Chicago, Aug. S.-Represeutatives Of
the southern lines met in Chicago to-day
for the purpose of deciding Oh rates for
the Atlanta exposition. Although wes-
tern and eastern lines had been asked to
join in the deliberations Of the meeting,

self from the meeting. as it is one of the
most powerful factors in the making Of
southern rates G.. z. Atmore, general
passenger agent was in the city, but did
not appear at the meeting.
Chairman Tucker OF the Chicago and
Ohio river railroad presided.
Three propositions for rates were sub
mitted 10 the meeting and 1t was decided
to recommend to the various traffic asso-
Citations that these three be adopted, which
does not mean, however, that they win be
by any means. On the other hand, it is
thought considerable opposition to them
will develop in certain quarters. These
are the propositions already adopted by
the lines in the territory south of the
Ohio river. The first is to make a rate of
one fare plus 10 per cent. for the round
be about $3.50 from Chicago to Atlanta.
The second proposition is 70 per cent Of
the double one-way local, good until Jan.
g, which will be the last day of the expo
sition. The third Is a rate of l cent mile,
tickets TO be sold only every ten days and
to be good for ten days only.
The meeting called for the purpose of
considering the question Of home Seekers

and southern rate situation adjourned to-
day until Wednesday without adopting
any restrictive conditions. Several plans
We're discussed, but none met with
enough endorsement to be put to a vote.
The one most favorably considered was a
proposition 10 sell one way tickets 10
home seekers at the full one way rate,
and give him a receipt which, in case he
wished to return, would entitle him 70 a
return ticket at a merely nominal price,

the tickets out of the hands of scalpers,
and to do this is the whole object Of the
meeting.

Spartanburg. s. c.. Aug 8-The latest
discovered evidence shows that the kill

white man of the county. was one Of the
coldest-blooded and premeditated muir

evidence to show that Mrs. Carson admit
ted Green, her paramour, into the house
after her husband had gone TO sleep that
Green knocked Carson in the head with
a hammer, and Mrs. Carson held her hus-
bands head while Green slashed his
throat.
There is also evidence that Green and
Mrs Carson had attempted to give Carson
strychnine in milk twice, and that they
had plotted to cut his throat about three
weeks ago, but that Mrs. Carson tainted
when the time came to do the deed.
Green is said to have run an Illicit stlll,

HOT SPRINGS IMPROVEMENTS.
Maj. COuper Has Returned From His
Inspection Trip.

Maj. William P. Couper, chief Of the mis-

ment who was sent to the Hot Springs If
Arkansas a month ago by Secretary Smith
to make an inspection ard report on the
cor dition of the public improvements there,
re turned to Washington this morning. Maj.
Ccuper has practically prepared his report,
and 1t is In every way commendatory of
the administration of Superintendent Lit
tie, at whose request the inspection was
made. Four years ago Congress appro-
priated $4,000 to improve and beautify
the government reservations at the Hot
Springs, and the work was undertaken un-
der the charge of Capt. Stevens of the
army, who, on his recent promotion, was
assigned to charge of the Yellowstone
National Park, leaving the work at Hot
Springs under headway, and to be finished
after tte superintendence of Mr.. Little
Thus far about $4,000 has been expended,
chiefly in making carriage drives and high
way grades on Hot Springs mountain. The
$4,000 remaining will undoubtedly be in
creased about $4,000 from the sale of lots
next spring. This money will also be ex-
pended in continuing the improvements

tends to make the Hot Springs one of the
finest health and pleasure resorts in the

BIDS FOR BATTLE SHIPS.
The Navy Department Examining the
Different Plans Submitted With Them

The work of passing upon the various
plans for battle ships submitted to the Navy
Department in answer to the advertisement
for proposals is now engaging the entire
attention of the naval bureau chiefs. and
owing to the number and compleXity of the
plans the task is not light one. The chief
of ordnance, Captain Sampson. has been
added to the usual board, in view of the
importance of the armor question, raised
ty the proposition of the Cramps to supply
the ships fully equipped with armor, in
stead of following the usual practice of
having the government furnish the armor.
The plans in instances embody certain
novelties in naval construction that must
be passed upon with care. The Cramps
have one plan for d ship of about the size
of the Indiana, but without turrets. In
their place fore and aft are mounted twelve
inch guns on carriages that disappear in the
hull below the water line and under the
protective deck, after being discharged.
thus being completely shielded from re-
turn fire, and also adding to the stability
of the ship. Another plan also submitted by
the Cramps is for a battle ship of the same
size with four separate turrets, two for the
thirteen-inch guns and two for eight-inch
guns, the latter being placed above and
closely in the rear of the big turrets, thus
generally resembling the arrangement pro-
posed originally by the construction bureau.
The Union iron works carry the Navy
Departments plans to an extreme in one
point, where they contemplate tnree-stor-
led turret. Their original plan is generally
similar to the departments design except
in a slight detail relating to the placing o.
coal above the boiler, and the important de-
tail of supplying all of the entire steam by
the new tubulous boilers, as used on the
Monterey.

CONDEMNS FHE GOVERNMENTS ACTION
Other Business Transacted in the
Senate.
BILLS AND RES SOLUTION S

There was a very good attendance when
the Senate met at noon today. The first
bill introduced was one by Mr.. Mills CTeX.)
for the coinage Of the silver in the treas
ury.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Chandler (N.H.J
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 151a to l. the bill to become operative
when England, Germany and France pass
similar laws, was listened to with great
attention by the members of the Senate.
Petitions from Florida for the recognition
of Cuba and fl ON the legislature of Mon
tana against further issuance of bonds
were prese1 ted.
The Case of SanguflIy.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Call CF'la.)
was adopted calling upon the Secretary Of
Sts te to send to the Senate the correspond
ence relating to the case OF Gen. Sanguilly,
an American citizen sentenced to life i'm
rrisonment for alleged completely in the
Cuban revolution, and directing him to
procure copy of the record in the case, if
i. Is not on file at the department.
Mr.. Gallinger (N.H) introduced a resolu-
ton declS ring it to he the sense of the Sem
ate that it was unwiSe and ineXpedient to
retire the greenbackS.
Mr.. Mitchell (Ore) introduced a resolu-
ton, which was agreed to, calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury to inform the
Senate why the construction of the public
building at Portland. Ore, for which an
appropriation was made by the last Con-
gress, wGS not proceeded with.
MIR. Call on Cuba.
At the conclusion of the preliminary rou-
tine business Mr.. Call Fla.) called up his
resolution of Tuesday and addressed the
Senate.
The resolution provided for the recogni-
ton Icy the United States of state of pub
lia war between Spain and the government
proclaimed and for some time maintained
by force of arms by the people of Cuba
declaring that the United States would
maintain condition of strict neutrality
between the contending powers, and ac
cord to each the rights of belligerents in
the ports of the United States. The resoiu-
ton further declares that the United States
protests and demonstrates against the bar
barous manner in which the war in Cuba
has been conducted, and authorizes the
President to take such steps as may he
necessary to secure an observance of the
laws of war as recognized by all civilized
ma tions.
Mr.. Call drew a graphic picture of the
ruin, miSgovernment and barbarous cruelty
and their long struggle for freedom. He
described the former revolutions, and de-
clared that the progress against tyranny
made by the native Cubans, who maintain
ed. as we had maintained in 17T6, that
just government must derive its au-
tbority from the cor sent of the governed,
entitled them to recognition as belligerentS
and the neutrality of other nations.
What He Considered an Outrage.
He COILS sidered it an outrage that the
United States should not hold out an en-
couraging hand to those who were strug-
Cling fer independence. But instead Of
speeding the Cubans on their course, he in
