President Cleveland Starts the Machinery
from Gray Gables.
ATLANTA, Sept. 1s.-fhis morning at 6
O'Clock the gates of the Cotton States In
ternatiOnal exposition were thrown ajar
for 100 days. Until the bells in the chimes
in the tower toll the knell of the dying
year the exposition gates will BE- open TO
the world. Half Of the nations of the
Garth were represented in the procession
during the day, and the most prominent
speakers of the country addressed the null
titude that gathered in the Auditorium to
witness the formal inaugural exercises.
A wire had been put in from Buzzard's
Bay, the telegraph station for Gray Gables,
the home Of President Cleveland, and an
other wire had been put in from the Audi
forum to the Machinery building. When
the time for touching the button arrived
the wires were cleared and an operator in
the Auditorium notified another operator
at Gray Gables The wire running into
Machinery building had been connected
with two electric machines attached to
valves on the big Prick engine which
drives the shafting Of the machinery and
the valve on the largest water pump.
As soon as the president closed the
electric circuit the valves were opened
and steam poured into the engines. AS

GOOD WITNESS FOR WALLER.
Evidence That Will show That the Ex-Cou
sui Has Been Outraged

sui Iecu outraged
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S-Mr Langston,
of counsel for cxConsul Waller and Paul
Bray, step-son of the latter, have received
letters from Waller showing that his
health is improving slightly. As the adj
vices received here are to the effect that
the record of the court martial in this case
cannot possibly reach Paris before the
22nd. inst. at the earliest, the statement
of n French newspaper that Walters case
is hopeless is entirely discredited here. An
important witness In Walters behalf, and
one who, it is alleged, can be relied upon
to prevent any ''doctoring" Of the court
martial record, will start for the United
States in a few days from London.
This is L. g. Woodford, civil engineer
and an American citizen who was in
Madagascar at the time OF the Waller
trial, and is fully conversant with all of
the facts. Woodford has made a concise
report already to Secretary Olney Of all
the facts as they fell under his obscrv,i-
ton, and while his statement does not ac-
quit Waller of errors of Judgment it is
said that it does show that he was inno-
cent Of any crime and that he has been
Outragcously treated.
