ATLANTA, Ca, June 22-The Georgia
POpulists gave q strange performance
here to-day in convention designed
in the brain of Tom Watson for the
purpose of demoiishing Marion Butler
as leader. At the last hour Watson
failed to put in an appearance, and the
smallest gathering Of Georgia Pop
ulists held since the party bad its birth
in the State dragged out weary.after-
noon of dull proceedings, doing n0t h
ing which seriOu 81 y menac es the furure
of Chairman Butler II r. Il
About POO delegates were present,
and there was an undercurrent of Op-
position to Watson, which manifested
itself in several minor questions of
policy. Some time was taken in a
heated debate over cOntesting delega
tions, and the matter was finally set
tied by seating both delegations.

OF striking miners was to-day placed
under strict military government. Is
will be continued until the camps are
abandoned
The members the district executive
board were placed at each camp. These
men are to receive instructions from Do
Ian and Warner and no further general
move is to be made unless general con-
ference is held
Secretary Warner is experiencing DIFF
hculty in getting provisions. The de-
mand for bread is so~great that the local
bakeries were unable to meet the orders
placed this morning. As result the
camp at Plum Creek will be short on ra-
tions.
This evening President Dolan issued
a general order, appointing Edward Nc
Kay general manager Of Camp Determin-
alton, and empowered him to make ar
rests and eject all persons under the in
fiuence Of intoxicants, of trespassing ON
the premises of the camp.
The order urgently requests all miners
to respect the law in the future as in the
past and strictly prohibits them from
trespassing on the property of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company.
During the afternoon Edward MrcKay
and Paul Trimmer were arrested on
charges of riot and unlawful assem-
blages. They were released on bail.
1t was rumored this afternoon that the
fourth pool operators are to take adyaut-
age of the siege of De Armitt's mine
and start the mines along the Mononga-
hela. The Charles Jutte Company, Tide
Coal Company and Elizabeth Coal Com
more OF orators are contemplating ask
ing for sheriff's posse to guard their
mines before they place non-union men
in their mines. The miners officials say
they will have little trouble in getting
these men out if they succeed in closing
De Armitt's mines.
Mr.. De Armitt is confident the strikers
cannct wholly shut down his mines and
AYERS that change will come over the
scene within the next few days, although
he does not say how this is to be brought
about. Mr.. De Armitt intimated he
would soon spring the injunction against
the miners, which was granted May 25,
1898, and which was sustained by the
Supreme court after the Superior court
had reversed the lower court. This in
junction which was issued against John
Cairns, Cameron Miller, Patrick Dolan,
Owen Cruz, VIM. Warner and others
was made perpetual and restraints the
defendants from assembling and encamp-
ing upon the highways, roads and prem
ises adjoining the mines of the plaintiff,
or in the vicinity of the same for the
purpose of intimidating and preventing
the plaintiffs miners from working, etc.
Mr.. De Armitt would not say so, but
judging from his remarks, it is believed
he expected that Sheriff Lowry will call
on the Governor for troops to disperse
the strikers.
In published statement tonight, w.
+. De Armitt said that anything tending
TO stop the output of the Pittsburg
mines necessarily resulted in the advant-
age of the mines Of West Virginia, and
it was currently reported and generally
believed that the West Virginia opera
tors contributed $4,000 through the
leaders and officials of the United Mine
Workers of America for the purpose of
making a strike in the mines of Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania.

MANILA's FRIGHTFUL MESS.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 3-Follow-

dated Manila, June 9:
"Things are in a frightful mess.
Spanish dollars. have been introduced at
one per cent less value than Mexican.
Everybody wants to sell out. Native
brokers are all over the place trying to
sell houses, horses, carriages, furniture,
and estates with no buyers.
I'm the sugar provinces, the cane
plants are being burned up for lack of
rain. Paddy is being attacked by In
sects and in the nogthern rice provinces
locusts are eating It up. A few days
ago about 40 miles from Manila a train
was stopped owing tG the immense mass
of locusts on the track.
Fighting is still going on in several
provinces and the papers here say moth
ing about it, which looks bad. The pa
pers have not even mentioned a single
glorious victory"

MAYOR COOKS SPEECH OF WELCOME
A Forecast of Officers to Be Elected With
lanes D. McNeIl for President
Convention to Continue
Through Thursday.
Through Thursday.

Fayetteville, N. c., Aug. 3.-(SpeciaD
The ninth annual convention of the
North Carolina State Firemen's Asso-
ciation commenced to-day and will con-
tinue through tomorrow and Thursday.
To-day is only business day for the
convention delegates. Everything is in
confusion; different companies and rae
ing men are constantly arriving. A spe-
cial fireman's train of ten cars came in
this afternoon at o'clock from Green's
boro bringing in the Western North Car
olina companies and racing teams. This
bids fair to be the biggest and best tour
nament ever held in the State and the
largest array of fire apparatus ever seen
in North Carolina will be seen in the pa
rade here tomorrow morning, which,
it is estimated, will be a mile in length.
The Newbern company, of Newbern,
have a new ball-bearing hosewagon
finished in white and gold and is used
for the first time at this tournament.
The MonogOn hose team of Sumter,
South Carolina have very handsome
new ball-bearing hose wagon finished in
green and gold which will be for the
first time used here. There are many
other companies here who have appara-
tus that is worthy of detail. One feat
ure Of this tournament will be the South
Carolina companies; heretofore the tour
naments has been composed solely of
North Carolina companies, there being
no prize lists or other attractions for
out of the State firemen but this time
President McNeill has offered prizes
to the fremen of both States and there
will be prizes for the North Carolina
teams and prizes also for the interstate
entries for which companies from both
States will compete.
The following departments are rep
resented by both delegates racing teams
and fremen Asheville, Charlotte, Con-
cord, Salisbury, Greensboro. Durham,
Raleigh. Wilson. Newbern, Wilmington,
Goldsborro, Winston-Salem, Columbia,
Oranegburg, Sumter, Florence. To-day
in convention President McNeil called
the delegates to order followed by pray
er by the Rev. Isaac Hughes; address
of welcome by Mr. Norris B. Alexander,
OF Fayetteville. Response for the East
ern firemen by Thos. Daniels, of Now
bern; response for the Western firemen
by DIR. Griffith. of Greensboro, and then
Mayor w. s. Cook in his own inimitable
way extended the freedom of the city to
the visiting firemen. Then the conven-
ton proceeded to routine business. At
10 O'Clock p. m, no election of officers
had been reached and it is probable will
not before a late hour tonight, but it
looks and is safe to wager 10 to 1 that
Jas. d. McNeill will be the next presi-
dent. J. G. Niche, the next secretary,
J. w. Griffith, second vice-president,
Thos. A. Green, treasurer. Hurrah for
the North Carolina firemen.

WITH PICKETTS MEN
GRAND ARMY VETERANS INVITE THEM
TO THEIR REUNION.
Not as Victor Meeting Foe but as Brother
Clasping the Hand Of
Brother.

PhIadelPhia, Pa, Auge 3.--At a meet
in the office of Mayor Warwick to-day,
at which the mayor presided, it was
unanimously decided to extend an invi-
tation to Picketts division of ex-Con-
federate soldiers, with headquarters at
Richmond, Va, to attend reunion of
the blue and gray to be held i'll this city
September II and IS next. The mayor
was selected chairman of the meeting.
He said that it was not a question of
victor meeting foe, but rather clasping
the hand of brother over the chasm
which was gradually growing DINNER,
and which would eventually fade away
beneath the glory of one flag, which now
the whole country hOnored. He was
sure that Picketts men would receive
Il glorious welcome here and he would
do his utmost to see that they got here.
After some discussion, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the matter of re-
union between the North and the South
the Blue and the Gray-we most earnest
ly invite the cordial cooperation of the
Philadelphia Brigade, the Grand Army
of the Republic and the people and the
press of this city"
The reunion is held under a resolution
adopted at Washington September 16,
1896, authorizing such a reunion.
At meeting of the Grand Army Re
lief Association few days ago a vote
was taken on the advisability of inviting
Pickett's division to attend a jubilee at
Washington Park near here. 1t was
carried. but the matter was subsequently
dropped on account of the expense at
tached.

SHERMAN SEES JAPANESE BUGABOOS
Believes a Protectorate to Be the Only Way to
Prevent Possible Hostile Action on
the Part of Japan-- The Story
Semi Confirmed.

Saa Francisco, CAL, Aug. 3.-The fol-
lowing from the correspondent of the
Associated Press at Honolulu was re-
seiyed on the steamer Belgic to-day:
.The arrival of the steamship Mona
wal. from San Francisco, due here the
Doth. means much for Hawaii. In Off
cial circles it is generally understood
that the United States Minister, Mr.. Sc
well, will carry out the instruction re-
ceiyed in the last mail, said to be to
This effect: If Monawai brings word
that Congress failed to pass the annexa-
ton treaty Minister Sewell is to declare
a protectorate' anr raise the American
flag. The American minister has had
frecuent consultations with President
Dole within the past week and it is be-
lieyed they have agreed on program
The general impression here is that Con-
gress had decided to let the matter of
annexation wait over until the regular
session. The intervening months would
be long time for this country to stand
out alone in view Of the attitude OF
Japan and Secretary Sherman believed
a protectorate Of the United States is
the only way to prevent possible hostile
action on the part of the Japanese. AS
soon az the Monowai arrives it is I'M
derstood the United States Minister will
notify this government of his intention
to raise the American flag.
