A por- W gentlemen could possibly do it. Tho people had not only demanded It, but hail fixed the time for it. All senators und members would resign their offices at the times fixed by the people. The vice president would resign his high ofllce on the 14th of 'March, 1897. He would yield It without any further prumptng or proposing or requesting. He might be promoted to un olBce more Honorable or with more power, or he might be called to some other form of public service or he might re- 1,1 e into private life. But, like dll tho rest of them, he had to resign sit the •time which the people had fixed. "Tho worthy gentlemen” who had signed these petitions must have done so with out having read or undo stood the ur- rangemenke which hud been mode on the subject with the assent of almost •the entire body of tho American people. Tue petitions had been printed and sent out for signatures under tho man agement of Morrison L. Swift, who has obtained considerable notoriety in con nection with the Coxey and similar movements. In the morning hour ai bill was passed to amend the not of January 26, 1893, to authorize the construction of bridges ccrofcs the Hfctwassee, Ten nessee and Clinch rivers In Tennessee. The consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was resumed, but it was side-tracked for a couplo of hours in order to have the question of rail road stations and depots In Oklahoma Territory fought out. It came as a part of a conference report. The sfde of the railroad companies was taken by Messrs. Blackburn and Platt, and'that of the people of Round Pond and Enid by Messrs. Berry, 'Harris, Palmer and Pager, and the result was that the popular side prevailed and that the senate amendment, which Is favorable to title railroads, was receded from by a vote of 24 to 29. Some additional work for Mr. Gray's sugar investigating committee had been proposed by Mr. Chandler, who offered a resolution Instructing the committee to inquire into the facts connected with the organization and history of the Dominion Coal Com pany of Nova Scoria, whether the com pany owed its organization to as surances that 'the tariff duty on coal shall be repealed by congress, arid who gave such assurances, with the resolu tion will come up tomorrow. The conference report on the agricul tural appropriation blll-was presented and agreed to. The senate receded from the Russian thistle million dollar amendment.

Adjourned until tomorrow, with out disposing of the bill. tlon of the Cninese soldiers engaged in these battles were the boot troops of the northern army of Viceroy LI Hung Chang. The Chines* losses were small. The North China News confirms tho re ports of fighting at Yashan. ‘ It says that the Japanese brought up for the attack every available man, almost denuding Seoul of troops. The successful defense made by the Chlneae was directed by Eu ropean officers. A tetter from Hankow says that the out break of hostilities has revived all the nstivlst fanaticism of the Chinese. For eigners are Insulted openly and violcnco Is feared. Nine heavy guns have been added to the artillery at Taku harbor in the last three days and submarine mines have been laid In expectation of un at tack from the Japanese fleet. Cheat alarm Is felt at Taku, as the people there be lieve that any day may bring several Jap anese war veivcls and bombardrikiet. The stream lauchea of the Chinese custom service are scouring along the coast to ascertain whether or not the Japanese ure approaohlng.. Their officers, deport that several Japanese cruisers have been seen in Othc ulf of Fechlll. The ability of the Taku forts to withstand a bombardment Is doubted. The fort berks were not built to resist the fire of modern guns. TILLMAN RSUMBS BUSINESS. He Has Opened ’His Dispensaries at the Old Stnnds, IN THE HOUSE. Washington, Aug. 1.—Mr. Hatch re ported the result bf the conference on the senate amendment to the agricul tural appropriation bill, appropriating 81,009.000 for the extinction of the Rus sian thistle In the Northwest.

Washington, Aug. 1.—A crazy stone cutter from Boston named Thomas Cod- ogan, who has frequently visited the ’White House In the past few days, ask ing for work at bis trade and always Columbia, S. C.. Aug. I.—The dispen saries opened again this morning throughout the state, but nowhere was there any trouble. The people paid lit tie attention to the matter. The only change noticeable was that the dispen saries added to the number of saloons already open. There Is a tacit under standing that Governor Tillman will give tho saloon men fifteen diys In which to disposer of their utock. It Is understood that he will after that tlmo notify them that they must absolutely quit business and will Instruct consta bles tb see that the law is enforced. Under these circumstances the saloons are still doing business unmolested and the dispensaries made fear sales today. No one has been employed In the statu dispensary except a sufficient force to ship any orders coming from the county dispensaries. The stock ready for ship ment In bottles amounts to 004 barrels, whtchi will last some time. OPPOSITION KEPT OPEN SHOP. Chsrfeston, Aug, 1.—The reopening of the dispensaries under Oovernbr Till man’s proclamation today was unat tended by sny Incident. The old dis pensaries were reopened at 7 a. m„ but had very little business to do. Tho barrooms which have been running openly since the law was declared on- ccnstltutl'onal by the supreme court, made no pretense of cloalng. One or two of them had closed their doors and some had retired their liquor bottl-s to greater privacy and brought Into orom inence the solt drink ptiraphernalii, but even that dodge was not resorted to by the majority of them. The plain and. mixed drinks were dispensed over the counters without any attempt at dis guise. and the dealers generally ex pressed the purpose to live In peace and quiet and let the state alone If, It let them alone. It is probable that tills peaceful state of affairs will go undis turbed for some days to come. In Al ken both dispenser and clerk were sum moned to appear before the municipal court tomorrow to answer a charge bf violating the town ordinance which re quires a license to sell beer and wines. Atlanta. Aug. 1.—(Special.)—Hon. Y. Atkinson will be put in nomina tion for governor tomorrow by Hon. Hewlett N. Hall, his law partner. Tho nomination will be seconded by Hon. Robert, L. Berner of Monroe county, Hon. Jnjneo H. Blount, Jr., of 'Bibb and Senator J. B. FeafSons. The state convention will be called order at 10 o'clock by Judge Alton Fort, chairman of -the state executive committee. Ex-Governor Boynton, who came up from Griflln this afternoon, will In all probability be made tempo rary chairman, though Mr. T. R. R. Cobb will continue his fight for that honor to the last. He claims tonight have pledges of support from forty- seven deleagrions. Hon. A. S. Clay of Cobb county will be permanent chairman of ithe conven tion and Ool. Bill Harris of Worth, secretary. Unless the most reliable prognosti cation falls, Hon. Robert Berner will be oh.ilrman of the platform commit tee, which position -will be one of tho most Important In connection with the convention, os tall Interest is centered in''the nature of the platform and reso lutions to be adopted. Aside from this the delegates talk about nothing else, except legielatlve'pofillcs. The best estimate that can bo given tonight Is ithat the resolutions passed will Indorse President Cleveland's ad ministration, but expressing differences with him -In matters of detail on finan cial questions. The 'platform will in all probability declare for the free and un- HmUted coinage of silver, without nam ing any ratio. Mr. Atkinson said tonight that iho was glad to see the delegates arriving early and discussing tho business of the convention. He thinks this Inter change of views will result in harmo nious action tomorrow. There are great many delegates, who deplore tho Issue ‘that seems unavoidable on the unqualified indorsement of tho admin istration, und this conservative element will likely play a strong hand tomor row In keeping down tolly on the part of the radical antl-admlnlstratlontotn. The hotels are overflowing and many of the boarding houses are also full, Indloajtng an immense gathering to morrow. t The most ncttoeniblo feature of tho gathering today has been the targe pro portion of legislative nominees and prospective candid'aitds on the supremo bench and other positions. Among these hard missionary -work is being done. 'Among the arrivals tonight was Hon. A. O. Bacon, who will speak ait tomor row night’s big Democratic rally. The following compose the Macon delegation who -have arrived up to tonight: Frank Leverett, W. W. Solo mon, A. M. WolUiln, A. A. Allen. W. G. F. Price, B. M. Hardeman. John L. Hardeman. Morris Happ, R. H Smith, B. VV. Sperry, E. D. Huguenln, BUTLER AND TILLMAN. The Meeting Attended With Much Howling and Partisan Feeling. Charleston, S. C.. Aug. 1.—A special to the News and Courier says: At the campaign meeting at Spartanburg to day there were symptoms of ye olden time howl downs. Not of You mans, Orr or any of than band, but of radi cal reformers. That dyed-in-the-wool reformer. Dr. •Sampson Pope had a very unsatisfactory hearing. Then, too, Ool. Darey Duncan and Gen. Hugh Farley did not have a bed of roses, came very near being a howl, but was not Intended for that. It was more of an expression of unbridled prejudice and preference for John Garey Evans and Standard Wilson. ' The excitable enthusiast* could not brook attacks up on their favorite. Governor Tillman had the crowd, so did Evans and Wll. son. but in the chief debate Gen. But ler set the pace. He made a pitched tone and eloquent speech without any personal allusions. Governor TMlmnn could 111 afford to do otherwise. The crowd got rampant at times In He evi dence of loyalty to Tillman, Evans, Wilson, Lurry Gantt and the dispen sary. The more that is seen ell Uis more certain does it appear that there It a severe fight going on right among the reformers, aa there was between conservatives and Tillmanites. W. F. Womnck. C. I.

L—It was thought that whou tlio Democratic members of tiic couferenco committee ou the turlffi bill adjourned tills afternoon something dcfinlto would have been agreed upon, but tbo reverso wus tlie result. TUu cuufcrcus were, to use tbo hmguugo of oue.of tho senators, as far apart as tha Urst day they mot mbout tlio conferonuo table. At tlio close of tlio norulng ses sion Gliiiivma.u Wilson, who represent* tbo administration on tho oummlttco, wont directly to tho White House und had n long canferenco with tlio presi dent. During tho ufteruoou Senator Jouos visited Secretary Carlisle nnd discussed tlio situation with that olfi- clnl. Out of those two visits It was bo- Uoved harmony and unity of action would come, but such hopes were doomed to disappointment.'Whoa theso conferees met again this afternoon n number of tontutlvo prepositions were advanced by tlio bouse, but uouu ot thorn were such that tliuy could ho ac cepted by tho senate. It Is known tlint tho sugnr schedulo alouo prevents nn agreement, nnd that ns soon ns that is out of the way, tho rest of tho work will require but n very short ,tlmc. At tho conference today tbo houso members offered os a solution of tho trouhlo tho original Bclicdule pro posed by tbo senate, granting a specific duty of 1 cent a pound for sugnr testing 80 degrees, .-uni ile-n progressing up ward to refined sugar, but this was re jected as not acceptable to tbo senuta. Hevernl oilier suggestions were mude, but the senate conferees notified Uiclc colleagues that no schedule could lie agreed to that did not include tbo dif ferential to refined sugar. After more or less discussion tbo couferenco ad journed to moot tomorrow morning nd 19 o'clock, in tlio hope that tho dlllicult problem might bo solved at tlint time. It Is learned that tbo bopo of tbo sen ate's speedy netlan was duo to tho talk of tho houso members yesterday, iudlcntlng that they were ready to con sider tin- items of tho senate la tha proper light, but when tlicy-cnmo Into conference again today the houso mem bers pursued their former iiollcy of re fusing to consider anything but n loll down on tho part of tlio senato. The sennto members wero feeling very bluo over tlio situation tonight, and ono Henutor, not a member of tins conference, but one who is lu touch with all that Is done there, made tint statement that ho would not bo sur prised If another disagreeing ropot-3 wore nindo within tlio next two oc three iluyH. When It was suggosteil that tills might kill tho bill, tho only, reply was “Tho prcslilont Is responsi ble for that result If It comes upon tin) country nnd uo ouo olso is.” This sentiment was ulso echoed by, another leading member of tho so-' culled conservatives who lins been keeping h very closo wntch on tho pro ceedings of tho conference. It I* probable Hint Die select commit tee of the senate appointed to lnvesti- giiin tho doings of tho sugar ti-UHt In conaectldu with tho formation of tha tariff hill, will make Its report to tho sounto tomorrow. Tho committee wus tn executive session today considering the question of a report nnd tho publi cation of Ufo testimony taken on thu latest phase of tho case, tho nllicd ohm-gen against Senator Cnniden, charg ing him with having speculated In su gar certificates. It Ih understood to night that upun .Ills pnrt of tho lnves- . tlgnUon the commlttco will bo qulto unanimous, and that they will nt least suggest Hint Mr. Camden has conducted Ills business affairs In tliiH matter lu such n way tlint there was some ground for die newspaper publications. Upon tho other mutters at Issue tlio pnrt tho sugar trust played In tlio whole business, there will Iki a diverg ence of views and the Republicans will tako tile ground that the trust proba bly exerted mi undue Influence in tbo fouudntlou of the sugar schedule and Imd some powerful friends nt court when tlio sugar question enme up for consideration. Tlie printed testimony, which will bo given out with Um re port! contains little of general Interest that bus not been published heretofore. Hie New York Examiner Compares Hls Oratory to Abo Lincoln's. Dr. Oambrell of Mercer University evidently made a marked Impression during hls stay In Toronto while at tending tho Btptlst Young Peaple’a Union convention. Dr. Oambrell spoke nt the Metro poll tan church nnd the following la what Henry C. Nedder, the noted religious writer on the New York Examiner, has to say of Mercer's brainy president: "Dr. Gamhrell spoke on 'The Church of the Future—wiistr and hi* dry hu mor. shrewd sense and spt way ot put ting things carried all before them. I never beard Abraham Lincoln speak, but of all orator*. North or Bouth.whopi I have heard. Dr. Oambrell Impresses me ta moat like the accounts I have read of Lincoln's oratory. He may not think thia a high compliment, but I mean It tor one all the same—or rather. It seems to me to be the exact truth, wht'-h Is abovt and beyond compli ment.''
