mission decided to issue an order requir-
ing the different railroad systems run
ming into this city TO provide suitable
depot facilities for the accommodation Of

tions.
The order Will apply to the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St Louis Railway
Company, the Southern. the Georgia,
Seaboard Air Line. the Central of Geor-
gia, the Atlanta and West Point and
the Western and Atlantic. Heretofore
the roads have used the depot erected
ON the property of the State, and leased
by the Nashville. Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railroad The present structure
is entirely inadequate fer the trains of
the combined roads. and for the safety
Of passengers. The action Of the com
mission will necessitate separate depots
for each system.

mony occurred in the large office Of the

ber of army officers in uniform and
other employees and officials. The oath
was administered by Judge Cole, Of the
Supreme court of the District Of Colum-
bia.
General Alger shook the new Secre-
tary's hand most cordially and said with
evident feeling:
With all my heart | congratulate you
and the Administration You will find
around you here men who will help
in the arduous duties Of your position.
May God bless you and give you
strength"
Secretary Gage then stepped forward
and congratulated Secretary Root He
was followed by Secretary Hitchcock,
Assistant Secretary Meikleiohn General
Corbin and Chief Clerk Schofield.
General Alger picked up the commits
sion signed by the President and attest
cd by the Secretary Of State, appointing
Mr. Root Secretary OF War
Here is your commission" he said
with smile, handing it to Mr. Root,
lin which you lose your identity and be-
come Mr.. Secretary. | go back to be-
come a sovereign citizen Of the United
States and become Mr.. Alger."
Il sincerely wish it were the other
way" said MIR. Root, as he accepted the
parchment. Then the officers were pre-
sented to Secretary Root by Mr. Victor
l.. Mason, the confidential Secretary of
the Secretary of War. AS soon as they
were introduced they passed ON and

day for his home in Detroit.
The last official act of Secretary Alger
was to sign Il requisition for the allot-

any legal complications by having the
business of the Department performed
by Mr.. Meiklejohn as Acting Secretary.

said tonight that this dispatch had not
been followed by any evidence of posi-
tive case at that place. Should the
fever develop there, however, no sur
prise will be felt in view Of the proximity
of the place to the Soldiers Home, and
the mixing of the inmates of the insti-
tuition with the people of Phoebus.
The opinion was expressed tonight
that the situation continues encouraging.
inasmuch as the disease has been kept
within its original bounds. None Of the
nearby towns other than Ph0ehuS has
reported the appearance of infection or
suspicious cases. The people for miles
around the home are very much alarmed,
but are quiet. No restrictions have
been placed on the departure of the sew
eral hundred visitors at Old Point Com
fort, but DIR. Pettus, who has absolute
charge Of affairs there, will exercise
careful supervision of those who may
leave so as to avoid danger of their
communicating the disease. This will
apply also to the soldiers now stationed
on the Government reservation there.
and who have been ordered to proceed
to Battery Point, Delaware.
Word reached the Surgeon General to-
day that arrangements had been made
for the transportation of these men
through the army quartermaster at
Philadelphia. They will be taken by
boat to Cape Charles and thence by
train to their destination. Battery
Point is an isolated place, and DR.. Wy
man has no fear that the soldiers will
carry any infection with them.

Norfolk. Va, August i. There is no

Mayor Johnston today received a dis
patch from Surgeon General Wyman
Of the Marine Hospital Service placing
Grany Island at the disposal OF this city
and Portsmouth, and it viii be used as
detention camp if necessary.
News was received from the Soldiers
Home tonight That no new eases had de-
yeloped in that institution today, nor
had there been any deaths. The report
that six cases had been found and
there had been two deaths among the
negro population Of Pll0ebus, adjoining
the home WIS confirmed.
Mayor Johnston called UP Governor
Tyler and asked him to urge upon Sec
retary Of War Root to send all inmates
OF the home whose removal was re-
garded as prudent, TO some point North,
there to remain until the disease had
been stamped ont. The Governor prom
ised to give the suggestion immediate
attention.
