A Washington speoial says: Admi¬ ral Dewey has accepted the invitation of the citizens of Atlanta, Ga., to par¬ ticipate in the oeremonies attending the presentation of the sword to Flag Lieutenant Brumby. The invitation was formally tender¬ ed to the hero of Manila Saturday by a delegation of prominent citizens, and a prompt and gracious acceptance was immediately announced. Accompanied by Representative Lon Livingston, tho delegation called upon Admiral Dewey, at the McLean resi¬ dence. The interview had been pre¬ viously arranged through Lieutenant Brumby, hence the Georgians received an extremely cordial greeting from the admiral. The reception took place in the parlor, which was beautifully dec¬ orated with flowers, potted plants and the national colors. These little formalities having been completed, Mayor Woodward who was one of the committee, stepped to the front and in the name of the citizens of Atlanta, indeed in the name of all the people in the state of Georgia, in¬ vited the admiral to visit Atlanta and witness the presentation of a sword to Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood¬ ward went on to say ho v proud tho people of Georgia are to claim Lieu¬ tenant Brumby as their own, aud he informed the Admiral that a hand¬ some sword had been procured by popular subscription to he presented to Lieutenaut Brumby. The admiral at that point inter¬ rupted the mayor to say that he had seen it stated that the people of Geor¬ gia intended to give Lieuteuat Brum¬ by a sword, aud he desired to say that gallant young offioer was worthy of any honor or distinction his friends or his country might see fit to bestow him. This high testimonial to Lieutenant Brumby was made with so much sin¬ cerity t hat it deeply impressed the mem¬ bers of the delegation, and their ad¬ miration of the admiral was increased accordingly. The admiral took occa¬ sion to say that ho not only appreciated the valuable services rendered by Lieutenant Brumby, but he also ap¬ preciated the noble and patriotic part played by the representatives of the southern Btates, in the army and navy during the war with Spain. He said he knew how bravely the southern men rushed to the support of the nation’s honor and shared the glo¬ ries of victory with their northern brethren and thus wiped out all traces of sectionalism. The admiral’s atten¬ tion was called to the fact that Geor¬ gia sent more men into the United States service to battle against Spain than any other stato in the union. The admiral replied that the infor¬ mation was intensely gratifying to him and it made him all the more anxious to visit Georgia aud personally show his appreciation of the valor and patriotism o/ the southern people. Turning to Lieutenaut Brumby, the admiral said: “Brumby, we have but two engagements ahoad—one in Chi¬ cago and one in Philadelphia." Brumby replied.in the affirmative, whereupon the admiral delighted his visitors by saying: “Well, gentlemen, yon may count on me being present to see Brumby get bis sword." He said he could not state definitely when it would be convenient for him to visit Atlauta, owiug to an engage ment be has with the president and the members of tho Philippine com¬ mission, soon after the president re¬ turns from his western tour. His acceptance, with that qualifica¬ tion, was entirely satisfactory to the delegation, and the details of the visit wore farther dismissed. The admiral evinced such a warm personal * ... regard for Lieutenant Brum¬ by throughout the interview that a change was made in the priginal pro CARGO OF MULES LOST.

On the steps of the capito! at Wash ington, it was deemed a high honor for Admiral Dewey to receive the na sword from the president of th* United States. At Atlanta it will be equal honor for Lieutenaut Brumby receive Georgia's sword from the of the nation’s hero, Admiral The suggestion was promptly upon, aud the programme will arranged on that basis. Admiral Dewey stated that his de to show his personal appreciation friendship for Lieutenant Brumby a sufficient inducement to him to Atlanta on the occasion of the presentation, but added to that, his desire to recognize in his humble the glorious part the men of tho have played in the war with He then referred with deep feeling the recent deaths of Naval Cadet of Georgia, and Lieutenant Eldridge, of Alabama,two young officers of the navy, lost their lives at Manila. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF Be Discontinued In Compli¬ ance With Orders Received From Washington. An Atlanta dispatch says: The commander of the department the gulf, Colonel John Simpson, Saturday from Washington the official order of the war department the department of the gulf and transferring the headquarters to Governor’s Island. From the nature of the order it is regarded as evident by the officers of the department that the mind of the president has been made up, and that the efforts of Atlanta business men will bring no satisfactory result. The order states that the change is made by direction of the president, and is signed toy the secretary ol war, the commanding general and the adjutan' general of the army. Colonel Simpson stated that he wat in no way acquainted with the purpose of the war department in discontinuing the department of the gulf, but sup¬ posed that Atlanta had been made the headquarters on the outbreak of tht war on account of its central location and its thorough eonneotion with the southern seacoast towns. With the war at an end there was nothing to accomplish by the continuance of the department. JONES IS OPTIMISTIC. Democratic Chairman Says Bryan Will R Nomianted and Elected.

They have bees traveling in England, Ireland, Scof land, Switzerland and Wales for sev¬ eral months.

Delay of Hostilities In Transvaal Bode, Much Good. All the reliable intelligence fro* South Africa reaching London Friday points to a continuance of the existing situation for soma time, as both sides are apparently diffident about com¬ mencing an attack, although from the dispaches received it seems as if every movement of a patrol and every cloud of dust made by a herd of oattle were turned into a general advance by both armies. The delay is all to the good, inas¬ much a3 it gives time for furthuv ne¬ gotiations. PRESIDENTS ADDRESS On Handing Dewey the Congress¬ ional Sword of Honor—The Admiral's Reply.

THE SITUATION GROWS INTERESTING Other Koadu 8ay They Cannot Act Until the Western and Atlantic Tnkes the Initiative. The railroads entering Atlanta, Ga., have abandoned the idea, if they ever seriously entertained it, of voluntarily giving the Gate City a new passenger station. They have failed to file plans, and now they are up against the commis¬ sion. The board will meet again in a few kays and see what it can do with them for disobeying its order. At Thursday’s meeting the lessee of the state’s road declared that it is ab¬ solutely impossible to get the roads, the city and state to agree. Major Thomas, representing the lessee, sug gnested that the state should patch up the old shed, which four of the roads claim to own. If the state does not do that, he pro¬ posed that his company would stand part of the expense of patching. This would mean the continuance of the dangerous street crossings at grade, a menace to life which the city has considered far more objectionable than the inadequate old shed. All the roads say that Major Thom¬ as holds the key to the situation. He says there is no hope of getting a new union station. In the face of this announcement, tho Southern railway takes an opti¬ mistic view of the situation. That company says it does not think the question of locating a union station on the old site has been exhausted, aud asks for more time. Several times iu the past, the Southern representa¬ tives have expressed doubt about the advisability of using the old site for a new station bccauss it is so narrow. None of the other roads suggested anything that would tend to solve the problem. Fines Slay Be Imposed. So now the commission is looking into methods of procedure. The roads have not filed plans, and the next question is to fine them. The law fixes as the penalty a fine not ex¬ ceeding $5,000. The fine, if im¬ posed would‘go to the state. Six roads enter Atlanta. If the max¬ imum fine were imposed and colleoted it would amount to $30,000. The commission can cite the roads every thirty days, and in the course of two years might colleot enough in fines to build a magnificent station. At Thursday’s meeting the board asked Judge Atkinson, the legal mem¬ ber, for his opinion on the way to pro¬ ceed against the roads. Judge Atkin¬ son assured his confreres he would have his opinion ready when the board meets again. President Thomas has been advised to confer with the railroad commission and the legislature’s special commis¬ sion. One idea in getting the presi¬ dent of the lessee company and the legislative committee together is to see if any agreement can be reached on which the legislature can act looking to the state building a union passenger station and renting to the roads. GEORGIA PENSION FIGURES. State Paid Out Sum of $652,820 the Past Year. The annual report of commissioner of pensions for Georgia, Richard John¬ son, has just been issued from the press.
