lima, surveyed for seventy-four miles,

latter properties, however, woro never

time to time that eventually the through

Of late years the Blue Ridge Railroad
has figured extensively in railroad
rumors, and it was limited that the line
was being sought bys mpany which
contemplated building from Port Royal
to Knoxville, the Boone Railroad, as it
was moro commonly known. For tho
past few years the Blue Ridge has boon

LEGISLATURE TO QUIT
LATTER PART OF APRIL

Springfield, March 26.-The legis-
lature, from all present indications,
will adjourn the latter part of April.
Following republican house caucus
today or tomorrow a resolution for
the sine die adjournment, placing
the date as April 26, will be passed
by the house and sent to the senate.
The senate will amend it, making the
date April 80. In this shape it will
be returned to the house, the amend
ment will be concurred in and the
resolution will be hung up on a mo-
tion to reconsider. This is the pro-
gram as outlined by Speaker Sherman
and the resolution steering committee
of the house. The apportionments are
in no better shape than they were a
week ago. The four arbitrators, who
were to select q fifth man, and in
company with the fifth man adjust
the difficulties in the senatorial bill,
have not met. One member is dis
inclined to serve at al and the fifth
man has not been chosen.
Still the consensus of opinion is
that the bills will both fail.

Secretary Root that in hfs opinion the
Cubans would accept the Platt amend
ment. General Miles was particularly
impressed with the fine condition OF
the batteries in the forts around Ha-
vana. On Thursday last by special
request General Miles attended seS-
sion of the Cuban convention and ad-
dressed the delegates at some length,
saying in part:
Il have no reason to doubt that the
attitude of our government toward the
people of other countries who have
been struggling for liberty will con-
tinue to be maintained and that the
hope of Washington. who believed thai
the United States had framed a CON
stitution so liberal and so just that
if administered with wisdom and in
tegrity it would in time be commended
to the peoples of other countries then
strangers to it, still animates today
the grea heart OF the American people
towards the infant republic of Cuba.
Il trust that you will have patience
in the consideration of the important
subjects now before you. and that you
will be directed in course that may
promote the best interests of your
selves and your pOsterity. We all
know that the strongest bond and
guaranty that you can give TO the pe0-
pie and government of the United
States is the gratitude that YOU have
manifested in the past, and earnest
and lasting friendship towards the
government of the United States.

DINGwALL WILL RECOVER

New York. March 2c-The con-

shot in PabSt's restaurant last Friday

reported last night in Roosevelt hos

in charge say that no disquieting
change has come over the case and
although the bullet has not been eX-
tracted yet. all symptoms point to
rapid recovery.
There has been little change in the
condition of Il. H. MoultOn. who shot
Dingwall. With his physical system
shattered almost beyond hope by the
use of morphine and kindred eXcesses,
he lies in a semi-cOmatose state in the

met will the doctors be ready to give

insane mt present and it is impossible
to predict what steps will be taken
by justice until some improvement
arises in his condition
