The indications for Georgia to-day are for generally fair weather, with light to fresh southerly winds; and for Eastern Florida, local rains and thunderstorms in southern portion; fair 1n northern portion, and fresh southeasterly winds. If you see it in the dispatches from Chi na, it may be so. Atlanta's funny attempt to discipline her Mayor for getting drunk and cutting up queer didoes is almost as laughable as is the Atlanta idea of the ethics of true sportsmanship. What is believed to be the biggest nug get of gold ever found arrived in New York from the Klondike a few days ago. The gold is almost pure, end the nugget is valued at approximately $135,000. It is quite generally believed in Chica go that Eugene V. Debs will retire from the Social Democracy ticket about Oct. 1, In favor of Mr. Bryan. Negotiations are said to be now in progress looking to the retirement of Debs. The probabilities are that when election day comes, the Republicans will find themselves confront ed by an opposition that is remarkable for its solidity. 6heriff Calloway of Wilkes county, this j elate, is in Orange, N. J., where he will to-morrow serve an "old-fashioned Geor gla barbecue” for the delectation of the International league of Press Clubs, Reai- Jy, now, is this just the proper, the patri otic, thing for Sheriff Calloway to do? If the press club people warned a real, old fashioned Georgia 'cue. and only Callo way could cook it, why didn't Calloway tell them to come down to Wilkes county and get it? Is he going up to Jersey and give away the secret of hils culinary art, to that the Jersey 'ske-cters will be able to serve Georgia 'cuts? We do not be lieve even Sheriff Calloway, expert that fie I*. can produce a genuine Georgia 'cue In Jersey, unless he hus carried all of his firewood, his skewers and his hole in the ground with him. The postofflee department has not yet made public the report of Mr. Bristow, who went to Havana to investigate the postal frauds there, but the New York Tribune has the information upon what it considers good authority, that Mr. Bris tow's report will show that there was the greatest extravagance in Director Rath bonc'a oflice.. It is said that Items dis allowed und suspended in the accounts of Italhhone amount to $91,629.86, of which $9,000 la oil account of double payment of salaries, etc. The disallowances thus far made amount to $11,692, while $79,934 has been supended, much of which will be dis allowed. Among Rathbone’s hills were nearly $4,000 for household furniture and supplies, among the Hems In one bill being an overcoat and a trunk. Among five Items for cost of repairs to his "official residence'' were the following: Placing gas fixture over billiard table, $4,".; instanta neous hou er placed In bathtub, $5!.33; bathtubs, $113.1/1; plumbing, material, la bor. etc., $136.91. There were many other similar Items, all going to show that Mr. Rsthbone had evidently made up his mind to live in style, since Uncle 6am could be made to foot the bill. A> KXTH\ SESSION* PROBABLE. The President wifi not cell Congress to gether in extra session to consider the questions growing out of the uprising in China unless it becomes absolutely neces sary for him to do bo. He does not want Congress and a presidential campaign on his hands fit the same time. The situa tion in China, however, is becoming very serious. All the indications are that it Is going to take many thousands of troops to restore order there. If the re sistance to an advance on Pekin should be as great as the resistance shown at Tien Tstn an army of 100,000 would be needed to open a way to the Chinese cap ital. The United States are expected to fur nish their share of troops. They have a very small number nt Tien Tain at pres ent. Where are they to get more? It is said that the war department might suc ceed In getting together nbout 6,000 addi tional troops for China by taking a few from each of the following places, name ly, Cuba. Porto Rico, the Philippines and a number of companies from the army posts in the West. There is. of course, a largo number of troops in the Philippines -somewhere near t/),(WO—but Gen. MacAr thur says that he cannot spare any of them. Indeed, only recently he called for additional troops. The insurgents are active and aggressive, and he is finding it difficult to hold them in check with the force which he has at his command. There Is no doubt that the Filipino lead ers are well informed as to what is taking place in Chinn, and they would be quick to take advantage of the weakening of our for. es in the Philippines. No doubt they are watching to see how many of our Philippine troops are sent to China. The* war in the Philippines is not over yet by any means, though Gen. Otis said it was when he left the islands. Gen. Mac- Arthur has been doing a great deal of fighting ever since he has been In su preme command. The fact must not be overlooked that he has to cover a very large territory with n sma’.i army. With a larger force he would be able to pursue the guerilla bands of insurgents. Now he cannot do more than hold the widely scattered posts nt which his troops are stationed. If he were to abandon any one of these posts the im pression would get abroad among the Filipinos that the United States had to come to the conclusion they could not hold the islands. An impression of that sort would lead to the undoing of much of that which has been done. It would b© a mistake to withdraw sol diers from the Philippines for service in China. If many more troops are frequired for service in China, volunteers will have to be called for, and Cotigress will have to be called together for the purpose uS giving authority to enlarge the army and to provide the means for conducting mili tary operations in China. It will be known probably within a very few' days whether or not there will be an extra session of Congress. The President and his cabinet are waiting patiently and anxiously for news from China, hoping that the dis patches will show that the situation is improving, and that there is a prospect that the Chinese government will soon be able to compel respect for its authority. BOER IMMIGRANT*. In our dispatches yesterday it was stat ed that it was probable that at the close of the South African war a large number of Boers—between 10,000 and 12,000 —would come to this country. A good many invitations have been sent to them from people and societies to make their fu ture. homes here. It is probable that if the British are successful a few of the Boers will leave South Africa, but the great majority of them will not. There is no particular reason why they should. They will have practically as much personal liberty as they ever had—that is, they will have con trol of their local affairs and will not have to pay any more taxes. They will not be as well satisfied as when they were in dependent, but they will not be the vic tims of oppression. It id certain that those who remain In South Africa will be far happier than those who go elsewhere. They are accus tomed to the conditions which prevail there end they know just what to do in order to make a living. In this country everything would be strange to them. Ji would take them a generation to get ac customed to the change. Jt might be a good thing for their children to come to this country, but It would be better for them to remain where they are. The very general understanding is that they are not a hard-working people. They have never studied how to get the best re turns from the soil. They give about all of their attention to cattle raising. To get along in this country they would have to work etcadiiy and would have a great deal to learn in order to become success ful farmers. And not knowing the lan guage they would not find their surround ings very congenial. It is doubtful if man}' of them will come here and it is a question whether they would act wisely in coming. If any of them were to come, however, they would receive a cordial welcome. It is probable that the climate of the Southern states would suit them better than that of any other section of the country. Besides, in,the South land can be obtained at less price per acre than in the East or the West. It will be time enough to and lac use the question of loca tion, however, when there are some as surances that a very” considerable number of them have decided to make their homes in the United States. Some of the Chinese residents of San Francisco are talking about suing the cit.v for $2,000,000 damages, alleged to have been sustained by them by reason of the loss of business and other hurt caused I by the recent quarantine of the Chinese quarter during the plague scare. Per* haps the San Francisco Chinese have been instructed to enter this suit, in order that there may he something of fin ofTset to the cults for indemnity that will in all probability be brought by this government m consequence of the Boxer troubles in China. Gen. Miles is understood to be in favor of the immediate withdrawal of a strong force of soldiers from the Philippines and throwing it into China. The fact that Milw favors this plan is about equivalent to an assurance that it will not be adopt | od. The department has practically lim ited the usefulness of the tanking genetal to the devising of fashions in uniform* for himself* ‘ THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JUDY 18. WOO. \ <X>?SFFBENTE OF THE POWERS M GGE*TED. | Thus far the Powers have worked to gether harmoniously in their operations In Chino. But the time is close- at hand when it will require the highest diplomacy and the exercise of good judgment and great patience to enable them to get along together. Our government has suggested the necessity for a conference of the Powers. It is evident that if the movement on Pekin is to be effective there must be 1 concert of action Everything must move like clock-work. It is important that the allied forces shall have but one commander. Which Power shall furnish the command ing general? That is a question that will not be easily settled. And in the appointment of other officers jealousies are likely to crop out. How many troops is each of the Powers to furnish? That is another question about which there is certain to be a difference of opinion. The thought is thrown out that as the United States have no "sphere of influence” in China they ought not to be expected to furnish as many as those countries which hove large interests at stake. This thought is thrown out by our own government, however, and is not likely to meet with the approval of other Pow ers. It will he said that the open-door policy has been agreed to, and that there fore the commercial interests of the Uni ted States in China are now, or soon will be, as great as those of any other nation. After the disturbances .are settled there will he questions to-be settled that are likely to cause trouble. Suppose the Powers undertake to set up a government in China and sustain it? How long would it be before they would be quarreling among themselves? It will be recalled that the United States, Germany and Great Britain cVtuld not get along harmoniously in their effort to jointly sustain a govern ment in the Samoan Islands. What pros pect would there be. of all of the Powers agreeing as to what It would be best to do in the government of China? Hon. James Bryce, in an article in the New York Evening Tost of last Saturday, reviewing the situation in China, in speaking of the difficulty of several Powers exercising Joint control over some other government, said: "There is nothing in politics so diffi cult, nothing so prolific of misunderstand ings and suspicions which may ultimately lead to war, as the attempt of several mutually jealous Powers to exercise a joint control over some other government or territory. And it is chiefly for this rea son that those in Europe who look beyond the Immediate business of rescue and pro tection into the problems which the fu ture must bring upon us, and bring be fore long, deem those problems to be among the hardest which statesmen in our days have been called upon to solve." The best fighters are those have an Incentive for fighting. The suggestion comes from Macon that the time is now ripe for the colored washerwoman of the South to settle scores with the Chinese, who Rave invaded their sphere of en. deavor and largely superseded them in a business which had been peculiarly their own from a time whence the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. In Macon a day or two ago, according to the News, a big, fat, ebon-hued washerwoman with a bundle of clothes on her head, was heard to say that if the United States government would take women as sol diers, she would volunteer and go to fight the Chinese, and that she knew of a number of others who would do the same thing. “We kin git up six oump nies in Macon," she said, “an* I know I kin whip a whole pasßle o' dem China mens; dat’s jist whalTT kin.” The proba bilities ore that the sentiments of the Ma con washerwoman would' find an echo In the hearts of Aunt Dinah, Maum Phoebe and Sis Chloe in every city of the South, where the Chinaman has unrolled hr* pigtail and squirted water from his mouth upon the shirts of the leading citizens. We should hate to see Dinah, Phoebe and Chloe march off to the war to do up the Chinamen suffer than the latter ever did up a collar, while there are eo many young bucks eunnlng themselves on f'nc comers who could be better spared; nev ertheless we are bound to admit that the washerwomen have a grievance against the yellow men who wear their shirts out side, and we believe that if the black women could get the Boxers across their knees they would be equal to wielding the soap paddle so effectively that the insur rection would soon be quelled. The cables stopped working on the Chi nese war npwg the other night, to fla*h across the ocean the important informu tion that the Prince of Wales had anew coat. Not new in the point of age, for the Prince never wears an old one, but new in the matter of cut. In other words, his Royal Highness, whose chief useful ness consists in laying cornerstones and setting the fashion In men's attire, had given sanction to anew style—a single breasted frock. It goes without saying, now, that the eingle-breasted frock will be quite the thing this season, to the very great joy of tailors and the corresponding dismay of many of the fellows who will have to provide themselves with new coats. The new style coat, it is said, will prove more comfortable than the old dou ble-breasted frock, such as our public men have been obliged to wear for tile past several seasons. But why did not the Prince do something realty sensation al hy appearing In a shirt waist? Such action on his part would hove gone n long way towards emancipating English-speaking mankind from the tyranny of the fashion which demand* a coat no matter whether the mercury elands at 60 or 100 degrees. "When the volunteer army for the Span ish war was called into existence it was found that there was a lamentable lack of modern arms and ammunition in our arsenals. Practically all of the volunteer regiments had to go into the service with old Springfield tides and black powder cartridges. At Santiago our smoke-pro ducing powder was responsible for a con siderable percentage of the casualties. In the event of another call for volunteers, however, a similar disadvantage in the matter of arms and ammunition would not confront us. The government's factories have been kept pretty busy during the past two years, und there are now on hand pretty nearly all of the guns and stores that would lie needed to equip a new volunteer army. These supplies in clude not only standard army rifles and smokeless cartridges, but flelda guris and ali necessary equipment* There has been considerable speculation as to the cause of the Boxer uprising. There is no longer any occasion for it. The real cause has been disclosed by Col. James Hamilton Lewis. In an interview with the Washington Post, on Monday last. Col. Lewis said: “I charge the Chi nese outbreak directly upon the Republi can adminitration." All who have any acquaintance with Mr. know that he would not make a charge of this sort unless he were certain of his facts. There fore it may bq considered as settled that the Republican party is responsible for the outrages which have been committed, and which are still being committed, in China. When the troubles in China have been settled it is probable that the Euro pean Power* will turn to the United States and demand to know what the pur pose of the McKinley administration was in bringing about the outbreak in Chin.i. Mr. McKinley may deny that he is respon sible for it. but no doubt Col. Lewis will be on hand with proof sufficient to con vince England, Russia. Germany and the rest of the Powers that Mr. McKinley is not telling the truth. It will be a great day for Mr. Lewis when the opportunity presents itself for him to prove to the world McKinley, Mr. Hanna and some other worthies of the Republican party actually caused the Chinese rioters to murder the members of the legations and the missionaries in Pekin. One of the most touching stories that has yet percolated through from China, is that the ladies of the British legation had provided themselves with poison, in antic ipation of the triumph of the Boxers. When ali hope had fled, it wes the pur pose of the heroic women to end their own lives rather than fail into the hands of the barbarians. PERSONAL. —Prof. Henry M.

His doctorate thesis was on "The Bank of France and Discount," and he is said to have treated the subject so brilliantly that the jury him, and the Fa culte de Droit retained his paper to con sider the advisability.of including it in the number of theses to be rewarded at the end of the year. —Sir Martin Conway arrived in this country la* week on his way to South America to resume his explorations among the Cordilleras.

"What’s the matter?" asked his mate. "Why, he says: ‘Under the circumstan ces, should you go into the water after a meal.’ Where are we to get it, then?"— Philadelphia Press. Cl RUK\T COMMR.XT, The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says; "The New York World explains that the ex pression 'There must be no scuttle policy' (in the- Philippines) which President Mc- Kinley used In his recent s|>eeeh at Can ton, 0., is of English origin. I-ord Salis bury, according to the World, coined the sentence and employed it in a speech con demning the abandonment of the Soudan. Lord Salisbury is at the head of the im perialist party in Great Britain, and it is, of course, eminently proper that Mr. Mc- Kinley. as the leader of American imper ialists, should go to his friends in England for a phrase descriptive of his policy, which is modeled on the English pattern. There will be great rejoicing in London if Mr. McKinley is re-elected, for he is counted upon to pull a large number of British chestnuts out of the fire through his policy of 'no scuttle* while England is occupied elsewhere.’ The Washington Times (Dem.) says: Although the campaign has hardly open ed. It has already begun to produce some Interesting developments. The situation discloses one fact of Importance, which is that our fellow-citizens of Teutonic birth are not to he scared or clubbed this year with silver. Their leaders declare that the currency question is too thoroughly set tled for the next four years to make it a present issue. On the other hand, they re gard the carpetbag imperialism of the ad ministration and its ownership by and sub serviency to the oppressive trusts as vital Issues.” | The Columbia (S. C.) State (Dem.) says: j "There Is no peace In the Philippines and there will not be until the Democratic programme shall be carried out. If Mc- Kinley should be re-elected the Republi can Congress at Its next session would not only keep up the army to Its present strength, but would probably enlarge it and give us the burden of supporting 100,- 000 troops for Philippine service alone. Imperialism has an Insatiable maw and an infinitesimal conscience.” The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem ) says: | “After the Chicago convention of 1696 the record who had repudiated the plot form bet.'ame somewhat rrfbnoton ous In the Republican press. This year it b*ghiß already to look as If the Demo cratic press would have to set aside a regular column to chronicle the breaks from McKinleglsm. Time sets all things and the best laugh is the last.” ITEMS OF I INTER EST. —What is believed tc he e Viking corpse has been dug up in a peat bog at Damen derf, in Schleswig, and placed in the Ki*i Museum. It was well preserved, had red hair r.nd was clothed in coarse wool*n clothing, with sandals on the feet. Kiel experts think that it was burled fifteen hundred years ago. —George. W. Wafers, an American, who has been living for a number of years in Santiago, Chili, and who is now visiting this country, said in discussing South American affairs with a Washington newspaper man: "There isn’t jnuJh pa triotism there, or rather there isn’t much patriotism as we Americans understand the meaning of the word. The South Amer ican will fight If his flag is insulted, his reasons being twofold: He's rather ticklish of his honor, and then he’d rather light than eat/ What the republics lack is civic patriotism—patriotism that will cause the citizen to subordinate self to the public interest. The South American politician is opt to look upon public office as a private snap, and such a thing as exposure doesn’t worry him so long as he escapes punishment, and he usually does." —England’s new torpedo boat Viper, which is worked on the turbine prin ciple. reached a speed of forty-three miles an hour in a trial trip on Friday, which is away ahead of anything done by steam when used in the ordinary way, says the Philadelphia Press. The inven tor claims for the turbine system that it gives double the horsepower of steam in the same space and saves one-third the weight, while among its other advan tages he reckons eleanlinees in the engine room anV absence of vibration, the latter tending to prolong the life of the vessel. If all these claims, in addition to the great speed, can lie substantiated in larger vessels, as he says they can, anew method of propulsion on the water is at the service of mankind, and is certain to be largely, if not generally, adopted. —A document of some interest was en tered for record at the Franklin (Penn.) County Court House a few days ago. It is a deed conveying to Judge Jeremiah S. Black 240 acres of land near Mercerburg by President James Buchanan. The con veyance was made in June, 1868, after Mr. Buchanan had retired from office, together with Judge Black, who was in Buchan an’s Cabinet, first as Attorney General and -then as Secretary of State. The price paid for the land by Judge B’ack was $15,624. A story connected with this trans fer of realty, says he Chambersburg (Penn.) Valley Spirit, showed the confi dence that Judge Black had in Mr. Buch anan. The President wanted to sell the land to the Judge, who said he would fake it without seeing it. President Buchanan insisted, however, that he go to Franklin county and see the property. Judge Black went to Chambersburg and stayed a few' days with friends, after which he returned to his home at York, and made the purchase without having seen the land. More than $15,000,000 worth of the old fashioned fractional paper currency is st 11 outstanding, and. though seme of it has doub less been destroyed, the bulk of it Is held by collectors and private in dividuals, says the Philadelphia Satur day Post. Every now 7 and then some old person dies and the heirs, finding a quan tity" of the “shinplasters” in a disused pocketbook or some other hiding place, send them to Washington to be redeemed. Occas'onally, co, banks forward quite a lot of the notes in unbroken sheets, just as they got them many years ago. At first these sheets had to be cut apart with but afleiward they were per forated like postage stamps, so as to be torn apart. Not long ago the treasury received a handkerchief fuil of this cur rency. of the first issue, each note being signed by Treasurer Spinner with his own hand. About $3,000 worth of this frac tional paper comes in fof redemption each year, ands me of the best of it is saved out by the department to be given away in response to applications from collec tors. —The comparative ineffectiveness of the rifle fire of the British soldiers- in South Africa has called out a considerable amount of comment in England, says the New York Tribune. A Bisley expert, writing in the Daily Mail, notes that in the Britsih army volley firing Is cultivated to a large extent. He says that it is be lieved to regulate the expenditure of am munition. to compel each soldier to. fire coolly with properly adjusted s-ight, and to enable the commander to direct his fire at the desired point. The same write*, however, says that Burnham, the Ameri can scout, called attention to the fact that the Boers would “duck” when they saw the smoke of a volley, and rise to fire after it had passed over them. The truth is that volley firing cannot be used to ad vantage except against men in masses and at moderate ranges. American tactics-, however, prefer the use of magazine fire at short ranges and at the critical moment of attack or defense. The English employ ment of the volley is part of the service of the Queen, and which have received some pretiiy severe shocks in the course of the war in South Africa. —A dispatch from San Francisco says-: News comes from Corea that while China is in throes of a great crisis the hermit kingdom is mainly exercised over the Royal Cemetery because the soul of the murdered Queen can’t sleep in peace in its present quarters. ]>nst year the. elccetric railroad was opened from Seoul to the Royal Cemetery, five miles away. Now Harry R. Bostwick, of San Fran cisco, who built the electric road, has just signed a contract to build on imi>orial highway over whic'h the tombs and mas sive sepulchres in the cemetery may be* moved to a point fifteen miles further in the country. This removal is due to pre dictions of astrologers thet the young Queen’s spirit would never rest easily in the present cemetery. The King paid no attention to ihese predictions for a whole year, but now he has been brought to terms by astrologers and compelled to obey their will. Instead of removing her body the King has decreed that the whole cemetery shall be moved. Bostwick will build fifteen miles of roadway thirty feet wide, and a like length of trolley road. This roadway and railway extension to gether will cost a round million dollars. io say nothing of expense of rebuilding structures which are to be torn down. —The dispatch printed recently giving a brief account of the target practice of the battleship Texas must have puzzled some of the readers of It. remarks the New York Times. The story was that the ship had maintained her reputation for sheeting by hitting the target ten ttirus wii h the 6-ihch and 6-pounder guns. The dimensions of the target were also given. But the dispatch did not say any thing as to the number of shots fired. The hitting of the target in naval gun practice is practically the srme thing as scoring a bulls?ye in ordinary target fir ing. Shots which do not hit the target would often be of as much practical value In action as those which hit it. The scoring is done on a plan which takes Into account a space on the surface of the sea around the target equal In extent to the central part of the hull of a battle ship. The target Itself represents the center of the water-line of this hull, or the bulbeye. The fall of the shots Is accurately computed hy the use of the sextant and the plane table, and It must he obvious to the most casual observer that any shot failing within the pre scribed space on the surface of the wat-'r should be accounted a good shot. The p actice of the Texas was p-obsbly much better than the tn“re record of hitting the target, but this will not be known until the otfi -era detailed to plet the fall of the shots make their report.
