sAvANNAH's NEW HOSPITAL.
Col. Lester working Hard TO Secure
an Appropriation.


Washington, FEB. 7.-Representatlve
Lester proposes to make a final effort -
morrow to get Speaker Crisp to recognize
him to move to take up the bill providing
for the establishment of a marine hospital
at Savannah.
Through the untiring efforts OF Mr. Les
ter, the committee on commerce made a
favorable report upon the bill and it is
now on the calendar. Day after day he
has applied to Speaker Crisp for recogni-
ton to call up that bill There appears
to be no material objection to it, except
that the committee on appropriations does
not care to have the expenditures at the
instance of the House increased to the
amount contained in that bill.
If the amount involved was millions, in
stead of thousands of dollars, it might
stand a better prospect Of success at this
time, as congress is inclined at this stage
to consider only such bills as are of ma
tional Importance.
Under the present conditions, Mr.. Lester
is not sanguine of success Tomorrow, but
he wants Speaker Crisp to give him an
opportunity to try the temper of the
House on the subject of the marine hos
pital bill.
Representative-elect Bartlett, who is to
succeed Representative Cabaniss in the
next congress, is here looking the field
over and familiarizing himself with his
coming duties. He was upon the floor
of the House to-day, and met many of his
future associates, and apparently made
a very favorable impression,
Senator-elect Bacon is still here, and he
is a daily visitor TO the Senate. lie has
selected a seat on the back row on the
democratic side of the chamber in line
with Senators Hill of New York and
Daniel of Virginia.

A Central News dispatch from Pekin

his fellow councillors remaining and
acquiescing in what the Prince said
Prince kunS remarked that the Japan
csc had sliced Korea and made the Korean
troubles a. preteXt for war The dis
putes, however. could easily have been
settled peaceably. He admitted that
China had her faults; that the war had
been managed uuwisely and that some OF
her officers We're unfit ana incompeteut
For these disadvantages CHINA must
suffer. He expressed himself as igno-
rant of what Japan wanted or why she
was fighting. Upon being told that Japan
probably wanted possession of the terri
tory she had conquered together with
40O, 100000 taels indemnity. Prince Kung
said he questioned very seriously whether
it would be possible for her TO make such
a claim, adding: China stands upop
prfuc.1la and JaDan uDt1 mower China
knows that she is weak from a military
point of view, and has therefore conclud-
cd that her only option is to sue for
peace She has sent ENJOYS for that
purpose TO consult with representatives

replying to the suggestion that China
must expect continued defeats Prince
Kung put these queries: "Can Japan
overrun all our provinces? VIII heaven
permit it? Will the other nations ac-
quiesce in it? If China is all wrong" he
concluded. "she is willing to suffer"
The foregoing Utterances of Prince
Kung undoubtedly express the general
sentiment Of the council. II was the
dowager empress and Prince Kung who
nominated ii Hung Chang as peace en-
voy, the other members of the council
agreeing to the appointment.

A NEW TURN IN THE DoYcoTT.
The seabOnrd Air Line Secures an
Injunction.

Injunction.
Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 2Z-Quite a sensa-
tional injunction was granted in Atlanta
tonight by Judge Lumpkin Of the super
ior court of Fulton county. which will
give striking color to the situation among
the southern lines of railway in the recent
boycott against the Seaboard Air line
The injunction is taken by King & Spald-
ing, special attorneys for the Seaboard
in this case, and the suit is against tbs
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail-
way. 1t is claimed in the bill that the
Nashville, Chattanooga ana St. Louis en-
tered into contract with the Seaboard
Air Line several years ago to allow IL all
the advantages of traffic arrangements
that it allowed every other road connect
ing with it, This agreement was made
when the Seaboard made a deal with the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis for
the use of its terminals in Atlanta, using
the tracks of the Western and Atlantic,
which is owned by the State of Georgia
and leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis.
The bill further recites that when ;he
Nashville, Chattanooga. and St. Louis de-
cided to abide by the ruling Of the South
ern Railway and steamship Association
and boycott the Seaboard Air Line, this
contract was violated. 1t is claimed that
the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
will have to stand to its contract with the
Seaboard above its agreement to abide by
the dictations Of an organization Of rail-
roads.
1t is further reclted that the lease of
the Western and Atlantic to the Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis stipu-
lates that the lessee shall never discrimi-
nate, under any circumstances, against
any railroad in favor of another, and it
is claimed that the governor Of Georgia.
if the boycott is pursued by the lessee,
can cause the latter to forfeit its lease at
any moment. This will give the boycott
against the SeabOard a new turn

A HAPLEss EMPRESS,
A Pathetic Scene in the Garden OF
the TuiIeries

From the Chicago Record,
A photograph is just now being shown
at Rome at an amateur exhibition which
is the work Of Count PrimoH. and which
represents q somewhat pathetic scene
in the gardens of the Tuileries. It shows
an old, white-haired and fnfirm looking
lady meekly receiving the angry repri-
mands of policeman. who, judging by
the picture, was assailing her with bitter
reproaches and threats.
A few weeks ago. when the Empress Eu-
genie was on her way from England to
the south Of France, where she is spend
ing the winter, she stopped for a few DAYS
in Paris, and while crossing through the
gardens of that Tui1eries where for eigh-
teen years she had reigned supreme as
its most brilliant ana lovely mistress.
she stopped down to pick one single flow
er, entirely without value, and growing
in that particular portion Of the park
where the prince imperial was wont to
use as his playground. A policeman, who
caught the empress in the act and who
was entirely unaware of her identity
Immediately took her to task and threat
ened to drag her off to the police sta
ton.
The scene struck Count Primou. who
was with his ilustrious aunt so char
acteristic and pathetic, that he took a
snap shot of the incident with the little
camera which he always carries in his
pocket. 1t was only after that that he
came to the rescue of the empress and an
peased the sergeant de ville's wrath by
telling him who the lady was. Count
PrimoH who is a great favorite of both
the empress and of Princess Mathilde
Bonaparte, is the son of one of the sis
ters Of Cardinal Bonaparte, belonging.
therefore, to the Lucien branch of the
family. He is renowned as probably the
must successful and enthusiasts Of All
the amateur photographers of the old
world. many specimens of his work hav-
ing been published in the American press.
