TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
The Boycott of the PeeGee Carried
Into the Courts.

Kansas City, August 25.-An attorney
for the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
railway is quoted as saying today that
papers have already been prepared to Sc
cure temporary restraining order against
the eleven Western railroads whose off,
Gals have announced that on Tuesday
next they will sever freight relations with
the Gulf. Ii is understood that the firss
move will be made in the Federal court,
inasmuch as the Pittsburg and Gulf pro-
perty Is now in the hands of receivers APP
pointed by the United States court. If
freight divisions are cancelled, as threat
ened. the offending roads will, it is said
be enjoined and If they do not heed the
orders of the Federal court their officers
will be arrested for contempt. This is the
legal plan of battle as outlined. It may
be supplemented by one of the biggest
rate wars In the history of Western rail-
roads The officers OF the Pttsburg and
Gull refuse to discuss the boycott, except
to express their confidence of success in tie
fight.

Atlanta, Ca, August 25.-The Constitu-

Hon. Fleming Dubignon of Savannah,
chairman of the State democratic execu-

published
Mr.. Dubignon says he has been enjoying
as much rest as he has had time for and
could not have attended any conference
of the kind il he had wished to do SO. He
said:
II have not been in any political confer
ence OF any character whatsoever. nor do
| know of any such conferences being held.
[ have not discussed politics with any
body. and as for being in communication
with Mr. Willet and senator German, as
some of the papers had 1t, have not set

Mr.. Dubignon said: Il take 1t that the

This Settles 1t.

AS each century draws near its close
there is much controversy as to when
the next century will begin.
For more than year past there has
been lively dispute over the question
whether the twentieth century Will pc pc
gin January /, 1900, or January l, 1901.
Newspapers and Magazines have pub
lished innumerable communications ON
this subject; it has been discussed
around thousands of family tiresides and
by many debating societies. Strange
to say, the disputants have been about
equally divided between the two dates.
We say this is strange, for it would
seem to be very easy matter to de-
termine when a century begins.
1t is cause for cOngratulatiOn that
the Chicago Tribune has made publ
cation which will go far toward settling
this mooted question. The Tribune
appealed to Professor w. II. NJ. Chris
tie. tie director of the Royal Observatory,
at Greenwich, for an authoritative
statement as to when the next century
will begin, and has received In reply
the following cablegram from that
eminent authority:
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Lon
don.
October 81, 1900.
Editor of the Tribune:
In reply to your inquiry beg to in
form you that the twentieth century
begins on January 1, 1901. 1t has been
generally agreed to call the first year
of the Christian era Anno DOmlnl l,
not A. d. 0, and consequently the
second century begins with A. ID. 101,
100 years after the beginning OF the
first year, and so on for the succeeding
centuries.
The question was fully discussed at
the Century dinner at Glasgow on April
Is, 1870, when the Lord Dean OF the
Guild, after quoting various author
tiles, gave his decision as .arbiter that
the nineteenth century did not COM
mence till January l, 1901. An account
OF this meeting was printed for private
circulation ut the time. Yours talth-
fully, w. II. NJ. CHRISTIE,
1t appears, then, that the scientific
world is agreed that the twentieth CEN
tury begins January l, 1901:
Suppose we let it so at that and re-
joice in the assurance that we will have
Il whole year due us from the nine
tccnth century after the present year
has gone
