steamer La Touraine from New York
a Havre to-day with the survivors Of
the wrecked steamer La Bourgogne
was the occasion of a sad scene and a

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Will you kindly give me space
enough in your paper to enter a protest
against the action of our honorable
body of councilmen here in Martin S
News that our councilmen are not sat
isfied with one Custer proceeding
against the Wheeling Railway Com
pany, but that they are now going to
try another one against the B., B. &
M. F. Street Car Company. l am GER
tainly in favor of getting every ad-
vantage possible from these two lines,
but might there not be such thing as
carrying this thing too far?
While at times we feel angry at
some little things that occur with one
company or the other, is it not better
to put up with some small things our
selves as to try to run both companies
cut of our city and be compelled to
walk? / accidentally overheard one Of
the officials of one of the roads make a
remark yesterday that has led me to
give this matter serious consideration.
He said if this thing continues on in
Martins Ferry, referring to Councils
action, it will drive the street car COM
panies to this: That there will be a
transfer arrangement by which all pas
sengers will be carried from the city
limits at Aetnaville to Martins Ferry
over one line every twelve or fifteen
minutes. Then the other line will be
taken up through our city and then he
said the citizens of Martins Ferry will
have one line with a twelve or fifteen
minute service where they now have
two lines by which passengers can
catch a car on one line or the other
about every seven minutes.
Councilmen, how is this? Had you
not better go slow and might it not be
we'll to let we'll enough alone? AS
there might be a watermelon spelling
down in Johnson.

EXPERIMENT WITH RAILS.

The receivers Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have purchased 40 miles of S-lb
sixty-foot steel rails and will experiment
with them on the Pittsburg division and
in the Baltimore tunnel. These rails were
originally bought for the Columbia and
Maryland electric railroad, which was de-
signed to parallel the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad between Baltimore and Washing
ton, and to become an important factor
in business between these points. The
project failed and the material which
was purchased has been sold. These are
the first sixty-foot rails to be used on the
Baltimore and Ohio.

Annapolis, Nd, July 17.-Mary-
lands ancient capital was crowded to-
day with curiosity seekers, who came
from Baltimore, Washington and else
where by rail and by water in the
hope of getting peep at Admiral
Cervera and the men who fought and
lost in the great naval fight of San
tiago. Those who reached here early
in the morning were rewarded for
their trouble, as nearly all the prison.
ers, including the Admiral, attended
divine services at st. Mary's Roman
Catholic church, where they offered
up thanks for their deliverance from
the fate that overlook so many of their
less fortunate comrades who fell be-
fore the relentless fire Of the American
guns on July Sd.
TIL church is conducted by the Re
demptionist Brothers.
ducI5d by Brother John, one of the
most prominent Of the order, in the
presence Of a congregation which taxed
the capacity of the edifice to its utmost.
Probably no service held within its
walls for years possessed 50 great an
interest or made a more profound
impression upon thise who attended it.
At the close of the services the Of
ficers returned to the naval academy
and spent the balance Of the day in
strolling about the grounds or lounging
on the broad piazzas which surround
most of the buildings in which the
prisoners are quartered. They are rap
idly becoming accustomed to their sur
roundings and seem cheerful and con-
tented. Ample provision has been
made for their comfort, the food Is
plentiful and of the best quality, and
clothes will be provided for such as
will accept
Captain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, is the
only one of the officers who has thus
far refused to sign the parole pledge.
His reasons for it are that Admiral
Cervera was only required to give a
verbal promise, and that his (Eulate's)
rank entities him to the same privi-
.ege. The authorities here have no
doubt that the matter will be amicably
arranged and that the scruples of the
gallant officer may be overcome.

tn translation being submitted by
M Thiebaute. IN the CouVsisa-
ton which followed the reading of
the proposition, neither the Presi-
dent nor the ambassador entered
upon the question of the terms of
peace. The instructions Of the
ambassador had confined him to
the one essential point Of opening
peace negotiations, and it was evil
dent that the President desired to
consider the proposition at this
moment before giving any definite
reply. 1t was finally determined
that the President would consult
the members of his cabinet con.
corning the proposition and after a
decision had been arrived at Nj.
Cambon would then be invited to
the White House for further con-
ference and for final answer from
the United States government. Be
fore the call closed a brief official
memorandum was agreed upon, in
order to set at rest misleading con-
lecture and to give to the public in
formation on a subject which had
advanced beyond the point where
diplomats reserve was essential.
When the President will submit
the Spanish proposition 10 the cab
met has not yet been announced.
The call of the ambassador was two
hours after the cabinet meeting to-
day had closed, and there will not
be another regular cabinet meeting
until Friday. 1t is generally un-
derstood, however, that a special
cabinet meeting will be held in or
der to make prompt reply to the
proposition.
Secretary Ling arrived at the
White House shortly after the
French ambassador had departed
and had talk with the President,
during which the Spanish proposal
was gone over briefly. Mr.. Long
SAID afterwards that it was an ini-
tial move, but in reply to inquiries
as TO whether it was likely to bring
a speedy Cessa ton of hostilities he
expressed some doubt, saying that
no decision on the points involved
had been reached thus far.
NATURALLY &c plea of Spain 70
open peace regulations opens up a
/ wide EeId Of conjecture on what the
terms Of peace will be. Thus far
there is no official warrant for say
ing what terms Spain will propose
or what terms the United States
will offer or accept. So far as this
country is concerned it is the gen
eral impression that the complete
Spanish evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Rico will be insisted upon as
sine qua non There is not the
