FLEET RACK by WAY OF sUEz
Arrangements Made for Voyage I'm
Eastern Waters.


WASHINGTON, March 7.-Now that it
has been practically determined by the
president that the battleship fleet shall
return to the Atlantic by way Of suez, the
near approach Of the fleet to It's original
destination-the California coast-has made
1t necessary for the naval officials to ar
range the details OF the itinerary for the
homeward movement
Already several conferences have been
held upon this subject between the presi-
dent and Secretary Metcalf. Admiral Pills
bury, chief of the navigation bureau, and
Admiral Cowles, chief of the equipment
bureau, the latter being specially charged
with the duty of coaling the fleet. The
last conference, held yesterday. was in
tended to place Secretary Metcalf in pos
session Of full information as to what had
been accomplished by the bureau chiefs
in preparation for the return cruise, He
was perfectly satisfied with the result,
Admiral Cowles has already dispatched
large stores of coal to the Hawaiian islands
and to Manila and he has further ascer-
tained Just how much fuel he can obtain
at Port Said and the price he will have to
pay for 1t. This Is as far as he could go
in the absence Of official orders to make
purchases. 1t Is the business of Admiral
Pillsbury TO prepare these orders and he
has already, after consultation with his
assistants in the navigation bureau, been
able to frame them and lay them before
tho president so 1t is expected that in
the scourses Of a few days the formal orders
will issue and Immediately all Of the plans
that have been so carefully worked out
for the fleets return movements will be
put into execution. The point of doubt is
the disposition to be made Of the ships
upon their arrival In Asian waters, for
while 1t is reasonably certain that some of
them will be sent 10 Japan, It is not known
whether the movement in that direction
will be general or confined to about four
representative ships.

Friday The Bee learned OF a movement
20 transfer the Missouri Pacific supern-
tendent's offices from Kansas City to this
city and Immediately sought confirmation
of the rumor at headquarters in st. Louis.
The general superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific is e. A. Gould and II the transfer
is made he will come to this city. The
transfer OF the division superintendents
staff last year from Atchison TO Omaha
was taken as evidence that the Gould
system intended to make more OF Omaha
as a center Of its operations and the ver-
bal pledge of George Gould when in Omaha
last year was another such evidence.
Local officials cf the Missouri Pac fio
could throw no light on the subject OF the
transfer.

ALDRICH OPPOSING CAPERS.
Another Report as to why Latter'S
Confirmation is Being Held Up.

Washington, January 6.-lt is
understood today that the question
of confirming the nomination OF
John G. Capers as commissioner Of
internal revenue will possibly be
reached in the Senate during the
next few days, but there is still a
mystery concerning the matter:
Senator Tillnan has already said
that he was not opposed to Mr.. Ca
pers' confirmation, and Senator La
timer made the same statement to
the News and Courier correspond
ent today. Therefore if a fight IS
made it will not be because of op-
position on the part Of either OF
the South Carolina Senators.
From another source it has been
learned that the opposition OF Sena-
tor A.dricl was the cause OF the
nomination being held up, and that
he has EXPRESSED surprise that the
TWO South Carolina Senators
should back Mr.. Capers, who IS a
Republican.
The hold-up> suggests that al
though Senator Aldrich is of the
same political faith as Mr.. Capers
it NAV be that he is using his posi-
ton as a club for political reasons,
which are not now apparent, but
which may develop later. 1t is al
so learned that Mr.. Capers may
hold his present position indeti-
nitely, Mr.. Pearl Wright, the orr
ginal appointee, having given no
indication recently that he means
to come, 20 Washington any time
soon.

WILL APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE.
Augusta City Council Worked Up
Over North Augusta DispenSrry.

Augusta, Ga, January 7.-Find-
ing it illegal to put a toll on the
North Augusta Bridge, and thus
kill the dispe11sary at that place,
the city council Of Augusta b.
stringent resolutions has decided.
to take the matter up direct with
the South Carolina legislature and
demand that the dispensary be
abolished. The mayor and three
members of council will appear be-
fore the legislature to present reso-
lutions to that end adopted tonight.
After a preamble citing in speci-
fc terms the injury of the dlspen-
sary, the resolution says:
BE it resolved, That the city
council Of Augusta do have adj
dressed to the legislature of South
Carolina a memorial setting forth
the prearnbles herein contained and
petitioning that honorable body
for the reasons hereinbefore set
forth, to so amend the law now in
operation in that state as to not de-
stroy completely the desires of the
people of, Georgia, as. evinced by
the overwhelming majority Of its
chosen representatives that the sale
of liquor should be forever prohl-
bited in it's confines, and to send to
the legislature of South Carolina a
committee from this body to pres
ent that memorial and to urge that
the state of South Carolina grant
to this municipality relief from
what will apparently be a cond1-
ton of unn1ived evil"

HONOR. FOR DIR. JOYNES.
University Professor Granted Retlr
ing Allowance from Carnegie =,
Foundation.

Columbia, Jan. AT the meet
ing of the faculty of the University
of South Carolina this afternoon
announcement was made that DR..
Edward S. Joynes had been voted
a handsome "retiring allowance"
by the Carnegie board for the ad-
vancement of education, "in con-
sideration of unusual and distln-
guished service as professor OF
modern languages"
This complimentary action was
based on a record of continuous
and varied service since 1858, and
has been recommended by many OF
= DR.. Joynes's old pupils and friends,
who occupy prominent and import
ant positions in various parts of the
country. DR.. Joynes has accord
ingly submitted his resignation, to
take effect at the close Of the pres
ent session.
For twenty-five years DR.. Joynes
has been a member of the faculty
of the South Carolina College,
now the University of South Car
Dina. Before that he was a mem
Der of the faculty of Washington
and Lee University, at Lexington,
Va, serving under the presidency
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and before
that time he was J. teacher at the
University Of Virginia, where he
had studied and obtained his de-
gree. Since coming to the South
Carolina State College he has been
engaged, not only in teaching, but
in the preparation Of text books,
which have gained a wide use
throughout the United States. DR..
Joynes has for years ranked as one
of the country's leading teachers
in modern languages, and his work
: as author and teacher has COM
mended him to the Carnegie board.
It is the rule of the Carnegie fouri-
dation that no '<retiring allowance
shall be granted to teachers in
state or denoroinational institu-
tons, but on account of his distin-
guished services in the cause OF
education an exception has been
made in the case of DR.. Joynes.
DR.. Joynes has since its founda-
tion been a trustee of Winthrop
College and has taken an acute in,
terest in the affairs of the state al
large. He is a man of wide leau1-
ing and broad sympathies and
while he will retire from active
work at the close vf the present
session, it is hoped that he will be
prevailed on to remain as adviser
and counsellor at the University o5
South Carolina. His place at the
head of the department of modern
languages will indeed be hard tc
fill. J. H.

FARMERS UNION.
Eyery Southern State Represented at
Memphis Meeting-Will Hold
for Fifteen Gents.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 1.-The
annual convention of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative I'M
ion met here today. About 800 de-
legates, representing every South
ern state, and Miss uri, Kansas and
Washington are in attendance.
G. S. Barrett. of Union county,
Georgia, president of tie union, be-
Afore calling the convention to or
er, said:
rOne of the most important
Ags we hope to accomplish is to
< cents for cotton, and we are
to get it if We have to hold it
the market for years. "
Nides planning for the reduc-
ton of the cotton acreage the con-
vention is considering steps to make
practicable the holding of cotton by
those who are not in shape tlnan-
cia1Iy to wait months for their
money.
Numerous suggestions have been
made along this line. One which
has been discussed at some length
was warehouse certificates for stor-
ed cotton as the basis of bond is
sue. These bonds will be sold to
those members of the union who
have the ready money to spare: A
fair rate of interest would be fix
ed, the bonds to mature in ~
months.
While the members Of the union
would be first urged to take these
bonds. they would also be offered
to such banks as might desire them:
In all cases the interest would
make them a desirable investment.
The effect would be to band all
the sections more closely together,
BY the forming practically of a big
company with all members vitality
interested in the price OF cotton.
Another proposition being dis
cussed is the forming Of a regular
stock company and to issue stock
with seed cotton as the basis.

ANKENY LOSES
IN WASHINGTON
Endorse Jones for
Senator-McBride Ahead
for Governor.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. Sowing to the
number of names upon the Republican
ticket. and the strong fight made fer
the nomination for United States SEN
ator and for governor, complete returns
have not been received at this hour t6
o. m) from many-of the thirty-s;x
counties of the state under the new
primary election law.
Incomplete returns from thirty coun-
ties indicate that Senator Levi Ankeny
of Walla Walla has been defeated for
denomination by Representative Wcs-
ley l.. Jones of North Yakima by from
1.500 to 5000 votes. with Judge William
II. Smell of Tacoma far behind.
In the. race for governor the incum-
bent, Albert f. Mead, has been de-
feated with a decidedly close vote be-
tween former Governor Henry Mcbride
of Seattle and Samuel G.. Cosgrove of
Pomeroy. Under the law the winning
candidate must receive 40 per cent of
the first choice vote. and where four
or more candidates are running a Sec
ond choice must be voted for. AS there
We're eight candidates the result is
largely in doubt. Mcbride seems to
have a slight lead on first choice, but
Cosgrove has AZ decided advantage for
second choice, and may be the NOM
inee.
In Seattle and Kings county Ankeny
and Mcbride lead by small pluralities
with incomplete returns from ninety
three out of the 223 precincts.
Congressman William f. Humphrey
of this. the First district. and Francis
w. Cushman of Tacoma, Second dis
trict, were nominated without opposi-
ton.

RECOGNITION OF SW|sHER
Chairman Hitchcock Settles the
West Virginia Trouble by
Throwing Down Scherr.

New York, Sept. 9.-The involved po-,
litical situation in West Virginia. where
the factions led respectively by Arnold
Scherr. now serving a second term as
auditor, and Charles r. Swisher, secre-
tary of state have each been claiming
recognition as the only regular and au-
thorized representative of the regular
Republican organization, was cleared
today by the recognition as the regu-
lar sicket the convention presided over
by Representative Joseph II. Gaines.
leader of the Swisher forces. The fight
had been carried up 10 Chairman Frank
II. Hitchcock. who appointed National
Committeeman w. L. Ward, T. Dupont
and Charles F. Brooker as sub-com-
mittee to hear both sides and pass on
the respective merits of the claims adj
vanced.
Chairman Hitcacock said tonight that
he had been assured that, Irrespective of
any action that might be taken by the
Scherr faction in the matter, II was alb
solutely certain that but one set of pres
idential electors would be nominated In
West Virginia, so that the fight will ef-
feet only the state offices to be filled
and will in no way imperil the national
ticket The chairman added that the cof<-
mittee counted on the loyalty OF West
Virginia Republicans to protect In every
wav the interest of the national candi-
dates. and had reason TO believe that such
protection would be accorded
Vice Presidential Candidate sherman IS
expected TO be at headquarters tomorrow.
Chairman Hitchcock will be at headquar-
tiers all this week.
