 Arbitration Proposal.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Oct. 20.
 It is thought that an end to the strike of the machinists on the Southern Rail way will come within tn next few days.
 Many machinists think that the strike will be declared off by Sunday night and they will receive orders to return to work Monday morning.
 The questian involved in the strike will be adjusted by arbitration and the men on the system wil! abide by the agreement which Is reached by arbi- tration. If the question involved Is turn to work the strike will go down in history as one of the most orderly that has ever been declared:
 The men all over the Southern sys- tenn have behaved in the same gentle manly manner that the machinists in this city have, and the members Of the local machinists' union are proud Of the fact that there has not come to light an act of rowdyism which has been committed by the machlnists who walked out nearly two weeks ago.
 This morning Superintendent J. Fl. southern Railway received the follow ing bulletin with instructions to have the same posted at Atlanta Junction, tion and in this city at the round house of the shops. the yard office and at the Broad Street depot. The bull letin was numbered 694. and was as follows

 In no instance were the performances interrupted, officers standing in the wings and quietly serving their war rants when the actors came off after having filled their parts. No more IT, rests were made tonight, those made this afternoon being considered sufficient to afford a thorough test of the legal ity of the board of safety's order.

Millions of Charity In Name of Ger
 man Emperor and Empress.

Berlin, February 25.-Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria received deputa tions from the reichstag, the Prus- sian diet the Prussian house of lords and other governmental bodies at the palace today, who rendered congratulations on the silver wedding anniversary of their maiesties which occurs next Thursday. Deputies from many German cities also presented written addresses. The Mayor of Berlin handed the Emperor a document bearing the names of the Emperor and Empress, and showing an expenditure of S125.0O0 for charitable institutions.
 Their majesties, according to their reso- lutions announced months ago. will not receive presents from their subjects ex- cept the money for charitable uses. which many municipalities and numerous mer- cantile companies and private individu- als have voted, or donated out of respect for the Emperor and Empress, for new hospital extensions or for founding new institutions for the relief of suffering es- timated at $10,OO0.0O0 to ZIP 0O0.O00 Such an outpouring of donations is quite with out precedent In Germany.

THINKS HE WILL BE ABLE TO AP- PEAR TODAY TO REPORT THE RATE BILL TO THE SENATE. WILL MAKE NO REMARKS.

Washington, February 25.--Senator Till man who was designated by the Senate committee on interstate and foreign com merce to report the railroad rate bill to the Senate and who was confined to his home yesterday, suffering from the eff siderably improved today and was able to go out for a walk.
 If the improvement continues the sena- tor will be on hand promptly at the meeting of the Senate at noon tomor- row, and at the first opportunity will report the bill and have it placed on the calendar. Accompanying the measure will be the mass of testimony taken by the committee during it's many sessions of hearings of the railroad rate question. together with the digest collation. of the material gathered by the experts em- ployed by the committee for that purpose. This information, Senator Tillman said tonight cost the government $3O,0OO to obtain, and he says he thinks it right and proper that it should be presented to the Senate with the bill.
 Senator Tillman said in discussing the subject this evening that he did not ex- pect tomorrow to make any remarks when presenting the report of the committee, nor would there by any formal written statement of reasons by the committee in support of the measure, which is the course ordinarily followed by committees of both houses of Congress when re- porting a measure of great importance.
