WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Representative

to-day ard are at the Normandie. Without
waiting for breakfast, Mr. Overstreet
plunged at once into the campaign work of
the congressional committee. He found that
a mass of business had accumulated await
ing his arrival and he went at it with all
his energies. BY Monday he will be in the
SADDLE and have matters running smoothly.
The one thing which will command his at
tention first will be the campaign textbook,
and that will be handed the printer by the
middle of next week. Mr.. Overstreet had
most favorable reports to make to his col
leagues concerning the political situation
in the West lie gave it as his opinion,
based on personal observation, that Cali
fornia would elect Republican Governor
and United States senator in the place of
White; that Wyoming was certainly Re-
publican; that Utah and Colorado would
probably remain under the control of the
opposition; that the Republicans would
make phenomenal gains in Kansas; that
they had a fighting chance in Nebraska and
had a sure thing in Minnesota, Wisconsin
Illinois and Indiana. The latter State he re-
CARDS as certainly Republican as Vermont
Dissension in the party may arise, with
losses in Pennsylvania and New York, but
the situation as whole he regards as par

shipped from Norfolk In British bottoms
seventeen cargoes of Pocahontas coal, ag-
gregating 7O123 tons. They have gone 20
eleven different coaling stations belonging
to England, and it is believed that England
was stocking stations in the event of possi-
lie war. To-day it leaked out that this
view is undoubtedly correct, as the Poca-
kontas Coal Company is asserted by one
of it's employees to have practically admitted
that an unlimited contract from the British
government for coaling her stations all over
the world had been secured, and the work
has just fairly commenced. The stations TO
which cargoes have thus far been sent are:
Montevideo. in Uruguay; st. Michaels, in
the Azores; Kingston. jamaica; Singapore,
India; Cape Town, Africa; st. Vincent and
Porto Praya. Cape de Verdes; st. Lucia.

Predicts an American Empire.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Spectator, in it's
issue this week, prophesies that America
will retain all the Spanish possessions she
has captured, and thinks that pressure
from the Cuban loyalists will force the COM
mission to stipulate that Cuba shall be gov
erned by the United States for twenty
years" The Spectator says: America will
find herself at the end of the year in the
possession of the beginning of an oversee
tropical empire. Long may she rule it in
the interests of humanity and justice. While
it is so ruled Englishmen will never envy
her possessions nor their expansion into a
domain as great as our own"

LONDON. Aug. 20.-The Times this morn

stances which may compel the United
States to a permanent occupation of Cuba,
and adds: IF America IS prepared to under
take the responsibility of the government
of the whole Philippine group 1t is hard TO
see how any other power could legitimately
interfere. II the United States repudiates
such responsibility very perilous state OF
things might ensue. because it would not be
easy to dispute the right of other powers TO
terminate the state OF anarchy. Therefore
many difficulties will be avoided by Amer
lean annexation. In any case no European
power need reckon upon finding the United
States as easy to coerce as Japan"

4 Dive In Charleston Which Was
Ordered to Be Closed.
Charleston, S. c., Aug. 13.-Some weeks
ago complaint was made to City Council
against block of buildings on Arson
street In this city, known as Eden Hotel.
Negroes of the Vilest characters lived In
the place, which is owned by Mr.. George
w. Williams. president of the Carolina
Savings Bank.
A special committee was appointed by
council to investigate, and the report,
which was made at the last meeting of
Councin, was of a most sensational char
acter. 1t stated that the place was a men
ace to the health and morals of the city.
As 3 result, Chief of Police Boyle was
ordered to close up Eden Hotel and drive
ats inmates out.
There has been no end Of talk about the
matter since, and a new turn was given
to the whole question to-day, when it was
learned that the owners of Eden Hotel
had got a temporary injunction against
the Mayor and city Council prohibiting
them from closing up the place The trial,
which is set for the Goth inst, promises to

M'GILL APT TO LOSE HIS JOB.
HIS RECENT BREAK TAKING ON a
MORE SERIOUS ASPECT.

Hints That state Executive Commit

rotary McGm in the Authorship or
his Famous Letter to the Cover
Dor'~ wife.
Atlanta. Ca, Aug. 81. Waters McGlh'
stat. secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, is very apt 70 lose his Jop
on account of his recent structure on the
officers Of the Georgia regiments, and his
more recent apology for the charges he
made in his famous letter to Mrs. Gov.
Atkinson.
Nothing official has yet been done in the
premises. but The statement that the state
secretary is likely TO be bounced is made
upon the authority of a member of the
state executive committee, under which he
serves. This member is also a member OF
the army and navy committee of the asso-
station. and while he declines 10 allow use
of his name, or TO say that there is any
concert of opinion among his fellow mem
hers of the committee, from what he says
there has evidently been an Interchange
of views looking to the decapitaton of Sec
rotary McGin
According TO what the committeeman re-
ferred TO says. Secretary McGni made
bad break in the eyes of The Young Men
Christian Association officers, as well as
in the eyes of the public and of the army
officers whom he made mad by charging
that they were using relief funds TO give
wine suppers and other dissipatons instead
of applying it to provide comforts for the
Georgia soldiers.
incidentally the views expressed by the
gentleman referred to, has brought out
another and rather Interesting phase OF
the case as il relates to the relet work
of the Young Mems Christian Association
and the Army and Navy League among
the Georgia soldiers. 1t seems, soon after
the Army and Navy League was projected
by the ladies of Atlanta, the ladies in
vited the army committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association TO attend a
meeting of their association at the
CAPITAL City Club, with a view to cooper
ating In the distribution of the relief funds
by both committees. The invitation was
presented TO the Young Men CHRISTIAN
Association committee, and was turned
down because the gentlemen composing
that body could not get the consent Of
their consciences TO attend a meeting at
the Capital City Club. This ended The
efforts to cooperate between the two re-
lief committees.
The ladies went TO work with a vim and
succeeded in raising more funds than the
Young Mems Christian Association COM
mittee, and they, it appears, accepting the
action Of that committee in declining to
join the Capital City Club meeting, as a
final refusal TO cooperate, went ahead
and distributed it to suit themselves with
out consulting Secretary McGin or any
one else connected with the Young Mems
Christian Association army committee. 1t
is said that this aroused jealousy, which
was at the bottom of Secretary McGnl's
structures on the relief associations dis
tribution of its funds.

Small, who has filed the public eye In al
most every pose from politician to pulpit
and who is now summering as chaplain in

his appeal to Mrs. J. jefferson Thomas Of
this city to enlist the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union in the work of raising
funds to buy him a gospel tent with hymn
books and other literary necessities IN a
well regulated chaplain's outfit. He says
he wants the tent for worship and COM

to have it presented by the w. c. T. u.

provision only for the payment of the sal
airy of the chaplains, without buying
equipment for their holy labors. The Rev.

Brunswick, Ga. Aug. 13.-To-night while
Heus HaIf-acre and other places in the
slums were running al full blast party
of Brunswicks ministers and church men,
bers made a tour of investigation.
The ministers were Rev. Holliugsworth
of the Presbyterian, Rev. Gilmore of the
Baptist Rev Hearn of the First Method
isl and the pastor of McKendree Church.
This visit OF the ministers has created
a sensation in lower circles. 1t was en-
tirely unexpected by the acre habitues
and every dance hall and joint in He'll 5
Half-acre was running at fun blast
The white and negro women that infest
these localities were in the midst of their
half-drunken revellings, and the ministers
no doubt, saw sights such as they never
witnessed before.
When the fact of their tour becomes
more generally known tomorrow. it will
prove a bombshel in the camps of the
acre denizens.
What tho ministers will do about the
sights they saw will develop in the future
