SOUTHERN MAY
PURCHASE PLANT
RUMoR THAT THE TWO ROADS
WILL GO TOGETHER REVIVED
IN SAVANNAH.

The Savannah Press of yesterday
says
The rumor that the Southern rail
way is to come into possession of the
Plant System before a great while has
been revived in Savannah. The re-
port was talked ABOUT considerably in
the city this morning There is con
siderable activity among some of the
departments Of the Plant System here,
particularly in the auditing depart
ment, and it is said that some import
ant statements are being prepared.
No confirmation of the rumor could
be secured here today. President Er-
win will probably be in Savannah next
week, when he is coming to attend
meeting of the stockholders of the Sa-
yannah, Florida, and Western railway.
and he may have something to give
out at that time. The settlement of
the Plant estate will probably have
some decided effect upon the railroad
property, but it is not known now
just what it viii be. Mr.. Morton r.
Plant, it is said, is not desirous Of
continuing a3tively in the railroad
business. He is vice president of the
system.

INTERNAL WAR IN SPAIN:
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED
SENTENCED TO DEATH;
HE MAY BE INNOCENT.
Condemned Murderer Exonerates an
Alleged AccompIice.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb 20.-James
Lynch, prisoner under sentence of
death in the state penitentiary, has
made an affidavit to the effect that l..
e. King, also under death sentence,
had absolutely nothing to do with the
attempted hold up of a gambling house
in this city in September, 1900, when
George Prouse was shot and killed and
for which crime Lynch and King were
convicted.
Lynch was captured during the at
tempted hold up and King was arrest
ed few days later on suspicion of be-
ing connected with the affair. RE
has steadily maintained his innocence,
and, being an Italian subject. recently
enlisted the aid Of the Italian ambas-
sador at Washington to assist in Sc
curing his release.
An affidavit was secured by Kings
attorneys after receiving another afi-
davit from Colorado to the effect that
a convict named John Strange, in the
Canon City penitentiayy had con
fessed that he and not King was
Lynch's companion during the at
tempted hold up.

DEPOT SITE TOO SMALL.

Atlanta. Feb. 20.--The depot com
mission has met and adjourned AMI
the erection Of union station on the
states property is as much in doubt as
ever.
President Spencer of the Southern

Hanson takes the same view. Presi-
dent Thomas Of the Nashville, Chat
tanood and St Louis, thinks the site
is laItsZ enough.
The following resolution which was
adopted, embraces the result Of the
deliberations:
Resolved, That the committee, in
order to meet the objections of the
railroad authorities this day made, EN-
ploy an architect or civil engineer of
national reputation to examine the
states depot property in Atlanta, an
to prepare ground plans, including
plans for tracks, etc, for the erection

site and in his work under the super
vision of this committee the railroad
authorities and their engineers be
invited to consult with said engineer
to the completion of a plan that will
and to make any suggestions looking
meet with the wishes and needs of all
parties concerned"
During the meeting, when President
Spencer was pressed with question,
he said:
II you insist on my giving an an
ser to question which you have not
yourselves inyestiated can do so and
put the matter at rest at once, If the
proposition had come from any other
source than the state of Georgia 1t
would not have been considered"
President Spencer says ne open to
conviction, but as he knows as much
about the situation now as he can
know after the engineer makes his
plans it is very doubtful If his opinion
will undergo a change.

A FIGHT TO

FACT THAT ATTORNEY GENERAL

And the Syndicate Announces That a
Bitter Fight to the End VIII
Re Made.

New York, Feb. 2O.-The bankers
Of this city identified with the forlna-
tion Of the Northern Securities Com
pany are greatly distressed to learn,
and at frst refused to believe, that
Attorney General Knox is preparing
case against the company. They
pointed out that the decision on

1t is stated to be the intention Of both
the Hill Morgan and Kuhn, Leob-Har-

out to the end.
The decision OF the administration
to test the legality Of the Northern Sc
curities Company came upon the stock
market this morning with shock.
The weakening of the market was al
ready manifest in the American de-
partment Of the London market before
the opening here. The New York
stock market opened in a semi-de-
nroralized condition. Very large blocks
Of stocks were unloaded in all direc-
tons at acute declines.
Naturally the stocks OF the trans
continental railroads, as being imme
diateIy Interested. were most affected
but large losses were shown in other
stocks where speculation for gise had
been extended, the coalers, high priced
industrials, and local fractions ali
showing sharp losses. Great Northern

The sensational furry in the stock
market proved how disagreeable a
surprise President Roosevelt had given
the speculative world by the instruc-
tions to Attorney Geneal Knox to be

the Northern Securities Company.
Stocks Of the transcontinental rail
ways bore the chief brunt on unload
ing, as they we're the most immedi-
ately concerned in the project repre-
sented by the formation OF the com
pany The weakness is by no means
confined to this group There were
wide decreases in value among the
Southwesterns and III Reading, as
well as in the highpriced industrials
like Sugar and Tennessee Coal. and
the local transactions was fair in
dication how confident a hope has
been cherished that the supreme court
next Monday would dispose Of the
Northern Securities uncertainty and
relieve the stock market from that
Oppressive influence. Generally speak
ing first prices were the lowest, sup

TO TAKE souNDINcs.
Tug Titus Soon to Start on a Long
Voyage.


New York, Feb. 2O.-To take
soundings in the Pacific ocean from
near San Francisco to the Hawaiian
islands, thence to the I.adrones, and
from there to the Philippines, for lne
projected Pacific cable The Titus a
l2O-ton sea going tug, will leave New
York within a few days. Stops
probably will be made at Valparaiso
and Panama.
One OF the governments most trust
ed transport captains, who has
knowledge OF the soundings and math-
edatics, has just arrived here from
the Philippines for the purpose of
taking the Titus out.
He expects to begin taking sound
ings about the end of April and to
complete this task by the end of May.
For ascertaining depths new
device will oe used. 1t is a large iron
cylinder, topped by a cone, containing
air, and is hermetically sealed, except
when the cylinder is immersed. Then
water, flowing into the cylinder ane
through tube, has access to the cone
containing the air.
Working on the principles of hy-
drauics and gravitation, it is possible
to drop the cylinder to a reasonable
depth and the pressure is indicated ON
dial attached to the cone. When
the cylinder is drawn up, by taking the
pressure and the depth, and making
the proper computations. the total
depth to the sea at that point is de-
termined
Soundings will be taken every half
hour with the tug going at speed Of
about six miles an hour. 1t is not ex-
pected that depth greater than 5000
feet will be found on the course

Chicago Feb. 2O.-The Tribune
prints the following special from
Washington:
1T has been understood here from
the outset that the terms Of the Brit
ish-Japanese agreement to preserve
the integrity of China was submitted
in advance to President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay and approved by them
Following out the traditional pol
icy, however, of avoiding entangling
alliances, the United States positive
ly declined to become a party to any
actual agreement concerning China
When Lord Cranborne. in the Brit
ish parliament last week, declared
there was no doubt the Britsh-Japan-
ese agreement would command the
full approval of the United States. he
spoke by authority
The agreement between Great Brit
ain and Japan was dated Jan. 80.
There is, therefore, deep significance
that on Feb. 1, two days after the
treaty was signed this country sent
to Russia a note practically adopting
the principle of the treaty as the pol
icy of the United States. The agree
ment between Great Britain and Japan
is largely military one and provides
for joint use of forces in case of
hostilites.
Stands by England.
Secretary Hays letter, of course,
could not go to that extent, but the
substance of it as telegraphed leaves
no doubt that Russia has been notified
OF the fact in strong diplomatic Ian
guage that the moral support Of the
unitea States Is with Great Britain
and Japan and that this country win
necessarily resent any failure on the
IN
part OF Russia to reueem the pledge

Apparently Secretary Hay waited
until after the British-Japanese treatv
was made public, so that the note Of
the United States might have ali the
weight OF an Endorsement of that
treaty.
