For the first time in years the people
Of Macon and vicinity enjoyed pleasant
weather for the decoration Of the graves
of their loved ones and 10 honor the
memory of those who offered up their
lives when their country called them to
Its defence. Prompt at the hour agreed
upon all the stores in Macon were closed
and IN a short time the roads leading to
the beautiful city Il the dead, we've
thronged with people of all ages, from
little children, upon whose susceptive
minds such scenes are calcplated to
make a deep impression, 10 the gray

days when be was associated with the
brave and the true, who now sleep be
meath the sod.
A prominent featare of the occasion
was the procession of bicyclists with
their wheels decorated in the natl nal
colors.
The large crowd having arrived within
the cemetery enclosure and assembled
around the stand prepared by the odd
elbows for this celebration, Rev Mr..
opened the ceremonies with d
and appropriate prayer.
Rev. j. A. Rand lph was the first
speaker to pay q tribute to the gallant ,
of the great civil conflict, and ]
he then said that the patriotic son. ct
country in the Southland have an
'ther opportunity of winning renown on
fields in turning their arm.

lg devoted e, a criticism Of the admin I
'@tration on its dallying policy. TIN. \
emit OF hi remarks was that the gov ''
n ment has triaed too long already and
nat the stale of the country demanded '.
nat our foreign affairs be conducted re
nth a more vigorous hand. a
Many calls Were made for Hon. WI. Is
T Price, who occupied a seat o.. tie
and, but as he was too Young to serve q

'efer to listen to the oh soldiers.
Hon. Geo. q. billiard then made a n.
speech that was full of fight from H'

After a blessing by Rev. Mr. Lattt 'a-
the very large crowd of ladies and wa

The National Guard was organized
and intended for home defence, but
the administration does not hesitate to
show its intention to call it out for
service with the regular troops, if it is
needed, nor do its members show any
reluctance to going wherever they may

CURRENCY DEBATES.
President A. ]. Warner, of the Bimetallic
Union, and Congressman Fowler, of
New JERSEY, the Debaters,

Omaha, Neb., Sept lj.--The third and
last day of the national currency conven-
ton began with a paper in support of the
unlimited issue of irredeemablc curren-
cy by the government from General A.
j. Warner, president Of American Bi-
metallic union. Warner said the debate
won.d be divided into, first the ad-
vocacy of "A bank currency; second, a
plea for governmental currency to cir
culate concurrently with metals: third.
an affirmation of an rredeemable gov
ernment paper currency or absolute
iiatism. As to the defense of falling
prices made by gold standard advocates,
he said he cOncurred in their opinions
except as to farm products for which
the labor cost had decreased and with
further qualifications that there had
been no reduction in fixed charges such
as transportation rates, debts and taxes.
A reply was made by Congressman
Charles N. Fowler. OF New Jersey. who
supported a bank currency. He said
the only logical position the silverites
could take was that of Warner; that if
they could legsate the value of silver
they could legislate silver into paper and
make it redeem itself.

convention Of the Republican party OF
Colorado met this morning in the Broad

tion on the Republican party.

CRISIS IN FRANCE.
Dreyfus Case Threatens to Disrupt the Re.
public President Faure Accused of
Aiming at Dictatorship,

New York, Sept. la dispatch tt
the World from Paris says: France is
on the brink of the gravest crisis since
the birth Of the Third republic. Pre-
mier Brsson and all other members OF
the cabinet except NJ. Sunlinden, min
star of war, and possibly M. Lockroy
are convinced of the absolute necessity
Of a revision of the Drcyfus case.
At Saturdays meeting of the cabinet
a division will be decrecd. President
Faurc is determined in his opposition to
a revision and has caused it to be ru-
mored that he will resign il it is granted.
No one believes he will resign, but every
one sees that the threat to do SO is de>-
perate expedient to get rid, at one blow,
of Brissons cabinet and of revision also.
President Faure is accused of aiming at
a dictatorship, and if he succeeds in de,
StrOying the Brisson cabinet it will be
the act of a dictator The Dreyfus agi-
tation can be suppressed only by the
exercise Of arbitrary power.

TO REINFORCE DEWEY.
Battleships Oregon and Iowa to Be Sent to
Manila to Discourage German
Interference.

Washington, Sept. l5.- Secretary
Long stated last night that the battle
ships Iowa and Oregon were under or
ders to proceed to Manila via Honolulu
to re-enforce Rear Admiral Dewey'S
command. The authorities say there is
nothing in Germany's attitude to cause
the belief that she proposes to interfere
with any disposition Of the Philippines
this government may see fit to make. 1t
is appreciated, however, that it will be
the part of wisdom for the United States
to put in the Pacific force so formid-
able as to discourage even the suggestion
of interference.
Secretary Long has directed the bat
tleship to be built by the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco to be named
the Ohio. The Cramps will build the
Maine, and the Newport News Company
the Missouri.
