COL. GORDON TO SEE PRESIDENT.
Has Gone TO Washington to Look At
ter His Rriradiersbip


Col. w. w. Gordon left yesterday for
Washington. He will now make straight.
out application for appointment as a brig
adler general of the volunteer army, hav-
ing been previously put into the field by
his friends without any suggestion or in
timation from him. Some very strong in
dorsements of Col Gordon went forward
from Savannah last night.
Gov. Atkinson did a very graceful thing
in the matter of the brlgadler generals
appointment. When he learned that Col
Gordon's name had been brought to the at.
tention of the President. he requested Col.
Lawton on his return to Savannah, to
call upon Col. Gordon and state 20 him
that he would not have made application
to the President for the appointment had
he known that Col Gordons name was to
be presented. Gov. Atkinson further au.
thorized Col. Lawlon to say that he would
enter into no unseemly competition for the
place, and would not oppose Col. Gordon
in any way. He would be satisfied to leave
the matter entirely to the President
Col. Lawton called at Col Gordons of.
flee for the purpose of making this com.
municatioh, but found that he was al
ready on his way to the depot to take the
train for Washington. He communicated
the message to Capt. Beirne Gordon, and
requested him to advise Col Gordon.
With the very strong Endorsements which
have been given Col Gordon from Savan.

the united support of the Georgia senators
and congressman, which it is believed no
will now receive, there is hardly any doub.

Capt. George +. walker to Tender
the Services of the Chathams.
Capt. George P. Walker of the Chatham,
Artillery went to Atlanta last night to
report in person to the adjutant general
as to the status of his company, and Of
fers tho services of the battery to the Unit
ed States Army.
Capt. Walker was very much gratified
with the success with which he met when
he called his men together to learn their
wishes with regard TO volunteering He
was also much pleased with the increase
i'm the members yesterday, he having
heard favorably from a number of men
who were doubtful at the meeting the
night before. Capt. Walker will report
thirty-two volunteers from the enlisted
strength of the Chatham Artillery, hand
some nucleus for the formation of light
battery.
One of the principal objects In Capt
Walkers trip to Atlanta is to make ar
rangements with regard to the enlistment
of his men. He wants to recruit his com
,pany right here in Savannah. as he be-
lieves 1t can be done here TO the best adj
vantage, and that plenty of good material
can be secured. He also wants to get some
modern guns, such as are now used by
light artillerymen. and put his men
through an immediate course of instruc-
ton. All Of these things will be discussed
between Capt. Walker and the officials in
Atlanta. for he is going there to tender the
services of the company as the Chatham
Artillery. None of the other commission
ed officers except Capt. Walker have yet
signifed their Intention of going, and il is
not likely that they will This win neces-
state the election of other officers, and It
is said there is plenty of good material in
the company for tha5 purpose.

arrangements with the contractors are per-
fected, and 1t is expected IL will be pushed

President, Two Professors and EIev-
en- Students Tender Their Services.
The Georgia State Industrial College has
shown it's patriotism by the volunteering
of Its president, two professors and eleven
students for the war
AT the conclusion of the devotional ex-
ercises yesterday morning, President r.
r. Wright called attention to the state
ment in the Morning News that Secretary
Alger had practically decided to accept TIE
services of 1000 colored volunteers from
the Southern states for the Cuban cam
paign.
Without any further remarks, he put
the question TO the young men: ''Who
here are willing to volunteer their services
to their country for the Cuban war;"
Without a moments hesitancy. the fol-
lowing young men of the college cadets
signified their willingness TO enlist II. c.

In company with these students Presi-
dent Wright, Prof. +. e. Cobb and Prof.

intention to offer their services to the gov
eminent.
All the volunteer students are large and
able-bodsed young men; above IS years of
age. While the college has no regular
drill master the young men have for sew
eral years manifested military spirit and
maintained a good company. They have
a good brass band of some fourteen pieces.
1t is fair to say that no school has mani
tested a more patriotic spirits than the
state college. While they all deplore war,
they are yet ready to answer their coun-
try's call. A dispatch has been sent to
Gov. Atkinson Offering the services of the

Europe's Two Gayest Capitals.


"The streets are filled with beau
tiful things, mostly German Off
GERS, writes Lillian Bell from Ber-
lin in The Ladies' Home journal
"The only trouble is that they
themselves seem to know it only too
well, and as they will not give us
any of the sidewalk we are obliged
to admire them from the cutters.
The only way you can keep Ger
mans from knocking you into the
middle of the street is to walk side
ways and pretend you are examin-
ing the shop windows. Paris seems
city of leisure; Berlin a city of
war. The streets of Paris are quite
as full of soldiers as Berlin, but
French soldiers are not impressive.
They are understood and badly
dressed and badly groomed Their
trousers are much too long. To me
they seemed to need only a belt at
the ankle to turn them into perfect
Russian blouses But English and
German soldiers seem to be in per-
feet condition, as though they could
go to war at moments notice. "

Pyramid Climbing.

Climbing the pyramids is no slight
task. Mountain climbing is no more
difficult. The trip to the pyramids
is now easy for visitors, as a good
road has been made. A ten mile
drive brings one to the foot of Gizeh,
the largest of them all, and OIL
whose construction 100000 men
were employed for 80 years, all to
make a safe resting place for the
body of monarch whose corpse was
afterward stolen. The second lar
gest pyramid is almost equal in size,
and then follow other pyramids of
varying height, the total number
still standing being about Is. Many
visitors ascend Gizeh and most are
sorry afterward. 1t is astonishing to
see the Bedouins, who run up and
down Gizeh against time. The two
fastest runners there agree to get to
the top and down again in eight
minutes. Visitors, however, have to
be helped up each step.-Chioago
