ORDER BY PRESIDENT.
Transports Must Have Army Surgeons and
JCarry Hospital Stores.
New York. July 27 —From now on. by
direction of Surgepn General Sternberg,
every army transport ship will have as
signed to it an assistant surgeon of the
army. All physicians and surgeons not
attached to the medical department of the
army will be removed from transports and
their places will be taken by army sur
geons. Heretofore doctors from civil life
have been assigned to transports to which
wounded and sick were consigned. The
new order of the surgeon general relieves
them of further duly
This new arrangement was brought
about by reports that reached Washington
of the character of the accommodations
and food furnished to the sick and wound
ed who were brought north on the Olivette
and the Seneca. The overloading of both
these transports and the character of the
topi furnished will be made the subject
of ait onicjjl investigation. Presllent Mc-
Kinley does not propose to have any more
of the army's invalids neglected if he can
help it. It was by his direction that the
new order in relation to transports was
issued.
Until all of the sick and wounded who
are coming home to get well are brought
home every transport that goes to Cuba
will be loaded with them for the return
voyage. It will be the business of the
surgeon attached to each ship to see that
only so many as can be comfortably taken
care of shall be received. Further than
that, all transports sailing for Cuba or
Porto Rico in the future will carry hospital
stores, drugs and medicines; and surgical
instruments.

EAGAN TALKS
ABOUT PEACHES
Central Official Interviewed
Relative to the Crop and
Returns.
Today's Atlanta Constitution contains
; the following interesting interview with
I 'Vice President Egan, of the Central, who
| has Just returned from the peach districts:
"The peach crop and the peach industry
in Georgia.” said he. “has grown to be
something really wonderful. I have just
returned from the peach-growing districts,
and I have been greatly surprised at what
1 saw, and me enormity this business has
attained. This is probably the largest crop
this state has ever seen—certainly the
largest for a number of years. The ship
ments have been tremendous, and there
seems to be a good market for Georgia
peaches everywhere.
"In 1895 the Central road hauled 739 cars
of peaches. In 1896 we hauled only 380
cars, as the crop was short. This year we
have already hauled 1,600 car loads, and
from present indications we will handle
460 ears before the season is over. These
figures may seem large, but they are posi
tive. The Central road alone has hauled
a number of peaches sufficient to give
every person in the United States and
Canada two peaches each.
"The Fort Valley and Marshallville dis
tricts seem to be the most prosperous this
year. I believe fully a million and a half
of dollars will be received there from
peach shipments. The money made by
these growers is better than a Klondike
investment by far. We have a section
hand down the road owning a small peach
orchard who has averaged $2.50 a tree so
far. The Hale grove at Fort Valley con
tains 200,000 trees, and although thousands
of crates have already been shipped, the
trues looked as if they had never been
touched when I was there a few days ago.
I cannot say how much these trees will
average, but even if they only go $2 each,
a S4(H>,OOO income in one season is not a
bad business tine man frppi the North
bought an orchard down there the other
day, paying SIB,OOO for It. I am told that
he has already made SIOO,OOO profit this
year.
"The peach districts around Fort Valley
seem to be the best this year. The fruit
there is plentiful and very fine. Scales
have appeared on the trees around Tifton,
and the crop there does not seem so good.
The fruit men say they can successfully
wipe out this evil in course of time. The
crops are good in -Putnam county.
"What Georgia needs now is evaporators
and canning industries. There is a mint
of money tn both veptpres, as this is the
coming peach-growing state yf |he eiqire
country. ■ *
"The melon erop Is also good this year.
Our statistics show' that there are 2,000
more acres in melons along our line than
last year. The fruit seems to be better,
and large quantities are being shipped.”

CALL ISSUED
For a National Meeting to Consider United
States' Foreign Policy.
Chicagofi, July 28.—The Civic Federation
of Chicago has issued the following.
' Thp undersigned deem it desirable that
a national conference be convened at an
early date to consider the future foreign
policy of the United tSates, The war with
Spain gives promise of the overthrow of
Spanish power in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines and other of that country’s
colonial possessions. The question of what
disposition the United States should .make
of these possessions when peace is reached
is none too soon in engaging the thought of
our people. This question impresses us as
being one of the most serious the American
people have had to consider. It is a new
question and one upon wlr.cn heretofore
very little thought has been bestowed by
a great majority of our people. Whethepthe
foreign policy of the 'fathers’ shoul 1 be ad
hered to or departed from is enough to
challenge the most serious consideration
of our ablest and most thoughtful men.
In our opinion, this conference should be
composed of men from all parts of the
country, without regard to parfy affilia
tions, irrespective of whether they are for
or against a policy of territorial expansion,
and men whose ability, position and char
acter entitle their opinions to the respect
and consideration of the people.
WITH CHEERS
Spanish Prisoners at Searcy's Island Greet
ed American Sailors.
Portsmouth. N. H., July 28. —It has been
learned that Spanish prisoners on Seavey’s
island made an unexpected demonstration
Saturday afternoon. As the United States
steamer Frolic passed the prison stockade
from the navy yard, bound for Cuba, the
men ran close to the dead line on the
shore and watched her earnestly. AVhen
directly opostte the island one of the pris
oners shouted. "A’iva los Americanos!”
This was followed by an almost wiki cheer
from the others. "Bravo. Bravo. America
nos’” The Froslic responded to the cheer
from the shore by blowing her whistle
three times, while the crew cheered back.

BALLOONS IN WAR.
A Novel Battle In Cloudland Nearly Thir
ty Years Ago.
The announcement that the balloon is
destined to play a rote in the present war
with Spain recalls the aeronautic experi
ments made by the French during the
great war In 1870 and 1871. As early as
1792 balloons were used for military sig
naling in France. But in our times dur
ing the siege of Paris by the German
troops frequent attempts were made by
Frenchmen to ooiumunicate with those
inside the beleaguered city and to dis
patch men and matter from the capital by
means of balloons. In Paris itself, under
the direction of Postmaster Rainport, a
balloon post and transjiort service was
i established for carrying persons and gov
ernmental as well us private mail matter
from the besieged capital. Among the
public men leaving tho city in this way
M. Gambetta will ever be remembered.
Homing pigeons were also sent by this
route to carry news back to Paris. A total
of 66 ljulloons, according to Tissandier’s
”En Ballon Pendant le Siege de Paris,”
left the besieged city, and 168 persons, 10,-
194 kilograms of postal matter, including
3,000,000 letters, 363 homers, five dogs and
two boxes of dynamite, were dispatched
by tho aerial route. Os the balloons 52
descended in France, five in Belgium, four
in Holland, two in Germany and one in
Norway. Only five of them were captured
by the Germans, and two were never heard
of, having been lost, in the ocean.
Os all voyages of that time, however,
none could compare for exciting and peril
ous incidents with that of the well known
aeronaut, M. Nadar, who left Tours for
Paris with important government dis
patches at 6 o’clock one fine December
morning. At 11 he was in view of the
capital on the Seine. While floating about
3,000 meters above Fort Charenton, Nadar
suddenly observed a second balloon on the
horizon. Thinking it to lie one leaving
Paris, the French aeronaut at once dis
played the tricolor of his country, and the
other balloon vespoiidid by exhibiting the
same flag. Gradually the two balloons
approached one another, being drawn in
the same direction by the same currents
of air. When they wore separated by only
a short distance, several explosions were
heard. The stranger had commenced to
fire shots at Nadar’s balloon, the int.re
pide, which regun to descend rapidly. The
French flag had by this time hi ■on replaced
in the other balloon by the Prussian col
ors. The Parisians, who were watching
the affair from the forts below, and who
now realized the true character and object
of the last arrival, cried out that their
plucky compatriot was lost, but they were
mistaken.
Nadar had scrambled from the car up
the network of ids airship after the first
shot from the enemy to stop a hole made
in the tissue. Presently lie descended to
the car as the balloon righted itself, and,
throwing out a quantity of ballast, caused
it to rise higher and higher. Then, seiz
ing his rille, he fired shots with rapid suc
cession intq the Prussian, which suddenly
split and sunk to the earth. On reaching
the ground a detachment of uhlans, who
had been watching the combat from the
plain, picked up the German aeronauts
and rode off to tho Prussian outposts.
Nadar then alighted in safety within tho
girdle of the Paris forts, meeting with an
enthusiastic ovation for his victory in the
first balloon duel.—Baltimore Sun.
