Jen Davis Speeches.

Mr.. Davis tripfrom Atlanta to Savannah
was a continuous ovation. At every
station crowds collected, and wherever the
train stopped Mr.. Davis was called for and
was Obliged either to bow or speak. The
enthusiasm everywhere was unbounded.
At Macon, Ga, from the balcony OF the
depothe said:
Friends and countrymen, ladies and.
gentlemen: This visit to Macon brings
up tender and precious thoughts,
around which cling memories of the closing
struggle and most important events
OF the Confederacy. When the struggle
ended and when my wife and sick infant
sought refuge, it was here that the grand
old man, Howell Cobb, received my wife,
who was disconsolate and perse cuted-per-
secuted because she was the wife OF one
who tried to do his duty by his country
men. 1t was here also that one good Yam
kee allowed us to come to Macon and rave
US quarters. That sick infant has grown
into q tall woman.
Here Miss Winnie came forward and re-
ceived a shout OF applause. With his arm
around her, Mr.. Davis continued:
This is my daughter. the child OF the Con-
iederacy, as she was born in the last year
OF the war, and she exults in the fact that
she was born in the Southern Confederacy.
lApplause. Georgia has been redeemed
from the oppression thrown around her in
the days OF reconstruction, when they re.
fused to let you in. In this, as III the great
struggle you have shown the right forti-
tude, and at last your labors have been
crowned. You are marching forward to
prosperity. and may God bless you. My
heart is always warm to you. You are
confederates and l love you for it. Zap
plause. Mississippi is n daughter OF Geor-
gla, and l am the son OF a Georgian. Again
say, God bless Georgia and her people.

First Blood in Chicago.

Monday the 3D. inst was exciting in Chi
Gsgo. In addition to the ordinary process.
sion OF strikers, marching from place to
place, some 5000 men-lumbcr showers,
planning mill hands and factory men-held
a mass meeting On the prairie at Robrist
and the black road" The meeting was
addressed by socialists, who had the mat.
ter entirely in their own hands,. One Ger
man speaker particularly inflnmed his
hearers. He said:
Quit the Knights OF Labor. They viii
never do o any good. Join the Central
Labor union, which will help you to your
rights and freedom. Anarchy is the only
way for the worklngmen to break the
chains OF slavery in which they are bound
by the capitalists. 1t is your only way to
become free. Freedom, freedom! / say.
With revolver in one hand and your knife
IN the other, and bombs in your pocket,
march on to revolution and freedom.
Every workipgman must starve together,
and stand together, and fight together for
his rights.
After listening to the haransue The crowd
began to throw stones at the surrounding
buildings. Then, az il moved by one spirit,
the 5000 men started toward the McCor-
mick reaper works, half q mile west. It
was about $3.50 O'Clock when the crowd ar
rived there. With yells and fierce de-
precautions, the now frantic men attacked
the building with stones that lined the rail
road track extending past the works.
The mol had its " way for a long time.
The Mccormick crowd retreated within
the gates, but one OF their number who was
left behind fell into the hands OF the aa.
sailants and was nearly beaten to death.
The attacking party now entered the gates
and pelted the windows and walls Of the
factory, whittier the employees had re-
treated. On arriving the police charged
and firing u few shots into the air.
The mob seeing that n one OF their num-.
Der WAS injured simply jeered atthe officers,

There have been two proposed
changes in the Constitution of the
United States under discussion at
Washington. Oneis to grant the pow
to the Pfsident to veto single items in
appropriation bills-a safeguard
against the incorporation Of jobs in
these bills that has been tried with
good results in State Governments.
The joint resolution to submit this
change was reported adversely by the
House Committee and thus disposed
OF at least for this session. The other
proposed amendment to the Constitu.
ton is that offered by Senator In.
gals to change the date Of the Presi,
dents inauguration, and, consequent
y, 81 the adjournment Of the short
session q Congress. from March A, to
the original date, April SO. Public ap.
pr.oyal seems I tavor this last prop
cAitiop.

The end of the switchmen's strikes at

EAFH9 IT." H.-L
The end fthe switchmen's strike at
Chicago shows what can be accom-
plisfed by GOODNESS and good temper.
There does not appear to have been
even an arbitration. No third party
wasinvited in, but the railway man
ayers, and the strikers committee
came together. in the right spirit, and
in q little while had their differences
healed and everything in order Tor a
resumption of work. There does not
appear to have been any surrender on
either side, but merely on exchange. OF
concessions satisfactory to both.
This was the economical as well as
the sensible plan, and the whole coun.
try is better for the lesson that has
been taught by the incident.

Courts Of arbitration for the settle

listed in France since the first year OF

adopted in 1901, and. with slight
notifications, have existed until the

they are held on the application of

A Sad Bereavement.

With the dawning of yesterday,
Deaths summons came 20 Mrs. Bert
Potter. To Q bride of scarcely six
weeks, joyous and happy In her new
home and relations. and looking for
ward to q lifetime Of domestic bliss,
the dread call came almost without q
warning, and the spirit was called
home.
So sudden and unexpected was the
news that passed from mouth to
mouth yesterday morning that 1t was
regarded as almost impossible. and 1t
was not until the desolated home was
visited that the bitter truth was fully
realized. Sophie Mattson was married
in September last to H. G. Potter, an
old and valued enploye Of the JOUR.
NAL Office. The wedding took place
at the Mcqueen house, with which
the bride had long been connected,
and was participated In by the many
friends of both parties. A few days
after the ceremony the happy couple
went to housekeeping and were
In the full enjoyment Of do
mestic happiness. On Saturday
Mrs. Potter complained somewhat
of a stomach trouble that she had
suffered from at intervals before. and
was Ill during sunday, but not until
evening was 1t thought at all serious.
During Sunday night she grew worse,
and about 4 o'clock Monday morning
DR.. Redd was called to attend her.
He found her suffering from spas
modic vomiting and retchings, which
defied treatment and continued until
z o'clock, at which hour she died.
Kind neighbors were soon apprised of
the mournful event, who took charge
In the house Of sorrow and performed
the last sad offices for the young vile
whose honeymoon was barely spent
ere Death claimed her. The funeral
service will lie held this afternoon at 2
