ATLANTA's APPROPRIATION.
A Turn in the Tide Which Jeopardizes
the Bnrs Chances.

the Bills Chances.
Washington, Aug. 9,-Chairman Sayres,
of the conference committee which is con
sidering the civil sundry bill, including
the appropriation for the cotton states
exposition, says the conferees will not
make favorable report to the exposition,
but that 1t will be reported TO the House
as an Independent measure This action
looks omnious for the bill, for when il
comes into the House in such shape il will
take quorum TO pass 1t, and II ls very
difficult to secure quorum at this time.
OPPOSITION AT ATLANTA.
Atlanta Ga, Aug. 9-Atlanta's exposi-
tion bill is now ready for the Presidents
signature, but it may be defeated yet.
The employment of convict labor in grad
ing the grounds has aroused no little local
opposition among the working class.
Last night number of negro republi-
cans held meeting here and passed reso-
lutions opposing government aid to the
exposition. These resolutions were for
warded 10 Congressman Tom Reed, with
the request that he take measures to pre-
vent the bill from becoming law.
EX-Postmaster Lewis left for Wash
ingtou today to Counteract whatever bad
effect the action of the negroes might
have.
From a dispatch received from Senator
Gordon, the above is not the only menace
against the exposition bill 1t seems that
il is again in the hands of q conference
committee and there is a serious hitch that
endangers the passage of the bill by the
House. where it will have 10 20 again
Telegrams have since been received from

gently suggesting that committee be

BLUEJAoKErs IN BLUEF1ELDs.
The American and British Warships
Have Forces in the Town.

Washington, Aug. 9--The acting Sec
retary Of tne Navy received a dispatch
to-day from Capt. Sumner, commanding
the Columbia, which was telegraphed
from New Orleans on the arrival of yes
terday's steamer from Bluefelds. Capt
Summers report is exceedingly brief He
says he has landed quite a force from the
two American ships and that men have
also been landed from the British war
vessels. The American force will
be maintained ashore as long as
affairs are unsettled. He says he
does not anticipate any serious
trouble, ana seems TO look for a speedy
termination Of the difficulty between the
Nicaraguans on the one side, and the
Mosquito Indians and negroes on the
other The impression is gained by the
naval officers from the dispatch that the
NicaraRuans, who have now concentrated
a considerable force at Bluefields, will
continue masters of the situation, and
that very little resistance will in future
be offered by the supporters of Chief
Clarence. 1t is thought likely that either
the Marblehead or Colum bia Will be re-
lieyed from duty on the Mosquito coast
in the course Of a week or ten days.

Washington, Aug. 0.--It is officially con

cognition TO the Republic of Hawaii so
far as he had a right TO do so, but that

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
Platt Opposes Bill to Give Ex-Con-
fsderates Land Warrants.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Senate seems
to have reached that condition of apathy
and WEAKNESS that units it for any Sc
rious legislative business which is not
connected with the final disposition Of the
tarih bill and the winding up of the long
session. TO-day's sitting came to a close
at ;40 O'Clock, and part Of the time had
oeen given to the consideration of exec
utlNe business. Nothing of any public in
terest marked the brief legislative day.
Ihe House bill to repeal in part and to
limit section of the revised statutes
under which bounty land warrants are
refused 10 eX soldiers OF tho Mexican
war who afterward served in the CON
federate army, gave rise TO some discus
sion, Mr.. George, dem, of Mississippi,
who moved to take the bill from the cal
endar, explained its purpose and said
that II would apply TO very few persons.
PLATT OPPOSES IT.
That Wow Of the case was contradicted
by MIR. Platt, rep, of Connecticut,
who said that the bill would
apply, not TO n few, but to thous-
ands of such old Mexican soldiers and
their heirs. He confessed his surprise that
there should be an attempt TO take up
measures and rush them through IN
what all hoped would be the closing
hours OF the session. Those old
Mexican soldiers had been treated
generously. They had been given pea
sious, even though they had not been
sixty days in service, and had never seen
the enemy This bill was simply to give
them, in addition, land warrants, which
would be worth 500 in cash. He moved
TO postpone the bill till the first Monday
in December next.
Mr.. Hill remarked that the bill simply
removed legislative punishment from a
few old men.
The discussion was interrupted by a
motion submitted by Mr., Gray, dem, of
Delaware to proceed to the consideration
OF executive business, and at 10 o'clock
the gallo IS were cleared, the doors
closed anu an executive session entered
upon. AT 40 O'Clock the Senate ad-
iouTned until tomorrow.

Those known to be killed are the con-
ductOr, engineer and fireman, three COM
