Nor will the mere attendance OF witnesses''
be enough Witnesses now in the military service
of the United States may be ordered by the COm-
mander-in-C Chief to attend; they cannot be eom-
PEELED to testify. and if they could their tesri-
mony might well be far short of what the COM
mission needs TO get at the whole truth. Besides
these there are many important witnesses over
whom neither the commission the President
has any control whatever. When the President
saws that he viii ''do all that is possible %
insure a complete and impartial Investigation he
does not talk sense ''All that Is possible for
him is not enough; it is nowhere neag enough

The presence Of this selfproclaimed friend and
superserviceable champion of Secretary Alger in
commission whose functions should be essen
tally judicial would greatly minimize the value
of a report exempting the Secretary from re-.
sponsibility for the maladministration of his sub
ordinates or for deporable conditions in the
army. The failure to remove him from the COM
mission gives tinge of insncerity to the whole
proceeding, and it will stamp "whitewashing''

1t looks as though Mayor Van Wyck' s
name had been withdrawn from the Dem
ocratic slate for governor. In fact, it is
considered in that connection. 1t is
known that Van Wyck has no ambition
to continue in public office. He wishes
to return to the bench and get away
from the rough and tumble and scramble
of every day politics.
If one could venture to hazard a guess
at this distance 1t would be that John
B. Stanchfield, Elliott Danforth Roswell
P Flower, Judge Robert Earl, Judge D.
Cady Herrick, William Sulzer or David
B. Hill would receive the honor of lead
ing the Democratic hosts. If The Times

1t might lay claim after the adjournment
of the Syracuse convention by referring
to the above list to have named the sue

Atlanta Declines to Offer Camp
Site for One.
Atlanta Ca. June 13-Atlanta has been
hankering after anything and everything,
almost, in the way of military recogui-
ton, since the war began. But there is
one thing at least that she does not want,
as shown by to-days developments, that
is a negro camp.
The war department has been offered
hundreds of acres of fine land upon which
to establish army camps since the first
movements began, but to-day, though none
of these offers have been taken up, a re-
quest for forty acres to recruit negro
regiment was turned down by Mayor Col
ler and Gov. Atkinson.
The Governor received a telegram from
Washington asking if forty acres of suit
able land for that purpose could be had
near Atlanta.
He at once put the matter before Mayor
Collier, and together it did not take them
long to decide that there was no available
space here for a negro regiment The de-
partment was accordingly notified by the
Governor.
Reports of the behavior of the negro
troops at Tampa and elsewhere have caus-
ed them 70 be outlawed in pubic senu-
ment and Atlanta is probably not the
only Southern city that does not want any
of them.

A recent French judgment may be cited
as an ilustraI IOn of Arab manners and
Gallo astutcness. An Arab was travelling
through the interior with his wife; he was

her lift behind him. She accepted, and
presently, in the course of the journey,
conhdcd that she was unhappily married.
Her companion proposed plan by which
she might elope with him, and she agreed
TO it readily. Accordingly when they came
to branch road they increased their pace
and paid no heed to the protestations of
the husband, who was soon left behind FIe

mans village, only to find that precautions
had been,ataken against his arrival, for
everybody asserted that they had known
the runaway pair for many years as man
and wife, and that the real husband must
be an impudent impostor.
The unfortunate man had recourse to the
French, who We're at first puzzled how to
act in the face of a villages unanimous

did her utmost to irTitate her own dogs
they could moi be restrained from fawning
on her, and though she lavished every
Establishment toward the dogs of her new
home they barked and showed their teeth
with ever-increasing fury. The judge there
upon ordered her to be given back to her
husband, and he placarded the village with
the following notice: 1.-THE testimony OF
one dog is here more TO be believed than
that of ten Arabs" AS a dog is one of the
Arabs worst terms of opproprium, this no

FULroN's sENATORsHIP FIGHT.

Deadlock.
Atlanta, Ga, June 19.-The senatorial
convention of the Thirty-ffth district,
which deadlocked on Saturday, is still tied
up.
To-day 61O ballots were taken without a
nomination.
Tomorrow morning the convention,
which is composed of delegates from Full
ton, Clayton and Cobb counties, will meet
again to resume the fight over the rotation
system.
Fulton has six votes, Cobb four and
Clayton two, Cobb and Clayton voting for
Mr.. Mosely of Cobb and Fulton's six be-
ing cast for various citizens of Atlanta.
According to the rotation system 1t is
Cobb county's time to name the senator,
and Mr. Mosely is the choice of that coun-
ty.
He was the choice of that county twelve
years ago. and then, as now, there was a
deadlock. which resulted finally in the
nomination of another man.
w. p. Hin of Fulton appears to be the
favorite of this county, and 1t is proba BILE
that he viii be put in the race against
J. A. Moseley to break the rotation sys-
TEN.
Fulton is determined to make a stand
against what is considered a very unjust
plan of representation in the upper branch
of the legislature, and will undoubtedly
put out an Independent candidate unless a
compromise can be effected by which here
after she will have the senator oftener
than the other two counties of the district.
