Eagle and Phenix May Be Forced to
Close Down.
Columbus, Ga., July 10.—If the strike
of 40 beamers in the Eagle and Phenix
mill is not settled the mill will close
down until the differences are adjusted.
Practically every beamer in the mill
quit work, claiming that their wages
were cut, the cut averaging 45 cents per
day. Unless the beamers return, or
their places are filled by others, the mill
will be forced to close in a day or two,
as the non-operation of this department
would cripple the mill to the extent that
that it would practically cause a
temporary shut down until the matter
could be settled.
It is stated that the mule spinners
have also struck, claiming that a prom
ised restoration of wages from 80 to 90
cents had not been made.
This was followed by a meeting of the
Central Federation of Labor, at which a
committee was appointed to confer with
the officials of the company to adjust the
matter.

Latest Strike In Crow Mountain Will
Assay $1,000 Per Ton.
Dahlonega, Ga., July 7.—A rich
pocket of gold has been found in a vein
running through a Crow mountain tun
nel. The ore, as assayed, will yield
§1,000 per ton. The average yield of the
vein in which this pocket was struck is
about §5 per ton, and when it is consid
ered that the entire mountain is made
of “pay dirt,” which, though of low
grade ore, is very easily worked, it will
be seen that these numerous pockets
make the property one of the best m the
state.
The Hand mine is in full swing. An
enormous quantity of concentrates is on
hand, soon to be run through the Chlori
nation plant, one of the best in the

ODELL MAKES A STATEMENT
Alleged. Plot to Assassinate President
McKinley Is Ridiculed.
Newburgh, N. Y , July 11.—Chair
man B. B. Odell of the Republican com
mittee said concerning the alleged plot
to as-assinate President McKinley:
“I have read the account in a New York
paper with reference to an alleged plot
to assassinate the president and also as
to the part which I am supposed to have
taken iu the matter. I have nothing to
say upon the subject except that I have
made an investigation which I started
with the state committee detective on
the line of what I supposed to be politi
cal information and I discovered either
a crank or a Baron Munchausen, and on
the principle that an ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of curl, it is prob
able that my report to Secretary Dick is
the cause for the extra care now being
taken of the president. I have nothing
further to say on this subject except that
I regret that some one has been indis
creet enough to make of a trifling matter
the gigantic plot published in the papers.

anything else, as he was up again in a
minute or two. Some damage has been
done to telephone wires by the display.

RUN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
Train With $3,000,000 on Board
Wrecked Near Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 11.—According
to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad a deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express bearing $3,000,-
000 to the subtreasury iu New York
came near being successful at Folsom, a
short distance outside of this city. The
train consisted of two sleepers, two day
coaches and three baggage cars and left
Washington at 11:30 o’clock last night.
It was due here at 3:10 o’clock this
morning.
While going at a good rate of speed,
it ran into an open switch at Folsom.
The engine was overturned and three
baggage cars were derailed, but no one
was injured.
An examination of the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that the
switch had been tampered with, for the
apparent purpose of wrecking the train.
Whether it was done with the intention
of wrecking the express bearing the cur--
rency could only be conjectured. The
railroad officials have placed detectives
on the case and have offered a reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of
those tampering with the switch.
WILLIAM WALDORF ASTOR
His Social Career In London Brought
to an Abrubt Close.
London, July 11.—William Waldorf
Astor’s sudden departure for Germany
at the very height of the season, the can
celling of all his engagements here and
the recall of the invitations which he

Cliveden, are regarded as signalizing
the closing of his social career in Lon
don.
It is openly declared here that the
Prince of Wales, who is the supreme
arbiter of English society, has cut him
in consequence of his insulting treat
ment of Sir Archibald Milne last week
and London is only too ready to take its
cue in the matter from its future king,
as Mr. Astor, in spite of his wealth and
the magnificence of his entertainments,
has made many enemies by his numer
ous idiosyncrasies and by his extraordin
ary arrogance.

POINTS OF THE PLATFORM.
Synopsis of the Leading Issues of the
Campaign.
Kansas City, July 6.—Following are
the principal points of the Democratic
platform:
Reaffirmation of allegiance to the con
stitution.
Government not based on the consent
of the governed is tyranny.
Porto Rican law enacted by the Re
publican congress is denounced, «as it
taxes, without representation, people
who were pledged to honest treatment.
Prompt fulfillment of our promises to
the Cuban people is demanded that the
raid of the carpet-buaggers may be cut-
short.
Policy of the present administration
in the Philippines is condemned and de-
nouuced because it puts the United
States in the false and un-American po
sition of crushing with military force
the efforts of former allies to achieve
liberty and self government.
Favors election of United States sena
tors by the people.
Opposes government by injunction,
denounces the black list and favors ar
bitration.
Recommends that congress create a
department of labor in charge of a sec
retary with a seat in the cabinet.
Insists on the reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes and a return to
the time honored Democratic policy of
strict economy in governmental expend
itures.
Demands the continuance and strict
enforcement of the Cliinse exclusion
law and itsapplicalion to the same classes
of all Asiatic races.
Favors the immediate construction,
ownership and control of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States, and de
nounces the insincerity of the plank in
the national Republican platform for an
isthmian canal iu the face of the failure
of the Republican party to pass the bill
pending in congress.
Views with indignation the purpose
of England to overwhelm with force the
South African republics, and speaking
for the entire American nation except
its Republican officeholders, and for all
freemen everywhere, it extends our
sympaties to the heroic burghers in their
nneqnal struggle to maintain their lib
erty and independence.
A strict maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine is demanded as necessary to
prevent extension of European author
ity on this continent and as essential to
our supremacy in American affairs.
Condemns the Dingley tariff as a trust
breeding measure, skilfully devised to
give the few favors which they do not
desire, and to place upon the many bur
dens which they should not bear.
Opposes militarism, as it means con
quest abroad aud intimidation and op
pression at home. It means the strong
arm which has ever been fatal to free
institutions. It is what 'millions of our
citizens have fled from iu Europe.
Private monopolies are designated as
indefensible and intolerable, as they de
stroy competition, control the price of
all material and of the finished product,
thus robbing both producer and con
sumer: and lessen the employment of
labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and
conditions thereof aud deprive individ
ual energy and small capital of their op
portunity for betterment.
The principles of the national Demo
cratic platform adopted at Chicago in
1896 are reaffirmed aud indorsed and the
demand of that platform for an Ameri
can financial system made by the Amer
ican people themselves, who shall re
store and maintain a bemetallic price
level, as part of such system the imme
diate restoration of the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation, is reiterated.
Sail For England.
Cape Town, July 11.—The Dube of
Marlborough, the Duke of Norfolk, Lady
Sarah Wilson and Dr. Conan Doyle
have sailed for England.
Cold Steel or Death.
“There is but one small chance to
save your life and that is through

FOREIGNERS UNDER FIRE,
Four Days’ Engagement at Tien Tsin.
Chinese Fight Desperately.
Tien Tsin, July 10.—It is reported
from Chinese sources that the foreigners
at Peking have taken possession of one
of the prince’s palaces opposite and com
manding the British legation and that
the native Christians have been installed
therein.
Che Foo, July 10. — Refugees who
have arrived from Tien Tsin bring the
following information:
“The Chinese resumed the bombard
ment of the foreign quarter last Tues
day and noncambatants were ordered to
leave. The bombardment is described
as the worst yet experienced, but there
were no civilian casualties, though many
marvellous escapes are reported. A
force of British aud Russians tried to
silence the Chinese guns, but retired
without. effecting their object. Two
guns from the Terrible silenced the Chi
nese guns ou Thursday, but the artillery
duel commenced ou Friday.
“Seven hundred Russians are occupy
ing the railway and station at Tong Ku.
Japanese troops are landing at Taku.”
The immediate object of the allies is
to take the native city and stop the bom
bardment.
Another Severe Engagement.
Tien Tsin, July 10.—The Chinese
shelled the foreign settlements all day
long July 3. Upward of 150 shells fell
into the concession and many houses
were partially wrecked. The casualties,
however, were few, the civilians and
women and children being ordered to
seek shelter in the cellars of the town
hall and the Astor hotel.
Three companies of Japanese infantry,
a mountain battery and a body of Rus
sians engaged the Chinese artillerists,
but with little effect. The 12-pounder
of the British first class cruiser Terrible
then came into action, but the enemy
placed two shells fairly under the gun,
damaging the carriage and wounding
the crew. The gun was withdrawn and
replaced by a French gun, which had a
similar experience, a shell bursting in
the midst of it.
Distributed In Germany.
Berlin, July 10.—A Gorman pamph
