TO FIGHT DOUBLE TRACK.
ThunderboIt Bluff Property Owners
stirred I'm.

A meeting of Thunderbolt blum prop
erty owners will be held at Ambo's s
place tomorrow night to protest
against the grant by the Thunderbolt
town Council of the right to the Sa-
vannah Electric Company to double
track its line along the bluff from the
Yacht Club to the Casino.
The franchise was granted by the
Mayor and Aldermen of Thunderbolt
last week, and the Street Railway Com
pany has already begun preparing to
double track west of the Yacht Club.
President Baldwin, it is understood,
agreed to so construct the track along
the bluff that the roadway would not
be interfered with for driving and,
Furthermore would protect the bluff
from caving and being washed away. .
A majority of the property owners,
and 1t is claimed by those opposed to
allowing the double track, the owners
of four-fifths of the property fronting
the bluff, are against the proposed i'm
provement, and the meeting tomorrow
night has been called for the purpose
of taking some legal action probably
by injunction to prevent the bluff be-
ing double-tracked

RECIPROCITY FOR CUBA.
Republicans willing to Allow Cuba
Twenty Per Cent. OF on Certain
Conditions.

Conditions.
Washington, Feb. 22-The Republi-
can members of the Ways and Means
Committee, who have been considering
the question of concessions to Cuba
at several meetings during the week,
finally reached an agreement this aft
ernoon which is considered a signal vic
tory for those who have favored tariff
concessions to that island. The ac-
ton taken was the adoption of the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the majority members of this com
mfttee (subject to the approval of the
Republican members of the House in
caucus assembled to be held as soon
as practicable) that the committee re-
port a bill in substance authorizing the
President to negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with the Cuban Republic, when
established, providing for the entry of
our products into Cuba upon such
terms as shall be deemed by him to
be advantageous to us; provided, how
ever, that such treaty shall secure for
our products going into Cuba duties
less than those allowed to other coun-
tries substantially equivalent to the
concessions made by us; that the con-
sideration upon our part for such
treaty shall be a concession of 20 per
cent. of our tariff duties upon imports,
the products of Cuba, upon this con-
dition; that Cuba shall first enact our
immigration laws"
By the terms of this resolution the
proposition agreed on by the Republi-
can members of the committee will be
submitted to a Republican caucus to
he held next Tuesday night This ac-
ton is practically the proposition sub
mitted few days ago by Representa-
tive Long of Kansas, except that the
amount of the concessions is cut in
half and the condition precedent-that
Cuba enact our immigration laws-is
added. The action by the committee
this afternoon was preceded by a con-
ference at the White House between
the President and Representatives
Grosvenor of Ohio; Russell of Con-
necticut, and Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
all of whom have heretofore stood out
against any form of reciprocity provis-
ions.
The action of the Republican mem
bers was unanimous.
