Atlanta, Ca, August 20.-As a result
Of nearly two months work by the Sc
cret service department, four men were
arrested here last night and today
charged with making and uttering
counterfeit ten dollar bills of the "Buf-
falo" pattern; the plates from which
the bills were printed were surrendered
and about $4,000 of the bills were re-
covered.
The men under arrest are Oscar L.
MdMichael, a pressman in the local es-
tablishment of the LaHatte Printing
Company, Clarence w. Rebb, a printer
employed by the same firm: J. T. Little
an artisan who lives near this city and
p. S. Coffey. formerly postmaster at
Need, a small town in Upsen county,
where he was arrested late today. There
is still one man to be arrested, and
it is believed that he lives in ST. Louis.

rested and taken to the office of United
States Inspector James n. Wright late
yesterday. He thre confessed his
guilt and his informal ton led to the
arrest of the others.
From them il was learned where the
money that had not been passed had
been hid and officers recovered $4,000
in cigar box in the La1atte Printing
shop, $4,000 at Little's house. about
$4,000 in an alley in the center of the
city, beside smaller sums that were
found on the men themselves. The
bills, it is reported, are fairly good,
sufficiently so to have been accepted
by number <of business houses, in
Guiding one bank in this city. All the
men were brought here today and ad-
mitted their guilt.
The inspector in a statement this af-
ternoon said that Little and Coffey
met an engraver. who is believed to
have lived here, but who now has
moved to st. Louis. From him they
bought the plates for $500, each paying
one-half. Four plates were used, one
for front of the bill. one for the back,
one for printing the numbers and the
fourth for printing the SEAL
The capture is regarded as one. of

many years in this department of the

peared somewhere in the papers, and
it must have found the judges eye.

CONDITION OF THE SEABoARD.
John Shelton Williams Interviewed on
Physical and Financial Status.

Baltimore August 20.-John Skel-
ton Williams of Richmond, Va, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Seaboard Air Line. who was in this
city today, was interviewed concern
ing the physical and financial condi-
ton of the company: He said in parr:
THE gross earnings of the Sea-
board Air Line system for the twelve
months ended June 30th, 1904. eM-
ceeded s13,30O,0OO. The surplus earr-
ings. after the payment of operating 3
expenses. taxes and fixed charges, In
Guiding interest on bonds, interest on
car trusts and rentals, amounted to
S5O0,00O.
From this balance, however. is to
be deducted other interests and COM
dicates and TO syndicate managers,
which are not properly chargeabie
under the head of regular fixed
charges
1.-The company has shown this sur.
plus Overland above regular fixed
charges, Notwithstanding the fact it
was operated during the past twelve
months at a higher ratio of expense
(over rs per cent? than any other
railroad of equal size in the United
States as far as 1 have been able to
observe.
The statement sent out from New
York last night that the Seaboard
Air Line railway has made arrange
mentS to borrow between seven and
eight hundred thousand dollars is mis-
leading. The resolution of the board
of directors referred to was a general
authorization to the treasurer in the
event that he should require funds, to
make temporary loans threfor, but it
is by no means certain that it will be
necessary for him TO make any such
loans. The cash which the company
has on hand at the present time and
the cash coming into it within the next
ninety days from the first Atlanta and
Birmingham bond syndicate amount to
about one million, five hundred thou
sand dollars, exclusive of all other re-
ceipts of The company. The Seaboard
Air Line railway has loaned large
sums of money to the Atlanta and
Birmingham road for construction
purposes, in advance of the issuance OF
the first mortgage bonds on that prop
erty, and as the track is laid and
completed, these bonds are being de-
livered to the Atlanta and Birming-
ham bond syndicate and paid for.
Exclusive of car trusts, neither the
Seaboard Air Line railway nor any of
its constituent companiesh have any
notes or bills payable outstanding OF
any kind, except for certain deferred
payments on real estate due during the
next three or four years, amounting in
the aggregate to less than one hundred

NEEDS MORE CAPITAL.
An Additional Fund of $500, 900 Ad-
visable for the Prosperous Operation
OF the American Cotton Company's
Business.

New York, August 20.-William Nell

ganization committee OF the American
Cotton Company, made today a state
ment. which says in part:
The American Cotton Company be-
gan operations in 1898. upon the intro.

cess for baling the staple product of the
South: over $4,000. 900 has been invest

rope, it being protected by patents
both at home and abroad. The COM

Chicago, and in nine southern cities
owns eighty-three different plants, and
also leases out presses at 2f5 other
points. Agencies for the sale OF the
product in the United States. France.
England, Italy and Russia are estab-
lished. It's business last year amounted
to over Sic. 900.
In establishing this large organiza-
ton, and accomplishing these results.
the working capital has been consumed:
no mortgage lien, however, exists on
any of the property. An additional
working capital fund OF $1,5oO. 900 is
considered by the management ad-
visable for the effective and
prosperous operation of business
and to provide this fund adjust
ment of the capitalization Of the COM
pany has become necessary. Accord
ingiy an organization committee. con-
sisting of Cornelius n. Bliss, A ID. JUL

JAPAESE APTITUDE ON CHINESE
NEUTRALITY.

Toxic. August 2O.-6 p. m.-The Japa-
nese government-today gave 10 the
Associated Press q statement defining
its attitude in the capture of the Ryes-
chitni and declaring its position on the
entire question of Chinese neutrality,
which says:
The Japanese government held tnat
China's neutrality is imperfect and ap-
z,ucable only to those places which are
not occupied by armed forces of either
beIligerent, and Russia cannot escape
conseouences of an unsuccessful war bJ'
moving its army or navy into those
portions of China which. by arrange
ment. had been made condftionally neu-
trail. a Russian warship from Port Ar
thur sought in the harbor of Che Foo
asyIum from attack which her nome
mort had ceased to afford her. In TAX
ing that step she was guilty Of a breach
of the neutrality of China, as establish
ed bv the agreement of the beAigerents
and Japan was fully justified in regard
ing the harbor of Che Foo as belliger-
ent, so far as the incident in question
is concerned. With the termination
OF the incident the neutrality of the
port was revived. The action taken By
Japan at Che Foo was a direct natural
consequence of Russia's disregard Of
her engagement.
