It may be interesting to mention that
the Sixth French Army Corps whose
headquarters are al ChalonS. is at least
three times as strong as any other corps
It's positions are right on the frontier
racing Germany. It's command is the
most responsible position of any in all
France At present it Is held by General
Harve.
1t Is curious feature of the French
military organization. a phase. proba-
bly,, of the democratic character of the
Republic that in the army there is no
higher nominal rank than that Of Gen
eral Of Division. The Comma nfler- in
Chief is simply prmus inter pares, and
thus must arise continual jealousies
and fntrigues.

Capt. Askew, a well-known coast pilot

vessel, Capt. Green, remained in the north

This is the second visit of Capt. Askew
to Savannah. He was here in February.

The Amadis was suspected of being on a
filibustering expedition and was detained
here and searched by the custom officers
The little boat was watched so closely nv

up by her charterers and she went back
to New YORK.
1t was about that time that munitions
of war were discovered at Fernandina inst
as some of them were being loaded on an
other vessel. A warehouse fun of arms
was also seized about the same time
which caused the proposed expedition OF
the Amadis to come to an end
Capt. Askew says that in all of his ex
perience that trip was the most delightful
he ever had. 1t was a regular picnic ali
along the coast from New York to Savan-
nah and return. 1t beat beating against

TO ASK THE PASSENGER MEN.
A BIG CONVENTION FOR SAVANNAH
NEXT YEAR.

Meeting Tomorrow TO Consider
Extending an Invitation TO the
National Association of General
Passenger and Ticket Agents TO
Meet in Savannah in March, 1897.
a Convention which Savannah
Wants.
A meeting OF the general passenger
agents Of the Plant system, the Florida
Central and Peninsular. the Central and
the Georgia and Alabama railroads has
been arranged for tomorrow afternoon
at the De Soto.
The meeting has been called to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY Of inviting the National
Association Of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents to hold its next but one
semi-annual convention in Savannah. The
next will be held in Atlantic City, Sept.
Is and then a place will be selected for
holding the March meeting. It is said
that there win probably be as many as
a dozen proposals from as many places,
so the city that gets the meeting will not
secure it by default.
The convention Of this association does
more to advertise the town in which 1t
is held than any other means that might
be adopted. With its membership COM
posed Of men in the railroad world and
those that are quick to see any advanta@
ges a place may have TO attract business
or travel, sure means are afforded 1t to
have these advantages spread over the
entire country by the best and most trust
worthy agents.
If the general passenger agents OF the
local roads should decide to extend the
Invitation to the association to make Sa-
Vannan It's next meeting place, and the
invitation is accepted. elaborate prepara-
tons will be made by the roads for the
entertainment of the visitors. They will
probably be given a train to Florida as
the season would then be on, or to other
points of interest in the section.
over 400 members comprise the assoc
citation, and as many as 300 are always
