This was the judg ment of all the commissions of in quiry and had been proven a fact. Ev ery increase In the number of ships and every improvement In them had been the result of outside agitation. As the result of such agitation the British Mediterranean fleet was not a fourth stronger than a year ago.

Kennedy, a younger brother, was in the room and had his revolver drawn on Russell, but It was knocked out of his hand.

WIT WILL - VERDICT BE ♦ * IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT THE KANSAS CITY PLAT FORM WILL BE REPUDIATED, IT HAS HAD ITS DAY. LOCAL OPTION SEEMS TO BE SLATED FOR A PROMINENT PLACE IN THE PARTY’S DECLA RATION. j When the state convention meets on July 2d it is very probable, in fact almoslt a certainty that it will ignore the national democratic platform at Kansas City in 1900. Hon. B. S. Mil ler, of Muscogee, who is a delegate to the convention from his county an nounced at the eapitol yesterday, says the Atlanta Journal, that any ef fort to revive the Kansas City plat, form, so far as free silver and several other things were concerned, would be vigorously fought, and that as he un derstood it, anew platform, making new isfcues would be adopted. According to statements by Mr. Miller, he has conversed with many delegates to the convention and the consensus of opinion seemsl to be that the Georgia convention will rele gate free silver to the rear, come out, squarely for Cuba reciprocity, and oth er things of national importance. The policy of the national government in the Philippine islands will be condemned so it is said, though it is understood that some few of the dele gates So far named, favor com me ruing in part what the administration has done and it is being hinted that a res olution to that effect Will be intro duced in the convention. It is not thought that the putting of local option in the state platform will go through without a fight, although it is being strongly urged that the- late primary; settled the question forever in Georgia, and that to make a cer tainty of the matter the party should declare for local option. Many of the state eapitol officials are of the opinion that the free silver plank of the Kansas Citv platform should be left out of the state plat form, and that the new issues should be made. Chairman Ed. T. Brown, while declining to be interviewed on the subject favors leaving out the sil ver plank. There is much interest evinced in what the convention is go ing to do regarding a platform, and before the convention meets on the 2d of July it Is said a meeting of the leader* of the party will he held in Atlanta to outline a plan which will be submitted to the convention on the following day. Chairman Brown has not yet receiv ed the consolidated returns from all the counties in the state. He too re quests th'e executive committees send in the returns as fast aspossible as it is! now only a few days before the convention will be called to order. — I YESTERDAY’S SHIPPING RECORD.
