A letter from the Iowa association stated that that association had changed Its meet ing and would meet In Denver and that It would send u delegation 200 strong In uniform end with it brass band. The Texas Travelers' Protective associa tion has written that It will bo fully repre sented nnd that u special train of Pullman pleepcrs would leave Dallas for the national convention , convoying the Texas delegation. It is estimated that fully 2,000 traveling salcs- impn , members of the association In this coun try will bo hero and every detail will betaken care of to make them nil feel that they were never treated as royally at any of the na tional conventions. The Denver & KIo Grande , with their usual jibor.illty , have come to the front with an un- cqnnlcd proposition , and when the time ar rives that royal good friend of the traveling men will bo given full benellt of the courtesy Bhown to the Colorado division Travelers Protective association In making eminently { Satisfactory rates.

CIIOWNEU ( JUKKNYKTKU DEATH. The Story of Inez do Castro , AVIfo of a King of Portugal. . There is no more remarkable page in all history , says the St. Louis Republic , than the one which tells of the crowning of Inez do Castro's Hcshloss skull as queen of Portugal. She had been mar ried clandestinely to young Don Pedro , aud was murdered three yqars later by assassins instigated by her father-in- law * When tlio young don heard of her death ho was beside himself with grief and rage. Two of the assassins fell into his hands and suffered terrible torture ; which only ended by their hearts being torn out while they were yet alive. When Pedro came to the throne a few years later ho had the bones of Inez taken from the grave , placed upon a magnificent throne , robed in royal pur ple , and actually crowned queen of Portu gal. The court was summoned and com pelled to do her homage , just as if she were a real living queen. Ono ile.-mless hand hold the scepter and the other the orb of royalty. On the second night of this wiord ceremony the tloshlcss queen was borne before a grand funeral cor tege extending several miles , each per son holding a torch. Lying in her rich robes , her crown upon her grinning scull , in a chariot dmwn by twenty coal black mules , Queen Inez , the only queen who never know her royal station , was driven to the royal abbey of Alcobaca , where tlio bones were interred with as much pomp as though she had died but yesterday. Tlio monument erected to the queen , who was never a queen dur ing life , is still to be scon in the abbey , btandlng near the one erected to hoi- loyal husband , "Pedro the Just.

POLIIIGS IS LObLMi lAbU , How the Great Southern Problem is Rapidly Solving Itself , CAPITAL IS FAST POURING IN. Aliituilnnt IlcflotirccA Which Are Being llapldly Developed The 1'ast For gotten and Faces Turned Toward the Future. May 8. [ Special to TUB BRC. ] Georgia secured an Invasion from the Washington newspaper correspondents lost week and scored n good point In both busi ness nnd politics. Heretofore "Dixie" has been classed In political annals with Missis sippi , South Carolina and two or three shot gun states managed byvbrigadicr3 bent on ante-bellum plunder ; but it will now bo known the country over that Georgia has been done an injustice. Georgia la . as rapidly developing from the caterpillar Into the butterfly as It Is possible and promises to become , within the next de cade , ono of the foremost manufacturing states In the union. She has as rich mineral nnd co.U lands , forests and phosphate- beds as there are hi the world , and work In these yield as handsome profit and pleasure ns any business in the universe. .Capital is Hooding Into the state from the north , Europe and elsewhere and n * sure as business will solve nil other i > crploxltics politics Is being cast nsldo for something better. Thcro is no bet ter illustration than can bo found at Augusta , whither the correspondents went last week , that commercial interests overwhelm polities and solve race and other problems. A people busy making money and happiness ; a people devoted to the upbuilding of a country for the future , and not living in the prejudice of the past or the passion of the present , do two things , bring about two conditions , no matter what the sentiment may bo at the time ; they make tariff protectionists nnd level all social barriers. At Augusta the conditions a dccado back nnd at present were nnd nro almost * Identical to those at Kichinond , Vn. Ten years ago the people at Kichinond lived In the past ; they were free traders. Now they live In the future and the present , and n protective tariff forms an Issue which rises almost to and which will go ubovo party lines. Factories have taken the place of militia grounds , and com mercial clubs occunv the attention of those who spent their midnight hours in politic-ill caucus but a short time ago. Instead of dis cussing how to carry an election at Augusta now the business men nro together , without respect to polities , and conjure plans for securing capital with which to develop the city. Politics is losing caste. Professional politicians are not business men. No clearer idea of how well the sword can jo turned into a pruning knife can bo found than In Augusta. It will bo remembered that quite all of the powder for the Confederacy , vas manufactured in that city during nt cast three years of the war. A largo factory was built nt ona side of the city and an im- nenso chimney erected to carry the smoke , icat and sparks far ubovo the powder maga zines. Alter the war a short time the citizens got together and prepared a tablet which was : > laccd upon this landmark of the "recent dis turbance. " The ground around the powder factory was for years held In sacred seclusion. But finally the public spirit of the citiyens began to operate. It was concluded that n great manu facturing center could bo established , and tor the purpose of attracting capital the city built the most convenient nnd nearly incx- ' liaustiblo hydraulja mill-nice to bo fo'uud in the country. It taps the Savannah river a navigable stream several miles from the : ity , and affords the finest power for an un limited number of manufactories at a nominal price Soon a great cotton factory , with Hundreds of thousands of spindles , was buill up against the power factory arch , and now the ground which but a short time ago marked the manufacture of munitions for re bellion and strife , is occupied by one of the [ jreatcst Industries of the south. The estab lishment of these immense cotton cloth fac tories brought others , till for almost n inilo ilong the hydraulic the scene reminds one of the busiest point on Fall river. These cotton factories are In handsome four-story brick buildings , nnd the operatives have beautiful brick rcstdences , the whole being a scene of thrift and contentment , fraught with stabil ity and happiness. It Is true that in the streets of Augusta there are monuments to confederate lieroes , but these were erected at a period whcntho memories of the war were fresh in the minds of the people and tender thoughts coursed the minds of all the south , and when tears with flowers wei-o being strewn upon the giaves of the dead braves in the north. Thcro is no nourish of ante-bellum sentiment , no reference to "bofoh th' wah. " The people live in the fu ture , not the past. While there I met Col onel Howell , ono of the editors of the Atlanta Constitution. Ho had Just returned from Charleston , S. C. . and ho said this of that , indent , city which ilrcd the first shot at Sumtor : "Tho trouble with Charleston Is , and I told them there , the people nro living too much In the past. Wo must forget the post und turn our faces nnd minds to the future. " The race problem In Augusta nnd as that Is a representative Georgia city it is an Index of the state Is solving Itbolf. The negro Is treated kindly , nnd as a consequence ho votes with his employer very frequently when ho votes nt all. An Influential citizen gave mo the kernel to the race nut when ho said this , which I had duplicated by many other citi zens : "It Isn't necessary to count out or bulldoze negroes at the elections. Hight hero wo be lieve that by treating the colored men kindly they will cither stay away from the polls , because - cause they do not want to vote against us , or they will vote tlio way their bosses want them to vote. It is not the negro but the tarilT question that is dividing the predom inant party. Our principal newspapers and loading business men uro for u protective tad IT. The McKinley bill pleases n great many of the people hero. Wo know that to prosper wo must have factories , and these will not como hero unless there is n protec tive tariff. You strike n man's business in terests and party lines and prejudices disap pear. " Undoubtedly Augusta wllh her wood , min eral , agricultural and other resources will go up from n city of 50,000 people now to a place of 100,000 in less than H-n years. Tlio real estate excitement has not yet struck the city yet. although a number of capitalists nro Just iirrivlng for that purpose. The city Is beau tifully located , with the Savannah river , navIgable - Igable Uown to Savannah on the coast , run ning through the corporate limits. The coun try is undulating to a handsome degree , there being rising hills In every direction. These inake the most charming suburban places. There nro hundreds of the prettiest old man sions , with their broad oaks and elms dotting capacious grounds , The streets nro very broad , some being over u hundred feet in width , while down their center run a double row of grand eld broad-stretching elms , forming the most delightful parking. At this tlmo of year these grail avenues or streets are a perfect bower of shade. Just now a syndicate from Kansas City , headed by Major Ii. B. Dyer , who will bo remembered ns the llrst mayor of Guthrle , Oklahoma , Is putting In n perfect system of cloctrlu mil- ways. This with the horse lines will honey comb the city and environs , nnd will develop the magnificent suburban places which are to bo hild out. Suuh hospitality can bo found nowhere else than In Gerglu. when fifty newspaper cor respondents ncared Augusta they wuro met by a reception commltteo and informed that the city was their own ; that they could take anything they saw , and If what they wanted was not In sight It was only necessary to call for It. Wo expected to see an old fashioned city , with slow people and nothing now. We found an old-now city a place old in forma tion but now In Industry and crowded with the cleverest and most enterprising people on the face of the earth the cream city of the state. The city for two days was given up to the entertainment of its guests. I was sur prised to learn that strangers entering the city for location and business nro never asked their politics , and that no reference Is madoto pedigree. Good brooding and honesty uro curried in the eye and countenance , aud us soon as it is HCCU that the stranger Is worthy ho Is received with open arms. Augusta Is fast becoming u winter resort. Last fall the hotel Bon-Air was opened to the public and was tilled ( n a twinkling , It Is u beautiful hostelry , situated a few miles from the city on what nnorMiPrncr would term n "mountain , " and overlobking the prettiest city In the south. Thwaccno from the hotel Is as entrancing oscaubo fouiidnboutParlsor In the Alps of Switzerland. The air Is bracing nnd so pure nnd rarfiU'd that consumptives find immediate relief nnd carlv euro. The winters nro jhort nnduulld. Thcro is fishing In the adjacent rivers and gunulng galore lir the forests. The south possesses three distinctive classes of foscinntiuaj-women. They nro located In Kentucky , Georgia and Virginia. Handsome , cultured ; naturally refined nnd delicate- complexionthfty nro winsome be yond comparison , The Augusta ladles are as gallant as their bravo.men. Their homes are open to the stranger , their hospitality Is com mon. Truly Augusta is sqttlng an example for nil southern cities. Sh&only asks Inspection. SllO has J1O nrelUdlCOS. nntllltirr to onnnll mill everybody Is welcome. She has her fnco and her heart turned to the future. The war has loft neither scar nor Ill-will. The federal Is ns good with them as the confederate , no bet ter , no worse. Honest whlto men all stand upon the same platform. The negro Is not nnd never will bo recognized their social equal. But they regard the negro as n human being with n soul , an Instinct , a human sen- slbillty , nnd they treat him ns such ; but they conscientiously bellovo that ho was desig nated by tlio creator to occupy the position society has given him nnd no ono disputes their position. Umioubtedly ono of the best plans for solv ing the race problem ns well ns the nolltical Issues Is that which Augusta lias adopted business. Money-making and enterprising people , people happy and looking Into the future , have neither tlmo nor Inclination to wrangle over politics or color. In the busy bustle of development for the city cvervthing Is leveled , and the longer this course Is fol lowed the loss will bo known of contention aud the less will anyone care. Piiintv S. HnATn.

Stanley can bo severe , though In his whole career ho has only executed four of his own followers , all in this last ex pedition. Early in the expedition two Znnztbarls were tried and convicted of selling rifles and ammunition to the slave-dealing enemy , Tills , In such an expedition , where everything depends on llio superiority of its arms , Is a capital olToiibo of thp very gravest nature and tlio men wcro condemned to death , siiy.s the Now York Morning Journal. Tlio sequel is told as follows in Mr. Stanley's own words : Early ono morning one of tlio two was brought on to the parade ; all the men stood round in a crowd. I asked him if ho had anything to say ; ho was mute ; I looked at the crowd ; they were mute , too. too.Ono Ono word from the man himself or from any of the onloo'kei-.s , one appeal for mercy that would have enabled mete to address the crowd , ' and I would have btvved that man's life. It was the elTect I wanted , not his life ! Not a word was saifl. I gave the sig nal and ho swung coiain ; populo. Still I watched the crowd. There was no sign / only dull insensibility. I luy awake thinking all night ; the other man was to bo hauiged at 8. At dawn I bent for tho'chief sheikh of the Zan/.ibaris. Ho came. I said : "What is this thing you have done to mo ? You promised mo helpand you do nothing. IJo you want mo to kill these men ? i I don't do it willingly ! An swer ! " The sheikh replied that ho would ho glad if my excellency could see the way to snare tlio remaining man. Then I told him to get the other shaikhs , to soy nothing to the people , but when J gave the signal let them ask his life , but ask it really as if they meant it. At 8 o'clock the poor wretch had the rope round his neck. I asked if ho had anything to say. Silence. I raised my hand to give the bign ; the sheikhs rushed forward , knelt at my foot , and implored mercy. Immediately every man joined in , too. I said : "Good ; for your sakes I give his life. " Then there was u bhout and they all ' rushed forward ; they fell at my 'feet , they screamed blessings , they swore they would follow mo to the world's end. Stanley avoids nobody , seeks nobody , sees everybody who cares to call , ans wers with precision inoit questions and declines answering others.

Some Curious llovolntlons Mailo In llnron Hniiflsninmi'fl Memoir * , Baron Ilnussnmnn's "Recollections , " which have just como out , do not answer to the curiosity with which they were awaited , says the London Truth. If a sprightly old lady had had to do with his memoirs , extending from 1812 to the present time , she would have mndo thorn charming ns , say , the ruins of ah old castle bright with creeping verdure ami wild flowers. lie is provoklngly reticent in dealing with the Em peror Napoleon III.'a marriage. Ho could have said a great deal , ns ho know Mmo. Montljo when she was pass- illDT fOUr Or llVO months nt Ttnnlnnttv. after she had loft tlio hotel at Bayonne , where she lodged for so long iv timo. The baron , however , furnishes some spicy pages , which are grateful as an oasis in the desert. Ho shows in n rather pleasant chapter 'that George Sands' complaints in "Mn , Vie" about her mother-in-law were all unfounded , nnd that George's husband was no baron at all. What a good thing it is for Mau rice Sands' family that lie died before the truth came out , for ho felt rather ashamed of his mother's dcmocratio sympathies , and wanted to drop her name and parade the title wiitcn ho fancied himself heir to. Tlio poor mother-in-law was kind to weakness , nnd made great sacrifices to George and her spouse , who had no sort of right to claim any thing of hor. The old lady's fortune was in her own right , and George's husband was the son of ono of those Gascony shopcrdosscs who walls about on stilts at the heads of flocks in the snake-infested Landcs. She was an imprudent creature , without a ray of character. Baron Dudovant , the poor "mother-in-law's' ' husband , was a colonel In Napoleon's army , and rather ecletic in his loves. Ills reputation as a Don Juan put it into the heads of all kinds of shopcrdcsses to use ills hall porch as the creche of a foundling hospital. They know that the good-natured baroness would never suiter any innocent left there to stay long enough exposed for the wolves , which were numerous as the snakes , to eat it , She always did some thing maternal for the deserted little .ones. When the ono destined to bo George Sands' husband was picked up and brought to her she took u fancy to him and had him reared by the garden er's wife. Ho often ran into the great house. On the death of the baron tlie baroness saw a great deal of the boy , for she was lonesome. Ho was worthy of having Zola for his portraver , and in grossnuss was as bad as any lioofod and horned satyr. Tlio old lady 'thought this a certain proof that ho had a right to the style and title of her defunct husband. The more la bete humaino showed itself s-elf in him , tlio more , to the despair of her own relatives , , she thought it her duty to treat him as an adopted son. She was enchanted on learning that this mauvnis sujet had proposed for Aurora Dupin , the heiress to a property of about n thousand acres and a chateau , which .sho inherited from her grnndinothortho daughter of Marshal Saxe. Tlie dear old ladv bottled all her property on the sup posititious Dudovant , and be and his bride came on a visit to her. The latter had no objection to her aristocratic ways and prejudices until a ser vant told her that she was not the baroness. the diuightcr-iti-law of but of "the hag she ( George ) had seen herding turkeys. This threw the bride into a state of black gloom , made her take ill all the kind actions of the dowager , who she fancied had entered into n con spiracy to humble and pull her down , and leave her house in high dudgeon. I can understand her keeping silence in "Ma Vie" about the servant's revelation. Perhaps she thought it well that Mau rice should be able in good faith to claim to bo a baron. Or it may bo that she overlooked , when she was being wooed , the brutal ways of M" . Dudovant , because she thought it would bo iiigo to set up in life as a baroness. Administrator's Sale.
