D0A RUSHING BUSINESS

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Feb. a.
The smuggling of Chinese from British
Columbia continues and a number have
been recently landed on the numerous is
lands between here and the British pos
sessions.
The approach of the fishing season has
caused a revival of Chinese smuggling,
and according to reports received here
they are being brought over in sloops, sail
ing from the British side at night, and If
the sloops fail to reach their destination
before daylight they run into some cove,
where they remain until darkness, when
they continue to their destination.
The revenue cutter Grant is to cruise
among the islands and to overhaul every
sloop and she has sailed for the purpose
of assisting the two revenue launches,
Scout and Guard, to stop the smuggling
of Chinese.

SUICIDE IN AUGUSTA
or SOUTH CAROL IMAM

AUGUSTA. Feb 14.-About midnight the
body of r. NJ. Bussey was found upon a
bed in a room at the corner of Broad and
Cumming streets. where furnished rooms
are let by George COchokes. a Greek. The
body was found upon the bed as natural
as IL asleep. though dead at least four
days when found. He was a stranger,
and only at the coroner's inquest this
morning was his identity established and
also that the death was suicidal.
About a week ago Bussey engaged the
room, and as the stairway leading to 1t Is
on the outside the proprietor had not
thought it strange to have seen nothing
of him. An empty laudanum bottle was
found beside the dead man. He had been
a soldier having served with a regiment
now in Cuba He had just re-enlisted and
had come home to Modoc, 5. c.. to spend
a furlough OF 30 days. which had only
about half expired. Some family trouble
is supposed to be the cause Of the rash
act.

10 the letter of Mr.. Martindale reading
the book caused him to buy land and set

try for nine years before deciding to be-
come an American citizen.
The following is a copy Of the letter:

Travelled and lived out in Canada, the
northern states and in some of the east

America and make myself a home, until
much against the advice of my friends,
I decided to try the south. the sunny
south. When / arrived in Georgia last
November / felt much attracted TO the

out my naturalization papers, buy some
land and make myself a home. Fearing
that all is not gold that glitters,' l de-
cided TO go wary and gather all the in

GOOD
FOR NEW
DEPOT
GOVERNOR GAMBLER CALLED A
MEETING OF DEPOT COMMITS
SION WEDNEsDAY-ALL
ROADS HEARD FROM.

Prospects OF new depot seem brighter
than ever before. Governor Gambler has
heard from all the railroads using the
present station, except the Atlanta and
West Point and as a result has called
meeting of the depot commission and
railroad authorities to be held in his office
next Wednesday morning, February ID.
He has wired the members Of the COM
mission and the railroad authorities to
meet here on that day The Central and
Southern railroad companies did not give
definite answer to the states PROPOSE
ton but asked for a conference with the
other railroads and the members of the
depot commission. The Nashville, Chat
tanooga and ST. Louis railroad and the
Georgia railroad have agreed to the
states terms, and the Seaboard Air Line
has announced that IL would do whatever
the N, c. and st. L. did.
Governor Gambler Thursday gave out the
following interview regarding the depot
situation:
Have heard from all the roads except
the Atlanta and West Point Some OF
them accept the states proposition, 9TH
ers want a conference with the state 8
commission to discuss the matter fully
and especially the details of the pro-
posed structure before committing them
selves.
"In compliance with the suggestion of
those desiring such a conference L have
called a meeting of the states represen-
tatives and the representatives of all
the roads entering in Atlanta In my
office at 10 o'clock a. m. on Wednesday
next, and have by wire and letter to
each requested him to attend the meet
ing.
while no written communication has
been received from the SeabOard, none
was expected or necessary, their legal
representative here. Hon. E. T. Brown
having at the outset informed me that
the Seaboard being the sub-tenant of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis,
would act I'm concert and harmony with
thena." ..
All the members of the depot commits
sion will be on hand next Wednesday, and
1t is believed that every railroad will have
a special representative here. Governor
Gambler seems well pleased with the an
swers which he has received from the
railroads, and is inclined to the opinion
that the states proposition about depot
Will be accepted.
The conference will be the first that has
been held between state officials and the
railroad representatives i'm over two years,
and IL is presumed that the railroads de-
sire to get more fully acquainted with
what the states plans are before giving
definite answers.

SAILS
THROUGH AIR
LIKE BIRD
LONGEST AERIAL TRIP, AS TO
TIME AND DISTANCE BOTH,
WAS SUCCESSFULLY MADE
AT MONTE CARLO.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Between showers
this afternoon NJ. Santos Dumont made a
fourth "Sortie" from his aerOdrome with
his air ship, cables the Monte Carol cor
respondent of the Herald.
At 2 o'clock the rain having ceased for
moment the aeronaut sailed away in
the direction of Cap Martin being pre-
coded by two boats from the Prince OF
MonacOs yacht, the Princess Alice, and
followed by a steam launch commanded
by the prince.
Half way between the aerodrome and
Cap Martin, the sky becoming cloudy and
the wind suddenly rising. the aeronaut
wheeled about and returned to the Port
D'Hercule where the occupants of the
steam launch were able to seize the guide
rope at 2:S5 o'clock and conduct the air
ship near the aerodrome.
The maneuvers then became very diff
cut Some of the suspension wires had
been broken and the prince had his arm
bruised by the guide rope which weighs
fifty kilagrammes, sweeping rapidly over
the stern of the steam launch.
When the airship was ten metres from
shore, the guide rope was passed from
the steam launch to a small boat and to
workmen on the jetty. This is the longest
trip NJ. Santos Dumont has accomplished,
both as to time and distance.
After the landing had been accomplished
the prince received NJ. Santos Dumont
and the Due De Dino on board his yacht
and arranged with the aeronaut various
plans for landing manuevers during the
next excurssVn.
The Due and Ducnese De Bassano and
Mademoiselle Marie De Bassano who
with the Empress Eugenie. had been
watching the operations from Cap Martin,
came to the aerodrome to present the
aeronaut with their Fluctuations and those
OF the empress.
Half an hour after the aeronaut's re-
turn to the aerodrome the wind became
violent, a heavy rain storm followed and
the sea became very rough.
