Incidents of
Tour.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 13.—W.
J. Bryan arrived here at noon to
day. A delegation of prominent
Democrats met him at the station,
Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, tak
ing the lead in greeting him. A
public reception at Convention
hall followed.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 13.—"Our Jury
Is the nation; our proof the record of
the Republican party; our xvltnen*
Theodore Rooaevelt; our attorney Mr.
Bryan. <>f Xebraaka."
In these words Colonel Henry Wnt-
terson crystallxed the aentiment of the
great withering of Kentucky folk who
gathered at the Armory lant night to
give an enthuRlARttc reception to WH-
•llam JennlngH Bryan. Twelve thou-
land people applauded hi* declaration.
Recognized •• Chieftain.
“I recognize an our chieftain In thli
•pproachlng conflict the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraaka,” Raid
Colonel Watterson. ‘‘We purpone to
reform, not to revolutionize the gov
ernment. We purpose to re-catabllsh
Democratic Institutions In the nation’s
capital, returning to the voters what
belongs to the voter*. We purpose to
drive from the floor of the senate those
who sit there not as servant* of the
people, but as corporation counsel. We
purpose to drive from the floor of the
bouse the sj>eaker and his rules com
mittee who have made nn autocracy of
that body. In a word we purpose to re
adjust the lost balance between the peo
pie and their lawmakers."
Mr. Bryan was accorded a welcome
that wns as hearty as It was demon-
illative. He took occasion to state
plainly his position regarding owner
ship “f rn 11 roads by the government,
md in order that there might be no
chance to understand -him, he read
statement which had been prepared
for.the occasion.
People Make Platforms.
Ho said he never had and never
would attempt to force his opinions
u;*«n any one. The making of plat-
f rms, he said, rests with the voters of
the party.
He declared he had nothing to take
back, and would gladly make any sac
rifice iit exchange for the assurance
that regulation Instead of government
ownership would solve the problem. He
was of the opinion, however, that
regulation would not accomplish the
desired end.
Ovation For Bryan.
There was a groat outburst of cheers
*hcn Mr. Bryan asserted that when
ever he saw a danger threatening the
People he had spoken out without xisk-
•ng anybody's permission or querying
what the effect might be on him. He
[•raised President Roosevelt for bring
ing peace between Russia and settling
strike, but said that In all
Popular movements the president had
*°it'n his authority from the Demo-
rratlc platform. This was largely
he said, In Mr. Roosevelt's efforts
regulate the trusts. He condemned
imperialism, and traced a connection
wtween n protective tariff and unlaw
ful predatory combinations of wealth.

The mass meeting In honor of Mr.
nryan was attended by prominent
members of the Democratic party from
By MANUEL CALVO.
Havana, Sept. 13.—That the arrival
here of the United State, cruller Den*
ver. and the fact that other American
warship, are on the way, either to
Cuba or within hailing distance of the
Island, la taken here to mean that the
United States Is preparing to Intervene
and restore order In Cuba. The foreign
element, especially those Interested In
sugar and tobacco growing, earnestly
hope that this Is true, while a ma
jority of Cubans fear It.
The late developments make it ap
parent thnt nothing short of the sur
render of Palma and his government
or American Intervention will restore
order, and It is doubtful If. either will
for a time at all events. Should Palma
abdicate there would be certain to be
a. light sooner or later among the lead
ers of the present movement as to who
should hove power.
Exciting rumors are that the rebels
of Santa Clara and Plnar del Rio prov
inces are marching upon Havana and
trill concentrate their forces and attack
the city. The wooden railroad bridge
at Taotaco, near Consolaclon, was
burned by the rebels yesterday. Pino
Guerra expects now to burn the rail
way stations and to blow up the
bridges and suspend traffic.
Loyalists Ars Beatsn.
News reaches here today that the
rebels have looted the city of Gaines,
which Is In the wealthiest agricultural
district of the province. It Is reported
that there was a desperate light before
the loyalists retreated, but that they
were overwhelmed.
News of the same kind comes from
Guyamaja, an Important town on the
borders of Plnar del Rio. Three trains
have returned to Havana this morning
having found It Impossible to cross the
Clabnzar bridge, which Is burning. All
the telegrnph llnrs belonging to the
comiiany have been cut. The govern
ment lines have alse been cut.
The manager of the Western railroad
called on Secretary Montalvo this
morning nnd asked military protection.
Montalvo told him It could not be giv
en. All the troops, the secretary said,
were needed In Havana. The manager
Is urging the British minister to take
action.
A bill will be Introduced In congress
tomorrow by Speaker Andreade, and
It will surely pass, authorlxing the
government to suspend the newspapers,
tlfe provisional government giving au
thority for employing foreigners In
the army and to expel from the Island
all foreigners -who may ba considered
obnoxious.
U. 3. TROOP8~READY
TO PROTECT PALMA
1 Washington, Sept. 18.—President
Roosevelt’s course does not content
plate intervention at this time. It
positively stated here today. Should
Intervention become necessary In order
to preserve Cuba from anarchy, he
will have the means at hand. Other
vessels now In Santo Domingan waters
or at Hampton Roads will probably fol
low those already on the scene.
The cruiser Denver Is now anchored
In Havana harbor, almost within
stone's throw of Palma's palace. In
case the personal safety of President
Palma should be threatened, he could
be taken aboard the vessel within a few
minutes' time. Commander Colwell, In
charge of the Denver, has been In
structed to place his vessel Immedlately
at the disposal of President Palma,
should the latter request It.
He will, of course, also afford all
possible protection to American citizens
in the city of Havana. In an emer
gency he will be permitted to land blue
Jackets for this purpose without wait
ing to communicate with Washington.
Similar course will be pursued by the
Marietta at Cienfugos, where she Is
expected to arrive today, and by the
Columbia and Dixie at Guantanamo.
CITY OF CuEnFUEgSs
SURROUNDED BY REBELS
Havana, Sept. IS.—The city of Clen-
fuegos Is surrounded by rebels. There
are 10,000 revolutionists In the province
of Santa Clara, In which Clenfuegos Is
situated. The peaceful citizens of
Clenfaegos have been warned to leave
the city. _
An overpowering rising Is Imminent
In the province of Santiago and the
old province of Camaguay, consequent
upon the disgust of the veterans at the
government. The veterans are return

WRECK RESPONSIBILITY
NOT OFFICIALLY FIXED
BY W. & A. RAILROAD^
- ■.. srsn ~ • ond.
Regular schedules have been re
turned over the Western and Atlantic
railroad after the wreck at Ringgold
Wednesday, the most disastrous In the
history of the road, when seven train
men were killed and one was Injured.
The tracks were cleared Wednesday
afternoon, and since that time all trains
have been coining In on time.
Even during the hours while the
tracks were blocked passenger trains
were not materially delayed. They
were detoured over the tracks of the
Southern from Chattanooga to Dal
ton, and none came Into Atlanta as
much as an hour late.
The bodies of all those killed In the
smash have been rant to their respec
tive homes. Only one body, that of
Engineer C. W. Klsher, was brought to
Atlanta. The bodies of the others have
been sent to their former homes, as
follows: Engineer C H. Clements, to
Tunnel Hill; Conductor T. T. White-
head, to Kingston; Fireman J. W. Kln-
nomon. to Tllden: Fireman W. M.
Slaughter, to Etlerslle; Braketnan W.
B Skelton, to Kennesaw; Apprentice
Fireman Walter Smith, to Winchester,
Brakeman Homer R. Robertson, who
was pretty badly bruised up. but saved
his life by Jumping from train No. 8,
was not seriously Injured, and was able
to go to his home at Kennesaw.
Conductor W. D. Adams, of train No.
8, was fortunate enough' to be on the
rear of his train and was the only one
to escaiie Injury.
Roth the engines were badly broken
up In the collision and about live cars
of each freight train were more or less
badly damaged.
The officials have not thus far been
able to place exactly the responsibility,
but It seems thnt the smp»h-up was
caused by Engineer Clements, who had
only been In charge of nn engine thir
teen days, forgetting his orders and
running pant Rlnggukl, which had been
designated as the point for meeting
train No. 13. It Is thought thnt Brake-
man Robertson had been sent forward
by Conductor Adams to remind him of
his error when the smash cantc. Rob
ertson had Just made Ills way, through
the dark, to the engine when he caught
sight of No. 13 ahead hrtd Jumped.
A report In expected from Conductor
Adnms Thursday afternoon.
Funsral of Engineer Fisher.
Engineer C. W. Fisher, of this city,
who was killed Wednesday In the
Western and Atlantic wreck at Ring-
gold, will be burled Friday morning at
10 o'clwk at Oakland cemetery. Fu
neral will be held at the Baptist Tab-
•rnacte, from which his body will be
carried to the cemetery accompanied
by the Central Lodge of Odd Fellow

Spring street, a girl
Nine girls and not a single boy. Not
even twins or triplets. Just girls.
Has the stork’s assortment become
reduced to girl babies, or has the wise
old bird decided to boycott boys?
Maybe he stayed up late the night be
fore and grabbed n.lne babies nearest
the door when he started to Atlanta
Tuesday. But be certainly did make
a bed break. Nine girls. Count 'em—
just take another look at the birth
llet publlehed In The Georgian Wednes
day afternoon and here reproduced. It s
the same old etory ell the way down
* h Just‘stop and think n oyer. If this
thing keeps up. what will Atlanta look
llko In about seventeen year*. On.
* course it wsald be mighty One
for the few men. They would feel at
happy aa the one man at the euminer
resort. But who will buy Ice cream
soda and theater tickets for those
debutantes of 1823? Will the fathers
have to dig for money or will Atlanta
be forced to Import a few thoueand
likely young men, warranted city,
broke, sound and (It for a lady to
drive? and who ie going to earn the*
money to eupport all thofce girls? Even
Atlanta couldn't use an unlimited num
her of hello girls snd stenographers.
Is there tc be another feminine Inva
slon?
What (hall the nine young ladles be
named? That’s easy. The Georgian
suggeets that they be given the names
of the nine muses of Greek mythology,
the Ineplrere of. music and song and
other things. The proud parents may
hold a caucus and divide the names
among themselves. The mythological
editor says the Greek ladles mentioned
a-ers named Clio, Calliope, Polyhymnia,
Euterpe. Tefpelchore, Erato. Melpo
mene, Thalia, and Urania.
But that stork must have been on a
drunk. There's nn othei way to ac
count for It. He has been furnishing
an annual supply of babies long enough
now to know better. He ought to have
some respect for the law of averages.
But maybe he's like a bum baseball
umpire and will try to make things
even In the next Inning. ,
So don't lose her-*-

Third Day’s Hearing in In

Dramatic.
Mrs. Belle Reid, former stewardess
of tha Soldiers' home, threw a bomb'
shell Into the Investigation Thursday
morning by declaring on the wltnees
stand that when ahe took charge last
October Inexpressible fllth and horri
ble conditions existed In the store room
and pantry.
Mrs. Reid's testimony was the dra
matic feature of the hearing to date.
Her testimony regarding the conduct
of affairs at tha Institution was given
clearly and In excellent language. But
when she came to the question of Im
putations on her private life, she broke
down and wept. For some moments
her voice was so choked with emotion
that she could not proceed.
Her testimony Impressed the commit
tee, and as she sat defending her char
acter the feeling among the Investiga
tors was tense.
The testimony Thursday was largely

his natural manner was harsh, though
he was always kind to him. He had

"He was particularly kind to you?'
asked Colonel Anderson.
"Yes, sir, because I was ont of the
officers here,” was the reply.
"Was Mrs. Reid kind?”
"To most of us, but not all. I heard
her speak sharply to Mr. Moseley."
Mrs. Reid was again present and
listened closely to all that was said.
Mr. Milts was named Wednesday as
one of the favorites of thb former stew
ardess.
Pressed for the names of grumblers,
he stated thut Hugh Colquitt and Mr.

much trouble.
"They go over to the city and get
two much Decatur street whisky."
"These old men are llke 'chlldren and

"Was It always given them?" asked

"Yes, sir, when they asked for It.”

Southern roads for suspension of the
30 days' notice requirement In the mnt-
ter of changing rates on. export cotton.
Captain A. R. Churchill, of Savan
nah, head of the Churchill line of
steamships, wan before the commission
much of the time. He manifested any
thing but eympathy for the railroads
and their domination of tho cotton rate
situation, but was with them In the de
sire that the thirty days' notice regula
tion should not be enforced. He was
closely questioned by the commission
ers and the railroad men.
Sam Brown, of Albany, Ga„ a cotton
exporter, during the course of a state
ment. was asksd about hts relations
to the New York cotton exchange.
"They're Just as small as possible,"
he replied.
"Why Is that 7"
"Because the business of the cotton
exchange Is to skin everybody."
"Skin who—reiser or buyer?"
"Either. both—anybody." replied
Brown: "the grower, the merchant, the
manufacturer, the speculator. But then
anybody that loses on the game de
serves it."
J. D. Moss, of Athens, Go., another
export merchant, opposed the thlrty-
duy notice requirement
Judge Edward Baxter, representing
roads In the cotton territory, declared
all his roads were ready to give any
notice required—30, 60 or 00 days. It
was fraught out that about 12 per cent
of the export cotton goes to sen by the
xirta of Baltimore. New York nnd
loston and Philadelphia, the railroads
to those ports, far distant from tho
cotton growing section, making rales
that take this large share of the crop
to them.
