SURPASSED OXLY BY CHICAGO President Cleveland Will Touch the llutton and Start the Machinery of the tii cnt Show - Interest Taken by Colored People. Atlanta, Cla., Sept. lfi. On Wednes day President Cleveland Is to touch the button that will start the machinery at the great Atlanta exposition, and thus formally open the big show to the world. The exposition at Atlanta Is to rank second to nothing of the kind ever attempted before on this continent, ex cept the Columbian fair at Chicago. I'liiortunately for Atlanta, she Is lack ing In one of the features which made tile success at Chicago so pronounced. She hus not the windy traits of charac ter to make herself thoroughly well known before all the world. Atlanta Is pivpai'lnt a much better fair than the people seem to be aware of, and one that the managers should have talked a great deal mote about In every way, for the results are deserving. in the tirst place the "Cotton States and International exposition" will be In Itself a novelty to the big end of these I'nited (States from the location of the fair In the foremost Industrial city of Dixie. A different civilisation Is down here from what people of the north are accustomed to, and bunched as It will be. that alone will constitute a very attractive feature. Ileyoiid the exposition of southern life and cus toms u wonderful Interest must cluster about the negro exhibit. The negro at Atlanta Is to be given an opportunity to show what progress the race has made. The chance will not be a dis appointment for those who have faith that the colored man Is advancing. Uccognition tor the Negro. The Negro building and Its exhibit are the work of colored hands. The black man sought to show at Chicago what he had done since he emerged from slavery and barbarity, but It was left quite appropriately for him to make a thorough display In his own section and encouraged by his old mas ters. The negro has been given full swing to demonstrate what he can do, anil the result will be surprising. He will have at the fair newspapers, honks and works of act produced by colored men. The negro as a factor in busi ness and professional life will be in evidence. On Nov. 11. a meet of the colored military companies from all over the South will be held. Nov. 12 to 15 will be given up to colored religious congresses. At other dates other repre sentative colored bodies will convene at Atlanta, all showing substantial prog ress on the part of the race. In Its general way the Atlanta expo sition will be much like that of Chi cago. Where It will differ from its larger predecessor In size of some of tne exhibits. It will offset the disadvan tage by the completer exhibits In many Instances' than were seen at the Co lumbian fair. Some of the exhibitors have added to their Chicago displays for the present exxsltion, and some have made better collections. The sl'.e of the Cotton States exposition Is a tract of 19 acres of level land about two mllis ftom the heart of the city. called Piedmont park. A lake half a mile long constitutes the central fea ture and one of the chief attractions, for It will be alive with craft of all sorts for the delectation of the visitor. Clustered about the lake will stand the principal buildings. Learning from the experience of the architects at Chi cago, the managers of the Atlanta fair have managed to get excellent results for the ti.:iw,m that has been ex pended on the main building, and the spectacle Is one of grandeur and mag nificence. Pennsylvania's Handsome Building. The Pennsylvania building Is one of the handsomest on the ground. It Is of the Konian order of architecture, with a broad portico and tall columns. Located at one of the bsst and highest points of the park It commands an ex cellent view. The Pennsylvania ex hibit will be complete, and embrace the usual agricultural products, a display of grasses, ferns, insects, butterflies. similar to that at Chicago. A spare of 1 ,So'J sfpiare feet has be,.n set usldo In one of the buildings for a display of the products of manual work In the state schools and penal Institutions. Pennsylvania artists will have lull paintings at Atlanta. Kight thousand dollars of the ::s,0,0 appropriated by the legislature for the exposition will be devoted to the exhibition of women's work. Nearly 7U0 square feet of space has been set apart in the Women's building for Pennsylvania. There is to be shown the work done by Pennsyl vania women. The display will em brace a wonderful variety of things, but the chief will be books and pro ducts of industrial arts. A department of public comfort will help to direct strangers to such places as may he desired, and the manage ment give assurance that the hotels and boarding houses will be amply able to care for all who shall attend. Joint Mclinlon of Blue iind Cray. Sept. 21 Is "illue and Gray" day at the exposition. Coming as It does, Jiint after the Louisville encampment end the did!ratlon of Chlckamauga an im mense army of veterans from both con federate and federal ranks are ex pected to come. The exposition esti mates an attendance on that day of 100,0(10 people. The elaborate pro gramme that has been arranged Is cal culated to attract the largest Joint re union of the veterans cf the two armies that has ever been held. A date of Interest to Pennsylvanians h Nov. 14 Pennsylvania day. The Plttsburg Press cadets will be the guests on that day of the Hibernian Kifles, a crack military organization of Atlanta. And will be reviewed, along with other organizations, by Governor HasWngs In front of the Pennsylvania tate building on the exposition grounds. On the same day the Fifth United States Infantry, located at Fort ddepherson. near Atlanta, will give a complimentary Rpeclal dress parade. Atlanta Is raid to be In better shape for Mie opening on time than any other great exposition that has preceded, BASE BALL VS. BAPTISM. Church Ceremony Postponed to Permit a , On mo to He Played. ' Jamesburg, Kan., Sept. 16. 'Squire Hazen today rode around among the parishioners of the Baptist church, wildly exclaiming "Our preacher has old out to the flesh and the devil." He caused a great stir, a the village was full of country people. Base ball was the cause of his ex cited condition. Jamenburg's greatest pride Is a team that takes the pennant of the county this year. Rev. Mr. Wll klns, the pastor of the church men tioned, has been holding a revival meeting lately, and among the other convertlons he made were five members of the base ball nine. Today was the day set for the general baptising of 'the converts, but the base bull team had to play the Colwich nine at the very hour the baptizing was to take place. The manager uf the Jamcshurg nine requested the minister to post pone the baptizing until tomorrow, so as to allow them to play Colwich, and the request was grunted. When ''Squire llasen heard that the bapll'.ing In his church was postponed for a ball game he became furious, and rode Into town shouting the above ex clamution at the top of his voice.

The Chain of livldcnce Continues to lighten About Durant - Prisoner's He inurkable Nerve. San Francisco, Sept. Id. When court opened in the Durant case this morn ing. Miss Laniguti, a student of the normal school, was called to the stand, and testitled that shortly after H o'clock on the afternoon of April 3 she saw i.MIss 1-unxmt and Theodore Durant side by side on the dummy of a Powell street cur. She Idetitilied n black dress and hut produced as the ones worn by i.Miss La moot at the time. On cross examination she said she did not see Duruut's picture in the paper, but Id'htilicd him at the city hall. At that time no effort was made to mix Durant up with the other persons. i.lrs. Alary Vogel. who lives opposite the school house, identified Durant as a man she had seen waiting outside before the class to which Miss Lntnout belonged was dismissed that after noon. She paid particular attention to him, as she had considerable money In the house, and his suspicious ac tions led her to believe that he was a burglar. She saw him meet the young lady, and watched them get on the car together. .Mrs. Vogel's testimony corroborated that of Miss Kdwards, another of the school girl witnesses. Today when asked to point htm out she walked to within a few feet of Durant and said Impressively: "That Is the man." Durant was unmoved during the scene, but the weight of the testimony Introduced to- j day. as a whole, told on his splendid j nerve. i The prosecution expects to finish its direct case this week. - " VICTORY FOR I'LATT.

FOR THE FREEDOM OF CUBA There Is Yet Hope fur the Island of Discontent. THE UNITED STATES MAY ACT Probability That Cleveland Will Inter vene to Stop the Itevastation of the Islund-'lho Matter to lie l.uid He fore Congress. Washington. Sept. 16. There Is hope for Cuba. Trustworthy Information received here Indicates a settled pur Kse on the tart of the American ad ministration to Intervene 'between the patriots uud their oppressors. Thls.ln terviliit'lon may take the form of In ternational action, following the piece dent set by President Uratit In ls7i, or it may be apioachcd more directly by taking advantage of the first adequate Instance of Injury to or imprisonment of an American citizen In Cuba. In this connection it is Important tn know that Spain Was broiignt to pay ment of the Mora claim only by the pi t pai at ions which this government had made to occupy the port of Havana with American warships. That the ad ministration had decided upon such an extreme measure was some time ago published In the newspapers, it was then (Killed. Put It Is true that the oc cupation of the port of Havana had been decided on by the president uud his cabinet. If Spain had not paid t lie money war between the I'nited Slates and Spain, with liidepeintenee for Cuba, might easily have followed. The Wash ington government had this contingen cy In view when It made tile demand. The Cuban insurgents do not ask for recognition as belligerents. Obviously they do not care for such recognition. It would give them only moral support, and of this I hey already have enough. Dr. Rodriguex and other Cuban patri ots think It would be unwise on the part of this government to recognize the belligerent rights of the Insur gents. Recognition Mot Wanted. Dr. Rodriguez ?ays not a single prac tical point Is to be gained thereby. It merely puts the comnntants on an equality. On the other hand, It might easily operate to the disadvantage of the insurgents. ' It confers the right of search upon the high seas by vessels of both parties, and. as is well known, the Cubans have no vessels. It would greatly Increase the chance of seizure of arms and munition intended for the revolutionists. At the present moment It Is within the law of the United States to sell guns and ammunition to the Cuban patriots. The only trouble Is In delivering the cootls. So lone ns n state of war Is not recognized by this I government Spain can search and seize only within her own Jurisdiction. It would prejudice the Interests of the patriots to give Spain the belliger ent right to search upon the open sea. Furthermore, such recognition would subject our merchant vessels passing near the coast of Cuba to endless an noyance and detention. During the ten-year war General ''.rant was tinted by many Americans to recognize the belligerency of the Cubans. He In quired carefully Into the matter and decided It was not desirable, even after the revolution hail overrun two-thirds of the island and had been In progress seven or eight years. Recognition as belligerents Is not what the situation demunds. Practical action is the only thtng that will meet the emergency. Today the cable brings from .Madrid the reported declaration ! of the government that no reforms can be granted 'the Cubans until they lay down their arms. This Is precisely the position which the American govern ment so energetically protested against nearly twenty years ago. It was Presi dent Grant who brought the Spaniards down from their haughty disregard of human rights on that occasion, and It was not his fault, nor the fault of the American people, that the pledges which Spain made In pursuance of our demands were violated as soon us our backs were turned. tirnnt's Action a Prcecdo.-t. The precedent set by President Grant lives as a guide to present action, and Spain's bad faith gives ample jitstlllca tion for advancing another step with our diplomacy, for adding force. If necessary, to our moral Intervention. Nations, like individuals, must have great Justification for actions which are warranted only by moral rights, in this case the justification is ample, and Is likely to be so ndjudged not only by the American people, but by the powers of Europe. If the United Slates sets out to secure the independence of Cuba, Spain will have no supporter among the nations. Constitutional liberty will b established In Cuba without the filing of an American gun. There Is little doubt that the Cleve land ndliiinlrttt'iitlrtn Will l:ik. unn .1... clslve step looking to the freedom of Cuba. The executive may act on his own account, as he may any moment find pretext for doing. If Impelling cause other than humanity and the rights of man Is needed, It may be found In the destruction and peril of American commercial interests. At least, President Cleveland Is likely to bring the whole matter most forcibly to the attention of congress a few months hence. Santiago J)e Cuba, ept. 7. via Key West. Kla., Sept. 16 In the engage ment between Spanish Colonel Conne las and Jose Maceo In Santa .larla 8a vlgne, near Ramon De Las Yaguus, on Aug. 31, the rebels had prepared more than sixty holes filled with dynamite on the different roads the troops had to pass. When the engagement was over a Spanish regiment murched past one of the traps and the dynamite explod ed, blowing to pieces Lieutenant F'ran clsco Ruiz. Cnptaln Gregorio Romero and thirteen soldiers. When the troops saw this they were so filled with terror that an entire company deserted to the rebels and remained with them. During the engagement between Spanish General Linares and Rebel Leader Rabl, In Dvscanao Del Muerto. near Manganaguaa, the Spaniards took a Spanish soldier prisoner who had Joined the Insurgents at the beginning of the revolution.

And I niuy say In the same con nection tli.it his relations with Mr. Carlisle are nlso very close. Whether he has any preference as between the two, I cannot lay. For that matter, there may be others whom he would look upon wit'i eqiral favor. Yet I do not think- he would undertake to farh lon the sentiment of the party toward any man individually." DR.
