work ON THE EXTENSIONS.
Mysterious Survey From Barnwel1
to Charleston.

Columbia, S. c., June n.-Contractor
Jones of Baltimore, who has the work of
building the southern extension from
Columbia to Savannah, arrived here to-
day TO see what progress had been made
in sub-letting contracts by the managers
the past week. The engineer force is driv-
ing pegs on the route.
The Seaboard is preparing to let contracts
from Cheraw to Columbia, or by Column
bia, as the case may be.
The City Council will on Tuesday night
decide whether this city will give up its
park to the Seaboard. Unless it does, the
Seaboard officials say they will pass ten
miles south of this city.
1t is reported that the mysterious sur
vey being made from Augusta to Charles
ton via Barnwell is in the interest of the
Seaboard Air Line, the object being TO
construct an air line that will bisect the
Florida Central and Peninsular. That
will enable the system to form a combina-
lion with the Louisville and Nashville, en-
aiding it to reach another port and fine
territory, besides securing through BUSH
ness for both Charleston, Augusta and
virgin country. For rivals of the South
ern. the plan is attractive.

their rulers is engaged in the effort to de-
prive distant and alien nation of the

love of liberty, it declares that the only
possible terms with the Filipinos is abso-

the same attitude and using the same ex-
cuses that might has always employed in
a contest with right"
The speaker in concluding, said: "If
we are TO keep the Philippines, the prom
Used independence of Cuba will be a case
of hope deferred. The system of imperial
ism will be fastened upon the country, and
the government must adjust itself there
to. Like Spain, We are to send the youth
of the country to learn lessons of murder
and barbarism, to gather and disseminate
the vices and diseases inseparable from
military life and to help fill the grave
yards of the tropics. We are a great
assassin nation, ard the slaughter of pa
triots stains our hands. Helpless, as in a
nightmare, we cry out in agony, and
Christian ears are deaf. In hypocritically
protesting to democratize the possessions
of Spain, we have unparalleled ourselves"
