Washington, Aug. 8.—Surprising rev elation* were made today through the disclosure of the well-guarded plans of President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, with the support of Admiral Dewey and the other mem bers of the general board of the navy, to begin at once the mobilisation In Pacific coast waters the most power ful cruiser fleet anywhere ln the world. Orders have been Issued for almost the entire cruiser strength of the Aslat- lo squadron to be brought across the Pacific, two new mobster cruisers will shortly be ready for service, the St. Louis Is now making her way up the west coast and the Washington and. Tennessee will start out to join them before the close of August., Pacific's Modern Fleet In accordance with the plans which have been under way for several weeks, Secretary Metcalfs former constituents living on Golden Gate harbor will have the opportunity of viewing sixteen mod em and capable fighting ships—eight of the world's biggest armored cruisers and an equal number of formidable pro tected cruisers—before Rear.Admiral Evans sails out from Hampton Roads with his sixteen monster battleships to Join them. These plans—the transfer of the At lantic fleet to the Pacific and the mob- filiation of the Pacific fleet off the Western coast of tho United States, augmented by half a dozen new ar mored cruisers—call for the concentra tion of what will doubtless prove to be the most formidable array of warships of any one nation ever assembled In time of peace. In fact, when Admiral Evans arrives off San Francisco he will be welcomed by Rear Admiral Day- ton, commanding another powerful fleet which will be almost as strong In ag gregate tonnage and number of heavy gups as the great battleship fleet. Will Create Stir. The plans promise to create almost as much of a stir throughout the world as the original announcement of the decision of the government to transfer the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific. So much attention has been devoted to the prospective dispatch of the Atlantic fleet around South America that the disposition and Increase of the Pacific fleet has been entirely overlooked. The Pacific fleet at present Is com- K sed of three small squadrons—the elflc coast squadron, Philippine squadron and- the Asiatic- aquadron. The ehtps left In the Far East will be consolidated Into the Asiatic aquadron under command of Rear Admiral J. N. Hemphill, with headquarters at Manila.

It la asserted, the former Hartje coachman, co-respondent, has left the country. It Is also said he has been welt supplied with money. Shortly after the senate session open ed Senator Henderson, of the Fif teenth, naked unanimous consent take up for final action tho bill pro vldlng for the removal of the county site of Irwin from Irwlnvllle to Ocllla. Senator Felder objected, and read lengthy communication from Ir- wtnvllle people, who are fighting the removal. Senator Felder contended that the bill ought not to be passed until the pending contest before the secretary of state on August 12. Senator Henderson contended that the people had voted overwhelmingly for removal, and that It was simply an effort to delay the matter, and defeat the will of the people of Irwin county. Senator Wllkea said that tho bill ought to be passed. That Uie con testants had nad plenty of time In which to file their contest. Senator Hardman stated that the contestants were here In the Capitol with the pa pers, but declined to tym them over to the secretary of state. He opposed any such method of delay to defeat the will of the people. The fight against the passage of the bill gained but one advocate—Senator Felder—and tho bill passed by a vote of 39 to 1. Senator Felder was the lone opponent It was Immediately transmitted to the house, Rectts Committee Visits. Senator Boyd offered a resolution providing that the house and senate committees on the State University shall visit the university and Its branches during the recess, and while the Institutions are In session. He gives as reasons that the busi ness of the general assembly now is •uch that the committees can not leave, and further that the university and Its branches are not In session. The general committees may be di vided Into sub-conlmltteea and the regular per diem of 34 per day Is to be allowed members not to exceed five days, Including expenses Under the rules ths resolution went over for one day. Senator Born moved to tako hla measure, relating to punitive apd com. pensatory damage, from the table and place It on the calendar, and the mo tion was adopted. Senator Williford moved for recon sideration of the bill passed by the senate Wednesday, known aa ths anti-' lobbying bill. He said the substance had been removed and the shadow only left. Senator Steed epoke for reconsiders, tlon, and said the i>eople demanded something more than was pawed by the senate Wedneeday. The house will not accept It,” he said, “and aa a consequence we will have no legislation along this line at all." ■This talk of reconsidering Is fool- ieh,” declared Senator Felder. "We are giving the people exactly what they asked for. We have a statute that accomplishes every purpose of this bill, anyway. We have stricken only what the people did not demand.” Senator Knight said that the bill as passed might aa well not be on the statute books Insofar as good It might do. The motion to reconsider was las; by a vote of 28 to 12. New Bills in Senate. The following bills were Introduced. By Senator Oordy (by request)—To amend the charter of the city of Colum. bus. By Senator Peacock—To amend act creating the city court of Abbeville. By Senator Walker—Tu amend the act establishing ths public school sys tem of Tallapoosa. Also to amend the charter of Tallapoosa. By Senator Brant ly—To authorise and require payment of costs to proper officials for trial and conviction of all convicts worked on the chain gang of Emanuel. By Senator Howard—For the relief of the comptroller general's office. By Senator Walker—To- require county policemen to give bond with good security. By Senator Sykes—A resolution to name a committee of three from the eenate and five from the house to visit the state sanitarium during the recess Two Propositions Win Before the Pri mary. That the people desire to elect their own city officials and to elect them by the majority rule was clearly proven when both propostttona were carried by a large majority In the primary election Wednesday. Oil the question of popular elections, tho vote was more than two to one, despite the most earnest opposition. The vote was 2,697 for and 1.128 against. The majority for popular Elections was 1,669. This was probably the only distinct surprise the primary brought forth. With the stubborn, persistent opposi tion the question had encountered, to gether with the fact that those who advocated It moat earnestly admitted they made a mistake when they al lowed the vote to be for popular elec tions of all or none, Instead of being separate on each official. It was thought by the politically wise that defeat would be Its fate. The resolution providing for an ex pression from the people at the pri mary on thle question was Introduced by City Executive Committeeman T. Poole, at the Instance of Alderman Curtis, whoh had advocated popular elections before council. The action of the people Is advisory to council and not mandatory. It provides for tha election by popular vote of the fol lowing officials, now sleeted by coun cil and boards of the council's mak- "superintendent of publlo schools, city clerk, city marshal, general manager and secretary waterworks, recorder, comptroller, building Inspector, city electrician, ejilef fire department, street Improvement collector, city warden, tax assessors, ward physician, health of ficer. license Inspector. Tho question of popular elections carried In every ward except the Eighth. The proposition of having tho prima ries governed by the majority rule ilan met with-even greater favor In die eyes of ths people than that of election by tho people, the former be ing carried by a vote of more than three to one. Tho vote for the majority rule was 2,776 and the voto against It only 803, ths majority for the new primary plan being 1,972. Aa was the case with the popular election, the expression from the peo- ile on the majority rule Is not man- Jatory, but advisory. Tho difference • Is that the expression on popular elec tion le advisory to council, while that on the majority rule Is advisory to the legislature. There la now pending In council an ordinance by Alderman Curtis provid ing for popular elections of several city officials. There Is now pending before the legislature a bill by Messrs. Sla ton. Blackburn, and Bell, of Fulton, providing for the majority rule ln primaries In this city. Council several months ago adopted a resolution by Alderman Peters, In which the legislature was requested to pass a law requiring that In oil cities of over 75,000 population In Georgia, and where primaries are held, that no candidate be declared the nominee of that primary until he has received a majority of the votes cast. The resolution further requested that tha bill provide that In oil cases 'where no candidate received a clear majority of all votes cast ln the first primary that the two highest candidates run again, and that the one receiving the most votes In the second primary be the nominee. The bill, ns Introduced In the legis lature, so provides. It has been re ported favorably by the Judiciary com mittee of the house, and will probably be made a law at this session. If this 1* the case. It will apply ln the next race for mayor, nldermen. and councilman. It It Is made Into a law and there are more than two candi dates In the race for mayor, the one receiving the highest vote will not necessarily be the nominee, as has been the case In the past. He must receive, more than half of the votes cost. If, no one receives this majority, then the two highest candidates will run It off In a second primary and the one then winning Is the nominee. The same holds true with the election of alder men, counellmen, and other city offi cials chosen by the people. It was charged by Walter R. Brown. _J the city executive committee, that this second primary plan la a stab at James O. Woodward, who has twice been mayor and who commands such a solid vote that In all cases where there has been a number of candidates the field he has been elected. audit the books and report back to the next session.
