THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
The original plan was to take the party
through the southern states from Cfncin-
clnnatl and Louisville to New Orleans bv
way OF Of Nashville, Memphis and Vicks-
purg, and to return to Washington by way
OF birmingham, Atlanta, Charleston and
richmond, and 1t may yet be decided to do
So but IN order that more time may be de-
voted to the south, it has been suggested nv |
leadlng southern men that the excursion |
through that section be- deferred until |
iater IN the season when the winter |
hotelS VIII be open, and the famous resorts |
can, De seen at their best This, it is argued |
VIII DO 10 the advantage of both the FOREIGN |
guests ana the places to be visited. If the |
a. ulp should be made upon the return from |
we vest as originally planned, the party |
s moqlu % taugned and satiated with sight |
oo5lNS, whereas II it is postponed for |
couple Of months they will be fresh and in |
better condition to enjoy it.
WILL COME To SAVANNAH.
Whatever the final decision may be. the
Journey through the south will incIrde
