the proposition of Jno. w. Mackay
and others to lay a cable to Hawaii
and the Philippines without asking
OF the Government cent of bount,
seemed most worthy of acceptance
and certainly preferable to the
proposition submitted to the las,
Congress that large share of the
expense of laying a cable, which
was to become the property of pri.
vate individuals, should be borne
by the Government.
TIT
AT first the only objection TO the
Mackay proposition seemed to be
the purely legal question as to
whether the concession granted by
the Spanish Government would
obligate the administration to re-
fuse landing to all other compa.
les. 1t. now transpires, however,
that portions of the wording of the
proposition are so obscure as 10
lead to the suspicion that an &C
ceptance of the proposition would
involve permission TO land cables
on Cuba and Porto Rico. After
being discussed at the Cabinet
meeting recently the whole mat
ter was referred to Atty. General
Knox for elucidation.
TIL
The Schley Court of Inquiry
proceeds steadily and with no par
ticularly sensational features. For
the third time death has effected
the Court, the last time necessita-
ting the temporary absence of
Judge Advocate Lemley who was
called away to attend the funeral of
his sister in North Carolina.
y
SO far nothing has been brought
out which reflects seriously on
Admiral Schley although a series of
condolences seem to have operated
to prevent his receiving information
and Instructions which the Navy
Department attempted to commu-
nicatc to him.
: ! I !
While it is hard to locate any
particular blame for the failure to
deliver the important dispatch
announcing Admiral Cevcra's pres
ence in Santiago Harbor and
instructing Admiral Schley to go
there, the experience should prove
a warning to the Navy Department
in the future. The imperative
necessity of constant ability to
establish communication between
the Commander-in- Chief and his
subordinate officers is one of which
no successful campaigner ever
looses sight.

The Pan-American Exposition is
great and should be visited by
every one who can possibly go. 1t
is an education in itself and almost
equal to trip around the world.
We like it better than the Worlds
Fair at Chicago, and while it is
not as large, it excels the Chicago
show in many respects and is much
prettier. You can go cheap, not

whatever to get splendid accommo-
dations as cheap as you can get il
at home, and now is the best time
OF the whole season to go.

In this issue will be found a card
from the pastor of the Presbyterian
church here in regard to recent
criticism Of county officials in con
nection with certain criminals who
escaped justice in the Courts here.
The fact is as related recently in
this paper that the Italian murderer
escaped because the witnesses
could not be procured against him.
The Prosecuting Attorney made
every effort 10 get evidence. but
the only witnesses to the crime
were other Italians who were work
ing for the contractor and known
only by number, and soon as the
murderer was arrested they ali
skipped out and it was impossible
to get them, 50 no Indictment could
be brought and the Judge ordered
the Dago released.

As result of this Mr.. Roosevelt
has assumed command untrammeled
by any promise or debt to any
individual or faction and, while he
has proved urbanity itself to those
politicians who have had occasion
to call upon him, no one can in the
least foretell how he is going to
handle the practical side of Repub-
lican politics and every faction is
on the anxious seat.

The Columbia is still Gem of
the Ocean," and the cup will remain
on this side another year at least.
The Shamrock is a fine yacht and
gave the Columbia close race.
Never but once since these races
were first inaugurated, fifty years
ago, has the cup been won by a
foreign vessel then it was only re-
tanned one brief season. Sir Thomas
Upton, owner of the Shamrock. IS
a true sportsman and gentleman
and acknowledged his defeat very
gracefully. He has a great amount
of money invested in different
enterprises in this country. The
Columbia has proven that it is the
fastest yacht of the kind ever built.

Editor CoyGr Chronicle;
l find this part Of Georgia quite diff
ferent from our State in many partic-
ulars. When l arrived here June 26
I found my watch just IS minutes be-
hind the correct time. OF course this
difference Of time was not q surprise.
but just q little singular. However.
1t is surprising to note the difference
in temperature, especially at night.
The days arc pleasant enough, some
times quite warm from about 10 a. m.
to 4 p. M, but at night it Il 90 cool
that one il compelled to sleep under
. blanket. The water, too, from
these mountain springs, compares
favorably with our "pop on ice'' in
coldness. All fruits are ct least one
month behind that of our climate.
Mulberries, blackberries and plums
are just beginning to get ripe. Corn
has not tasseled yet; and no cotton
ct all Is raised in this part of Georgia.
Yours truly. g. A. PAYNE.

The Valley Road In Alexandria.
A visit was made by q Town Talk
reporter yeeterdy evening to the
yards OF the Shreveport & Red River
Valley Railway, in the southern por-
ton OF our city, and found Mr.. \ ".
kerrigan busy experimenting the
unloading OF number of cars of
steel in the yards near the junction
OF the road with the Texas & Pacific.
There are about 80 cars Of the steel
being unloaded and piled systemat-
ically along the track. It will be
again loaded on to fat cars to be
used by the construction company.
The steel Is Of heavier grade than
that used in railroad building gener-
ally. 1t weighs 20 pounds, 10 ounces
to the yard.
About 900 feet OF track has been
lad Tor connecting with the Texas &
Pacific. The storage tracts leading
into Alexandria are being pushed
right along to completion on the
grading, which runs up to where it
crosses Fifth street Just below the
Compress Office.
The connection with the T. &P.
track is made at the place where Che
Morgan line leaves the track. It
runs down distance Of q few hun
dred feet and strikes the main dunn
OF the Valley road. The track lead
ing from there to town has been laid
hundred feet, and Il Ia along
this track that the steel rails are be-,
ing unloaded. This track will run in
to the city as tar as the corner OF Third
and Casson streets, where the passen
ger depot is to be located-the SPOT
where the old Rosenthal Residence
now stands. The freight depot will
be on the corner Of Fourth and Cas-
son streets, where the Mosley house
now stands.
The trains, in coming over the
bridge, will run down the grade out
20 the spot where the main line Joins
The Texas 4 Pacific track, and then
back in on the yard tracks to the
TWO depots.
After the first Of August the con-
Itruction train will be able to come
n from above and cross the Iron
Mountain bridge above the city and
un down to the Texas & Pacific
rack and over that track to the
ALLEYS own line now being construc-
ed in their yards. Then the work OF
