SENATORSHIP FIGHT SLOWER.
JUDGEsHTP AND SOLICIToRsHIPs
GIVEN THE FLOOR.

Legislators Slow to Line In on the,
Senatorial Lines For Fear of Hurt
frS the Chances of Their Candt-
dates For the Judicial PIums-The
Battle Expected to lie on Again
To-day in Full Force.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 29.-very little was
done to-day in the senatorial campaign.
The only advance in the situation was the
opening up of the Clay headquarters, this
morning. All five of the candidates now
have their rooms for conference and en-
tertainment. The contests for judges and
solicitors kept the senatorship in the back
ground.
Few of the members would give any ex-
preston at all to their sentiments on ac-
count of the effect that might be had on
the chances of their candidates for Judge
or solicitor. Wherever a member openly
esposed the cause of any one of the SEN
atorial candidates, his candidates for
judge and solicitor were at once singled
out for attack by the friends of the other
candidates. As a consequence of this the
senatorial aspirants were given the day
in which to map out plans for the fight
that will be on in all its fury with the ris-
Ing of to-morrow's sun. BY tomorrow
night 1t is expected that the candidates
win have a pretty fair idea of each others
strength, as well as the vote that is not
committed.
The adjournment for the election Is ex-
pected to have a decided effect upon the
result, as 1t will give the members an OPP
portunity to learn the preferences of their
constituents. All the candidates claim that
this is what they want, as all profess to
believe that they are the choice of the peo-
pie. If it were left q them.
On account of the fact that the fight
from the outset was the field against Gov
Atkinson. there has been a good deal of
talk Indicative of a combination in the
field 1t has been reported that all the can
didates of the opposition we're in fact fight
ing in the interest of Capt. e. p. Howell
with the understanding that they should
throw thor strength to him at the proper
time. To-day, however, this is emphaticaly
denied by all the candidates, including
Capt. Howell. They all declare that they
are making the race for themselves and
not for anybody else. II this is true, when
the breakup comes there will not be a
landslide for anybody unless 1t be for Gov.
Atkinson, whose friends are already at
work getting commitals for second choice.
They expect a nomination on the first
ballot they say but like good politicians
are preparing for emergencies.
Ex-senator Walsh of Augusta was ex-
pected to arrive to-day but did not put in
an appearance.

Yesterday on a warrant for wife beating,
sworn out by the woman before Justice
Wickham.

rived, and they will probably turn out In

James Buckley and Frank Campos had
a row in the Palace saloon on Bull street
last night over politics. 1t was reported
one of them shot at the other. The two
men were arrested and taken to the bar
racks. No charges Of shooting were pre-
ferred at the barracks, however.
The stock of Emile A. Schwarzs Sons,
recently placed in the hands Of a receiver,
but afterwards turned back over TO the
sheriff under mortgage Fl. fas., by the
superior court, will be sold at public out
cry by Sheriff John T. Roman before the
court house this morning.
There are still no indications of any let
up In the warm spell. No decided change
in the temperature is predicted for to-day,
but generally fair weather is looked for.
The maximum temperature yesterday was
rs degrees, and the minimum Sc degrees,
the mean being y degrees, or 8 degrees in
excess of the normal.
The Electric Railway Company has
been authorized, by an order from Judge

CHICAGO GAS TRUSTS SURPLUS.
A Possibility That S2,Ooo,oOO May BE
Divided Among the stockholders.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 29.-Judge Gibbons
this morning entered an order in the gas
trust litigation, which has been pending
in the circuit court for several years, by
which the dividends which have accumu-
lated from the profits Of the companies
since the early part of 1895. are TO be paid
to the actual stockholders Of the COM
panies
The order as entered was practically
consent order, the attorney general who
is the leading factor in the fight, making
no resistance to 1t. The order also pro-
vides that Frederic p. Olcott, Anthony w.
Brady and Walton Ferguson, to whom the
stock of the companies was transferred
under the decree entered by Judge Wlndes,
can also receive any dividends coming to
them as trustees.
The amount to be distributed among
the shareholders Is somewhat problemau-
cal. 1t has been rumored that the cash
available for dividends amounts to $1,000,
900, which would make a disbursement
of per cent. 1t is doubtful however,
if this sum will be distributed at once.
Attorney General Moloney's principal
objection to the corporation was that its
directors were trying to effect complete
and solid unification with other COM
panies.
The present controlling power in Gas
certificates is the Flower syndicate of
New York. A few months ago certain
members Of the pool became discouraged
and sold out their stock, bringing the
price under so. Within the past two
months. however, the pool has been re-
enforced and the stock has since been
steadily climbing

AN APPEAL TO THE VOTERS.
EVERY MAN URGED TO GO TO THE
POLLS AND CAST HIS BALLOT.

Leaders of the Democratic Cam
paign Declare That the People
Have Won In the Preliminary
Battle with the PIutOcracy-Men
in Good Health Who Fail to Vote
Declared Purchased or Unworthy
of American Citizenship.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The following call
quarters:
Oct. 20, 1Ss6-To the Voters of the United
States: In the preliminary battle of the
people against the plutocracy the people
have already won. In spite of an expen-
diture of money so large that the civil
lied world stands appalled, at its magni-
tude, to-day a large majority of the people
of the United States are in open revolt
against the merciless gold standard, and
the domination of the country by the
syndicated wealth of Europe and Amer
lea, interested in securing or preventing
legislauo and in controlling the execu-
tion of the laws in their interests. All
that is necessary to secure the registering
of the peoples will, Is to see that every
voter comes to the polls and casts an I'M
purchased ballot. Many of the millions
controlled by the syndicates nave been
reserved for election day. Beaten at every
point, the last resort of money is to buy
the ballot of the voter by purchasing his
absence from the polls, or to coerce his
vote by intimidation. To prevent this is
possible if every patriot will do his duty.
Every member of club must go to the
polls early in the morning of election day
cast his ballot and remain there until the
polls close and the result is announced
Take care that every voter gets to the
polls and casts his vote. Note down the
names of every absent voter. Let 1t be
known that the citizen who fails to vote,
unless prevented by extreme Illness, has
either been purchased by the money of
the corruptionists, or is otherwise I'M
worthy to be called a citizen. All the
signs indicate the overwhelming triumph
of the people, and to no organizations is
more credit due for this than to the clubs,
the peoples organizations, created for no
selfish purposes and battling for the lib
critics of the people as in the days of their
founder the illustrious author of the de-
claration of independence.
James K. Jones, Chairman National
| Democratic Committee.
Charles J. Faulkner, Chairman Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee.

A CYCLONE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Houses Demolished and Trees Up
rooted in Lafayette County.

rooted in Lafayette County.
Oxford Miss, Oct. ga terrible cy-
clone passed through the eastern portion
of Lafayette county this afternoon, de-
molishing farm-houses and uprooting trees
of all sizes. The news has just reached
here through Hon. w. V. Sullivan, con-
gressional candidate and T, j. Harkns.
Mr.. Sullivan had been speaking at Tula,
and was returning to Oxford. They were
driving a double team in buggy. The
wind lifted their buggy, horses and all,
and carried them some 200 yards. The
buggy was utterly demolished by falling
timber. But neither men nor horses were
seriously hurt though the men had part
of their clothing blown away.
The storm passed through the edge of
the town of Delay, and demolished sew
eral houses. The house of Milton Esk-
ridge was blown away, but his wife and
several children miraculously escaped with
but slight bruises. The extent Of the dam
age cannot be given. but no casualties
have as yet been reported. Not a tree
was left standing in the cyclones path

Prices Leap Up and Down Like "A

Pr1ces Leap Up anu Down Like u
Jumping Jack.
Chicago, Oct. cit was a feverish day
with wheat traders on Change, and price
changes were frequent and vigorous, the
gain at one time being 21zc per bushel.
The cable news added to the enthusiasm
this morning, Liverpool being quoted at
an advance of 11ad. Other cable messages
from that place referred to the big bust
ness done yesterday in California wheat
for English account. Seven cargoes in all
were taken, five of them for Australia and
one each for Calcutta and the cape. In ad-
dition to the English advices, New York
shortly after the opening wired that both
England and the Continent were liberal
buyers of wheat futures. Added to these
reports were kilograms stating that the
northwest markets were stronger even
than those of Chicago and st. Louis.
But at noon New York reported a ire
mendous appreciation in the price of
money, together with statistics from Min
neapolis and Duluth, showing an increase
in receipts there. Consequently wheat
was for sale, and the price broke cents
from the earlier figures. A return of the
money scare seized the crowd, however,
and another reaction took place. When
the bell rang, at the close of the day 5
business, the net gain in the principal
cereal had been about 1c over yesterday S
figures. The market was lively enough to

Four States Represented and Great
Enthusiasm shown.

Canton, O., Oct. 29-The delegations
calling uopn Maj. Mckinley to-day were
small, but sufficiently numerous and by no
means lacking in enthusiasm. The APP
proach of the election seems at last to
have an effect upon the size of the dele
cations There was a good deal of varie-
ty, too, about the visitors to the republ-
can candidate to-day. Four states were
represented and one delegation was COM
posed of women, who came on stylish

words he uttered were greeted with
storms of cheers.
The largest delegation of the day came
from Hancock and Seneca counties, Ohio.
There were nearly 1000 persons in 1t,
headed by H. z. Grouse of the Findlay
Renuhlican. The next delegation was
from Columbus, o., and the mining region
of Ohio, the Hooking Valley. The c. L.
Kurtz club of Columbus, with the Sew
enteenth Regiment band, U. S. A, led the
