FOUND DEAD IN san JUAN.
FOUL. PLAY SUSPECTED IN CASE OF JOHN
WESLEY FRENCH. FORMERLY
OF THIS CITY.

San Juan, Porto Rico. March lO.-John Wes-
lev French of New York. lawyer and grad
uate of Columbia Law School, who had served
as a lieutenant in the list Regiment was found
dead in a hallway this morning. The circum-
stances surrounding the case give rise 10 sus
p!cion OF foul play, and investigation is in
progress.
Mr.. French had been In Puerto Rico a year.
having been employed a school teacher and
also In newspaper work.
The comments OF the local press upon the ex-
citing incidents OF yesterdays contest for the
possession OF the Furors treasure chest ex
tremely violent against the action OF Captain
Blount and the other officers, and the utter con-
tempt of the Americans for the Cuban courts.
The refusal TO allow the service OF legal proc
esses on a harbor tug engaged In COM
mercial enterprise is criticised vigorously. One
paper SAYS editoray: The Americans. claim
Ing to be the only people able TO govern them
selves, unable to obey the orders of their
courts" and suggests that the attitude OF
the Americans officers is absolutely intolerable.
Cendoya has preferred formal charges to De-
partment Commander Whitside against Captain
Blount, Lieutenant Hamilton and Superintend-
ent Fowler.

Senator Moraan,s Victory

Fran the Washington Star.
 The reelection of MT. Morgan to the | Senate by the unanimous vote of the Alabama Legislature is at once a de- | served compliment to that veteran l statesman, and circumstance of inter- l est to the whole country. The State again commissions her most dis l tinguished citizen for one of the most | important posts. He has served her continuously in the upper House of
 Congress since March, 1877, and has l taken, and now holds rank, with the leaders of American political thought. l A Democrat on all domestic issues, and an outspoken one, he has yet not hesi- tated on matters of international mo- ment to ally himself with the hepubi cans and support policies inaugurated by them and opposed by the majority of his own party. He is an avowed ex- pansionist; and having voted for the
 annexation of Hawii and for the rati- fication of the Paris treaty, he may be expected to give his valuable support to that course in Congress which shall
 secure to the country the fullest ad- vantages from the enlargement of it's boundaries.
 This independence of action avs not difficult for so clear-headed and cou.- ageous man as Mir Morgan, but even he could not escape very severe criti- cism on account of it. His services at
 Paris and at Honolulu under the ap- point of Republican Presidents were re- sented by many of his party associates and by many Democratic newspapers, and the matter was hinted at when he first offered for reelection last winter. The narrow partisan view seemed to be that as a Democrat he should have de- clined such commissions. He, however, displayed the full courage of his convic- tions, and willingly helped shape under Republican leadership policies to which he sincerely subscribed. And now his people. with a Democratic majority reaching high up into the thousands, endorse his whole course in office and recommission him for further service.
 Such a reward of merit and true statesmanship comes at time when all of our public men, and particularly those of the South, should give heel to the lesson it conveys. Our greatest questions now are those relating to our new boundaries and to the new obli- gations they have imposed upon the government. If they are to be solved to the national benefit it must be on truly national lines. They are far above the ordinary divisions of parties, as MT Bryan has just discovered to his sorrow MT. Morgan's is the better and the prayer course. He refuses to be partisan as against his own views of his country's interests; and he has brought his constituents, who have just voted for Mr Bryan TOT President, to vote much more enthusiastically for him for Senator on an issue to which MT. Bryan was opposed. The true statesman promotes all the best inter- ests of the country, no matter Dy which party they may be presented and champoined

IMPROVED SERVICE
To Texas and the West Via Meridian and
 Shreveport.

Effective October 2S, the Alabama Great Southern Railroad will inaugurate a new schedule between Birmingham, Texas and the West, via Meridian, Vicksburg and Shreveport thereby reducing the running time between Birmingham and the Lone Star State" twelve hours.
 This service will be complete in all re- spects, consisting of elegant Pullman sleep ing car, vestibule day coaches and dining car, on which meals will be served la carte This train will depart from Bir- mingham, as at present, 10:10 D. m., arriv- ing Dallas, Fort Worth and other north Texas points early the following evening, or twelve hours quicker than via any other line. A close connection will be made at Longview, Tex, with the International and Great Northern Railroad for Austin, San Antonio Palestine and intermediate sta tIons shortening the schedule several hours Parties contemplating trip West should bear in mind that by availing themselves of this new service they can reach the end of their trip almost before they realize it has commenced; and what has heretofore been considered a tedious undertaking may now be looked upon a pleasant journey. It is now possible to eat supper in Bir- mingham one day and take the same meal the day following at your destination in the far limits of Texas.

swish of a silken skirt disturb the stiffness that hangs over the groups of silent men who are crowding about the gaming tables pushing their dust toward the till. They seem ever to be saying: 70, MT. Gambler, please take my money and let me go to bed 1 am so tiredw And he takes it, Slowly it seems at times, but very surely. All about in the wide hall where the men are speculating groups of miners are show ing nuggets and discussing the probable richness of the various creeks. Others are buying drinks for the fairies" who sweep down the wide stairway that leads to the boxes overlooking the show. A card hangs on the swinging doors at the rear of the main room advertising "Theater--Admis- sion 50 Cents."
 At one place we pushed the doors open, peeped in coughed and 'backed out again. The foul air, bad tobacco and the smell of spilled gin were too much even for my hardened friend, Thompson. To a woman who blew cigarette smoke and smiles i'll his face he said: "You are no lady"
 I think he must have been wrong, for am sure no gentleman would dress as that did. It wore a pink bathing suit, short and starchy, natural stockings, sunset slip pers and garters of gold. Its hair was the hue of house on fire. After looking it over carefully for moment, Jim said 1t was what Klondkers call "a dream"

 "Oui," said the dream and then she put naked elbow on the board and called in a clear, confident voice, High ball!'

 It was Il o'clock, but not yet dark, when we passed out and stood for a moment on the embankment and watched the mighty Yukon gliding by. There is something grand imposing, almost awful, about this river Perhaps it Is because we have heard so much about it, and of the far off country through which it flows, the gold on its trib- utaries and the army of lives that have been lost in its dreadful rapids. At all events. there is a weird grandeur about is tonight It is so wide, and swift and deep.

Along the wharf, made securely fast. are the many steamers that run the rapids be- tween here and White Horse; and the still larger lower river boats, some with two tunnels, that have come up from St. Mi- chaels, ad will carry you out by way of the Behring Sea and so around to the towns of the Pacific coast-four thousand miles away. It is a long ride-as long as the sail from New York to Egypt
 But we must not stand here by the river and dream, for we have no burning desire to be borne away on its bosom to the ocean, wild and wide. We are stunning.

I am surprised to learn that this Nigger Jim is a white man.
 The noise that comes from this place re- sembles music. A man in hs shirt sleeves is calling the figures of the dance Some times he sings them, and this is his song. It must have originated in a COW camp: Slute your ladies, all together!
 Ladies opposite the samei Hit the lumber with your leather!
 Balance all and swing your damei Bunch the helfers in the middle
 Circle stags and do-se-do Pay attention to the fiddle
 Swing her round, and off you go! First four forward Back to places
 Second fellow-shuffle back Now you've got it down to cases
 Swing em till their trotters crack! Gents all right a-heel and toeing!
 Swing 'em-kiss 'em if you kin! On to next and keep a-goin'
 Till yer hit yer pards agin! Gents to center; ladies round 'em!
 Form a basket; balance all! Whirl your gals to where yer found 'emt Promenade around the hall! Balance to yer pards and trot 'em
 Round the circle double quick! Grab and kiss 'em while you've got 'em- Hold em to it if they kick! Ladies, left hand to your sonnies!

English-Canadian calls us into the hotel to have liquor with him. He has just fin- ished his dinner. He has learned of a claim that is not yet staked, and at this moment-11:30 D. m.-stagting out to stake it. At the door are his two guides and at their feet a couple of stout dogs, and in canvas paniers their backs are food and drink for the men and their master and feed for the dogs. It is fourteen miles over to the claim and twenty-four back, making eighty-seven miles in all that this white haired Briton must tramp by noon tomor- row, for he has just assured me that he will be back before the Victorian sails at 2 D. m.
 These figures may seem little confusing to people "outside," but I can assure the reader that they are correct and as near to the truth as the average statement of the average trailer over lands. These men are the mastodonic liars of the earth. I have already crossed swords with the trail liar and the raisin liar. The former was the Edmonton trail six hundred days, during which time he ate nothing but ice cream made from the milk of the moose. The other fellow lived nine days on seven raisins. It is too bad. The mosquito liar is gone. He just simply pined away and died when he had seen and heard the trail liar and the raisin liar

UP AND DOING.

The energy being displayed by the
South in the establishment of enter
prises must be the wonder of the world .
Everywhere, both in Georgia and in
other southern states the order of the
day is forward, marchW As a result,
manufactures of all kinds are being
rapidly buiLt-azand the day will soon
come under the impetus of this we'll
directed energy, when the south will
be able to furnish anything from pin
to the finest mechanical appliances and
from coarse cotton cloth to the finest
fabrics of all kinds. When that day
comes the south will be independent
of the rest of the world. Let the good
work go on. But Marietta should be
up and doing and keep in touch with
the progressive spirit of the times. We
have a good town, but we can't afford
to remain Indifferent to the building of
manufacturing enterprises. Only man
ufacturing towns show increase of pop
ulation in the new census. Marietta
could afford very we'll with the idle
capital in our two banks of individual
deposits to build a cotton factory or a
furniture factory or an oil mill. Will
we do it?
