WAR IN GEORGIA.
Cleveland Rebuked-in the House
of His Friends.
After Making Hundreds of APP
pOintments in Georgia.
The Democratic Convention
Slaps Him in the Face.
TURNS SQUARE ABOUT
On All the Administrations
Financial Acts.
Demanding the Restoration of
Silver to It's Place.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 3.-One Of the
hardest fought battles between the ad-
ministration and the Democrats who do
not approve of its financial policy was
brought to a close at 10 o'clock last night
in the Democratic State convention Of
Georgia
A week ago the administration people
recognized the fact that President Cleve-
lands anti silver attitude as previously
maintained could not be indorsed by the
state convention, hence there was a
change of faith, and the Atlanta Journal,
Secretary Holze Smiths paper, began in
double-leaded editorials to prove that
Mr.. Cleveland was bimetallist, and
had even now begun the work of free
silver coinage at the rate of 81 100000
month.
When the platform committee went
out it was with angry feelings on both
sides. 1t was composed in equal num-
bers of Cleveland and anti Cleveland
men as they are known here. For ten
hours this committee remained in con-
tinuous session, the administration men
fighting for a square endorsement of Mr..
Cleveland's policy and personality. Not
even to the latter feature would his ad-
versaries agree.
In the meantime the convention had
proceeded with the nomination of Col.
Atkinson to the governorship. In his
lodging platform; that he had never
lodged in politics before and did not
not propose to begin now. This message
he sent into the platform committee
through Hon. Warner Hill, one of his
most trusted friends.
This declaration it was that made the
administration members yield their effort
to have an Endorsement of Mr. Cleveland
in the platform. and the currency
plank they agreed to thiss
I'VE demand the Immediate passage
of such legislation as will restore silver
to its constitutional position as money
metal, and will secure at once the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
on parity, and give to every dollar in
circulation, whether coin or paper, the
same debt paying and purchasing pow
ers."
This put the convention into an up
roar. The administration men we're de-
termined to get an Endorsement of Mr..
Cleveland's policy. One such amend
ment by Mr. Dessau Squaus, indorsing
the president, was ruled out of order,
and the platform as read was agreed to.
Finally, when the body was about to ad-
jOurn, this resolution of personal indorse-
ment was passed:
"We have an abiding faith in the
courage, wisdom, honesty and patriotism
of President Cleveland, and appreciate
the difficulties confronting his admins
tration in its effort to remedy the evil
effects of Republican misrule and ex-
travagance."

TIME TO ACT.
Senate COnferrees Think There s
Been Enough Discussion. {.
A Sugar Schedule Has Been
Prepared it is Said.
1T IS PROTECTIVE
Will Be Offered to House as the
Extreme Limit.
Bland Will Introduce a Res0lu-
tion for Free Sugar

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The tariff con-
ference appears to have reached very
nearly the point at which either an early
agreement will be reached or a decision
to report a disagreement. The senate
cOnferrees apparently have arrived at
the conclusion that there has been al
ready a sufficient exchange of views
upon general lines and that the time has
come when the direct issue must be
raised. 1t Is stated that a sugar schedule
has been prepared which the senate viii
accept and which is to be presented to
the house members as the extreme limit
to which the senate viii 60.
The schedule, it is said still provides
in other particulars maintains the pro-
tective features of the senate schedule.
Representative Bland has introduced a
resolution instructing the committee on
ways and means TO report bill placing
all sugars on the free list. and for rais-
ing 1OO,0O0,OOO revenue by the income
tax.
Mr.. Bland says concerning the resolu-
ton: Il have not consulted Mr.. Wilson
on my own judgment in sub
hitting the resolution My pur-
pose is to press it if there is
any Indication that the general tariff
bill will fail. The proposition is some
what different from that suggested in
Mr.. Wilson's speech tat the time the
presidents letter to him was ready, as it
proposes raising the necessary govern
ment revenue by an income tax. I his
feature is essential, however. if sugar is
placed on the free list | believe this
separate tariff measure would quickly
pass both branches of congress if the
general bill failed

sr. JOSEPH, No, Aug. 3.-The Rock

into Atchison as a result Of the river
washing several miles Of its tracks away.
The through train which formerly start
ed from Atchison now starts from here
The Burlington company has noti-
fed ali lines using its tracks between
this city and Atchison to build branches
connecting their lines, as the line Is too
much crowded with i've roads running
trains over it.
The Santa Fe IS considerably worried
about the situation All the other roads,
