chGndise, is securely stuck on the old
hogsback. The Anna started up the
river yesterday, in charge of Pilot Emp
kIns She had been delayed here be-
cause OF the low stage OF the river. but
1t was supposed that there was enough
water yesterday to permit her to get
Up to Portland. She did not succeed
in getting over the old hogsback. how
ever. and last evening was reported to
be quite badly grounded. She Is not
In danger Of damage. but the opinion
is expressed that It will be necessary
TO lighter some OF her cargo. She is
a big vessel and has something like
1000 tons of freight aboard. The
stranding of the Anna indicates that
the inland waterway Is still incapa-
Bile of accommodating the ocean traffic

WINE FEASTS BARRED
TO RAILROAD MEN

A Chicago correspondent
states that the St. Louis and San
Francisco, and the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroads have
determined no longer to allow
expense accounts for wine feasts
among travelling, district and
general agents. For years, it is
said, it has been customary for
agents of railroads to spend what
they termed policy" money.
On every expense account about
half of the items have been for
drinks, suppers and other ex-
penses incurred in preserving
policies" The reform is in
line with the general rules
against intoxicants that are now
enforced against the railroads.
Up to this time, however, the
rules have applied only to the
employees of the train and op-
Grating departments.

WORK OF CTGARETTE,'
Opinion Of Commission That
Investigated the Ba1ti-
more Fire.

Baltimore, March 10. = The
special commission named by
local insurance people appointed
to inquire into the origin of the
late fire here has formulated it's
report. They find in substance
that the fire originated from out
side causes in the John E. Hurst
CompanY's building. The cleo
trio currents were cut, the flow
of gas was cut off at the meters
and the fire in the boxes of the
boilers was shown to have been
drawn before the blaze started.
1t is the theory of the COM
mission that lighted cigarette
or cigar must have ignited in
flammable material in the cellar,
which smoldered until the fire
men discovered the smoke and
began work. 1t is suggested
that the opening of the doors
caused vent for the flames.

These rooms are the best in the

connecting with baths.
It is the duty of the national
committeeman of each state to
provide for accommodations for
his state delegation and this Mr..
Howell has done for the past
twelve years, having served as
Georgir's representative on the
national committee since 1892.
Immediately after the meeting
Of the national committee last
January, Mr.. Howell took up the
matter of securing quarters for
the Georgia delegation, and after
considerable correspondence has
concluded contract by which
the Georgia delegation to the
national convention has secured
the choice, of rooms at the
Southern hotel, perhaps the best
known of the hotels of St. Louis.
Among the other state delega-
tiOpc tO ha ~ +bo Co,,t1o~a 49,

Practically every room in the
large hotels of St. Louis has been
engaged for the convention, and
the state delegations which have
not as yet been provided for will
have a difficult time in securing

NAME
FINLEY FOR CONGRESS

Waycross, Ga. March 16-The
Eleventh Congressional District
Republican Convention was pull
ed off at the Opera House at
Waycross last Wednesday. A
majority of the delegates arrived
Tuesday and a number of secret
caucuses were held that night,
there being two factions fighting
for the Craftsmanship.
1t is asserted, and is doubtless
true, that much money changed
hands before the convention was
called to order. There was
much wrangling before the body
got down to business.
The first business to come up
was the reorganization of the
Eleventh congressional district
Republican forces. e. K. Bel
cher, who has held the position
of chairman ever since the party
has been organized in the district
was a candidate for reelection
as permanent chairman. C. p.
Washington, of Waycross, was
also a candidate.
The Washington forces were
led by Postmaster c. Grier of
Dublin, while the Belcher wing
was led by w. H. Mathews. the
co1ored revenue officer.
Belcher was elected chairman
for term of four years B.
