are Now Helpless.
Atlanta, (in., July 17.—The tempest
which lias raged in religious circles the
past week*.over an attempt to regulate
street preaching was stilled to>iiiig.ht by
the city council ref us- *g to pass an or
dinance restricting the spread of the gos
pel to those who secured permits from
the mayor. Marietta street, one of the
thoroughfares ol' the city, is nightly the
rendezvous of preachers explaining their
creeds, and on Saturdays anti Sundays
the pastors of several churches here have
addressed the people from gospel wagons.
The police committee several days ago
decided that street preaching is a nuis
ance.
There were complaints filed with the
chief of police and after a eonferen
between tne chief and police hoard it was
decided that in future street preaching
would be regulated by the police, a per
tiiiit being first secured rein the mayo
as to whom would preach and where
they would talk. This the Baptist
preachers, who conduct six meetings
every Saturday night, decided was a
blow at religious liberty. Under the
leadership of Dr. Brought on the minis
ters of this denomination appeared
before the city council this evening and
succeeded in having the newly formed
ordinance regulating street preaching
killed.

Case of Senator Galluiger.
Washington, July 17. —As a sequel to
the sensational scenes which accompan
ied tin* hearing before Civil Service
Commissioner Brewer last week in New

that State was charged with having vio
lated the Civil Service law in soliciting
campaign subscriptions from Federal
officeholders, Senator Chandler, it is mt
derstood, has lodged a formal complaint,
with the President against Mr. Brewer.
All information as to how far the com
plaint goes, whether it asks for his re
moval or not, is refused ar tin* White
House. In fact, it is not even admitted
then* that Senator Chandler has ad
dressed a communication to the Presi

GEORGIA CROPS SUFFER.
Cotton Burning in the Field and Corn
Much Affected.
Atlanta. Ga., July 17.—Many reports
received at the Department of Agricul
ture show that throughout the State
corn and cotton is suffering because there
has been no rains. State Entomologist
Scott said today:
“In the eastern middle portions of the
State, cotton is burning in tjje fields,
and the corn is suffering from the
drought. A good rain would practically
save the crop, yet there will he great
loss to the farmers. The sun lias prac
tically sealed tlic fate of the cotton crop
in the State for the intensity of the
' heat has brought the plants to maturity
long before the full growth was attained.
Cotton has attained what lias been call
ed the stunted growth and further
growth is impossible now even though
the best seasons were to prevail.”

Georgia negroes imported to Ishkooda
mines to take the places of strikers have

Another invoice of Georgia negroes,
about 200 in number, arrived last night
and were taken to Ishkooda. but when
they were informed of what had hap
pened they, too, commenced leaving.
It is now alleged that the gang who
shot into the water melon feast on Sat
urday night were strikers, and were in
structed at a meeting of strikers held
Saturday afternoon to shoot to frighten
only.
The coroner’s inquest began yesterday
was continued today.

thus completing present knowledge of
the coast line. They will flien return
to Cape Sabine and hope to be picked
up there by tin* steamer next summer.

cross the strait to Littleton Island and
make his way along tin* Greenland coast
to the Esquimaux settlement which
formed the scene of his last exploration.

party will he able to find their way

HARRISON’S BIG BLUNDER
REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE DIM iCRATIC
MEETING AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Oeclares it Absurd to Welcome Those Distin
guished Men Under Auspices of a
Self-ConstiVed Committee.
Chicago, Ills., July 17.—Mayor Carter
Harrison today sent tile following letter
to the committee hi charge of arrange
ments for the Democratic meeting at the
auditorium. July 20:
W. F. Cooling, Esq.. Chairman Com
mittee of Arrangements.
Dear Sir.: Replying to your favor of
the 14th inst.. in which you ask me to
deliver ail address of welcome at the
auditorium July 20. to the National
Democratic Committee and “a large
number of other prominent Democrats
of America,” I regret my inability to ac
cept. In ordinary circumstances I
should be only too glad, both as mayor
of Chicago and as a Democrat to wel
come the National Committee or any
number of prominent Democrats to
Chicago, the city in which the platform
of 1806 was framed, and in which W. J.
Bryan was elevated to his present lead
ership of the national Democracy. 1
cannot hut think, however, it would be
an absurdity to welcome those distin
guished men under the auspices of a
self-constituted committee whose per
sonnel is too obscure to be known even
in its home city. Had this meeting been
organized under tin* direction of Demo
crats of regular ty|ie and known party
standing, it would have afforded me
great pleasure to be present. In the ex
isting circumstances, while thanking you
for the honor. I must beg leave to he
excused.
Respectfully yours.
CARTER 11. HARRISON.
When a copy of Mayor Harrison’s let
ter was shown ex-Governor Altgeld. the
latter said:
“I am sorry the mayor looks at it that
way. He lias made a grave mist ak A.
IK* has lost a golden opportunity.
Should lie come to the meeting and
make a rousing Democratic speech, he
would place himself at the head of the
Democratic party of the State. But he
has lost the chance now. I’m sorry
for it.”
When Mr. Cooling read tin* mayor’s
letter he made the following statement:
“We have given the young man in the
city hall the opportunity of his life,
which he has failed to appreciate.
“There is a tide in the affairs of men
which taken at the Hood leads on to
fortune —the son of Carter Harrison has
ceased to he a Democratic possibility.”
HIS ELECTION BRYAN’S LOSS.

says:
“A meeting of between four and five
hundred Democrats today unanimously
adopted resolutions, denouncing the
methtids by wh'ie'h Win. Goebel was
nominated at Louisville, and tin* Goebel
election law. The resolutions call for a
meeting at Lexington August 20, to
consist of from one to three representa
tives from every county in tin* State, t.o
call a State Democratic convention.
The opinion was expressed at the meet
ing thijt Goebel’s election' means tin
loss of Kentucky, to Bryan next year so
