The annual meeting of the Bel Air Road
League was held in the court room, Bel Air,
last Saturday afternoon. Mr.. John H.
Reckord presided, with Harold Scarboro,
secretary.
The report of the council for the past year
was read by Mr.. 5. A. Williams, secretary of
the council. The report was adopted and a
vote of thanks was extended to the council
for its labors during the year. Mr.. Williams
declined reelection to the council, while
stating that he expected to continue to take
the same interest in the work as formerly.
The retiring council was then reelected, with
MIR. Henry b. Bruins in place of MIR. Williams
The full council consists of the following
named gentlemen: John Moores, WIN. Old
field, VIM. T. Sawyer, w. Boyd Bell, j. Law
renee Mccormick, VIM. II. Tucker, j. T.
Hopes, Nathan Grafton, William Davidson,
Henry B. Bruins, John s. Dallam and Il.
Smith Norris.
The report of the council states that the
League had charge of the same roads in 1886
as in lS9L-about 30 miles, near Bel Air. 1t
not only kept the dirt roads in repair, but
made considerable permanent improvement
in the stone roads, as well completing the
pike near Bynum Station.
Instructions were given to supervisors not
only to shape the roads up in the spring, hut
to 90 over them afterward and pick out all
loose stones, and to see that the roads under
| their charge were kept at all times free from
loose stones and to keep the watercourses
open.
Work is now being done on the pike from
Reckord's Bel Air mill to Mrs. Mary c. Dial
Iam's gate, on the Forest Hill road, and much
gravelling has been done.
The willingness of many living along the
line of the roads improved to contribute by
| work and teams was gratefully noticed.
The council urge that active interest in the
| work of the League be increased among its
| members, and that each member try to enlist
new ones, and would ask that all persons
willing TO aid in any way, make the fact
| known TO some member of the council.

A NEW SCHEM E
Devised by President Mckinley for
Receiving the Society People Of
Washington.

Washington, d. c., November 22.-
The official programme for the recep-
lions of 1898 at the White House by
President and Mrs. Mckinley has
been issued.
All events excepting the New Years
reception and the public receptions,
will be by card invitation. Only those
invited will be present; but those
who are entitled will be given an OPP
portunity to be present at least once
during the season. The avoidance of
excessive and dangerous crowding
will add to the attractiveness of all
the receptions.
This is decided change from the
previous official receptions, when in
vitations included all persons in off,
cial life for all the receptions 1t is
stated that the division has been made
to avoid large crowds at the recep-
lions, but it is an innovation that
doubtless will cause considerable ami
mated talk in Washington society cir
cles.

ENTER POLITICS.
Railway Employees Will Labor for
the Election Of Railway Men to
Office.

Chicago, November 22.-By changing
its name and declaring new principles
to-day, the American Railway League
has become full-iedged political or
ganization. Hereafter it viii be known
as the Railway Employees and Telegra-
pliers Political League of America.
It's proclaimed object is to deal entire
ly in State and national politics, chiefly
legislation. Behind this. however, is
the desire and the determination to Sc
cure recognition, elective and appoint
i've or railroad men. This is shown in
the fact that a movement is on foot to
secure the appointment by President
Mckinley of a railroad man on the In
terstate Commerce Commission as sue
cessor to Col. Morrison.
Two hundred delegates were present
from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Kentucky,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri New
York Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
GINA.
1t is proposed to work for the cleo
ton of railroad men to the Legislatures
of the several States, where they can
secure the passage of laws that will be
beneficial both to the employees and the
railroads

COMPETITOR PRISONERS
Arrive Safely in New York-All In Good
Condition and Spirits

ArrIVe SaIeiy In new Kali In Good
Condition and Spirits.
New York, November 22.-The
steamer Saratoga, form Havana, hav-
ing on board the released members of
the Competitor filibustering expedi-
ton, has arrived.
The men are Capt Alfredo Laborde,
William Gildea, Ona Melton, William
Leavitt, and Charles Burnett, an Eng
lishman.
They are in fairly good health and
excellent spirits. Capt Laborde suf-
fers somewhat from paralysis, which
he contracted during his long confine-
ment in the Cabanas fortress.
Joseph A. Springer, the United
States consul at Havana, was also a
passenger on the Saratoga Mr.
Springer declined to talk for publica-
ton.
The released men wore the clothes in
which they were clad at the time of
their capture, on April %, 1896, at Bar
races San Cayetano, Cuba.
Another happy passenger on the Sar-
atoga was Julio Artego Y Quesada,
the young Cuban insurgent who was
ordered to be shot by Weyler, but was
of the prisoners family.
Young Quesada tonight said his
release was secured because he pos
sessed information derogatory to two
prominent Spanish generals, one Gen.
Arolas who concerned themselves.
They feared disclosures which would
ruin them. They were in constant
communication with the insurgent
generals, having written letters to
them making arrangements by which
Spanish soldiers woull not be attacked
in the districts controlled by them
In return the insurgents were to have
free access to the trocha and be per-
mitted to pass at will. This propo-
sition was accepted and in this way the
insurgents are able to keep in con-
slant communication with Gomez,
Maceo and Garcia. The friends of
young Quesada were surprised to learn
that he had secured his release by Civ
ing away secret which betrayed the
allies Of the insurgents in the Spanish
army. 1t was this information and
not Gen. Blanco's friendship for the
late Prof. Quesada that secured his
pardon.
Probably the most wretched of the
Competitors crew is Ona Melton, the
newspaper correspondent, whose in
tention in going to Cuba was not to
participate in the war but to report
the true situation in that country.
When arrested Melton weighed 165
pounds, but now he could not pull
down the scales at 100 pounds He
will remain here for about a week and
will then return to his home
