Will Preseat Sword Awarded Bis Flag
Ueateaaat Bj Georgians.
A Washington special says: Admi
ral Dewey has accepted tha invitation
| r of the citizens of Atlanta, Oa., to par
ticipate in the ceremonies attending
the presentation of the sword to Flag
Lientenant Brumby.
Tha invitation was formally tender
ed to the heso of Manila Saturday by
a delegation ef prominent citizens,
and a prompt and gracious aeceptauce
was immediately announced.
Accompanied by Itapresentative Lon
Livingaton, tha delegation called npon
Admiral Deway, at the McLean resi
dence. The i£tor T i* w had been pre
viously arranged through Lieutenant
Brnmby, hence the Georgians received
an extremely cordial greeting from the
admiral. The reception took place in
the parlor, whioh was beautifully dec
orated with flowers, potted plants and
the national colors.
These little formalities having been
completed. Mayor Woodward who was
one of the committee, stepped to the
front and in the name of the .pilfzens
of Atlanta, indeed in the naue of all
the people in ,#1* itfcte of Georgia, in-
lU liltf'Sfhilh'tfh’fO Vlailf Atlanta and
witness the presentation of a sword to
Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood
ward went on to say how proud the
people of Georgia are to claim Lieu
tenant Brnmby as their own, and he
informed the Admiral that a hand
some sword had been procured by
popular subscription to be presented
to Lientenaut Brnmby.
The admiral at that point inter-
rupted the mayor to say that he had
seen it stated that the people of Geor-
*ram, so as to place the admiral in the
picture and give him a conspicuous
part to play in the ceremonies attend
ing the presentation of the sword.
On the steps of the capitol at Wash
ington, it was deemed a high honor
for Admiral Dewey to receive the na
tion’s sword from the president of the
United States. At Atlanta it will be
an equal honor for Lieutenant Brnmby
to receive Georgia’s sword from the
bands of the nation’s hero, Admiral
Dewey. The suggestion was promptly
acted upon, and the programme will
be arranged on that basis.
Admiral Dewey stated that his de
sire to show his personal appreciation
and friendship for Lientenant Brumby
was a sufficient inducement to him to
visit Atlanta on the occasion of the
sword presentation, but added to that,
his desire to recognize in his humble
way the glorious part the men of the
south have played in th« war with
Spain.
He then referred with deep feeling
to the recent deaths of Naval Cadet
Wood of Georgia, and Lieutenant
Commander Kldridge, of Alabama,two
brilliant young officers of the navy,
who lost their lives at Manila.
ORDERS ISSUED
gl. intended to Lioiiten.t Brum-! ^ effort , ot A , lsQla Ira8inos ,
by a sword, and he desired to say that
gallant young officer was worthy of
any honor or distinction his frisnds or
his oonntry might sea flt to bestow
upon him.
This high testimonial to Lieutenant
Brnmbv was made with so mnch sin-
eerity that it deeply Impressed the mem-
of**tho delegation, and their ad-
ition of the admiral was increased
irdingly. The admiral took occa-
t© say that he not only appreciated
»e val
lint Brumby, o
l*fhe noble and
played by the representatives*of t
southern states, in* the army rfhd navy
during the war with Spain.
Ha said he knew how bravely the
southern men rushed to the support of
the nation’s honor and shared the glo
ries of victory with their northern
brethren and thns wiped out all traces
. of Sectionalism. The admiral’s atten
tion- was called to the fact that Geor-
sent more men into the United
States service to battle against Spain
than any other etate in the nnion.
The admiral replied that the infor
mation was intensely gratifying to him
and it made him all the more anxious
to visit Georgia and personally show
his appreciation of the valor and
patriotism of the southern people.
Turning to Lientenant Brumby, the
admiral said: ‘‘Brnmby, we have but
two engagements ahead—one in Chi
cago and one in Philadelphia.”
Brnmby replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the admiral delighted his
visitors by saying:
“Well, gentlemen, you may count
on me being present to see Brumby
, get his sword.”
He said he conld not state definitely
when it would be convenient for him
to visit Atlanta, owing to an aegage-
ment he has with the president and
4fce members of the Philippine com-
^^^^ssion, soon after- the president re-
"^^rns from hie western tour.
His acceptance, with that qnalifica-
tion, was entirely satisfactory to the
delegation, and the details of the visit
were farther discussed.
The admiral evinced such a warm
personal regard for Lieutenant Brum
by throughout the interview that a
change was made in the original pro-
At Washington For Discontinu
ance of Department of
the Gulf.
An Atlanta ^fj^pajeh says: The
acting commantfef^pcft the department
of the gulf, Cofbnel John Simpson,
received Saturday from Washington
the official order of the war department
discontinuing the department of the
gulf and transferring the headquarters
to Governor’s Island.
From the nature of the order it is
regarded as evident by the officers of
the department that the mind of the
president has been made up, and that
men
will bring no satisfactory result. The
order states that the change is made
by direction of the president, and is
signed by the secretory of war, thr
commanding general and the adjutant
general of the army.
Colonel Simpson stated that he wa
in no way acquainted with
of the war depfpfenHstiiS'^^iscontinaing
the department of the fjulf, but .sup
posed thaj Atlanta had been made the
headquarters on the outbreak of the
tfoount of its central location
torongh (connection with the
orrm^ni seacoast towns. With the
end there w4s nothing k>
accomplish by the continuance of the
department.
CHAIRHAN JONES HOPEFUL.
Says Bryan WiM Not Only Be Nom
inated But Elected.
United States Senator James K.*
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and
wife, were passengers on the Canard
line steamship Lucania that reached
New York Sunday. They have been
traveling in England, Ireland, Scot
land, Switzerland and "Wales for sev
eral months. Senator Jones said that
he had been much benefited by hife
lengthy European travels, and felt
ready to go into the hard work neces
sary in getting ready for the presiden
tial campaign.
Senator Jones, when asked to give
his views on the political sitnatlon,
said that, owing to his long absence
abroad, he was not as fully informed
as to political conditions as he hoped
to be in a few weeks. When asked
bis opinion as to the probability of the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency going to William J. Bryan, he
said:
“There is no doubt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic nomination for
president,’’and added: “Has anybody
any doubt on that question? Bryan is
sure to win.”
PROSPECTS OF PE\CE.
Latest Advices Indicate That Boers
flay Yet Yield.
A London dispatch says: Most im
portant news from the Transvaal was
received Saturday night, whkb, if
true, probably indicates that the South
African republic is about to, yield, or
any in case, that the Boers have |
abandoned all idea of invading Natal. ;
The news is comprised in a cable
gram from Newcastle, Natal, which
says that farmers who arrived there
from the Buffalo river state that the
Boers are returning to their homes,
leaving patrols along the river. The
commanders will remain on the Free
State border.

Admiral Airbed President McKinley
Tkat SHaation In Philippines De*
maaded Aggressive Action.
A Washington special says: The
president, Wednesday directed the
immediate dispatch to the Philippines
of a number of vessels of the navy, in
cluding the erniser Brooklyn and gun
boats Marietta and Macbias. The ac
tion is the resalt of Admiral Dewey's
interview, in which he went over the
Philippine situation with the presi
dent.
The orders given are in line with
the expressed determination of the
president to fnrnish the army and
nary every resource for stamping out
the Philippine insurrection at the
earliest possible time.
At Admiral Dewey’s extended in
terview with the president the former
went into the Philippine situation at
great length, explaining carefully the
existing condition of %fiairs and his
views of the outlook, <g(iipluding with
an earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels be
sent at once to the Philippines.
The re-enforcement of the present
fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged
as necessary and said their dispatch
should be directed as early as possible.
The president immediately communi
cated with the navy department and
instructed the secretary of the navy to
issue an order carrying out the ad
miral’s recommendation and to see
that they be got in readiness at once.
The Marietta and Macbias, besides the
Brooklvn, will be designated by the
navy department along with several
other vessels which have not yet been
selected
^^Srooklyfl^M now with the other
vessels of the NoHh Atlantic squadroa
off Tompkinsville, iptaten Island. The
Machias and the Marietta are at pres
ent on waiting orders. These re-en-'*
forcercyonts will and considerable
strength to the Asiatic squadron and
the adyninistration belfeyes their pres
ence will have a material effect in
pediting the end of the Hostilities.
The Brooklyn is an armored cruiser,
of the first rating, carrying twenty
main battery gnus and having a total
displacement of 9,215 tons, and is so
well thought of by Rear Admiral
Schley that he desired that she be as
signed as his flagship in the new
.south Atlantic squadron.
The Marietta is a composite gun
boat of 1,000 tons displacement and
with a main battery equipment of six
guns.
The Machias, with a displacement of
1,177 tons, carries a battery of eight
guns. Their commanders are all vet
erans of long experience in the ser
vice. The Brooklyn is commanded by
Captain Theodore F. Jewell, who has
seen fourteen years of sea service and
mnch more than that on shore sta
tions; the Machias by Lieutenant Com
mander Leavitt C. Logan, with fifteen
years of sea service, and the Marietta
by Lieutenant Commander Edward
H. Gheen, whose record shows seven
teen years of sea service.
The Brooklyn’s formidable equip
ment will make her of invaluable gen
eral service, while the Marietta and
the Machias are expected to be of
much usefulness in the numerous
shallow waters about the archipelago
where larger craft cannot go.
It is not known how soon these
vessels can be ready, but their orders
are to get away as early as possible,
and no delay is anticipated. Their
commanders will report to the depart
ment when they are ready to proceed
and on arriving at Manila will report
without delay to the admiral com
manding, the Asiatic station, for or

DOUTHIT MAKES DEflAND.
Carolina Dispensary 0lsn Asks Publie
to Suspend Judgment.
A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says:
Tuesday’s revelations in the dispensa
ry board of control continne to be the
subject of mnch interest. Commis
sioner Donthit, who was so sammari-
ly removed from office, asks the pub
lic to suspend judgement until he has
an opportunity to prepare his ease.
He complains that he was expected to
refute in fifteen minuters the state
ments and charges of the examining
committee. ,
Cannon boomed and bands preyed
“Dixie” as President McKinley alight
ed from the Campania, his private car
at the grounds of the Illinois Soldiers
home at Quincy Friday morning. The
sun shone brightly, making almost a
perfect day. Fifteen hundred old vet
erans, inmates of the home, cheered
enthusiastically as the president and
the members of the cabinet took car
riages to be driven between long
platoons of soldiers around the beau
tiful grounds of the home.
The president was first escorted to
an improvised platform, from which
he bowed and smiled in acknowledg
ment of the vetexans’ greeting, shak
ing hands with as many as possible.
Then, in company with members of
the local committee, the president
made a short visit to the Soldiers’
hospital. The presidential party was
next driven from the Soldiers’ home
to the city proper, a distance of two
miles. Company F, Fifth infantry,
the naval reserves and Company F,
Eighth Illinois infantry, escorted the
party through the business district.
The sailors were supplied with
Hotchkiss guns, and as soon as the
president arrived in sight of the pub
lic square a president’s salute of twen
ty-one guns was fired. Six thousand
school children from all the schools of
the city, public and parochial, were
massed on the east side of the court
house, waving flags and singing na
tional airs as the president appeared.
McKinley’s Address.
The president and several members
of the cabinet delivered brief addresses
from the reviewing stand. The presi
dent said:
“I thank yon one and all for this
patriotic welcome. It has given me
uncommon pleasure to meet thj^
ing at the Soldiers’ .tTonie/ the men of
^-^WYifffferans who stood in the
‘trenches and benind the guns in that
year of great emergency when the life
of the nation huqg in the balance. It

one of the gallant yonng officers
who fought with Dewey in Manila
bay. This i#an ora of patriotism, my
countrymen.
“The United States has never been
lacking in gratitude to its soldiers and
its sailors who have fought in its
cause, and the. cause of the United
States has never lacked defenders in
every crisis of its history. From the
revolutionary days to the present, the
citizens of tho United States have
been ever ready to nphold at any cost
the flag and the honor of the nation
and to take all the responsibility
which comes from a righteous canse.
There are responsibilities born to
duty, that can never be repudiated.
Duty unperformed is dishonor and
dishonor brings shame which is heavi
er to carry than any harden which
honor can impose.
“My fellow citizens, I thank yon
for this more than gracious welcome
and bid you all good morning.”
Secretary Root Speaks.
Secretary Root spoke as follows:
“Fellow Oitizens of Illinois: My
humble duty during the last two
months is to do what yon are doing
here today by the encouragement and
inspiration of your presence, holding
up the hands, strengthening the soul,
and cheering the courage of the presi
dent, the chief magistrate of your be
loved country, in maintaining its
honor and doing its full duty before
God and man on the great stage of
the world. It is

ship, no factionalism, in the business
in which we are engaged in, helping
President McKinley.
“No man can shelter himself under
the flag of party or justify himself by
any declaration of principle in failing
i 7^^iihr»Td behind the men of all parties
and all creeds who lie today in the
trenches in Luzon.
“No man who knows his dnty and
is a |rue American will fail to do it. I
havf no fear, no question whatever,
that in the days and nights that the
secretary of war is giving to seeing
that tbs army of the United States is
the best fed, best equipped and best
armed army the world has ever seen,
tae sympathy and the support of the
people of Quincy, of Illinois, of the
country, will be behind him and be
hind the president.
“The cause in which year soldiers
are fighting and in whioh yon, Demo
crats and Republicans alike, stand be
hind them, is the canse of civilization
and of peace. The men behind the
guns in Manila today are in front of
the soboolbonse, of law and order and
will be followed by the men with their
text book and Bible, bringing the arts
of civilization, respect for law and
order, and the welfare ©f conntry. No
government can live for self alone, nor
grow to fnll stature by the exercise of
selfishness. No men and no party of
men can be bound to the performance
of a mission of the great republic for
the regeneration and elevation of man
kind. It is following today as it has
followed in the past, the lines marked
out by a Providence snpericr to the
wisdom of presidents and of legisla
tures, pointing the way of the great
march of civilization.
“My friends of the city of Quincy
and of the state of Illinois, the presi-
deat of the United States will be faith
