solicitors which was begun on Wednesday.
This, with the reading of several new bills

judiciary committee to the elections COM
mttee.
Speaker Jenkins announced that he
would have made ex-State Treasurer
Hardeman chairman of the finance COM
mittee, but Col Hardeman had made
special request of him that he be not given
any craftsmanship at all.
The House authorized the appointment
of two more committees, one on constitu-
tional amendments and the other to con-
slider the convict lease system and make
a report to the House.
Mr.. Knowles Of Fulton to-day introduced
bill appropriating $4,000 to the state
school of technology to build another dor
mitory The school is in such a flourish
ing condition that the dormitory built by
the last legislature is still not sufficient to
accommodate all.
Mai Meldrim to-day received from Col.
Lawton of the First Regiment two i'm
portant military bill, which he will intro
duce at to-morrow's session.
One of these provides for the reorgani-

kinson is elected to the Senate, he will
then announce whether or not he will be
a candidate for governor in opposition to
Gen. Evans, who is now regarded as prac-
tically an avowed candidate in the event
of a vacancy, and not until then will he
say anything about It, regardless of the
efforts that are being made by the OPP
ponents Of the governor to force from
him a declaration of his intention
The opposition has also made every ef-
fort to get Gen. Evans into the race for
senator and thus draw his strength away
from Gov. Atkinson. but he has repeated
ly told them that he would not consent,
and this afternoon he gave out signed
interview which disposes of much of the
talk about the attitude he occupies. In II
he says he has no fear of the result of
another gubernatorial election, but also
declares he is not working either for or
against any candidate. There is no occa-
sion for him to do either he says.
Maj. P. w Meldrim of Savannah to-day
gave an interview on the situation in
which he says: There will have to be
new election for judges of the supreme
court. and the addition to the ticket of the
name of the candidate for governor can
not increase the expenses of the election.
The main objection urged against having
another election is the fear of democratic
defeat. This fear is partly real and partly
assumed. l have no opinion to express
about this assumed fear, except to say
that / am clear that it has an Interior
purpose. AS to the real fear of defeat
l have only to say that when the demo-
cratic party in Georgia is afraid to meet
its enemy in an open field and in a fair
fight then it deserves defeat. The time
for the best and truest to stand together
is not in victory but in facing disaster.
So far as Gov. Atkinson is concerned it
is a matter of no personal consequence to
me whether he is elected to the United
States Senate - remain governor. l am
under no obligation to him, but as a Geor-
gian and a democrat l repudiate the
craven fear that the democratic party in
Georgia is so broken, disorganized and
disspirited that its colors are trailing, not
only in defeat, but in dishonor. In the
hands of a clean, able man those colors
should be born to a splendid victory. To
the populists the olive branch should be
held out. The dissensions among our own
people should cease. Absolute guarantees
of an honest election and a fair count
should be given, and an appeal made to
the good sense and true heart Of the peo-
pie of Georgia. Such an appeal would not
be in vain"
1t is understood that the Chatham del
egation is solidly for Gov Atkinson.

BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA COMPANY.
An Issue of $5,OOO,OO0 New stock
Forced on the stockholders.

London, Nov. 5-An excited and ex-
tremely uproarious meeting Of the direct
ors and shareholders of the British South
Africa Company was held in London this
afternoon, the Duke of Abercorn presid
ing. The Duke OF Fife, Lord Clifford and
Sir Horace Farquhar were among those
in attendance. The shareholders rejected
scheme formulated by the directors for
an underwriting of new shares, and the
result of the vote caused great excite
ment.
Inc Duke of AbercOrn was cheered as
he arose to address the meeting from the
chair The outbreak of the natives in
Rhodesia, he said, had been Jnforseen>and
mad cost heavily, eXhausting the fund of
t9OO,UO in cash which the British South
AFRICA Company had on hand last Febru-
ary The outbreak mad been quelled,
however, the Rinderpest, which had work
cd great havoc in the companys territory,
was abating, and the general outlook had
encouraged the directors to bring forward
the increase of the companys capital by
El,OO,OO0 in shares Of fl each.
Inc duke said he could not discuss the
Jameson raid or the designations of Cecil
Rhodes and Alfred Belt from the directory
or the company until after a parliamentary
commission made an inquiry into the
events which had occurred in South Africa
affecting the company.
The motion to increase the capital of
the company was seconded by the Duke
of Fife.
Shareholder de Pass protested against
the proposed increase, but the Duke of
Abercorn nevertheless declared, amid great
confusion, that the increase had been car
ried.
The duke then moved that the meeting
approve the arrangements which had been
made by the directors to underwrite $500, 600
of these new shares.
The motion was received with Shouts of
dissent and Mr.. dePass moved that the
meeting give direct negative to the I'M
derwriting proposal. Mr. de Pass mo-
ton was carried by a large majority.
When the motion offered by the Duke
of Abercorn was lost the duke said: "Then
l rely upon you to take up the shares"
The uproar was renewed and several
shareholders shouted: Are the new shares
intended to pay Kruger's indemnity?'
Finally it was decided that the new
shares should be issued without underwrit-
ing, the directors saying that they insisted
upon the shareholders subscribing the
money.

SANTA FE AGAIN IN THE SOUP.
Receivership Granted Under a Kan
sas Law.

sas Law.
Topeka, Kans., Nov. 6.-Much to the sur
prise of those connected with railroad in
terests, Judge Louis Myers of the First
district has appointed State Senator
Charles f. johnson of Oskaloosa, Kans., as
receiver for the Santa Fe railway. The APP
pointment of a receiver has been brought
about. it is said, by the men who opposed
the recent reorganization plan of the
Santa Fe This is the second recelvership
for the Santa Fee When the re-organiza-
ton was effected, at a meeting held in
Topeka, the opponents of the re-organiza-
ton plan, headed by Henry Clews & Co.,
and Newman Erb, made a strong effort to
prevent it. However, the stockholders, of
whom B. 2. Cheney, Jr., of Boston, is
leader, secured control of a sufficient num-
Der of votes to carry their plan and the
road was reorganized in accordance with
those plans. The anti-reorganization men
do not show their hands in the present
litigation, but they are charged with being
responsible for it by the friends of the new
company and its officers and attorneys
here.
The action is brought under the Kansas
law of 1891 which provides that no corpor-
alton, more than 20 per centum of which
capital stock is owned by aliens, shall ac-
quire real estate in the state of Kansas,
and that if any real estate should be ac-
CURED in violation of this statute it shall
be forfeited to the state. The statute au-
thorizes any county attorney to bring an
action in the name of the state for such
forfeiture and authorizes and directs the
court to appoint a receiver upon presenta-
ton by the county attorney of verified
petition.
Another charge is made that while the
suit is brought in the name of the state of
Kansas it is actually an action to force the
collection of a private claim against the
al

of Fraud.

Wilmington, Del, Nov. 6.-The session
of the New Castle county board of can
vass in the court house here last night

l07 Fred Bach, representing the repub-
lican committee, objected 50 strenuously

been altered for the purpose of securing
the election of James B. Toman. dem, for

foundation, however. Films election

of the large majority, nearly 1,5OO, by
which the Mckinley electors carried the

serious phase that at 1880 O'Clock this

and the greatest excitement became man
ifest among those who had followed the
canvass Of the vote. Republican police
men, who were on duty at the court
house. were assaulted, it is alleged, by
democratic officers. The trouble soon be-
came general. The democratic police Of
fcers joined the democratic election Of
icers, and, It is alleged. aided in fighting
the republicans. Sergeant of Police Black,
when he attempted to arrest democratic
inspector was set upon by three of the
policemen he led to the court house, and
was beaten about the head. At 3 O'Clock
this morning the trouble had not ended
and three companies of the national guard
were on duty at the armory.
Although apparent that the situation was
critical matters Gained down after 8
O'clock and no further outbreak occurred
The work OF canvassing the vote was then

A Moscow electrician, NJ. Kildischew-
sky, claims to have made very impor-
tant discovery in the improvement of tele-
phonic communication. The essential prin-
ciple of the Improvement is that distance
makes no difference to the carriage or
sound. or. at least, that a telephone com.
munication may be carried over distances
as long as in the case of a telegraphic
current. In the presence of the chief of
telegraphs and the departmental engineer
al Moscow, and using an ordinary teIe-
graph WIRE NJ. Kildischewsky a few days
ago made a very successful test of his
invention by communicating with Rostofr
on the Don, a distance of $50 miles. Ordl-
nary speech, music and singing were
heard with as perfect distinctness as il
the communication were made between
two local Moscow stations. NJ. Kildis-

coed to London TO test his discovery by
