SENATOR LODGE HAS A SCHEME
and one dentil—Cecilia Carrollton
avenue and Oak street.
The increase in the number of cases
continues to oauso no alarm, owing to
the mild type of the latest cases.
A large consignment of chlorinated
lime has been received and a depot has
been established in eacli of the seven
districts of the city for its gratuitous
distribution. The city, in some parts,
looks as if u had been struck by a snow
storm. so widespread has been the use
of lime on the streets and in the gutters.
Dr. Weedou of Tampa, Fia., lias ar
rived here and reported to Dr. Carter
of the marine hospital service. Dr.
Weedon will inspect freights that go
from here to Florida by w’uter route.

Nkw York, Oct. 5.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Boston says:
“I look upon the annexation of the
llawaiiHii islands as practically accom
plished.” said Senator Lodge. “The
treaty will be taken up at once when
congress assembles in December and 1
think there is an easy majority m the
senate in favor of its ratification. If it
should appear probabie that an opposi
tion is developing sufficient to defeat
ratification the remedy will be very
simple. There is a joint resolution of
annexation of the islands on tho cal
endar, which does not require a two-
thirds majority, n« is the case in Mm
vote for rutiflcattou of u treaty. A sim
ple majority in both houses will accom
plish me same result, and thu; majority
we have oa.-iiy. If it appears probable
that ratification may fail we sliifll sim
ply slip in the resolution and act upon
that in place of tne treaty.”
“What are your views as to a form of
government for die islands after annex
ation ?” was asked.
“It is settled that w F e do not care to
admit Hawaii as a state in the Uniou.
Some form of territorial government
must be adopted, but exactly what it
should be is not yet wholly dear. I am
inclined to think we should give Hawaii
a term of government rather broader
than the ordinary territorial govern
ment. For example, I should give tho
isianders power to continue their legis
lative body in two brandies, whereas, I
believe, a territory lias merely' a single
house. A legislature in two houses will
give them a government similar to our
states, but they will not have the power
to elect senators in congress. The system
of federal courts must, of course, be ex
tended to the islaiqis, with district and
circuit judges. The local courts may
be retained as the people themselves de
sire.”
“Yon would have the governor ap
pointed by the president?”
•‘Certainly; precisely as the govern
ors of territories are appointed. Ishou.d
prefer, if I were to express a preier-
ence, that the governor bo appointed
from the islands.
“The question of suffrage should be
left to the government of the islands f:i
adjust as seems to it. best, within the
limits of the constitution of Tie U’.’it.'d
States, beyond which no state or ton;-
tory can go. Before Chii.stmas I cer
tainly expect that Hawaii wiil he Amer
ican temtorv. ”

Columbia, S. 0., Oct. 5. — S. T. Leon
ard, with his wife and young child,
were going into North inlet, near
Georgetown, when their small boat
struck n shoal and capsized. The
mother, holding on to her baby, was
recovered by her husband. A second
wave, however, released their hold on
the regained bout and for a second time
the mother with her child was washed
away.
Weak from struggling with the waves,
the anxious husband and father once
again rescued his wife ami child, but
the mother’s strength completely fail
ing her, she kissed her baby and snr-
remiered it to the next wave that en
gulfed them.
Her husbaud reached her again for
the fourth time, rfhe clasped him
around the neck, kissed IT in and sank
into unconsciousness as the next swell
cf the sea separated her from mm and
Carried her into its depths.
Mr. Leonard reached the beach in an
exhausted state and was the next morn
ing picked up and carried to the oppo
site shore and thence to his home. The
body of the infant only was recovered.

DaLTON, Gi.. Oct’S.—At the opening
session of tho Whitfield superior court
Judge Fite delivered a sensational
charge to the grand jury. Contrary to
the usual eastern, he touched upon cer
tain specific crimes in his charge and
t’.welt at soius length on the car robbe
ries winch have been so universally
talked of throughout Georgia.
Judge Fite stated that rumor through-
ont Georgia had given Dalton a bad
case of the black eye; that tlie town
was regarded by many as “a den of
thieves.” and it was currently supposed
that the city’s most influential mer
chants have for years been knowingly
receiving stolen goods from the Bohan
non gang.
The grand jury was charged to fully
investigate the affair ami if any mer
chant, no matter how influential, is in
»uy way suspicions!v commuted with
tho affair a true bill should be found
against him.
Tlie present grand jury is a very
strong one and v/ill probably do its duty.
Excitement is quite high and general
talk seems to indicate that some very
sensational cases will le brought before
the court within the next two weeks.
Ralph Ellison, a prominent witness
in the cases, has been placed in jail on
suspicion that he would loavr the coun
try. Bohannon is now in jail at At
luuta, but will be broiight here iu a few
days for trial.

Madkid, Oct. 3.—The advent of the
Liberal party to power has been remark
ably well received throughout the whole
peuiusuia and it is popularly credited
that a more salutary regime in Cuba
will be at once initiated with the relief
of General Weyler.
It is now understood that his succes-
•or wiil be General Blanco, former gov-
erner general of the Philltpines. Bianco
is considered tho softest hearted soldier
in Spain. He is a subtie and kindly
politician and will, as a war.ior, be al
ways prone to employ pacific iu prefer
ence to violent measures. He wtli bo
fuiiy authorized to approach the rebeb
with a view to arriving at a matu.it
Bgreemcut for the cessation of hostili
ties.
Should ho not go a general will, in
any case, be sent, whose modus operand!
shall be mercy and conciliation, not ex
termination and deliberate inhumanity.
Now is the fitting occasion to recall tiie
words of Senor Sugasta. uttered lust
May: “I beneve rtt milifarv eombiued
with diplomatic action iu Cuba”
Tiie Spanish nation has remembered
these words ami is eagerly awaiting the
cpplicattou of the new ministry’s ideal.
There is a good deal of latent cari
osity t • see what kiud of re< mien Gen
eral Weyler will meet with on his re
turn to the peninsula.
“He had bettor not come near Spain,”
said a Liberal.’
The queen regent is known to have
brought about the retirement of tho

the unremitting horrors ot tne Cuban
war, tlie indiscriminate maltrearinnut

The rumor that Germany and Aus
