MAY ASK LEGISLATURE TO
SEND ANOTHER REGIMENT
Government Takes Up the Matter Of An Increase
in Geor9ia'S Quota.

Atlanta, July 21.-Gov. Terrell will
make every effort to send to the army
maneuvers at Manassas, Va, early in
September, a third regiment of $50 men
and officers. thus making a full bril-
gade of infantry. Senator A. o. Ba-
con, who has been looking arter Geor-
gia's interests in this matter in Wash
ington, called on Gov. Terrell to-day
and had a conference with him with
regard to the matter.
Senator Bacon reported to the Gov
ernor that it was impossible to secure
any further increase in the quota of
troops allowed Georgia, namely 1900
but that the War Department had con-
scented to take care OF an additional
regiment of infantry from this state,
provided Georgia would pay the trans
portation to and from Manassas.
The object now in view is to ar
range to get the additional $50 men
to Manassas and back. The military
The Savannah morning news., 1904-07-22

fund is practically exhausted, and the
necessary money cannot come from
this source. The transportation rate
allowed Georgia troops is cent a
mile. but at this rate it would cost
more than $1,000 to transport the ad-
ditional regiment to Manassas and
home again. 1t is believed that still
lower rate can be secured, and nego-
tiations will be entered into with the
railroads, with a view to securing the
transportation Of these troops for a
lump sum considerably below that fig
ure. AS soon as this is done, which
will be within the next day or two, II
the negotiations prove satisfactory, the
Legislature will be asked for a suffi-
cient appropriation to pay this ex-
pense. 1t is said that the Legisla-
ture will not give military fund this
year, in which event it is thought
there should be no trouble In securing
the small appropriation necessary for
the transportation OF these troops.

Washington, July 21.-The strike of
the bricklayers at the Washington bar
racks has been brought to the attention
OF the War Department in a report sub
mitted by Capt. Sewell, the officer in
charge Of the work. Gen. Mckenzie,
chief of engineers of the army, issued
a statement concerning the trouble,
which says:
"All employees in mechanical trades
and skilled labor are secured by the
government under civil service rules
and regulations, and when vacancies
occur such vacancies are to be filled
under civil service rules.
"In the present instance, II is under
stood twenty-five bricklayers have
quit work The only thing to be done
in the matter is for the officer in charge
to secure substitutes as required by
the civil service law, as In the case Of
any other vacancy. and If such cannot
be obtained TO report the facts to his
superior and await instructions.
"Of course. II workmen cannot be OBJ
tained in the manner provided by law
the work will have to be suspended"

OPERATIVES BITTER.

They Say a Cut Would Mean Ruin
OusIy Low Wages.
Fall River, Mass, July 21.-The pre-
vailing feeling among the cotton mill
operatives. who last night voted to
strike on Monday next, rather than
submit to a 121a per cent, reduction in
wages, was more bitter tonight than
at any time since the announcement
by the mill owners. Operatives to-
night made the statement that with a
121z per cent. reduction the wages of
many employees would be as low as
$3.50 for a weeks work.
At the manufacturers meeting this
afternoon it was voted to open the
mills Monday morning as usual, and to
give the operatives who desire it a
chance to work. This action was unan-
imous.
The Executive Committee of the
Textile Council will within the next
forty-eight hours issue the formal
strike order.

Cincinnati. July 21.-The convention
Of the Grand Lodge of Elks was some
what agitated to-day over the report
that persons not entitled to admission
had been in the Grand Lodge to vote
for grand officers Tuesday. 1t is
charged that about twenty "substi-
tuted credentials" were used then,
and had the same persons attempted
to participate yesterday they would
have been exposed. Proxies are not
permitted and past exalted rulers only
are entitled to vote. 1t Is claimed that
some past exalted rulers, unable 20
be present, gave their cards to others.
The feature to-day was the session
of sorrow in memory of Past Grand
Exalted Ruler Meade d. Detweiler.
Capt. Champ S. Andrews. exalted
ruler of New York, was appointed by
Grand Exalted Ruler Fannins as a
member Of the board of governors of
the Elks national home in Virginia.

NATIONAL GUARDIANSHIP
Is StiII n Matter That Has Not Been
Settled.

New York. July p Thomas Taggart,
member of the Democratic Committee
for Indiana, to-day had consultation
with John w. Kern. He still refuses
to discuss the subject of national
chairman, but nothing has yet occurred
to alter his determination to stand for
the place if the committee is of the
same mind next Tuesday that it was
when 1t assembled in st. Louis the day
after the convention adjourned.
Mr.. Kern is just as determined as
ever to insist upon Taggart being Sc
lected, and is still talking about the
Importance of the West in connection
with the campaign. He asserts that
Taggart knows the situation in that
section better than any other man sug-
gested for the place, and says that it
is desirable to have men connected with
the committee who are in close touch
with the financial interests.
An Executive Committee may be
chosen to have the management of the
campaign in the Eastern states which
are considered necessary for Demo-
cratic success.
August Belmont settled all talk about
himself in connection with the national
Craftsmanship to-day by telling his
IL Nh1t AAC FNpNAN AAcS ~ Ne'ie'AN@
cred for the place. 1t is understood
that Belmont favors Taggart for chair
man.
Unless Taggart should voluntarily
withdraw, it is not believed that Sen
ator German would allow his name to
be used, and perhaps not even in that
contingency At the same time, some
of the Eastern men still thimp that
the Maryland Senator is a possibility
and do not relinquish the hope that
he will manage the campaign. With
German absolutely out, attention VIII
be turned to William F.. Sheehan. who.
it is believed, would be Judge Parker's
personal choice, on account of their
long friendship. But unless some di-
rect word comes from Judge Parker to
the effect that he wants German or
Sheehan, Taggart's friends will keep
him in the field.

Paw Twice a Month at Arsenal.

Effective yesterday an order issued
by the secretary of war providing for
the semi-mOnthly payment OF me-
chanics and labor employees at govern
ment arsenals has been received at
Rock Island arsenal. The payments
are TO be made as nearly after the
18th and the last of each month as can
be arranged. In the past employees
we're paid monthly. but this caused
many 10 run accounts. while the pres
ent system viii tend greatly to cradi-
cate that method. In the month OF
August there were 2.135 men on the
pay roll at Rock Island arsenal whose
wages aggregated a sum of $4,000.
