AUTHORITY ON TRANSPORTS.

On several occasions during and since
the conclusion of the war with Spain con-
fiicts of authority have arisen between
officers in command of troops and officers
in command of transport ships upon which
the troops were passengers. In the alb
sence of a rule of the united service gov
erning such cases, the officers of the army
have held that their authority aboard
ship was precisely the same as upon land,
and they have insisted upon having their
orders obeyed accordingly. On the other
hand, the naval officers in command Of
the ships have insisted that the troops
and the army officers became subject 10
their orders upon embarkation, Just as
civilian passengers are subject to the
government of the civilian captain of a
ship engaged In the passenger carrying
traffic
Desiring to remove causes of friction
in the transport service. the authorities
recently asked Admiral Sampson to ex-
press his opinion respecting the matter
and make such suggestions as he might
desire looking to the improvement of the
service. The admiral replied by cable
from Havana upholding the navy's view
of where the authority should lie, and
recommending that the rule governing
the united service of Great Britain should
be adopted by the United States.
Under the British rule all transports
are under the charge of the navy, and are
commanded by naval officers. whenever
any of Her Majesty's land forces shall
be embarked as passengers in any of Her
Majestys ships" says the rule
the officers and soldiers, from
the time of embarkation, shall
strictly observe the laws and
regulations established for the government
and discipline of the navy. and for these
purposes shall be under the command of
the commanding officer of the ship. as
well as of the senior naval officer pres
ent"
Great Britain mas had more experience
in the handling of troops by transports
than any other Power and her expert
ence has taught her that It is better to
make the navy entirely responsible for
the safety of vessel and men than TO di-
vide the responsibility between the army
and the navy.

A New York surgeon, connected with

smile. Il sometimes think" he added
that it is well for a surgeon to feel the
point of the knife at least once in his
life
It saw my first hospital service in this
city with DR.. s." he went on, land no
better surgeon was then to be found in
America. He had a large dispensary clinic,
and rarely a day passed that one or more
cases of felon did not appear.
1T won't hurt was always his COM

THE old doctor was very irritable If
patient made any outcry or bother over
the lancing of a felon Put your finger
down there, indicating the edge of the
table, and keep stilr he commanded; and
truth to tell, patients, as a rule, made
little fuss.
Cline passed on, and in the mutations
of life Dr. S had a felon on his left fore
finger, and it was a bad one. He poul-
ticed 1t and fused with 1t for about
week, and walked the floor with pain at
night. AT last it became uncomfortable, and
he went TO his assistant surgeon and said
nervously:
- say, doctor. will you take look

marked gravely: That ought to have

TIE G. & A. RAILROAD.

The Georgia and Alabama Railroad is
10 become one of the great railroads of
the South That is apparent from the
publication which we make this morning
respecting It's projected terminal facilities
at this port. These facilities are to be
constructed on a large scale. The purpose
is to make them very large, so as TO meet
the demands Of the roads business as it
increases from year TO year; and that 1t
will Increase rapidly there Is no doubt. II
has been increasing right along since the
present management took charge of it,
1t has splendid Western connections and
is already a strong competitor for Western
business that comes to this port. With
three great railroads reaching out 10 the
West we shall expect TO see this port be
come a strong rival of New Orleans for
the handling of Western products destined
for other countries.
The new terminal facilities, consisting as
they win of depots, warehouses, whsrves
and yard room in which 10 handle engines
and cars, will make splendid showing in
front OF the city, and viii be a big ad-
A surprising thing In connection with
this great Improvement is the fact that
everything bearing upon the begin
ming of 1.-THE purchase of the land the
making of the plans and the raising of the
necessary money-was accomplished with
out the public being aware of what was
going on. There was speculation, of
course. as to what the purpose of those
who were purchasing land on Hutchin-
sons Island was, but nothing leaked out
making 1t certain that the Georgia and
Alabama was the purchaser and
intended to have its own terminal
facilities there. Mr.. w w. Mackall, the
confidential agent of and attorney for the
company, managed the whole business,
and he did it admirably 1t isn't often that
a great enterprise is kept from an in
quisitive public until its promoters are
ready to disclose their plans This under
taking of the Georgia and Alabama Rail-
road is an exception to the general rule
In the near future that portion of Hutch
inson's Island which the road has Sc
cured will present a very busy scene, and
the river, between the island and a part
of the citys river front, will be even more
thckly dotted with vessels during the
busy season than 1t is at present, and
during the duh summer months the roads
business will keep the river opposite the

. SPANISH COMMISSIONERS PRE-
DICTION


If there is any truth in the statement
that an interview, which appeared in La
Patrie, a Paris paper, on Monday was
authorized by one of the Spanish mem
hers of the peace commission, Spanish
statesmen think that the United States
are going 10 be a very troublesome factor
in the worlds affairs. Either they think
that or else the agents Of Spain are hav-
ing such interviews as that in question
published in Paris with the hope that Eu-
ropean rulers will become alarmed at the
growing power of the United States and
win in some way, assist Spain In retain
ing control of the Philippines.
The following is an extract from the IN
terview in question: peace between
Spain and the United States viii compl-
cate all the Eastern questions. The day
upon which the preliminaries are signed
the first chapter in the new history of Eu-
rope win be commenced, as the United
States will henceforth play a preponderant
role In events of which different parts of
the world will be the theater."
We doubt very much If it is now the
thought in the minds of any considerable
number of the public men of this country,
or of the people, that the United States
will insist upon having a preponderating
voice in all questions affecting the East
after the treaty with Spain is ratified.
Still, what is not IN the minds of the
American people now. in respect to the
East. events in the near future may put
there
If any one had suggested when the
war with Spain was begun that the United
States would like to have the Philippines,
and would make an effort to get them
before the war was concluded, he would
have been laughed at or regarded as a fit
subject for a lunatic asylum. But events
wholly unexpected happened, and these
events have had a powerful influence in
shaping public sentiment In respect to ac-
curing territory in the East. Before we
took possession of Manila the wisdom of
the policy of the founders of the Republic,
that we should conhne ourselves to this
continent and under no circumstances be-
come entangled in questions which dis
turb the Powers of Europe, was recog-
nized. Now the wisdom of that policy Is
doubted by a very large portion of the
American people, if not by the majority
of them, Therefore, it cannot be stated
with any degree of posiuveness that the
opinion of the Spanish commissioner ex-
pressed in his interview Is not, in the
main, correct.
II is to be hoped that 1t is not, because
it would mean the raising of a great army
and the building of a navy as big as that
of England, if not bigger, and 1t would
also mean, in all probability, intermina-
bic wars. It Is true that we need other
markets for our manufactured products,
but we ought to be able to capture them
by peaceable means. War. when for con-
quest, either of markets or territory, leads
to many evils. The aim of the American
people should be to extend their commerce
to all parts of the world by peaceful
means.
