ATLANTA, GA. Nov. 12.-The hall Of the
House of Representatives was comfortably
filled tonight to hear the speeches of
Patrick Calhoun and Judge Hines, both
candidates for the senatorship.
Mr.. Calhouns speech was dispassionate
and addressed himself rather to the reason
than the prejudices Of his au-
dlsnce. He avowed devotion to 9eorgia's
interests-polltical, industrial and social
and paid a fine tribute to Gov. Gordon. He
begged his audience not to drive men away
who differed with them. and not to be
driven from the Democratic party by oppo-
sitien. His discursive talk was replete with
information, and a plea for such con-
ditions, political and commercial, as would
secure unity for the common good and the
interests OF the west and south. Railroads
were essential to the farmers. Any con-
hict betwesn these could be avoided by con-
troll Of the railroads by the people. Tho

Tided the Institution over It's Trou-
bles-A Clearing House Committee

Closed by the Examiner.

statement of the cashier. The amount in
volved, Vice President Brokaw said last
night, was less than $4,000. Its dealings

A WORLDS FAIR SPLIT.
The President Resigns But Ia APP
peesed and Reconsiders.

The President Resigns But is Ap-
peesed and Reconsiders.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-There was big sem
sation in worlds fair circles to-day over
the action of President Lyman G. Gage. in
rendering his resignation to the board of
directors last night. 1t was said In the
morning panersthat President Gage had
threatened to resign at last nights meeting.
As matter of fact, however, he did resign,
and temporarily left the directors room and
went into an adjoining apartment. The
directors were thunderstruck, and in great
haste reconsidered the offensive resolution,
and the president once more returned to
the room.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
An authorized statement by President
Gage in regard to the matter is to the effect
that the trouble arose over a resolution in
troduced by Director H. n. Higginbotham
in relation to the apportionment of the fair
and the part which was to go on the lake
front. The resolution placed about one-half
of the fair on the lake front, including the
attractive features. This was contrary to
the previous plans, and to clinch the matter
the resolution provided that there should be
no changes made, and the whole scheme
pushed through without any consultation
with the national commission. This ignoring
of the national commission was what chiefly
aroused President Gage and led to the scene
above mentioned.
The special committee appointed by the
United States House Of Representatives on
the worlds fair, of which Congressman
Gambler of Massachusetts, is chairman, and
the other members are Congressman
Flower, Hyatt, Wilson and Frank, arrived
here to-day and will Tomorrow begin busi-
ness in accordance with the resolution
passed by the House to look into worlds
fair matters
