GreenviIIe-Atlanta Trolley Line.

An electric line from Atlanta, Ca,
to Greenville, seems in prospect, the
survey for the line having already
practically been completed.
A corps Of engineers has been at
work some time, surveying the line,
and has reached the suburbs OF Allan
ia. This line is to be built by the
Atlanta and Carolina Electric compa-
ny and will run about 160 miles. The
project has been In contemplation for
a long time, but the fact that the
engineers have almost completed a
survey for the tracks indicates that
it is proposed to commence work at
an early date.

ENJOYS ARE SELECTED.
Russia and Japan Name Men to Ar.
range Peace Treaty-Rooseveit
Makes Announcement.

Official announcement was made by.
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
Sunday of the names Of the Russian
and japanese ENJOYS to the Washing
ton peace conference. The character
and ability Of the men selected by
both belligerents is an earnest Of the;
desire of their respective governments
to conclude, If possible, the tragedy
being enacted in the Far East. The:
plenipotentiaries are:
Observation-Disclosures Muravie6, s
formerly minister of justice and now
ambassador to Italy, and Baron Ros
sen, recently appointed as ambasss-s
dor 10 the United States TO succeed
Count Cassini. Nls.@
Japanese-Baron Komura, minister
of negotiation affairs, and Kogorcj
Takahira, minister to the United
States.
BY direction Of the president, Sec
retary Loeb made the formal an-S
nouncement in the following stats
ment:
The president announces that the.
Russian and Japanese governments
have notified him that they have ap-S
pointed the plenipotentiaries to meet
here Washington as soon after the.
first of August as possible. The two
Russian plenipotentiaries are Ambas-'
sador Nuravieff, former minister Sot
Justice, and now ambassador at Rome,
and Ambassador Rosen. The Japan
ese plenipo,entiaries are Baron ,Kc-
mura, now minister Of foreign affairs,
and Minister Takahira. ~
1T is possible that each side may
send one or more additional represen-s
tatives. The plenipotentiaries of both
Russia and Japan will be entrusted
with full power to negotiate and con-
clude a treaty of peace, subject OF.
course to ratification by their respect
We home government"
A day Or two ago the Russian ana
Japanese governments formally conn.,
municated to President Roosevelt the,
names of the. plenipotentiaries they re-
spectively had selected. Acting as an
intermediary, the president communl-
Gated the namec OF the Japanese en-
VOWS to the St. Petersburg govern
ment. and those of the Russian rep
resentatives to the government at To-.
kio. Having received from both gov.
ernments assurances that the selecS
tions were Satisfactory, the president,
according to his agreement with the
belligerents, authorized the public an
nouncement of the ENJOYS. Z
Some delay was occasioned in the.
selection of the plenipotentiaries by
the insistence of Japan that the en-
voys of both governments be clotneo
with full rower to conclude peace,
and to negotiate permanent treaty.
The japanese government indicated
pointedly that the emperor would Eot:
hermit his ENJOYS to enter upon
tentative conference in which Japan
was to define terms, and then let
Russia decide whether conference
should proceed with their delibera-
tions. The Toxic government insist
ed that the plenipotentiaries should
have conferred on them treaty-maklng
powers, and that the negotiations
should be entered upon in spirit OF
7erfect sincerity. Such, too, was the
position taken by President Roose-
velt.
