EAlous JoHNNlEs CAUSED THEIR ARREST


 tional congress adopted a resolution to- day favoring reciprocity between the United States and the South American and Central American countries. There was very little discussion on the subject, the farmers being much of one mind. This action is in part due to the address es yesterday of Senor Yanes of Venezuela and Mr Bates of Chicago.
 Monday will be a day of debate. The committee on resolutions has volume of financial resolutions to act on. doz- en members have presented free silver and bimetallic resolutions and there will be very determined, effort to have some measure of that kind adopted by the congresses. The outlook Is that the con- gress will strongly indorse either free silver coinage outright or demand an in- terna tional bimetallc convention.
 Officers were elected today IS follows: President, H. F. Clayton of Iowa general vice-president, G. M. Ryals of Georgia secretary, John M. Stahl; treasurer, Hen- ny Hayden of Iowa. -..,...

 The nine Chinese beauties, who were taken from the Chinese village at the exposition last week on the ground that
 
 detained here for immoral purposes, were before United States Judge Newman to- day. Habeas corpus proceedings had been begun at the instance of two laun- drymen in the city, who declared that the women were held as slaves at the exposition. Leo, the girl who said that they were actresses in China and hold similar positions in the Chinese village here, testified that they all came to this country voluntarily. Their engagement Is for the exposition they stated. They get $6 week, and are now presenting a tragedy. entitled the Lovers Revenge. Leon, Lam and Owyang, the concession aires for the village, say that the action was brought by two jealsous Chinese Johnnies here in Atlanta, whom the girls had declined to know! As it appeared that the beauties came voluntarily and all expressing the desire to continue their engagement, Judge, sNewman remanded the girls into the custody of the conces- sionaires. -5 .i-Sse 2ef
