SEVENTY HORSES NOW
WINTERING AT TRACK.
Recent Additions Include Fine TrOt-
ters and PAGERS.

Recent Additions Include Fine TrOt-
ters and PAGERS.
There are now quartered at the Sa-
vannah Racing Associations track
seventy trotting and running racers,
all of which will be kept here. until
the spring.
The recent arrivals include a string
of trotters under the charge of George
w. Haight, one of the best known
trotting horse trainers in the South.
Mr.. Haight has under his charge about
twenty fine trotters and PAGERS. These
are owned by different men in the
East, who have heard of the splendid
climate here for wintering horses.
Mr.. Alex. Doyle, who has been taxi
ing the circuit of fairs throughout
the South, has also brought in his
string of six runners and will keep
them there for the rest of the winter
Mr.. John Cheney, who was here last
year with twelve yearlings belonging
to Mr.. Schulz, the millionaire trotting
horse owner of New York, is expect
ed in few days with a string of four
teen youngsters.
Manager Joe Doyle said yesterday
that with the horses that are now
quartered at the track it is possible
to give as good mixed meeting as is
seen anywhere in the country, and II
is probable that matinee races will be
arranged for the near future.

ARE THE STATES WHICH HAVE
OUTLAWED BONDS IN DANGER?
Gov. Terrell Receiving Letters Declaring Danger
in Proposed Arbitration Treaties

Atlanta, Dec. 14.-Is there grave
danger to Georgia and other states
which have outlawed bonds issued as
the result of fraud, in the proposed
arbitration treaties with England,
France and other foreign Powers?
Gov. Terrell is in receipt of almost
daily communications from Phfladel-
phia. evidently emanating from certain
Irish societies, which declare that such
danger exists, an effort being made to
enlist the states which have outlawed
fraudulent securities in opposition to
these proposed treaties which will
come before Congress.
Just what the motive of the Irish
societies may be in its strenuous OPP
position to these treaties is not made
to appear in the literature which has
come to Gov Terrell. But the cry of
wolf is raised, and 1t may be up
to those interested to see If there is
really any wolf to be feared.
The arbitration campaign is charac-
terized as "a conspiracy to compel the
payment of Confederate bonds and re-
well known, Georgia has quite a num-
Der outstanding, or at least of bonds
which have been declared void because
OF the fraud connected with their is
sue.
Here are some extracts from one OF
the circulars which has just come into
Gov. Terrelrs hands:
THE claim made by Mr.. Simon
Schafer of New York that the bonds
which North Carolina readjusted In
1879, can be used to great advantage
by foreign governments and the re-
cent speculative suit against North
Carolina by South Dakota TO recover
the principal and twenty-five years in
terest OF bonds donated to South Da-
kota by Mr.. Schafer and associates,
| gives sinister Significance 10 the at
tempts made I'm 1897 and the present
year to coerce the Senate into ratifylng
treaties or arbitration with foreign
| governments.

tration project from its inception has
been TO annul or abrogate Article III

FOUND FOR REPUBLICANS.
Results of the Election in Colorado
May BE Changed.

May lie Changed.
Denver, Col, Dec. 14.-By deciding
to-day to throw out the vote of Pre-
cinct Seven, Ward Eight of this city,
in consequence of frauds committed
there at the late election, the Supreme
Court established a precedent that may
be applied to many other precincts in
which, it is alleged, the courts in
junction order was violated and there
by vitality affect the results of the late
election.
Should similar action be taken in
other cases to the extent demanded by
the Republican lawyers, it will result
in the election of the entire Republican
legislative ticket in this county and
give the Republicans control of both
branches of the Legislature. On the
face of the returns the Republicans
have a majority in the House and the
Democrats a majority in the Senate.
Another result of the exclusion of
few precincts would be to put the
Republicans in possession of all the city
and county offices except the may
orally, should the Supreme Court de-
eide that the spring election was not
legal and that these offices were to
be filed at the November election.
The Democratic majorities ran from
200 to 1000.
Should the entire vote of those city
wards over which the Supreme Court
assumed jurisdiction be disregarded,
Alva Adams, Democratic candidate for
Governor, would lose 1S,S45 votes and
Gov. James Peabody, Republican s.
Sal, net loss of 10,304 for Adams,
but this alone would not result in
his defeat as his majority in the state
on the face of the returns Is something
over II. 900.

GAME WITH SAVANNAH YESTER-
DAY CALLED OFF AT LAST MINUTE.
NO GAME HAS BEEN AR
RANGED BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
TEAM WILL PUT IN ALL SPARE
TINE IN PRACTICE.

Much disappointment Expressed mt
the Failure of the ArtiIIerymen to
show Up-LOcRIs Expected n Hard
Practice Game-Becent Clash of
Authorities Suggested as Reason
fer Failure of Team to Come to
Next Week for the Savannah
Team.
At the twelfth hour the game of
football which was to have been played
between the Savannah team and the
eleven from Fort Screven was called off
yesterday, and there was a crowd of
disappointment enthusiasts in the
city.
A Letter was received by Manager
McIntire on opening his mail yester-
day morning. from Lieut.. Winslow,
athletic director at the fort, in which
it was explained that owing to the in
jury of several of the men the fort
team wiuld be unable to keep its en-
gagement with Savannah.
A number of people who did not hear
of the game being called off went to
the park, and were disappointed. Much
unfavorable comment was heard of the
hardness of the Fort Screven manage
ment in notifying the Savannah team
of their inability to play the game
The suggestion was made that per-
haps the recent clash between the mill
tary and civil authorities was largely
responsible for the failure of the fort
team to appear on the gridiron yester-
day.
1t is known that Col. Anderson was
incensed at the treatment to which
Corpl. Wagon was subjected on the
occasion of the Thanksgiving day
game. In his Letter, however, Lieut.
Winslow mentioned the fact that Jones
and other, members of the team were
not in fit physical condition to play the
game.
With Christmas so close at hand,
when the Jacksonville team comes
here for a return engagement, it has
been decided not to attempt another
game in the interim. Between now and
Christmas every available minute
will be put in hard practice, and Capt.
Cope expects to have the men in the
pink of condition when they have the
second try at the Jays.
Sale of seats for the Christmas game
has already commenced, and over a
hundred have already been reserved.

and then, through an International
court, compel the Southern states, and
Michigan, to pay with interest the
bonds which they 'readjusted' or repu-
dated before and after the Civil War
Minnesota may also be involved, as
that state forced a so per cent. read
justment of it's bonds and coupons in
1881.
The arbitration campaign began in
the Northern states, after many
Southern states had completed their
read1ustment programme, and after it
had become certain that the United
States courts would not and could not
set aside the eleventh amendment to
the constitution. 1t reached its eli
max when the Olney-Pauncefote treaty
was sprung upon the country.
The Venezuela convention marked a
radical change In the policy of the
United States government i'm relation
TO owners of bonds. Prior to that
time, and, therefore, prior to the re-
adjusting action of the Southern states.
the United States had denied the right
of governmental intervention on be-
half OF its citizens, who were share
holders in the securities or bonds of
foreign governments. 1t Justly held
that they had no preferred claims over
the other holders Great Britain act
ed upon the same principle. The Eng
fish Umpire dismissed the claims Of our
citizens. who held bonds of New
Granada and Mexico. and the United
States Commissioner refused to enter
tain the claims of holders OF bonds of
Florida, and the Republic OF Texas.
THE Olney-Pauncefote Treaty en-
phasized the change OF policy by ex-
pressly stipulating that financial
claims in which "a state was con-
cerned should be referred en- masse
to the semi-foreign tribunals created
by the treaty, and in event OF dis
agreement, be finally and irrevocably
decided by the King of Sweden.
The exposure of these provisions
killed the treaty and impressed its
promoters with the necessity OF fur
Their concealing their real object

TWO FIREMEN DIED
In the Big Fire That Rnged in Min
neapOIis.


Minneapolis, Mimi. Dec. 1.-TWO
fremen We're killed, three others pain
fully burned and property valued at
sSS0,O0O was destroyed by a fire which
began late last night and was not I'M
der control until this morning.
The dead are:
Jacob F. Miller, insurance patrolman.
John Fellows. pipeman.
The principal losers were the Hale
Homestead Company, $150,O00; Boutell
Bros, 5000, and Powers department
store, s225.O0O. The total insurance is
$647 900.
The fire started in the Photographic
supply house of o. H. Peck. Although
the building was heavily stocked with
chemicals, the fire fighters had little
doubt of their ability to confine the
flames to that building and they at
tackled the fire on all sides.
All al once the wires that controll-
ed the automatic sprinkler system in
the building turned a dull red, and in
another instant the whole interior of
the building burst into a blaze. The
sprinkler wires had in some way touch
ed heavily charged electric light WIRE
and the great volume of superheated
air mingled with gases from varnish
and baking wood was instantly set
aflame.
Three firemen who were with Pipe
man Fellows succeeded in making mi
raculous exits down the fire escapes
from the fifth floor, but Fellows run
ming to the elevator shaft, slid down
the cables in the belief that the lower
part of the building had not yet be-
gun to burn. He slid into a mass of
names and was seen no more.
Jacob Miller stumbled into the ele-
vator shaft and fell five floors to the
basement. Efforts were made to res
cue him, but in the rising flood of
water and the roaring furnace of flames
his body could not be located by his
comrades
