How the Moors man age to live In it Is a mystery. Ono week's confinement Would kill a white man. The process of Incarceration will be simple. The American minister will present the request of the government of Kaldor Belgazl, the Basha ruler of Tangier. He will experience great pleasure In being able to oblige and Into Jail the arrested fugitive goes. Pinkerton Man is Late. P. C.

Banker Broken Down. Stensland has broken down. Re morse has been hts constant companion and his only bright moments since his capture were those when his captors took lunch with him. All night he wept contlnuousiy and at times his paroxysms of tears so alarmed the guards they were on the point of call ing a doctor. Btarietand sufifered also severe physical pain In addition to his mental agony. The captain of his guards, a distin guished looking, white bearded Arab, shortly after daybreak yesterday found Stensland, who had tossed for hours In bed,, had risen and was sitting In a chair rocking, weeping and moaning. He had placed a handkerchief over his eyes Rnd abandoned himself utterly to an outburst of grief. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and uncovered his eyes. There at his side stood the old white-robed, turbnned Arab. Arab Suggests Prayer. Down on his knees went the ton of the ancient Moslem faith, with hts right hand pointed to heaven. Then he bowed his head courteously and In pantomlne gravity suggested to hie prisoner that he And relief above.

He knew n was npt a particularly safe place from his point of view, but thought he would have a chance. .He believed there was enough riot and rebellion there; that a stranger might be unnoticed, but the real fact Is prob ably it was the longing of the wan dering son for an abiding place as near *» possible to his fatherland.

Mew York, Sept. 5.—Harry KendalJ Thaw today waa Indignant when In formed that hla trial for the murder of Stanford White would not be reached until the middle of November. The knowledge that he would be compelled to remain In the Tomba un til the cold weather, at least, made the prisoner gloomy and Irritable. He had hoped to be placed on trial early In October, and, believing firmly that he would be acquitted, he had counted upon being free before November. There are now confined In the Tombs no less than twenty-four prisoners awaiting trial on the charge of homi cide. Four others have been commit ted to the Tomba on a murder charge, but in the meantime are awaiting In dictment. Named In order with relation to the date of his Indictment, Thaw Is No. 11 on the list. Ten men are. therefore, entitled to trial ahead of him, hut there Is nothing about the cose of any of these ten which makes a lengthy trial at all likely. $ PLANNING ANOTHER REVOLT Secret Order Formed To Combat White People in India.

A. B. Wldener are concerned over the news that the traction magnate Is bound from Newport to his home In Philadelphia, on hla yacht Josephine, n very alck man. Mr. Wldener has been In poor health for some time, but recently his sickness has taken a de cided turn for the worse. ler In nomination for permanent chair man. As Judge Miller was escorted to the rostrum he was greeted with great applause. His speech of accept ance was brief, but strong. Ho stressed the pleasure felt on every side at a re united Democracy. Judge Miller Is, unfortunately, handicapped by a poor voice and frequent cries from the rear of "louder" seemed to distress him. The order of business for the conven tion, the appointment of the credential and platform and resolutions commit tee followed, n There followed a shower of resolutions, but It Is a remarkable fact that only two were reported on favorably. One, calling for a law to protect prohibition counties from the Importation of Intoxicants, was em braced as a part of the platform as adopted. The other, which caused the only real rumpus In the convention, was to have the chairman of the convention call the body together again, If the people should ratify the amendment for an appellate court, to nominate the candidates. Mr. Gray, chairman of the platform committee, first stated that this reso lution was adopted as a part of the platform, but later corrected the state ment by saying It was simply reported to the convention. After a big wrangle the whole matter was passed over, leaving the course of events to be shaped after the ratification of the court of appeals. Take a Rest. At 1:30 o'clock, finding Itself with out any business on hand, the com mittees being out, the convention ad journed for thirty minutes, but It waa after 3 o'clock before It assembled again. Still warm,*, but refreshed by the rest, the delegates were in their seats when Chairman Miller rapped for or der again. The report of the creden tials committee was ready and read. The Fulton county double-headed committee row, of over a year's stand ing, was settled by declaring the J. 13. Maddox committee the regular one. The contest in the Atlantic circuit for the aollcltorahip, brought by the Incumbent. Livingston Keenan, who waa defeated by seven votes by N. J. Norman, was thrown out, and Norman declared the nominee. A local wran gle waa also settled In Gilmer county. Seab Wright Speaks. As the platform committee waa still out, cries for Seab Wright started, and after hanging back modestly for a few minutes, he came to the front. 'The next governor of Georgia,” yelled one enthusiast, apparently for getful of the fact that Hoke Smith had not yet been nominated for that Job. , “The- night before Waterloo In my county," he began, but had to stop for the applause to subside, "Rube Ar nold came up to help us cinch It. Near the close of that meeting some old fellow In the rear of the hall Jumped to his feet and said, ‘Looks to me as If It was all over except the shouting,' land began that grand old doxology. 'Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.”’ ’ He declared that Hoke Smith would make good every* promise given. "Thank God. It Is a white man'a party In Georgia now and for all time. We stand together now under the old flag, Jeffersonian Democracy." Arnold and Berner. He wanted to quit then, but the crowd liked him and Insisted on his proceeding, but he got around It by calling for Reuben Arnold. '-‘t ran talk as long ns there is an Issue to discuss, but we have settled It all. I can't do much on dreaa pa rade," said Mr. Arnold. He got the gln<l hand In his brief speech, and re tired happy and smiling. R. L. Berner tried to hide when calls came for him. but he had to yield He disclaimed any connection with "the Rube Arnold and 8eab Wright gang." Mr. Berner referred to hla race of 1838 and said he was the worat run over man In the state. GREAT OVATION GIVEN IO HON. HOKE SMITH Rarely has a scene of such spontaneous and whole-hearted enthusi asm been witnessed as took place In the Macon auditorium when the committee came down the center aisle escorting Governor-elect Hoke Smith at S o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Though wearied by the long session and limp from the heat, the great audience electrified, leaped to Its feet, yelling, waving coats, hats, fans or papers. For a full three minutes that crashing wave of unre strained tribute to the man thundered about the building. And ns the man to whom this splendid meed of honor was being paid stood In the center of the stage, he showed plainly how profoundly moved he was. Perfectly calm, yet pale with emotion, he looked down on the seething mass of humanity and his great face lit almost to genialness. Finally, the tumult died away, and he began speaking, hla voice low, but penetrntfng with feeling. As he proceeded,, the volume of hla tones swelled until the deep-chested words searched every nook. It was a mas terly apeech. Shorn absolutely of rhetoric and catch phrase; It atunned almost with Its overpowering sincerity. The audience sat breathless, because they felt the tremendous power of the man and the terrible earn estness of his every word. Hoke Smith may make more eloquent speeches, but he will never de liver one that will Impress more profoundly with Its consecrated sin cerity.

STATE PRIMARY SUBMARINE VOLCANO STREWS BEACH WITH' SCALDED FISH Private Leased Wire. , , , Honolulu, Sept 5.—An earthquake shock of exceptional violence wa* 1 . nt Hilo Monday evening at 6:40 ’clock. Soon after the disturbance the beach was lined for mllea with dead fish that apparently had been »i’ald«l to death. This Is a very unusual phenomenon In connection with earthquake*. 11 Is regarded as showing conclusively that the disturbance waa a submarine volcanic eruption, and that It occurred within live miles of No donbt Is entertained by aclenllftc men In Honolulu that the center > Monday", disturbance waa very cloze to Hilo. The shock was not felt ■< Honolulu, he placed Hoke Smith for the' presidency, when the trine was ripe for the South to name the candi date. At thla time the platform committee came In and Chairman Gray read It amid profound silence. The platform, as adopted, Is printed In full elsewhere. First Fight Opened. The first struggle was opened when Dr. Goss, of DsKelb, arose to make a motion to have the section relative to primaries embrace congressional, state, senatorial and county electlona. That brought on the storm. Boykin Wright opposed taking away the direct rights of the counties to say how and when they would hold primaries for county officers. Dr. George Hlllyer favored the Idea of Dr. Goes. The row eddied and raged for half and hour, when Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, brought order out of chaos by moving to strike from the platform all reference to congressional, senatorial and county elections. It car. rled and stilled the tumult. Voted No on Platform. When the question of adopting the platform was put, Mr. McIntosh, of Pierce, thundered a "no." It was said that Mr. McIntosh had a grievance be cause the committee had choked off hla resolution to Indorse William Randolph iiearst for second place on the national ticket. The court of appeals matter caused the biggest rumpus of the meeting. All sorts of suggestions and Ideas were advanced. The resolution to have the convention called together again after ratification of the amendment met with hot opposition from Congressman Hardwick. He seld that a platform had Just been adopted doing away with convention nominations, yet the body waa turning right around and proposing to stultify Itself by Indorsing another one. Finally. Frank Copeland, of Floyd, checkmated the old business by mak ing a motion to table all the resolu tions relative to the court of appeals, and leaving It alone until the people had decided whether or not there waa to be a court of apppeals. It carried without a dissenting voice. The con vention Is simply on record as Indors ing the court of appeals. Crowd Impstisnt. The final stage of the day's pro ceedings were reached about 6 o’clock, when James L. Anderson arose to make the nominating speech. The crowd by now was very tired, and not of a humor to listen to anybody long, except Mr. Smith. Mr. Anderson was given close atten tion until near the dose of hla re marks, when cries for Smith, "cut It out," "that will be about enough," came One of the, surprises of the recent primary Is the feet thnt Hon.'

This Is In addition to the local tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent for school purposes, re cently- provided for by a vote of the people. This latter tax only applies to that part of the county outside of At lanta and the Incorporated suburbs. It waa thought by the finance com mlttee, of which Judge Rosser Is chairman, that the old rate would be sufficient to defray the expenses of the county, although more ' money will have to be spent next year than last. The Increase In the assessment will yield a large enough revenue, It Is thought, toe enable the county to meet Its obligations. The taxable values In Fulton county last year were 381,068,350 and for the year to come are 3(6,103,750, an In crease of 34,038,400, The state tax was recently reduced from 36-00 to 36.80 on the thousand. Fulton's state and county tax rate, therefore, Is 19.80 on the thousand. NAMEDJY BOARD Two Dozen Were Chosen Out of the 200 Ap plicants. State TrpmmnT—R. K. Dark.... ITiimii Couinilanlnner—<\ A.

The majority of the applicants got one or two votes In the committee. The report of the commute* was adopted unanimously. A meeting will be held Thursday afternoon at 6 o'clock to determine the location of the three stations to which the men will report.
