THE GEORGIA CAMPAIGN.
Atkinson Makes Strong Speech in the
Center of Democratic Disaffection.

<lUhlASOu MINUS IL CUrOuR SDeeCn III the
Center of Democratic Disaffection.
Savannah, Ga, August 1S.-Governor
Atkinson opened the campaign for BRYAN
and SCwall, as well as his own campaign
for reelection as governor, by speech
here tonight, which aroused great en-
thusiasm. Savannah has been regarded
as center of Democratic disaffection,
many prominent citizens having publicly
announced their intention of voting for
Mckinley.
Governor Atkinson made n strong an.
peal to those whom he termed Cleveland
Democrats. The main part of his speech
was endorsement and support of free
coinage. The campaign for silver, he de-
clared, was II campaign that is being
mainly fought by the masses While
there are many wealthy and broad
minded men aiding the movement for
financial emancipation, it is the battle of
the common people, and never yet have
the common people failed to triumph in
the end. Free coinage of silver, he de.
clared, would put new vigor into every
channel of trade and renewed life into
every struggling enterprise. The man
opposed to free coinage is either design
edly or ignorantly working to obliterate
silver entirely, and make the country de-
pendent solely on gold as primary money.
referring to his own candidacy Gov
ernor Atkinson said that he was unqual-
ifiedly opposed to again leasing convicts
on such terms as would leave them at
the mercy of the private individual. He
was also opposed to convict labor being
brought, through it's products, in com
petition with skilled, honest labor. He
advocated measures putting all chain
gangs under State supervision, and pro-

TURNED THE TABLES.

Washington, August 18-The French
people who have for SO long imposed
upon credulous American public by
shipping back to them as the finest of
French products Maine herring and
Southern cotton seed oil in the shape of
sardines and olive oil, are now suffering
from counter imposition which is
brought to light by United States Consul
German at Zurich. In the course of a
report to the State Department on the
subject of American dried fruits in
Switzerland, he speaks of the success that
has attended the introduction in France
last season of California prunes and then
following out the prospect thus opened
up, he says that the French receivers are
arranging to have all such fruit packed
in similar cases to those used in France
and bearing French marks, so tina. the
goods may be sold to the retailer as
French fruit.

Bryan's chance of election to the Pres

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Lord Salisbury Has Yielded to Secretary
Olney on Crucial Point.

Olney on Crucial Point.
Washington, August 1S-The cable re-
port from London that Lord Salisbury
has yielded to Secretary Olney on the
crucial point of the Venezuela negotia-
tions, that of including the settled por-
tions of the disputed tract in the pro-
posed arbitration is regarded rs an imnor.
tant development by those Interested in
the subject. This Inclusion of the 'set-
tied districts" has been the chief obstacle
in the way of arbitration, so that if the
report of the removal is confirmed the
two governments appear to be nearer to
an amicable agreement than at any time
since trouble began.
Lord Salisbury, from the first, has in
sisted that this settled district was SOW
ereign British soil, which could not be
subjected to the Judgment of arbitrators.
Secretary Olney has urged that the omis-
sion of this settled portion from arbitra-
ton would defeat the whole scope of the
arbitration, as the unsettled or worthless
sections were not what Venezuela con-
tended for. The latest view of this phase
was presented in Il bIief by Mr. Storrow.
lawyer of Boston, of whose ability Mr..
Olney has high opinion. Mr. Sorrows
brief was laid before the Venezuelan
commission as part of the Venezuela
case, but aside from this it is known that
It's line of argument was similar to that
taken by the Secretary of State. Mr..
Storrow pointed out that the "settled
district" was in fact but little settled:
that the number of British colonists
there was comparatively insignificant
that ''their improvements on which
Lord Salisbury had laid much stress,
were of the most meager and
primitive kind, and that the wi ole
money value of existing British set
Elements, houses, improvement, etc,
would be comparatively small sum.
From this the conclusion was drawn that
these so-called settled districts should
not stand in the way of the adjustment
of SO large question There has been
no intimation that this view was shared
by the British authorities until the cable
dispatch stating that, on what is believed
to be the inspired authority of the Brad
ford Observer, that the point was con-
coded by Lord Salisbury.
The further suggestion is made that
cash payment will be made for the i'm
provements of the British settlers in case
Venezuela is awarded the territory, but
no reference is made as to who will paw
the indemnity, although it is construed
here to mean that Great Britain will
mollify those of her subjects who are dis
possessed.

Richmond Took the Second One From
Roanoke Yesterday.
Richmond took the second game of
ball yesterday afternoon from the Magi-
clans.
Malarkey and Coons were the opposing
pitchers, and while the latter was hit
freely, they were kept so we'll scattered
that but four earned runs was the result.
Malarkey kept the locals guessing and
up to the fifth inning nothing resembling
q hit had been made. In the eighth
Coons was presented with four had balls
and went to first. Fleming and Lynch
both singled and with the bases full and
nobody out Wrigley flew out to Groves,
who made bad throw to first. The ball
was blocked and every man on the
bases scored. These were the only runs
scored, and saved the locals from shut
out.
The team is still in demoralized con-
dition, and cannot win from the stronger
teams of the State. The following tells
the story:

OPINIONS IN WAsHINGToN.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Index-Appeal in yesterdays
paper says Col. f. Cuthbert, the Dis
patch's correspondent at Washington,
spent to- day here. He says nearly every
body about the national capital believes
Bryan will be elected, and office holders,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats, are
piling over each other to get in the silver
band wagon. Colonel Cuthbert says that
he does not remember having seen any,
thing that approaches the interest in this
contest. 1t is the opinion of most of the
newspaper men at Washington that
Bryan will sweep the country.
