Mr. Manderson stated there would
ko no opposition, he thought, to the
consideration of resolutions this morn
ing. He wished to say for himself aud
name others that the stand token yes
terday meant no measure of disrespect
to the senator from California. Rec
ognising the ability and fitness of that
senator, there has been no personal
feeling lu the matter, but it lmd been
thought desirable that, that important
vacancy should not be tilled without
full consideration. ,
Mr. Udl concurred in the expression
of Uie hope that the resolution might

sition. The resolution was then agreed
to without division.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. Murphy, that there should bo no'
further legislation or change In reve
nue laws at this session, was then laid
before the senate.
Mr. Gorman asked that the resolu

wished to make a suggestion to the
senator from New York. The request
'was compiled with and Mr. Gorman
moved over to the seat of Mr. Murphy,
where the two senators had a short
conversation.
In the meantime the vice-president
laid before tile senate the. resolution,

Ing the finance committee to. report

Thomas E. Watson Made a Big Speech
at Sandersvlllq Yesterday.
Sander* vllle, Aug. 18.—(Sperial.)—
Thomas (E. Watson, the Southern clwun-
pi'on of the third party, spoke to about
2,000 people in the court house yard
here today. He was Introduced by
Stanley Klfcirell. a farmer of this coun
ty. Although this Is one of his strong
holds, itiiens was very little cheering
whn he was presented tb the crowd. He
said he entertained no 111 feeling toward
any oik*, but that the Democratic load
er* of 1&92 were corrupt and had not
parried out fchelr promises. Third party
men, he saidjwere accused of being An-
ttfchlsts, but the accusers were man
who (held office. He dtecuso-cd the Pop
ulist platform at length, the financial
part, government ownership of rail
roads, the present public school system,
the coiwlat lease system, mob violence,
pure ballot box. and other parts, show
ing his opnlon of the platform. While
epevtklng of the railroad plank he said
that the iron road should be public
like til,* dirt road: that the people keep
up the Savannah river and the Oconee
river, and that the poorest negro In
the country Is free while traveling In a
row bout on these streanw; and he was
In favor of the government owning the
railroads because they were paying
well and that it would not bankrupt
the country tb purchase and run them.
He said we heeded more money to do
business and live here. When the Dem
ocrats Wept Into power the people were
getting, under the Republican adminis
tration. about three-fourths the silver
to whioh they were entitled, but since
the Democrats had control all was tak
en away. He talked considerably about
taxes and how the government was'
spending the people's money. He ar
raigned the Democratic state govern
ment omd some bf the congressmen
from Georgia.
(Mr. Watson said that when Governor
Northen was elected he was to work’
great good, but that he had benefltted
no bne but himself. When asked what
Mr. Muses and some others had done
beneficial to the country, he fltatnd that
lalvIngsLon. In his last race for renornl-
mtJlan, bad done what #eter did—de
nied his XJbrtl.
He Aild there never was and never
Will be a real Democratic negro; that
you can get him to vote the ticket and
you can induce him to dig ditches, but
when «een thus doing he 8s certainly
pafid. A Democratic negro Is like Ice
In summer—you have to wrap it In,
blankets nnd put it in a dark place
and nett up and watch t*.» It.
Mr. Watson further stated that he
had never favored nor talked social
equality; that ulthough Mr. Cleveland,
when governor -of Now York, arranged
the school system bo ns both whites
and blacks would be instructed at the
same • place, he was. oppoeed to any
such and would otnrtr favor It He
•poke considerably on this line tb get
tne negro captured, and. In his charac
teristic way was frequently applauded.
In closing his remarks he heaped en*
conlums upon Judge Hines nnd urg
ently requested the people to support
him for governor,
Ofr. Watson spoke two hours and fif
teen minutes. His speech was Home-
wluut conservative, and it must be said
that everything was very quiet and
there was Httle enthusiasm. The crowd
was composed of men, wbmen. child»en
an<l a multitude of negroes, many of
them being from adjoining counties.
There was also a large number of Dem
ocrats in the audience.
•Before the speaking the third party
nominated Its present represantatives
in the legislature. I. A. Smith and W.
T, Askew and nominated or indorsed
W. J. 'Hotiper of Baldwin counity as
their candidate .for the senate from the
Twentieth district. If the Populists
made any converts today It is not

Atlanta, ‘Aug. 18.—(Special.)—The
Georgia Pacific, with 3t5 mlle#^>f track,
fell into the lap of the South&rn Rail
way Company today on the bld«of Mr.
C. H. Coster, representative bf Drexel,
Morgan & Co., acting under the re
organisation scheme being perfected by
that concern, -who offered $500,000 even,
the minimum amount at which the
property could be sold under the order
of ithe court, and depositing a certified
check of $50,000 as a guarantee of good
Caltih. Judge Ndwman of the United
States court for the northern district
of Gieorgia confirmed -tho sale shortfy
after OIr. Coster's bid was accepted.
Judges'NLles of (Mississippi and Bruce
of Alabama will be applied to for con
firmation Monday, und on September
1 /the Southern will take actual charge
of 'the new acquisition. J*
A flurry was created before the sale
by the report that the Seaboard Air
Line had determined to scoop in the
Georgia Paelfls and would outbid the
Southern, but this report did not ma
terialize 4n fUCt, the only offer made
being thut of Mr. Coster.. The saJo
brought together a large crowd of rail
road men, among them a party of the
most prominent managers In the South.
President Samuel Spencer of the South
ern, Vice Presidents Andrews and
Baldwin, General Manager Green and
Hudson were on the ground.
,Mr. Henry Crawford* the Nbw (York
lawyer who has played a loading (hand
in the Southern railroad situation dur
ing the past three years, was also on
hand.
Mr. Stet9on, general counsel for tho
Southern, was pn-.v-n-t with President
Spvnver and his party.
The acquisition of the Georgia Pa
cific is the last link *in the Southern’s
big- chain, so far as plans have been
matured, ht Is a very important factor
in t'hc sytftetai. The completion of the
reorganization scheme by whioh the
Southern restores these badly demor
alized railway properties to a solvent
basis coinnot fall to 'have a good effect.
The Georgia Pacific property. sold* .vwluy
comprises the main line from Atlanta
to Birmingham, 167 miles; -the line froim
Birmingham to Columbus, Miss., 124
miles, nnd a number of bruncfii lines
in both.Alabama and Mtesloslppl, the
belt lines connoting with the Rich
mond and Danville In Atlanta, with
all terminal facilities, side tracks, etc.,
making a total of 375 45-100 mllee of
track. In addition to this is the exten
sion from Columbus, Miss., to Johns-
ville, Miss., 140 miles, and also from
Arkamus City to Grenada, 75 miles. ‘
In announcing the conditions of the
Bale Mr. E. A. Angler, the commls-
8-4ner acting, snld that the road would
be sold ’*a« an entirely and in one par
cel. without Valuation, appraisement,
redemption or extension, and subject
to a first mortgage to the*Central Trust
Company of Now York, trustee, dated
May 6, 18882, and to a mortgage to the
Metropolitan Trust Company, trustee,
dated October 1, 1883, so far as they
are Hera upon any part of the prop
erty above described, and subject to
two equipment mortgages to the Cen
tral Truat Company of New York, trus
tee, darted respectively July 17, 1889,
and.May 1, 1891, upon eo much of the
property an described hi said two equip

Col. W. A. WlmbWb, special attorney
for the state In the, Western and At

state, put the purchasers on notice
that the Georgia Paelfls had no "legal

Berlin, Aug. ^18.—The grand fall pa-
rndo of tiie guard du corps took place
today on tiio PempeUiofer field. Tho
emperor was acoompauled on horse
back by tho empress. With them
rode the whole imperial suite In the
glory of full gala, dress. Tho revlow
was us imposing as Over. More than
32,000 troops marched past tho impe
rial couple and saluted. Tho' three el
der princes uu^ehed with the first com
pany of foot guards, trotting along
bravely to hold their places lu the vast
procession. The display was watched
t>j the usual crowds, but In tho city
the day was not observed heartily.
Flags were hung in the streets but were
few lu number. , Many Americans had
come from Dresden to join those hero
In seeing the levlew, but most of them
were disappointed, as tho United States
embassy could get only ten permits'for
carriages to draw up by tho llngboats.
All tho rest of the cards hail been given
to officials and other embassies.
Tho emperor’s return to Berlin lias
closed one of his busiest traveling sea
sons. The newspapers say that bailee
tho last August parade on tho l'em-
pelhofer field he lias passed but 1UU
days lu Berlin or I'ottsdam. The other
10l> he has passed In journeys through
Germany or abroad. Ho devoted
twenty-seven days of the 1UD to army
manoeuvres, sixteen to official visits,
twenty-one to lids Abyssinian trip UUd
the remainder to hunting, sailing and
the like. During this time ho uttered
3.U00 kilometres, exclusive of his
many short Journeys in the neighbor-
jiood of Berlin.
The Southern German newspapers
criticise adversely tho emperor’s call
ui>on tho ox-Empress Eugenia in Eng
land, after the Aldershot review last
Tuesday. They contend that whatever
the emperor’s personal feeling may bo
and however irleuTUy Ue may bo dis
posed toward the womau who precip
itated the FiWJe'o-PniBH.un war, lie
cannot divest himself of .the character
of the German emperor. In this char
acter, they add, he oould hardly be re
garded lu place ut Eugenie’s teji table.
Tlie Dresdener Nachtrlehtcu speaks
thus pointedly: “TJie impulsive high-
raindedtiosH of the emperor must yield
to cool political roflsou. Ihb ex-Edi-
pre«? Eugeiw is not a mere private
person/ and In visiting her tho em
peror has placed lihnself La.contradis
tinction with Ids own recent acta of
friendliness to thoi French republic.”
The B Hinnrekiun newspapers com
ment with equal severity ou the em
peror's policy. The editor of tho Ham
burger Nnclitrlcbton la especially vexed
because the emperor woru his English
ulform when ho made the call. Huch
attire, ho says, was on this occasion
quite Incompatible with tlio emperor’ll
position and dignity,

The general belief Jn Berlin Is that
Victoria’s request.
Tim president of the German Agrl
cultural Lenguo recently wrote tc
Chancellor von Cnprlvl a request that
agricultural experts bo attached to Ger
man embassies. Tills request was, sup
ported by a paper signed by members n '* ,e '
of the league: The chancellor decided
tills week to grant tho petition,' and
made provision in tho next budget for
the agricultural attaches, Tlfe duties

bronze weighing several tons, had dropped
out and hud gone to the bottom just
after she passed the Needles.
American yachtsmen here carihot recall
similar accident in a yacht race. Tho
VJgllant’s board was not hung on a pivot
In tne ouWfiwfclonsd way. but waa held
In place by detachable gearing. It may
cek befdro the Vigilant will be
able to race again.
Howard Gould says the Vigilant struck
the ground close to the Needles, the chain
of her centreboard broke nnd sank. He
blames Pilot Diaper for running tho Bloop
aground. Diaper aays that at tho time
he did not know the centreboard was
down. Mr. Gould said he did not think
the Vigilant would get another centre
board hero. He thought she would race
a&uln, however, before leaving English
waters, toward the end of September.
It is Impossible to deny that there Is a
general, feeling of disgust hero at what
in believed to have been a mere scheme
on the part' of those sailing the Vigilant
to avoid racing. Among yachtsmen there
l* hardly one who does not think that
the Vlgllan’t centreboard was sacrificed
for the sako of nppearaTices. The neei-
less tactics after tho accident, the hous
ing of topmast, the ostentatious reduc
tion ot sails, the subsequent^full sailing
to Southampton and Howard Goulds
readiness to be Interviewed are all re
garded as pointing the same moral. Lord
Wolverton’* immediate withdrawal of the
prize snows tho opinion that prevails In
the roynl yacht squadron. A resumption
of the racing between the Britannia nnd
Vigilant la regarded ns extremely doubt-
‘il. #
Tho Field today elves prominence to a
violent letter against the Vigilant, which
Is said to be true reflection of English
comments heard on all sides, but which
have not yet appeared In print. The
writer of the letter says that Interna
tional courtesy has been overdone, espe
cially as, In his view, this courtesy Is
not reciprocal. It is assorted that the
American’s cup wan defended by n "con
struction” which In no way conformed to
British Moos of a yacht, and that, after
shifting ballast, -was used during the
cup races. The letter then recounts cer.
tain alleged violation by the Vigilant of
tho British Yacht Racing Association's
rules uu to wooden bulkheads, fitting 1 *,
etc., nnd says that the Vjgllant was not
measured "unll British patience was ex
hausted." Tho writer In' the Field oaks
it tho Vigilant Is to bo allowed to break
every crul with “ an empty shell for a
hull which is ineligible to competo with
racing yachts and with a crow of Norsy^
men and with English sails. In conclusion
tho Vigilant’s critic remarks that British
ers boast In their national pride "of a
British ship, not a machine, with British
canvas and imnned by British sailors."

The Vlgllant-Brltannla Race Yesterday

Tolland Bay, Auj?. 18.—The original I

match race between the Britannia an I *
Vigilant for ho Wolverton <’iip was
hare- the racers townc-1 to the start!
point by the r.jy.il Hiram yacht Osborn*-
end Hr. Gould's Atalanta. There wjuj
enough breeze from ih<? northw;st, how
ever, to allow th* yachts to put out from
the rendezvous here under ih^ir own
Balls. The Atalanta and the Oftbome i-re*
ceded the racers. They were to have been
btarted from the Osborne, which was to
have steamel to lewnnl-of the Keedlcn
ten miles und then- anchor. Had it not
been for an unusual mlnh-ip to the Vigi
lant the court*- would have te n from a
point ten milce soutla-aBt of the Needles,
dead against the wind and a run back
with spinnaker# itet.
The yacht* joa umler way at 1030 and
passed ’down the Solent. Th# -trrn’. •
after ruundtng' She Needles, beaded to
the eastward Into Fresh Water bay. The
Vigilant was then standing close to the
her topsail, took In her fbrestay sail and

lhat she was disabled, and boats put oat
promtuiMit officers who hud seea flotivp
service on tho occnslon either of *ho
restoratloQ or of tho civil war In Sat-
Htiinn.
Tho Japancno Gazette says: “Tho
whole mttlon to Imbued with one spirit
—to humiliate China. High alia Jaw,
rich and poor, soldiers and merch.inin,
have but one desire. The probable oon*
sequences are utterly Ignored. No
thought of possible reveraes or of bloody
reprisals upon Japan’s co.iffts or of
flnamclal confusion daunts their War
like ardor. In Jatpun’s Immense supe
riority they repose the utmost confi
dence. Nor to the temper of tho Chi
nee. ho far as it can be gathered from
Bhanghal papers just received, one whit
le«* bellicose. They nro the more dang
erous because /they admit that {At first
Japan may b*» victorious. But the ulti
mate itwuu they have no doubt of. Ja«
pan. wkth Its slender resources of men
ujkI money, they any, can never be u
match 4n tho long run for China’s mil
lions. The magnitude! of the prepara
tions might well make Japan pauae It
she had not already proceeded tho f^r
to extricate herself without Iouh ot pres
tige. But this U Impossible, and the
two nmttono new stand committed-,to
war.
Produce, on account of tho war, to
rising in price.”
Tho Toatal. says the North China
Dully News, hns tiotliled foreign cormul
that measures will soon be /taken to
close Woo Hung bar. The-same pap*r
states that 12.000 trounw have been tufely
landed In Corea. The Nunyang s<iu til-
ron 1* to attack the coast of Japtn
while the F\x> Chow and Conton ships
are *to make In attempt Da the*Loo

It to thought tbo viceroy will content
himself wltii operations in Corea.
The CltltwKO learns thnt 200.000

The Tien Tain oorryspondeot of tho
Chinese Gazette s.iys: "We hear from
Cor^a. on good authority that a great
<K£al of filckneus prevtill* among the
Chinese troops and that they ere hang
