oue and a half million freight cars iu
the United States, most of which have
eight wheels each, weighing on tho
average COO pounds apiece, and calcu

the total number of these wheels rep

A common-se-jso scheme for re

This is to close permanently the

upon agreement with the land owners.
Trout in these brooks do not attaiu
much size, but the largo trout run in
to them to spawn. Protecting the
young fish ia these brooks, so far as
tried, has resulted in restocking the
livers to which th,e brooks are tribu
tary with f.sh of a size for tho table.
Some brocks flowing into Whito river
have been closed, and in the ad.'Kcent
parts of the river very good tiout

closed, so that the attraction for sum

B ieing things while on a visit to this

your great shipyards, I can say that
the new ships now building for the
navy are among tho finest in the
world, if they are not suparior to all
others, as I am sometime inclined to
think. ' The reason for the excellence
of these ships, and others that are
ready, I seek iu th) intelligence of
your workmen, and iu tho mechanical
geuius of the whole nation Work is
expensive here, but the result is better
work, and a greater feeling of re
sponsibility on the part of tho work
men, who draw high wages. A
secondary result of these conditions
is that tho workman has both inceutive
and opportunity to obtain a better
education." Testimony of this wort,

WILL
Accepts Invitation to Visit Atlanta With Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
HERO HONORS THE GEORGIAN
Presentation of Brumby Sword
Will IJc Hade Iiy the
Admiral.
A Washington special snys: Admi
ral Dowey has accepted tho invitation
of the citizens of Atlanta, Oa., to par
ticipate in tho ceremonies attending
tho presentation of the sword to Flag
Lieutenant Brumby.
Tho invitation wai formally tender
ed to tho hero of Manila Saturday by
a delegation of prominent citizens,
and a prompt and gracious acceptance
was immediately announced.
Accompanied by representative Lou
Livingston, tho delegation called upon
Admiral Dewey, at the McLean resi
dence. The interview had been pre
viously arranged through Lieutenant
Brumby, Lence the Georgians received
an extremely oordial greeting from tho
admiral. The reception took place in
the parlor, which was beautifully doo
orated with flowers, potted plants and
the national colors.
Theso little formalities having been
completed, Mayor Woodward who was
ono of the committee, stepped to the
front and in the name of the citizens
of Atlanta, iudeod iu the name of all
the people iu the state of Georgia, iu
vited tho admiral to visit Atlanta and
witness the presentation of a sword to
Lieutenant Brumby. Mayor Wood
ward went on to say how proud the
people of Georgia are to claim Lieu
tenant Brnmby as their own, and he
informed the Admiral that a hand
some sword had been procured by
popular subscription to be presented
to Lieutenant Brumby.
The admiral at that point inter
rupted the mayor to say that he bad
seen it stated that the people of Geor
gia intended to give Lieutenat Brum
by a sword, and he desired to say that
gallant youDg officer was worthy of
any honor or distinction his friends or
his country might see fit to bestow
upon him.
This high testimonial to Lieutenant
Brumby was made with bo much sin
cerity that it deeply impressed the mem
bers of the delegation, and their ad
miration of the admiral was increased
accordingly. The admiral took occa
sion to say that he not only appreciated
the valuable services rendered by
Lieutenant Brumby, but he also ap
preciated the noble and patriotic part
played by the representatives of the
southern states, in the army and navy
during the war with Spain.
He said he knew how bravely the
southern men rushed to the support of
the nation's honor and Bhared the glo
ries of victory with thoir northern
i . a . .... !
ureuiren and ttius wiped out all traces
of sectionalism. The admiral's atten
tion was called to the fact that Geor
gia sent more men into the United
States service to battle against Spain
than any other state in the union.
The admiral replied that the infor
mation was intensely gratifying to him
and it made him all the more anxious
to visit Georgia and personally show
his appreciation of the valor and
patriotism of the southern people.
Turning to Lieutenant Brumby, the
admiral said: "Brumby, we have but
two engagements ahead one in Chi
cago and one in Philadelphia."
Brumby replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the admiral delighted his
visitors by saying:
"Well, gentlemen, you may count
on mo being present to see Brumby
get his sword."
He said he could not state definitely
when it would be convenient for him
to visit Atlauta, owing to an engage
ment he has with the president and
the members of the Philippine com
mission, soon after the president re
turns from his western tour.
His acceptance, with that qualifica
tion, was entirely satisfactory to tho
delegation, and the details of the visit
were further discussed.
The admiral evinced such a warm
personal regard for Lieutenant Brum
by throughout the interview that a
change was made in the original pro-
CAEUO OF MULES LOST.
Transport On the Way To Manila Encoun
ter Typhoon.
A cablegram from General Otis to
the war department brings word of
tho loss of several hundred horses and
mules on the transport Siam. The
mossage is as follows:
"Manila, October 6. Steamer Siam,
which left San Francisco August 19th
with forty-five horses and 330 mules,
encountered a typhoon on the 1st in
stant, Northern Luzon, in which all
but sixteen mules were killed by the
pitching of the vessel and a lack of air
from necessary closing of hatches. No
casualties among passengers.

gram, so as to place the admiral in the
picturo and give Lim a conspicnont
part to play in the ceremonies attend
ing the presentation of the sword.
On the stops of the capitol at Wash
ington, it was deemed a high honor
for Admiral Dewey to receive the na
tion's sword from the president of the
United States. At Atlanta it will be
an equal honor for Lieutenaut Brumby
to rocoive Georgia's sword from the
hands of the nation's hero, Admiral
Dewey. The suggestion was promptly
acted upon, aud the programme will
be arrangod on that basis.
Admiral Dewey stated that his de
sire to chow his personal appreciation
and friendship for Lieutenant Brumby
was a sufficient inducement to him to
visit Atlanta on the occasion of the
Bword presentation, but added to that,
his desire to recognize in his humble
way tho glorious part the men of tho
south have played ia the war with
Spain.
lie then referred with deep feeling
to the recent deaths of Naval Cadet
Wood of Georgia, and Lieutenant
Commander Fldridge, of Alabama.two
brilliant young officers of the navy,
who lost their lives at Manila.
DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF
Will Be Discontinued In Compli
ance With Orders Received
From Washington.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The
acting commander of the department
of the gulf, Colonel John Simpson,
received Saturday from Washington
tho official order of the war department
discontinuing the department of the
gulf and transferring the headquarters
to Governor'e Island.
From the nature of the order it ia
regarded as evident by the officers of
the department that the mind of the
president has been made up and that
the efforts of Atlanta business men
will bring no satisfactory result. The
order states that the change is made
by direction of tho president, and is
signed "by the secretary of war, the
commanding general and the adjutant
general of the army.
Colonel Simpson stated that he was
in no way acquainted with the purpose
of th e war department in discontinuing
tho department of the gulf, but sup
posed that Atlanta had been made the
headquarters on the outbreak of the
war on account of its central location
and its thorough connection with the
southern Beacoa9t towns. With the
war at an end there was nothing to
accomplish by the continuance of the
department.
JONES IS OPTIMISTIC.
Democratic Chairman Shjs Iti yn Will Be
Nominated and Klectod.
United States Senator James K.
Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and
wife, were passengers on the Cunard
line steamship Lucania that reached
New York Sunday. They-have been
traveling in England, Ireland, Soot
land, Switzerland and Wales for sev
eral months. Senator Jones said that
he had been much benefited by his
lengthy European travels, and felt
ready to go into the hard work neces
sary in getting ready for the presiden
tial campaign.
Senator Jones, when asked to give
his views on the political situation,
said that, owing to his long absence
abroad, he was not as fully informed
as to political conditions as he hoped
to be in a few weeks. When askod
his opinion as to the probability of the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency going to William J. Bryan, he
said :
"There is no doubt that Bryan will
receive the Democratic nomination for
president, "and added: "Has anybody
any doubt on that question? Bryan is
sure to win."
Reed In Washington.
Ex-Spoakcr Thomas B. Reed ar
rived in Washington Sunday. He
declined to discilss politics, saying he
was here to remove some of his private
belongings.
LOTH TO STRIKE FIRST.
Delay of Hostilities In Transvaal liodes
Much Good.
All the reliable intelligence from
South Africa reaching London Friday
points to a oontinuance of the existing
situation for some time, as both sides
are apparently diffident about com
mencing an attack, although from the
dispaches received it seems as if every
movement of a patrol and every cloud
of dust made by a herd of cattle were
turned into a general advance by both
armies.
The delay is all to the gojd, inas
much as it gives time for 'furthur negotiations.
NATAL NOT INVADED
Advanca of Boon Wai Not Mado
As Reported.
BRITISH BEINTOratNTS AERIVE
Massing of Krugrr's Tritons on tits liurilrr
Is No Longer 1 cared by Great
Itrltaln.
A Louden special of Thursday was
to the effect that nothing important
developed as to the Transvaal situation
during the day. The Daily Telegraph's
dirpatch announcing that the Boers had
invaded Natal and seized Laings Nek,
dow seems, to be without foundation.
The government has received noth
ing to justify the report, although
uch a move on the part of the Boors
would naturally cause little surprise.
The British position in Natal was
considerably strengthened by the ar
rival Thursday of Indian transports
with reinforcements of about 2,500
infantry, cavalry and artillery, all of
which will be promptly sent to the
front by train, and with their arrival
at Glencove and Ladysmith, the Brit
ish advanced camps and lines of com
munication will be practically safe
guarded against tho risk of a success
ful dash acrois tho frontier by the
Boers.
The militory authorities apparently
no longer fear the massing of the
Boers along the border, und In fact it
has been provided that the Boeiw shall
not make a sudden invasion into the
territory. Tho Natal authorities are
rather pleased with this, because they
argue the tension of waiting will tell
severely oa the Boers' discipline; and,
moreover, they will Boon exhaust the
little forage there is near the border
and be oompellod to fall back on their
base, because, in view of tho defective
commissariat, they are unwilling to
advance in Natal leaving behind them
a foragelees veldt.
Advices from Alder shot convey the
interesting information that General
Sir Redvers Buller, who is to assume
the chief command of the British
forces in South Africa, is opposed to
the presence of a large number of war
correspondents with his forces and
wants to limit the correspondents to
twelve representatives of the leading
British, Indian and colonial agencies
and newspapers, including in this
number the foreign correspondents.
A dispatch from Fertb, capital of
West Australia, announces that the
government of the colony has decided
to dispatch a West Australian contin
gent to the cape. General Sir Itedvers
Bnller arrived at Balmoral castle
Thursday night as the guest of Queen
Victoria, to bid her majesty farewell
on his departure.
GRIGGS OPINION
la the Celebrated Carter Case Made PublU
At Washington.
The opinion of Attorney Genera!
Griggs in the case of Captain Oberlin
M. Carter, of the army, upon which
the president approves the finding of
the courtmartial, was made public at
Washington Thursday.
After dismissing certain of the minor
charges as unproven, the attorney gen
eral took up the more serious questions
involved, first considering the objection
that the charges upon which Captain
Carter was found guilty were incon
gruous. Ho says that, unlike the or
dinary criminal procedure, the mili
tary usages and procedure permit of
an indefinite number of offenses in
one and the same proceeding.
"It is not necessary," he says, "to
discuss whether this practice is wise,
or whether it is prejudicial in the
rights of the accused. It appears to
be established by long continued prac
tice, and, so far a3 I am able ou in
vestigation to discover, without pre
vious challenge."
But even if this objection were well
founded, the attorney general says, he
does not think the accused should be
allowed to avail himself of tho objec
tion now, because he proceeded to
trial without objection to this alleged
misjoinder, and permitted the court to
enter on the investigation of all of the
different specifications, and himself
brought forward his defense as to
each of them. The objection should
have been promptly taken to be made
available.
DECLINED TO RECONSIDER.
South Carolina Board of Control Keeps
Douthit Out.
A Columbia, S. C, dispatch says:
Thursday morning the state board of
control upon assembling took up the
Douthit case, and voted down a reso
lution by Mr. Williams looking to a
further hearing for Mr. Douthit. The
division of the members was the same.
As soon as the official notice of
removal is served ou Mr. Douthit his
attorneys will serve a paper on the
board netting forth that Mr. Douthit
declines to vacate the office until
"legally removed."
This will doubtless cause the whole
matter to be aired ia the courts.
