GOV. ATKINSON AT WASHINGTON.
He is in the City ON Private Business
but Visits the Capitol.

Washington, March 1.-Gov. Atkinson
was a conspicuous visitor upon the floor
of the Senate chamber to-day. He at
tracted much attention from senators in
both sides of the chambers because of his
striking resemblance to Gen. Wathau of
Mississippi, who was formerly a senator
from that state and who is elected 10 a
seat in the Senate after March 4. Gov.
Atkinson is here on purely private bust
ness. While at the capitol the governor
met a number of Georglans in addition
to the members of the congressional del
egation, Mrs Senator Gordon Dr. W. T.
Newman, Miss Kate Wale Barrett, and
several other young ladies and gentle
men, who were sightseeing happened

nor entered with Senator Walsh. Presen-
tauons followed and a pleasant inter-
change of conversation about home
folks" and home affairs followed
The governor afterward went upon the
floor of the Senate, wherezhe- was intro
duced to many of the leading senator's
upon both sides of the chamber He
afterwards went over to the House, where
he also received something of an ova-
ton.
He informed the Morning News CORE
Epondent that the people of Georgia are
bending their best energies toward maxi
ing great success of the Atlanta expo
sition and they are too busy with other
matters to devote much time or atten-
ton to politics. AS far as national politics
are concerned, he says the people of
Georgia, as rule, are disguised with the
present congress and there will be but
few regrets when it expires. He says he
is not at all interested in the closing ex-
ercises of congress. and it is a matter of
utter Indifference to him what they do
now. They have disregarded nearly all
of their pledges made to the people at the
last presidential election and the sooner
they adjourn and go home the better will
they please the average citizen.
The governor expects to be here for
several days.
