The reasons offered yesterday -by Mr. Harris, who appointed Mr. White of California to till the vacancy on the anance committee, were laid before the 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 he adopted this moruhig without oppo 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 tion be laid nsido temporarily, ns he 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, ottered yesterday by Mr. Grey, jnstruot- Ing the finance committee to. report back the free sugar bill with nu amend ment providing a revenue duty on all sugars without any differential duty ou refined sugars. To that resolution a substitute was ot:.T. il l.y Mr. Manderson instrifting the committee on finance to report back the bill leaving sugar free and re enacting the provisions of tho McKin ley act for a sugar bounty, A demand for a division on the ques- Hth of Mr. Manderson’s substitute was made by Mr. Turple. and a long dis cussion ensued on tho parliamentary point involved In It. The vice-president ruled that the votes should be taken ou the Muiiderson amendment and that lhat was not ndvlsnble.

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 knbwn.

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 ment mortgagts." _ Col.

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 emperor visited Eugenio at (juoon 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 of the new officials will bo to watch and report on crops, agricultural ma chinery and general Improvement in fanning methods throughout the world. Most of the Anarchlsts wlio were ar rested this week In Berlin have been known for some time as violent law breakers. They are quite different from the French theorists who have Just been tried In Purls. Only one man of education is now posing in Berlin us a defender of the Anarchists. IIo is the versatile Freiherr von Eggy, who contested-a seat for tho reichatag hero last summer. In ills Journal, the Rec onciliation# bo published on Monday defeats of Bantu Gawrto, the mur derer of President Carnot. “Caeserto did not murder for tho j»ako of raunle 5ng,” wrote Kggy. “Quite possibly ho believed that he was helping to pro tect aud to nsxurc To humanity tho dioj»i sacred privileges of the race.

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." sarks (Monday.
