FAKIRS BOUND FOR CUBA.
They Will Join the Insurgents Exposi- tions Receipts Failed to Meet the
 Expenses.
Expenses.

Atlanta, Jan. Many of the side walk fakirs who have been selling sou venirs of the exposition are going to Cu- ba to join the insurgents. More than 100 have left here this week. They propose to fight until the insurgent army enters Havana, and then they will sell liberty" badges. There seems, to be large num- Der of adventurers passing through here for Cuba. .
 The work of breaking up the exposition began this morning. Exhibitors were busy packing. All the buildings re- mained open, however, except the gov ernment's. Fifty-nine Chinamen left this afternoon for San Francisco. The Chi nese women went away some time ago. Leon Lam, the concessonaire, says that the Chinese village lost money. Thirty bull-fighters left today for Mexico. They had an unprofitable engagement, too, be- cause the exposition would not allow them to give exhibitions of bull-fghting. The expositions receipts will hardly meet the expenses, but the deficit is small The exact amount has not yet been as certained. s

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
It Will Meet Today and Consider the Bond
 Bill

It Will Meet Today and Consider the Bond
 Bill.
 Washington, Jan. 1.-The senate com mittee on finance will hold it's first meet ing under the reorganization tomorrow.
 The best judges of the situation con- sider that the bond bill will be consid- cred in committee.
 MT. Wolcott of Colorado, one of the new men added to the committee has not been in Washington this winter ow- ing to i'll health but his absence makes no difference, the silver men still having a working majority of two in committee and a clean majority in the senate of ten or twelve.
 It is probable that the tariff bill will be reported to the senate without amend- ment. Republican senators hope to see the bill pass the senate as it came from the house. It is believed that the presi- dent will veto it, and it is thought by re- publicans to be good politics to put the president where he will be compelled to veto a measure that is intended to in crease the receipts and provide adequate revenue. Whether republicans can be lined up on this proposition and per suaded to not insist upon amendments is a question no one can yet answer. It is not unlikely that after the bill is re- ported a republican caucus will be held to discuss the subject and agree upon a policy.
 Owing to the reorganization of the sen ate committee there has been a change in the clerks, many of those serving here tofore as private secretaries becoming clerks at increased salaries. There has been quite a rush to be sworn in

Germain and his brother appeared at the reception with @ woman, whom they introduced Mrs. Jean Germain. During the reception the Germains were requested to withdraw from the club. They asked Rountree for an explanation, which he declined to give Thereupon Albert handed Roun- tree his card. Albert claims that he has fought four Partisan duels and wants to try another. Rountree will not make any statement about the matter. It is said though, that he concluded he had made a mistake in giving Germain card to the club. Rountree was mixed up in an affair with Dr. Willis Vest moreland in the Casino, New York, about a year ago, and a duel was looked for, but it did not occur.
