BITTER CONTEST IN MILLER.
Large Negro Vote and Purchasable White
Votes Make the ISIS ne Doubtful.

Colquitt, Ca, Oct. 1.-Politics is at a
high tide. Populism is dead in this
county, but the races for local offices
are exciting. The main fight, and most
intense contest, is between Judge j. w.
Cowart and J A. Bush for representative.
Mr. . Bush is seeking reelection. Judge
Cowart stands for county dispensary,
and Mr.. Bnsh, being engaged in the liquor
business. is against it. The rivalry is
too bitter. Quantities of liquor are being
used and each man has a number of act
i've workers canvassing the county IN his
interest At present it is believed that
Judge Cowart is in the lead, out owing
to the large negro vote, and purchasable
white votes in this county the issue is
still doubtful.
There are from three to FIVE candidates
for every local office, and as quite nara-
Der of them use whisky in electioneering
quite a number of conservative citize7s
apprehend serious difficulties at the
various polling places in the county.

however, SO that the conferences is sim
ply postponed for a short time.
Capt Brainerd has been authorized
to issue to-day the advertisements for
the supplies that are to be carried on
the relief expeditions. They probably
will appear in newspapers in Chicago.
Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
The list of articles 20 be carried has
been arranged with the greatest care
by the quartermaster's department,
after consultation with Surgeon-Gen-
eral S~ternberg, only the most vitality
necessary food articles which combine
resistance to cold and decay with great
nutritive value being selected. The
lists are follows:
List No. l includes absolutely indis-
pensable articles and is made up of
bacon, flour. pea meal, onions, tea,
salt and pepper. These things are to
go if anything is taken.
1t will be noticed that in food value
onions are set ahead Of potatoes, and
that tea is taken instead of coffee.
Both potatoes and coffee are provided
for in list No. . which is made mp of
articles that are to be carried in addi-
tion to those in the first list If there Is
accommodation for them. This list is:
Dried fruit (apples, prunes or raisins),
dessicated potatoes and coffee.
If the transportation facilities are
equal to a still further load, then the
articles in list No. 8 will be added as
follows: Fresh meat in cans, sugar
and tobacco.
From the advices Of the Canadians il
is likely that Skaguay will be chosen
instead of Dyea as the terminal port
of the relief expeditions The reasons
for this choice is said TO be the fact
that Skaguay has wharves at which
the ships can discharge cargo directly.
while at Dyea there is nothing but
lighters to land the goods.
Nj. Sifton said last night that he
hoped to conclude his visit within the
next two days, and that there was NO
doubt the two governments could
make an arrangement which would be
mutually beneficial in extending relief
to the Klondikers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. - Secretary
Gage was seen yesterday on his return
from New York and questioned as to
the truth of the published report that
he had rendered his resignation to the
president, and that it had been firmly
declined with many expressions of con-
idence and appreciation of his ability
as. shown in his administration Of the
treasury department
Mr.. Gage was not inclined to discuss
the matter at length, but said that he
had not rendered his resignation, nor
had he any reason TO believe that he
and the president were not in substan-
tial accord on the questions before the
country. The report, he said, proba-
bly, sprang from a remark he had made
to intimate friends. to the effect that
not for anything would he embarrass
the president. and if he saw that he
was doing this he would resignet once.
He added: "a cabinet officer ought
alwayo to be and is ready to surrender
his Office at the wish of his chief, the
executive. but 1 have not the slightest
reason to believe that such action on
my part is even remotely desired by
the president The desires of other

The state department has used all Of
its authority to mitigate the condi-

II is hoped by the department Of

come to the relief, and that promptly,
by subscriptions of money. clothing
and supplies of various kinds. The

generous aid in carrying forward this
movement The machinery for distri-

department. and Consul General Lee
has undertaken, with the aid of the
American consular officers In Cuba, to
give personal attention to the allevia-
tien of distress by the distribution of

One line of steamers plying between

that the American vessels will do their
part by carrying the goods to the sea-

partment directs that they be sent di-
rect to Consul-ieneral Lee, either
