ADAMS AND HANSELL.
Are Said to Receive Governors Con-
sideratiOn for the JudEeship.

Atlanta, Sept. THE advance
guard of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee arrived in the city to-
day. and the Kimball lobby has as
sumed a political aspect.
While it will not be settled definitely
until the committee meets tomorrow
at noon, II is practically certain that
the question of a successor to Justice
Hal T. Lewis on the Supreme bench,
will be allowed to go direct to the
people in the general election on Oct.
/. All the members of the committee
here are opposed to making a nominal
ton, and the few who favor a primary,
it is thought. will go over to the ma
jority who are against this plan on ac-
count of the short time. Since it re-
quires a majority to elect, and in the
event no candidates receives a major
ity, the Legislature will have to name
the new justice. little fear is express
ed as to danger from Populist or Re-
publican candidate. 1t is not belieyed
there would be any but Democrats in
the race.
All OF the candidates, Judge John S.
Gambler of DeKalb, Judge w r. Ham
pond OF Atlanta, and Judge Richard
B. Russell of Jackson are here to-
night, talking with the politicians who
are gathered from all parts of the
state. All Of the candidates for speak
er, Fondren Mitchell of Thomas, Newt
Morris of Cobb, and Emerson George
of Morgan, are also here with their
friends and are putting in their best
efforts.
Gov. Gambler has given no intimation
as to whom he will appoint for the
short term, other than to say it will
probably be a South Georgia man and
that he had two under consideration
These are said to be Hon. S. B. Adams
of Savannah and Judge A. II. Hansell
of Thomasville. One of these Will
probably be named tomorrow.

WAS BARTH0LIN'S BODY.
Proven That the Suicide Was the
Chicago Murderer.

Proven That the Suicide Was the
Chicago Murderer.
Riceville, Ia, Sept. THE body
which was buried here yesterday morn
ing and which was believed to be that
of William Bartholin, was exhumed
this afternoon and positively identified
as that of the Chicago doubie-mur-
derer.
The Identification was made by Will
liam Mitchell, brother of one of Bar
tholin's victims. and Detective Andrew
Rohan of Chicago.
Bartholin's body was found last Fri
day afternoon, about six miles from
Riceville, as told in the Associated
Press dispatches last night, by j. G..
Pratt, resident of Riceville Mr..
Pratt was driving to Elma, and when
passing a fax field, saw the body ly-
ing against a stack of fax. Thinking
it was man asleep, he paid no at
tention, but on returning he saw the
man still there and upon investiga-
ton discovered he was dead, with a
revolver lying by his left hand
Coroner T. S. Carpenter was notified,
and the body was removed to an I'M
ONi lclhlliS Ut ftlttNllI6.
There, J. B. McCook, editor of a Rice
vile paper discovered that the dead
man bore striking resemblance to the
published pictures of Bartholin.
The text of confession left by the
suicide, as made public by DR.. r. S.
Carpenter, coroner of Howard county,
follows:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern: I want
to state l am the Bartholin the police
are looking for Also want to certify
/ had no assistance of any kind from
anyone. Thompson, Claffey and Coun-
selman are all as innocent as an I'M
born child and should be freed at once.
II cannot go into details in regard
to the crimes. They were not planned.
1t was all Minnie and I could do My
mind is wandering. Such a drop in
life in a short time. Two months ago
! was living in the best company; to-
day, living the life of hobo; a MUIR
derer.
II intended to go into details and
tell all, but 1 cannot get my mind set
tied. Even my handwriting is dis
graceful.
But above all things, l ask to clear
everybody from under suspicion. There
Is no second party; / am the last.
William Bartholin."
1.-THE charges preferred by the police
against Claffey, Thompson and Coun-
selman will be heard by the next grand
jury, which convenes one week from
tomorrow" said an attache of the
states attorney office tonight. 1.-THE
confession of Bartholin is not a ukase
guaranteed to free everybody. The
fact that Bartholin killed three people,
including himself will add no great
weight to this piece of written testi-
mi
three men. This evidence must be
heard, wherefore the accused must re-
main in Jail in default of bail, unless
released on habeas corpus, and / hard
ly believe that is possible"

WILL TAKE NO ACTION.
Not Expected the State Department
VIII Concern Itself Yet.

Washington, Sept. THE destruc-
ton of the Crete-a-Pierrot without
doubt will be made the subject of an
official report to this government by
United States Minister Powell, who is
now at Port-au-P Prince. Pending
the receipt of that report
there is, in the opinion of the
officials here who have kept in
touch with affairs, little likelihood of
any action by the State Department,
and indeed, judging from the character
of instructions transmitted through the
Navy Department to Commander Nc
Crea of the Machias, there will be lit
tie disposition to question the justice
of the treatment accorded Admiral Kill
lick
The United States naval officer was
specially instructed to prevent inter-
ference with commerce, and in expec-
tation of those orders, he was obliged
to warn the rebel admiral that he must
not search foreign shipping, else the
Machias would use force against him.
The threat was effectual only so long
IA the Machias remained in Haytian
waters, and as soon as she headed
northward T<illick held up the German
steamer Markomannia and seized her
cargo of arms.
While the State Department has nat
adopted the German view that Killick
was a pirate, it has, on the basis of
its own instructions to Commander
McCrea, never admitted his right to
interfere with foreign shipping. 1t,
however, did not entertain doubt as
to whether Killick was not privileged
to operate as he did in the case of the
Markomannia, provided the seizure
was made within the three-mile limit
and so within Haytian waters.
However. any question that might
arise as to the legality of the action
of the commander of the Panther is
one that the State Department. will
probably regard as solely between the
governments of Germany and of Hay
ii. and as the latter government has
already denounced Admiral Killick as
a pirate, and had besought Comman-
der McCrea to seize his ship, it is GER
tain that it will make no issue in this
matter unless the incident should de-
veloped into an attempt, such as now
is considered improbable, to acquire
territory. In that event the United
States would promptly intervene.
The incident it is stated, Is much less
serious from a diplomatic point of
view than if the actual government of
Hayti were one of the principals, in
stead of the Firminist government.

viii Clash Tomorrow.
GEN. BERT BEATEN.
1t Is Relieved Defender of Aqua
DuIce Has Lost.

Panama. Colombia, Sept. THE
governor general, Morales Berti, who
has been beesieged by the insurgent
forces under Gen. Herrera at Aqua
Dulce, has probably been defeated.
The government gunboat returned
here last night from an exploring ex-
petition. Officers of the expedition re-
port having landed at Yeguala, where
the insurgent garrison was defeated
after a slight skirmish. A few insur-
gent prisoners were captured, and 1t is
from these men that the news of the
governments defeat at Aqua Dulce has
been obtained.
Gen. Berti had been besieged since
July rs. The troops OF his command
must have suffered terribly from lack
of supplies during the last days OF
the siege, and 1t is said they were
compelled to eat horse flesh. Up to
Aug. 80 Gen. Bert had not surrendered,
but since that date he is believed
either to have done so or to have
forced his way out of Aqua Dulce.
Gen. Bertis brave and heroic defense
of Aqua Dulce has been admired. even
by the insurgents, as one of the most
brilliant pages in the history of the
revolution.
Early in August the port of Aqua
Dulce was captured by the insurgents
and the government gunboat Boydca,
with reinforcements for Gen. Berti,
also fell into their hands. These facts,
connected with the scarcity of govern
ment troops at Panama and Colon,
made 1t impossible for Gen. Sala1ar,
governor of Panama, to render Bsrti
assistance.
In government circles. however, the
hope is still entertained that Gen. Ber-
ii has forced his way out of the be-
sieged town, but there is nothing TO
confirm this. If Gen. Bert were de-
feated, II is believed that Gen. Her
rera could prolong the instruction for
a few months.
II is understood here that the gov
eminent will take no active steps
against the insurgents at Augua Dulce
until the arrival here OF the new Co
lombian war vessel from Seattle.
Wash.
Panama and Colon are both strongly
protected.

will begin here tomorrow. Snodgrass
Tower, which is seventy feet high, was
soon reached and Notwithstanding the
warm weather, the President walked
to the top, where a splendid view of
the battlefield was obtained. Gen.

the many points of interest and ex-
planned the positions occupied by the
different commands.
The President was greatly interested
in many of the monuments which mark
the battlefield The drive extended
through Missionary Ridge to Orchard

was frequently greeted by groups of
people, to whom he responded by rails

a number of children waved small
American flags as the President passed.
When Orchard Knob was reached he
walked through it to the trolley cars
which conveyed the party to the foot
of Lookout Mountain.
From the Top of Lookout.
On the mountain Gen. Boynton well
coined him as follows: Il am glad to
welcome you, and doubly glad to see
you and your secretary here after the
accident of last week"
The President responded with smile
and bow. Gen. Boynton then dsscrib-
ed briefly, but graphically. the differ
ent opera tions connected with the bat
ties about Chattanooga. The President
was an attentive listener, and frequent
~ asked questions. When Gen. Boyn-
ton had concluded the President re-
marked: 1T is a wonderful battle
field"
Dinner was served on the mountain,
and then the party returned to the
city.
During the progress Of the trip down
the mountain-side a number of chill
dren threw two large lunches of gold
en- ROD to the President who stood on
the front platform of the car. He
caught one of them and waved his
thanks to the little people.
An immense crowd was assembled
about the hotel and they cheered the
President as he alighted from his car
rage.
One of the incidents of the day which
pleased the President vepy much was
the meeting of three members of his
old command, who served with him in
Cuba. They were LieuEs. Cartwell and
Palmer of the Seventh Cavalry, both
serving with him as privates, and Mr..
Croker of Georgia, who was with the
President at San Juan.
The President tomorrow will address
the convention of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and also the citi-
zens of Chattanooga from a stand
erected near the court house. He will
leave for Knoxville tomorrow after
noon.

M0ROS BREAK AWAY.
Their Chiefs Retract All Friendly
Overtures.

Manila, Sept. 7.-Capt. J. j. PERISH
ing, who is in command of the Amer
lean force at Camp Vickars, Island of
Mindanao, reports to Gen. Chaffee
that several of the Moro chiefs, whose
followers have attacked American SOL
diers, have retracted all friendly over
lures, and that he had been unable
to reach an amicable understanding.
The breaking of relations the cap
tain reports, will probably bring on a
crisis in the Moro situation. 1t is be-
lieved in Manila that a renewal of att
tacks will result in retaliation. The
military records show that since the
Bayan fight last May the Moros have
made twelve attacks on American SOL
diers, killing four Americans and
wounding twelve, including one officer.
