Tar South, The cOnsummation of this
plan, which is said to be beyond doubt,
Will mean n very formidable competitor
with the Southern, Seaboard AIRLINE. and
Atlantic-COast Line. for southern bush
ness. The road traVersing North Caro-
lima would parallel the coast and seaboard
lines, and a through route from Column
bia would enable the new system To get
into Norfolk in as quick time as the es-
tablished roads now make. Besides Sc
curing it's share Of cotton and other
southern products. including those Of
truck farms, the proposed link from Nir-
gilina TO Columbia will afford an outlet for
the products of numerous mills in the
North Carolina cotton manufacturing sec
ton and for the ores taken from a num-
Der of copper mines. now being developed
in that State. Still. the great object Of
the promoters of the scheme is TO get in
connection with the Plant System. 1t
is further learned that the Atlantic and
DanVille owner, l.. Newgass, Of London.
conceived the idea Of putting his road into
communication with the South. English
capital is said said To have been secured
to the extent 100000 for the building
OF the North and South Carolina road,
the owners Of this capital, it is under
stood. having been enlisted by Mr.. New
gass. Mr.. Newgass has large interests
in the South, among his holdings being

FOUL WAGONS USED.
FRESH MEAT FOR SOLDIERS At
CAMP THOMAS CARRIED IN THEM.
BLAME ON LOCAL COMMISSARIES.
Meat I'm Good Condition when
Issued, But After Being Carried in
UncIean Wagons Could Not, of
Course, he Used.

CHICAGO, March il.-Lieutenant-Co
mel II. b. Sharpe testified at the beef in
quiry to-day that wagons which had not
been cleaned after being used for the
transportation of garbage. and the bot
toms Of which were in a terrible condi-
ton, were used 20 carry fresh meat TO
the soldiers at Camp Thomas, Chicka-
manga. last summer.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sharpe was station
ed at Chickamauga from April 23d 10 July
20th Of last year, and was later CHIEF COM
mssary with General Brooke I'm Porto
Rico. The blame for this condition of
things said Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe,
lies on the shoulders of the regimental
commissaries, who sent the wagons for
the meat, without having them properly
cleaned. according to orders. As soon as
he learned Of the matter, he ordered the
wagons cleaned Immediately The meat
issued to the troops, the witness said, was
Of good quality, and in good condition,
but after 1t had been carried in wagons
in the condition described. it was, Of
course. impossible for the troops to use it.
Six witnesses were examined at the first
sitting of the court to-day, the evidence
given by IIeutenant-Colonel Sharpe be-
ing the most important OF the day
BOTTOMLEsS TANK COMPLAINTS.
Dr. W. $ Devoe, chief inspector Of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry. Department
Of Agriculture. in his testimony, stated
that he was sent here i'm 1894 70 inyesu-
gate complaints about bottOmless tanks
which complaints were not substantiated.
Continuing, he said: 1T was, however.
pretty we'll substantiated in some pack
lighthouses. where quarters had been re-
moved from the top of the tanks and sold
i'm this market. | refer of course, 10
condemned meat"
Subsequently, DR.. Devoe said he wished
IL distinctly understood that the firm 10
which he referred as having sold con-
demned beef in 1894 was not Armour *
Co, and that so far as he knew, their
business had been conductedly honestly.
The witnesses to-day said the beef was
good. and so far as they knew, no chemi-
calls had been used in its preparation.

OFFICERS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Opinion rs 10 Presidents Authority
TO Enlist Volunteers.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE War
Department has asked Judge-Advocate-
General Lieber for an opinion as 10 tho
authority Of the President to enlist gene
raj volunteer officers for service in the
Philippines. and General Lieber makes
the following reply:
Il am of the opinion that. under the
proviso referred TO- general officers OF
volunteers may be enlisted for absolutely
necessary purposes in the Philippine Is
lands. The President is by the proviso
authorized 10 enlist officers or men indi-
yldually or i'm organizations and this, i'm
my opinion. gives him authority TO enlist
general officers individually. | attach no
to the word enlist
Under this construction OF the law. the
President can appoint or enlist, as the
law says. such general officers and volun-
teers as may be necessary. This means
that the troops i'm the Philippines will be
supplied with general officers in sufficient
numbers.

was set down as a local road, the build

PHILOSOPHY 0F AN EMPRESS.
Some OF The Peculiar Sayings Of The Murdered
Elizabeth of Austria.

The diary of DR.. Constantin Chrituo-
manos. one of the Greek tutors of the
late Empress Elizabeth has been pub
lished here. says the Vienna correspon-
dent of the London Standard. The book
is chiefly interesting for the sake of the
aphoysms of which her majesty was
so fond. Among those which the au-
thor reproduces are the following: II
do not believe in medicine, and at best
would tolerate homeopathy, because
men like to be deceived. and small
doses do less harm. After a conversa-
ton with the emperor. i'm Hungarian, OF
which the tutor only caught the names
OF seVera! statesmen and politicians,
the empress said: II have just been
taking politics with the emperor /
wish / could help him. but / am bet
ter at Greek. / have no respect for poll
ties, and do not consider them worthy
OF interest They are nothing but self
deception. Politicians are under the
impression that they lead, but they are
merely carried along by events which
invariably take them by surprise Each
cabinet has it, at it's birth, the seeds of
its own fall, and its successor shares
the same fate. All that happens, hap
pens of itself, because il must-because
II is ripe, and statesmen can only re-
cord the facts"
ON another occasion the empress
said; women cannot help their hus-
bands In their buiness, and should not
suggest ideas or give advice. But, by
their presence, they should awake
men $ thoughts or assist their ripening
Man must not be led by woman. One
asks why wives become unfaithful.
Simply because IL sis their duty to be
faithful. Most girls marry only to be
free, and love has wings for flying away
also. II one cannot be happy i'm ones
own way. one can still love ones pain.
An empress is loved chiefly because one
can be somebody for her sake. To the
countesses in waiting | have always to
say something to which they can re-
ply. for that is their duty. 1t is the
greatest terror of kings that they must
always be inquiring. I have stored
away "A long list of questions i'm case
of need. / have already lost many
friends without winning one. Many OF
them went to death for me. while 9TH
ers would rather have murdered me-"
once, on board the yacht Miramare,
her majesty observed a goat. and said:
She is making the voyage without any
enthusiasm, but only from a sense of
duty. because she is English" mo one
can influence me-" For good or evil,
| act upon my inner consciousness. and
leave the rest to Fate" Il love Helm
rich Heine for his boundless contempt
OF himself. and the sadness with which
al learthly things filled him" wishes
are like mentor one dying, ten are
