better than the earlier prospects ob- tained in the Klondyke district.

HEADQUARTERS FOR GRAHAM
New Department of the Gulf Soon to
 Be Suitably Housed.

Atlanta, Ga, March 22.-Within a day or two the new department of the gulf will occupy sumptuOus apart ments in this city. Chief Quartermas ter Simpson since his arrival has in spected many suites of rooms offered for this purpose, and now the choice lies between the Austell and the Eng lish-American buildings.
 Both of these are buildings of the most modern construction. If the de partment selects the English-Ameri- can it will be necessary to occupy three floors, but the sections of the Austell building are commodious, and probably two floors will suffice. The department employs a heavy clerical force and much space is needed for the documents and office paraphernalia.
 At the same time the question of offices is settled the quartermaster will decide on stables and warehouses for the transportation equipment of the department. This is extensive and will necessitate much room. Battery l., United States artillery, passed through +he city today eli route to Florida, and was greeted by thousands at the depot. The officers say that Atlanta is the most enthusiastic war town they have reached yet.

A HORRID SPIDER.
How Mr. Brooks of the Santa Fe Was
 Seriously Startled:

There is a mammoth 5arantula at incandescent lamp bulb and is much the same shape. With its legs stretched out to their full extent it can almost straddle saucer. The body and legs are covered with a thick coating of red hair. Other tarantulas of ordinary size look like small spiders in comparison. Messrs Barnes and Benham have been trying to find out what tarantulas eat. Their researches have only reached the extent of dis covering that they do not eat flies.
 Speaking of tarantulas and such things, George L. Brooks, the live stock agent of the Santa Fe, who was in the city the other day. went into the Curio and observing the glass jars containing live tarantulas and other ugly insects, shivered. He sat down on a pile of blankets, but immediately get up again, saying that the blankets would make a good hiding place for the big spiders. He next sat down in
 
 floor all around Directly over his head was a shelf on which were several small and empty raste- board boxes. One of these fell from the shelf, landed on MT. Brooks hat and fell down behind him. MT. Brooks rose with a howl and seized himself by the nape of his neck. Its down my neck or I'm a ghost!" he yelled. Benham, who had seen the box fall, soothed his visitor. explained the character of the disaster and in duced him to be seated again. T haven't been startled so in ten years" said MT. Brooks after he had recOv- cred his composure. What did you think it waS?" asked Beuham T hadn't got to the point of thinking at all or I wouldn't have been scared" replied MT. Brooks; ''tarantulas, centi- pedes, Gila monsters and rattlesnakes passed before me in A sort. of confused procession and I suppose 1 thought 1t was one of 'em. You know, in a place like this those things are liable to be lying around almost any place" MT Brooks moved his chair little fur ther away from the wall, entirely out of the range of the overhanging shelf and began explaining the advanta ses of shipping stock via the Santa Fe route.

STRANGERS TAKE SOUNDINGS.
Mysterious Party of Foreigners Oper-
 ating Along Southern Coast

New York, March 22.-Mysterious operations of an unknown party along the southeastern coast has been no- ticed for some time. It has been oper- ating to the southward and is appar- ently following up the channel.
 The members of the party wear no uniform and nobody has happened to meet them who knows their language It is not a United States government party and what observations it is talk ing in our waers can only be guessed.
 Today there was received in this cty letter from a fisherman, who signed the name of Carl Olderdorf, who had observed the operations of these un- known persons. It was dated Whining ton, N C., March 16, and said:
 T just talked now with another old fisherman who is fishing outside be- tween Georgetown, s. C., and South Port, N. C., who tells me that for the last two weeks he met every day two fishing boats with six men in each boat. The one time he saw them they came out of North inlet. He spoke to them, but they did not answer.
 "The next day he saw one boat off Moralls inlet and the other boat four or five miles from land. The boat near shore was making soundings and one man was writing it in a book. Both boats were making signs to each other. He went close up to the boat-the boat was full of instruments-tried to talk to them, but could not understand them and they could not understand him.
 That night as he was turning in a little river inlet he found them camp ing on the shore close to his camping place.. He went over to them and found they had a tent and were cook ing supper.
 Flight or ten men came in from the woods. Two had a compass, some had chains and two had books. He took supper with them, but could not un- derstand a word they said, as they must be foreigners.
 Last Friday. the last time he saw them, they were off Sharities inlet making soundings.
 Now, my dear friend, what do you think those folks were? We think they are Spanish people taking obser- vations for use in case of war I write this to let you know.'

TARS WANT VENGEANCE.
Gunner on Detroit Says All Believe
 Spain Wrecked the Maine.

Belleville, H., March PA letter has been received in this city by Chris Dietz from his brother-in-law, August Harder, a gunner on the Detroit, who has been in the United States navy over twenty years.
 The letter tells of the life led by the men at Key West and says that every one place he says:
 'The Maine was blown up, all right, by torpedo mines, and well do the Spanish authorities know it. This is official We are anxious to avenge the death of our comrades and at times we can scarcely wait for a chance to sweep the Spaniards off the face of the earth. The Maine came into Havana harbor cleared for ac- tion, which set the Spanish blood to boiling"
 Harder says the tars on the ships at Kew West are under constant strain and while some believe the trouble will be settled without scratch there are others who believe there will be war, and he says all the sailors and marines are anxious for hostilities to begin.
 He speaks of the Maine several times and says the United States navy to a man is anxious to avenge the death of these men, but in so doing they do not expect to come out with out a scratch. They comfort them selves with the belief that if there is war Spain will be Spain no longer and the struggling Cubans will secure their liberty, even if it does cost American blood.

ARTIFICIAL WIT.
It's Forced Production Refinement of
 Cruelty.

The Humane Editor of The Repub- lican, who had been overcome by his feelings all day yesterday 50 that he was unable to attend to his depart ment, came in last night in company with the Joke Editor. The Humane Editor sat down dejectedly and the Joke Editor also seemed troubled. The Humane Editor wanted the Ga zette roasted and the attention of the authorities called to the cruely of the management toward the repOTto torial force.
 Tn what way?" ast ed the city ed itor
 "Why, by compelling him to try to be humorous" replied the Humane Editor; there's a law in this terri tory against su9h things, and I want to see it enforced Write strong ar ticle on the subject for tomorrow di- recting the notice of the police to the outrage"
 "I can do nothing about it. replied the city editor. That's in your de-
  a part of the time you've lost in weep ing over the woes of the Gazette re- porter, in attending to business. Be sides, the Gazette cant hurt him. It cant make him humorous"
 Tt does this.' interjected the Joke Editor gloomily; It bulldozes him into emitting certain kind of humor which like the peace of God 'passeth understanding.
 The Humane Editor glanced quickly and suspiciously at the Joke Editor, but the lugubrious countenance Of the latter was convincing that no levity was intended, and the Humane Editor said: i've noticed for several days an aspiration on the part of the young man of the Gazette to be funny and at each attempt I am reminded that something akin to a Caesarean opera tion has been performed. Changing the simile, those exudations of wit re- mind me of a man in eXcruciating pain sweating blood"
 Maybe he is not compelled to un- dergo this torture" suggested the city editor; perhaps he suffers it at his own instance"
 Would a man cruelty himself vol untarily?" cried the Humane Editor. The city editor turned to the work be- fore him and the Humane Editor arose and started out, saying as he went that he would take up this matter tomor- row and ascertain if there was God in Israel and if the laws on the sraluIe DOCKS were of force and effect.

Britain Seeking Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.--There is reason
to believe that Great Britain will again
take the lead of other nations in the nego-
tiations of reciprocity treaties under the
Dingley tariff act While other nations
were lodging complaints against the terms
of the act and of the very limited advan-
tages offered by the reciprocity clauses. the
British embassy here has been at work
quietly carrying on negotiations for series
of treaties extending the benefits of so much
reciprocity as may be obtained under the
act to the British possessions in the West
Indies. Sir Julian Pauncefote has been at
the State Department several times re-
Gently. Matters are advancing to a point
where il is expected some of the officials
of the British colonies will be called into
the consultations prior to signing an agrees
ment. as is customary when British coll
onies are concerned. 1t is said that the old
reciprocity treaties which were set aside
by the Wilson act will still serve a use
full purpose as the basis for the new agree
ments, though it will be necessary to amend
them in order to allow for the changes in
business and commerce that have taken
place since they were drawn.
