GEORGIA AT THE PARADE
a BIG CROWD oFFFOR THE sCnNE
VIA ATLANTA.

The State Capital Practically Deserted
by Her Usually Numerous Horde of
Politicians-The Wire Pullers and
Offlce Seekers of 6igh and Low
Degree All Out of Town.
ATLANTA. GA, March 2.-This city, US
ually the Mecca Of politicians of all grades
of Importance. is deserted by even the least
ambitious of them now. For a week past
the exodus has been going on. Yesterday
the rush began and tonight the hotel lob
bies, where they can be spotted from every
part of the state almost any day Of the
year or at any time, are like banquet
hall deserted. Georgia has just dumped
her barrel ,of political wire-pullers
and officers into the lap OF the
national capital. Washington-bound trains
for days past have been packed
made by trains in two sections in order to
provide accommodations. The pilgrims all
come to Atlanta to embark, many combi-
nations being formed to rendezvous here
OF course they all go simply to see the in
| auguration ceremonies, they say, but it
does not take a very keen observer TO see the
wonderful array Of axes they carry along to
be ground. Many of the GeorGians have
secured regular quarters at Washington
and will take up their abode there while
they wait upon the maturing Of their plans.
A FEW BELATED sTRAGGLERs.

already gone there are a few belated strag-
glers who could not get off until tomorrow.

hunter, whose delay was caused on ao-
count of little trick he played upon his
competitors for the particular position TO
which he aspires. The position is a high
one, too, and il he is successful he will be
congratulated as bringing honor to the
state. In that event the publication Of his
name will Oe an interesting sequel TO the
present story. This enterprising applicant
mysteriously disappeared from the city and
the politicians who kept a wary eve
upon his movements one day last week. No
one could account for his absence at the
critical period when he might have been
getting in good work among the throng Of
influential politicians assembling here on
their way to Washington. But yesterday
the gentleman in question turned up smil-
ing, and through a confidential friend 1t
became known that he had just returned
from Lakewood, n. j., where be had
an hours talk with Mr.. Cleveland upon
the subject of the application which he will
enter as soon as the new administration is
installed. 1t is said that Mr. Cleveland
practically assured the enterprising Atlan-
tian that he would get what he wanted.
His visit to Lakewood accounts for his po-
sition in the tail end of the procession, but

Corn, Oats, Pork and Lard Also Rise
in Sympathy.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Wheat to-day
jumped up over cents a bushel, corn adj
vsncsd over cent, pork so cents and lard
40 cents, all apparently the result of the
death of the anti>option bill. Traders
showed disposition to operate more freely
than for months, and the markets were
rousing enough for q presidential in
auguration. The boom began a few
minutes after the opening, as soon
as the fact became apparent that the offer
ings of wheat were not large aud the de-
mand urgent, particularly from the shorts.
The dullness of late induced good deal of
local short selling and the market became
oversold TO such an exte Mt that the killing
Of the anti-option bill by congress scared
many into covering. Their buying, COM
bined with that by outsiders, and also by
traders who believed that a change for the
better was about to come absorbed the
offerings so readily that prices were ad-
vanced l cent In a few minutes. The up
ward tendency was continued until an
advance of 2 cents from the opening figures
had been recorded. A reaction of 8@14
cent occurred, and was In turn followed by
an advance of half cent, and the close
was strong, with a net gain Of 2 cents for
May and a cents for July.
The course of the market in corn was
Identical with wheat. The bulge soon
spread from wheat and corn into the oats
crowd, and there was heavy business done,
while the price climbed about three-quarters
cent above the opening quotations. Shorts
were again the principal buyers. Trading
was light for everything in the market in
hog products

With Roeber.
New ORLEANS, La, March 2.-The
Olympic Club opened its fstio carnival to-
night with a finish fight between Billy
Hines OF Providence, r. l., and Billy Nc
MILAN of Washington. The fight, while of
but little importance 30 far as prize-fights
go, preceded the event of the

Lewis, the stranger, and Ernest Roeber.
The failure OF the club to bring off the
Ryan Dawson fight acted as q damper and
not more than l 500 spectators occupied
seats in the immense arena calculated to
seat 5000 people.

boxing contest, and Hines was knocked out
In the fifth round.

PACIFIC MAIL SUBSIDIES.
The Report of the Investigating Com
mittee OF the House.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ths Panama
Pacific mail investigating committee met
this afternoon and sdopted the report pre-
pared by Representative Storer, rep. Of
Ohio on the work Of the committee.
The report recommends that in the
future in all ocean mail contracts
the Postmaster General shall insert q clause
providing that whenever it is found that
carriers enjoying the benefits OF the contracts
entered into any combination 10 restraint OF
competition the subsidy shall cease.
The committee finds that there is no ex-
elusive right to control transit across the
isthmus vested in American citizens or cor
porations, or Limitation upon the nation
ality of stockholders. The committee was
unable to trace any corrupt use of money
to influence congress or the executive
branch, and says it may be that no
investigation at this time would suffice
even If corruption had existed. Comment
is made upon Count de Lesseps' visit to
America and the change OF sentiment that
followed, though the failure of congress to
act upon Representative Crapo's resolution
is excused on the ground of lack of time and
apathy. Such contracts as existed between
the Pacific Mail and the Panama railroad
are declared inimical to American commerce
and the hope is expressed that eventually
American citizens will control one Isthman
route.
