LAWTONS GOOD SUGGESTION

GENERAL LAYTON who has charge OF
the American forces in the province OF
Santiago, Cuba, has been making a
study of the Cuban soldier and is very
much impressed with his good qualities
General Lawton recommends that the
Cubans be enlisted into the American
army OF occupation in Cuba. He says
that their knowledge OF guerilla warfare
and their immunity from the diseases Of
a tropical climate fits them peculiarly for
duty in Cuba. II General Lawton's suR-
gestions are carried out they will help
promote better feeling in Cuba, will
give lot Of Cubans an opportunity to
make living and what is best will allow
us 10 reduce our volunteer army. This
would save lot OF precious lives, for II
our volunteers were sent TO Cuba many
OF them would die from disease under
the most favorable conditions.

Caused by a Rumor That the Pennsylvania
Raiiroad Co. Has Control of tho Gran
Elevators in Phiiadaiphia.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal
Smyrna. Jan. II. There is COM
siderable anxiety among tho steamboat
men here over the rumor that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has bought
a controlling intarest in the grain
elevators in Philadelphia. There seems
to be- good reasons to believe that this
is more than rumor, MS one of the com
panies which. few days ago, pur-
chased 5000 bushels of wheat hafi to
ship it by rail- because it could not
get the wheat in the elevators il it was
shipped by boat. For over year there
have been two steamboat companies
here, each making three weekly round
trips to Philadelphia. So great has
been the rivalry that freight rates
came to be any price that could be
secured; each seemed bent on seeing
how much freight it could carry re-
gardless of how much 1T got out of
it. One company carried grain for
115 cents per bushel. The steam
boat companies did not seem con
tent with getting the business in
this town. but sent agents TO kenton,
Clayton, Brenford, Cheswold and other
places. Ths steamboat companies were
notified by the railroad company that
they could cut the rates an much as
they pleased If they confined thoir
operations to this neighborhood, but if
they came into the railroad g territory
there would be trouble. 1t looks now
as though the trouble for the steam
boat companies has begun. II they
cannot store in the elevators the grain
which they ship to the Philadelphia
markets, large part of their business
is gone. The farmers are also much
interested in this new turn OF things,
for they realize that if tho grain has to
be shipped by rail it means longer
haul for them and loss nrice for the
cereals. There is difference of 215
cents per bushsl between the boat and
the railroad rates, and then, il the
latter has no opposition and everything
in the grain line has to ba shipped by
it, the freight charges are likely to be

rive-commiss,nners nnl for Kent.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
Dover, Jan. l7.-Those interested in
tho passage of Five Commissioner
bill fur Kent county were much exer-
cised last week over tho action of the
State Senate in passing juint resolu-
tion not to receive any new business
during the session except such as will
provide for the CARRYING out of the new
Constitution. or course, the resolu-
tion did not pass the House, but it
seemed to be taken for granted that all
new business would be blocked in tho
Senate, as that body was opposed to its
introduction. From the present out
look there will be Five Comm issioners
bill passed, and the boundaries of the
districts will be the present Senatorial
districts. There is some talk of one
commissioner from each Legislative dis
trict, but this ia hardly likely TO be
done, as thu sentiment of the people of
the county seems to lie to reduce the
number of officials as much as possible.
The bill may provide for tho appoint
nient Of five tax collectors, ono from
each district. but there is a strong sen
timent in favor of receiver of tnxss,
and the latter propoaition will likely ba
incorporated in the bill.

chased several cakes He spent tho
night with colored family named
Syker, and the next morning went in
the direction Of Maryland. Several
colored men, who know Thorn, say it
was he. They met him on the road,
but made no effort to detain him,
knowing that he was desperate char
acter. Some of them eonyersed with
the man, and say that they are positive
he was Thorn. Mr.. Johns sized tha
man up when he came in his store and
would have put him under arrest, but
for the fact that several weeks before
he hsd held up suspect at the point
Of pistol, but he did not provo TO be

want to make another mistake as he
