THE GREAT DAY.

A more perfect day than last We'd
nesday could not have been made to
order. 1t was delightfully."- cool with
flight breeze stirring. Early in the
morning crowds began gathering on
the streets, flags and bunting were
thrown to the breeze, flowers strewed
the pathways and the city took on a
festal air.
Promptly at the hour set for the oc-
casion the line of march was formed
around the park, the right resting
opposite the First National Bank as
follows: Board of Fire Wardens,
Mitchell''s Band, A. A. Torbet Post,
G.. A. r., carriages containing veter-
ans, Spanish American War veterans,
Lincoln Guards, Public School Cadets,
Bayley School Cadets and flower
wagons

VIEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
DOIIiyer Of Iowa Being Doomed
For Yice-PreSident.
Secy. Long, Senator Fairbanks and
Gov. Shaw also in the Race A
FuII-fIedged Postal Scandal at
Home and in Cuba.
Especial Correspondence.


Washington, D. c., May 31-The
most talked of matter in the capital
at the present time is the Republican
ticket which is to be placed in nomi-
nation at the national convention to
be held in Philadelphia, June 10.
There is no contest for first place, of
course Mr. Mckinley will surely be
re-nominated, and probably without
the name of another candidate being
mentioned. But who will be the vice.
presidential nominee? That is the
question which is agitating the poll
ticians high and low. Lieut.. Gov
ernor Woodruff, of New York, is never
mentioned. He might be dead for all
the interest his little boom has
aroused. No one here has ever taken
that boom seriously, and probably no
one ever will, at least not for another
four years.
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, has
lately had good deal to say ON the
subject. His opinion is that Jonathan
p, Dolliver, of Iowa, should receive
the nomination. The General gives
many reasons for his choice, first OF
which is that Dolliver is young man
and an orator without peer in this
country. Then, too, he has record
as a staunch Republican, there not
being flaw in his political career.
The fact that Dolliver is from Iowa is
in his favor rather than otherwise.
All this and much more General
Grosyenor recites in favor of his cam
didate but as yet has failed to arouse
a great amount of Dolliver enthusi-
asm.
Secretary Long is a passive candi-
date whose name meets with not the
slightest opposition. But as it does
not meet with anything else it is
plain to be seen that in official cir
cles he is not considered as even
probability. Senator Fairbanks is
heard Of occasionally as a possible can
didate, also Governor Shaw, of Iowa.
But this is all talk. No one has any
real idea as to what will be the out
come of the convention. There have
been many dark horses in the history
of the party and this is one of the
years when it looks as though a
Nubian steed might be factor.
Postoffioe scandals having started in
Cuba are now the fashionable thing.
We are trying to have one in Washing
ton but it will probably fall through
as there seems to be no foundation for
the charges made against the post
master. But in regard to the Cuban
affair, that is a thing which really
affects the administration to such an
extent that no one will be spared in
the investigation now under way. In
the first place it seems pity that
Americans, having gone to Cuba for

WANT PLACE TO DUMP ASHES.
ship Owners Hampered by Strict
Law as to Chesapeake Bay.

Washington. Feb. ia large delegation
of vessel owners from Maryland and Vir-
ginia called upon Secretary Root and Gen,
Wilson, chief of engineers, at the war de-
partment to-day with view of having
their assistance in securing modification
of the existing law which practically pro-
hibits the dumping of ashes in any part of
the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries.
The members of the delegation said their
business is seriously hampered by the In
depreciation of the law. Their appeal for
relief is due to the recent action of United
States Commissioner Rogers in committing
Capt James Mahon, of the Old Bay Line
steamer CASTOR for the action of the Unit
ed States grand jury ON the charge of
dumping ashes into the Patapsco river and
Chesapeake bay What they desired Of
the war department was the designation
of certain specific limits within which the
necessary dumping of ashes from the
steamers might be permitted.

We're being fostered by the Republican ad-
minstration. He adverted in passing to
Ohio politics

garbage" which Mr.. Sulzer had brought

Mob Grew Violent and Several Were
Killed and wounded

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment was warned on the 18th instant, and
again on the 18th, that the drivers and
others employed on the various kinds of
vehicles in this city were about to strike
The assigned reason was the new law
regulating street cars, carriages etc.
monarchist and clerical paper took an
attitude practically melting the disorder
affirming that the new regulations would
oblige each driver to file at police head
quarters his photograph and a bond of
5000. Thus melted, 5000 drivers
receivers and carriers began a strike. The
police showed weakness and several thou,
sand strikers who had stopped all traffic
in the central and western portion of the
city, repaired to the Presidents palace
After tearing up rails, smashing trains
and stoning carriages that had the hardI-
hood to go out in disobedience to the or
ders of the ringleaders. who threatened
death as penalty of disobedience, the
numerous groups resolved to form in front
of the palace. After the mob had cried
Long live the monarchy Death to the
republic!' for some time a small picket
or cavalry under a lieutenant charged
them with drawn sabers.
In the afternoon the government sent
large attachments of troops of the line,
cavalry and rapid-firing guns and the
trouble was over.
On the 10Th the principal street car lines
were partially running, each one carrying
policeman or soldier to prevent inter-
ruption on the part of the strikers. Dur
ing Jan. Is, 16 and part of the nth over
5000 troops were under arms, occupying
points considered most dangerous. about
the water works, aqueducts, etc.
Before peace was restored five persons
were killed, twenty-three severely wounded
and over forty slightly wounded. Over 300
arrests were made. Ten electrical cars and
smashed. One bridge was destroyed and
all business suspended for three days.

Street Baptist or Not.


Street Baptist or Not.
The Duffy Street Baptist Church has
not yet found a successor to Rev. ]. D.
Chapman, who leaves to accept pastor
ate in Anderson, S. c.
At the meeting two weeks ago a vote of
the congregation was taken for the pur-
pose of ascertaining its choice for a sue
cessor. Rev. w. L. Walker, who is now
in Valdosta temporarily, received the
greatest number of the ballots and he was
notified to that effect and asked to accept
the position. Later two of the officers Of
the church went to Valdosta and called on
him for the purpose of inducing him TO
accept. but he still has the matter under
consideration, though he has promised
definite answer either accepting or reject
ing the proffered place sometime within
the next few days.
In letter that DR.. Chapman received
from him yesterday Mr.. Walker said that
he was disposed to consider the PROPOSE
ton favorably, and that the salary was
satisfactory, but that he was undetermin-
ed whether to devote his future work for
the church to a pastorate or to go into
the foreign missionary service. This Ques-
ton he will determine within a few days,
and will then notify the church of his
decision. He is at present filling the pull
pit of the Rev. Carl Miner, who is on a
vacation in Europe and the Holy Land.
1t is understood that Mr.. Walker was
to serve for three months. He has already
spent one of them in the position, and DR..
Chapman is confident that he can arrange
10 have him excused for one of the other
two, which will leave him only one to
serve should he determine to come to Sa-
vannah AS DIR. Chapman will leave on
the last of February, this arrangement
will leave the congregation for a month
without a pastor
