ATLANTA DELEGATION EXPECTS
HIS VISIT ON OCT. -.

Washington. Oct Especial Admiral
Dewey win probably visit Atlanta the cath
instant Such is his present intention, un-
less some unforeseen demand upon his
presence here should be made in the mean
time.
The Admiral arrived here this evening
accompanied by Lieut.. Brumby. The hour
OF his arrival was not generally known
hence there was but little demonstration
over him as he walked briskly out of the
pennsylvania railroad depot and proceeded
10 his apartments in the Everett Flat on
II, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets. His apartments are modest but
comfortably furnished. but there is no at
tempt at display or extravaganza in the
interior decorations.
The Everett is a small apartment house
near tne MStTopoHldh tiub' VI NiiiNA tilS
Admiral is a member Admiral Schley also
has apartments in the same house. Admi-
raj Dewey declined to receive visitors to-
night but made an exception for two or
three personal friends.
Soon after the Admiral arrived here he
was informed that delegation, represent
ing the city of Atlanta desired TO confer
with him relative to fixing a date for his
visit to that city. He made an appoint
ment to meet the delegation tomorrow al
II O'Clock. The delegation is composed of
Thomas Eggleston, Joseph 4. Orme and
Harvey johnson. Messrs. Eggleston and
Orme were schoolmates with Lieut. Brum-
by, consequently they encountered but
little difficulty in arranging the interview
with the Admiral through his trusted flag
lieutenant.
This evening the delegation entertained
Lieuts Brumby and Caldwell at dinner in
the ShoTeham Hotel. 1t appears that the
Admiral has given some thought TO his
proposed visit South during his recent alb
sence from Washington, and he will try
to arrange his plans to visit Atlanta about
the oath instant.
The entire Southland is anxious to get
a glimpse of the hero of Manila, and dele
cations from Savannah, Charleston and
Macon are expected here Wednesday to
formally invite him to visit those cities.
The trip can easily be arranged If the Ad-
miral consents, and the Southern Railroad
Company will furnish him and his party
with one of the handsomest trains that
ever rolled Southwark.

DEWEY BACK IN WASHINGTON.
Admiral Arrived Late for the First
Time Since His Return.


Time Since His Return.
Washington, Oct. 16-Fresh from the Sc
ries OF New England demonstrations in
his honor, Admiral Dewey returned 10
Washington late this afternoon on the be
lated through Federal Express from Bos-
ton.
His Homecoming, after a continuous
round of celebrations extending practically
from his arrival at Sandy Hook, marked
his first experience in being hours behind
his schedule, for the train bearing his par
ty, delayed by the dense fog about New
York harbor during the night, pulled into
the Pennsylvania depot here at 1855 o. m,
six hours and thirteen minutes late. 1t
was a fatigu ng and featureless trip.
The Admiral was accompanied by Flag
Lieutenant Brumby, Flag Secretary Caid-
well and General Passenger Agent Mckee
yer of the Rutland Railroad. They occu-
pied w. X. Vanderbilrs private car "10l'
which the Admiral has had at his disposal
since he left New York last Tuesday, and
which was attached 10 the rear of the ex-
press
Three times the Admiral came out on the
platform, but there was no speech making
or Misunderstanding. Owing to the belated
time few people along the line of railroad
gathered 10 greet him. The party waited
fifteen minutes here for the Admit ais car
riage and when he passed through the
crowd in the depot to reach IL there was
some cheering which the Admiral acknowl-
edged by lifting his hat. He was driven
to his hotel.
The Admiral has made no pans or en-
gagements for the next few days and ex-
pects to give himself complete rest. So far
he has fixed no date for the Atlanta Tecep-
ton.

Natal Is Under It-Subjects Remind
ed of obligations.


Durham, Oct 1.-two extraordinary ga
zettes have been issued. The first pro-
claims martial law in the Newcastle. Dun
dee, Kip River Umsiga and Upper Tugila
divisions. The reason given is a belief
that Natal subjects have joined the invad-
ing Beers and assisted the enemy. The
other gazette reminds British subjects of
their obligation to the Queen and warns
them to abstain from intercourse and trade
with the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State.
The Beers who occupied Newcastle after
It's abandonment by the British consist of
Transvaal and Free State troops and 400
Hollanders. Gen. Joubert, commander-in-
chief of the Transvaal forces, is believed
TO be at Lalngs Mex, where he is fortify-
ing. Fifteen refugees from Harrysmith
have reached Ladysmith.
Among them is the guard of the Natal
L ain which was comma nded by the Orange
Free State. He says that the English driV-
er and flremen were detained to work the
train which is used in carrying Free
State troops to Reenan's Pass. where
earthworks have been thrown up and
two guns have been placed in position.
Two Beers spies have been arrested at
Ladysmith and handed over to the mill
tary authorities

the imperial governments sanction is pro-
ceeding briskly at Durham and Pieterma-
ritzburg.
Reports are persstently circulated of a

ALL DEMOCRATS GREAT.
Bryan Says, who Live Up 10 Their
Responsibilities.


Benton, Ky, Oct 16.-Mr. Bryan was
cordially greeted at Benton by a very
large crowd at noon. He was introduced
as the great Democrat of the day and
took occasion TO say in reply that all
Democrats were great who lived up TO
their responsibilities. The defeat of 1896
merely made the party more determined
TO win.
The party, he said, though some of the
leaders went astray, was right. The de
feat of three years ago simply made the
united party of to-day. The people have
charge, They believe the Democra ifc
party is right and will see that the dc.
feat OF 96 is reversed.
Mr.. Goebel for the first time to-day un-
dertook a defense of the election law
known as the Goebei law. He claimed
the law became a necessity to prevent
the Republicans of the state from steal
ing the state election and charged the rail-
road and other state interests with being
combined to defeat the Democratic state
ticket in order to secure the repeal of the
law.
For this reason" said Mr. Goebel I'VE
want Democratic governor who will pre-
vent the repeal of the law For this rea-
son we want you to send true Democrats
TO the Legislature. / say Democrats, be-
cause we do rot want Palmer and Buck

Parliament.
London, Oct. 16.-The Queens speech at
the opening of Parliament tomorrow will
declare that Parliament has been sum-
moned at an unusual date for a specific
purpose and that this course has been rem
dered necessary by two circumstances.
First, Her Majestys proclamation call
ing ont the reserves is necessarily followed
by the summoning of Parliament within
ten days.
Second, the condition of affairs in South
Africa demands the attention of the Legis-
lature."
Ho1 Majesty will then declare that her
general relations with foreign powers are
peaceful, a state of affairs which, unfor-
tunately, Goes not Apply TO the Transvaal.
The House of Commons viii be invited
TO provide ways and means necessary to
prosecute the British policy in South Afri-
ca. The speech will conclude with prom

Dannhauser, northeast of Dundee, with
the probable intention of surrounding Dun
dee and cutting off the garrison from
communication with Glencoe and Lady
smith. 1t is supposed this force is COM
manded by Commandant Viljoen and COM
prises the German gunners.
The rest of the Boer force from New
castle is believed to be marching around
Glencoe to sever its connection with Lady
smith. As the refugees in Cape Town
threaten to become troublesome and have
hooted and mobbed a number of leading
Dutchmen, there is some expectation that
martial law will be proclaimed.
