A score of earload of choice tea were
being rushed into this country from Can

which fell due at midnight on June 13th
at midnight. Only five cars arrived on
United States soil in time. The other fif
teen cars wire stalled on British territory
a few hundred feet away as the clock
struck 12. •

the prompt orders of tho United States
internal revenue officers on watch at the
dividing line between the two countries.

The disaster was heightened by the .ab

grocer of the public to pay the tax. as the
entire consignment had been sold to the
dealers throughout the west and north
west. The blow falls with full force upon
a dozen tea importing concerns in this

have a creditable flag ship when he goes
to Honolulu.
Just what the ceremonies connected with

circumstances. There will be a salute to
the flag by the rear admiral’s flag ship and
a land parade of sailors and marines.

“DOC" MASURY
ft GOOD THING
His Yacht Brunchilde is at the
Mercv of a Spanish Tor
pedo Boat.
BLED HIM AT BUENOS
And Followed Him to Rio Where the
Blood Money Was Doubled—
Has Appealed to President.!
New York, June 17 —“Captain” John W.
'.Masury, owner of the schooner yacht
Brunhilde, has shared the troubles of many
yacht owners who were abroad .when the
war started. The Brunhilde is tied up in
the harbor of (Rio Janeiro.
While in the port of ißuenos 'Ayres
“Captain” 'Masury paid $2,000 to the cap
tain of a Spanish torpedo boat to allow
him to get out to sea. He was followed
into the harbor of Rio Janeiro, where the
price oi freedom was put at $4,000.
“Captain” 'Masury a-pealed to the Amer
ican consul and characterized the act of
the torpedo boat captain as that of a pirate
He was promised the protection of his
consul while he remained in port, Ibut he
was at the mer<w of the 'Spaniard if he
ventured out to the open sea. Masury han
written President 'McKinley but he has not
yet received a reply.
While in INew York John W. Masury was
known among sportsmen as “Doc” (Masury.
He is a member of the New York Yacht
Club and other clubs in this neighborhood.
He came into the possesion of $2,000,000
in 1896 as his share of his grandfathers’
will. He bought the Brunhilde and fitted
her out for a voyage around the world.
With a party, including his wife and Mr.
and Mrs. Lasker, of Boston, he started
from Brooklyn in January, 1897 . Upon
reaching the 'Bermudas the crew deserted,
and it was many weeks 'before a new crew
was shipped. The brunhilde was nearly
wrecked in the pacific, and this changed
the plans for the trip around the world.
The yacht was turned on its homeward
voyage.
Memlbers of the New York Yacht Clu'b
next heard of “Captain” IMasury at Buenos
'Ayres, argentine republic.
He was determined to sail and said so.
“Captain” Masury was warned that he
would be followed and seized by the
Spanish torpedo boat then in the harbor.
It was finally agreed to let the Brunhilde
sail for $2,000. The yacht sailed undis
turbed, but was followed to Rio Janeiro.
When the yacht let go anchor the Span
iard was lying close to.
THIRD MANILA’
EXPEDITION.
The Ships That Have Been
Detailed to Carrv the
Troops.
San Francisco, June 17.—Orders have
been issued to have the City of Para ready
to sail with the third Manila expedition
on June 25th. It is not expected, how
ever, that the transports will sail much
before July Ist. So fas as decided upon
they will consist of the Ohio, Indiana, Mor
gan City, City of IPara and Valencia. The
last named, whjch was secured yesterday,
can carry six hundred rneu, is pearly new
and has superior accommodations for of
ficers. She will probably be made the flag
ship of Brigadier General King, or. Ge
neral (Merritt, should he decide tp go with
these vessels.
The steamers Progress and Willamette
have been examined and may be taken. If
they "are not secured the force of men
under General King may not exceed 3,500
or 4,000 men, owing to the limited capacity
of the steamers engaged. Seven trans
ports have already sailed and only 6,000
men are yet on their way to Manila. It
will require nearly twenty more troop ships
to carry the 14,000 soldiers -necessary to
make up the 20,000 which is given out
as the number which will occupy the
Phillipines.
If the deal with the British North Amer
ican Pacific Company can he made the way
wlli be open for engaging more foreign
vessels, and the government may yet get
such steamers as the Coptic, Gaelic and
Doric. The Belgic can hardly come in
the list, for she sails tomorrow for the
Orient.

“ALL UP.”
“Dan” Boone, the Well Known and Popular
Printer, Died This Morning.
W. L. Boone, one of the best known and
the best of Macon’s printers died at the
city hospital this morning (between 2 and
3 o’clock.
The announcement of his death was a
shock to those members of the newspaper
fraternity who knew “Dan” Boone and to
a large circle of friends in the city.
He had been sick for only a short time,
A little over three weeks ago he went irp
to Indian Spring hoping to regain his
strength there, but the trip failed of its
purpose and yesterday Mr. Cheney, one of
his co-wqrkeys, wept up to the spring and
brought him to Macon. He was at once
taken to the city hospital. On arrival
there the resident physician saw that he
was in a critical condition. His friends
who called on him yesterday afternoon,
however, did not think that he was sn
near death. The end oame peacefully and
was the result of a general breakdown of
the system, x
Few men have succeede'd in living their
lives even for so short a time and leaving
behind them so many friends and so few
enemies as did “Dan” Boone, as he was
familiarly known by every newspaper man
and every printer in the city. He was a
quiet, self-contained man who lived with
out interferring with gpy one else. He
was the soul of generosity and though
frail feody his heart was big and his
sympathies .large. For nearly ten years
he has' worked at his trade as a printer in
Macon and was looked upon as one of the
best Linotype compositors in the state.
Among his fellow-workers he was looked
upon as the soul of honor and was pos
sessed of a wonderful fund of information.
He has no relatives living in Macon and
only one sister, Mrs. Barrett, of Tampa,
Fla., who has been notified of hey brothers’
death. His parents are dead. He jras
born in in Sayanpah and came from that
place to Macon.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been made. His friends are awaiting word
from hjs sister giving direction as to the
disposition of the remains. .

Between John C. Eads & Co. and Joseph N. Neel.
On August 1 the forces of both organizations wil
rally beneath a single standard. The loyal sentimentl
of every friend is in warm sympathy with the move

A Splendid Expedient
Is what they say when discussing the alliance. Our
busy, ambitious minds are full of new ideas, brilliant
policies and broad-gauged methods.
In the interim, we will close out all the princi
pal stocks in both stores at prices that do not cover
actual cost. Concord between Eads and Neel means
more profit for you and larger success for the busi
ness.

Collarsand Cuffs and Manhattan Shirts is affected
You may go through the store and secure values that

space is too costly to use lavishly.
