BRYAN is
HANDS OFF.
WILL TAKE NO PART IN THE
RACE FOR CHAIRMAN OF CON
GRESsIONAL COMMITTEE.

Washington. March 17-Mr. Bryan's
arrival in Washington, in connection
with the presence in the city OF Sen
ator German, led to some talk about
his being particularly interested in
the matter of the Craftsmanship Of the
congressional campaign committee.
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, who
is urging Senator German to take the
place. discussed the subject with Mr.
Bryan, but Mr., Bryan made it clear
that he could take no hand in mat
ter Of this kind. which was for the
democrats Of the committee to de-
eide.
There does not seem much proba
bility Of Senator German taking the
place. Judge Griggs said this morn
ing that if German would take it he
would be glad, as he is only allowing
his name to be used on the solicita-
ton of his friends and not from any
desire to assume the responsibilities
of the place. He himself has been
trying to get Mr. Rupert, Of New
York to take the chairmanship, but
the New York congressman is strong
ly for GIiggs Rupert is himself a
millionaire ami is expected to be a
strong factor in securing contribu-
tions He told Judge Griggs friends
today that he could and would do more
If Griggs is chairman than he would
if he held the position himself.
The majority Of the members Of the
committee are for Griggs as things
stand now, ana the conditions point to
his election at tomorrows meeting
unless ne and others are able TO in
duce Senator German to take it.

HEAVY RAINS NEAR ALBANY.
Many Dwellings Waterbound by Fast
Rising Flint River.

Albany, Ga, March 17.-During yes
terday, last night and today tremend-
Gus rains have fallen in this immedi-
ate section, and adyices from a radius
Of 80 miles show that the deluge has
attended that far.
Some idea OF the extent Of the floods
can be gathered from the fact that
Flint river has been rising at this
point at the rate of a foot per hour
since 10 o'clock this morning. TINS
IS the most rapid rise of the stream
ever recorded here.
This monring many dwellings in the
city were waterbound, the surface
sewers not being large enough to car
~ off the water as fast as it fell.
More than 6 inches Of rain fell with
in a period Of twelve hours.

ALREADY ASKED
FOR THE CHARTER
BRUNWICK STEEL AND IRON
COMPANY SOON TO BEGIN
BUSINESS.
CHARTER COVERS SEVERAL DIFF.
FERENT INDUSTRIES AND 1T
MEANS A GRET DEAL.

The organization of The Brunswick
Steel and Iron Company. the petition
for Incorporation of which is published
on the third page, will have
great effect on Brunswck's s
commercial development. The in
lcorporators are all well known bust
ness men, and the TACT that these gen
tlemen have determined to actively
interest themselves in the stablish-
ment of a steel and iron and ship build
| ing plant, means that the enterprise
will be a success. Col. Machen has
always taken the position that Bruins
wick is the proper place for the loca-
tion of such plant, and states that
he will have no difficulty in interesting
northern capitalists in the enterprise
In fact, large proportion OF the stocK
subscription has been arranged, while
.he amount Of capital STOCK necessary
to be subscribed in order to effect or
ganlzatlon is only S25 600. 1t is the
purpose of the incor0raI0rs to at once
largely increase the capital.
Brunswick offers many advantages
for the location of a steel mill and
dry docks, and marine railway, by rea-
son Of low freight rates, and the nee
essary timber in adjacent territory.
These facts were clearly shown in
the paper prepared for the Maritime
congress by Mr.. G. Don Parker and
Judge S. c. Atkinson, and which ellie
tied such high praise from Mr.. Harold
Sewell who was one of the delegates
to the congress-. 1t is the purpose of
the company to engage at first espec-
tally IN the re-rolling of steel rails.
which have been used for number
of years. The ship building plant and
marine railway will, however be ad-
dcd in few months afterwards
