INSURGENTS MAY
 to ID ATLANTA

Several members of the insurgent party from Tennessee were discussing a trip to Atlanta yesterday, and it Is probable that a party will be going to that city either today or tomorrow.
 MT. Johnsonious, chairman of the Ala bama division, stated yesterday that the band of insurgents would more than like ly be scattered still further throughout the states adjoining Tennessee. but that 1t was the intention of the fusionists to maintain headquarters in Birmingham. where all could reassemble.
 There are some of the party, however, who stated last night that they would stay in this city until the end. They were aware of the intention on the part of others of the members to visit Atlanta. but for themselves they said they were satisfied with Birmingham.
 Nothing unusual happened yesterday in the ranks of the fusionists. None of them has any idea of returning to Tennessee for some time to come, and certainly not before every assurance has been given them that their original object has been attained

also was captured the Ninth Indiana cavalry and a negro regiment by whom they were joined in the vicinity of Sul- phur 'trestle.
 Colonel Moore and Captain Rule have gone over the action with minute re gard to the detail and can recall now just exactly how the whole affair was pulled off.
 Colonel Moore has the distinction of commanding the only organized regi- ment of Confederate soldiers in ex- istence He still has the bearing of soldier and carries himself with erect ness. He has keen gray eye, and his whole appearance is made striking by a long iron-gray beard.
 Captain Rule Is one of the jolliest members of the party>of legislators. He always has a word of pleasantly for everyone he meets and even Colonel Moore forgets most of his dignity when Captain Rule recounts the incidents of the capture.

yesterday morning. They went over the financial condition, discussed informally the statement and finally decided to think over the question few days before talk ing up any measures for a liquidation of the deficit It Is stated that the full and complete report of Accountant simpson will be ready for presentation the latter part of this week. That will simply carry the details of the condition, and will not add any light to the exact con- dition on April 10, a5 shown in the ac- companying supplementary report
 The showing made of over s5oO,o0o deficit will not persuade the commissioners that a bond issue is unnecessary it is said However, it was suggested yesterday that in the event some reduction were pos sible in the figures appended, that loan would be f1oated and not bond issue.
 The commissioners. however, have each expressed the opinion that bond issue is imperative, and this may be decided upon.
 It is taken as logical that President Gull pepper Exum, in charge of the financial department, will outline plan for finan- cial relief to be presented to the board. He will perhaps take this up in few days and suggest the plan to the com missioners However, it is stated they see the imperativeness of immediate aci tion and may discuss the condition in full session.
 The bond issue will not be considered bv the commissioners until the complete financial statement is made, and then the commissioners, If in their judgment the issue must be made, will explain carefully to the citizens how much is needed, what 1t is for and how they intend to appor- tion 1t.

ANDREA DEL SARTO
 RAREST 0F TREATS
Content of Ideal Life" Was Griggs' Topic Last
 Night

A notable interpretation of Browning's s Andrea del sarto'' was given yesterday afternoon at the High school by Dr. Edward Howard Griggs, as the third of his series on Browning. "The Content of the Ideal of Life" was the topic of the evening lecture, the third in the course on ethical factors in social prog ress.
 The afternoon lecture was considered the rarest treat yet offered the students of Browning. The most general comment was to the effect that it was worth go- ing miles, to hear alone Dr.. Griggs sympathetic reading of the poem. His inexpressible charm was never felt more profoundly, and without raising his voice to a more than ordinary pitch he held his audience simply spenbound.
 The poem is supremely interesting, ac- cording to Dr Griggs, because it is char acteristic of so much of Browning s work It is the subtlest of all the poets subtle delineations of personality. Wheth- CT or no it truly reflects the historical character of del Sarto, stated the lec- turer, it is still masterpiece of psy- chological analysis.
 pr. Griggs presented the actual facts of the "faultless painter's' life to prove that Browning's sketch was historically accurate He called attention to that elusive quality of del Sarto's paintings, in "The Lords Supper particularly, which leaves the impression on the ob- server that despite the absolute perfec- ton of the work, there Is still lacking that spiritual essential for which the artist strove.
 Both in the poem and in actual life, saiI Dr. Griggs, the painters life is a picture of pathetic failure to realize his ideals, because of the fact that he has wasted his love on a beautiful but un- feeling and unsympathetic woman, Lu- crezia, and sold his soul to her.
 The topic of the lectures this after noon and tonight will be, respectively, .'The Portrayal of Failure: Cleon," and Greek and Christian Ideals in Modern Civilization"
