SAVANNAH, April 30.-From excep.

Vermilye 81 Go. and Hallgarten g Co.
Of New York have completed, through
their expert, the examination of the
seaboard Air Line railway properties
and accounts, and have notified the com.
pHny that they are prepared to complete
the negotiations for the purchase of
10000, 900 of its ten-year 5 per cent
bonds and to issue them publicly as
soon as the necessary formalit1es are
completed.
1t Is also learned that the postponed
annual meeting of the company will
soon be held, and that the slate of addi.
tional directors is nearly made up
Some strong interests which are in close
financial touch with the property will
then appear, and the new directors will
include some of the best known finan.
ciers and railroad men in the country
Contracts have been awarded by the
Seaboard Air Line railway for 1000
tons OF 80-pound steel rails. The new
rails will be distributed along the sys.
tenn and will displace 80 or 60 0-pound
rails now in parts of the track. With
this improvement the roadbed will be
put in shape for running heavy trains
at a high rate of speed. The Florida
trains Of the company, which have pur-
posely been run at q lower speed than
was possible, in order to get the track
on the new built connecting links of the
system in good shape, will run faster
next winter. This will secure to the
Seaboard advantages in time, owing to
its short route to Florida.

GERMAN FORCES IN CHINA

French Absence Explained.
BERLIN, April 30.-It is stated by
officials here that the main German ex-
peditionary force in China is now With.
drawing to its former position, leaving
a garrison at the pass at the great wall.
The non participation of the French
in the battle was not due to orders re-
received from Paris, but to their failure
to arrive in time.
Further expeditions are not probable
and will only be undertaken should the
Chinese make them necessary.
In official circles it is believed Gen.
eral Liu acted upon his own initiative,
or perhaps at the suggestion of some
anti-mandarin officials. It is not be-
lieved that the Chinese government or
dered General Liu to resist the Ger
mans, since such action is plainly
against the governments interest.
