Mem bers moved about the chamber and converged with felloW-senators, while visitors held a reception In the rear of the dividing railing. The Candler substitute to the Hall bill was up for consideration. President West rapped for order, but n had little effect. Finally he became a bit nettled, and said with considera ble emphasis: "Benatont we are voting on an Im pnrtant bill, and It does seem that the members could pay a little more alien tlnn to the business under way."

He looked up from the business engaging him, and presuming It was some one of the many amendments offered to load down his substitute, replied: -No.” He looked puxsled at the shout of laughter that followed, and leaned over to ask some one what It was all about. Finding out. he arose and said: "Mr. President, I voted under a mis apprehension, and, therefore, beg to change my vote, I vote, present.” Senator Mills broke his long silence Tuesday. After the lntroduptlon of the resolution condemning the editorials of a certain newspaper relative to the vote on the Western and Atlantlo least bill, and expressing confidence In the honesty and Integrity of those who voted for It. Senator Mills roso and said: "Senators, I will break my long si lence, and for the first time In two r ears get up to. make a few remarks. want to say that when I read those editorials reflecting on the honesty and fairness of this body It made my blood boll, and I want, to say that such meth ods haven’t, my approval.” And his dehilt Into the Held of debate won geherous applause. Senator Herbert Williams believes In allowing the senate know his views on measures and-men, and never lets a good opportunity pass to make some enlightening remarks. Senator George H. Carswell, of the Twenty-first, Is the youngest member of the senate, but he has made a splen did record In that body. When an Important bill comes up he seeks all the Information possible on It, then votes for what he believes Is right And he usually votes right too, as an ex amination of the record will prove. Senator.W. C. Bunn Is the most de liberate speaker In the upper house, but he is a forceful one, nevertheless. Senator D. P. Bose, of the Fourth district, whose territory embraces Glynn, Camden and Carlton, raises lots of rice at his Owen’s ferry farm on the Satllla river, In Camden county. During the early part of the de bate Tuesday on the Candler substi tute and the Hall measure, Hon. Jos Hill Hall occupied a front seat While he was In the chamber the disorder wss st Its .height, though the member from Bibb was as quiet as could be. While President West was beating a tattoo trying to bring order out of the chaos. Senator Bennet sneaked across the aisle and suggested that maybe Mr. Hall's presence had something to do with It. Whereupon the Bibb man shambled out of the room. In a few minutes the senate was observing Its accustomed decorum. The senate session was extended CITY OF GREATER NEW YORK HAS LARGEST LAND AREA Frirat© Leased Wire. Washington. Aug. 8.—The census bu reau today published an Interesting collection of statistics regarding the final condition of the larger cities of the countries together with compari sons as to area and population. The Inquiry made In 1904 comprised all municipalities having more than SO,- 000 population, or 151 In number. It was found that New York had the largest land area, 209,118 acres. New Orleans stood second, with 125,- 600 acres; Chicago third with 114.922; Philadelphia fourth with 11,929, and Duluth fifth, with 40,228. The dtjr having tl •• .-ir.illus* land an:i a,is H<>- boken, with 828 acres. It is remarked that tl\pre Is often great disproportion between the area covered by a city and the number of Inhabitants. Duluth, ' with 62,000 Inhabitants, takes In more territory* than St. Louis, with Its 624,- 000. Salt Luke City, with a popula tion 6,000 lens than Hoboken, Included an area thirty-live times ns great. The total corporate expenditures of the 161 cities for the fiscal year 1904 were 2624.440,216, of which those of New York constituted 2187,060,171 or three-tenths. The report states that although New York has only twice the popmttta of Chicago, Its current eg penso* were nearly four times as great. During the fiscal year 1904 the total receipts of the 161 cities were 2694,< 176.999. The aggregate debt of 161 cities at the do-,, of the year was 81,811,482,616. The largest per capita net debt was re ported by Newton. Mass, $126.68. The second largest, by New York, $112.26, and the third by Boston. 2101.17.

(act that they were slow to get In the fight and thus let the Hokeltes, under the leadership of the strenuous Dr. McIntosh, take the Held boots, bag gage and all, before an effort was made :o counteract the Smith boom. But notwithstanding all this, there one real hope that nobody but Smith men feel assured will not fall them when the crucial tlnn- that there Is one oasts In the political desert In which the antl-Hokelics ex pect to water their caravans and rest heir tired feet when the vote Is count ed on the 31d. The very strong reason Is not based on any visible weakening of the Smith forces, but It Is bom of the old adage that history repeats Itself. There lives In this city a prophet by the name of Atkinson. How long he bae been prophesying passeth the re collection of the oldest Inhabitant. There Is a tradition told of him that before tht Ochlocknee river' washed Its crooked way and drifted Its snow white sand through Thomas county, this prophet said this river would never wash Its ugly gully through Thomas county. But this prophet's specialty Is politics. "Uncle Lum,” as he Is fa miliarly called, has a copyright upon political future tellings. He has prophesied the reeults years and months In advance, and the way they havs come to pass Is what Is doing the Howsllltee and Eatlllltea so much good at present. "Uncle Lum” Is an ardent Hokette, and ever since the race began he has been prophesying that Hoke would sweep the deck clean. Morning, noon and evening he prophesies that Hoke will carry' 140 counties In Georgia and all In the adjoining states. As-stated In the outset, this propheay Is a foun datlon for the belief of the antl-lloke men that by some way now unseen their bright hopes will be blasted and Instead of saving the stats, he can only look with longing eyes toward the mansion and gently chant: "That Is the place I long have sought, and mourned, because I have It not." The well-informed Howell and Estlll men need not trace "Uncle Lum's' prophesy back very far to logs him In the mist and shadows of the past. The voters of this generation remember how he foretold McKinley's Waterloo and Bryan's victory In 1886, also how he repeated It .In 1100. Then they remem ber how he discussed and abused Parker, yst prophesied his success. The boys who do not like Hoke take encouragement from "Uncle Iaim’s" propheay along this line, for they re. member how he made the air quiver when the election for city schools was up, and how he said It would never peas, but It did; and then they re member how he opposed city bonds for nothing. He rarely has -s corporal's guard with him when the count takes place. They also remember how he prophesied the defeat of the prohibi tion cause In this county In 1888, and yet It carried, with over 800 votes to spare. Notwithstanding this setback, his prophetic vision was still undimmed four years later, when he again prophesied the defeat of the prohibi tionists.
