The indications for Georgia to-day arc for Ik< ars or thunder storms, with froah winds, mostly northeasterly; and for Eastern Florida occasional showers, with northeasterly winds, becoming brisk In south'm poitlon. A Chicago dispatch says that Bishop II M Turner of this Mate, has decided that he will support Mr. Bryan and make a number ot speeches In advocacy of his elect too. The Atlanta City Council seems to be living close to the teachings of the Scrip tures. In Bt. Luke tt is said: "If thy brother erespo** against thee, rebuke him. and If he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times tn a day, and seven times In a day turn again to thee, saying. I repent; thou shalt forgive him." This test seems especially to Ht the case of the Mayor. The second primary In South Carolina will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Until that time there will be a tug of war be tween the Prohibitionists backing Col. Hold and the dispensary advocates be hind tJov. MrSweeney. The Governor was not Tillman’s favorite candidate, but In the forthcoming primary the Senator will have to support him. At a distance It looks as tf the combined Tlltmanlte vote might be sufficient to overwhelm the gallant Hoyt; still It may be that the break from Tillman’s hosslsm. having been begun, witl go to the length of elect ing the leader of what Tillman called the “unholy alliance between preachers and barkeepers.** ~ * ——i - —a - C i ,4... THE Ill'UlO-AMERICA* PHUPOtII TIO*. In dealing with the Chinese situation the diplomatists, from prevnt Indications, have a task that will be longer and harder than that which the generals had who rescind the foreigners who were besieged In (he British legation In Pekin. It was hoped that as soon as the work of rt • u- Ing the minister! 1 was completed, the Pow ers would have but little difficulty in agreeing upon a policy lo he pursued In dealing with China. It Is loginning to lie apparent, however, that It will not be an easy matter to reach an agreement. The Powers, with the exception of the Frilled Stales, are Jealous of each other. Each one suspects the other of de.-lgiis on C’hl neae territory, and. consequently, no one of them puts full conlldence In lha declar ations of the other The I'nlted States and Russia are willing to withdraw from Pekin at once. They have reached an understanding on that point. Russia, In deed, Is ready to withdraw from China, and It I* probable that the I'nlted Slates are also witling. The other Powers are now debating the question as to whether they are wi ling to withdraw from Pekin. It Is said that England was very much surprised lo learn that the I'nlted States hud agreed with Russia to withdraw from Pekin. She does not trust Russia. Her Idea Is that Russia Is anxious for peace now In order lo com plete flu* Siberian Railway, because, when she has completed the road, she will be In a position to seise the whole of Man chuila If that Is Russia's purpose she has given no evidence of it. Naturally England does not want to withdraw from China without an understanding aa to whether Russia Intends to selxe n part of the territory of the Chinese Empire in the near future. The belief Is that Germany will not con sent to the Russo-Amerlean proposition. It Is believed to be her purpose to de mand a very large Indemnity In territory for the assassination of her minister A German field marshal has ta-en appointed lo command the allied forces, and It Is not probable that Germany will he willing to withdraw her troops from Pekin be fore his arrival, and the chances are that she will not consent to their withdrawal unlit the question of Indemnity Is settled Japan was cheated out of the solid ben efits of her successful war with China In 105. and It may be considered certain that •he Intends to have her share of what ever benefits come from the present trou ble with China. Neither France, Austria nor Italy has given any Intimation as lo what she thinks of the Russo-American position, and It Is probable that nothing will be heard from them until they know the decision of England and Germany. It Is quite aafe to say, however, that there will not be a prompt agreement be tween the Powers. The chances are rath er against an agreement being reached. In the meantime the American people are anxious that the Amerhwn troop* shall be withdrawn from Pekin, and even from China. They are apprehensive that If they are kept there while the Powers are trying lo reach an understanding there will he complications that will lead to further and more serious trouble. TTie United States do not want any territory They simply want equal trade advantages. It Is doubtful If there would be an effort to deprive them of theae advantage* even If they should withdraw from China at once. THE (iRKAT ROT.UL STHKKT. Thirty years ago It was seriously pro posed lo open Hull street through the public squares. with a view to making it the chief retail business atreet of the city; ami this year Alderman Dixon has advo cated rutting through certain Minorca on Abercorn atreet, after the manner that a proposed (or Hull at reel aa an ex periment. anti to let the jceople ace how that atreet would look and what a con venience the improvement would be. If ihe change would be good thing for Abercorn atreet. It would be a better one for Bull. Forcibly It may take the peo ple thirty year* more to come to thla way of thinking, bui then again It may be that, aa In the c**e of the removal of the Iron f.nce around Forsyth Dark, they may aooner moke up their minds to ac cept modern progresalve ideas, und con sent to have the central and principal street of the city opened up for business development. That the trend of retail trade |s towards Bull street, the logical situation for It. Is plainly to be seen In the new stores that have lately been built und occupied In both the old and th newer sections. The growth of the city Is southward and the great retail street must eventually run lengthwise the city. And there is no other street so well adapted to retail business purposes as Bull street. If it were cut through the squares, leaving small parks on each able of the roadway at the present park place*, there would be no more convenient and handsome business street to be found in any city. It is a noticeable fact that very few resiliences front on Hull atreet. Asa rule the buildings facing that thoroughfare are stores, churches or public buddings; and the number of commercial houses on it are steadily- increasing In number Without any injury to either public or rnvaie property, the roadway might well be extended not only through the small squares, but through the park and the military parade ground to the southern extension of the street to the city limits. And this done. Bavannah would have one of the tlneat business streets and prome nades In the world. A HUMP UIHIIKA CHI R( H. In many cities churches and theaters close their doors during the hottest months of summer. In the case of the former the pastor goes away to some re sort. leaving a substitute to attend to the marriages, christenings and deaths during his absence. But In the ease of the 'al ter there Is only a removal to the roof garden and a lightening of the ehararter of the amusement. That the roof garden Is a popular place of resort on warm evenings Ims been abundantly demon strand, and (he institution has come to stay. If the garden on the roof is a good thing for -the away," why is It not a good thing for the church? If vaudeville amid palms and lanterns. In the higher and cooler atmosphere above the auditoriums proves so attractive, would not services of songs ami sermon* amid similar sur roundings prove equally gratifying and attractive to church-going people? A congregation at Columbus, Inrt., has taken tiila vle/f of the mallei: god cotuuucted THE MOKMKG NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1000. Its new church minus a tall steeple, hut with n commodious and attractively ap pointed roof garden. In arrangement the t hurch might be called a three-decker It has an auditorium In the basement, an other on She main floor, and a third on Ihe roof. The last named la modeled after the theatrical roof gardens, with open side* and protective hjllustradea around ihe wall*. Illa adorned wllh ferns, palms and potted plants. At one end la a plat form, which, however. Is moveable. so that It may be transferred to any desired ■usltion. The lighting la done wllh rle - lilc bulhe. ami fancy lanterns may be employed upon occasion. It la probable aLo that a fountain will be Installed, in order to secure a further cooling of the atmosphere and a more gerden-llke effect. It Is flaking nothing to gay that the Co lumbus roof garden church will prove pop ular. There will be none ol the hot stuffiness about that auditorium which characterises nsmy church Interiors dur ing the summer months. There will be * restful, refreshing atmosphere about the open air plan* of worship which will ap peal to many person# who might not oth erwise attend the services. The Innova tion of Ihe Columbus congregation Is one worthy the careful consideration by other congregations contemplating the building of church edifices. To adopt the roof gar den as un adjunct to the church might se riously Interfere with the accepted styles of church architecture, but that ought lo lie a secondary consideration If II will extend the Influence of the church and strengthen Its hold upon Ihe people. IIAI.K'n IUH'OMimTBAT I'OMITIO*. Senator Hale of Maine Is making speeches In his state, urging his constitu ents to support Mr. McKinley, although he Is opposed to the Philippine policy of the Republican parly. He opposed the ratification of the Parts treaty by which this country acquired sovereignty of the Philippines. In his speeches he says that Mr McKinley should be re-elected and the Republican party continued In power because the Philippine policy of that party will ultimately be rejected by the people. That la a rather remarkable position to take. If Henator Hale la against hold ing the Philippines as a permanent pos session he ought to have the courage of his convictions and vote wllh the parly that Is pledged to give the Filipinos an Independent government. What assur ance has he. If Mr. McKinley Is re elected, that the people will reject the Philippine policy of Ihe Republican party? Will not that parly take the re-election of Mr. McKinley as an Indorsement of Its policy? It certainly will. The re-election of Mr McKinley means the retention of she Philippines. Nobody knows that better than Senator Hale. He I* simply misleading the people when he tell* them that the Imperialistic pol icy of the Republican party will not pre vail even though that party Is Indorsed at the polls. Neither Senator Hale nor Senator Hoar haa shown Idmself Mg enough to rise above parly line*. They are clear-head ed enough to see what la right, but they have noi the courage to do what I* right. In their speeches In the Senate they both took a position against the Philippine policy of their parly, but being unable to control their party, they weakly yielded to party Influences, und are now advo cating Mr. McKinley's re-election. They are trying to excuse their Incon sistency and weakness by attacking Mr. Bryan for urging the ratification of the treaty by which the Philippines were ac quired. They aeem to think that Mr. Bryan Is to blame for the apectade they are making of themselves before the country. What hurls them Is Ihe knowl edge that Mr. Bryan has been consistent throughout. He did urge the ratifica tion of Ihe treaty, but at the same time he Insisted that a resolution should be adopted declaring It to be the policy of the government to give the Filipino* Ihetr Independence— lo deal with them Just o* It was proposed to deal with the Cu bans. Ills position on the Philippine question Is Impregnable from any point of view, and that Is the reason they dis like him so heartily and abuse him so viciously. VBK Poll HORRY AT HONE. European governments seem anxious to borrow money In thla country. England borrowel a good many millions of dollars of us a few weeks ago, and it waa an nounced very soon afterward* that Rus sia wanted to borrow of us 1150.010/00. It em* now that Hwiden Is desirous of borrowing ♦10.000,000 of us. Doubtless the ilhah of Persia will undertake to place some of the bond* of his government In thla country In the near future.

Capitalist*, however, .>■ that tlt- re Is no profit In American ships built for the foreign carrying trade What they mean, probably, is that the profits are not large enough to tempt them to put the Sr money Into s'rim* hips But why should they not bo satisfied with small profit* at first? It Is pretty ecrtaln that, as e m pet It ton Incr ased In shipbuilding:, the cost of ships would be less, and as the attention of the people was turned toward* ocean transportation the cost of running steamships would decrease. It has not lie n so many ytars rlnoe railroad transportatlrn was higher In this country than In any European country. Now It Is les*. inti It cost* less o equip a railroad In Oil* country than In any other. Thl* Is because the American people have learned hew to build locomotives ant car* ch-aper than any other nation.

Along toward 11 o'clock he pus.-' I b> a well-known downtown fish and oyster store, and th* display of lob ster* in front of the establishment caught his eye. lie bought one that weighed about eleven pounds, and he packed It around with him for a few hour* until he could tliul Just the right liner he wanted lo lake him home. He got home after 3 In the morning, and he carried hi* lobster uu to his wife's room, probably with the ld u of appeasing her righteous wrath with the present. He turned Up Ihe gas and then clomped over to the foot of her t>ed and held up Ihe lobster.

"Thlsh lobsht'r—ain’t It a babe?" he asked, switching the weight to the other hand.
