THIRD CATCHES IT AT ATLANTA
A Few Bloody Heads For Jim Young's
Drunken Volunteers.

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 31.-The police had
serious trouble with a train load of drum
ken negro soldiers at the Union depot
late tonight. \ telegram had been re-
ceived ny the police authorities from
Macon stating that four or five hundred
soldiers who had just been mustered out
had started for Atlanta on a special
train en- route to North Carolina, and
that more than half the regiment were
drunk and boisterous.
AS soon as this news reached the po-
lice Captain Jennings. with five men
went TO the Union depot One drunken
negro who appeared TO be a ring leader
jumped from the train when it stopped
and as soon as he saw a policeman he
began to curse and talk about killing
somebody. Before the fellow could walk
out of the depot he was in the hands of
a policeman. He resisted and clubs and
pistols were freely displayed. -Four or
five other soldiers rushed to the assist
ance of their comrade, and there were
as many bloody heads in very few
seconds.
The ring leader was arrested and taken
10 the police barracks This produced
a quietus ON the turbulent crowd.
The Third North Carolina volunteers,
composed of negroes, was mustered out
at Macon and the men were paid all the
way from $25 to S75, and were furnish
ed with a special train home. Before
leaving Macon most of the negro sol
diers began to drink, and by the time the
train pulled ont more than half of them
were drunk. They began to take charge
of the train. which was composed Of
fourteen coaches. and they soon had
things their own way.
The soldiers quarreled and fought in
the coaches and several of them fired
their pistols. Three or four of the coach
es were riddled with bullets.
There was a caboose on the rear Of
the train which had been coupled on as
a place of safe retreat for the train
crew.

SEABoARD CUT NO RATES.
Simply Openly Adopted Rates Other
Parties Were Granting Secretly.

Wilmington, \. c., Jan. 31-Promi
nent officials of the Seaboard Air Line
here to-day made the following state
ment to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press:
The rates on cotton have not been
cut by that system, and in issuing a
legal tariff reducing rates on that COM
modify, they have simply adopted the
figures made illegally and by manipuIa-
ton by parties to an understanding not
lived up TO. and which tended daily to
decrease the legitimate earnings of the
Seaboard Air Line TO a point where il
became necessary in the protection OF
its interests, to openly and legally adopt
the rates made by such manipulation
1t has long been its policy to adopt pub
licly rates secretly made by its competi-
tors, in protection of its line as well as
its patrons"

The MISSION OF PORTER
NOT TO PAY CUBAN TROOPS BUT TO
6ATHER INFO FORMATION.
He viii Ask if the Army viii Dsband on the
Present Payment Of S3,000,000.
Cubans are Excited.

Washington, Jan. 31.-It is learned at
the War Department that Mr.. Robert
p. POrter's mission to Cuba is entire
ly Of n financial and statistical charac-
ter, and that he is not empowered to
make any payment to the Cuban troops.
It is admitted that he may find it
within the lines of his duty while in
Cuba collecting this information to gath
er all the data he can respecting the
strength and condition of the Cuban
troops.
The decision to send Mr.. Porter to
Cuba was reached after Il full discus
sion of the situation of the insurgent
army between the President and his
Cabinet Mr.. Porter will confer first
with General Brooke, and his mission
is not to make nor to promise any pay
ments, but to gather information. He
will ask if the Cuban army will dis
band on present payment of S3,000,0OO.
Our legal right to make this pay
ment was referred to the AttorneyGen-
eral who held that this sum might law
fully be advanced to the insurgent troops
on condition that the Treasury be sub
scquently reimbursed from the revenues
of the island, and it is understood that
this course will be pursued if it is found
that the desired results can be obtained
thereby. Mr.. Porter was also instructed
to inquire into the workings of the GUS
toms regulations and local taxation mat
ters.
HIS BUSINESS WITH GOMEZ.

Mr.. Porter's mission to General
Gomez is Of a two-fold character: To
discuss with him fully the position of
the Cuban army and to invite him to
Havana.
The Washington Administration de-
sires an immediate and friendly settle
ment of the Cuban army question. AS
the military chiefs decisively refuse to

tion of the claims of the soldiery, Wash

to offer mucn larger sum, even as HIGH
as S15.O00,000 if less will not be ac-
cented. Whatever is agreed upon is to
be charged upon the revenes of the is
land until it is paid.

SHIPPING BILL ARRAIGNED.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The minority
report on the Hanna-Payne shipping bill
was filed in the House of Representa-
tiyes to-day. 1t was prepared by Rep
resentative Handy, of Delaware, and is
Il severe and somewhat personal ar
raignment of the measure and those who
would receive bountieS under it. The re-
port says:
This bill is one that was prepared
and brought to Congress by Il voluntary
committee of ship-owners and ship-build-
ers representing the gentlemen who viii
receive the bounty which the bill pro-
poses to give from the public treasury.
The bill as it is reported to the House
is i'll almost the exact form and grants
to a penny the bOunties demanded by
the gentlemen who are to receive them.
The bill is, therefore, naturally and en-
tirely satisfactory to the interests which
have organized this movement to secure
the vast sums carried in the bill as II
gratuity to be used in carrying ont their
private business and enlarging the pro-
fits thereof
The bill provides not simply for b0un-
ties but for bOunties which once granted
cannot be taken away thereafter.
The twenty-year bounties thus pro-
Vlded are nut in the bill in the Ian
guage of so many cents but when the
arithmatical calculation is made to find
how big these bounties by cents will
prove to be when the time comes to
pay them, we find that they must be
figures i'll tens of millions of dollars.
by a careful and conservative estimate
we find that the Government will be OBJ
liged by the contracts likely to be en-
tered into during the first twelve months
under this bill to pav bounties amounting
to more than $165,000,000. This in
cludes only the shipping now in sight,
and the shipping which must he built
will cost probably not less than 100000
900.
"Of this enormous bounty the

ton of this sentiment. His family was

enjoying while life was young and his
home had Injuries commensurate with
his income Wealth to him was simply

purposes.
He had the culture of good reading
and sincerity, He was most compan-
ionable man. bubbling over with good
humor when business was laid aside, and
with keen sense of the ludicrous. He
enjoyed grotesque characterization when
i'll the company of intimate friends and
could act the boy in the excess Of enjoy
ment and enjoy the relaxation This
was lovable feature in his character
which was revealed TO few, but 1t Is
among their choicest recollections of him
as an index of a nature retainining boy
hood impressions and the sunniness of
youth devoid of care His heart was
readily touched and his resentment east
ly provoked if wrong was intended. He
had a sympathy for the common people
which made him indignant at abuse of
power His was forceful character, -
strong in action, unyielding to opposi
ton, vehement in assertion when his
rights Were assailed, but submitting to
reasonable argument or melting to ten
derness in the presence of suffering.

need Of his enterprising spirit and his
dominating genius for execution. He
will be missed socially by those who
knew him through social channels He
will be missed more by those whose
knowledge of him had cemented friend
ship. But the loss to his family has in
it the sacredness of grief so deep that it
cannot be shared

A CHANGE.

The Pilot appears in new form this
week and with new type throughout A
supplement has been added which gives
additional reading matter. 1t had out
grown its former shell and though there
is no increase in the amount of original
matter il is presented in more readable
shape With the eight-column folio
headings We're discarded SO as to make
room and no leads We're used for the
same reason. Economy of space went
to the extent of suppressing the subjects
of editorials Small type was another
means employed to save space. The
average reader judges the quantity of
news by the space covered and the head
ings by which it is introduced and to
please readers is one of the duties of a
newspaper.
The type used in The Pilot now is such
as to save space and to get as much news
as possible in a small compass. The
need of condensation in writing, often
going TO the extent of misleading brevity
and the killing of matter already set
up no longer exists. The Pilot makes
no promises and must be taken solely on
its merits if any can be discovered.

Somewhat early to speak of the county

SHOOTING FROM THE PIERS.

Saturday morning a bullet crashed
through one of the rear windows of the
postoffice building. From the size of the
hole it made it must have been from a
% caliber rife. The ball was evidently
nearly spent as the glass was broken in
a radius of about two inches from the
point of impact. 1t was evidently bull
let fred from the south harbor pier either
at sea gulls or ducks. This is common
practice and The Pilot has repeatedly
called attention to it 1t is not safe to
walk out on the harbor piers because of
the fusilade kept up There is no inten-
ton on the part of the young fellows to
kill any one, but there is likewise perfect
Indifference as to the line of range. That
there was not a fatality connected with
this shot was due TO the distance. Small
boys are out with small bore rifles and
blazing away at everything in sight. But
the small boy is not as numerous us the
young man. The sea gulls are harmless
birds and aside from the danger to hui
man life it is folly to permit this war of
destruction. Isn't it about time it was
The Pilot has urged and urged
that some attention be given to the mat
ter but without avail There is not a
day when the weather permits that these
sportsmen cannot be found either on the
beach or on the piers blazing away re-
gardless of consequences.
