ENTRANCE INTO BIRMINGHAM
ATLANTIC COAST LINE CAR
RYING ON NEGOTIATIONS.
Deal Now Pending With DOmi-
nant Interests of the McCOr-

critics.
Wilmington Messenger.)

New York, Feb. S.-The Wal
Street Journal tomorrow will ssay:
"The Atlantic Coast Line is seek
ing entrance into the Birmingham n
field. 1t aylH probably secdre~ i,
through the purchase of several large
coal properties.
"NegutiatIons are on between the
company and the dominant interests
in the Mccormick and Ramsay prop
critics. Ii they are carried through,
the Atlantic Coast Line would be
assured Of good freight business from
the start.
"Inrough the joint lease with the
Louisville and Nashville of the
Georgia railroad, the Atlantic Coast
Line has only to bridge the gap from
Atlanta to Birmingham " De able
to give iron and steel products of the
Birmingham districts and the cotton
a new line to deep Water III competI-
tlon with the Southern hallway.
Through its oWuersnip of a MAJ
jority OF the Stock of the Louisville
and Nashville, the company is now
competing with Its rivals in the
South for the heavy and growing
freight of the Alabama district and
the securing of new line from Bir-
mingham TO deep water would be of
immense advantage 70 it in the con-
test for control OF the transportation
field of the South.
"Because OF the tremendous posi-
bilities for deveIopmeuL oi the Dli-
mingham field through the penuIng
combination of Southern iron prop
critics made possible by change OF
control of the Alabama Consolidated
Coal and Iron Company, all the
Southern roads not now represented
in Birmingham are seeking entrance
there,
"The Atlantic Coast Line appar-
entity recognizes the paramount inn
portance Of the point 1rom strategic
standpoint, and from the poiut Of
view of immediate increased traffic.

difficulty will be encountered in clo-
sing the pending deal for the McCor-
mack and Ramsay properties"

RATE LEGISLATION.

From all indications it would now
appear improbable that the Esch.
Townsend rebate bill, which passed
the House on Thursday, will be act.
ed upon by tn Senate during the
present session of Congress. In fact,
1T is stated that the Senate has no
disposition to hasten legislation on
this subject, and that the purpose OF
the leaders of that body is to grant
extensive hearings to reilrOad Offic-
ials and others in committee before
the bill is even reported back to the
Senate. AS the life of the present
Congress expires on March 4th, it
would be impossible to grant these
hearings and debate the matter with
in the period Intervening.
Tie Senate is never in a hurry tC
do anything. 1t is the conservative,
not say slow, legislative body of this
country. However, if the program
me above referred to is adhered to,
and If an extra session of Congress is
not held, 1t is probable that the mat
ter viii not be disposed of until late
in the next Congress, thus requiring
action again by the House, since the
passage of the DIli by the House at
THIS oessl III would not suffice Tor the
new Co sIeso.
rlIe 1're-Ident has his heart set
upon rate legislation. He correctly
believes tnat great evils exist along
thlS line, and that Immediate relief
il needed. HI is especially desirOus
of granting wider range of power
to Cnx- Interstate Commerce Commits
81. II.
The people are with him on this
proposition, but, of course, the rail-
roado are not. AS consequence of
this situation, 1t is reported that an
extra session of Congre ss may be
ciiIed immediately after the ad-
journmeut of tine present session to
take up this question. The people
would heartily applaude action of
Jnis character. There must be re-
lief from the present intolerable sit
uatiOn.

FALSE! EXCLAIMED MILES
The Charge That He Sought to
Humiliate Jefferson
Davis,

Boston, lass, Feb. SIN a state
ment issued today concerning the
imprisonment of Jefferson Davis al
Fortress Monroe III 1866 General
Nelson A. Miles says:
"The matter has been agltated at
different periods during the last
forty years, but never before has it
been discussed in the halls of Con-
gress. AS far as my official action is
concerned, it was directed by the
highest authority; it received the
approval of, and has uever been
questioned by my superIors or the
government. 1 nave no apology t.
offer of any kind to any person. The
charge that the acts of the highest
officials of the government or my
self were prompted for the purpose
of humillating MIR. Davis or the peo-
pie who associated and sympathized
with him, is as puerile as it is ut
terly untrue.
''It is to be regretted that the high
officials, President johnson, Secre.
tary Stanton and Danta, Judge Ad.
vocate General Holt and Major Gen.
eral HallaCk are not living in order
that they might answer the vicious
vituperation by which their names
are now assailed. Still, 1 am sure
that they are acting in good faith
and as they believe for the best in
ierests of country upon the informa
ton then in their POSSESSION and The

1t is Brief. He Prays for His
Family.
Immediately after the execution
McCue's three spiritual advisers
gave out the following signed state
ment:
81. Samuel McCue stated this
morning in our presence, and re-
quested us to make public, that he
did not wish to leave this world with
suspicion resting on any human be-
ing other than himself; that he alone
was responsible for the deed, i'm
PEELED to it by an evil power beyond
his control, and that he recognized
his sentence as just"
J. Samuel McCue was 46 years OLD
and twice had been mayor of the city
of Charlottesville. The tragedy fol
which he paid the penalty created
more interest than any other crime
that has occurred in the State in tht
past quarter of a century.
After the execution one of McCue's
spiritual advisers said:
ssMr. McCue left this world with {
feeling of bitterness toward no hu
man being in it. His heart Was won
derfully softened. He was earnes
and tender. This morning in ou
presence he offered to God a mos
fervent prayer for his family; for hi
brothers and their wives; for his sis
ter; for his uncles and aunts, AM
lastly and most tervenuy for all hi
children. He called them each b,
name. He invoked the blessing G
Almighty God upon them ALL"
