WANT SUB-TREASURY.
Both Atlanta and Savannah Making Fight
tBy Associated Prcss.)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March IA
committee from the Atlanta Clearing
House Association, composed of James
w. English, Robert G. Lowry, Robert T..
Maddox and Thomas c. Irwin, called on
the President to-day in connection with
an effort to establish at Atlanta q sub
treasury.
Before go!,s TO the White House they
had an interview with Secretary Spauld-
Jig. Savannah, Cd. is also making an
effort to secure the sub-treasury and it
is quite. probable that both cities will be
designated. The contest is likely to be-
come spirited.
Although a designation of a ub-treas-
ury city is wholly in the hands Of Con-
gress, the treasury officials recognize the
fact that the claims of the Southeastern
section of the country are wel-founded,
and they will at once set about gather
ing statistics with a view to recon-
mending to Congress the establishment
OF a sub-treasury in the city most en-
titled to it.
1t is learned that at this time the Off
Gals favor Atlanta.

THE CAPE CHARLES EXTENSION.
Annexation Scheme that Crsatcs Much Feel.

'special pisDetch to The Tilncs !


CAPE CHARLES. VA, March 24-For
the past three months there has been
considerable interest manifested in the
move for the extension OF the corporate
limits OF Cape Charles, SO to take
in the terminal property of the New
York. Philapelphia and Norfolk Railroad,
and the wharf front property OF the
Scottc estate. AS there are no inhabitants
living in the territory which the town
proposes to annex, the principal argu-
ments used in favor Of the annexation is
To obtain an outlet to the water front
and TO reduce the tax rate, by charging
the assessble basis OF the town property.
The railroad property, which includes
also the rolling stock and floating prop
erty and the Scotte. property is at pres
cnt assessed at something over three hun
dred thousand dollars, and pays a road
and school tax to Capevilic Magisterial
District. hence the proposition to take
this property out of the district and place
IT within the jurisdiction of the town,
did not set Very well with he people or
the district as they would then lose their
road and school tax on that portion Of the
property annexed TO the town.
TO counterfeit the move, a large dele
cation from the district went to Rich
mead to be heard before the committee
In opposition 10 the bill. To overcome
that opposition of the district the town
proposes to give back TO the county juris-
diction over the streets and schools OF
The town, which will allow the county
TO levy a school and road tax on the en-
tire property of the town, and 10 take
care OF the schools and streets of the
town the same as they did before the
town was Incorporated. The bill has SO
far reached the Senate, and carries with
