Frisco Surveying.

A full complement of railroad surveyors were in Green Forest Saturday en route east. THE TRIBUNE did not ascertain from them the purpose of their visit to this country, but presume it is fully defined by the following clipping from the Eureka Springs Times Echo:
 .There has been a party of surveyors in the city for the past two days, who are in the employ of the Frisco railroad, and they have been engaged in surveying line from Chadwick, Mo-, south to Harrison or Yellville, Ark. It is now rumored that this corps will commence survey from a point in Boone or Marion county and continue to Little Rock. This would give the Frisco di- rect line to the Arkansas capitol and at the same time give North Arkansas splendid railroad facil- ities in all directions. The St. Louis & North Arkansas, in the event the road is built from Chadwick to Little Rock, will no doubt seek a terminus at Mem phis, or some other point on the Mississippi river. The matter is being kept very quiet and it is almost impossible to get any in- formation on the subject, but the. foregoing came from parties who are in touch with the manage ment of the roads,

Doings in Congress.

Congress is living up to the talk of making this a strictly busi- ness session. Old stagers do not remember any first week of a session of Congress in which so much important work has been accomplished as has been done during this week. The Senate started right in by making the Ship Subsidy Bill the regular or der of business. thus displacing and virtually killing the Spooner Philippine bill, and the Hay Pauncefote treaty, which it is de- sired to get ratified before the Nicaraguan Canal bills taken up, is being pushed in executive ses- sions.. The House has had one of the regular appropriation bills Legislative, Executive and
 Judicial-reported; has passed the Army reorganization bill and the Oleomargarine bill, and the reduction bill has been reported.
 Senator Morgan, who, as chair man of the Canal committee has charge of the Nicaragua bill, says the report of thes Canal Com mission in favor of the Nicaragua route has removed the last ves- tage of doubt of the passage of that measure. He has served notice upon the steering com mittee that he has no objection to allowing other bills to be con- sidered in advance of the canal bill for a reasonable time, but that he has the votes pledged to take up and pass the bill at any time and that he will not hesitate to do so if at any time he has req son to believe that such under- handed methods as have been

HIS FIRST SERMON.
Elder Sam Eaton Prea ac1les to
 Green Forest Church.

It was a we'll filled house and fairly well behaved audience that greeted Elder Sam Eaton of Eureka Springs at Green Forest church on last Sunday night to hear this young gentleman de- liver his first sermon.
 For the most part the audience was not aware of the fact that they were assembling to hear a sermon from which young man was to date the commencement of his ministerial career, but no one had any occasion for disap- pointment on that account. The young man preached a sermon that would have been creditable to men who have grown gray in the cause. MT. Eaton is a polished scholar, a clear headed, fluent speaker, and makes a splendid appearance before his auditors. If his Green Forest sermon is to be taken as a stand ard for his ministerial career there can be no doubt but that he is one of the coming successful ministers of the state. He spoke from John IS: 34, his subject be- ing "The New Commandment. :"
 MT. Eaton is 29 years old and son of Elder z. T. Eaton, now of Eureka Springs, but who had until about a year ago been one of the leading lights of the Bap- tist faith of Southwest Missouri. The young man was licensed to preach by the First Baptist Church of Eureka Springs on Wednesdas of last week. Although Ybran new preacher, he is not stranger to church work. He has been an active member for several years past, and was at the late Baptist associ- ation at Green Forest placed up- on the County Missionary Board. It was in connection with his duties in this position that Mr.. Eaton came to Green Forest. The church organization here had withered away until not even a meeting had been held for sev- eral months. The young elder took the matter in hand and succeeded in securing enough pledges to pay for the services of pastor for at least once a month during next year when augment ed by like amount which he hopes to secure from the State Missionary Board; thus demon strating that he is not only an able preacher of the gospel, but an excellent field worker as well

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
Made Anonymously Against the OH
GERS of the Wrecked Charleston.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Sensational charges are contained in
an anonymous letter which has been
received at the Navy Department from
Manila. The communication relates
to the wrecking of the Charleston and
makes the serious statement that a
number of officers of the vessel at the
time of the disaster were under the
influence of liquor.
The correspondent who furnishes the
information claims to have verified all
the allegations by diligent inquiry
among the officers of the Charleston
The letter was not placed on the Off
cial files on account of the peculiar ma
ture of the charges, but it has been
referred to the judge advocate general
with instructions from Secretary Long
that the matter be investigated at
once. This inquiry will probably not
take a more formidable aspect than
that of a note of inquiry addressed to
the commander-in-ehief of the Asiatic
station. Naval officers here who have
seen the letter say there was nothing
to justify the charges and they believe
the departments inquiry will relieve
the accused officers from the unwar-
ranted allegations. Captain Pigman,
who commanded the Charleston at the
time of the wreck, is not involved in
any of the charges.

PTTTSBURG, Pa. March 3.-Until
to-day it was believed here that Chas.
L. Davis calvin Joslyn) who died on
Thursday last, mad no living relatives.
A claimant for share in the estate OF
the deceased appeared to-day in the
person of Charles H. Davis, of Balti-
more. This gentleman says he is the
husband of Charles l. Davis's niece,
who was Ada G.. Baughman, daugh-
ter of Alvin Joslyn's only sister. The
niece it is said, had been led to be-
lieye she would be beneficiary. There
will be meeting tomorrow of credit
ors and others interested in the dead
actor, when it is expected several wills
will be Tread. There are many more
rumors concerning the manner in
which Mr.. Davis has disposed of his
estate, but nothing definite is known
as yet Should the last will and testa-
ment exclude the niece as beneficiary
a contest will in all likelihood follow,
based on undue influence.
The Alvin theatre, of which Mr.. Da-
Wis was owner. is valued at about $780,
900, and his collection of diamonds are
worth at least $50 600.
The remains of Mr. Davis will lie in
state in the red room in the Alvin the
atre tomorrow from 8 o'clock in the
mornig until 5 p. m, when he will be
buried in Uniondale cemetery. The

THE CENSOR IS WORKING
OVER TIME ON WAR NEWS.
Strict Care Evidently Being Exer-
cised by Authorities in Africa.
War Office Intimates That Nothing
VIII Be Allowed to Come Through
Until There is Definite Assurance
of a Conflict.

LONDON, March 4, 4:10 a. NIT is
evident that a strict censorship is be-
ing exercised over the news at the seat
of war. as the night has not added
anything to the scanty dispatches re-
ceived during the day, most of which
referred to matters preceding the re-
cent stirring events.
The war Office intimated at midnight
that there was no prospect of news
until some thing definite shall have
been done. This is quite in keeping
with the complete silence which Lord
Roberts has hitherto observed while
his plans were in progress of accom-
plishment, and until he is in actual grip
with the Beers it is probable that the
public will hear little or nothing of his
doings.

KRUGER AND STEYN
Are to Meet and Discuss Overtures
for Peace-NO Early Cessation of
HostiIitIes Probable.

HostilitIes Probable.
LONDON, March 8, 2:27 p. m-Pres-
ident Kruger is said to have left Pre-
toria with the intention of meeting
President Steyn. The place where they
will meet is not mentioned, but is be-
lieved to be somewhere in the Orange
Free State. Those In South Africa
who are conversant with the effect the
recent reverses have had on the Boers
express the opinion that the meeting
of the two presidents is preliminary
to suggestion of negotiations for
peace. But if this is the case, it must
be due to the pressure brought to bear
upon the presidents by the Burghers
and Afrikanders in the British colonies
rather than in the personal inclinatIoDs
of the presidents, as all the available
information depicts them as being as
determined as ever to perSit in the war
until the resources of the republics are
much more enfeeblsd than they seem
to be at present, although some signifi-
canoe is attached to the consultation in
view of the reported visit to England
of Chief Justice De Villiers, Mr.. Hof-
meyr and DR.. TIE Water, ostensibly on
private business and for their health.
But the closest observers do not an
ticipate any sudden cessation of hostil-
tiles and, certainly, the reports from
the theatre of war do not tend to en-
courage the advocate of immediate
peace. The Beers are apparently rail-
lying with their accustomed ability to
repair temporary reverse, and Great
Britain has yet TO test their force as
a defensive power under the new con-
ditions of warfare.
Outside the meeting of the presidents
there is no news indicative of any
change in the situation. Telegraphing
from Osfontein to-day, thanking the
Lord Mayor of Liverpool for his con-
CALCULATIONS in behalf of that city, Lord
Roberts avs:
Il trust Her Majesty's soldiers in

cesses as will speedily restore the free
dom and prosperity of South Africa"
