SAVANNAH IN BIG LUCK.
SHE IS DoUBLY HONORED AT THB
STATE CONVENTION.

Solicitor General duBignon Sent to
a.. Louis, and Col. Estill to be the
Georgia Member of the Democratic
National Executive Committee-Pro-
ceedings of the Convention.
ATLANTA, GA, May 9.-When the name
of Col. Estill was presented as one of the
delegates for the State at large to the st.
Louis convention. Mr. I. L. CAN'T, of
Clarke county, rose and stated that Col.
Fstill was not candidate for the honor,
and he withdrew his name, after which the
names of a number of other gentlemen were
presented.
Hon. L. f. Livingston, of Newton county,
urged that Col. Estill be placed in nomina-
tion, and inquired by what authority he
was withdrawn, as his (Mr. Livingston's)
section of the State had crystalized on Col.
Estil as one of those who should represent
Georgia'S Democracy in st. Louis.
HIGH HONOR.
Mr.. CAN'T, after paying a tribute to Col.
Fstilrs services to the State and party,
stated that he had placed his interests in the
hands of his friends, and the organized
Democracy of Georgia, and these arbitra-
tors had decided to give him higher place
in the councils of the party. 1t is under
stood that Col Estilrs friends only with
drew his name as a delegate for the State
at large after distinct understanding that
he would be made the member of the Dem
ocratic National Executive Committee for
Georgia.
Savannah thus secures two honors, one
the member for George on the National
Executive Committee for the next four
years. the highest office in the gift of the
party, and the other one of the delegates
for the State at large to the national con-
ventlOn. L. l.. u.

sALBANY, May 9.-Thirty-ive hundred

ONLY A THEORY.

Their theory is that they will be able in
conference committee to outwit the repre-
sentative of the House and then get votes
enough In the House To adopt their report.
They already see many difficulties in the
way First of ALL they have not been able
TO unite upon bill. The same differences
exist among the Republicans Of the Senate
ON the tariff question as among the Repub
llcans OF the House. The latter are still un-
able 10 agree upon Il substitute for the
Mills bill They cannot agree either upon
the total repeal of the sugar duties, the
total repeal of the liquor taxes, or any
special reduction of either, and upon
changes i'll the tariff there are us many
ideas as there are men. The only thing
they are agreed upon is the repeal of the
tobacco taxes.
WHERE THEY WILL SLIP UP.
But second, even supposing an agreement
among themselves, the Republican Senators
would not be able to effect their purpose
through the conference committee, as they
did in 1888, because Speaker Carlisle will
not appoint majority of protectionists as
conferees on the part of the House Messrs.
Bayard, Beck and Carlisle were simply
powerless on the conference com
mittee of 1888, but the Democrats
appointed on the part of the
Senate this year will be REINFORCED by
MesSrs. Mills, McNIillin and w. c. p.
Breckenridge, and the purpose of the House
will not be compromised or BETRAYED TO de-
feat It. There are other minor difficulties to
lie surmounted. but these will probably
prove enough to prevent tho Senate Repub-
licans from carrying out their plan.

CHILDREN OF SLAVES.
An Illinois Judge Holds That They Are
Illegitimate

Illegitimate
CHICAGO, May 9.-Judge Tuley has
rendered a preliminary decision in a con-
tested will case that is of considerable i'm
portance to all children born in slavery,
and to many of the descendants of such
children. He pronounces such children
illegitimate, and holds that they cannot in
herit property fro m their father. The case
was that of Elizabeth Bunch, born slave,
VIII Sc freedom was purchased by her father
after his escape from siav ry. This woman
outlived her husband and children, and dis
posed of her property by will to white
people This will is disputed by her half
brothers and sisters, as nearest of kin, and
legal heirs.
DECLARED ILLEGITMATE.
Judge Tuley decides that Elizabeth
Bunch was an Legitimate child, and could
have no heirs but those Of her own body.
The ground of the decision is that slaves
being chattels. no legal marriage was posi-
bic any more than real estate can marry

This decision, which was made on a mo-
ton for a rehearing. was surprise TO both
sides The case will be appealed, however,
