 The amendment as proposed in the reso- lution as reported to the house left 1t in the discretion of the states to elect their senators by direct vote or through their legislatures, but an amendment by MT. Underwood (dem.) of Alabama, making se- lections by popular vote mandatory, was adopted and the resolution was then .pass- ed MT. Loud called up the postoffice ap- propriation bill as passed by the senate yes- terday, and upon his motion the house re- fused to concur in the senate amendment, and asked a conference

The third and sixth cavalry had everythin g packed and ready this morning by 8 o'clock when the tents of the camp were struck, loaded on to the wagons in an increditably short time, and at S:25 the march of the sixth to Ringgod was begun. The distance to Riaggold by the government road, com- pleted nearly the entire distance, is about seven miles, and by Il o'clock the command had reached the depot and the work of loading the horses and supplies began. The Western and Atlantic railroad had prepared at Ringgold ample side tracks and loading platforms, so that by 8 o'clock in the afternoon the trains began to move. There was no hitch in the arrangements, and this move has demonstrated to the ofli- cers in charge that in case of an emerbency many thousand troops could be moved from the park promptly and with comfort. Gen. S. s. Sumner is in command of the two regiments; Col. Vessels commanded the third.
 They VIII Go to Tampa
 Later in the day the Third cavalry marched to Rossville, Ga., where they were loaded during the afternoon on board the cars of the Southern railway, leaving to- night for Tampa. A rumor prevailed today that these troops were to be sent through to Key West, but this was denied at the headquarters of General Brooke, who stated that they would go to Tampa. 5-
 The Second cavalry marched to Chatta- nooga, arriving there late this afternoon, and were loaded on cars of the Alabama Great Southern for Mobile, In command of Colonel G. G.

They will also go to Tampa. notice to this effect having been received by General Brooke today. The Second, Seventh and Sixteenth infantry will leave tomorrow (Thursday), and the Eighth and Twelfth infantry will probably not get off before Saturday. All go to Tampa, except the Second cavalry, which goes to Mobile. ssa4s..
 Late this afternoon an order was Issued from General Brooke's headquarters to the commanding officers of the cavalry regi- ments to notify General Wade at Tampa of their exact leaving time, the order clos ing by saying that "both brigades of cav airy will be forwarded at once from Key West to Tampa.

THE PRESIDENT CRITICIZED
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Washington, May 11.-D. M. Scott, quar- termaster-general is here to urge the ap- pointment of General Louis Clark as a brigadier-general. He had an interview with the delgation today and tomorrow a part of it will accompany him to the white house and war department and again ask for the appointment for Alabama.
 In view of the criticisms which have been passed upon the president in executive session of the senate for his failure to appoint any southern men to staff posi- tions it is very likely that some southern men will land in good military berths. General Scott's visit Is opportune and may result in the appointment of General Clark if vigorously pushed.
 Buckley and Smith Cases
 The senate had up the cases of c. w. Buckley. appointed postmaster at Mont gomery and Dallas Smith at Opelika today. but these names were again laid aside.

The Immune Question

The war department has been figuring to- day upon the immune proposition. The government prefers to enlist white im- munes if they can be had, but If not they will be accepted from the colored race. The department Is anxious to know just what it can depend on from each state. Senator Caffery and Justice White say that ten full regiments can be enlisted from Louisiana. Alabama, Georgia, South Caro- lima and Tennessee. Any man who desires to go to the front in post of honor can do so now by raising companies and regi- ments of immunes. The war department will within the next two days send a re- quest to Governor Johnston to call for the enlistment of immunes. As yet the quota which Alabama will be expected to raise has not been made out, but she Is almost certain to be asked for at least one regi- | meut.

VOLUNTEERS AT MANILA.
They Are to Be Relieved by Regulars as
Rapidly as Possible.

Washington, Dec. 12-The war de-
partment has begun in earnest the re-
lief of the volunteer troops at Manila
by regulars. Secretary Alger today
signed an order designating for this
purpose six regiments of United States
infantry out of eight held in reserve
for service in sub-tropical countries.
The regiments are the Twentieth, at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan. the Third, at
Fort Smelling, Mimi; the Twelfth at
Jefferson barracks, Mo. and Fort Ri
ley, KAN; the Seventeenth, at Column
bus Barracks, o.; the Fourth at Fort
Sheridan and the Twenty second. at
Fort Creek, Neb They will go to
Manila as soon as provisions for their
transportation can be made. 1t may
be that the two regiments still held in
reserve, the Twenty fourth and Twen
ty-fifth infantry, will join the others
before they sail. These regiments were
selected in the reverse ratio to the loss
sustained by them in the Cuban cam
paign. The volunteers in Manila will
be retired in the order in which they
reached that city.

LAND AT HAVANA.
The March Of NewYork RegimentThrough
Streets Not Specially Notable.

Havana, Dec 1.-THE Two Hundred
and Second New York regiment began
to land at o'clock this morning, and
at 10 o'clock a column about 1000 strong
started to march from the San Jose
wharf to the Crstina railroad station.
The troops were led by Colonel Seyburn
and Major Abbott, the regimental band
playing simple marching airs, The coll
or sergeant bore the stars and stripes
and the blue and gold banner of the
state of New York.
The route, which was mile and a
half long, was the most direct course
from the landing place to the railroad
station. and did not pass through the
principal streets. There We're only the
Oh binary numbers of people in the
streets, and it was only occasionally
that cries of viva Espana," Viva los
Americanos, or Viva Cuba Libre"
were heard The onlookers We're most
w silent and We're merely curious to
see the American soldiers.
The regiment arrived at the railroad
station at 1920 o'clock, and after some
delay two trains loaded with troops
pulled out of the depot. Some of the
troops belonging to this detachment
are bound for the city of Pinar del
Rio. about IFS miles from here. The
others will be stationed at Guanajay,
and Mariel not far from here, in the
province of Pinar del Rio.

ping milk into the Boston naaFRet ara
to all intents and purposes owned by
the contractor And the situation ia
practically thisi Either the farmer
must sell to the contractor at the oon-
tractors figures, or not at all.
The New England Milk Producers
Union made a determined efforteto bet
ter the condition of things, but through
q lack of cooperation by the farmers,
failed of success. In 1898 a law was
passed, which in substance declared
that No railroad corporation snail
deliver milk in large quantities over
any portion Of it's line, under contract,
lease, or otherwise, without at tho
same time furnishing or providing the
same or equal facilities and advan-
tages, as regards time, care and pre-
serYatlon of the milk and the return
OF the empty cans to lany person ten
dertng the same, nor without establish
ing tariff for the milk by the can
which is fairly proportionate with the
rate of price which it charges or re-
ceives as aforesaid for milk in large
quantities, and any railroad corporation
which refuses or neglects to receive,
forward or deliver milk by the can over
its railroad, or any portion thereof, at
the tariff rates therefor, so fixed and
notified to it by the board of railroad
commissioners, shall forfeit to the
pGISOu leiueIIllS the same uNe collars
for each and every can of milk which
| it refuses to receive or neglects to for
ward and deliver, at the tariff rates,
to be recovered in an action of tort.
See chapter 210 of the acts of 1898
The New England Milk Producers
Union petitioned the railroad commits
sioners to have the law enforced and
rate made by the can from the var
ious stations at which milk was load
ed for the Boston market and able
counsel was employed, but for reasons
not yet published at the time for which
the hearing was set the union voted
to withdraw the petitions, discharged
the counsel, and allowed their agent to
resign.
1t would seem best that this absolute
control of the milk market and trans
portation to the milk market should
cease, and that the law should be COM
piled with, so that every farmer may
know the exact cost of freighting. his
milk in any quantity at any time to
any market. And L would call to your
attention at this time the condition of
affairs, and urge that the matter re-
ceive your careful consideration, to see
whether it is advisable or not to take
up the matter Of freight rates per can
into the Boston market, where the Milk
Producers Union left it. and push the
matter to the end and thereby insure
the farmers Of every town reasonable
and proper facilities for marketing
their products.
