The races and Pompeii.
These are the two new and (treat at
tractions of the Dixie FUlr this -week.
And. as Thomas Sculbrooke says of him
self. ithey are sufficient. Sufficient to
draw the crowds and out the finishing
touches upon the greatest esptwMon
held in the Sou th for ten years past.
Pompeii alone or the races alone, such
as will be seen this week, would be suf
ficient to muke a very big fair, but the
Dixie Pair managers are giving the
public both, and that, too. In addition
to the hundreds of other interesting at
tractions already running.
Pompeii Is ready to be bathed in fire
tonight, end tho people of Pompeii are
here ready to meet their deaths In the'
lava to be belched forth from Vesuvius.
And Vesuvius is ready to do his part of
the business and belch a thousand dol
lar' worth of fireworks from his crater
tonight The lake fronting ithe site of
the historical city Is ready to bear the
gaily decorated barges of the gay Pom
peiians and to have Its shores washed
with fire and brimstone Instead of wa
ter at the pleasure of the fireworks ma
nipulators. The fishes In the lake are
ready to swtm about tonight in a sea of
fire, and the Pompeiian buildings are
hinged ready to fall on tho populace
aim crush them out of existence until
the next night.
And the public is ready, anxious and
waiting to see this great spectacle. Hun
dreds of people came In yesterday In
order to See the first of the marvelous
fireworks exhibit, and hundreds more
will come In today. The largest crowd
ever seen at Central City park will be
there tonight. Porno ell is on through
out the week, and the grandest specta
cle ever brought to Georgia Will be wit
nessed In Macon by thousands of Geor
gia people during the next six days.

be closed until 0 o'clock this morning,
so that It ts Impossible to publish the
official list of horses entered. Hereaf
ter entries will- he closed on the night
before the race and no horse can get

One of the largest bookmaking con
cerns In the country will have charge
of the pool selling. This firm haa sold
pools for several seasons past on all
the large tracks of the country and It
Is one of the largest and most reliable
bookmaking concerns in the United
States. The exclusive privilege has
been accorded them and no ono else
will be allowed to sell either at the
grounds or elsewhere. Arrangements
have been made to sell pools on the
Dixie Fair races at Putzel's place on
Mulberry street every evening. Frank

prominent ettlsens of the capital city
will be here and they will be given a
good time snd 111 be shown an expo
sition that will make even au Atlanta
man open his eyes with wonder and
admiration. And among the Atlan-
tlane wilt be that.Jolly newspaper roan,
Capt. Evan P. Howell, who will de
liver a speech to the people that will
make them feel in good humor with
themselves, for in a fair speech It
would be taking uu unfair advantage
of Us hearers to launch himself into
the discussion of the free coinage
question or anything of a similarly
dry nature.
Then our Atlanta friends haw nev
er seen anything bigger than the Grant
Park Zoo, -and the Midway will be
something of an eye-opener. They'll
see a plenty and get plenty of fun for
all the money they spend and a whole
lot without charge.

original Coney iolaud concert.
Altogether this will be u great day
for strangers and citizens alike. There
ure races tor the ladles and gentlemen
who enjoy trials of speed, there Is
popular entertainment tor people of
every kind of taste and there Is $’om-
peli, the greatest of them all.
CRYING FOR M'KINLEY.
That’s tho Way the Tennessee People
Are Represented.
Cincinnati, "O., Oct. 28.—Refreshed by
a day’s cessation from speaking and
the attentions of reception committees.
Governor McKinley reached here from
Philadelphia, at 8 p. m. and ten minutes
later mas on bis way to Olney, where
he speaks tomorrow, the first one of
twelve speeches between that point
aud Chicago.
During a brief stop at Columbus this
afternoon for the purpose of visiting
Mrs. McKinley, the governor was Cwct
by a committee from Nashville, Tenn.,
headed" by Newall Sanders, chairman
,of the state central Republican com
mittee, and who made an earnest plea,
for a speech in that city next week.
Every day for a week tho governor
has been deluged with dispatches from
Democrats and Republicans In that
city urging him (jo cancel one day of
his Ohio dates, and speak In that city
before tho close of the campaign,
promising a special train ana-nil oth
er facilities from Chicago to Nashville
end back into Ohio.
One of 'the most pressing of these let
ters came from Judge A. B.CoHyar. a
oromlnent lawyer of Nashville. Who was
a tnember of the Confederate congress,
tend which read, in part: "I am a Demo
crat, but a believer In a protoceive tar
iff. With me. It la above all other con
siderations. To break the force of your
Intended speech was the purpose of
bringing Sneaker Crisp here, for It was
imperative that they turn back the
growing feeling for protection. It that
be possible. Everybody wants to hear
you. and your speech would be a crisis
in Tennessee affairs. For the great
cause. I hone you can come. Such an
ovation has not been given to anyjnan
since the war as would be given you."
Judge OoJlyar was a member of the
delegation today, and reinforced tho
pleadings of Chairman Sanders. Gov
ernor McKinley referred to the fact that
■the.riot at Washington court house had
necessitated the cancellation of the Lou
isville and Nashville dates, and that ho
was entirely In the hands of the Ohio
state central committee. The delega
tion 'then had a conference with Chair
man Dick, but the latter absolutely re
fused to cancel any of the Ohio dates
for the week commencing Tuesday, and
the delegation left for home.

Berlin, Oct. 28.—Tho columns of all
the newspapers teem with surmises as
to the final causa of Count von Caprtvi’s
fall. The most trustworthy explana
tion now at hand was published yes
terday by tho Hamburg.echo Corre
spondent, which Is known to havo got
ten Its Information from Dr. Ham-
maun of the foreign office. It Is this:
On Friday Count von Oaprlvl had au
audience with tho emperor to discuss
tho ministerial situation and the out
lines of tho proposed antl-Soclallst
measures. Ho referred to tho opposi
tion which ho had encountered in the
conference of federal envoys and asked
tho emperor to g.vo a binding pledge
that tho whole government support
uniformly the programme of the chan
cellory.
Tho emperor said ho could not prom
ise to carry out unchanged every de
tail of tho chancellor's proposals. Tho
situation was so complicated that it
was hnpossiblo to mark out an uual-
tcrablo lino of conduct. However, ho
h.mself continued to hope that the
chancellor would havo the desired sup
port and would remain at his pust.
Capriv. stood firm. ' Tilt! emperor de
clined to promise. Sorno temper was
displayed on both sides, though tbero
was no quarrel. Eventually Oaprlvl
stated the alternntlvo between tho
promise and Ids immeiliato resignation,
and tho emperor oceepted tho resigna
tion.
Tho Neuscto Nachrlchtc-n, which frag
bought by its present owner* to bo
used ngalust the “new course” and the
chancellor, persists that Caprlvi called
the south German, envoys to tUo con
ference and strove to win their In
dorsement without having first con
sulted tho emperor and that tills in
dependence precipitated li'.s fall.
Tho falsehood Is obvious. Tho Nach-
rlehton Is regarded as seeking merely
to attribute C'aprlri's fall to tho mis
step which ended Bismarck's career.
Tnero was no repetition of the Wlnd-
thorst Incident, which In 1890 tho em
peror Interpreted as an effort to In
trigue behind 'his back. It Is certain
that the emperor and Caprlvi parted
on friendly terms. They were seen on
Friday evening in the same carriage
returning from (lie Russian embassy,
where they had inquired after the
czar's health.
In .the chancellory the officials cling
to the hope that Caprlvl's retirement
Is not final, although when he bade
good-by to the chiefs of departments
yesterday he did not allude to any
prospect ot returning to office. He
seemed cheerful, even relieved, and,
aside from some bitterness, was un
doubtedly glad to relinquish his ’Un
congenial task.
, -CHANGES TO COME.
The change* Incident to Caprlvl’s
departure aro expected to Include the
resignation of Freiherr Marschal voi.
Bfebersteln, the foreign secretary,
whom the Conservatives accuse of In
triguing against Mlquel. Eulenburg
and everybody else except his personal
friends. One report which holds fast
among tho Conservatives ta that he
will be succeeded by Count Philip Zu
Eulenburg. the poet, story teller and
German ambassador to Vienna. Thp
emperor Is credited, however, with an
aversion to_any changes that can be
averted, as he wishes to emphasize the
principle that he ta the supreme force
In the government and tho all-sufficient
statesman. . ... .
This he expects to accomplish by
acting as if all dismissals resulted
from party opposition to the personal
ity of this or that adviser of the crown.
If Freiherr Marschall von Belbersteln
should go It would be £ue to untago-
ntsm felt toward him by Mlquel, tho
Eulenburg clan and tho Agrarians,
whom ho handled so roughly in the
debates on tho 'Russian reciprocity

ty. The gravest complaints
"for under Prince Bismarck the union
of the offices gave rise to much dlffloul-
the stagnation of Prussian ,lcgl»l»tl<m.
Improvement is possible only thrototh
the creation of inrteptndent ministers
the creation of independent mlnlctors
who can relievo the chancellor of his
universal reaponatblHty.
■'Oiprivl's departure has certainly
cleared a groat obstacle from the way
of agrarian aspirations, but the <ta n jLr
of a tariff war with America over the
sugar tax has come much nearer, as
to the parliamentary Programme. As
removal of Caorlvl has bettered in no
respect, the prospect of the new tax
bills The radicals cannot hall the ad
vent of Prince H'ohenlohe. doubting, as
they do. his tact and ability to direct
the relchstag. In the relchstag of 1871-
73 he was merely an ornament.
BISMARCKIAN SENTIMENT
Tho Hamburger Nachrichten, which
speaks for Bismarck, has a moderate
article without a trace of triumph over
Caprlvi. “It ta a mistake to suppose,
says the writer, “that his fall -was due
to bis,attitude to repressive laws. Hto
fall W2B owing solely to his Incapacity
to deal with the entire situation. Solid
administrative notion with only radicals.
Poles wA socialists behind him has be
come Impossible."
The old tory Kreuz Zcltung reioiers
in the crisis. “We desire to recoil." It
says, "how much the semi-official press
sought to Identify the emperor's poHcy
with' Caprtvi’s. The dismissal of Ci-
Privt shows the «pP<ror was convinced
that the Chancellor's regime caused dis
content in' the mohl Influential circles
and dlalnast among the most loyal class
es of the population. Whatever changes
may now Impend, the conservatives will
not niter their programme, but will
curry it forward In the battle for relig
ion. society, morality and order.”
The Magdeburg Zcltung says: "One
thing ta certain, the time for passive
waiting Is over. During the hist few
year* the people tor* often felt the
need ot a firm hand to guide the gov
ernment when, at important junctures,
the growing quarrels could be jllcpced
only by a stern command from above,

j THE SOCIALIST VIEW.
The nows ot Caprlvl’s fall reached
a- Social Democratic congress In
Frankfurt just before tho closo of Fri
day’s session. TUo crisis was felt to
be a grave one. full of danger to the
party. The general opinion was that. It
meant the signal triumph of tho ro.V-
non.
"No change can affect lie Social
ntmocrScy." tho chief deputy said at
■tb« close of the session, "l'ha party
has outlived Bismarck and CMnrlvi urn*
w-llj survive -,h e future ohanccllora, 1*
matters nc-t how reactionary they may
be. Socialism 1* the vltjl principle of
progress, its adherents are animated
with a spirit to overcome all perse
cutions, and they "have spread tbtlr
teachings despite all oppositet."
Thefccongress closed with an'appeal-
nmeo of harmony which v.Ma absent «t
the opening. There was nuea latent
discontent, however, and tho Bava
rians or Berlin committeemen aro sure
to fight their differences out unless ne-v
exceptional laws force them back into
a solid, phalanx.
The Voerwaerts Zl-tung appeals to
the entire party to bury all minor dif
ferences and prepare fdr tho combat
which "the Ro-cnlled parties nfi law-
ami order have begun against the So-
ctwl Democracy."
a .paragraph on tho significance
of Caprivt’a fall the toe eidtor adds:
“The most notable fact Is th:M he Was
not dismissed because ho had lost -the
confidence of the nation, nor (because
a vote of the relchstag had made film
impossible as chancellor, hut merely
beesufo a monarch, regarding Cilmsclf

reported thntFrlncb Hohenloho Was not

CAPRIVI MOVES OUT.
Berlin, Oct. 28.—Count won Caprlvi
was removed yesterday from tho ntno
rooms -which ho occupied in tho chan
cellory and was sent to -his villa at
Sklcron, near Crossen, where ho will
five in retirement. Ills married sister,
to whom he Is much attached, occupies
a house In tho same neighborhood.
Caprlvl’B friends say that when lie
called to bid them good-bye ho looked
five years younger than ho did a week
ago. He Is to better spirits than for
months, and said he felt as If a moun
tain had been rolled from off bis back.
Ills recent surroundings, he told ono
friend, had been little to his liking.
The press campaigns for film and
against him had been especially disa
greeable. although he had been In
formed that they had to be. He re
gretted keenly that he must leave the
beautiful garden at the chancellory,
On Friday, despite the Wavy rain, he
went through the garden to visit all
the shrubs and trees which ho had
planted and (trained. II* parted most
reluctantly from MaJ-.von Ebmeyer,
his aide-de-camp, who regards him as
toe moot admirable man on earth. Eb-
meyer was so affected tbat ho could
not speak articulately. Ills resigna
tion. too. had been accepted by tho em
peror, and ho will Join his regiment
Immediately.
In summoning tho federal envoys to
another conference tlie emperor said
that Caprlvl's policy would be con
tinued. The statement is ftaken with
a^vraln of salt, as tho emperor mads
a similar Hta".cm»nt Immediately after
Bismarck’s fall. The envoys expressed
th»!r BittaCsctton wl<h the e-hoe* of
prince Hohenlohe. Tho south Ger

Tho truth of this namvttvo 1s to bo
proven, however.
Among many of Caprlvl's supporters,
the opinion la -that ho realised long «gr>
that his mwlllon was undetermined and
ho welcomed the occasion to abandon
tho office which his opponents had made
h. burden. The emperor Is said to In
tend Eulenburg tor the governorship of
Relch-tsund. but Prince Hohenloho op
poses his choice.
HARD LINES FOR GIBSON.
Maryland Democrats Give Him tho
Cold Shoulder.
Easton, Md., Oct. 23.—8cnator Gib
son did not preside over tho Demo
cratic mass mooting in Music Hall yes
terday. As United States senator ho
would naturally be cuusldurod tho big
gest mau ,u his party at U'.a own home.
Hut he was not c.-eu given a seat ou
the platform Ip f.-out of tho people
whom ho was sent to. Washington to
represent.
The central comm-ltteo was plainly
told several days ago by a member of
tho anti-Glbsou Democrats that It he
should be made chairman of tlie meet
ing that ut. least 100 orotuluout Dem
ocrat* would leave the hall In a body.
Their animosity towards the senator Is
based on b.« course in tlie senato re
garding the tariff bill. Several other
candidates wore named for chairman
by Gibson’s friends, but they worn all
objected to by .tlio “anils." Finally
tho central committee decided to run
the meeting officially, and so Charles
R. Woofers, chairman of tho commit
tee, was inado dm.i-nuu or tho meet-
j lug. More than one-half of tho vlce-
! president* selected are pronounced
| anti-Gibson men,
] Not satisfied with capturing tho or-
1 ganlzntlou of tho mooting, tho antis
proceeded to nmko it more unpleasant
for the senator. Two questions were
submitted In writing to tho two con
gressional candidates (short and long

The fiends who planned the explo

fact that pact ot the plan failed. They
placed about twenty-four slicks of dy
namite undue tho building, each bring
about nine Inches long and. weighing
about half u pound. A who connected
the sticks with a. battery situated
about fifty yards away. When tho,sig
nal waa given only about, halt a dozen
of -tflio Stlrkn exploded. They were'suffi
cient. however, to completely avrcch
the building, not » beam or a plonk of

Th® boarding bouse bos« lasts loss
a* to what pibvoked tho deed. As far art
bo knows, he has no enemlei* In the
world. Bomn or tfieTtoarden* think that
robbery was tho motive, ns nevoral of
them were known to have considerable
money In their posseaslon. If this was
itlio object ot -tho licneta. It was plnln
why they placed so much of the explo

covery. <t“ dynamite af that character

battery taken out. An old battery was
found near by. The supposition I* that
