The Austrian steamship Aquileja.
which arrived in New York from Medit.
erranean ports, passed, about 12O miles
south Of Sable Island, on Thursday, a
large number of dead bodies kept afloat
by life preservers. Near the bodies were
a small quantity of wreckage and a life
buoy marked La Bourgogne, Havre."
The bodies were doubtless from La Bour-
gogne, which was wrecked in the neigh
borhood. The British steamer Hiawatha
left Halifax on the same day the Aquileja
passed the bodies to search for them.

Delay In Transporting Prisoners

Causes Embarrassment.
The delay in transporting the Spanish
prisoners from Santiago to Spain is en-
barrassing the War Department in many
ways, as it interferes with the carrying
out of plans in regard to our own troops
and involves the Government in increas-
ing daily expense. The contract for trans
porting the Spanish prisoners was award
ed to the Compania Truns-Atlantique Es-
pamela, but at the end of two weeks not a
prisoner had been embarked for the voy-
age to Spain. The contract provided that
several Of the ships be delivered Mt San
tiago within five days. Meanwhile, the
prisoners have to be fed ut great expense
to the Government. They are falling sick
by hundreds.

their friends Of the Second Georgia Sat
urday they found the boys IN high spirits
brought about by the arrival of an order
10 get ready for immediate embarkation
on transports. presumably for Santiago.
The order read that the Second was ex-
pected to be on board of transports In four
days, and that a convoy of batueships
would be at Port Tampa by that time to
act as an escort to the transports.
Ii was learned that seven transports had
already arrived and were anchored in

the Original Bills OF Lading.
The railroad and steamship companies
have decided TO pay the stamp tax on
original bills Of fading, The tax on the
duplicates and duplicates must be borne
by those to whom they are issued. To the
ordinary shipper, and in fact to even the
largest shipper, this expense for stamps
will not be a material factor in doing bus
inese;l but to the transportation compa-
MES this tax ontheir original bills OF lad
ing means a large sum OF money to be paid
out directly to the government for war
expenses.
one cent on bill of ladlng does not
seem much but when one thinks Of the
thousands of bills of ladng issued daily
by such system as the Central or the
Pant lines it can be easily appreciated
that the expenditures for this purpose
will amount to a very large total in year
Many thousands of dollars Will be paid out
by each of these corporations in a twelve
month for the one-cent stamps that it's
clerks and agents wifi place on the original
bills of lading issued for it. One of the
great trunk lines of the North is said to
issue 30,0C0CC0 original bills Of lading an
nually and its stamp bill will accord
ing be $500 900. Pennies certainly count
under such circumstances.
There was some doubt at first as to
whether the transportation companies
would pay any of the stamp tax or put
il all on the shippers. MA meeting of their
representatives. was held at Philadelphia,
and It was decided. as stated, that the
companies would carry the tax so far as
the original bills of laoing are concerned
but on the duplicates and trip,icates the
shippers must pay for the stamps. The
railroad must soc that the bills are stamp
ed, and wiz probably merely add the tax
to the cost of freight
The express companies do not seem to
have been a party TO this meeting, but il
IS probable thai thay viii adopt the same
plan if Il should he held that the receipts
issued by them are the same as bills Of
lading and subject to the stamp tax.

OVER so DEGREES FOR SIX HOURS.
: Even n Fifteen-NIiIe breeze Did Not
Make Exercise Comfortable.

} Yesterday was almost as hot as the hot
test day of the month so far The maxi
mum temperature for the day was 50. d
degrees which was but seven-tenths be-
low the highest for the month this year,
the thermometer having got up 70 81 on
June p and 10. AS a matter of fact,
though, yesterday was one Of those days
in which the highest temperature was no
proper gauge of the suffering of mankind.
The duration of the heat was what told
and made the rush Tor Tybee and other
resorts in The early afternoon.
For probably six hours the temperature
was over 80 degrees. AT IL o'clock In the
morning 1t was p degrees; at j and p.
m. il was % degrees; at 3 O'Clock the
maximum for the day, g6.3. was reached.
ana at 4 o'clock 4 was 81 degrees. All this
of course was in the shade.
Shortly before 8 o'clock in the afternoon
a welcome breeze came up and comfort
was obtainable by sitting stin and en-
joyng its refreshing GOODNESS. The wind
blew quite stiffiy, but 1t win surprise
many 70 know that its velocity for sew
cral hours was from twelve TO fifteen
miles an hour. Despite this, the air was
not cool as was readily found when one
stirred about TO any extent. This was
also evidenced by the fact that the Their
mometer at the weather bureau at s
O'Clock at night registered SO degrees
There was a probability that the temper
allure for the night would hardly get be-
low Is degrees. On Saturday night with
considerable air stirring il had gone only
as low as 20 degrees, which is not the
most comfortable temperature while in
bed. The lowest temperature for the
month so far has been 65 degrees, on the
nights of the 9Th and 18th.
The out-of-town resorts did a heavy bus
mess. There was a very large crowd az
the seashore. The trains to Tybee and
the steamers to the several beaches were
crowded. In the city those not able TO
escape the heat in any other way patron
lied the street cars, and the crop of nick
les gathered into the railroad company's
Golfers was almost enough to guarantee
a dividend. The patronage accorded the
ice cream saloons and soda water foun-
tains was something enormous, and the
nigh prices for ice for one day, at least,
did not deter the public from buying Law,
ishly. To-day will probably be just such

REV. DIR. GAINES SERMONS.
Heard by Large Congregations at
the Independent Church.


Rev. DR.. F. H. Gaines D. D., president
of the Agnes Scott Institute, preached at
both the morning and evening services at
the Independent Presbyterian Church yes
terday. 1t is the first time DR.. Gaines has
filed the Independent Church pulpit, and
the congregation was delighted to hear
him. Both sermons were greatly enjoyed
by all who heard them.
DR.. Gaines morning text was from Heb.
7-25-"To The Uttermost." He said the
Apostle did not intend 10 teach here the
truth so plainly taught elsewhere in tie
Bible, that Christ Is able to save the worst
sinner, but that these words refer to the
extent or degree of salvation, expressing the
idea of the fulness or greatness Of saliva
ton. Hence the theme presented by the
text The fitness of salvation, or saliva
ton to the uttermost
In presenting this theme DR.. Gaines
showed that Christ saves to the uttermost
in this life. A large part Of salvation
takes place in the present life In this LIE
all are justified, which includes the two
great facts of the pardon Of sins and the
imputation of Christs righteousness. In
this life all are regenerated, the soul dead
in trespasses and in sins, being quickened
into newness of life by the Holy Spirit.
In this life all are adopted into the family
of God, he said, being received into the
love and fellowship of God and with the
rights and privileges of sons OF Goa.
The Son. he said, gives the victory In TINS
life over the world. the flesh, satan and
death. In all these respects Christ saves
to the uttermost. Thus the Christian is
entitled TO the comfort and joy of saliva
ton.
Christ saves to the uttermost in eter-
nifty" DR.. Gaines said "A salvation 70
be a great salvation for immortals must
embrace eternity. In eternity we are
saved TO the uttermost as to moral charac-
ter, being made perfect in holiness; as to
happiness having a home in heaven; as
to exaltation,, being made kings ana
priests unto God; as to duration, the sal
walton being everlasting.
This salvation embraces both soul and
body The soul shall be saved fully in
all its facilities. The body shall be rails
ed in the resurrection more like unto the
glorious body Of Christ.
We have seen something of the mean
ing of the word ''uttermost," but not all.
How shall we measure its meaning? By
the capacity of man for salvation. by the
infinite love of God as manifested in the
gift Of His Son, and by the ability of
Christ to save as He executes the offices
Of one prophet, priest and king.
The evening sermon was from Isaiah
423, on the "Gentleness of Christ, After
showing in what respects gentleness ap-
Piled TO Christ, and giving the scriptural
proofs of His gentleness, he showed the
Importance of this gentleness in salvation,
and its power.
Or. Gaines will be in the city several
days, the guest of Rev. DR.. Fair. By in
vtation he will speak to the young peo-
pie at their meeting Wednesday evening,
