A. G. s. CHANGES
 TAKE PLACE TODAY
Chadwick to Be Soliciting Agent, PheIan to Be Chief
 Clerk.

L. Sevier. the newly appointed freight agent of the Alabama Great Southern rail- road, spent yesterday in having the affairs of the office transferred to him, and he will assume active control this morning.
 T. r. Steele, who formely held this place, left last night for New Orleans, where he goes to accept the position of general freight agent of the New Orleans and splendid record during his residence in this city.
 It is almost settled fact that R. A. Chadwick, who has been MT. Steele's chief clerk, will be appointed soliciting freight agent of the road to succeed MT. Sevier. MT. Phelan has been promoted to the posi- tion of chief clerk of MT. Sevier, to suc- ceed Mr. Chadwick. All of these gentlemen stand well in railroad circles, and their ap peintments are considered most fortuisate ones for the railroad.
 E. A. Jones of Cincinnati is in Blrming ham in the interest of the Northern Steam ship company and of the Great Northern railway, of which two routes he is travel ing passenger agent. MT. Jones is enthusi- astic over the great advantages possessed by his steamship company and of the open ing of the season of summer travel on June IA, At that time one of his company's big ships, equal in size and appointments to any of the Atlantic steamers, will make its initial trip from Buffalo, N. Y., to Du- luth, Minn. From then the ships run reg ularly twice week. MT. Jones leaves for Montgomery this morning.
 Last week the Southern railroad handled over eighty trains of troops from Chatta- nooga to Tampa, Fla. This is on an aver age of twelve special trains a day, and an of them were handled without any serious delay or mishap. J. P. Billups, travelling passenger agent of the road in this city, has been in Chattanooga during that time assisting in the work, and he will in all probability remain there for week or two longer.
 l., Green, division freight agent of the Southern will return from Washington to- day. ~ -ssFeE Gs m sg,
 Ripley F. Beasley, travelling passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville. has returned from New Orleans and Mobile.
 The Louisville and Nashville road will continue to handle numbers of trains of government supplies through Birmingham bound for Tampa. Another big train load passed through yesterday and was handled without delay,

September @.-The developments -
Palace affairs confirm the belief that
the Emperor. by the radical reforms
which he had decreed. prepared himself
for the blow struck by the Dowager
Empress. The successive edicts furnish
history Of the trend OF affairs. Tho
Emperor's chief adviser. Kang Yuwei.
obtained unbounded influence over him.
and inspired the reforms. The official
classes opposed him, and consulted the
Dowager Empress as TO means for nulli-
flying these reforms.
The current story Is that the imme-
date cause of the Emperor's downfall.
was that he appeared one day In Euro-
pean clothes. This offence. il ap-
pears, was aggravated by the arrival In
China of the Marquis Ito. the ia. aness
statesman, which alarmed the Palace
officials. as foreshadowing Japanese dom.
ination in the empires counsels. There's
upon, the Dowager Empress a,ted with
wonderful promptness, and deposed her
nephew before the Pekin people wera
aware that she had left the summer
: palace.

The announcement OF the Emperor's
death Is expected socn and the Dowaser
Empress is likely to appoint a figure-
head as his successor. retaining the real
power herself.
one report says the Empress has strong
views regarding Russias aggression In

is not likely to countenance his Russian
