COLONEL LAYTON TO RETIRE
Has Requested to Be Placed Upon the
Retired List.

SAVANNAH, Nov. a. AT meeting of
the local companies of the First regi-
ment of infantry letter was read from
Colonel Alex Lawton stating that he
had decided to withdraw from the COM
mand and had written to the adjutant
general asking to be placed upon the re-
tired list. Colonel Lawton gave as the
reason for his action that his business
prevented his giving sufficient time to
the regiment, and that he found it inn
possible to attend to more than the rou.
tine duties of the command.
The local companies appointed COM
mittee of officers to wait upon Colonel
Lawton and urge him to reconsider.
They also wired the adjutant general
asking him to suspend action upon Colo
mel Lawton's request to be placed on the
retired list until they could interview
the colonel In the event Colonel Law
ton refuses to recede from his position,
the command of the regiment will fall
upon Lieutenant Colonel T. S. WILLY.

Durham CHARGES Bribery.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-All sorts of rumors
are current about the jockey club inves-

the allegation that a well known sport

amounts during the past season with
large profits. Whatever the truth of

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. pa nice point
has been raised here that the steamship
Arkadia of the New Orleaus and Porto
Rico steamship line is bringing here un
der contract over 100 natives of the
island of Porto Rico, who have been en-
gagged by planters in the Sandwich
islands to work in the sugar fields.
Arrangements have been made with
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
to carry these natives to San Francisco
Immediately on their arrival here,
whence they are to sail for Hawaii.
There seems to be some reason to be-
heve, however, that the natives will not
be allowed to land here, but will be sent
back TO Porto Rico on the ground that
they are coming In violation of the con-
tract labor act of congress.

Gen. Grolt has succeeded in hav-
ing his oleo bill reported to the House
by a decided vote of the full commit
tee. The reports from Washington
indicate that it will pass the House
by large majority. This bill does
not prohibit the sale of olco, out it
dAes tax it SO heavily that it cannot
be sold in competition with pure butter
with the enormous profits heretofore
made. The only way to successfully
regulate and control the sale of this
product is on the lines of the Circuit
bill, and that is why this measure is
endorsed by all the dairy and farmers
associations and the Grange through
out the country. The fact that the
present law fails to protect either the
farmers or the consumers, and that
oleo is being sold as butter all over the
country at profit of II to Is cents a
pound, shows the need of this bill.
The people of the country demand it
for their protection.
