BLACKSHEAR EXCITED.
Savannahs Action In Quarantining
Not to Her Liking.

Savannah's Action in QuarantininR
Not to Her Liking.
BLAcKsHEAR, GA, Aug. 23.-The citi-
zens of this place are all very indignant
over the action of the Savannah authorities
in regard to the suspected case of yellow
fever at this place. Their order to
Capt. Fleming, superintendent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, was that no train going
north or south that stopped at Blacksnear
should be allowed to enter Savannah.
This leaves Blackshear entirely cut off from
the world. DIR. Lincoln's statement and his
action aud the number of contradictory
statements made as to whether it is really yell
low fever or not, has caused every one, the
attending physicians not excepted. to BE-
lieve that Mail Agent Ballentlne's case is
not yellow fever. This is the eighth day
since Mr.. Balentine was confined to his
bed He sat up in bed to-day and expressed
u desire to eat. He said he would go
! back to work Monday. Mr.. Balentine has
had the yellow fever twice, once during the
Charleston epidemic, as that was his home
at that time, and his wife who attended
him both times positively says his present
ailnent is not yellow faver. The citizens
feel Ieenly the action of the Savannah
authorities in this matter, and trust that
they will remove the rigid quarantine placed
upon Blackshear until they are sure that
the town is infected with yellow
fever. The citizens here are not
satisfied with Dr. Lincoln's report under
the circumstances. 1t is thought trains
going sou h should he allowed to stop here.
The mayor of Blackshear has requested
General Manager Haines to send an expert
to investigate Until then the au-
thorities will take no active
steps about quarantining. Dr.. Hutton
has arrived from Waycross and placed a
| guard at the residence of Mr.. Balentine in
order to prevent anyone from leaving or
entering the house for ten days, at the ex-
! piration OF which time the guard viii be
removed If there are no further develop
ments. DIR. Hutton is in the employ of the
| ROYernment.

GEORGIA CAPTURES MCKINLEY.

He is on the Wrong side.
WASHINGTON, August 23.-Congressman
Mckinley arrived here from Atlanta to-
night and left for Ohio. Upon being asked
about his trip and reception, he said: MY
visit to Atlanta was a most interesting one.
The generous hospitality of the people
was everywhere and in every way mani
tested. | was deeply impressed with the
progressive spirit of the people Of Atlanta.
They are full of push. The city is beauti-
full with parks, schools, and colleges, and
factories, and workshops are a striking evil
dence of what earnest and intelligent efforts
can accomplish.
AS GOOD Al OHIO COULD HAVE DONE.
"They accorded me hospitable welcome
and an attentive and generous hearing
covld not have had better in any city of
Ohio. They are deeply interested in the
industrial question, and are giving it thor
ough consideration. They are concerned
abou the material development of the
south. They have witnessed the marvellous
development of New England under the
protective policy.
ABUNDANT NATURAL s5EsoURCEl
"They have natural resources, raw ma
terial of almost every description in abun-
dance, and their progressive meu are intent
upon their development. They feel that
they need protection even more than those
sections OF the union which have reached a
higher state of industrial development, and
unless | mistake their temper, they will in
sist upon a fiscal policy which will Sc
cure it,"

LIKE a THUNDERCLAP.
The Message Knocked the Republicans
Off Their Pins.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The Presidents
message startled the self-satstied republic
ans. 1t completely upset all their expecta-
tions. When they defeated the fish
cries treaty, announcing thereby that
the fisheries question was no
longer subject for nego-
tiation, they thought they had left the
President no excuse in case of further and
almost inevitable difficulty with Canada,
but the retaliation law, which he could not
execute broadly without cutting off our
commerce with Canada, and inhicting
incalculable injury upon ourselves.
They said publicly that they
did not believe he would dare to do this, and
50 they thought they had him cornered, for
if he did do it. he would ruin our commerce
with Canada, and if he did not do it, they
could say he was controlled by British infu-
ence and, perhaps, go so far as to carry out
the menace of impeachment in the Ed =
nunds' report on the treaty, presented by
the majority of the committee on foreign
relations.
THE THREAT.
In that report, speaking of the Presi-
dents appointment OF negotiators to make
the treaty, the republicans of the commit
tee used the following significant language:
IL Is not 0lfnCtlH 10 see Jn0J IN evil times, Wnen
the President OF the United States may be
under the influence Of foreign and adverse in
terests, such a course of procedure might
result in great disaster to the interests, and
even the safety Of our government
and people. Tue document submitted TO the
senate by the President as the outcome of these
negotiations may, 1t is thought, well illustrate
the dangers Of such methods. But holding in
reserve for the time being these grave questions
touching usurpations of unconstitutional pow
ers or the abuse of those that may be thought
toexist on the part OF the executive, the com
mittee thinks il sufficient for the present occa-
sion to deal with the document itself
WHAT Is MEANT.
That is to say 1--WE reprinand you this
time-next time we will chastise you ="
When the President read this passage in the
report be was naturally indignant. When
he found that the treaty was to be rejected,
he set to work TO clrcumvent the republican
plotters. He went over the whole ground
thoroughly, so much more thoroughly than
any one else, that lie discovered, what had
escaped everybody else. that article % of
the treaty of Washington, providing
for trans-shipment in bond, foil TO
the ground with the fisheries
articles Of the treaty. Now the backbone
of the Edmunds report is this self-same
article 20, which Mr.. Edmunds thought was
still la force. Then the President thought
out the new plan of retaliation, so much
more effective than the cumbersome one
given him by congress-a plan which he
could execute with practically no damage
to any except TO some Of our railroad inter
ests. and which would strike directly at
Canadian business amounting to $50, 200, 900
a year.

BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 23.-The matter

same termination as heretofore, and the

damage than the loss Of the steamship line.
