Wednesday, Nov. 8. —The senators met one hour earlier than usual Wed¬ nesday morning to listen to the ad¬ dress of the Rev. John Jones, the chaplain of that body. The venerable preacher, from time immemorial, has opened the proceedings of the Geor¬ gia upper house. It was a unique eceaoe for a legislative body. The aged, silver-haired chaplain, with square collar and white stock tie, talked for something over an hour. He stood near the alert, youthful president of the senate, who through¬ out his talk regfrded the chaplain with affection and interest. Mr. Jones' talk was reminiscent in its nature. ,He dwelt on the religious \ side of the life of many of Georgia s departed statesmen. By a rising vole the senate- thanked Mr. .Tones for his address. The senate passed the fob lowing bills; To repeal section 1329, of the code of Georgia; A,bill giving the governor authority to designate certain banks iu certain cities as state., depositories ; To amend section S21L of the code; To regulate costs in dis Itossessorv warrants; To authorize the proper athorities of the town of Washington, Georgia, to issue, and sell-bonds not exceeding $18,000.

Ctitry,of Virginia,for hisrecent address .to the house arid senate iu joint sea sion. ME Wilson, of the 11th seua torial district, introduced it rcso lution which was adopted. It was in regard to the- -repeal of the 10 per cent fax on state . banks, The resolution is as follows; Whereas, We believe that upon matters so vital ly-affecting the people as the mode and manner of.issuing currency, local ne cessities require local government and .regulations and a recognition of the priu .ciple and practice vetliat of home. large rule. And, whereas, we belie a part of'the financial distress under which we labor iu due to capacity of central control and manipulationsbf currency, flud that the remedy 'for this consists in decentralizing the currency so far as possible, and thut this can only be accomplished by a safe, sound and we )i regulated currency. And, whereas, the national democratic platform declares in favor of the re peal of the ten per cent taxation on issues of state banks; therefore, be it j Resolved, By the senate, the house concurring, that we request congress— i soon to assemble—to repeal the ten per cent tax on stato banks’issue as soon as the same can be properly done, Resolved, second, That a copy of these resolutions, when signed by the gov ernor; shall be made out and sent to the speaker of the house of represent atives, with the request that the same be laid before congress. Thtjbsday, Nov. 9—The cold murky atmosphere Thursday . and the drizzling rain . morning, while it did not ! prevent house, a quorum in the Georgia up per soon made the senators weary in their work and at 11:05' j o’clock the body adjourned until'Fri day.

GEORGIA ROAD CONGRESS. Call Issued for a Meeting In Augusta, November 281 h. The Georgia road congress lias been called to meet in Augusta oil tho 28th instant, the Augusta Exposition hav¬ ing set apart that day as “Road Con¬ gress Day.” The vice-presidents of the body are: Hon. H. B. Smart, of Savannah ; Hon. O. A. Barry, Coleman; Colonel G. W. Jordan, Jr., Hawkinsville; Hon. W,. 'J. 'Weeks, Talbotton; Dr. J. W. Nelms, Atlanta; Hon. W. A. Huff, Macon-; Col. J. O. Waddell, Atlanta; Prof. C. M. Btrnhan, Athens'; Hon. J. W. Robertson, Cornelia; Colonel O.' IT. Beall, SandersVille; Colonel A. T.- Putnam, Brunswick. The time for the meeting is auspi¬ cious, as the unprecented low rates on the railroads will enable every county to be represented. Tho basis of rep¬ resentation is doub e the number of representatives in the lower branch of the general assembly. The Georgia state fair adopted the suggestion of the secretary of the Georgia road congress and instituted a department of roads, and now the management of other fairs are imitat¬ ing them. It will be seen that Geor¬ gia leads the van in favor of a perma¬ nent system of improved roads con¬ structed under the direction of the most skilled engineers, and by the use of convict labor and improved road working machinery. Every county in Georgia should he represented by her ablest men in the congress that meets in Augusta on the 28th. Uprising in Cuba, The news brought by the steamer from Havana Thursday night has cheer¬ ed the hearts of the Cuban revolntion istss at Key West, Fla,, who -deolare that their cause lias received a fresh impetus. The present movement in Cuba is evidently an outgrowth of the plans hatched by the leaders at Key West, who have been, ever since the last fiasco, endeavoring to incite an¬ other insurrection. AT THE RATIONAL CAPITAL. Affairs of Goyerneiit ai Nows of ti the Dspartments Discussed. Notes of Interest Concerninsr the Peo¬ ple and Their General Welfare. President ‘ Cleveland has extended the lease of hisconntry home at Wood ley to the spring of 1897. There was a report in Washington Monday night that there was a and big that row •in tbe cabinet on last. Friday, Hoke Smith and Secretary Morton re¬ signed. Those nearest the administra¬ tion think it is a mistake. There is much complaint among ex-‘ hibitors over the delay in awarding the world’s fair medals to the success-" ful competitors. ’Congressmen have received numerous letters on the‘sub¬ ject, but inquiry at. the treasury de¬ partment does not reveal any inden¬ tions that the-medals will be ready for . distr i liuti on- f or. several in onthS: It can be stated on the highest au¬ thority that tliere is ho foundation whatever for the published story that the embussadpl'-ai;.'Washington, English . gey wument, throngh its has urged the United States to exert its mediat¬ ing iiilltferice between the conflicting elements ificBritzil in order to bring to a speedy .close , tho internal ■ strife which is now in progress there. The memory of the. late Justice Blatohford was honored at the session of the United States supreme court Monday., 4 j;et .of resolutions, read by Attorney General Gluey was of¬ fered by ihe bar of tho court anil adopted. When the resolutions had been adopted,. Attorney General-Olney made an address in which he spoke of Justice Blncliford's abilities as a man and a-.judge. The claim of J. Catlett Gibson, for¬ merly United States attorney for tho eastern district of Virginia, that lie was entitled to special compensation for services rendered or offered to be rendered, as such district attorney, to Peters, receiver of the Exchange Na¬ tional bank of Norfolk, was decided against him by the supreme court of t he United States Monday, in an opin¬ ion delivered by Justice Harlan. The opinion is expressed at Wash¬ ington that the cause of the Tine iuail •ver for the past few days is due in part to the .belief that the goverment in Ilussiais contemplating the step of adopting silver as a part of her mon¬ etary system. It is said that intima¬ tions have boon received hero by tho government officials that Russia will replace her uncovered paper money with silver to-be used for subsidiary coin. . Leave was grunted Constable Swan by Monday the United States supremo court to tile an application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ho is the offi¬ cer who was imprisoned for seizing liquors in tho depot of the South Caro Jinu railroad nt Charleston. This is the suit brought to test, one section of tlio Tillman dispensary act. The court made tho writ returnable - forthwith and tho case will come up for argu¬ ment in a short time. There is a sentiment prevailing in Washington that when congress reas¬ sembles there will be n demand for some financial legislation looking to the reinstatement of silver. Prophe¬ cies ure wholesale that both houses of congress will pass a silver bill of some description, the character of which seems■ to -be not determined iu any form as yet. Many predict that if it is .vetoed'by the -president it will be passed over his veto. Such is tlio talk which is heard in and about tlio corrid¬ ors the lonely lohhies of the capitol and in the committee rooms. Tlio president, Friday, Clarence H. Harris, formerly of tho convicted National hank, of Dubuque, Iowa, of falsely making ports to the comptroller, who guilty and sentence bAsed suspended.' petition was on the alleged placed bv Harris in tho word of president of tRiobank. The takes occasion to say: “If and district attorneys think indicted ought Hot to he punished the indictments had better be by them, instead of bringing about n conviction and immediately it with a request for pardon.” The low water mark of the balanoe of tho treasury was reached Thursday, the total stood at $99,908,- 242, of which $84,656,412 was tho gold reserve. The large expenditures over receipts thus far this month are re¬ sponsible for this condition, but no alarm of uneasiness is felt. The-hope is expressed that better times .will soon come and the reserve, as well as the net currency balance; will again begin to rise. ' It was stated nt th< department that no order having in view the actual coinage of the silver bullion in the treasury purchased un¬ der the sherraan act, have yet been issued, but they are expected any time. A Cipher .llomnitc from llouiofu. The state department Monday re¬ ceived a communication from Honolulu telegraphed from Sau Francisco. It arrived by steamer China. Itiswrit- NO. 42, ten in the navy department cipher. Experts were set to work upon the dis¬ patch in the afternoon and labored over it for several hours. After secur¬ ing the substance of this official com mvmieation, Secretary Gresham took a copy of it out to Woodley for a con icreneii over the matter w ith President Cleveland. Nothing was given out from the state department during the afternoon as to the stubstance of the dispatch. Hands Oft Hawaii. There is a great deal of gossip anil many rumors as to the administration’s policy witli regard to Hawaii, but trom the best information obtainable, Minister Willis, who should have ar¬ rived at Honolulu last Sunday, has in¬ structions to keep hands off, that the provisional government will not besus tained by the power of the United States, nor will the monarchy be re¬ established. The people of Hawaii will ho afforded a fair opportunity to ‘decide for themselves what sort ot government they want, while the Uni¬ ted -States holds nloof. This govern vroent will not permit any other gov¬ ernment. to interfere in any manner whatever. ItiiMiniiH Arrrated. • The Russian minister at Washing ington has intervened in the matter of ten escaped Russian convicts, who were recently picked up in the Pacific ocean and lauded at San Francisco. I'lie minister asked that the men be arrested, presumably for tho purpose of ascertaining whether they are crim¬ inal offenders escaped from Siberia. Hie treasury department promptly noted on the request und ordered the arrest of the men and it has received word that this has been accomplished and that tile men are in jail. The commissioner of immigration at Sau Francisoo has been given instructions to wire the facts in the case, including the affidavits of the men, to the de¬ portment, pending the receipt of whit.h further action will be postpone,d. WORK OF BOMB THROWERS. Fifteen People Killed and Many In* jureil by an Explosion. A special of Wednesday from Bar¬ celona, Spain, says: Tuesday night, during the performance of “William Tell,” at the Lyceum opera house, a place much frequented by tho elite of Barcelona society, two bombs, pre¬ sumably loaded with dynamite, were thrown from tho gallery. Olio ex¬ ploded with a terrific report. Almost every person in tho house sprung to to his feet in terror and dismay. Wild shrieks and erics of agony rose from tho lower jinrt of tho house, and it was known that many persons had been injured. FIFTEEN BODIES IN ONE HEAP. When tho wreckage wbs in Bomo do greo cleared away it was found that fifteen dead bodies, of which six were tlioso of men and nine the corpses of women. Tho bodies of the ladies lay closo together, their bright-colored evening dresses, laces and jewelry, gloves, hats and bonnets and other finery drenched in blood and torn in tho most fearful manner. It is reported that soon after the ex¬ amination of tho dead began that a large proportion of the killed belong¬ ed to one family who had taken a num¬ ber of it is a theater party in honor of tlio birth¬ day of one of those lying there shat¬ tered to death by tho anarchist bomb. The only persons who retained their prosouco of mind were the officials pres¬ ent. They knew that the outrage determin¬ was tho work of anarchists, and ed to prevent the escape of the miscre¬ ants. Some ran to tho gallery and surrounded that part from which the bomb had boen thrown. Several sus¬ picious-looking persons were placed under arrest, and when a closo exam¬ ination was made of tho prisoners, it was found that two were anarchists well-known to the police.
