The sessions of the supreme lodge, be-
ginning tomorrow, are likely to be inter
esting throughout. The chief question
for consideration, it is said, will be the
German ritual. Interviews with II
number of supreme lodge chiefs show
the opinion is unanimous in opposing the
restoration of the German ritual.
Another question which is to come up
is the incorporation of the Uniform
Rank. The supreme lodge and the En-
dowment Rank are both incorporated,
and it is insisted that the Uniform Rank
ought also to be incorporated.
The change of the place of meeting
for the supreme lodge from Minneapolis
to this city is likely to be investigated.
At the time the change was made it was
asserted that the refusal of the rail
roads to grant Il cheap rate, one cent Il
mile, was the cause. 1t is now said no
such rate was given for Cleveland.
Some of the Minnesota knights express
Il determination to ascertain what was
the real cause of the change.

NEGOTIATING WITH WATSON.
Promise of Place in the Bryan Cabinet
Would Not Induce Him to Withdraw.

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 24.-The Journal
this afternoon prints. a story which, it
says, comes from source of undoubted
authority, to the effect that the purpose
of Senator Tillman's recent mysterious
visit to Tom Watson at the latters home
in Thompson, was to see if Mr.. Watson
could be induced to retire from the vice
presidential race on the promise of a
place in the Bryan cabinet. The Jour
nails informant, who is democrat Of
high rank, but warm friend and sup
porter of Watson, says there is no doubt
that a tentative offer of such a position
was made, by whose authority it is
known, and very promptly declined.
Mr.. Watson declared that isasmuch as
he accepted the vice presidential nomi-
nation in order to preserve his party or
ganization, he could not surrender it in
exchange for any office whatever.
1t is said similar offer is to be made
to Mr.. Sewall. In this connection it is
noticeable that Mr.. Watson has been de-
claring with confidence of late that he
would be on the democratic ticket inside
of two weeks.

There is more catarrh in this section of

great many years doctors pronounced it

be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

Atlanta. Aug 24.-Thc resignation Of
Secretary Hoke Smith will take effect
September /. Whether his successor
will qualify on that date IS rot known.

on that day and go to Lincoln, \. G.,
where he will spend a few days with his
family, who have been sojournng there.
After a short stay there he will come
to Atlanta and at once "esume his law
practice.
Secretary Smith does not anticipate ac-

planned to several friends. He regards
his step in the Cleveland cabinet as the
strongest action that he could take in
the interests of the regular democratic
nominees. That he will later determine
to speak in the interests of the ticket is
possible.
