About the same time that the down

a CLOSED INCIDENT.
Affair or the Hogansville Postmaster
Practically Adjusted.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The4 Postonice
department Is inclined to consider the
incident of the shooting of the pustmas-
ter at HoGansville, Ga, as closed The
postal officials say that the matter was
exaggerated from the beginning and that
the postmaster. who has returned to his
duties, rs not being made the subject of
further annoyance.
Precautions have been taken to pre-
vent the boycotttng of the office as far
az possible by having mail cars closed
when trains stop at HoganSville and by
waning all neighboring postmasters
against encouraging the practice 1t is
admstted-tha apparently the Office is not
conducting SO much business as usual
but the belief is entertained that citi-
zens generally will soon realize that 1t
is the purpose of the department to pro-
tect ita appointee and will then tsigni-
~ their acccptance OF him In his oin-
cial capacity and resume their relations
with the office.
Ii is semi-oilicially stated that the
Postoflicc Department that the Hogants-
willie incident will be allowed to have
no influence, either for Or against the
appointment of colorcd men to offices in
Georgia or other Southern States THE
Department" said an official discussing
this phase OF the question, could noJ
afford to rctalate by increasing its Sc
lection OF colored men; nor could 1t af-
ford to decrease the number on account
or this affair 1t cannot allow the Incl
dent to have weight in either direction"
Mr.. Lyons, the colored man who is
seeking the appointment to the post
mastership at Augusta, Ga, was at the
Posofiice Department to-day. He said
the shooting of the Hogansville post

DE LOME'S RETURN.
Spain's Answer to the State Department
Expected Soon.

Washington. D. c., Sept. 2S.-Thc
Spanish Minister, Dupuy de LONE, has
arrived here somewhat unexpectedly
from LenoN, where he is spending the
summer with his family.
He reached Washington yesterday
noon and later in the day called at the
State Department and saw Assistant
Secretary of State Day. His presence
In the city was not made known by the
department and it was not until to-day
that his arrival became known.
The Legation is closed for the summer
and the Minister took temporary quar-
ters In an uptown apartment house. He
expected also to call on Secretary Sher-
man.
1t is said by officials that the Minister'S
visit has no special significance at this
time. lie Is looking at n new Legation
building. corner of Massachusetts ave-
nue. and Is street, to DC opened in Octo-
Der. There appears to be no doubt, how
ever. that the visit related to some en-
tent to recent developments at Madrid
in connection with Minister Woodford's
interview with the Spanish Minister for
Foreign Affairs the Duke of Tetuan.
The presence Of Mr.. Dupuy dc LONE
led to conjecture thar Spain's answer
10 the recent views presented by Min
lister Wcodford was about to be sub
mitted. 1t can be positively stated.
however. that Clo answer has been made
ana that up to the present time the
answer has not been framed. 1t would
not DE q surprise. however, If it was
determined upon at any time in the near
future, and il is thought that Minister
Dupuy de Lomc's visit is so timid as
TO permit him to be at the Capital in
case any developmeGt, in the way OF
answer or otherwise, occurred at Ma
drid. The only manner in which an

opportunity for definite action. and this
probably had some part in the Minister'S
return to Washington nj this time.

cases ana two deaths has kept up. But
WH!ie tnefc is 10 sigh OF an epdcmicol |

case puts obstacles daily in the way of

that at least half died through neglect

quarantine regulations. DR.. Olliphant's
Trip up The road tomorrow at the In

pany, with n view to securing a modi-
ncatlCcl OF existing quarantine, will set
tie one way or another whether or not
trade Is TO stagnate for several weeks
longer or whether it rs partially to he

tie the question OF whether or not New

weston and other Texas points. In The
meantime the Crescent City finds itself
ihcapabic of shipping IL pound OF freight

ihis. of course, is the throwing out OF

Now, that the force of the senscless
shol gun quarantine is being felt, the
theatres more than ever, are q ther-
mometer of the injury that Is heinG done
the city. The hotels have done away
with extra help and cut off many OF
their hands, and every man, woman and
child is living with rigid economy. The
condition of affairs Is due entirely to
me strict shot gun quarantine that has

Except on the Atlantic coast. where
rains have fallen the week has been oy-

crops. Like the preceding weeks, how
ever, 1t has been very unfavorable for
termination of sown grain, az well as
Tor following ana seeding. which Is de-
layed generally throughout the central
and Western and some OF the Southern
States. In Nebraska, howtver. a large
acreage of wheat has been s1wn, much
OF which Is up and doing nicely. In tho
Atlantic coast States the conditions
have been more favorable for fall seed
Ing. and satisfactory progress has been
made.
The frostti of the early part of the
week proved injurious to late corn in
portions Of Ohio. Kentucky, Pennsylvan-
Ia and New York. but further West no
serious injury Is reported, and in some
States cutting is nearing completion
Cotton picking has been pushed for
ward rapidly in all sections Of the cotton
belt, although Srrupted somewhat in

Ida by heavy rains. The crop has suf-
fcred further deterioration in Arkansas

suited in the Carolinas and Florida. AS
