independence, bnt Spain,
while anxlons to get the soldiers, freed,
does not want to offend the United
States."
“Do yon think peaos is ootning?”
“That depends on oongress. A quick,
honorable settlement would be far more
advantageous to the United States than
thi* unending, inoonolosivs war.
“Bat the Filipinos will not stand a
military government. They had enongh
of that from tbe Spaniards, and It never
■noceeded.”
Senor Regldor is a typical Filipino.
He is over 60 years old, snare in man
nar and speaks English fluently, having
practiced as a Spanish advocate in Lon-
non 80 years, where in commercial cir
clet he la highly respected both person
ally and professionally.
TO REVISE CONSTITUTION.
Bill Introduced In tbe Senate py
Mr. 31 t-Lester.
Atlanta, Oct 37.—In the state sen
ate today the most important bill intro
duced was by Senator UcLester of the
Colnmbns district, providing for a oou
■titntional convention.
The governor is directed npon the
passage of the bill to call an election in
all the counties of tbe state, to be held

At the same election tbe voters shall
liguify their sympathy with tht move
ment by Toting “convention” or "m
convention,” and if a .majority of the
voters shall decide against a convention
then no convention shall be held.
If a convention is bald and ths con
stitution revised the same shall ba rati-
Had by tbs people at ths polls.
Tbe governor submitted a list of ap
pointments of city and county judges
and solicitors, bnt they were read in ex
ecutive session and will be called for
confirmation Monday.

English Troops, With Big Guns, Sur
rounded In the Hills by Jouborl’s
Forces and Compelled to Capitulate
After a Hard Fight. 1
London, Oct. 81.—The war office has
received a dispatch from General White,,
oommmanding tbe British forces at
Ladysmith, reporting that the Royal
Irish fnslleert, numbering ten moan-
tain batteries and the Gloncester regi
ment, were snrronnded in the hills by
the Boers, and after losing heaTily,
obliged to capitnlsto. General White
adds that the casualties have not been
ascertained yet
The following is the text of General
White’s dispatch to tbe war offloe:
“I have to report a disaster to tbe
tolnmn sent by me to take a position on
a hill lying to the left of the troop*. In
these operations today tbs Royal Irish
Fnsilesrs, numbering ten mountain bat
teries and tha Gloucestershire regiment,
were inrronnded In tbe hills, and after
losing heavily, had to capitulate. The
casualties have not yet been ascertained.
“A man of the fosileers employed as
a hospital ordarly came In under a flag
of trace with a letter from the survivors
of tbe column, who asked for assistance
to bury the dead.
’I fear there is no donbt of the troth
of the report. I farmed a plan in the
carrying ont of which the disaster oc
curred. and I am alone responsible for
the plan. There is no blame whatever
to the troops, as the position was nh-
tenable.” •
General White sends a list of the offi
cers taken prisoners, 4 i in all, some of
whom were wounded.
N'riv, Staggers London.
While minor reverses were not wholly
unexpected, nothing like the staggering
blow General Jonbert delivered to Gen
eral White’s forces yesterday was an
ticipated. The fall extent of tbe dtsas
ter is not yet acknowledged, if it is
known at the war office. The loss in
sffeotive men must bs appalling to a
general who is practically snrronnded.
Two of tbe finest British regimentsi
and a mnls battery dednoted from the
Ladysmith garrison weakens It about
a fifth of ita total strength and alters
the whole sitnation very materially in
favor of tha Boers, who have again
ahown themselves stern fighter* and
military strategists of no mean order.
The disaster cost the British from
1,600 to 3,000 men and six 7-poond screw
gnns, and as tbe Boer artillery is al
ready stronger than imagined, tbe cap-
tnre of these gnns will be a great help
to the Boers.
Farther news mast be awaited before
It is attempted to fix the blame where it
belongs. General White manfully ac
cepts all tha responsibility for tba dis
aster. wbiob, apparently, was at least
partially dna to tbe stampeding of the
males with the gnns.
The interest in the news was univer
sal, pervading all classes and conditions
of London’s populace. The newspaper
extne were eagerly read in business*
honse*, on the streets and by women
in their carriages.
TOOK WHISKY TO CHURCH
RESOLUTION BY STEVENS.
A Better Method of Classifying Cotton
Is Wanted,
Atlanta, Oofc 37.—At the morning
session of the third day of the conven
tion of the Association of tbe Cotton
States Commissioners of Agriculture,
President Stevens offered the following
resolution on the classification of cotton i
“Whareas, The annual loss accruing
aach year in the handling of the cotton
crop, growing ont of the lots of weight
and failure of bales to coma np to the
sample of classification, whioh Is dne to
the fact that there la no standard sys
tem of weight and classification, and,
Whereas, these reclamations destory
the profits of the bnsiness to the mer
chant tnd indireotly is taken from the
pocket* of the prodaoers;
“Be it resolved, by this convention,
That we nse onr earnest and energetic
efforts to bring abont the proper stand
ard of welghti and classification of ths
staple, by urging snoh legislation as to
bring about the desired resalts, and,
“Be It resolved further, That we In
vite tbe assistance and oo-operation of
snoh exporters of cotton who realize the
importance of the movement and who
are, from experience, in position to fur
nish substantial aid.”
The resolution was adopted.
Cable From Ueueral Otis.
Washington, Oot 38.—The war de

dispatoh from General Otis: “Yonng

E*rruchi*r App’*nlr«l to tin* Courts ntt<l
Won II:s Point*
Griffin, Ga., Oct. 30 — Justice Rea-
gan hoe decided that a sick wife in
cbnrcb doss not excuse her husband for
carrying along a bottle of whisky. Ths
decision was tha resole of a drive by a
Mr. Brace to a conutry church with a
■apply of whisky under bis baggy seat.
It did not take the clergyman who
waa preaching long to discover that
there was a greater attraction ontside
than inside the charcb, and that Mr.
Brnce's-bnggy waa more popular than
the pnlplt.
He made an appeal to tbe courts, in
whioh the legal decision was that “tha
provision of law is violated when a per
son attending chorch has in his buggy
a bottle of whisky and tba buggy la left
standing within 300 yards of the cbnrcb
building.”
Tbe defense was that tha liquor was
carried to be nsed by Mr. Braoe’e wife
in case of illnei*. Mr. Brace will appeal.
Another Cotton Gin Victim,
Florence, 3. O., Nov. 1.—Captain B.
B. McWblte, a man well known ihrongb-
ont ths atate, having represented hit
ooonty for four years in tht house ol
representatives, baa been killed by hit
cotton gin. This is the fifth death from
the same canto in Sontb Carolina this
season. Captain MoWhite’s arm was
caught in tho saws and terribly mangled.
It «m neces-ary to amputate It, and be
could not stand the shock.
Preacher’s Child Burned.
Colquitt, Ga., Nov. 1.—The home of
