MILLS AND MCPHERSON,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The senate COM
mittee on finance was the scene of two
changes today. 1t was announced au-
thoritatively at noon that Senator Mills
would retire from the committee, and that
Mr.. Mcpherson would resume his seat.
and Mr.. Mills confirmed the report When
the senate adjourned this evening Mr..
Mills stated that there had been a recon-
sideration; that Mr.. Mcpherson did not
believe himself in state Of health to
warrant his undertaking the work OF a
full member OF the committee. and he had
asked Mr.. Mills to continue as a member
in his stead, which he would do.
The second change has set at rest a
number of rumors which were afloat as to
the cause of the first change. One of these
was to the effect that it was brought about
by the dissatisfaction of eastern Demo-
crotic senators with the work OF the sub
committee This dissatisfaction certainly
exists to degree, but it is understood
that it is directed to the bill generally. and
that some of the disagreements have been

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR.
The Citizens Club Discussed Munich
pal Politics Last Night.

/ A Campaign Committee to Be APP
/ pointed, and a Meeting TO Be Held
/ Monday Night, After the October
/ Election, to Talk over Available
Candidates - Maj. Schwarz, Mr..
Myers and DR.. Duncan Now Being
Widely Discussed as Probabilities.
The Citizens Club held a well attended
meeting at Odd Fellows hall last night
for the purpose Of discussing in a general
way the coming municipal and county
elections, more especially the former
a resolution was proposed and adopted
providing for campaign committee of
twenty-five at large TO take charge of the
city campaign for the club, and to look af-
ter its interests. This committee will be
appointed later under the resolution which
authorized the president to make the ap-
pointments when he deemed fit The pur-
pose and intent of this committee will be
TO look after the municipal campaign in
the interests of the club, and it seems to
be the belief that this campaign will be
harder fought one than the July primary,
which was entirely within the party
ranks.
TO DISCUSS CITY POLITICS.
1t vas decided, too, to hold a meeting
the Monday night following the election
of Oct for the purpose of discussing the
municipal campaign with a view to reach
ing some conclusion as to who will be the
proper candidate for mayor and other
Offices for the club TO support.
Ii is likely that the mayoralty nominal
ton will be decided by a primary held
within the club at a convenient date
after the October election. A resolution
providing for a club primary to decide
on the mayoralty candidate at next
Monday nights meeting was offered,
but after some discussion was lost,
as it was considered that the time
specified would be too early for the
club to take action on that matter. 1t
seems to be the impression, however,
that this is the manner in which the
clubs nomination will be made. There
was report on the street yesterday that
the intention was to nominate Mai John
Schwarz at last nights meeting On in
quiry, however, this was denied by men,
bers of the club in the afternoon, and it
seems that the talk was a little prema-
ture.
MANY RICHMONDs IN THE FIELD.
There is as much doubt as ever, it
seems, as to who will be the clubs candi-
date. Several of those who have been
mentioned have strong following within
the club, and ii may require test of
forces through a club primary to
decide which of the probabilities
has a preponderance of popularity.
Mai. Schwarz seems to be a general
favOrite with many members of the club,
while within the last few days Mr.. Her
man Myers has been talked of extern
sively and has developed a strong follow
ing DR.. Duncan is believed by many to
be the clubs choice, but others say he
does not desire the nomination.

meeting were idessrs. w. T. Sullivan, |.

A DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT.
Doc Higgins of Statesboro illustrates
by the Band on His Hat.


There is a good democrat up in Bull
loch county, who lives about four miles
out of Statesboro, said a commercial
tourist the other day, who has very
ingenious method of argument with the
weaker brethren, who seem inclined to
follow populistic theories and ideas.
They call him Doc Higgins, and his
friends says he is one of the cleverest of
men. He can always be told by his hat
which is his distinguishing feature, and
that is what he uses to illustrate his
little practical political talk. He wears a
big straw hat with two wide ribbons on
it. The under ribbon is a blue one and
the top ribbon a deep red. The former
he says represents the Republican party
and the latter the Democratic party. On
the blue ribbon he has pinned four large
pieces of yellow ribbon, and on the red
one three or four very small pieces OF vel
low ribbon. The large pieces of yellow
ribbon on the blue he says represent the
states which were lost by the republicans
to the populists in the northwest, while
the smaller pieces on the democratic rib
bon represent the two or three counties
that Georgia democrats lost to the popu-
lists two years ago.
OF course the hat always attracts at
tention wherever it is seen, and it's wearer
is always asked to give an explanation Of
the phenomenon. He gives the above
little curtain lecture drawing the contrast
between the losses of the Republican
party in the north, which was in states,
and the losses of the Democratic party
in the south which amounted to no more
than one or two counties here and there.
Those who know Higgins say his little
talk has resulted on more than one occa-
sion in the return of a populist to the
democratic fold. They say he has good
in Bulloch county and that he is turning
large numbers of them into the demo
cratic ranks. One peculiar fact about
him is so say his friends, that he does
not want any Office, but believes so firmly
in democratic principles that he is doing
some hard work for the party

STRUCK A TRAINING WALL.
The Jetty Work at Barnwen Island
Ran Into by the Chattahoochee.

The Jetty Work at Barnwen Island
Ran Into by the Chattahoochee.
The steamship Chattahoochee, which
arrived from Boston night before last,
struck the Barnwell Island training wall
in the blight and it is said damaged it to
considerable extent. The Chattahoochee
was coming slowly up the river and Just
at this point there were several vessels
anchored in or near the channel, which
made 1t difficult of passage, and the acct
dent is attributable to this fact
This is the same piece of ietty work that
was struck by the steamship Chatham,
Capt. Enos toster, of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation line, about two
weeks ago, and for which Capt. Foster
was held TO answer to the United States
court The Chatham is said to have dam
aged the training wall to the extent of
about 81 GOO, and the report is that the
damage done by the ChaItahoochee was
even greater in extent Nothing has been
done about the matter as yet, but it is
likely that Capt. Savage will be asked to
appear before the United States commits
sloner as soon as report on it is made.
