ATLANTA, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 11, 189a PRICE FIVE CENTS. BOODLE FOR GEORGIA, IF A LITTLE MONEY IS LET LOOSE. The Scheme to be Worked in the Ninth District Money to be Spent in Trying to Elect a Republican Over Colonel Livingston. Washington, August The republican congressional committee here is in daily correspondence with Buck and the other leading republicans of Georgia. The Georgia crowd want to contest in all of the congressional districts and want money sent from here for the purpose.

The republican committee have instructed them to put out a candidate in each district and to poll the full republican vow. They think it, however, useless to spend money in more than three of the and indeed they have only decided positively upon two. The two positive ones are the ninth and fifth, while the doubtful one is the first. In the ninth So.OOO is to for the republican candidate to be be decided upon by Buck and his gang WILL TKY TO SEDUCE PICKETT. Buck and Darnell promised Ilarrison a year ago that this district should send a republican to the fifty second congress.

Pickett is an avowed candidate, and if Darnell wore to run, Buck bus reasoned to the leaders here that neither he nor the "parson" could win, but the election would go to Colonel Winn. Therefore, it has been thought advisable to use the money on Parson Pickett, provided he will agree to act as an independent of the Frr.l.'Tstone practically a republican. Thus, if the parson agrees to this, the force of the urn lustration, which includes all the deputy marshals and a bright block of o.OOO new glut ring silver dollars will be thrown into the ninth, and matters will be as lively as they used to be when Emory Speer was whooping up things in the old ninth. Considering the close race, Parson Pickett ran the one eyed plow boy of Pigeon Colonel the republican committee here put him down as a sure victor. THINK THEY CAS BEAT LIVINGSTON.

The other fellow's scalp the republicans are Tilling to spend money to take is Colonel Livingston's. They claim Atlanta to be a republican town if the full vote was polled and counted fairly. Of course this is a wild claim, but still it is claimed. Then they say Stewart's friends all over the tho lawyers, the merchants and the would rather see a good, respectable and honest republican in congress than Colonel Livingston, who has succeeded in wrecking their ambitions. Reasoning in this wise, the committee is willing to spend a small sum in the fifth on strong man.

They would like to have Governor Bullock, but if they can't get and it is believed they then probably Colonel Ed Angier will be the selection. Uuck, however, is not so enthusiastic about the fifth as the ninth. THEIR EYES ON THE FIRST DISTBICT. The first, or Savannah district, is the other one the republicans have their eyes on, and the Georgia leaders are claiming, if onongh money is sent down to bring out the negro vote, they can carry it. This is, however, yet an open question with the congressional committee.

In the other districts tights have been ordered for the purpose of showing tho actual strength of tho republican party in Geogia. The republican committee will, however, throw away no money. They are only to put money in the southern districts where they believe it will tell, and in Alabama they will fight for tw members, one to succeed General Wheeler, the other in the district now represented by McDuflie, who occupies the seat Tom Reed and his pirate gang stole from Mr. Tupin. In South Carolina the republicans will content themselves with contesting for Colonel Elliott's seat in the Port Royal district.

In Florida they will fight for Bullock'6 seat, While in Mississippi and Arkansas they will contest in nearly all tho districts. The coin ErUee will content itself if the republicans can hold their own in Tennessee and North Carolina, but will fight hard in Virginia. In Lor.i i.iua they expect Coleman to come back. Texas will be the only southern state the committee will not touch. They have no hopes there.

However, look out for large blocks of republican boodle in the old ninth Georgia. DETERMINED TO PASS THE BILL. Representative Roswell P. Flower, of New York, chairman of the democratic congressional committee, who is recognized as one of the shrewdest of democratic politicians, said last night, in speaking of the changes of the force bill in the senate, that the republican leaders are as much determined today to pass the foree bill as they were when they forced it through the house caucus. For one reason for its passage, they seejn the growing discontent in the country a hundred reasons now, and the obstacles already encountered only spur them on the more.

in their ranks on economical questions have made the passage of the election bill more necessary to party success than ever, and they intend to pass it, if tbey can, in spite of the protest from the business interest. THE CONGER LARD BILL. The Conger lard bill has been again postponed. It will not come up this week, as, on account of the Grand Army Republic meeting in Boston, it is not expected a quorum can be secured. Next week, Speaker Reed, however, it can be taken up and acted upon.

E. W.B. THE WARRING REPUBLICS. The Difficulty in Obtaining Reliable News from Central America. Washington, August No news was received by the state department today from Central America.

The situation there is not altogether clear, and until matters are Straightened out it is thought best not to make public the dispatches which have been received. The means of communication between the department and Minister Mizner have been very unsatisfactory. There can hardly be any doubt that a censorship had been exercised over dispatches to aud from the American minister, and the location of Minister Mizner at San Jose, Guatemala, has been peculiarly unfortunate, as all dispatches to him bad to pass over telegraph lines in each of the warring countries, thus telegraphic interference was not only easy but difficult to trace. Jfr. Wharton, assistant secretary of state, tonight that Mr.

Mizner had left San Jose for LaLibertad in order that he might be on pal vadorian soil and use his good offices with Salvador to bring about an amicable settlement between the two hostile nations at the beginning of hostilities. THE UNITED STATES A3 PEACEMAKER. Mr. Mizner was instructed to offer the mediation of the United States in bringing an adjustment of the matters in dispute. Neither country has asked the United States to a peacemaker, but this try has, in pursuance of its settled policy to prevent, if possible, any serious disturbance between American republics, endeavored by its good offices to bring about an amicable understanding between Guatemala and Salvador.

Its instructions to Minister Mizner have been framed in accordance with this policy. The situation at present is rather undofinable. Minister Mizner has, from his position in Guatemala, been unable tocommuuicatewith Salvador, and his removal from San Jose to La Libertad was made in order that he might be where he could freely offer to Salvador ihe mediation of the United States, and also improve communication between himself and tho state department. A DI LL WEEK FOR CONGRESS. Owing to tho Encampment at Boston, Little Business WU1 Be Transacted.

Washington, August Owing to the fact that many members have gone to Boston to attend the Grand Army encampment, it is probable that little or no business will bo transacted in the house before the latter part of tho week. It was the intention of tho leaders to assign a week to the agricultural committee, which seeks action on the compound lard and meat inspection bills, and to tho committee on education, which is ready to call up the bill to extend aid to the agricultural colleges. But it is feared that no quorum will be present or that if there is, it will include a majority of democrats, who might, by their action, derange the plans of the committee. The proceedings, therefore, will probably bo confined to action upon the conference reports and upon the fortification and sundry civil appropriation bills, probably interspersed with recesses of a day or more. In the senate the tariff bill will be discussed until Friday, when it is expected that the river and harbor bill will be taken up.

But this is not altogether certain, as several senators are opposed to the tariff bill being displaced by any bill. The discussion of the tariff bill will probably be interrupted by the presentation Of conference reports on the sundry civil appropriation bill and tho land grant forfeiture bill. NORTHERN PROTESTS. The Solid Business Men Against the Force Bill. Washington, August Protests against the force bill aro not confined to the southern people.

Some days ago I telegraphed you the substance of a memorial signed by a number of northern men now living at Florence, who objected in strong terms to the passage of the bill. Today two more noteworthy protests were presented'to the one by Mr. His cock, of New York, and the other bv Mr. Pasco, of Florida. Both memorials were signed by business men of New York city, whose political affiliations are about evenly divided between the two parties.

Ono hundred and six gentlemen signal the memorial that was sent to Senator Hiscock. Their objections to the bill briefly are that it is unnecessary and inexpedient, and calculated to create discontent between the people of the two sections: that the property of the south is being taxed to educate the illiterate, and with the growth of intelligence the race question will be rationally and peacefully solved; that the bill, in their judgment, will turn back the clock hands of progress that it wiU alarm capital and injure alike whites and blacks, south and north that the measure is partisan rather than for the public benefit, and that it does not ombody the spirit of the dead and gone leaders of the party Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. From among thw signers I have selected at random the names of upward of two score to show the character and business standing of the memorialists: F. B. Thurber, A.

THE KNIGHTS' FIGHT THE CENTRAL EMPLOYING NEW MEN And Say Everything Will Go AlongSi Today Conference of Railroad Officials Vice President Webb New York, August The complete paralysis of all traffic on the New York Central road, caused by the Knights of Labor, when they struck their first blow Friday nigfct, led them to believe that they could maintain stoppage of business on roads of tho company. This they have not succeeded in doing, and it is evident that a general filing of disappointment prevails among tbo strikers, though they will not admit this, 'hoy placed strong reliance upon the of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginews, who, aborting to many of the knights, were to have taken a hand in the fight last night. Holland, himself, to'd a reporter yesterday afternoon, that there was an understanding to that effott, but today he said lie had nothing further to say about the matter and could not tell what the brotherhood would do.

A prominent member of the brotherhood said today that the locomotive engineers were not to be in this strike. It was not their fight, but, of course, he added, should they be ordered out they would go. He did not think such an order would be given. Tho brotherhood, said several others, remembers the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy strike, in which their places were taken by the Knights of Labor, and are not overanxious to help the knights now. Today the regular schedule passenger service of the Hudson River and New York Central and Harlem roads was resumed, the only change being the consolidation of certain outgoing western These THE STRIKERS Police Captain Mcllvain, who is on duty at the Grand Central depot, reported everything exceedingly quiet.

No arrests have been made and none of the strikers had been seen around the depot or along the line of the road, "Though all necessary precautions are taken to nip any demonstrations in the bud," be said, "I do not anticipate any trouble. It looks very much to me as if the whole thing will be over by Tuesday morning. I am not, of course, speaking officially, but from general hearsay. I have seldom seen a more orderly crowd of strikers. There arc no longers around, and no gatherings anywhere.

The men confer at their headquarters, but do so quietly. ONFERENCE OF THE OFFICIALS. John J. a member of tho executive board of knights, today said, he had nothing to impart, and was very uncommunicative during the afternoon, General Manager John M. T.msey.

Manager Theodore Yoothees, John H. Fife, B. A. Loomis, J. J.

The result was that applications were received by tho score.

By one of the officials it was said that men had been taken on. He also declared that all the men engaged were experienced railroad men. Mr. Voorhees said that he had received a number of applications from railroad men living around New York, among whom were some employed on elevated roads, others from Pittsburg, ami from men employed in the Erie yards. Some even came from as far west as Chicago.

The company bad not engaged them, as they found they could obtain all they required in the city. Late in the afternoon the following circular was issued by Third Vice President Webb, and was the result of a long deliberation of the conference held by the road's officials: POSITION OF THE COMPANY. "The position of the company is this," said Mr. Webb. "We shall select our own men, and we do not propose that they will be designated by the Knights of Labor or its When men are dismissed we shall get rid of the inefficient, most vicious, and those least in accord with our interests.

When promotions are to be made we will not be bound by the seniority rules, promulgated by the Knights of Labor. Due consideration will always be given to the length of service, but tho first and most important rule will be the qualifications of men for the place. If our men have grievances, the proper officers will be willing to grant hearings and see that consideration is given, but we will not allow outsiders to intervene or interfere between employer and employe. For this reason alono, I refused to allow Hollard to discuss any differences alleged to exist between the company and its men, and not for the reason as stated, that we object to our em being members of labor organizations. ployes are my views and I am satisfied that ar they are concurred in and approved by every official of the company, by its board of directors, and by the men who are most interested in its security.

The strike is ill advised and cannot succeed, and we will put it down and maintain the position we have taken." THE MASTER WORKMAN ARRIVES. Master Workman Lee, of the strikers' district assembly, arrived from Albany at noon today and attended a meeting of the Knights of Labor this afternoon. More than 3,000 were present.

He added "If Chief Arthur does not givo his consent tho engineers will go out anyway."

Two freight trains were delayed about two hours this afternoon for want of switchmen at certain points, but were let out by Station Agent Welch.

Jon.v Dudlow. AFTER. THE RAILROAD. Barillas Sent His Soldiers to Take a Train to Enable Him to Flee the Country. City of Guatemala, August Late Friday night the superintendent of the Guatemala Central railroad received orders to keep a special train constantly under steam, in order to proceed to the port of San Jose, subject to the disposal of President Barillas.

It is believed that the president is going to flee from the country, Tho train was got ready, when the government sent a squad or company of soldiers, ostensibly to watch over it, but the purpose of the soldiers' presence was not explained to the superintendent of the railroad, who became alarmed at the government's action in sending troops to the company's premises, which is American property. He went at once, though late at night, to the American legation, but Minister Mizner was away. He then used tho railroad telegraph to the port of San Jose and communicated with the commander of the United States man of war Thetis, anchored off the port, requesting him to send protection for the railroad proper and its employes. An answer came immediately from the commander of the Thetis that he would send one of his officers up to Guatemala to reconnoitre and watch over events, but that he could not send up an armed force from his vessel unless specially requested to do so bv the American minister. The officer arrived this morning and is at the railToad station.

All the foreignors have appealed to their legations for protection in view of the impending crisis. The latest rumor is that Barillas has appealed to the diplomatic corps, not now to arbitrate in the Salvador matter, but to protect and sustain his government. News has just reached here of the reported arrival of a British man of war at San Jose. This city has the of a churchyard at midnight. All is silent as the grave, and the people have to keep within their houses, not knowing what moment the cannon's roar may' break the silence.

A COLORED TEACHER IN TROUBLE. There is trouble between the democrats and the negro republicans of this city. The negm democratic club has made charges against J. N. Clayton, a colored teacher in the public school, ana demand his removal.

They charge that he teaches more republican politics in his school than anything else, and mistreats and humiliates the children of colored democrats. They also charge that he instructs his pupils to insult white children; that he visits saloons and does many other things unbecoming a teacher. The charges have been filed with the board of education and an Investigation demanded. Clayton is from Ohio and has been teaching in the public schools here four years. He is also editor of the Bulletin, a weekly paper published in the interest of his race.

He denies all the charges and his republican friends are rallying to his support. Several tights have occurred on account of the matter, and intense feeling has been aroused among the negro politicians of the city. The negro democratic club is a strong organization, and it claims it can prove every charge made against Clayton. The board of education will investigate the matter. SELECTING THEIR DELEGATES.

Columbia, S. August On Wednesday next the convention called to decide whether state officers will be nominated by primary or convention, will meet in this city. A bitter canvass has been made on this issue, the Btraightouts have contested every inch of ground, but the result is that thirty out of thirty four counties will send Tillman delegates pledged against the primary. It is the cleanest sweep ever made where there has been any opposition. The action of the body, however, is watched with the deepest interest.

It is probable that the Tillman faction, having everything in their hands, will nominate their ticket aud save themselves the expense of holding another convention. If this is done, those opposed to Tillman will consider thut his faction is clearly out of the democratic party and will act accordingly. In the face of the apparent overwhelming majority of the Tillman side, work is being vigorously pushed by his opponents, aud very interesting and important developments are expected in the next few days. The convention will probably be a very stormy one, and may result in trouble. Tillman has promised to appear before the body and ask that they grant the primary as the straightouts urge.
