less Cantrnl CI'V Park—The
Day's Pleaaurea, Etc.
There were ten thousand happy people
In Macon yeaterday, acd eight thousand
of them by actual count rf tickets spent
the day pleasantly in Central City Park.
It was a day of ino denta without an acci

amusement and athletic sports, nothing

lIVss the Library's own day, snatched as («)“!*«!" _8lms, a. .''Frida,
it were from the fast-decaying customs end
eventless days. The Library nursed it Into
life, and tlnugh only a year old, now gives
abundant promise for living many coming
years to give the people a respite from
*ork and care.
Next year the library will again fill
the day with amusements. In fact,
they will make it even more pleasurable
than yesterday for plans are being formed
this early for features that cannot fail to
invest it with a State importance.
Macon has never yet failed to do her
part when called upon to entertain the
stranger within her gate*. She possesses
facilities enjoyed by no other city in
the South save Baltimore, whose Druid
Hill Park is superior only in cultivation to
oar own beautiful Central City Park, }o
find shade and shelter for so large a crowd.
And wbat Macon attempts she does.
Every feature advertised for yesterday
came oil according to the programme as
ten thousand people will testify.
The celebration yesterday of the first
Democratic Fourth in twenty.yeara was
marked by a brilliancy that has no t been
equalled. No occasion or such magnitude
has ever been conducted so successfully,
%r bas transpired in everyway so pleas
antly. Every feature of the long pro
gramme yesterday was executed in the
most perfect manner, and furnished unin
terrupted entertainment. No two were
alike, and yet all were enjoyed. From the
Inception of the programme to its close
the immense crowd was kept on the go ail
the while, and the attention constantly
and pleasantly attractive. No one dis
covered a single fault, or found room for a
•Ingle jnst complaint.
IT WA8 A GRAND HOLIDAY,
Aside from the brill! incy ol the enter
tainment that must ever remain as one of
Its moat distinct features, the day proved
a grand holiday—jnst each a holiday as
the people have been craving for some
time. They were jnst in the hnmor to
enjoy it, and they did enjoy it. They
threw aside the vexations of life for a day
and came together from all parts of the
State. They liked the meeting, and in
dulged themselves in the social features of
the cay to the fn'lest extent. They felt
better for It, and among tbo pleasantest
memories that will linger in their minds of
Macon's great yesterday, will be that of
the many happy moments rpent with go
niat friends and companions.
Ten thousand people were In the city,
and went to the park to enj ly the great
day. A peculiar fact noticeable was, that
of the almost infinite rca of human faces
on the grounds the number of familiar
ones was comparatively small, showing
that the largest portion of the crowd wa«
composed of visitors. It may beeaid that
the State joined the Central City In signal
izing the national d%y. From all sections
the people poured in until ths hotels were
filled to ovtrflowing.
THEOBIAT CROWDS.
Yesterday morning at an early hour the
crowd begin to increme. The incoming
trains brought them in from everywhere
and emptied them on the streets. By 9
o’clock the sidewalks were lined from end
to end with curious visitors. It was a
great, good humored crowd, infinitely
composed. Nearly everbody bad heard of
the big time that had been prepared for
those who wcu!d come, and representa
tives of nhnost every class were present
The rural di trlcts sent In large delega
tions, everybody coming bringing with
them a friend, a relative, or some other
person to et joy the sights with them.
The programme announced that the ex
ercises would begin at the path at 9 o’clock
and at that hour the people b/gan to wend
their way in to at direction. Ii was cari
ous to watch how they got there. 8ome
went in hnck', some in carriages, some cm
the street cars, while most of them walked,

When f .o hour arrived the beautiful park
was dotted with groups In every direction,
By 10 o’clock the number had swelled no
til the large area was covered. There was
a slight delay, owing to uravoldeble cir
cumstance*, iu b*gi ;nlrg the programme,

themselves variously, the moat of them

The race was a three-mile stretch. Each
man was allowed a “•tarter." Polblll,
Horton and Vay lor, ths three Macon fe-
vorites, were the entries, and they pre
sented a veiy pretty s’aht when they ap
peared at the “scratch” in their showy

CR0WXI50 Till QUEEN OF LOVE AND BEAUTY.
The most pleasant exercise of the day’s
programme was the crowmnf ot th* atmo
of love and beauty, and the maids of
honor by the successfal kn'ghts in the
tournament contest. It was the social
feature of the programme and was most
pleasant and lnterceting in all respects.
At 5:30 o’clock all repaired to the Dining
Jail, where the prizes were delivered and
the crowning took place. The interest
manifested was genuine, ths ladies espe
cially remaining attentive throughout the
E retty exercises. The daneipg that had
een going on uninterruptedly since din
ner ceased af a given signal and silence
prevailed. The successful knight, Mr.
Frank Stewart, was then called forward
and the handsome watch, t ffered by Wil
liams & Stevens rs a prize, was presented
to him by Mr. H. G. Hanson, of the Tele
graph and Mes*exger,. In presenting
ths trophy, Mr. Hanson said:
Ladiei and Gentlemen: I own myself a
believer In Andrew Jackson’s doctrine, “To
the victors belong the spoils.” I am prepared
to go even further than ‘Old Hickory 1 'and
say: To the victors belong not only the tan
gible spoils, but honors also. It Is proper
that some suitable trophy and honor
be bestowed upon the gaiant young
gentleman, Mr. Frank Stewart, who was de
clared the victor In the beautltuland closely-
contested tournament which we witnessed
with so much interest and excitement this
morning. It affords mo pleasure to present to
him as a suitable trophy of this victory this
magnificent watch, and to award to him. as thn
choicest honor we can bestow, the privilege of
crowning tbs Queen of Love and Beauty.
Mr. Stewart responded in a neat and
appropriate manner accepting the prize,
and exercising the privilege confer ted
upon him by crowning Miss Mamie Pea
body, of Columbus, the Queen of Love and
Beauty. Miss Lillian Dunlap was then
crowned Maid of Honor by Mr. L. 0.
Stevens, who also won distinction in the

Philadelphia, July 4 —Fifteen thousand
persons spent the day in viewing the ex
hibition drill and parade at tbe national
military encampment in Fairmount Park.
The attenkance surpassed that of any day
since the beginning of the encampment.
Exercises comprised tbe firing of a national
solute of 21 guns at noon by Col. Ran

Gattllng gun exhibition drill by a battery
of New York and dying artillery drill by
Col. Warner’s Fifth United States
Battery. A general order has
bxn issued by Colonel Hetrick
to have a brigade review at 2 o’clock, un
der direction of Major-General Bbaler. but
owing to the absence of nearly half tho
soldiers, who were off on leave visiting
various points of Interest iu tho

the Indianapolis Light Infantry. At G
o’clock the First and Second Regiments of
Ohio were reviewed bv Lieutenant
Colonel Hawkins, of the First, and all
unattached companies were formed into a
battalion and reviewed by Col. Grump, of
the Kentucky State Guards. The latter
was composed of six companies, and a fine
eight they pretented with their varied
uniforms. 8hortly after the two reg-
Imants had been drawn up in line a
panel of the board fence around tbe
grand stand was broken dow by rorae boys
and a panic almost ensued among tne
spectators on the grand stand. The peo
ple thonght tbe stand was giving away,
and a stampede ensued to reach
the ground. Tne guards on duty
oommanded tbe crowd to remain seated,
and the people obeyed the order. Had it
not been for the prompt action of tbe sol
diers a fearful loss of life might
have ensued. It was expecDd
that General Manager Underwood would

It was of the most excellent charaoter,
and there was not a visitor to the park
who did not go into ecstasies over it, and
lavish praise upon it. The gallant boys
of the band deseived every bit that was
bestowed opon them. As we have had oc

The banka of the Ocmnlgte were never
lined with a larger or more enthusiastic
numbar of spectators than those that
■aiberad at 2 o'elcck to witness the first
feature of the afternoon’s programme.
Nearly every person in tbe park was In
terested in tbe swimming match, many
nrver having area one before,- and tbe

river wae premier in itself. The
banks between the beginning and ending
of tbe conrse was packed until all vlaw of
the river was was -hat off. The tree* and
branches that bane over the edges of tbe

some to sea tbe start and the dote.
This leatnre wes nr-iler the menage-

\\ asiiinoton, July 2.—The South Amer
ican Commission, under date of Santiago
May 11th, have made their report tothe
Secretary of Btate on the result of their
visit to Chili. The oommlfmon reached
Valparaiso May 5!h. The report ssys:
“Valparaiso is almost an English col
ony. The English language is need almost
exclusively in trade and the leediDg mer
chants are subject of Great Britain, there
being but three distinctlyely American
homes in the place. The amount of goods
porte-i from the 1 'ui’e 1 S'at**'* in very
mil, beyond what nre brought by those
firms, the great ohstae'es to an
extension of this trade being
deposition of K'..’ .hiiii'ii

on account of the high freights between
Nf.v York and Valparaiso, which ;nn
ally doable tbe cost of transportation be
tween Valparaiso and London, Havre or
Hamburg No goods are imported from
the United States except when they cannot
be obtained elsewhere, and then it is found
nine! cheaper to ship them -o « hi'i from
New York via Hamburg or Liverpool.”
The report describes the meeting of the
President of Chili by the commission, and
save a series of propositions were sub
mitted to him. It cont'nues: The first
was a suggestion that the old treaty of
amity, commerce and navigation between
the United Btates and Chill which long since
whs terminate I : w ht r* *.-«.*.! w:*h ad
vantage to both countries. In reply to
this the President said that be did not see
any advantage to Chili in such a treaty,
and was not disposed to enter into any
farther conventions with foreign countries.
While be person* iiv mid t n •• ^ ; ■ ./i -
Chill in general ‘abounded’ in the most
cordial feelings toward thn govern
ment of the United 8tates and Its n»op!e.
and endeavored to imitate the United
States as closely as possible, he conld not
see any necessity for a treaty, and thought
tbe two nations coold get along just as
well without one.
Tbe second proposition Involved the
idea of a reciprocal commercial treaty be
tween the two countries, tinder which tbe
special products of each should be admit
ted free of duty Into tbe other when car
ried under the flag of either ac
tion. This did not meet with any
graater favor with President Santa Marta,
who was not disposed to make receprocity
treaties. His people were at liberty to sell
where they conld get the best prices and
buv their goods where cheapest. In his
opinion commerce was not aided by com
mercial treaties, and Chili neither asked
from nor g«tv»» to othf-r nations s tccial
favors Trade would regulate Itself, and
there was no advantage in trying to divert
it ill nnp ilir-rtirm or (he other. S ) far ns
the United Btates was concerned, there
could be very little trade with Chill, owing
to the fact that the products of tne two
countries were almost identical. Chili
produced very little that we want
ed, and although there wero
many industrial products of the Uni*ed
S*ates that were tued in Chili, the mer
chants of the latter country must bo al
lowed to buy where they sold, and where
they conld trade to the greatest advantage.
With reference to tho provision that re-
(luro t ttut’fH slioiiM b** allowed oi.Iy upon
goods carried in Chilian or American ves
sels, he said that Chili did not want any
suen means to encourage her commerce.
Her ports were open to all tbe vessels of
the world upon an equa'ity, and none
\i have e«p»ml privileges.
It was suggested that Hit.* might i><* ft
large commerco between the two conntriei
if the low grade guano, which is adapted
A_ ‘ht cultivation cf cotton in
8onthern Btates and is not
sought for In Earope, could
be exchanged for manufactured products
'■f the rm>dS*ates. Th** Pr*«i t*-nt ver\
frankly and somewhat bluntly responded
t!in’ the government of Chili owned nil the
guano, and had given a monopoly of Its ex*
! ortat'on to a company, of which the peo
ple of the United Btates could purchase as
much as they liked.
Tbe next topic seemed to be received
with decided favor, and not only toe Presi
dent hut the three niin’slern present also
joined In expresslrg their acquiescence. It
was touching the establishmeLt of a com
mon si!vrr coin of the value of the United
S’ftteM j- ,;d do'lar, to be co'ned by e«< h of
tbo American republics of an equal degree
of fineness, and to an amount
which should be agreed upon,
to be legal tender in nil commercial
transactions between citizens of this hero
ispbers. This proposition, which has al
ready been nsaented to by Mexico, Vene
znela, Guatemala,Costa llira.Equtdor and
Pern, was accepted by President Santa
Maria ns n long »tep toward the nioneti/a-
tion of silver, and if adopted by the Amer
ican repnbltcs nd<ht, in bis opinion, com-
pel the I,Mm r.-iion to accept th* diubk
standard and Increase the value of one of
tbe chief prod* cts of Chill. His govern
ment, he said, wss ready to enter into a
convention with the United 8tates and the
other American republics at any time to
' 'irt* sui'li s .!♦•-:r r***».ilt.
The fourth proposition, which In
vited the views of the government of
Chill as to the prncticabl Ity of
holding a congress of delegates from nil
American republics to adopt measures to
secure reace and promote prosperity

San Francisco, July 2 —A special to the
Bulletin from Tombstone. Arizona, says:
Penn Howland arrived ]««t night
from tbe San Bernardino ranch. lie gives
ti)*- following account of the fight previ
ously reported between ihewhi cs and In-
is atAputo: Captain Crawford, with
main body of troop* and scouts, went
directly toward the Torres Mountains,
while Lieutenant Davis’s command passed
around to the eastof the mountains, Hank
ing the Indians and surprising them while
in camp. Tne camp consisted of reven-
teen bucks and fourteen w mien and
children. In the attack two cf the
bucks were killed and one whs
wounded. The women and children and
the wounded back were made prisoners,
but the rest of the Indians escaped Into
the nouotsir s, and it was found impossi
ble to overtake them. Lieutenant Davis
sent Lieutenant Hanna with a detail cf six
men. in charge of the prisoners nnd three
mutinous Indian scouts, to the S>in Ber
nardino ranch. At the same time he cent
a courier to Fort B >wio, asking General
Crook for reinforcements to meet t lenten-
ant Hanna at the 8an Bernardino ranch
and relieve him. When Howland Uft the
8an Bernardino ranch yesterday, Lieu’en-
ant Hanna had not arrived there,
although he had been on
ay jlx day*. Llent McGrew.whohad
been dispatched to relieve Lieut Hanna,
arrived at the ranch on Monday, and
•ocuts have been sent out for Lieut.
Ilanna. The belief exists that thefonr*
trei bucks who made their escape after
tbe Aputo i*ght, seeing that the prisoners
left the main command guarded only by
six men, have followed and ambuscaded
the party and massacred them and res
cued the prisoners.

his collect on of war relics the original or
dinance adopted by the Confederate con
vention in Louisiana, which e vidently ac
counts for part of thefneds reported unac

Yesterday’s dispatches said that the
record of the mint, which closed
January 31, 1801, iliows that
|1,8’4,21G&0 had been coined, ell of which
probably went into the enemy’s hands.
Louisiana seceded January 10, and trans
ferred all Federal offices to tne Confeder
acy on March 4. Tne document referred
to is "An ordinance to transfer certain

ate Stales of America. In the first section
it Is ordered that $ IO.G27.4G now in the
hands of A. J. Guizot, Btate depositary,

The ordinance was adopted In New Orleans

met with disfavor. His Excellency coulti
not aee the advantage of inch a gathering.
Chill had learned by experience that noth
ing could he gained, and that the geners*
welfare was not promoted, by interi. ational
conventions, lie could not think of any
memur** ncottgrei-of thi* port wnuM agree
opon, and while bis government was anx
ious to avoid war and secure a peace
ful solution of international disputes,
the proposition did not find
any favor in bis eyes. If
the United Btates desired to call such a
congress, CblU would consider the invita
tion, but reserved the right to decline, in
case the government so desired.
The fifth and last proposition was a gen
eral one, and invited tupgeiilons of Chill
as to the best modes ot increasing trade
between that country and the Uci’ed
Btates. Tbe President repeated what be
bad said previously about the impossibility
of attiring a large trade, but thought H
there could be direct communication by
steam from tbe parts oi one country to
thoie of another, comment* wou'd b*-
greatly aUed. If any ateamihlp company
in the United States believed the baimei'
would pay, the Congress of Cbiti would
give it a auhv.dy such as waa ilven to the
Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany of Liverpool. That line
receives an annual subsidy of 150,000 of
silver, and a Cailian company which em-
ployed vessels along the coast between
Valparsiso and Callao waa given $150,000 a
year, under condition that its vessels were
always subject to charter by the gov
ernment and might be used as transports
and crohers In time of war. Similar aii
would be offered to any company desirous
of trading along tbe coast of Chili, as it
was the policy of the republic to encour
age commerce and stimulate competition.
