No one adequately reali tese the immense agricultural resources of th< immense prarie through which the czar and Prince Khilkoff are running an iron highway 8.000 miles long. \m-ri t•« at Work Americans are supplying many of the rails and American engineers are every where.

The testimony of these Americana ! was favorable to the labor value of the Si- I berlan workman.

The czar has been plentifully placed with cold douches of scepticism, ridicule* an dscorn. The diplomats and the sover eigns and the ministers of the world have no faith in the humaniarian enthusiasm of i the young emperor. Even among his own ministers there are many who have little sympathy with his chivalrous crusade of peace. But Nicholas II means business and he is going through this business as best he can with such support as he can command. "If there be any real enthusiasm of hu manity anywhere in the world it ought, to be easily evoked and strongly expressed in support of his valorous declaration of war against the ruinous armaments of the modern world. One thing Americans may be sure. The more enthusiastically they make manifest and effective their response to the appeal of the young enfperor. the better it will be for the future relations of tho two countries. "The United States after the Russian Empire, is the greatest human aggregate that will be represented at the conference. If th .American delegates is well chosen and he is backed by the hearty and visible manifestation of popular support the new world may even sooner than was anticipa ted, wield a dominating influence in the decisions of the Areopagus of Europe.” DREYFUS CASE. ;Court of Cassation Has De cided to Accent Bard’s Conclusions, By Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. 39. —The navy depart ment, which was early in the field to se cure a good wharf and site for a naval sta tion at Honolulu, has made no Buch effort ; to secure similar advantages in Cuba. It Ils understood that the department does not see the necessity for anything more than a coaling station on some point of South . ern Cuba, Guantanamo or some other j place near, and even this, in view of the I possession by the United States of Porto Rico, does not making such a coaling sta tion neceßasry. The officers of the navy regard Havana as a very unhealthy place and say the naval station at Key West answers every purpose of a naval station or coaling sta tion in Havana. THIRD WILL REMAIN. The Governor Nolified that They Will Not Go to Seventh Corps. Special to The News. •Atlanta, Oct. 29. —Gov. Atkinson has re ceived a communication from Adjutant. General Corbin in regard to the request i made by him some time ago to allow the Third Georgia regiment to be transferred to the Seventh Army corps in command of General iLeee. The communication from the adjutant general was a short one. and stated that nothing could be done at the present time for jUhe Third Geor gia, as the Seventh corps had been com : pleted, and no other regiments were nec essary. Gen. Corbin expressed the hope, however, that the Third Georgia would have a chance to see active service, and that arose the department would be taken care of by ’the war department. The letter inferred that the retention of | the Second Georgia in the service after it ‘had been ordered mustered out was as much as this state could expect of the government. Gov. Atkinson stated last night that he regretted that Ms request in regard to the Third regiment could not be granted, but was gratified to learn that the iwar department had decided to allow the Sec ond to remain In the field instead of being mustered out. ’ LOLA SMALL. r Daughter of the Evangelist Has Been Discharged. By Associated Press. Parkersburg, W. Va., Get. 29.—-Lola Small, daughter of Rev. Sam Small, the famous evangelist, who played here Thursday night with Hoyt’s "A Strange in New York” company, was dismissed from the company, having received the usual two weeks’ notice from the man agement to leave their employ. -Miss Small, who made her theatrical de but three weeks ago at Hackensack. N. J., took the part with the company of Vir ginia Pride, but her ability as an actress, asidefrom her shapely form in tights in the part she took, did not suit the man agement, and after many clashes Hoyt & McKee, before the company departed for .Marietta, Ohio, notified her 'by the cus tomary “blue envelope” to quit. Her part in the play was an inferior one •with few lines and fewer opportunities and her acting was only ordinary. She was unable to control her feelings and hide fiom the audience tjhe fact that she was angry over the clash between the management and herself, and the large audience that expected to see in a clever role the actress who was featured here by her employers as “the beautiful and talented daughter of Rev. Sam Small, who had gotten more divorce decrees than any living woman,” was greatly disap pointed'. AT POLICE STATION. A Busy Session for Judge Freeman this Morning. The case which Detective Alex Clarke succeeded in running down a few days ago was brought up in the Recorder’s court this morning. The case was that against Kessler Bros., who were charged with receiving stolen goods. The goods were shipped here some time ago from New York to Kessler Bros, by an expressman in that city named Goldstein. Detective Clarke did a good piece of work in unearthing the the case, but he was unable to convict his men as there was no evidence to show that they knew the goods were stolen. Goldstein, who is at present in a New York prison, made an affidavit to the effect that Kessler Bros, were working in co-operation with him and that they had been doing this for some time. His testimony did not bear any sig nature except his own. and the law re quires that two witnesses shall corroborate the statement of a prisoner when he is tes tifying against another. As the two wit nesses could not be secured it was neces sary to dismiss* the case against Kessler Bros. Several negroes were tried thL morning for stealing from the ruins of the Winn- Johnson fire. Ira Geter was bound over to tne city court under a $lO bond. Will Bell was dismissed. Armon Culpepper was bound over under a SIOO 'bond for the same offense as Geter. Willie McClendon was fined $2.50 for be ing drunX- Alex Furgeson was bound over under a S2OO bond for larceny. Ed McKenny was fined $2.50 for. sleeping in a hack. Hear Hon. N. E.

By Associated Press. New York, Oct. 29—Colonel George E. Waring, Jr., died of yellow fever today at his home in this city, where he has been since he arrived from Hlavana on the Yucatan on Tuesday last. He was 67 years of age. Dr. Blauvelt, who has been attending Colonel Waring during his illness, was summoned to the 'house this morning. He found 'Waring attacked with black vonilt. This symptom continued all the morning without cessation. Everythihng possible was done for the dying man but he only lived until a quar ter to S. President Murphey, of the board of health, was informed of the death of Waring within five minutes after it oc curred. Dr. Roberts, the sanitary super intendent, was ordered to have the body placed in a hermetically sealed casket im mediately. Murphy also gave orders that every precaution be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. Waring had been sent to Havana as a special commissioner from this govern ment to ascertain the exact sanitary con ditions in that city and form ideas for the best methods tor putting the place in first-class sanitary shape.

Comegys was the first witness before the war investigating commission today. He was medical purveyor here during the life of Camp Thomas. He admitted that he had refused to fill some requisitions from the hospital of the second division of the 'third corps because he was satisfied that the articles demand ed were not needed. 'He 'accounted so the sickness at Camp Thomas by saying that the men did not know how to take care of themselves. “They seemed to think,” he said, “that when they put on uniforms there was nothing else to do; that they could sim ply enjoy themselves and the officers would do the rest.” 'He thought the colonels and regimental surgeons were to blame. Lieut. James .M, Arrasmith, who acted as chief commissary, said that while in the beginning there was some congestion on the transportation lines there had never been any shortage of supplies. There was constantly on hand an average of 1.500,00 rations. He thought the prin cipal trouble in regard to the rations was in 'the cooking. Lieut. Arrastmiih said the sinks were badly oared for and ‘the etench therefrom at the camp at night was simply stifling. He also said the dis cipline was very slack. Doctors Baxter and Boyd, local physi cians. were called to testify with regard to the ease of ■Sergeant Frank, who died during the summer, as a result of a rail road accident. Dr. Baxter said that not withstanding that the man was in a pro found shock after the accident Dr. Hub bard, the surgeon of his regiment, insist ed upon moving the wounded man to Chickamauga.

BRIGADE ARE BOTH 111 MAEOM' General Compton Arrived in City Last Night With Members of His Staff and is Quartered al Brown House, JOE LEITER. He is Now Seeking to Control the Iron and Steel Plant of the Country. By Associated Press. New York. Oct. 29—A special to the Times from Providence says: It is stated on authority which appears to be unquestionable that Joseph Leiter, of Chicago, has purchased the Rhode Is land Locomotive works and that it is his purpose to begin the manufacture of loco motives under the patents -the concern holds and also manufacture the Wheelock stationary engine under patents owned by a Chicago firm. The price paid for the property cannot be learned but it is thought to be near a million dollars. Mr. Leiter is understood to represent a syndicate of rich iron and steel men, who are bent upon monopoliz- I ing all the big plants like the Rhode Island ! Locomotive works. He has been in -the city during the past | two weeks on three different occasions and ; each time be stopped at the exclusive I Hope Club. This was probably in pur suance of the policy of the people inter- j ested to keep all information regarding I the deal from the* public. Eugene Mason, who bid the property in i at the last sale, said as far as he knew no | definite plans were under way. Herbert J. I Wells, president of the Rhode Island Hos pital Trust Coinpany, which is trustee for ! the locomotive works was seen at the ' bank and while he did not say there were ' no plans for a sale of the property under consideration, he did say they had not ; reached a point where he cared to do any I talking about them. He seemed somewhat surprised that any | information of the deal had become public | and declined to state with whom the deal i was being effected, either in behalf of -the I owners of the property or the prospective i buyers. At one time tli.g Rhode Island Locomo- ■ live works formed one of the largest man- j ufacturing concerns in the state. The ; plant was originally built for the manu- ‘ facture of the Burnside rifles and during } the civil war many thousands of arms were made. Then locomotives were made here and sent all over the world, but trouble came and the concern failed. Since that time it has been practically idle. At the sale of the property last spring one of the bidders was Frederick Sayles, of Pawtucket, who wanted the property to turn it into a cotton manufacturing plant. But evidently the price was too high and Mr. Mason, representing the bondholders bid it in. The capacity of the factory is large. When running on full time it gave em ployment to 1,000 hands.
