editor of the former paper, addressed to

sfantiate the charges which he alleges

600 from the public purse, and as a con-
sequence of such conduct he has not since
been entrusted by the Ottawa government

as false and malicious libels, and has
directed-that criminal proceedings be

Dr. Weldon and Mr.. Cahan both deny that
they ever made such charges against Sir

PURCHASE OF THE sEABoARD.
The State of south Carolina to De-
mand ALI the Facts.

Baltimore, Oct. Fit now appears that
there Is to be a legal inquiry into tho
sale of the Seaboard Air Line. Attorney
General Barber of South Carolina has ad.
dressed brief notes to Thomas F. Ryan
and Gen. Samuel Thomas, who have ne
gotiated for the purchase OF the system
and this month purchased the Port Royal
and Augusta and the Port Royal and
Western Carolina, which form continuous
line from Port Royal to GreenviIle, s. c.,
via Augusta, Ca, to prove to the sat is
faction Of the special railroad board THAI
they, in making such purchase, had no
connection for understanding with the
Southern Railway Company. This special
board consists of the railroad commits
sioners, the governor and the attorney
general. The state authorities of South
Carolina express the belief that there Is
nothing under ground" in the deal, ana
they say they propose to use the power
given by the new constitution to proven.
what they regard as a gobble of these lines
by the Southern. They fear that the bot
Ting up of the Port Royal is again con-
templated, and with it the violation OF
the state laws. A provision was put In
the constitution last year prohibiting the
sale OF any railroad line to a parallel or
competing line, or in the interest of such
line, or for other than legitimate business
enterprise. 1t also requires the purchas.
ers to prove to the satisfaction of a spe.
cial committee constituted as above
stated that their purpose does not con-
iict with the letter or spirit of this pro-
vision. Gov. Evans has been asked
whether a sworn statement of Messrs
Ryan and Thomas to the effect that thew
had not transgressed upon this provision
would be considered Satisfactory" He
replied that it would not, in view of Tho
developments in connection with. the pur.
chase of the Georgia Central. If the evi.
dence presented is not satisfactory the
state has power to annul the sale.
