RI. ADM. SCHI.EY.
He Will Command the South Atlantic
Station Vice Adm. HowisOn.
II is probable, Owing to the Gravity of the
situation, That Some Additional
War Vessels Will Be Assigned
TO the Squadron.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Rr. Adm.
winfield S. Schley will succeed RI.
Adm. Howison in command of the
South Atlantic station. He has no
protest to make against the assign
ment which the navy department Sc
lected for him. AS a sailor he will
obey orders without a murmur He
called upon the president Tuesday aft
ernoon and told him that he had no
complaint to make; that he would
cheerfully assume the duties of any
post selected by the authority which
1t had been his pride to serve for forty.
three years.
RI. Adm. Schley was very reticent
when he left the white house after his
interview with the president, and ex-
cept to say that he always obeyed or
ders would make no statement as to
the interview and offer no comment
upon the assignment to the command.
To the rear admiral's friends the pres
ident has said that he regarded the
station as of great Importance, espe-
cially at this time, in view of the situa-
ticn in South Africa and the unsettled
condition of affairs in some of the
South American countries.
Far from regarding the assignment
as a slight the President told Adm.
Schlcy's friends he regarded it as a
mark of distinction. Besides he said
it was the only way to crafty the ad-
mirals desire for sea service. The
Asiatic squadron is in command of RI.
Adm. Watson and RI. Adm. Farquhar,
who is Adm. Schley's senior, has been
selected for the command of the North
Atlantic squadron when RI.
Adm. Sampson leaves it after
the Dewey reception in New
York. The only other squadron
commensurate with the dignity of a
flag officer of RI. Adm. Schley's rank,
therefore, is the South Atlantic. 1t
is probable. in view of the Importance
attached to the station at this time,
that some additional ships will be as
signed to the squadron, which now
consists only of the flagship Chicago,
the Wilmington and the Machias.

table.
On the other hand advices from
Bloemfentein announced the arrival
there of large number of members
of the raad, adding that the result of
Thursdays sitting is already agreed
upon. as the Orange Free State will
throw in its lot with the Transvaal,
all the Free State burghers being fully
armed and ready to start at moments
notice.
The johannesburg correspondent of
the Morning Post says. The Boer
preparations are as complete as the
government can hope to make them.
1t is believed that martial law will
be proclaimed on Thursday if no re-
ply has been received from England
by that time.
st is understood that the dispatch
ing of British troops to South Africa
will be regarded as a casus belli. The
Boer officers are urging the govern
ment to begin hostilities forthwith.
1t is felt that the Orange Free State
can best be forced to action by sue
cessful military demonstration on the
part of the Transvaal."

THE SERIOUS cEREUS.
Mr.. Smith Thinks There Are Times
When They Amount to
a Tragedy.

''Night blooming cereuses are no JOKE"
remarked Smith to his partner as he ar
rived at the office about u o'clock in the
day.
''Serous things, 1 suppose" remarked
Brown, jocularly.
Smith groaned. Serious? Well, l should
say so. They are a tragedy. We have one
in our family, and just as soon as | can per-
suade my wife to go down to her mothers
for a few days that hoodoo of a botanical
specimen goes in the ash barrel. For some
reason or other my wife decided that the
cereus was going to bloom last night 1t has
threatened to bloom so many times and then
backed out at the last minute that nobody
but a woman would have any more faith in
it. But it was a sure thing this time and
Mrs. Smith sent runners all over town to
summon our friends in to see that dastardly
thing burst into flower; certain billed to
blossom out at midnight. When | came
home Mrs. Smith said:
Now, Henry, night blooming cereus is
something you don't see in flowers more
than once in a century-Or Is it thousand
years? Anyway it's an awful long time
And I've invited the Jones and the Collinses
and the green's and
''Well, about 80 people, half of 'em living
seven miles out on the North side. | had ar
ranged to meet man at the club, but tee-
phoned him l wouldn't be there. Then the
caterers came and they turned the house into
an ice-cream parlor. All my papers and
books and fishing rods and guns were car
ried out of the study to clear a suitable
place for that confounded cereus. 1t took
the center of the stage and kept it, and as far
as [ am concerned l wish botany was at the
bottom of the sea. The layout cost me $50
besides losing in the melee a deed to ten
lots in Englewood."
well, but the cereus?" queried Brown.
ooh, yes, hang it, the thing didn't bloom.

TRADE WITH NEWPORT NEWS.
The Business-Nen's Excursion--NeW'
port Newsians Discuss II.

The movement 10 inaugurate business
mems excursion from Newport News TO
Richmond bids fair to be successful and
the excursion will probably be run in a
short time
AS is well known the object of the ex-
cursion is TO bring to this city number
OF the retail dealers Of Newport News
who wish to purchase stock here instead
Of in Norfolk The excursion was suS-
gested by the application OF Newport
News businessmen to the Che sapeake
and Ohio Railway Company for reduced
freight and passenger rates between that
city and Richmond. There are difficult
ties in the way of granting this request,
one Of which. and probably the greatest.
is the probability that Norfolk would
charge discrimination.
Another objection which the railroad
men raise to making special rates to
Richmond merchants is that the feeling
against Norfolk in Newport News begot-
ten Of the formers allegedly unfair treat
ment Of the latter during the prevalence
Of yellow-fever at the National Soldiers
Home at Hampton, is only temporary
and will disappear in a few days. But
the Newport News people do not say so.
"The feeling against Norfolk Is very
strong in Newport News" said a gentle
man from that city I'm conversation with
a Dispatch writer yesterday. 1T does
not show the least sign of abatement
The merchants there are and have al
ways been anxious 10 buy in Richmond
An Richmond mercha hts have to do is to
offer the inducements necessary to put
them on a footing in our market equal
with that of the merchants of Norfolk. /
believe it can be done. The railroad may
not grant the rates, but 1t looks to me
that the Pocahontas. making daily trips
up and down the James between Rich
mond and Newport News can carry
freight at rate about as cheap as 1t Is
now carried from Norfolk"
Another gentleman from Newport News
I'm the city yesterday expressed opinions
very similar TO the foregoing. and said
he wished it were possible for him TO ap-
pear before the Young Mems Business
Association and Chamber of Commerce
and convince them that the feeling in his
city in favor Of transferring all the trade
possible TO Richmond was not only strong
and general but that it would be lasting.
He gave the name of a prominent retail
dealer Of Newport News who recently
stated publicly that he annually spent
$4,000 i'm Norfolk, but that he was re-
solved to spend no more there. no mat
ter where he would have to purchase,
though he preferred buying I'm Richmond.

BLACK HOLE OF CALCUTTA.
White Temple Lilsened Thereto-Hot
for EviI-Doers and Justice John.


1t would have been hard to imagine a
hotter place on earth than the White
Temple yesterday morning. Justice John
always makes it hot for the evil-doer,
but yesterday the weather-man made 1t
hot for him. 1t is not yet known whether
there is "a bond of sympathy between the
evil-dcers and the weather man or not.
Charitable people do not think there is.
IL was very unbecomingly hot however.
A few persons said bad words about the
weather, and that wasn't half who
thought them. An electrician over JUS
tice Johns desk these hot days would be
humane and kind, even the bah people
think Besides. 1t would put him in a
better humor with them.
