Conference Ends
Washington, May 3.-Scna‘or Bacon, By Telegraph to the Herald,
whose protest to the War Department Washington, May 3.—Without adopt-
yesterday brought the final action upon I i»B a single resolution outlining any
the new Sherman march to the sea course ot action or any policy, the
episoJe, said today of the President’s
order in the case:
“The President, in my opinion, lost
his opportunity. The military expedition
in Georgia is in defensible, and when
he issueJ an order in rogard to it
he ou'ght simply to have ordered the
military detachment to return to caihp
anu the officers and men to attend to
their legitimate duties.
“By ordering them to proceed to Re*
saca he puts his approval on the expe
dition. If wrong it ought to have been
arrested at once. If right for it to go
to Resaca, It is right for it to go to
Savannah. Every moment the expedi
tion is authorised to proceed in Geor
gia is properly a cause of offense to
the people of Georgia.”
conference of the cotton growers and
manufacturers became a thing of the
past test night. Today many of the
delegates are out sightseeing.
An attempt was made during the (
conference to secure the passage of a 1
resolution urging the government to
do away with the crop condition re
ports by the Agricultural Department.
This was finally ItU upon the table.
The growers wanted a permanent I
organization between themselves and I
the spinners, that their scheme of sel-1
ling direct to the manufacturers might j
be advanced. This was opposed by
the manufacturers. A diplomatic j
committee, brought in a report which |
was adopted declaring delegates from j
various associations represented had
not been empowered to enter into the
perpetuation of the organization.
Thq manufacturers were not enthus
iastic about the plan of the growers to
build warehouses, grade cotton and
sell direct to the manufacturers, thus
avoiding speculation and middlemen.
Spinners, particularly the English-
Convention Will

day yesterday, discussing the work of
their order, and had morning and af
ternoon sessions.
In the evening Dr. J. Y. Fair, who is
pastor of the Independent Presbyter
ian church of Savannah, delivered a
most impressive sermon. His word
painting of the true King’s Daughter*
illustrated by the woman of Tyre, will
live long in the hearts of all who heard
him.
This afternoon a reception will be
given by the Kings Daughters at the
home of Mrs. L. Johnson, for the del
egates and their hostesses.
Tonight the new officers will be in
stalled, and a consecration service will
close the exercises of the convention.

try Telegraph to the Herald.
Savannah, Ga., May 3.—Tne ap
pointment of Alderman John F. Glat
lgny as state naval stores Inspector
means thut there will be another va
cancy to fill on the Board of Aldermen.
It is expected that Mr. Glatlgny will
resign from the Board as soon as he
gets his commission as Navnl Stores
Inspector.
There was some fast work done by
the friends of the alderman to land
in this excellent and well paying place.
Up to three o’clock Tuesday afternoon
it wus believed that he was beaten.
Then all the aldermen in town gave
him tholr endorsement which were
wired to Atlanta. It is said that Col.
J. H. Est 111 also endorsed him. Mayor
Myers couldn’t as he had already en
dorsed another applicant. The aider-
man can thank his local rrlendB ^ or
the fight they put up for him on the
last day of the race. The place pays
$6,000 a year and there Is little to do.
Mr. Glutigny hus been very active
during his term as alderman and Is
what can be termed a straight ad
mlnstration or Citizens Club man. He
is President of the South Side Citizens
Club.
Coal Miners
May Strike
Scranton, May 3.—The District Con
vention an tbe Anthrucite miners open
ed this morning for the first session
and whole of today was given over to
nothing more thgn mere formalities
and organizations. Public will know
by the end of the week whether or not
there Is to be a strike. The Conven
tion will probably be in session three
duys in order that six hundred deleg
ates may have full opportunity to ex
press themselves on the issue. Mitch
ell opened the convention without an
address. He suid this morning that It
:s doubtful if he would muke any
tended speech during the conven
tion. There is still no absolute cert
ainty as to the outcome though talk
of a strike is strong. Some profess to
bcllevo that Mitchell has something
up his sleeve which he will spring
at the last moment. Others say that
the npcratois may indicate slight con
cession and so on. A member of the
scale commit<>c said this morning:
“Delegates after a full consideration
of all that has been done may vote
to go on strike.” Convention aJjourn-
ed until 1:30 this afternoon, to give
the credential commute opportunity to
go over credentials presented.
The man who runs for office these
lays has got to give his "platform.” It
vas so in this county and it seems i
o be so In practically all the counties

he senate. Most of them seems to be
n line with Hoke Smith and Tom
Watson and Eugene Debs.
