EXPOSITION oRATORY.
Negro College President Invited to
Deliver an Address.

DGlKer an AuOFeHS.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 22-The committee
on ceremonial days for the Cotton States
and International Exposition has under
consideration the programme for the open
ing exercises, on Sept. IS, and it has al
ready been arranged that President Cleve>
land will touch the button at Gray Gables
setting the machinery in motion and I'M
furling the flags on the exposition build
ing.
The committee is now arranging for the
principal address, to be delivered by IAN
orator of national reputation, whose name
is not yet made public.
The board OF directors this afternoon di-
rected the committee on ceremonial days
10 issue an invitation 10 Booker T. Wash
ington, president OF the Tuskegee, Ala,
Normal and Industrial Institute. TO take
part in the exercises of opening day and to
deliver an address on that occasion, thus
recognizing the negro race in the official
programme
Booker T. Washington, the chosen repre-
sentative OF his people who is thus highly
honored by the exposition management, is
one of the foremost educators Of his race,
having been engaged for some time in what
might be called technical education on the
line of chronological schools inaugurated
by the white people. He was one of the
negroes who accompanied the exposition
committee to Washington to appear before
4he congressional committees to ask an
appropriation for the exposition, and his
speech did as much as any TO accomplish
the desired result. He is a comparatively
young man of fine intelligence and is an
orator of considerable power.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-The chief of the
colored department of the Cotton States
and International Exposition, ]. Garland
Penn, has sent out special appeal to
the colored people TO prepare photographs
of their residences and churches for a
home and church exhibit in the negro
building. The design of the exhibit Is to
show the progress made in the home life
OF the negro race from the one-room cabin
of the former days. The negro exhibit
promises to be very representative of the'
educational. Industrial and agricultural
achievements of the race.

DEMAND ron SMALL NOTES.

Localities That Have Need for Them
TO Move the Crops.
Washington, Aug. 22.-Considerable de-
mand is being made on the treasury from
New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago and other
western and southwestern points for small
notes with which to move the crops. The
treasury is well supplied with these de-
nominations, and will furnish the places
asking for them as rapidly as demanded.
The effect will be not only to distribute
money among the people, but at the same
time to build up the treasury gold reserve
by the exchange in which the small notes
invariably take part

SECRETARY SMITHS DENIAL.
Alleged Statement Made by Him 10

MIR. Livingston.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-Secretary Hoke
Smith reached Atlanta last night from
the Virginia sea coast. where he has spent
the past week with his family
With reference to the alleged statement
of Congressman Livingston, recently pub
lished, to the effect that Secretary Smith,
a few days ago in the presence of Con-
gresham Livingston said that "he was
for free silver at 16. to L. and added but
boys, We can't get it," The secretary
stated he had only seen Representative
Livingston once since congress adjourned
That was at Cordele. and that he had no
conversation with him. He stated that
he had said nothing Of the kind attribut-
ed to him, and that the report was so ri
diculous that he scarcely deemed ii worth
while to deny it,
Secretary Smith will remain in Georgia
for the next thirty days, and during that
time will make several speeches on the
financial question. The first will probably
be at Toccoa.
nails this canard Senator Gordon nails
another OF the same order and emanating
practically from the same source Liv-
ingston's Free Silver Ally. published daily
in this city every morning.
Yesterday this paper printed an alleged
special from Washington describing a trip
made by Senator Gordon to Gray Gables,
to urge the President to appoint Secretary
Smith to the supreme bench. The article
which was evidently written in the Office
and placed under a Washington date line
to disguise it. was very sighting in tone
both toward Senator Gordon and Secretary
Smith.
As soon as Senator Gordon saw the
faxed special he made a vigorous denial,
which shows up the malignity of the
thrust at Secretary Smith.
over his own signature, the senator
says: ITO the Constitution Editor: l must
ask you to publish this denial of the re-
port in your issue of to-day purporting
to give the details of a visit by me to

ATLANTA's CITY PRIMARIES.
Proposition TO Advance the Date.
Prohibftfonfsts and the saloons.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 2.-In order TO give
the exposition clear field. without any
distinction on account Of politics. the city
executive committee is now considering the
advisability Of calling a primary to select
the city officers who are elected in De-
eember. before the exposition opens.
These primaries are usually held about
November. but inasmuch as there is likely
TO be an extraordinary scramble among the
Wouid-oe councilmen and aldermen this
year, the executive COMMITTEES believes il
would be wise to have it over before the
Dig SHOW opens up. The recent brush be-
tween the prohibitionists and saloon men
over the proposition 10 extend saloon
hours, has put both elements on their met
tie, but both sides appear to be willing to
nave the light out before the exposition.
The threat Of the prohibitionists that
they would call another prohibition cleo
uon during the exposition. thus striking
a olow below the belt unless they had their
way about the saloon ordinance, has
caused them to be very severely criti-
eised for lack Of patriotism and they are
now apparently anxious TO relieve them
selves OF the charge by joining in with
the movement for the early primaries.

THE EXPOSITION SUED.

a Claim for Damages Amounting to
$1,000.
Atlanta, Aug. 22.-Suit has been brought
against the exposition company in the
United States court by the CIonbrok
Steam Boiler Company of Brooklyn. N. Y,
for damages TO the amount of 81, 600. The
suit is to be heard by Judge Newman, Aug
81 The basis of the suit is that the com
pany had an understanding by which it
was to furnish part of the boiler power for
the exposition, and constructed a boiler
for that purpose. Recently the privilege
of furnishing the boiler power was award
ed exclusively to a Chicago company.

RETURN Of THE INCOME TAX.

Less Than One-Third Of the Claims
Eave Been Filed.
Washington. Aug. &.-Less than one
third Of the claims for the return of the
$1,000 income tax paid in by about 1.4OO
persons, firms and corporations. have been
passed through the auditors once of the
treasury. There is no delay in that Office.
but there is with people who have so far
neglected to file their claims with col
lectors OF internal revenue.
II is said that probably one-third of
those persons who paid the income tax
did SO that they might hurry over 20
Europe and desired TO comply with the
law before their departure. Most of them
have not returned yet.
The treasury department is represented
as anxious to close up the income tax
matter and officials are rather surprised
as the remisSness of those who paid in
not Ming their claims for it's return.

NEW PORT ROYAL DOCK.

Contractors May he Called on TO
Strengthen Parts of 1t.
Washington. Aug. PA. semi-official re-
port regarding the test of the new Port
Royal dry dock, received at the navy de-
partment to-day, indicates that the con-
tractors may be called on TO strengthen
the end containing the gates before the
dock Is finally accepted. The bottom of
the dock is reported as all right, but the
gate ends may require bracing.
Now that the dock is practically ready
for use the question arises as to the depth
of water over the bar in front Of It. The
Indiana, one Of the vessels which il was
intended the dock should accommodate,
will draw. when loaded some p to % feet
of water. Not more than % feet on the bar
at high tide can be depended on, and some
dredging will have to be done before deep
draught ships can safely use the dock.
