To Be Doubled So as to Equal That of Uncle
Sam.
NEW YORK, October ga dispatch
to the Herald from Berlin says:
The Berliner Tageblatt declares that
the imperial government intends to
double the strength of the navy.
The reason given is the great in
crease Of the navy of America, which is
evidently destined to become a great
sea power.
The report from Washington that nc
solution of the Samoan question has
been found is stated to be due to the
fact that no agreement can be reached
between England and Germany.
There is reason to believe that this is
not quite correct and that the negotia-
lions have not been broken off.

OF lading thereafter issued in terms
provides for the transportation OF the
trees by the initial carrier to Columbus.
ana the delivery there in good order to
q connecting railroad or steamer, to be
forwarded to destination. Confessedly
the literal terms of the bill of lading
We're complied with, inasmuch as the
goods We're transported to Columbus,
and there delivered to 81 line OF steam
ers which reached Ft. Gaines by the
enc ttahoochco river. AS n matter Of
fact, The goods were transported by
river. and delivered at the wharf or
warehouse Of the steamer subject TO
The order OF the consiGnee. There caN
pc no question but what the stpula-
tons contained in the bill OF ladins
must govern. These instruments arc,
as matter of law. written contracts.
In the case of Railroad Co. ". Hassel-
lSus, d Ga. 3S5, II S. L. $50, our present
chief justice said, i'll delivering the
opinion of this court, that: The Office
of bill of lading is to enbody the con-
tract OF carriage, as we'll as to evidence
the receipt OF the goods; and when the
Shipper accents it, without objection.
before the goods have been shipped and
proceeding with the Shipment it is to
be presumed that he has accepted it as
containing the contract, and that he
has assented to its terms" From these
rules of law 1t must follow as cor
oilary that, IL no mistake or fraud is
charged in the execution of the con-
tract it would he conclusvely pre-
Sumed that all oral negotiations and
representations, not only as to the
terms and conditions on which the
goods were received, but also as to the
route by which they are to be forward
ed, are merged in the bill of lading,
which will be received as the sole evil
dence of the agreement betwcnn the
parties. The bill Of lading, them must
in this case be taken as evidence of the
contract between the parties. and by
it's terme the, contract OF carriage was
comGlied with when the railroad conf
pany delivered the GOODS to the con-
Meeting water carrier at Columbus 1t
must follow that the plaintiffs in error
could not assume that the goods were
lost on November 18th, when they in
CURED for them from the railroad
agent in Ft Gaines, and found that
they had never reached that point by
rail. II appears as a matter of fact
that, at the time, the goods were not
lost, but that they were being trans
ported By the connecting water car
rier. and on the 18th or 10th of Novem-
Der reached TT. Gaines. and were ready
for delivery to the consignee. Inas-
much as the contract authorized the
shipment by the water route, 1t was
the duty of the consiguee to inquire
for the goods from that carrier. The
goods We're not lost at all, and, not
being so, the consignor had no right to
require the initial carrier to trace them.
These facts appear from the evidence
OF the plaintiffs. and under it they
had no right of recovery. and a nonsuit
was properly awarded.
