NO SUNDAY OPENING.
Atlnnla Exposition Director Declare
Against It Overwhelming?-. .
Atlanta, Ga., Bcpt. 30. The question
of Sunday opening was bcttled by an over
whelming -vote at the directors' meeting
on tlie Exposition grounds this afternoon.
There was a very full meeting of the board,
and Mr Cabanlss, manager of ttic Atlanta
Journal, moved that the grounds be opened
and the Mid Way be closed on Sundays.
Tlie vote to lay Mr Cabanlss' motion on
the table has been so overwhelming that
It is not believed that any-further attempt
will be made to open t he Exhibition grounds
on Sunday.
The Woman's Building was formally
opened at Exposition Park to-day. There
was a griat gathering in the Auditorium at
2 o'clock when the exercises of the formal
opening began.
The young ladies' orchestra rendered
a dellghtrul air and Miss Julia Morgan
Harding, the representative of Miss Elsie
Mercur, tlie architect of the Woman's Build
ing, delivered the building to Mrs. Joseph
Thompson, presidentof the Woman's Board,
who received the building on belialf of the
board.

fifty dollars was required, and she was to

Hunt says that after working on the
machine a while ho turned it over to a
gentleman familiar with fucli things, who
firomiscd to take it to Chicago and exploit

did not go to Chicago.
In the meantime Mrs. Nelson began to

co-operation in the great work, without

else, as It should be luc aim to never miss

not permit oi covering the same grouud
twice, and what may be. lost irom one
committee meeting may mar the work
to that extent.
As lar as practicable the appointments
should be made so as to distribute the work
to as many dlilereut members or a tociety
as possible, but In some cases it may be ad
visable to appoint one person to more than
one commiiiee to tecure bc'bt results. In
such cases the tollow lug directions should
be observed to as not to make the duties ora
perton conflict at any one time: (1). Fi
nance committee members may be appointed
to auy of the other committees. (2).
Entertainment committee members may be
appointed to the reception or registration
committees. (3). Decoration committee

Ilelllgerent.
Chicago, Sept. 30. Surrounded by pa
triotic mottoes with the American flag
as a back ground, tlie Declaration of Inde
pendence as a text book and the spirit of
liberty as an inspiration, 4,000 persons
yelled themselves hoarse to-night In the
cause of Cuban Independence. There could
scarcely have been more enthusiasmhud the
meeting been held In Cuba Itself.
Central Music Hall was not big enough to
hold all the sympathizers and there was an
overflow meeting In the auditorium of the
Young Men's Christian Assoclationbullding.
At both meetings the same resolutions were
adopteil and speeches were made by men
prominent in civic affairs, all of whom
uncompromisingly favored thefreeilomof the
little lsuitifl from the thraldom of Spain.
MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY.
Messages of smypathy were read from
Senator Cullom, Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois;
Russell A. Alger, Mayor Plngree, of De
troit; Ss.'nator Call, of Florida; Mayor Bost
wicfc, of Jacksonville, Fla.: Mayor Caldwell,
of Cincinnati: Mayor Salmonson, of Tampa,
Fla.. and other". Nearly every prominent
club and organization In the eity was rep
resentedon tliellstofvicopresidents, which
Included also the best known business and
professional men.
Among the aesociallons represented were
the Loyal Legion, G A It.. Confederate As
sociations Sons or Revolution, and State
Federation of Labor, Irish American,
Scandinavian, German, and Afro-American
societies.
Mayor Swift presided at the misi-tlng at
Central Mutic Hall In oienmg the pro
ceedings he made no speech, but look or
caslon to express himself as In full accord
w H h the inov ement.
The first Rpeaker, Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus.sald
he was n Spaniard, but he could not be true
to hia own country in tlie face of its action
toward the oppressed. The dawn of Cuba's
redemption was already breaking.
A reference made by Dr. Gunsaulus to the
inactivity of the administration met with
cheers and uproarious applause and the
temper or the audience was evident before
ten leniences had been coniphned.
Dr. Gunsaulus was lollowed by Thomas
U. Bryan, Judge William J. lllnes and
Congressman Mason. -
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
To the Rev. Dr. Harrows was intrusted
the reading ol the-resolutions. In full they
am a follows:
"We, citizens of Chicago, gathered to ex
press our deep sympathy with the Cubans
In their brave struggle to secure for them
selves and their children the blessings of
independence, liberty, ana seir-governmcnt.
Jresent the rollowing:
We hold these truths to be self cvidout.
that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
!!.. r!s.hi" ra Z5
..i,;. .....j, ..... ..s ..,,,....,.
that to secure these rights governments are
Instituted among men, deriving their Just I
powers from the consentof the governed;
that whenever any form of government tic-
comes destructive of these ends. It Is the
right of the licople to alter or to abolish
It ana to institute a new government, lay
lug Its foundations on such principles aud
organizing Its powers In such form as to
tbem shall seem most likely to erfeet their
safety and happiness. Prudciie-e, Indeed,
will dictate that governments long estab
lished should not lie changed for light and
transient e-auses. and, accordingly, all ex
Mricnrc has shown that mankind are more
disposed to suffer while evils are suffrr
able than to right themselves by abolish
ing the forms to which they are accus
tomed. But when a long train of abues
and usurpations, pursuing Invariably the
same object, cviiiccs a desire to reduce them
under absolute despotism. It Is their right.
It Is their duty, to overthrow such gove-rn-ment
and to provide new guards for their
future security.
"This historic declaration, made by the
founders of ourrepublleonJulyi, 177b, was
true then and is true to-day. For many
unhappy years the Cubans have licen most
Ehamerully oppressed and cruelly bunlened,
until the yoke of Spanish rule has become
intolerable. If the fathers of American
Independence were Justified In casting off
the oppressive dominion of Great Britain,
theCubanpatrlotsot to-day ha vefargreater
Justification for their attempt to overthrow
the tormenting, impoverishing, heartless
tyranny of the Spanish government.
"We desire "publicly to express our indig
nation that in this year, 1895, the spectacle
is presented ot ship loads of soldiers sent
3,000 ruilesacrosstbeocean to America, 'the
land of the free,' to shoot down In cold blood
a courageous people who simply desire to
govern themselves.
"Our Indignation le further aroused at the
unspakahle cruelty ot the Spaniards
towards the Cubans in this struggle. Death

Cubans captured under arms, and evn thost

We are glad let notice that the course
of the Cubans appears to be more humane,
nnd we take this opportunity of congratu
lating them upon the rcmnrkable progress
they have made In hpltt; ot the terrible
odd against the-m.
"We believe it to be the privilege and
duty ot the Uultid States government to
recognize the rights ot trje Cuban revolu
tionists as belllgervnts as soon as practic
able on being so requested by competent
Cuban authority in accordance with lnter
ntalonal law. such an action of our gov
ernment we deem due let the Cubans and
to the cause of universal llterty.
"While disavowing all tn(ternes ot feel
ing on our part toward Spain, we nev
ertheless believe It is our duly and privi
lege at this time, as citizens ot this free
republic, thus to exjirot our heartfelt
symikithy with our 0ul" neighbors liv
ing upon an Island which -. tnrchas madoa
paradise, but whtcli the cruel methods of
the Spanish government have done much
to eiwil. We respcvtfiilly urge our fellow
citizens throughout the country to assemble
In mass meetings to diffuse information,
and thus arouse or rather deepen the sym
pathy ot our whole people'with the Cubans
In their heroic attempt to rast off the
yoke ot oppression and achieve that free
dom nnd independence whtcfi are the great
highways to happiness and prosperity.
"We also urge the press cud the pulpit
and altar, with voice and prayer, to con
tinue their help to the righteous cause of
men who are bravely fighting for home
and native land.
"We rcspectrully but orgentlv appeal to
the citizens of all the republics in the three
Americas to give emphatic expression to
their sympathv with the struggling" people,
who are making tucli n -gallant light for
that ii.dependence from tin' European rule,
which the other nations ol the new world
have alreadv secured.
"Be It lurther retolved. That the organi
zation, v liicii arranged fcr this gathering,
be reuucsled to take cnarge or acil con
tinue the good work to aiuplciously be-gun
this evening.
Dr Harrow followed the reading of
the resolutions with an appeal for their
adoption. "We are told.'' tmd he; "that
we must keep on good te-rms with Spain,
but there Is a limit, even to good fellow,
ship. I hope these meetings will arouse
a new feeling of Independence and patriot

Fidel O. Plerra Tulkn ot the Situation
ill Culm and Her People.
New York, Sept. 80. The New York
Times will publish to morrow an Interview
with Fidel G. Picrra, a prominent Cuban
and a leader of thought among his country
men. Mr. Picrra is well known In the
United States In commercial as well as
political and literary circles. He was
unanimously elected by-lho United States
representatives of the South American re
publics secretary- of the pan-American con
gress, held lu WashlLgtoudariag the Harri
son administration.
Mr. l'lerra has stood up Xor many years
for the policy of ev olutlou Instead of revo
lution, which he udvocated by pen and worel.
He siicaks, therefore, with the authority
not only or a patriot, but ot a thinker who
has madu a close study ot the problem of
Cuba's welfare.
In contraulLtion to statements made by
Scuor Montoro, a leadercf the autonomist
party. Mr. l'lerra presents facts to show
the extent and strength or-theCuban re-vo-lutiou,
the entire disruption and dissolu
tion of the autonomist party, many of whoso
prominent members are fn'the Ctiuau army,
aud tho critical condition of the Spanish
Mr. Picrra further shows that ojiaiu will
never grant Cuba seir-roverumcut. and In
WnK ISviTSSrSSS
support ot it presents declarations made
uyBcnorsacasta.thelcaaerortheUberals,
when he held the position which Benor
Canovas now holds. And as tmdor the
present Spanish regime In Cuba the country
is noiug rrom bad to vvurs.-. M. l'lerra holds
that there is no other avenue left to the
Cubans but tofightrortheirludepeiidence.
Neither Benor .Montoro. nor other Cubans
calling themselves autonomists, Mr. Plerra
says, have the right to si-tat in the name
or tho Cuban people for .hey are no more
than twenty-tour or thirty gentlemen
without any following nnd ch'scly allied
tothoSpa nongovernment.- ndtolhcmonopo
11s ts who thrive under Its cover.
Mr. l'lerra declares that the war waged
by tlie Cubans Is not directed against the
Spaniards resident In thu Island who hon
estly make their living, but solely and
exclusively against the flpanlsh govern
ment. He says that the Cubans, 'whatever
tiiclr color, class or condition, have no ill
vvlllforthehonestandlndustriousSiKiniards.
Mr. Plerra feels confident lhattspaiu will
not be able to subdue-tho rebels, ror these
will fight to tho btttcr end, well knowing
that the triumph of Spain will mean for the
Cubans political, economic and social anni
hilation. SPAXI.YItDS ARCSUHPHLSED.

Paralysis Seizes the Old Warrior

HIS RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL
At Oi-.cTlmeLuKt Night It Was Fpiircd.
He 'Would Dlo Immediately Ills
Wireline! Children Summoned to the
Slct Chamber Attacked Without'
Wurnlutr.
Gen. William Mahone, of Petersburg, Va
was stricken with paralysis at Cbamber
lin's early yesterday morning, and lay
at the point of death under the care of two
physicians all day. At midnight be had
been resting easy for several hours and
there was some hope of bis recovery. Mrs.
Mahone and other members of the family
were telegraphed as soon as his condition
was known to be critical, and arrived at
11 p. m.
Gen. Mahone has large property Inter
ests both In this city and in Virginia, and
since his term in the United States Senate
expired has spent much time here, living
usually at Chamberllu's. About July 1
be lelt Washington and was gone all sum
mer. He returned here September 17, and
has been looking alter business Interests
here ever since.
OiiSuuday night he was noticed by tcv eral
friends and acquaintances to be feeling
unusually well.
IN HEALTH AND SPIRIT.
He chatted during the evening with
Major Armes.and talked over. In p:casant
mood, the Major's arrest on Friday night.
At a late hour he retired.
His failure to appe-ar at breakfast yes
terday murnlcg attracted no attention,
as he frequently did not come from his room
lefore noon. A little before 10 a. m.
bis sou. Butler, went to tits room, but
got no response to his questions.
Thlnkiug his father was asleep, or did
not want to talk, he went away. Soon
afterwards ex-Coi'gressman Edmund Wad
dell, ot Richmond, called to see him.
He found Gen. Mahone unable to speak
and almost unconscious. A consultation
with Manager Long resulted in ttieir senul-
lug ror urs. l'hillp s. wales and K. w.
Baker.
About the same time Mr. Butler Mahone
returned. As soon as the doctors came a
careful examination wafe made, and they
proiiouni-ed his aliment to do paralysis.
Ills right arm was apparently, lifeless,
aud his tongue and the muscles ot his
face were paralyzed. Later his right leg
became benumbed.
Dr. Wales said at 0 o'clock that Gen.
Mahone had lieen vomiting nnd there evi
dences of effusion from the bursting of a
small blood vessel in the head.
EXPECTED THE WORST.
His condition was critical and death
before morning would not bo a surprise.
Just after Mrs. Mahouc's arrival at mid
night, however. Gen. Waddel said his old
friendand comraile had been restingquictly
forseveral hours wi th noalaniiingsymptoms
and they wereniorohopeful. Thcplijsinatis
were still at his side doing everything
medlcalsklllcould sucgt stand would remain
till morning.
Mrs. Mahouo and thetwosons. Ilutlcrand
