1 Nashville, Tenn, July 24.-An ex-
ira session of the Tennessee $legisla-
ture is considered possibility as a
result of recent stories to the effect
that a merger of the big Southern rail-
road systems was being contemplated,
in connection with the formation of
the Southern Securities company.
The movement to have the governor
convene the general assembly comes
from a party Of Nashville business
men, who express themselves Sas very
much in earnest in inaugurating . q
fight against the alleged merger. They
will at once petition Governor McMil-
lin, it is said, to institute Thorough
Of the rumors concern
ing the merger. If the reports are
found to be true every power Of the
state government will be used to
block the consolidation. rf+n
Ii. Among the remedies suggested Is
the repeal of the charters of the rail-
roads contemplating entering the con-
solidation, Another is to SO amend
charters as to forfeit the charter
rights upon entrance into a combina-
tion of the kind proposed. Still an
other is to enact prohibitory law
stringent enough to prevent the opera
ton of the merger without touching
the charters of the railroads.

engagements with the, enemy, more or
less serious, between Feb. 4, 1899, the
date of the battle Of Manila, and April

portion Of these fights were attacks
from ambush on the American troops,
or skirmishes in which only small de-
tachments took part.
: In almost no case in these engage
ments," says Major Parker. "did the
American troops surrender or have to
retreat: or have to leave their dead
and wounded in the possession of the
enemy, Notwithstanding that in many
cases the percentage of loss was
high"
The number of troops that have
been transported to the Philippine
islands and arrived there: up to July
16 last was 4,135 officers and 123,S03
men. The average strength, taken
from monthly returns for the period
