THE REMOVAL OF
 TROOPS ID CUBA
Officials Ascertaining the Speed With Which They Can
 Be Transported.

Atlanta Ga, Feb. 23.-The war depart ment has file at Washington reports from all the railroads in the southeast
 giving estimates of the number of men and amount of munitions of war they
 could move in given number of hours,
 and upon what notice such movements
 could be made. This information, cover
 ing movements from Atlanta to ports on
 the Atlantic and gulf coasts. appears to
 have been collected with the idea that in case of war with Spain, or a movement of Cuba, Atlanta would be an important base of operations, a. supply depot and a for warding station for the movement of troops. sssr -. -. -..s.3l From inquiries here today, it appears that in1case of an emergency requiring a temporary interruption of the ordinary business, the various lines could move 100,- 900 men from Atlanta to Brunswick, Sa- vmnah, Port Royal or Charleston within twenty-four hours They could deliver the
 same number of men at Tampa, Punta Gorda and Miami in thirty-slx hours. These estimates allow twelve hours to get the trains ready after notice. The South ern railway has over 60 per cent of its box
 cars equipped with air brakes, and other
 roads are to some extent equipped in the
 same way. There three lines to New
 Orleans that could deliver about 75,00O
 troops in twenty-four hours.
 There are three routes to Brunswick and
 as many to Savannah Charleston and
 Port Royal. It is thought that thrty-five
 trains could be run to any one of these
 places in eight to ten hours with twenty
 cars each, and fifty soldiers in each car. The trains could be run twenty minutes apart and in that way could move 5000 men an hour.
 The Central of Georgia Railway has LOO cars equipped with airbrakes, and the
 Southern has about 12,G0O so equipped The
 Atlanta and West Point has co per cent. of it's box cars fitted with air-brakes, and
 other roads. have smaller proportions. With these equipments the movement of troops would be far more easily and safely made than it was during the civil war, when
 there was no such equipment.
 Terror Awaits Orders
 Norfolk, Va, Feb. 23.-Although reported
 ready for sea at noon today the monitor Terror is still lying att the dock awaiting
 orders. She will not leave tonight, possibly for some days. It is believed the change in the Vizcaya's plans has resulted in a.
 change in those of the Terror. The tor
 pedo boat Winslow will be ready for sea

can be lawfully done by the United States, if anything, to ameliorafe the condition of the Cubans.
 And to these ends and for these purposes said committee may sit at such times and places as they see proper during the ses- sfons of congress and vacation and shall have the right to visit and take testimony in Cuba, If deemed proper to do so. All testimony taken shall be preserved, and the finding of said select committee, together with all testimony, shall be reduced to writing and reported to the senate at as early date as practicable.
 Respecting the belligerency amendment, MT. Allen thought statement was due the country. The amendment, he said, was practically a copy of two resolutions which have already passed the senate Referring to the unfavorable report made on the amendment, MT Allen said 1t was a con- fession and avoidance that meant simply that the foreign relations committee did not desire to pass upon 1t. The truth was, he said, that congress was merely finding some excuse upon which it could continue businens sand escape censure His object was to find whether congress could be in any way induced, cajoled or kicked into putting the country in a dignified attitude on the Cuban question.
 Thirty Three Per Gent Have Perished
 Taking up the main issue involved, he asserted that he had reliable information that no less than B per cent. of the Cuban population, or 500,000 people, had perished in Cuba within the past three years as re- suit of Spanish cruelty.
 And yet,". said MT. Allen, Hest we, the senate, a body of eighty-nine men, offend the house of representatives, consisting of 375 men, a point of order is to be made against this amendment, and it will go the way of very much valuable legislation" Mr. Allen said that If the republican. party fr. Nrr1,a ,snf ed by starvation in plain violation of its platform and of the Christian sentiment of the country the republican senators ought to be willing to face the question on a yea and nay vote.

The republican stories atloat in the
state press just now about Gov. Lee
demanding of Insurance Commissioner
Kipp the dismissal of his clerk, McLaren,
for pursuing methods similar TO Ander-
sons in the examinations of companies
will nave to be taken with a large grain
of salt, as their is an inherent DISPOSE
ton in republican newsmongers to have
all officers attained with records as bad
as their own. II McLaren has been pur-
SUING methods similar to Anderson's he
had Il perfect right to demand his dis
missal and ought to have done it, but
if McLaren has not been guilty Of such
malfeasance and the governor has not
asked for his dismissal, republican
papers are not justified in alleging he
did. A similar story is the one accre-
dating the governor with commencing
the management Of the penal and chrit-
able institutions of the state which he
has :recently personally inspected. II
from information received that these
institutions were not properly managed
and a personal inspection has convinced
him to the contrary, We believe he would
be prompt to publicly declare HE ap.
probation of their condition and rectify
any wrong impression con cernirg them
that may have gone out.

Masons Preparing to Observe the
Centennial of Washing
TONS Death.
Meeting to Be Held at Mount
Vernon on His Birthday to
See About It.
Arrangements Will Be Under the
Control of the Virginia
Grand Lodge.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-There will be
sn interesting meeting in Alexandria,
OH Washington's birthday for the pur.
pose Of arranging for the observance Of
the centennial an niversary Of the death
of the Father of his G ountry. The ar.
engagements will be under the control
Of the Virginia Grand Lodge Of Ma
sons. This is peculiarly appropriate
because Washington presided at the
laying of the cornerstone of the capitol
in 1893, not only as president of the
United States, but also as past master
of Alexandria lodge Of Masons. Dur.
ing the ceremonies he wore his masters
sash, and the apron presented to him
by Lafayette, wrought with Masonic
emblems in gold and silver, by the fair
hands of the Marquise de Lafayette
herself.
While making a circuit of his farm
near Mount Vernon, in the winter
time, Washington, who had then re-
tired to private life. was caught in a
severe sleet storm. He returned to the
Mansion House, and two days later,
Saturday morning, Dec. A., 1893.
he passed away. At the lodge room
in Alexandria, where the meeting
is to be held two weeks from next
Tuesday. are still preserved under lock
and key two Of the candles borne by
the lodge in the funeral possession.
The third light carried at that time was
burned at the laying of the cornerstone
Of the Washington monument, and at
its dedication, and it will be burned
for the fourth and last time at the cen.
tennial celebration Of the patriots
death.
AS President Mckinley is a Mason,
he will be invited to deliver the princi.
pal address at the ceremonies at Mt.
Vernon, which will be held as near as
possible to the family vault in which
General Washington was laid in 1887,
after a scare which shocked the whole
country, Of an attempted sacrilege at
the old family tomb, nearer the bank Of
the river. Arrangements will be made
at this months meeting for a solemn
ceremony following as close as possible
the ritual of the burial itself, and the
intention is to have Masonic and other
bodies from all over the country par.
ticipate.

Failure of the Harvest In Central Russia
Causes Great Distress.
LONDON, Feb. THE St. Petersburg
correspondent of The Times says: A
failure in the harvest has caused terri.
BILE distress among the peasantry Of the
interior provinces, especially in Central
and Southeastern Russia. In some
places they are worse off than during
the famine Of 1891. The Russian editors
have been forbidden to refer to the
matter. Private letters from Tamboff,
southeast of Moscow, say the peasants
are feeding their hall. starved cattle
with the matches of their roofs.
Typhus and other diseases are making
rapid Roadway among them.

The Minneapolis Times Editor Declared
Not Guilty of Criminal Libel.

The Minneapolis Times Editor Declared
Not Guilty of Criminal Libel.
M1NNEAPoLIs, Feb. 7.-One Of the
greatest libel suits ever tried in Mime
sofa came to al end during the day
with a verdict Of not guilty. The &C.
ton was brought by the Minneapolis
Trust company against the Minneapolis
Times, w. Z. Haskell, its manager.
and John Blanchard, its editor, and was
a criminal prosecution by indictment.
The case was on trial wv months and
the jury, after being out "a hours,
brought in a verdict of not guilty as to
the defendant Haskell, which will set
tie all the cases. The jury, however,
declared that the editorial went beyond
the statements in the affidavit on which
it was based.
Cause of the Indictment.
The indictment Of Haskell grew
out Of an editorial comment by The
Times OF the conduct of the Minneap-
Oils Trust company as the trustee Of
certain West Pullman bonds, a part of
the assets Of the defunct Guarantee
Loan company. These bonds, The
Times charged, were disposed of to a
so.called creditors association at 10
cents on the dollar, but five days no.
tice being given to the owners Of the
bonds for whom they were held in
trust, and who were scattered from
Illinois to Maine. The West Pullman
property, The Times asserted, was
afterward rebonded for $24O, 900 more
than the original debt.
