FULTON'S COMMISSIONERS.
Movement on Foot TO Give Atlanta
Control of the Board.


Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 2S.-The grand Jury
to-day made its final presentments for the
term. Among the recommendations was
one in favor of increasing the number of
County Commissioners from five to eleven,
for the purpose of allowing a representa-
tive on that board from each of the city
wards. AS Atlanta is practically Full
ton county it has been deemed nothing
more than just that the city should be in
control of the affairs of the county and
thus reap some benefit from the taxes paid
by the city, which has not been the case
to any great extent in the past, as most
of the improvements made by the com
missioners have been outside of the city
and in many instances it is charged, in
the interest of private land specuia TONS
The grand jury also calls for practical
reforms in the administration of county
affairs and demands that the promises for
lower taxes that have been so often made
shah be fulfilled

INSPECTORS AT sYLvANIA.

Think the POstOfHce Robbery Was
Not the Work of an Expert.
Sylvana, Ga, Jan. 2S-Postoffice Inspec-
tors Bulla and Gregory were in Sylvania
this week, to look into the postoffice rob-
berry. which occurred here about ten days
ago They seemed to be of the opinion
that the work did not show the artistic
hand of the professional craftsman. No
clue has yet been obtained to the robbery,
although there is a reward of $500 for the
capture of the burglar.
The farmers in this section are not buy
ing guano as largely as they did last year.
The mule trade has also been duller.
The County Commissioners of Wilcox
county met here a few days ago to look
at our new court house. They were very
much pleased with it, and think of build
ing one like Il for Wilcox.

IN TROUBLE OVER COMMITS

ANOTHER MEETING CALLED.
INTERESTED LINES WILL MEET
NEXT WEEK TO STRAIGHTEN

Uncertainty of Dates for Leaving
Seattle Causing More Or
Less Agitation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-A snarl has
arisen in the agreement reached by the
roads Of the Western Passenger asso-
citation OF their last meeting in st.
Louis. The trouble has come up over
the agreement to reduce the amount
Of commissions paid on North Pacific
coast business. The agreement was
that the rates should be so cents on
each ticket, but the Denver s. Rio
Grande did not clearly comprehend the
date at which the agreement was to
become effective, and instead Of reduc-
ing its rate Of commissions on the LIST
of December. as called for by the terms
OF the agreement, it paid the old rate
throughout the month. When Chair
man Caldwell called the attention Of
the road to the matter the road replied
that the error was entirely uninten-
tional on It's part, and asked that the
agreement be amended so that the re-
duced rate on commissions should ap-
ply only on east-bound business
throughout the month Of December. A
meeting Of all the interested lines has
been called for the 18th of this month
to consider the matter and to make ar
engagements for the payment Of COM
missions on tickets sold during the
month of December
Alaska rates are proving a source Of
trouble to the Western roads. and 1t
is likely that a meeting of all Of the
roads will be called in the near future
to consider them. The chief trouble
now is that the purchasers of tickets
from Seattle cannot be sure of any
definite date for sailing for Alaska, on
account of the crowded condition of
the steamers and the few boats that
are available for the traffic. One of
the Western roads which sold several
tickets for Alaska informed the pur-
chaSers that boat would sail on a
certain day and that they would have
no trouble in securing passage. When
the party reached the coast they found
that it was impossible for them to get
on the boat as all the available space
had been taken long before their arriv-
al. The road was then compelled to
keep them in Seattle until the sailing
of another steamer, proceeding that
proved very expensive to the roads.
The roads will try to make definite
arrangements with the steamship COM
panies for the care OF the passengers
they bring to Seattle and failing In
this, they will sell tickets to the Pa
cif1c coast port without any stipula-
ton as to the sailing of boats
The Western roads have agreed to
make the same reduced rates to the
Mardi Gras in New Orleans as they
made last year. Tickets will be sold
Feb. IA to 90, and will have a final re-
turn limit OF March 10

Even at this early date. ten days or two
weeks before 1t was expected by the con-
servatlve ones. the volume OF traffic in the
direction of the Yukon gold fields has as
sumed such proportions that the steamship

rates were given a boost yesterday.
The Pacific Coast Steamship company and
the Washington & Alaska Steamship company

country that, effective yesterday, an increase
