LISTLESSNESS IN MILITARY.

REMARKS UPON 1T.

Says That General Apathy" Is in
Command of the Georgia state

of the Legislature Busy.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.-Acording to Assist
ant Adjutant General w. ]. Scott,
General Apathy is now in command
of the military press of Georgia. Here
is what he says:
There is less interest now In mill
tary affairs in Georgia than l have
known for the past twelve years. 1
don't know the cause for the apathy.
The men, as well as the officers, seem
to have lost interest somehow. 1t does
not apply to any one section of the
state, but it is general throughout the
state. / can't see the reason, for the
state does everything in it's power for
the military men. New guns have re-
Gently been issued, new uniforms were
given some time ago. and next year
there are to be more encampments."
EOuA IAhy SuSpccAcu'
A man, who is supposed to be Gus
Anderson, died at the Grady Hospital
last night. Wednesday night he was
picked up on the street unconscious,
and never regained sensibility. He is
supposed to have come from Braswell,
Ga. There is a suspicion of tour play,
though evidence of it is scarce.
bookkeeping Too Loose.
The legislative investigating commit
tee, of which Hon. Joe Hill Hall of
Bibb is chairman, came here to-day for
the purpose Of comforting with Gov.
Terrell about matters at the state asy-
lum, where the committee has been at
work for several days past. The Gov
ernor was anxious to confer with the
committee before making his appoint
ments of trustees, which he will do to-
morrow.
AS a result of the investigation at
the asylum it will be recommended that
the system of bookkeeping there be
changed as the present system is
rather a loose one, the only accounts
being kept on check book stubs. There
are other matters at the asylum which
the committee brought to the Govern
or's attention, but they were not made

Russell for Parker.
William Hepburn Russell. the we'll
known New York lawyer now engag-
ed in litigation here, talking of the
presidential situation to-day, said:
German is a good man, and so is
Hill and especially so is Judge Park
er. My own personal choice is Park
er. Throughout he has been a con-
sistent Democrat. He has also the
great advantage Of sulting the New
York delegation, and being strong in
the state. Odell in the last election,
carried the state by only 10000 votes.
and if Parker had been put up, 1 be-
lieve the state would have rolled up
tremendous Democratic majority.
LAS for Cleveland, the third term
would stand in his way even If he
were nominated" Judge Parker to me
seems the ideal candidate. He is
thoroughly Democratic, without
blemish on his public career, a man
who has already demonstrated his pop
ularity, especially in New York state.

Washington Nov 2O.-The Demo-
cratic senators, at a caucus held this
afternoon, decided to consider the Gu
ban bill on it's merits and confined the
discussion to the bill itself, without
bringing in collateral questions. This
means that no tariff amendments will
be offered and that the tariff ques-
ton will not be discussed.
The conclusion was reached at the
end of quite a long conference. The
session was said to be quite harmoni-
Gus, and the decision reached was
practically unanimous. 1t was stated
after the conference that the Demo-
Gratis want it understood that in reach
ing this agreement they have not
abandoned the right on the tariff, but
that they believe they can reach the
tariff in some other way.
The attitude of the Democrats means
early action on the Cuban bill, and
the prospects are for final adjourn
ment of the extra session on Wednes-
day, with an agreement to vote after
a week of debate in the regular ses-
sion, if the Republicans make the mi
nority such a proposition.
