connecting with the Matanzas branch
of the United Railways of Cuba. The
line will be seven miles long.
These enterprises. while undertaken
by the government because of the mil.
itary advantages TO be gained thereby.
will be Of immense advantage TO the
mercantile interests of the island.
There has hitherto been no wharf in
the neighborhood OF Havana. except in
the city itself. where steamships could
discharge or load cargo.
The proposed government wharf will
he between three hundred and four
hundred feet In length. insuring thirty
feet of water. sufficient for large
steamers. II will be constructed OF

Numerous sheds and warehouses will

Spain could not even accept the very
liberal terms OF peace offered by this gov
eminent without resorting to its custom
airy skulduggery, by attempting to attach
conditions that would have complicated
the work of negotiating the treaty OF
peace. 1t is needless to say that the at
tempt was failure; the terms Of peace
were not hurriedly made, and were not
made to be changed. Spain accepted
them, without conditions, fast enough
when informed that they would be with
drawn II not accepted at once. 1t is only
fair to say that M. Cambon the French
Ambassador, who acted as SPANS repre-
sentative in Washington throughout all
the negotiations, has taken no part in
any attempt at double dealing, and there
are reasons for believing that he tried I'M
successfully to persuade the Spanish
ministry not to try 1t on.

Does Baby
hrive?

IF your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it il
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

FLORIDA CENTRAL & PENINSULAR
RAILROAD TAX CASE.

RAILROAD TAX CASE.
The application for writ OF Prohibi-
ton on the part of Attorney General La
mar against Judge John White and the
F. c. & P. R. r. Company was decided by
the Supreme Court on July 81, 1898. The
application was granted and a writ of
Prohibition was ordered to issue against
Judge and said Railroad Company, d.
recting them to desist from attempting to
exercise jurisdiction In said case except
to the lines OF railroad from Jacksonville
to Chattahoochee and branches. This
settles the litigation In the State courts
as to the State and County taxes In the
counties of Nassau, Clay. Bradford, AL
achua and Levy. The taxes due In said
counties are to be divided as follows;
For the State, sl9, l64 A, and for Alach-
va county, s4,25O; for Bradford, e, 365 80;
for Clay, ss93.O; for Levy, si,34i.64; and
for Nassau, 1894.
Should the Railroad company appeal
the case to the Supreme court OF the Un-
tied States IL will delay the collection OF
these taxes. but It is thought not beyond
the first day Of January, 1899.

The Leesburg Commercial says: "The
Cuban war will no doubt prove blessing
to Florida, as it has been the means by
which thousands Of men from all over the
Union have entered our State who would
not have come otherwise. They all ex-
press themselves as being well pleased
with Florida, and signify their intention
OF locating here as soon as the present
war ends and the business interests Of
the nation assume normal conditions.
Then it will be that capitalists Of limited

BONDED COTTON WAREHOUSES;.

According to the reports we have seen
the experiment Of bonded warehouses for
cotton has proved even more successful
than its projectors expected.
One of these warehouses at Columbia,
s. c., with a capacity of 1900 bales, has
been so satisfactory that several others
are to be established In South Carolina at
once.
The object Of these bonded warehouses
is to enable the cotton planters to store
their cotton and hold 1t during the season
when prices are low. On the cotton thus
stored sufficient advances are made to
the owners to enable them to meet their
pressing obligations so that they may
hold their cotton for prospective rise of
its price.
1t is said that the system is advantage
eous for the cotton manufacturers as well
as cotton planters. They may purchase
large lots OF cotton at favorable time,
store it and receive advances on 1t which
will release part OF their capital that
would otherwise be tied up.
The New. York banks, 1t is said, have
made liberal advances at low rates of in
terest on cotton held In bonded ware
houses.
1t seems probable that the bonded ware
house system will prove OF substantial
tial benefit to the south.
1t is advancing rapidly as the conf
dence in its advantages grows.
