Soaking to Limit Its Liability.

dispatch from New York last night
says:
An action in admiralty was begun In the
Tinted States district court today by the
Knickerbocker Steamboat Company which
asked the court to limit its liability for the
losses, damages and injuries claimed by
score or more plaintiffs in actions brought
against the company as result OF the
General Slocum disaster. The contingent
liability of the vessel owners in such cases
is limited by the United States Revised
Statutes to the value of the vessel after the
wreck provided she was in a seaworthy
condition when she started on the voyage.
The company claims that the value of the
Slocum after the disaster did not exceed
s. 600 and that she should not be held liable
beyond that amount. The various claim
ants against the company, however, con-
tend that the General Slocum was in any
thing but a seaworthy condition at the time
she put out on her Inflated trip. Suits have
already been filed against the Knickerbock,
er Company, as owners, for damages ag-
gregating more than 500. 600.

NEW RAILROAD IN TURKEY.
Helping the Sultan to Bind His Great
Interests.
jy16-d&dbs

Interests.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
At the present time there are something
like ten railroads In Turkey, owned by the
French. English, Germans and Turks, but
for the most part they are small lines and
do a limited business. The Damascus-Mec-
ca railway will be the largest road in the
empire and will be constructed and con-
Quoted on American lines. One of the larg-
est steel concerns in the United States has
just closed contract with the Turkish
government for 90, 900 tons of steel rails,
and much larger orders are promised. The
road is being built on standard gauge, and
plans are being made for the best types of
locomotives made in the county and also
for the finest freight aid passenger cars
that can be turned out from American
shops.
The Importance of thfs move from a
strategic viewpoint was shown by the ex-
tension of the railway line from Con.
stantinople to Salonica. 1t runs toward
the west from Dedeagatch, at the mouth
of the Martha, the ancient Hebrus, the
principal river of Thrace, over noun
famous country through a wild region.
1t was originally built for military pur-
poses, but passenger trains are now run
on it two days week from Constantine
pie to Salonica, making the trip in twenty
seven hours. This railroad played an i'm
portant part in the defeat of the Greeks
and the occupation of Thessaly by the
Turks in 1897. The forces of the sultan
assembled in the provinces of the empire
in Europe were hurried by this line to the
frontier, and in an incredibly short time
Edham PaSha. the commander of the i'm
perial troops. had 10000 horse and foot
within striking distance.
In building these railroads-especially the
great government enterprise from Damas-
Gus to Mecca-a most remarkable change
has been effected in the internal policy of
Turkey. To open a country that has been
slow as China to accept modern in
situations. TO the rapid methods of the
west has required a vast amount of courage
on the part of the sultan. Not only has
he employed courage. however, but he has
brought into requisition an attribute with
which he has the credit of being we'll
equipped. and that is cunning. The Da-
mascus- Mecca railroad passes through the
ancient biblical country in the very part
of Arabia where the inhabitants are the
most pronounced Mohammedans and the
most intrepid warriors. They care moth
ing for the sultan personally. His name
nor his arms do not alarm them. but they
have the highest respect for his religion.
Abdul Hamd understands the situation
we'll and he has taken advantage of H.
He has invoked the power of the press to
aid him in piercing the great desert of
Arabia with the iron rails that he believes
are going to cement his empire into 4 united
monarchy. And in the press he has many
allies not only in Turkey, but i'm Europe
as well, il being reported that in France
alone there are seventeen papers that VIII
publish whatever matter he fit to
dictate. In the furtherance of his plan
of railroad building through Arabia he
has used the Turkish and Arabian news
papers.

A "Holy" Railroad.
from the New York Times.


. In these lays. when railways are run
more for what there is in them for a ia.
vored few than for the accommodation of
the general public, it may be interesting 10
recall the fact that there is right here in
North America holy railroad" This is
a little line twenty-one miles long, from
Quebec to Ste. Anne de Beaupre. It is sa-
cred because it claims to run especially for
the accommodation of pilgrims and above
all, because at its opening few years since
it was formally blessed, with all its be.
Iongings. by Cardinal Taschereau. Every
Sunday the trains are crowded by devotees
in search of the blessing of the good Saint
Anne who is credited with the miraculous
power of healing, and on July 26, Saint
Annes day, the road cannot accommodate
the enormous crowds which flock to her
shrine.
Think of riding on a holy railroad! But
those who have travelled on it know that
they must not expect the comforts of para
disc. 1t may be called holy" but 1t seems
to be run. none the less, with an eye to
dividends, The charges are high and the
service poor.

Interesting Meeting of State Commit.
tee in Atlanta "Wednesday.
The Atlanta Constitution of gester'

Assurances have been received that
there will be practically full attend.
ance of the state democratic executive
committee here on wednesday at noon
when a meeting will be held at the
Piedmont hotel for the purpose Of tax
ing some action regarding the Morris
Gober contest over the nomination for
the judg hip of the Blue Ridge cir
cult.
The Importance of this contest 70
the party has aroused interest in all
parts of the state, for it has been the
cause Of many suggestions as to again
changing the method OF choosing judg,
es of the snnerior and supreme courts.
Not a Yof these have been favora-
BILE to tbAold -pethod of election by
the legisiat1Te while entirely new
plans for selecting the judiciary have
been advocated in other quarters.
Members of the committee who have
expressed themselves ON the subject
say that this will be one of the most
important meetings, the state commit
tee has ever held and that no mem
Der who can possibly be here should
fail to attend
The contest has been made by Hon.
N. A. Morris, speaker of the present
house Of representatives, who was de-
feated by majority Of about 200 votes
Judge George f. Gober being renomi-
mated to succeed himself. Mr.. Morris
bases his contest principally on allie
cations as to the methods In Fannin
county, but it is likely that other coun-
ties will be brought into the investi-
CATION before the committee.
At the forthcoming meeting date
for hearing the contest will be fixed
i and rules and regulations under which
1t will be conducted will be laid down
1 Both sides will then summon their wit
nesses and the hearing will be had in
time to reach conclusion before the
state convention meets on June /.
So far as is known at present there
is no other business to come before
the committee at this meeting.

company are looking forward to the
trip with no little interest.
Since it was announced that the
Georgia state troops would be given
a weeks encampment at this Virginia
city, the Brunswick organization has

took the matter up. AT a recent meet

The Ritiemen have that many on the

majority Of the state encampments.
The Rilemen will also make an ef-
fort to go to the St Louis exposition
