Americans to Build q Railway In
 Europe With American Material.
 NEW YORK, April 23.--A party of engineers who will construct this sum- mer the first American built railway in Europe has sailed for Bremen. After it's completion it will be used to ship large quantities of iron from the Nor wegian iron mines. The engineers are ex-State Engineer c. w. Adams, his son, Arthur Adams; c. A. Poole and Arthur O'Rrien
 On reaching Bremen they will meet Henschel Roberts, ex-deputy state en- gineer, who has charge of the building of the new railroad, and will accompa- ny him to Mo, on the west coast of Norway, 300 miles north of Christi ania, where the mouth of a rock walled ford will be made into a great harbor From the docks there the new railway will run to the orefields, eighteen miles away.
 The Gillison Ore Milling syndicate of London is the packer of the scheme. A director of the corporation is Thom- as A. Edison, through whose influence the engineers mentioned received the award of the work These engineers built Dr. ". Seward Webb's Adiron- dacks railway through the North woods wilderness in one summer.
 In the Norwegian enterprise 5000 la- borers will be employed this summer. Most of the materials used in the con- struction of the road will come from this country. and the rolling stock will be of American manufacture. 1t is estimated that the total cost of the road and harbor will exceed $1, 1000, 900.

Summer is here with jump. Va cation time is on. Tired humanity is ready for vacation. Maybe you will go on a long trip, perhaps only on a short excursion. When it comes to the preparations you will find you need a Trunk or Dress Case, or Hand Satchel to carry your belongings. You can get it here; strong, durable, all sizes, and prices that will surprise you. Save money by buying this week. A good suggestion as to the best method of keeping an Umbrella. An Umbrella not worth keeping is not worth buying. We keep the Umbrella worth buying. We have the best Umbrellas of our own make from 2Sc up to $15.00.

That Philippine investigation turns out something disagreeable for the administration right along. Reput- able witnesses have testified that the half has not been told of inhuman cruelties inflicted upon the natives by men wearing the American uniform. Public sentiment against the republl- can Philippine policy is daily increas- ing, although the administration still refuses to see it.

 ARDMORE, I. T., April 23.-Ex- Gov ernor William Byrd of Stonewall has been nominated by the Progressive In dian party for governor of the Chicka- saw Nation.

The Great Merger Combine to Have
 a Capital of $17O,OOO,OOO.
 NEW YORK, April 23.-The transat- lantic steamship combination formed by J. P Morgan will have a capital of $17O,0O ,000, of which $60,O00,0 ,000 will be per cent cumulative preferred stock, $6O,00O,0OO common stock and $50 100000 Az per cent debentures.
 The underwriting syndicate has sub- scribed $50,000, ,O0O, 40 per cent of which was placed abroad and the re mainder here. As yet the company has barely gone beyond the organization stage. The corporate title is still unde- termined
 AS announced last week, the combina- tion will have an American charter, but those in authority decline to make known at this time the state in which the company will be incorporated.
 1t is authoritatively stated that a working arrangement" has been made with the German lines-North German Lloyd and Hamburg gAmerican-as a result of which the relations between the new combination and the German companies promise to be altogether har- monious.
 Clement A. Griscom, president of the International Navigation company, has had another conference with MT. Mor- gan's partners. He had nothing to say for publication other than that the pre- liminary details of the steamship con- solidation were being perfected with little delay.

LODGE CANNOT MEET TONIGHT.
Installation Exercises are Postponed
One Week.

The ceremony of instituting the
Americus Lodge of EIks, which was to
have taken place tonight, will have to
be deferred for a time, much to thu
disappointment of tbs young fawns
here as we'll as the elder elks, who
were coming to afix their horns.
The occasion has been postponed
until next Wednesday night.
The absence from the city of several
who proposed joining the new lodge,
with the inability of the ''moveants"
in the enterprise to get ready in time,
necessitates the postponement
The Macon Lodge of Elks and the
Albany Lodge proposed sending a
delegation each to see to it that the
fawns in Americas were properly cared
for in this initial proceeding, and the
occasion was to have been, and will
yet be, one of very great interest,
Macon will send delegation of fifty
or sixty full grown elks with antlers,
while Albany will send half as many
more, and great time is expected
when the Americus lodge is installed
week hence,

FARMERS ARE HAULING G UANO
a Hundred Wagon Loads Carried
Away yesterday.

The streets were again crowded yes
terday with teams hauling guano, and
certainly not less than hundred wag-
ons, thus loaded, went out of Ameri-
Gus. Yet, the total amount sold to
date is smaller than last season. Com
missioner Stevens says that thus far
the sale of fertilizers is $4,000 tons
short of last years sales. The num-
Der of tons sold is estimated by the
number of guano tags and in this way
a pretty accurate estimate can always
be arrived at. All of which goes to
show that for once the farmers of
Georgia seem determined to reduce
the cotton acreage.
