concerning the military organization of
that country. but there were not wanting
those who construed the order as practi-
cally a measure of censure.
1t may have been the spreading of this
sentiment among the people that caused
the ovations which the general received
on his arrival at Marseilles and Paris re-
Gently. or it may have been that the
party of revenge" was simply seeking a
new center around which to rally. Ger
tain it is that the League of Patriots,
who are the organized Representatives of
that party, had prominent part in the
management of the ovations, going so
far as to placard the walls of Marseilles
with circular offering General Dodds
the succession to Boulanger, which con-
cluded with these words, General, do
your duty, and if parliamentarians re
sist thrust them out at the door"
General Dodds is a tall, handsome
man and looks like the soldier he has
proved himself to be. He is a mulatto,
English, French and African blood
mingling in his makeup. His GRANDPA
Their married the daughter of a French
man and an African woman, and his ia
ther married a native of Senegal, who
came of Norman family. The general
was born in st. Louis, Senegambia, in
1912 and was educated at the French
military school of St. Cyr, where he
graduated in 1864 with the rank of sec
ond lieutenant of naval infantry. He
was promoted to first heutenancy in
1867 and to a captaincy in 1862 At Sc
dan in 1870 he was taken prisoner. but
escaped and rejoined the army. He
fought through the Franco-German war,
the conflict with the commune and the
campaign in Tonquin, coming out of all
of them unscathed.
He has been in the service in Africa
since 1871, except during the Tonquin
campaign, and was made major there
in 1879, lieutenant colonel in 1888 and
a colonel in 1887. He was commandant
at st. Louis in 1890 when Colonel Terri
lon conducted his campaign against
King Behanzin and was male COM
mander in chief of the expedition in 1892,
on the successful conclusion of which he
was promoted to be general and made
an officer in the Legion of Honor.

The United States was some time ago
shown to be at the head of armor plate
manufacturing nations. The tests Of the
Brown segmental wire wound cannon at
Birdsboro, Pa. go to show that we can
also make the strongest guns of any ma
ton. Three shots fired from it in the pres

it withstood a pressure of over 10000
pounds. The gun consists of a core
formed of segments of steel 10 feet long,
wound about with 81 miles of wire.

The meetings are to be held in the
large government drill hall and on the
Champ de Mars adjoining, where large
tent will be erected, in which services
similar to and simultaneous with those
in the hall will be conducted. The drill
hall will seat 5000 people, and the tent is
to accommodate 5000 more. The regu-
lar sessions will begin Thursday morn
ing, July 9. at 10 o'clock, though on the

rough time of it in Turkey, where he
undertook to foster the work of the so
ciety, and he will probably have some
thing to say to the convention about his
experiences. The government got after
him and did everything possible to him
der his work, confscating his books and

have been broken up. and if the Chris

Turkey it will be despite tho efforts Of
the authorities.
President Clark and Secretary Baer
will make their annual reports on Thurs
day night, alternating between the drill
nall and the tent so that the audiences
in both places may have the benefit of
hearing them. There will be no regular
session on either Friday or Saturday aft

connection with the work will be held in
some of the churches. On Friday even

Difference Of religion is at the bottom
of the bitterness against home rule in
Ulster. 1t is hard for an American to
understand that in the north of Ireland
Protestants and Catholics still regard
each other with so much dislike and sus-
picion that stranger might fancy the
"siege of Derry" was not yet ended and
that King James followers were still
fighting. In America the two creeds
live peaceably side by side, and with the
exception of an occasional outbreak, or
break" of somebody's tongue or pen, one
may conclude that differences of opinion
in theology have been sunk in the one
absorbing aim of getting on in this world.
In north Ireland, however, there are not
so great possibilities in the way of ac-
cumulating wealth in this world; conse-
quently the doughty Ulstermen turn
their attention more to the next. There
is no doubt many of them really believe
that if the home rule measure were
passed they would no longer be safe in
the enjoyment of their religion. 1t is no
credit either to Balfour, the Conservative
leader. that he has done all in his power
to arouse the flames of religious dissen-
sion.

COMING INTO THE CITY.
TIE P. G. AND P. GRADED UP TO
TIE CORPORATE LIMITS.

The Grading for the Junction With the
South Bound in Progress-Two Hun
dred and Fifty Hands at Work
Within Ten Miles of Gavannsh-The
Steel for the Road Arriving-Erouble
in Getting Rights of Way.
The Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
road is now being graded within just one
mile of the Central railroad depot and work
is going on right up to the corporate limits.
The work is progressing rapidly all along
the line, and near the city gradings are
being made for the junction which is to fur
nish connection with the South Bound. This
junction is located on the Muller place just
outside the corporate limits, and grading
has already commenced on the
line which is to run from there through the
Falligant place into the city. The right of
way through the Falhgant place runs
parallel with Feeley avenue, and at Still
we'll avenue the proposed route is curve
near that road turning in the direction OF
the Central railroad wharves.
Mr.. r. C. Strother, superintendent of
construction, said yesterday that the work
is progressing rapidly, and especially so near
Savannah, where most OF the
right of way has been obtained.
Within ten miles of the city
there are over $50 hands at work on the
grading besides three dredges and about
twenty-five teams. This force is working
as rapidly as possible. and the grading
within fifteen or twenty miles Of Savannah
up to the corporate limits is expected to be
completed within thirty days.
Mr.. Strother says that three cargoes of
steel rails arrived at Brunswick a day or
two ago, and lot was received at Harris
Road, he thinks, at the same time.
Fifty miles of the road, he says will
be ready for rails by April l,
and the work of laying them will begin in
few days. This work will be done from
Harris Road toward Brunswick and from
Brunswick toward Savannah From Harris
Road north twenty miles of grading is
ready for rails, and the foundation for the
bridge over st. Mary's river is ready for
placing the bridge IN position as soon as it
is received from the foundry. This side of
the st. Mary's considerable of the grading
is ready for rails, but it is unconnected as
yet.
Some trouble has been met in obtaining
the right of way at various points, as well
as in securing the forces of hands required
to complete the work on contract time but
these difficulties have almost all been dis
posed Of now and the work is progressing
without any delay. To all appearances the
road is coming right into the CITY, though
as yet no location has been marked out as a
terminus

COMING IN RAPIDLY.

Deposits OF Central Securities Run
Way Up in the Millions.
Yesterday was busy day with Vice
President Crane at the Southern Bank, and
the securities poured in sometimes faster
than he could issue receipts for them.
The amount deposited was not 30 large in
the aggregate as has been received on some
days during this week and last, but q large
number of people came in with one or two
shares Of certain kinds Of STOCK, and often
OF 500 or 5000 in debentures, and receipt
had to be issued for each deposit, which
made the work require good deal of time
and attention.
While the individual amounts deposited
were small, the aggregate ran way up
beyond the 100000 mark, and the result
was very good days work. The deposits
continue to come IL at this rate every day,
and from all that can be learned, to-day and
tomorrow, which is the last day for depos-
iting Central securities according to the
regulations of the reorganization commit
tee, will cap the climax, aud the deposits
for the two days are expected to run some
where near the 81, 900, 900 mark.
Southwestern stock and debentures
formed the bulk of the deposits yesterday,
aud both OF these classes of securities CON
tinue to come In very freely. Augusta and
Savannah stock was also conspicuous among
Cn9 deposits yesterday.
Holders of large blocks Of Southwestern
and Augusta and Savannah are in some

NO AUTHORITY IN THE CASE.
The Centrars Petition to the COUNTY
Commissioners Dismissed.

@+40 OoACEHA FoIlClOn TO Un9 county
Commissioners Dismissed.
The county commissioners decided yester-
day afternoon that they had no authority
either to authorize or prevent the Suburban
and West End railway from crossing at
grade the right of way OF the Central rail-
road.
The protest Of Receiver Conner in behalf
OF the Central stating that the Suburban
and West End was attempting to cross
the tracks Of the Central on
the Augusta road without the consent of
the commissioners, that it would be injuri-
GUS TO the property of the Central as well
as dangerous to travel, and that there was
a more convenient and less expensive way
for them to cross by going under, was read,
ana 10 was decided that in giving the Sub
urban and West End the right to use the
Augusta road they had given them, as far
as was IN their power. the right to cross the
Central right Of way.
1t was decided, therefore, to notify the
plaintiff that the commissioners had no au-
thority to prohibit the crossing of one rail-
road by another at grades or otherwise,
which is right granted by a state law,
The petition was refused for want of juris-
dlction on the part of the commissioners,
and the parties were RENTED to their regu.
lar rights under their charters
The former order by the commissioners,
giving 6ne ROAD the right 60 use the Augusta
road. was construed by the commissioners
to mean from the Louisville road to the
present terminus of the railway on the Au-
gusta road, or about 900 feet along that
road.
Maj. Blandfords weekly report stated
that he had inspected the entire Vernon
shell road, having completed the work yes
terday, pointing out what must be done In
the way of drainage. The officials of the
she'll road assured him that sufficient force
OF hands would be employed at once and
that the work would begin to-day. His in
structions will be followed out, and the road
will be in good sanitary condition within a
shorb time.
Engineer Blandford's report also states
that much progress had been made on the
Dundee and Casey canals, and that the
bridges in the county were in bad condition
generally and in need of repairs. On his
/ suggestion the committee on drainage was
empowered to purchase battery for the
purpose or disoharging dynamite cart
ridges.
