train at Boston this morning and 205

prince retired at once. There were no de-
lays anywhere en- route and the special

schedule arranged for it. There had been
very heavy fall Of snow in Massachu-
sets, but there was no drifts and the
tracks were clear. The prince arose at
1880 o'clock and was at breakfast when
his train entered the railroad yards at AL
bany. He wanted to leave the table at
once, but as the train was more than
twenty minutes ahead of time stop was
made in the yards, where he finished his
meal The prince was very tired when the
Boston reception came to an end, but he
seemed to be quite freshed when he arose
this morning.
Governor Odell was late in arriving,
through some misunderstanding as to the
time, and the prince and party waited
for him. He arrived about ten minutes
later and on behalf OF the state babe
the prince welcome.
Prince Henry and his escort reached the
capitol at $3.50 o'clock. They were met at
the eastern entrance by Adjutant General
Henry and escorted to the executive
chamber, where Governor Oden and his
staff received the royal visitor.
The sword presented by Frederick the
Great to George Washington had been
taken from the state library and placed
on a table in the executive chamber. 1t
was taken out for the prince to examine.
He said that it gave him extreme pleasure
TO see and handle II and that 1t should
ever be guarded as the gift OF one great
general to another.

CANDIDATE CHOSEN
BY ARBITRATION

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March S.-The
Republican candidate for circuit judge,
which has been the chief topic in Republi-
can political circles for some time and a
matter Of Importance to the entire section,
was settled at a late hour yesterday after
noon by arbitration.
The two candidates for the nomination
were Judge Lewis Shepherd, of this coun-
ty and Hon. Jesse Littleton, of Franklin
county. Both are very strong men and
their strength in very nearly equal. De-
string to avoid having convention it was
agreed by the two candidates that the
matter should be left to an arbitration
board of seven, to which each candidate
should select three members, and the
six should decide on the seventh. The six
men were in session two hours and could
rot decide on the seventh man. 1t was
finally agreed to add two more men. This
was done, but still no agreement could be
reached. Finally about o'clock the ninth
man was added, and a secret ballot gave
Mr.. Littleton five votes to Judge Shop
herds four. Mr.. Littleton was therefore
decided the Republican candidate for cir
cult judge. There will be no convention.
At the meeting of the executive commit
tee two week ago 1t was decided that there
should be no one named as a candidate for
the attorney generalship.
The warm fight has been watched by the
Republicans all over the state. At the
meeting Of the Republican executive COM
mittee at Nashville a few days ago, it
was agreed that the man that failed to
get this nomination should be placed on
the ticket as one of the Republican candi-
dates for supreme judge. This honor will
be conferred on Judge Shepherd.

CONGRESS is ANGRY
WITH THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, March 6.-President
Roosevelt is surely widening the gulf be-
tween himself and congress by his delay
in signing the permanent census bureau
bill Today the indignation of Republican
and Democratic members alike broke out
into words and in several parts OF the
Hhouse after adjournment warm express
sions of feeling were heard.
1t is charged that the president is with
holding his signature until Director Mer-
Ram can fire out nearly all the present
force of $500 employed in the bureau
Then the new force Of 600 or more must
come in through the civil service door, the
presidents pet hobby.
A clause in the bill provides government
employment for the present force, If 1t is
signed before they are all fired out by
Merriam. So that the president, by with
holding hts signature deals blow at the
employees who were put In by congress-
men of both parties.
1t is declared by many members that the
bill never would have passed the house
had il not been for the clause which seeks
to save the present force, and since 1t Is
rendered ineffective by the presidents
delay they are angry.

LIFE CONVICT A BURDEN ON
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

JACKSON, Miss, March S.-The board
OF control and penitentiary officials have
a prisoner on their hands who is in every
way different from the prisoners who
have been brought in during the past to
make their home inside the walls Of the
prison.
Last night the travelling sergeant
brought down from Tunica county, a
prisoner by the name OF John Pettijohn,
who was sent up by the recent term OF
circuit court for life, upon the charge OF
murder. and John is in a bad fix.
He Is paralyzed in both OF his legs, so
that he cannot walk. OF use them I'm any
way. and must be wheeled about, and he
is so crippled from rheumatism in both
OF his arms that he has lost complete use
Of his upper limbs, and is all together in
a bad fix and a drag on the board, for
the negro must be taken care of and ii
takes one man 10 look after his needs.
For temporary treatment the prisoner
was taken to Oakley farm, where he will
be placed in the hospital of that place and
given medical treatment, in an effort to
restore life TO the withered limbs. John
is life time prisoner. and IL he is not
cured Il will be necessary for the prison
officials TO nurse him the rest of his days.
John is the only prisoner Of this char
acter, in such a helpless condition that
has ever been brought to the walls and
made to don the stripes Of a convict.

SPANISH TREATY CLAIMS COM
MITTEE HANDS DOWN AN
ADVERSE DECISION.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Spanish
treaty claims commission today handed
down a decision against the claimants for
deaths and injuries received by officers
and seamen in the wreck of the battleship
Maine, in Havana harbor.
The commission holds that individual
claims Of citizens Of one nation may arise
against the government of another nation
for redress Of iajuries to persons or prop
erty which such citizens may have sus-
tanned from such government or any Of ats
agents But such individual claims do
not arise in favor OF the officers and sea-
men OF a ship of war, who receive. in the
line of duty, injuries to their persons for
which a foreign government is respon-
sible.
THE claim against the foreign govern
ment is wholly national, and all injuries
to such oficerssand seamen are merged in
the national injury, and they can look only
TO their own government for such remun-
GRAFTON as it may choose TO give them.
a seaman injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battleship Maine in
the harbor Of Havana. Cuba, on February
IS. 1855 had no individual claim against
Spain. even II that government was re-
sponsible for the explosion, and therefore
such seamen is not entitled to an award

claims commission organized by the act
Of congress of March 2, 1901, to adjudicate
all Individual claims of citizens of the
United States against Spain which the
United States released to Spain and added

l, 1855.
The claims so far filed with the COM
mission which viii be affected by this de-
cision amount TO about s2.500,0o0, which
probably would have been increased to

HUNTING SEASON
CLOSES NEXT
SATURDAY
UNDER GEORGIA LAW NO PAR
TRIDGES CAN BE KILLED OR
TRAPPED AFTER THE -
az 18TH OF MARCH. 10y

The hunting season in Georgia closes
next Saturday night. March 18th is the
last day allowed by the state laws for the
hunting of partridges. 1t is expected that
the huntsmen will get busy during next
week and slay as many birds as possible,
for If people hunt after that time they are
liable to prosecution in the state courts.
The season has been a very successful
one. There has been less of pot hunting"
than ever before, and the sportsmen are
highly delighted. Farmers who own lands
are coming to the aid of the sportsmen
and it is a rare thing for any Of them
to permit pot hunting"
The judges and solicitors in Georgia viii
keep on the alert after the hunting season
is over, and will prosecute to the limit OF
the law all people who are caught hunting.

TECH BOYS REINSTATED
BY THE FACULTY

James Anthony, Alex windsor and Ed
ward Cline, three Tech students who
painted the college steeple several nights
ago, and who were suspended for their
daring feat, were reinstated by the Tech
faculty Friday afternoon. The young
men made an explanation Of the affair,
saying they had no intention of defying
the school authorities, but did the paint
ing merely to excel the other classes
This explanation seemed acceptable to the
faculty members after they consulted
about the matter for a few minutes, as
1t was decided to reinstate the young
men at once, and today they VIII return
to the school as full-hedged students.
When the decision of the faculty was
learned the whole student body con-
graduated the three students. 1t had
been feared the faculty would expel thei
painters, and there had been CONSIDERABLE
talk regarding the matter. Anthony,
Windsor and Cline who did the painting
agreed TO pay for the cost Of removing
the stains of their work. but 1t Is not
thought that the faculty will accept their
proposition. The feat was such a daring
one, and required so much skin. that even
the members OF the faculty had to admire
the pluck Of the youngsters. The faculty
is being praised for its action by prom
fnent Atlantians, and the members are
being complimented on the wise manner
in which they disposed Of the matter.
The main charge against the students
was being out Of quarters after night.

bred clerks now in the bureau should, up

members of the conference committee, and
directed them to put a section in the Dill
providing that only such clerks as are IN
the census office July 1st shall go into the

The clause was inserted. Then Hopkins

IN AMERICA
IDEAL ARMY
TROOPS OF THE KING WILL BE
PUT ON SAME BASIS AS ARE
THE SOLDIERS OF UN-
GLE SAM.

LONDON, March S.-The new army reg
ulations proposed by the war secretary,
Mr.. Broderick. providing for increased
pay and other reforms which have Great
ed so much comment. appear to have been
directly copied from the United states.
Major Arthur Lee. Mp. formerly British
military attache at Washington, said TO a
representative of the Associated Press:
AT last we have taken out leaf from
your excellent book. though I do not be-
lieve we have gone quite so far In that
direction as we might, or hope we may.
Under Mr.. Broderick's proposed changes,
a private in the British infantry now re-
ceives almost as much as private in the
United States army. With this change,
which 1 frequently advocated while mill
tary attache at Washington. we hope to
get a class OF recruits similar to those Sc
cured IN America. N
Under the old pay we were gradually
lowering the physical standard. yet still
finding it hard to get men, while our de-
serting percentage was increasing at a
rate which showed there was something
radically wrong with the system. The Am
erican army was the only other voluntar-
lily enlisted body in the world with which
we could make serviceable comparisons,
the continental armies, owing to conscrip-
ton and other causes being\ perfectly
worthless as examples. A year ago Mr..
ing the United States.
Now he has changed his mind and has
done what the majority of the members OF
the house, regardless Of party, believe to
be the very best thing that could have
happened to the army since Mr.. Cardwell
Qn 1872 effected his sweeping reforms.
For the first time Tommy with higher
pay will be in better position than his ag-
ricultural brothers, and from that class
we ought now to get the best instead Of
the worst Yes, ii may hurt the agricul-
tural interests or what is left of 1t in Eng
land. but do not believe that this dam
age will be as serious as the evils which
the change viii correct. Not only is 1t
pleasing to note the influence of the Amer
lean system in these sweeping changes,
but they will have a tremendous negative
Importance. Lastly, the government clear
~ indicated fears that ii might have to
resort to CONSUMPTION.
THE present move banishes all POSSIBLE
ity of this, for / understand Mr.. Brod-
rick is willing to go even farther in copy
ing the United States in treatment of en-
listed men, and by liberal finance build up
the standard Of the army. The increase in
pay means an additional annual cost of
about $4,000 900, but maintain that 1t
viii be a direct saving OF money for the
better class Of men secured viii mean
fewer men in the hospitals and prisons, as
we'll as obviating other forms of wastage,
and will quickly make up for the addition
al outlay Some day, perhaps, we. may be
able TO adopt the sensible plan of the
United States of paying the enlisted men
of all arms at the same rate. But tradi-
lions here die hard"
