Look Very FavorabIy Upon the
PrOpOsitiOn-SenatO ExtOIIed the
Location of Atlanta as Hcadquar-
tcrs for Such a Departme nt-ROme
Citizens Want the Seventh Gu
valry Ordered There ON a Prac-
tice March.
BY r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, April 20.-The revival of
the talk of the possible early re-estab-
lishment of the Military Department
of the Gulf is due to Senator Bacon's
representation to Secretary Root and
Adjutant General Corbin. While no
definite steps looking to this end have
yet been taken, it may be asserted
with confidence that both of these Of
fcials look very favorably upon the
proposition.
Senator Bacon called at the War
Department to present to Secretary of
War Root and Adjutant General Corbin
some inquiries relative to militia mat
tiers, which the Senator took up at
the request of Gov. Terrell. He has
had two interviews with the Secretary
of War about these matters and is
promised an early decision relative to
them. AS soon as this decision is
reached it will be forwarded to Sena-
tor Bacon and by him transmitted to
Gov. Terrell.
Among other things which the Sena-
tor discussed with these officials was
proposition to have the Seventh
United States Cavalry, which is sta
toned at Chickamauga Park, go to
Rome on one of it's practice marches.
The regiment will, it is understood,
engage in maneuvers of this kind in
the near future and the citizens of
Rome would like to have it or some
portion of it come to that city.
Col. J.. Lindsay Johnson of Rome
wrote Senator Bacon about the matter
some days ago. In discussing it with
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, Senator Bacon was
Informed that the matter would have
to be taken up with Gen. Chaffee, COM
mander of the Department of the East,
as the disposition of these troops is
under the department commander. This
suggestion gave Senator Bacon the OPP
portunity to again press upon the War
Department officials the wisdom of the
re-establishment of the Department of
the Gulf. In arguing the wisdom of
this move with Atlanta as department
headquarters, Senator Bacon showed
general Corbin that Atlanta's geograph-
ical position with reference to the rest
of the South. was much like that of
the base of a fan with the cities of the
South, from Richmond around to New
Orleans as the ends of the various ribs.
The illustration was so apt that Gen.
Corbin said he would have it laid off
on the map when the matter came up
for formal consideration.
War Department officials have al
ways considered it only a question of
time when the Department of the Gulf
would be re-established, with head
quarters at Atlanta. The redistribu-
ton of the departments has not. how
ever, yet, been taken up in any formal
way, but that it will be at some time
in the comparatively near future seems
certain.

Not Just Yet.

Paris, April 20-Relative to the re-

to marry on Wednesday a beautiful
young American widow, the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press received
the following in reply to a note of in
quiry:
Mr.. Vanderbilt begs to say that the
report is untrue"
1t is necessary before the marriage
of an American can occur here that
the United States consul certify to the
residence of one of the parties for six
months, and Consul General Gowdy
says no application to that effect has
been made by any of the parties mem
toned in the CURRENT report.
