They knew, however, that 1t would be a
disappointment to those who had braved
the rain 10 hear the address, and there
were some who thought the address should
be delivered anyway. 1t was decided to
take a vote of the association upon the
matter. Gen. McGlashan called the meet
ing TO order and stated the situation. A
motion was then made by DR.. $. A. White,
and seconded by Mr.. J. r. Sheldon and
others that the address be postponed to
some more suitable occasion, the date to
be selected by the memorial committee and
public notice given through the newspa-
pers. The resolution was put to a vote and
carried by a vote of IS to II. The meeting
was then declared adjourned. Unless I'M
foreseen circumstances shall prevent an
early date will be named for the address.
AS one of the veterans present stated TO a
Morning News reporter, they felt that the
address was too good to lose, and desired
that larger audience should have the
privilege of enjoying 1t.

farmers. They are after their shipments,
and every freight man Is trying to get
big share of the business for his road.
The activity among the solicitors Is not so
great now as IL will be later, when the
vegetables are actually moving from Sa-
vannah. Then they are among the plan
tiers oil the time. and every shipment OF
any size Is only made after several agents
have striven for it. The business of NOV
ing the vegetables from the truck raising
sections to the North Is important, and
the transportation lines give IL a great
deal of attention.
It Ia thought thsNwar will have some ef-
feet upon the route. the planters will
select. Many of theni have intended ship
ping by the Ocean Steamship Company
but the danger of capture and their truck
pershing at sea may keep them from
sending to market by water. The steam
ship company has reduced its rates on
vegetables for this season, and II would
doubtless have gotten more freight than
heretofore had Il not been for the war.

The Plant System announces a change In
the sailing dates of its tri-weelxly steamer
service between Key West and Port Tam
pa. The Mascotte Is on the line. and will
now leave Port Tampa on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays at o'clock In
the afternoon, after the arrival of the train
with which Il Is run TO connect. The steam
er will leave Key West on Wednesdays,
Fridays and Sundays at o'clock at night
Something less than twenty-four hours will
be necessary for the run each day. The lit
tie Mascotte seems now to be sailing un-
der the protection Of her namesake in the
American fleet now blockading Havana.
The Plant isystem will keep her ON the line
as long as protection Is insured In the men
OF war that now stand between her and
any vessels of the enemy.
Col. b. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic man
ager of the Plant System, left yesterday
for New York, where he will attend a
meeting OF the officials of steamship lines.
All Of the railroad Offices gave their
clerks half holiday yesterday afternoon.
The menidid not have TO report at the Of
/ fees after leaving for dinner. Memorial
| day was also observed In the same way
| by the uptown ticket offices of the roads,
the agents not opening up in the afternoon.
The Plant System has made arrange
ments 10 haul one regiment of the United
| States regulars camped at Tampa TO Pic
mic Island, which Is about a mile from
Port Tampa. 1t is not known when the
movement will take place. but It is thought
II will be within the next few days. 1t is
| also believed the railroad will get a chance
TO transport all the forces in camp near
Tampa to the same place very soon,
though arrangements for only the one reg
iment have thus far been made.
The Central railroad has nearly complet-
ed 200 combination fruit and box cars that
| will be equal In all respects to the best
rolling stock of this class in the service of
any road, Each car has a capacity of tsir-
ty-hve tons and is constructed on Fox
pressed steel trucks, which are the most
durable made. The cars are some larger
than the usual run Of this class, by reason
Of which great advantage will be gained
over the old style. On each car there are
two doors, one of which is intended for
use when ventilation is necessary, and the
other when IL Is desired to keep the cars
boxed. II Is said fifty of these excellent
cars win be turned out Saturday, and put
into immediate service while the remain
der of the POO are expected to be finished
for service by July !.
Recently the Central Railroad has sup
piled its shops with all necessary machin-
cry and materials Cor car building. The

Many On Wheels.

The estimate of $50 wheeImen and
wheeIwomen for the band concert at
the Park last evening is a conservative
calculation. There must have been as
many more on bicycles and not caring
for the music. The night was cool and
the clouds light and the roads well
night perfect. The riders were spinning
in every direction singly, in couples
and in considerable parties. There
were a number of slight accidents.
One young lady made a test of the
relative strength of wheel and tree
and stands ready to sign a testimonial
to the resistance quality of her mount.
It was noticed that the policemen ev~
ervwhere warned all ON wheels with
out lights This was done courteousIy
and doubtless in accordance with Or
ders from headquarters, but the course
was criticised by a number OF riders
who thought that five lights IN party
of six was ample, that anyhow on an
evening with such moonlight lamps
were. rather unnecessary.

HOUSE.

Rep. POgue reported for the Finance
Committee to whom was referred page
and lines SO and 81 inclusive on page
of Senate Bill 3. After recommend
ing slight amendments, the report
goes on to say:
1--WE find that Messrs. Bishop & Co.
hold as collateral, the same having
been paid by them, voucher approx
ed by the Minister of Finance, for
the printing of certificates Of deposit
amounting to $447495, and that
through some oversight this item has
been heretofore overlooked. We do
therefore recommend that on Page 4,
between lines 45 and 46 new item be
inserted: Printing certificates of de-
posit, $4474.95. We further find that
in the Postal Bureau there is an un-
paid bill for printing postal cards or
expenses connected Herewith of $713.-
50. This amount is unpaid through no
oversight or neglect of the Postal
Bureau, as this bill was never pre-
sented until a short time since, all
though contracted March 30th, 1897.
We do therefore further recommend
that the following item be inserted:
Printing 10000 postal cards, $71350"
The report was laid on the table to
be considered with the bill.
Rep. LOebenstein presented the re-
port Of the Committee on Public Lands

From the New York Press
Cuban tobacco fields have been so well
"guanoed' in the last ten years that there
is no prospect of ever seeing pure Ha-
vanas" again. was treated to a puri-
tana yesterday by a man who has i'm
ported his own cigars for years, and with
the smoke he delivered this statement:
1T is the finest cigar in New York, and
there never will be another box of them
made. The quality of tobacco in them is
not grown now, and cannot be grown
again. Havana cigars are almost things
of the past. If Southern farmers had any
sense they would plant tobacco. There
isn't an acre of bottom land in Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi or Louisiana that
will not grow the finest tobacco, and as
for Texas-why, over there in the extreme
western portion of the state, where the
soil is twenty feet deep and the climate
so salubrious that strawberries grow in
mid-winter we ought to raise a quality
of the weed that would bring the aborigi-
mes back from the happy hunting grounds.
There's big money in growing tobacco.
Put the starving farmers at it,
