1t is not yet settled whether there will
Be any demonstration by civilians WITH
a view 60 cooperating with the business
men 10 case they desire TO take steps n
this direction, however, a committee on
public entertainment has been named
This committee viii confer with the bus-
rcss men in case they desire to have some
kind of demonstration, and its duty viii
be to assist IN every possible way. As
Yet there has been no inclination TO ar
range a demonstration, but the chances
are the matter win be discussed within
The next few days. and a conclusion reach
ed about the proper course TO pursue.
President Mckinley and party viii re-
view the Seventh Corps in the Park Elk
tension. il is expected the reviewing stand
viii be at the same place it was when Gen.
Lee recently reviewed the corps. This IS
not certain. however, as il is likely the
President wil speak from the stand after
the review, and to have il on one side
would make it difficult for as many peo-
PIE to get in hearing distance. With the
crowds expected to Savannah Dec. Is and
=. which will probably be the days the
visitors viii be here, it will be necessary
70 take every advantage in providing for
their accommodation
The Governor OF all states that have
troops in Savannah will be invited here
on this occa sion. Capt. D. G. Purse. gen
eral chairman Of committees. viii send
out the Invitations at once. and entertain
hopes they viii all be accepted.
