INQUIRY ABOUT THE TEXAS.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The inquiry
which is proceeding at the New York
navy yard, behind closed doors, into the
circumstances under which the Texas
sank at her dock recently, it is reported
here, has brought to light a further
startling structural weakness in the ship.
III was noted here, with surprise, that
the telegraphic reports of the sinking of
the Texas showed one engine room filed
through, the water tight doors closing it
off from the adjoining engine room. This
led to investigation and it has been found
that the bulkheads separating the ship
into supposedly water-tight compart-
ments are so light they spring under the
pressure of water and cause great leaks
Although the magazine is separated from
the engine rooms by a continuous bulk
head, without a door opening, it was
soon filed by the water which ran around
the edges and through the seams of the
metal. A naval expert is authority for the
statement that, if the Texas sea valve
had broken as it did, out at sea, the vessel
would surely have foundered, owing to
the failure Of the bulkheads and doors.

Governor Atkinson Withdraws
From the Race.
NO ACTION TILL MONDAY
Steve Clay Had Almost Reach
ed the Goal.
THE n. r. INFLUENCE ATTACKED o
Great Excitement Caused by the Cir
cuIation of an Anonymous Circular
Supposed to be Aimed at
Howell and Clay.
Howell and Clay

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 13.-GovernoT Al
kinson al 2 o'clock this afternoon an
nounced his retirement from the Senator
ial race. This leaves the contest between
Clay and Howell, unless a dark horse
is introduced which is unlikely. 1t is
expected that Atkinson's strength win
be thrown to Clay.
The caucus met at o'clock. The
first ballot resulted: Clay, 81; Howell,
"a; Lewis, IS; Girard. II. The next bal
lot, the thirtieth, resulted: Clay, II, How
ell, 56; Lewis, %; Girard, 4; Berner, 4.
The caucus then by vote of so to 81, ad-
journed until Monday
The sensation Of yesterday was the dis
tribution about the capitol of a circular
charging that railroad influence is at
work for Howell, Clay and Hon. Flem-
ing Dubignon, who is considered a pos
sible dark horse. Mr.. Dubignon is un-
derstood to be managing Clay's cam
paign. The circular says in part:
Corporation influence appears to be
the strongest single power in the contest
for Senator. While the people were
fighting for free silver last summer. the
railroads were carrying on a campaign
to elect Legislators to serve them. They
are now working to elect United States
Senator to represent them in the highest
legislative body on this earth. Do you
not see their hand? It is plain to all OBJ
servers.
"IIas Georgia Legislature ever be-
fore been so insulted as you have been
by the Southern Railway Company
notice posted in the peoples capitol, tell
ing their representatives that they can
get a crumb from the Southern's table
by calling, hat in hand, and asking it's
attorney for the crumb. You should
have torn the insulting, degrading invita-
tion into shreds and called on the author
for an apology.
Democrats are watching you with
painful anxiety. Populsts are drawing
comfort from the situation. They are
waiting to see you elect a railroad man,
a director, an attorney, or agent of cor
porations as Senator from Georgia. If
you do, you will have ample time in pri-
vate life to repent your folly, and the
Democrats will have before them the
hardest fight they have ever had in
Georgia to retain control of the govern
ment. If you elect such man, you will
breed many thousands of Populists and
Tom Watson will make fioorcloth Of
your party.
"You were elected as bimetallists. You
came here to record the peoples judg-
ment in favor of a bimetallist, chosen by
them in their primaries, Judge Crisp-Do
you imagine yOu can escape fiery indigna-
ton, if you disregard the will and judg-
ment expressed by majority never De
fore given in any contest in Georgian

the Central of Georgia Railroad Com

Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
| say:
mo one now doubts that the brighter
| day is dawning and it is the common
remark that never before has business
/ shown so great change for the better
within single week. Dispatches telling
/ of about FIVE hundred establishments
| which have opened or have materially
| enlarged their force, though they fill
many columns, give only part of the fact,
| for throughout the country the gain has
| been surprising even to the most hope
full. 1t is not mere speculation or hope
which lights the fires and start the
wheels, for orders y hich have been ac-
cumuiating for months with the neces-
sary replenishment Of dealers stocks now
greatly reduced, would employ the whole
producing force for a time, and the in
| crease in number of hands at work means
increase In purchases for consumption.
Foreign need Of American wheat con-
tinues an important factor and the price
has advanced to IS cents, gaining cents
for the week, 10 cents for two weeks and
a cents since early in September. The
price is the highest since June, 1892
Western receipts were only 4,494.O0,
against S, ,202,S ,SG4 last year, hut the cleo
ton cut off much work during the days
in which these receipts were started to
market. There has not been much gain
In the demand as yet.

New York, Nov. 49, Bradetreet's to-
morrow will say;
"The volume Of business improves
slowly in nearly I'll lines. The most active
demand is among jobbers In dry goods.

hardware, and in leading industrial lines,
nearly 200 mills having started up this
week, one-half of them in iron, steel, ma

1870 other industrial establishments have
increased working forces or working
| hours, or both. among them nineteen iron
and steel establishments, ten glass works
and four factories, each making lamps,
clocks, wooden goods and cotton.
Demand for iron and steel has not
increased after the activity OF week
ago. but prices are firm-in some instances
advanced-and the trade continues con-
| fdent of large business during the
coming year.
"Cotton and cotton goods continue
| firm and unchanged in price: print cloths
