tons on certain land which expire In
March and July The report states:
THE board is of the opinion that the
Oglethorpe is we'll suited for expansion
into brigade post, with necessary
ground for drills, ceremonies and eie-

problems involving combined opera

troops concentrated for maneuver
purposes. The land is so situated that

sary for the troops to remain out over

IN MEMORY OF GORNaN.

Washington, February 2.--The bust
| ness of the house was laid aside at 2
O'Clock today by previous arrange
ment in order that the members might
pay fitting tribute TO the memory OF

Old seat on the republican side told in
simple phrases of MS long association
with the dead senator. The tribute Of
the speaker TO Mr.. German was warm
and heartfelt and the unusually large
number OF representative present un-
consciously broke into applause at the
this famous son Of Maryland. He said
that in his opinion Mr.. German had
contributed to the progress Of the re-
public and Of civilization as he was
given the light, and he thought man
who could make this declaration as
he passed over after a public life
should regard himself fortunate.
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, followed the
speaker. Speaking of the campaign OF
1888, Mr. Clark vouchsafed it as his
opinion that had Senator German been
chairman of the national democratic
committee in that year, Cleveland
would have been reelected "and the
current Of our history changed for
years, it may be forever -
Referring to the Cleveland German
for him to say upon whom rested the
blame, but he regarded it as the turn

In the course Of his remarks on the
life of Senator German, Mr.. Townp, of
New York, took occasion to pay his
compliments to the ''muck raker."
The function Of the muck raker,"

Canal From Norfolk to Beaufort
Inlet.

were spent today by the house in
further consideration of the river and
harbor appropriation bill, speeches
against the bill being made by Mr..
Heburn, of Iowa, Mr.. Clark of Mis-
souri,, and Mr.. Keifer of Ohio. Mr.

building of waterway from Norfolk
to Beaufort Inlet.
Mr.. Small insisted that if the inter-
nal trade of the country is to De pre-
served additional waterways would
have to be developed and present water
ways deepened and widened. He ad-
dressed the house particularly in favor
of a canal from Norfolk to Beaufort
Inlet, the entire distance being 204
miles The last estimate of the board
OF engineers fixed the cost of the pro-
ject at three and one-half millions. He
said the project covered largely natural
waterways, the deepening Of the rivers
being the largest cost.

English View of Tension Between

CRITICAL STAGE NOT REACHED
In Event of War Great Britain Will
Not be EmbrOiled Under Anglo jap

Give Comparison of the Two Coun-
tries.

London, February 2.-Dispatches re-
| ceived here from the United States re-
porting renewed tension between the
United States and Japan over the San
Francisco school incident are publish
ed with rather derisive comment, as
the press takes the view that Japan IS
not as belligerent as she is represent
i ed, and the official view, while it does
not minimize the delicate points in
VOlVed, still it does not regard The
question as having entered upon the
critical stage. 1t is pointed out that
the reports of japanese '|ultimatum"
probably arises from the popular use
of the word uItimatum instead OF 1ss
decisive meaning under International
law. Government circle thus far have
given little consideration to this con-
troversy as they do not share the view
that it is likely to embrOil Great Brit
ain under the terms Of an AnglO-Japa-
nese treaty. Officials here point out

formal exchange of views one of the
chief government officials said that the
difficulties of the federal government
in dealing with the different states
could be appreciated here owing 10
Great Britain's difficulties in dealing
with New Foundland and other colo
nies. Concerning the AnglC-Japanese

view is that this treaty is limited Dy

COURT OVERRULED DEMURRER.
Railroad Sought to Break Contract tC
Issue Plaintiffs Annual Free Passes
for Life

Louisville, KY, February 2.-Judge
Walter Evans in the federal court to-
day overruled the demurrer Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany to the equity petition filed by
Erasmus l.. and Annie H. Motley, IN
which the latter sought to enforce a
contract by which the railroad COM
pany agreed to issue annual passes to
the plaintiffs during their life time.
The court says that the act Of June
20, 1906, known as the railroad rate
bill, under which the railroad company
declined to issue the passes as agreed,
in January 1907 should be construed
precisely as if, in it's general language,
ther was an express exception eXclud-
ing from it's operation the complain
ants contract. In no other way can
the vested contract rights of the COM
plainants be preserved.
The general tenor of the opinion is
to the effect that congress did not in
tend to annual previously made con-
tract founded upon good consideration.
The court says further that passes is
sued the MOtleys, while called free
passes" were not so any more than a
ticket bought and paid for The de-
murrer Of the railroad company was
hibits the issuing of passes, the rail-
road taking the position that this law
ended their contract with the Motleys.
