of here and go back to the sea, because
neither the Sultan of Bacolod nor the
panadungan wants to be your friend.
Within this month we want the war
to begin, and il you do not want it

of hogs that eat hogs, and in not pre-

MACON MEN PETITION
FOR MESSENGERS.
Maxwell is Trying to Straig
Matters Out.

Matters Out.
Macon, Jan. 6.-To-day a petit
ton signed by several hundred of its
principal patrons in the city, was pre-
scented to Manager jackson of the
Western Union office, asking that the
negro messenger boys be discharged
and the white boys reinstated. The
petition was promptly forwarded to
Supt B. F. Dillon at Jacksonville. The
management here will wait to hear
what he-has to say in the matter.
Assistant Superintendent Maxwell
of Savannah arrived here this morn
ing, having come to help Manager
jackson straighten out the situation.
He says that neither Macon nor the
boys have been Disseminated against.
He mentioned Savannah, Atlanta,
Tampa and Jacksonville among the
places where negroes are employed
without protest. He said that as to
the boys they would be able to make
as much at the very beginning and
more after awhile by the arrangement
with the District Messenger Service.
He says that the office did not wish
to employ negroes and did so under
compulsion in order to deliver tele-
grams and discharge it's obligations to
the public. 1t has stated that those
seen by him were satisfied with this
explanation, and that he would visit
every signer of the petition to settle
the question without hard feeling.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day affirmed
the opinion of the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana in the case of E. M. Chad
wick VS.. John M. Kelly
Chadwick attacked the validity of
an ordinance of the city of New Or
leans requiring city contractors to give
bond to employ only residents of the
city on the work in which they NAV
be engaged. He was the owner Of
property abutting streets which were
under process of Improvement, and he
complained that the effect of the op-
GRAFTON of the ordinance was to in
crease the cost of the improvement to
him. The Louisiana court held that
as Chadwick was not party against
whom the discrimination, IL any, had
been practiced. he was not in a posi-
ton to attack the validity of the or
dinance and therefore dismissed the
complaint.

HOWELL IS NOW MAYOR.
Made His Inaugural Address in At
Ianta Last Night.


Atlanta, Jan. 5.-The old and new
City Councils held meetings tonight,
the former being signalized by the
farewell address of Mayor Minis and
the latter by the inaugural address of
Mayor Evan P. Howell.
Capt. Howell was sworn in by Judge
j. Fl. Lumpkin of the Superior Court.
The only action of interest taken by
the new Council was the passage of
a resolution by Councilman Key pro-
viding for an investigation of the
charges relative to the Police Board
made by the chairman of the board,
Capt. James w. English Capt. Eng
fish, in a recent interview, stated
that the Police Department was not
being run altogether in the interest
of the public, the intimation being that
certain members of the board were
serving their own ends rather than
the public good.
Among other things, the new Mayor
said that he purposed abiding strictly
by the law In his administration, in
sisting upon its enforcement.
The Mayor does not regard the price
the city pays for it's electric. lights as
reasonable. Unless the company sees
fit to reduce this price, he will rec
ommend that the city establish its own
plant ana 40 ltS own 1gntlng.
Regarding any new companies asking
franchises of the city the Mayor said
that they should be considered as upon
exactly the same basis as companies
already enjoying Atlanta franchises.
His qualification in the knowledge that
Atlanta is to have a new union pas
senger station was expressed.
The establishment of a commission
to determine what disposition should
be made of the city's sewerage was
recommended.

FOR THE CUBAN TREATY.
Cuiiom is Hoping for an Early Re-

Cuiiom is Hoping for an Early Re-
port by the Committee.
Washington. Jan. 5.-Senator CulIom.
chairman Of the Committee on For
eign Relations, had an extended con-
ference with the President to-day con-
corning the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
which is pending before his committee.
He hopes that it may be reported from
the committee to the Senate either the
latter part of this week or the first of
next, and as soon as possible afterward
he will move for its consideration by
the Senate.
Senator Cullom believes that while
some opposition to the treaty has de-
veloped, 1t will be ratified.
President Roosevelt's confidence in
the success of the treaty has not been
shaken in the least by the rumors of
opposition. In fact, during the past
few days he has received assurances
from some of those senators who last
spring opposed the Cuban legislation
that they would support the treaty. 1t
is understood also that many of the
beet sugar men have withdrawn their
opposition to the ratification Of the
treaty.
