'W all those riinning on the Tillman platform
?seen to be running a successful race.

Tone o f the above is official, and was

may yary from these, but in the
we -hi uk they are correct
The glittering generalities of the Third
Party speakers in Georgia are giving way
before the bombardment of Democratic
facts and figures.
Hon. Wm. S. Holman points out to the
country that the appropriations of the 52d
Congress were reduced in the sum of
$33,529,291.98 as compared with the appro?
priations of the Tom Heed Congress. The
i record is one upon which the Democrats
: can have no fear in going before the peo
j pie. ^ ^ ^
The Iowa Democrats have put their
party in excellent condition to retain
power in that State. The State tioket is a
popular one and the platform is sonndly
Democratic. It indorses Cleveland and
Stevenson, favors tariff reform and de?
nounces the fanatical policy of the Rep ub
licans upon State issues.
The Rev. J. H. Gambrell, a Mississippi
Baptist minister who was nominated for
Congress by the people's party, has with?
drawn from the race and gives as his rea?
son the fear that he would be successful.
Here is something new under the sun?
a candidate who didn't want to be elect?
ed. _
When Mr. Cleveland left the White
House the treasury was full and running
over. Less thaa four years of Mr. Harri?
son's administration has passed and his
Secretary of the Treasury is wondering
how a deficit is going to be avoided. If
the people want the government admin?
istered economically they most give the
Democrats control of it.
'Tis whispered that tho ihr famed Billy
Mahone, of Virginia, ex-Democrat, ex
Readjuster and present Republican boss
of that State, has the sulks. He was
"agin" Harrison at Minneapolis and does
not see any good reason as yet for taking
I off his coat and making a fight in Virgin?
ia for the President. It is expected that
Virginia's majority for Cleveland will be
something phenominal.
A few days ago Senators Gorman and
Ransom asked the Editor of the New
York Sun to prepare an article on the
force bill, to form e part of the Democrat?
ic campaign book, giving the "origin,
history and character of that awful meas?
ure." The editor of the Sun at id that his
duties were so onerous that be had not
time to comply with the request. He
suggested that Senator Hill be asked to
write the article. He said he knew of no
one who could do the subject better jus?
tice. It is probable that the suggestion
will be acted upon.
There was a disastrous fire in Augusta
on Saturday last. Seven prominent bus?
iness concerns were burned out The.
losses amount to about $300,000, with in?
surance falling considerably under that
amount -The Chronicle was one of the
unfortunates. Its workmen stood to their
posts until nearly blistered by the beat,
and they succeeded in striking off the
whole oi the morning issue of their paper.
Augusta enterprise will* hastily rebuild
the burnt district. The Chronicle has not
missed an issue, and w]U continue to ap?
pear as if the flames had never touched
it '. , _
The Editor of the Advocate is more or
less of an "artful dodger." In the last
issue of that paper a long affidavit is
published from W. L. Snipes, which does
not touch the point in question. We
quote from that affidavit: "In reference
to the affidavit made by W. C. Cobb, p.
D. Wade and J. E. Adger, Jr., I say that
I never told them that I did not sign the
affidavit read by Go v. Tillman at Ander?
son." f ho important point is not' what
Snipes may have or may have, not "told"
some one, but Is this: Did Snipes sign
the affidavit read by Gov. Tillman, or
did he not? Why didn't Trial Justice
Russell have him to clear up that point?
The question whether a man can steal
from his wife was argued at length before
a Chicago judge a few days ago in the ha
beas-corpus proceedings brought by a
man confined in the County jail on a
charge of larceny preferred by his wife.
She claims that he stole two thousand two
hundred dollars from under her pillow
and left for Little Rock, Ark. He was
brought back and held to the Criminal
Court The man's attorney made the
claim that even if his client did take the
money he did not commit a crime, as a
man cannot steal from his .wife. The
court took the case under advisement
The North is glutted with money which
goes bagging at the lowest rate of interest.
Wherefore the Baltimore Sun asks, what
is the cause of scarcity at the South?
There is plenty of mbney in circulation,
but pending the cotton movement it
comes down here sparsely because there
is no demand for it If the South were,
bike the North, self-dependent, there
would be no distress. The Jacksonville
Times- Union says that "if a quarter of the
earnings of its peopte could be kept at
home there would be no complaint oi
general poverty, because the cause of its
impoverishment would no longer exist
This terrible drain must be checked be?
fore, the Southern people can ever ba
prosperous and contented*', and it must
be checked by themselves. They must
cease to be so absurdly dependent on the
North and West for almost every article
in use ._ _ _
On the testimony of President Smyth,
of Pelzer factory, W. C. Cobb boss weaver
in the same factory and P. D. Wade and
J. E. Adger, Jr., we pronounced the al?
leged Snipes affidavit read on the 13th
inst, to be false. We in no wise intima?
ted or thought that the Trial Justice be?
fore whom the affidavit was made was
guilty of the forgery. We stated that the
Editor of the Advocate "knows the affida?
vit is absolutely false" only after tha
proof was brought out to that end, and
we supposed bis mind was as susceptible
of conviction as any fair-minded man's,
and we have no hesitancy in saying that
any fair-minded man or Jury of men
would so pronounce it We still censure
that Editor for not exposing a fraud that
was so apparent, especially where be had
been imposed upon by the forger and
where the sole object was tP injure his
political opponents. The point we made on
him was that he should have the ?race
and grit to expose a fraud wherever ho
sees it. The wjaupported statement of
Snipes cannot be anything less in the
face of the testimony of Smyth, Cobb,
Wade and Adger? Is Advocate an?

The last few days havo generally /un?
proved the outlook for the cotton crop.
The best prospect, as heretofore, came
from Texas, where picking has begun
regularly in some sections, and where
one report says the crop ?rill be the lar?
gest for 10 years, despite decreased acre?
age. Needed rains have fallen in Arkan?
sas, where, alttiongh the crop is late, it
will be about as large as last year.. Theft?
is a better outlook in the Memphis dig- j
triot, where the lateness is the worst fault
of the crop. This is due aaoatly to the
recent floods. In Mississippi tfasre has
been too much rain, and some quarters
report the plant not fruiting as it shoulci. ;
In Louisiana there has been a cessation j
of the continuous rains, followed by
cloudy weather, which hasprevented rust
and shedding, ;so the aituation there t?
more cheerful. In South Carolina there {
is little change from the unfavorable can-'
ditions heretofore reported, which make I
the crop late and !poor. Reports of boll
worms are mote frequent than a week
ago, but they all say that their work will1
not do serious damage at any point. Cat?
erpillars are heard of in both Mississippi
and Alabama, but they have not done
much harm.
Big Fire In Augusta.
Augusta, Ga.. August 27.?A destruc?
tive fire occurred here at 2.30 this morn?
ing. The Alexander Drug and Seed
Company Store, Fleming ?fc Bowies' fur?
niture warehouse, E. D. Smythe's crock?
ery store, Harvey Hal's photograph gal?
lery, Jos. R. Lanier'fj law office, Thomas
& Barton's wholesale music and sewing
maohine store, the residence of Leroy
Miller and the Chronicle office were total?
ly destroyed. August A. Doar's clothing
house was Blightly damaged. The los3 is
roughly estimated at $400,000.
The entire morning edition of the
Chronicle was worked off while the
building was in flames. Everything was
wiped out in the shape of type and ma?
chinery. The flies of the paper from 1800
to date, and the subscription list books
were saved.
The insurance is about $300,000, very
generally distributed among companies
represented here.
Sad Death of Four Children.
Athens, Ga., August 26.?A story has
reached here from Madison County, tell?
ing of the sad death of the four children
of a family named Wilson in the short
space of forty minutes, three of them from
the bite of a rattlesnake and the other by
drowning.
The sua affair occurred a few days ago.
Mrs. Wilson went to a spring near the
house for water, taking the baby with
her. She had left the house but a short
time when screams attracted her attention
and hastening there found two of her
children dead and the third one sick.
The little fellow, however, was able to
talk, and said that they had poked their
fingers through a crack in the floor and
that a hen under the house had bitten
them.
Mrs. Wilson hurried back to the spring,
and there found that her little baby had
crawled into the spring and been drown?
ed. When the mother returned to the
house she found the little boy tuso dead.
Some time later, the father returned.
Search was made, and a huge rattlesnake
was found under the house and killed.
The Earth Trembled,
Gainesville/ Texas, August 2G.?
Throe powder magazines, belonging one
each to (be Dupont, Band <fc Nally, and
Hazzard Powder Company, blew up here
yesterday afternoon. There were about
600 kegs of powder in the magazines.
Lightning had been darting through (be
skies all the forenoon, and at 1 o'clock a
bolt struck one magazine, which explo?
ded, at once wiping the others from the
face of the earth. The concussion was
terriflf); the earth trembled and men, wo?
men and children rushed to the streets.
The shock broke hundreds of windows,
and in some instances ruined houses a
mile distant.. The explosion was heard at
Whiteboro, fifteen miles distant. Cattle
grazing near the magazines were killed
and terribly mangled. Every house
within a mile of the magazine was badly
damaged, and in many of them the in?
mates were thrown on the floor and seri?
ously injured. Half a dozen persons re
I ceived wounds from broken glass e,nd
I falling timbers. The loss will amount to
$15,000. ;
Matrimonial Infelicity in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., seems to be following in
the wake of Chicago in the divorce buai
iness. One day last week a long list of
suits for divorce were filed in the Superi?
or Court of Fulton County. Various cau?
ses are assigned by husbands and wives
why they should be granted total separa?
tion. In one case a husband alleges that
hSs wife frequently snbjeoted him to bru?
tal assaults. In another a wife charges
brutal treatment on the part of her hus?
band. The complainant in one suit shows
violent temper and constant abuse on the
part of a wife, refused to attend to the
household while the husband was at
work, and frequently on coming home
he found no meal ready for him. When
he cooked the dinner the wife threw the
dishes off the table. In another case the
husband treated the wife and mother of
his little girl with brutality. In a fit of
anger he strack her with a poker on the
head. At another time he pulled off her
clothes and tore into ribbons a new .-ilk
dress. Divorce is prayed for by a wife
on account of cruel treatment and be?
cause her husband compelled her to keep
a boarding bouse. In still other cases
cruelty, desertion, infidelity, and in one
case drunkenness are given as the reason
for divorce.
150 Men Engulfed.
? London, August 26.?A fearful mining
accident occurred this morning at the
Parkslip Coal Pit, near Bridgend. a min?
ing town in Glamorganshire, Wales.
The day shift of miners had not been
long in the mine before a most terrible
explosion was hoard. The day shift com?
prised 150 men and their relatives and
friends rushed to the pit mouth to learn
the extent of the disaster.
The explosion had caused the earth and
rock to fall and the mouth of the pit was
closed. Not a single man of the one hun?
dred and fifty in the mine had made his
escape, and it is feared that there has been
great loss of life.
Hundreds of miners in the vicinity
1 have volunteered their services and the
i work of clearing the pit's mouth is being
pursued as rapidly as circumstances will
permit
All around the pit are gathered! women
and ohildren hoping for the best yet ex
Eecting the worst The mine officials
old out that hope is possible, but they
fail to make the mothers and wives be?
lieve that there is much hope.
No Sob them Man Can Favor the Force
Bill.
Any man in any Southern State who
should knowingly lend his support, di
i rectly or indirectly, to the Lodge force
I bill would not dare to look an honest
woman in the face, and honest men would
1 regard him with scorn. It is the very na
; tu re of things that such should be the case.
? From an experience in some of the States
more terrible than that of the war, and
from traditions which curdle the blood of
rising generations, nothing imaginable
could be so dreadful to the white men and
j women of the South as negro domination.
There is not even an honest negro in the
' the Sou th who baa acquired an interest in
i the soil and has a family to look after
i who would not dread it The friends of
Mr. Cleveland in the Northern States

A Deadly ffovelty.
According to a morning contemporary,
says the London Daily Telegraph, the ni?
hilists iu London, who are more highly
educated in the application of chemistry
to the manufacture of explosives than any
other body of a similar kind, have re?
cently perfected a new infernal machine,
which promises to revolutionize existing
method? .of committing dynamite outra?
ges. The leading peculiarity of the im?
provement is that it has neither clock?
work nor fuse, and has merely to be turn?
ed upside down in order to go off at a fix?
ed number of minutes after jt has been
Elaced in position. Externally the bomb
i only of the dimensions of an ordinarv
yellow-backed novel. It 1b filled with an
explosive powder of immense strength,
but contains no dynamite, The detonator,
which is placed in the middle of the
shell, is a marvel of misplaced in<jefiui
ty
It consists of a small glass receptable,
half filled with a liquid chemical. Pass?
ing upward from this thro ugh the cork is
a tube, - rice whioh are stuck at intervals
pads of blotting paper, and on the last of
these rents a small ?ump of a detonating
substance, which is in contact with a
quantity of the new explosive. The mo?
ment one drop of the liquid .qomes in
I contact with the substance in question, an
explosion occurs. In order Co produce.
the .desired effect the machine is turned
npside .down, and the liquid passing into
the tube slowly filters through the sever?
al pieces of blotting naper, and finally
reaches ilw detonator.' The mechaninm
of the bomb is so simpj? ?b*t it is almost
impossible for it to get out of Ofr?er. To
regulate the .time at which the .apparatus
is to explode, the "dynamiter" has .only
0 increase or diminish the number'of I
pads of blotting paper and thus a^lerate i
or retard the passage of the liquid through
the tube, .Should the owner alter bis
mind after placing the machine in posi?
tion he has merely ?o turn it again, thus

top to the bottom, and fije ,"bomb" can

Yandex-bill's Mountain Palace.
Skyland Sp?inqs, N. C.f August 23.?
About two miles from Asheville is Hilt
more, the railroad station of George W.
Vanderbilt's estate, (so called from tbe
last syllable of his namoand his mother's
maiden name.) It is necessary to secure
a permit to enter tbe grounds loading to
the mountain heights on which is rising
tbe foundation walls of what will be the
most beautiful palatial residence on this
continent, perhaps in the world.
The drive from the station over the
mountains to the building point is about
four miles, and on every Hide appear evi?
dences of the mighty creation arising. In
tbe midst of the grandest mountain
scenery, exquisite water views, and falls
and cascades of tbe Swan nan oa and
French Broad rivers, which divide the
estate in three parts, workmen are seen
in every direction clearing the under?
brush and improving tbe roadway, while
the incessant rush of the dummy train
carrying material up the mountain slope
adds animation to the scene. The waste
lands are being redeemed and placed
under the highest cultivatibn; nurse?
ries of imported trees and plants of foreign
soil, and of native growth, though
not indigenious to this locality, are being
carefully nurtured, in the hope that they
will grow and multiply and take kindly
to this favored land, which tbe heart and
fortune of a Vanderbilt is making glad,
and to blossom like the rose.
Sixty miles of road may traverse tbe
estate, while on the borders, over hills
and mountains, is a drive twenty-five
miles long, not a pleasure drive yet?and
one over which the owner does not ven?
ture himself. He has his own well gra?
ded private carriage road from Biltmore
to his entrance grounds, but . from which
Soor ordinary mortals are rigidly exclu
ed.
Beaching the mountain base it is neces
sary to make tbe ascent on foot From
there is seen the first indications of the
approach to tbe mansion grounds prop
er?tbe massive granite entrance way
Bcarcely completed; but which prepares
one to imagine that the structure may
develop into a moat and drawbridge to
enchanted land. For on one side large
numbers of negro bands are felling?trees
and uprooting the accumulated brush of
centuries, to transform tbe dense wilder?
ness into an enormous artificial lake, ex?
tending to the stocked deer park.
Continuing the steep incline, gradually
is reached the foundations of the build?
ings rising in grand proportions, but at
this stage of progress giving only a vague
idea of immense intentions. The founda?
tion walls, 7 J feet thick, are resting deep?
ly on the everlasting hills, and are sure?
ly being built for time and eternity. The
walls of the tennis court and polo ground
now rise 45 feet above the mountain level,
and from its battlemeots will command
one of the most magnificent, unobstruct?
ed views of tho surrounding country.
The statement varies that the cost of this
building alone will: be. from $150,000 to
8300,000. The house proper will occupy
two acres, and will be 375 feet long by 102
feet wide, not including the stables and
terraces, whioh will be 50 feet from the
main house, and cover a space of 320 by
140 feet. There will be 120 rooms in the
mansion, and the window garden will be
tbe largest in this country, and this will
not include the plant and flower nurse?
ries.
Before a line could be drawn for the
Elan of this edifice immense sums had
een expended gatheringVMdeas from the
old country, by studies of structures of.
the past and present centuries, and by a'
combination of styles the palace wbon
completed will rise an architectural
wonder of tbe French fifteenth century
type, with every modern improvement of |
the twentieth. Electric lights already
illuminate the place, rendering it an at?
tractive and rare sight as it is passed at
nightfall.
Light yellow Bedford limestone will be
the building material: every stone of |
which is brought from Indiana. A large
body of skilled masons are now on the
ground preparing the stone. The number
of workmen employed on the estate va?
ries from 600 to 900; and the mouthy pay
roll is about'850,000, whioh does not in?
clude tbe salaries of the superintendents
of tbe various departments, tbe engineer
corps and draughtsmen. Tbe entire estate
comprises over 10,000 acres, for which
8000,000 was paid.
It is estimated tbat in five years tbe
edifice will be finished, but it will be two
years or more before the furnishers and
decorators will pronounce it ready for oc?
cupation. And then a vmall army of re?
tainers will be needed to keep up the or?
der and standard of tbe establishment,
while for the retinue of gamekeepers,
florists, botanists and their subordinates,
rent and vegetables free, will be con?
structed.
When the home of George W. Vander?
bilt is declared completed, upon its high
elevation of nearly three thousand feet
above the sea level, rendering it, accord?
ing to medical authority, the most healthy
locality upon the earth, what a "Mecca"
this region will be to sight-seers in our
own land, and from across tbe seas, to be?
hold the beauty and glory of unrivalled
mountain scenery surrounding this crea?
tion of inventive genius and engineering
skill, hewing down into the deep rocks
and rifling in magnitude and wonder a
monument of the mighty power of un?
limited wealth to carry out to the highest
degree of perfection every artistic design
and oonceptiori'.?Correspondence of Newt

Calhodn, Ga., August 23.?Mr. j. H.
Boff, a pleasuro seeker from Calhoun,
who is spending a while in the Cohutta
mountains, experienced an adventure

which he will never be likely to forget
He was roaming across tbat high moun?
tain tbe other day, weaponless?never
dreaming of the bear-haunted, dangerous
ground be was treading; but, from that
lofty height, was viewing with poetic ad?
miration, the little valleys and scattering
farmhouses far, far below him. Sudden?
ly tbe popping of twigs reached tho ears
of Mr. Boff, and, instantly looking up, he
was horrified to behold, only a few yards
away, a huge black bear. No knife, no
pistol?nothing had Mr. Boff. save a cor?
net, which he had brought along to give i
comfort when he should become tired of |
wandering and sit down to rest. When
Mr. Boff saw this animal, he knew tbat,
being unarmed, there was nothing to do
but try to escape, and with a few leaps he
reached a tree several feet away.
It was a fearful moment. Mr. Boff had
no more than succeeded in reaching the
first limb than he saw tbe fearful beast
making towards tbe tree. With the agil?
ity of a cat, the frightened man wont
springing higher up tbe tree until the top
was reached, apd then he looked down
only to see the bear coming slowly up.
There is an old saying about music
having charms to soothe tbe savage
beast. Mr. Boff thought of it, and he
commenced to blow fearful blasts on his
cornet. Whether tbe bear thought this
was the signal for the dogs or not, certain
it is the cornet had a soothing effect ,* the
animal paused, listened a few moments
and then scampered on* into the swamp,

Unique Organization of Negroes Form?

Rome, Ga., August 24.?Quite a stir has
been created among the negroes of Rome
by the organization of a society calling it?

object the breaking up of the negro ser?

The members of tbe Society want their
people to abandon servant work for the
whites, and in order to accomplish this
tbey propose to have nothing whatever to
do with those who do servant work for
the whites.
The announcement of such a society
has created great indignation among the

Cleveland's Plain English.
Chattaitooga, Tenn., August 26.?
Michael Shelley, a merchant in this city,
got into a discussion recently on national
politics with a Republican neighbor, who
asserted that "during Cleveland's admin?
istration he (Cleveland) permitted Land
Commissioner W. J. Sparks to tarn out
20,000 families from their homes in Min?
nesota and other Northwestern States."
Mr. Shelley addressed a letter to Mr.
Cleveland on the subject and received the
following reply to-day:
Grat Gabees, Buzzard's Bay, Mass.,
August 22.?(Personal.)?Mr. Shelley,
Chattanooga, Tenn.?My Dear Sir: Your
letter of the 12th inst., is at hand. In re
{>ly I have to say that I have not the least
dea what "your worthy friend" meant
when he declared that "I had been the
medium through which 20,000 families
were made homeless, and had lost their
all fighting for their rights."
I am perfectly well aware that I have
been the means of saving some homes to
my countrymen, and have tried very
hard to make the burden of their lives
easier. I am amazed at receiving from
the Southern country a letter containing
charges like that which you bring to my
attention. I am surprised, first, at the
ingenuity necessary for their concoction
without the semblance of foundation. I
am more amazed that with my record
before tbe people of this country such
baseless lies should be deemed sufficient
arguments to prejudice me, and the cause
which I for the time being represent, in
the minds of the Southern people.
Very truly yours,
Grover Cleveland.

Riuht Hand and Left,
This curious little extract, which reads
somewhat like a riddle, comes from a let?
ter written by Dr. Franklin to the Ameri?
can museum. The learned doctor is
Bpeaking on a subject about which there
is a great diversity of opinion. He is
arguing the cause of the left hand, and
contends that she is entitled to equal con?
sideration with the right, That she ought
to be equally instructed, in order that if
anything should happen to her sister she
might be as competent for useful employ -
ment as the right hand would be if de?
prived of the assistance of the left:
"There are two sisters of us. and the
two eyes of man do not resemole nor are
capable of being on better terms with
each other than my sister and myself,
but for the partiality of our parents, who
make top 'most injurious distinctions
between us.' Fropir my infancy I have
been led to consider my sister as a 1]eing
of more elevated rank. Nothing ws'n
?pared in her education, while I was
suffered to grow up without the least
instruction. She had masters to teach i
her writing, drawing and other accom- 1
plishments; bat if by chance I touched a
pencil, a pen or a needle I was bitterly
rebuked, and more than once I have
been beaten for being awkward and
wanting a graceful manner. It is true
my sister associated me with her upon
some occasions, but ehe always made it a
point of taking the lead, calling upon me
only from necessity or f*> figure at her
side."

place with the right, and, for rnany reasr

Remarkable Surgery,
Chicago, Aug. 24 ?Surgeons E. W.
Andrews and C. W. Crary of the medical
board of pension examiners have per?
formed a remarkable surgical operation
on Maj. O. C. Towne, a veteran living at
ArgylePark. He has been confined to
his bed for nearly a year from an abscess
in his right lung. Two months ago the
abscess was cut and drained. His con?
dition became worse. Last Sunday Dr.
Andrews determined upon another oper?
ation. He opened the lung cavity for the
better draining of the diseased spot. Af?
ter tbe incision was made almost the en?
tire lung was found to be affected, and so
four ribs were removed. In tbe cavity
was found a quantity of stony substance.
Borne of tbe pieces as largo and as bard
as marbles. The walls of the cavity were
petrified. The patient is now feeling
better than in weeks. The pbysioian says
the case is tbe most remarkable one he
ever handled. Nothing similar has ever
been reported in medicine. They look
for the major's recovery.
Trans-Continental Cyclists^
Charleston, S. C, August 29.?The
bicycle world of Charleston is stirred up
by a trans-continental trip on wheels,
which is scheduled to start from the bat?
tery here at 4 o'clock to-morrow morning.
The tourists are William H. Caldwell,
the well known athlete of Columbia, S.
C, and Mr. William A. Wynne, baseball
pitcher, athlete and champion contortion
bicyclist of the world, from Raleigh, N.
C. They have for some time past con?
templated a trip from Charleston to San
Francisco on their wheels, but have been
delayed thus far by a combination of
small accidents. Their wheels have been
in America only fourteon days, being the
finest bycycles made. They are pneu?
matic tire, swift racers, mado in Coven?
try, England, and weigh, whan stripped,
just thirty-two pounds each.
The two Williams, as they will be
known on their long trip, will attempt
something tbat has never been done
before. A short time ago an adventurous
cyclist rode from San Francisco to New
York, but mado it by easy stages. These
young gentlemen will leaveSouth Battery
at 4 o'clock to-morrow morning for the
trip across tho oontinent to the Golden
Gate. They will follow the line of rail?
road as much as possible and hope to
reach the Pacific in seventy days. They
will go from here to Augusta, thence to
Atlanta, Decatur, Ala., and Memphis.
Beyond Memphis the exact route is not
yet determined, but it will be through
Arkansas, the Indian Territory, the Pan?
handle of Texas, Arizona, New? Mexico
and Lower California. The southern
route was chosen to avoid, as much as
Sossible. the extreme cold of the Rocky
fountain passes.
The cyclists expect to meet somewhere
about Atlanta the female pedestrian, who
is now on her long walk from New York
to San Francisco by way of New Orleans.
Two hundred wheelmen of this city will
escort the tourists ten miles on thoir
journey.
The Democratic House.
Washington, August 24.?That the
present large Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives will be reduced
in the next Congress has long been the
cry of the Republicans. The basis of
this declaration is the fact that in ninety
Congressional districts which have usu?
ally been carried by Republicans tbe
Democratic majority in 1890 ranged from
10 to 300 votes. Tbe Republican mana?
gers have claimed tbat it would be im?
possible for the Democrats to retain
many of these in a Presidential year.
Now that the campaign has warmed up
to a considerable extent, the probability
of a reduction of the Democratic majority
in Congress seems to lessen. Some ad?
vantages will accrue to the Republicans
by reason of tbe gerrymander in Ohio.
The present Congressional delegation
from tbat State stands 14 Democrats to 7
Republicans. Tbe last General Assem?
bly of Ohio so redistricted the State that
the Republicans believed that they would
be able to carry sixteen out of the twenty
one districts. A day or two ago, on his
return from Ohio, Secretary Charles
Foster predicted that only fifteen districts
would so carried, which would indicate
that the gerrymander is not quite so
effective as it was intended to be.
The district represented by Michael D.
Harter was changed with the idea of
making his return impossible, but tbe
advices coming from that district at thi*
time are to tbe effect that he will carry it.
The ninety districts which were carried
two years ago by the Democrats in tbe
face of so-called Republican majorities
were generally carried on tbe square
issue of tariff reform. The records of tbe
Democratic Congressional campaign com?
mittee in this city show tbat a very large
percentage of these new members are
being renominated, and tbat tbe demand
for tariff reform literature from these
sections is increasing. The renomination
of Mr. Cleveland has given the issue of
tariff reform greater strength tban it had
two years ago in those districts. While
the Republicans may gain a few seats by
reason of the Ohio gerrymander and tbe
fact that the representation in Pennsyl?
vania and a few other States had been
increased, the committee believes that in
the West and Northwest some half dozen
districts will be captured which have
heretofore been uniformly Republican.?

? The crowd which will be in attend?
ance at the dedication of the World's

immense one. The manufacturers' build?

It will be impossible, however to pat
that many in during the dedicatory
service*. No man can make his voice
heard to more than twenty-five thou?
sand people at one time, and so not more
than tbat number will be admitted to the
building. On tbe day of the dedication
no charge will be made for entrance to
the park. On the other day an admission
fee of fifty cents will be charged. The
date of the dedication is fixed by joint
resolution of Congress for October 21, and
President Harrison has accordingly of?
ficially announced that date.
