Atlanta, May 12.-This was a sort of
military day at the Capitol. The
state advisory board was in session all
day, or the greater part of it, and be-
tween times the officers here met for
the purpose of organizing state asso-
citation.
The advisory board had under con-
sideration the question of an encamp-
ment. There was one thing, however,
which prevented any definite conclu-
sion being reached There is some
doubt as to whether the Sal, 900 balance
due from the United States govern
ment is Immediately available Tor the
purposes of paying the expenses of an
encampment. In order to settle the
matter, Gov. Terrell wired to Washing
ton to-day and the answer was that
! no definite information on the point in
question could be given until to-mor-
! row. Several points in connection with
the encampment, however, have beeen
| settled. The troops will camp, each
regiment in it's own section at the most
convenient place, the Governors OBJ
| ject being economy. The largest en-
campment will, of course, be at Griffin,
that point being most convenient to
many of the commands.
Final conclusion with regard to the
encampment will not be reached until
| tomorrow, when the desired informa-
ton comes from Washington.

POLICE HAVE A CLUE.
They Are Now Looking for the In
fernaI Machine Man.


New York, May 12.-Much of the
mystery surrounding the placing of an
Internal machine on the pier of the
Cunard company was cleared up to-
day, and an arrest may be made at
any moment.
The police have learned that the box
was taken to the pier from a board
ing house in West Thirty-frst street,
known as the "Currie House." and
patronized principally by theatrical
folk. The police also know the name
of the man who sent the box from the
house, and have good description of
him. Who this man is, however, In
spector McCluskey declines to say, and
the proprietor of the establishment, on
being questioned by reporters regard
ing her boarder, would say nothing,
except that he engaged room about
week ago, that he had paid his rent,
and that his effects were still in the
house. To the police. it is said, she
has furnished full information.
When asked what the motive for
placing the internal machine on the
pier was, Inspector McCluskey con-
tented himself with the mysterious re-
ply that it was obvious"
The tracing of the box was brought
about by the voluntary statement of
Joseph Rooney. a Ninth avenue ex-
pressman, who went to the Cunard
pier to-day, accompanied by one of his
drivers, Peter Battle, who declared
himself to be the driver of the green
wagon which delivered the box con-
tanning the Internal machine at the
pier Rooney and Battle afterwards
went to police headquarters and made
a detailed statement.
Battle said that on Thursday after
noon he was aCcosted on his stand in
Ninth avenue by a man who asked
him to cart a box from the Currie
House to the Cunard pier. The man
paid him 25 cents, and he went to the
house, where a woman helped him TO
carry down the box from the second
floor. He then drove to the pier TAX
ing with him, for company, two fell
low expressmen, one of whom sat on
the box on the way.
After hearing the mems story, In
spector McCluskey was satisfied that
they were innocent of any completely In
the dynamite plot and dismissed them,
after getting a fun description of the
man who hired Battle to cart the box.
The man is described as being an
American, of medium height, with dark
hair tinged with grey, and we'll dress
ed in light clothing.
Detectives are keeping a watch on
the house tonight, evidently in the ex-
pectation that the man may return. He
has not been seen there since Satur-
day morning, the day on which the
box was discovered on the pier One
peculiar fact is that no one in the
house remembers having seen the box
brought in.
