Novel Use of Compressed Air. i novel use of compressed air Is made by some railway companies In some of the Southern States of America, says the Railway News. When the loads of cotton for export are being taken to the coast, there is alwnys some danger of such high ly inflammable material becoming damaged through sparks from the locomotives. To prevent this, the locomotive boilers are filled with compressed air. A train load of several thousand, bales of cotton can be hauled by these locomotives at a rate of twelve miles an hour, although no fire whatever is used In working them. tJL The Tongue J s.iscepti- desk a jo”ion of the Chicago Tr'.h une article and following this de nounced it as a deliberate and un- wlii-’b. the story said, qualified falsehood, and the man who j hie of documentary proof, wrote it* and the man who inspired At the conclusion of the readin it as deliberate and malicious liars.|Senator Tillman said, amid laughter: Tillman’s Face a Study. !

Dr. Nunnally Withdraws, Throws his Support to Russell. He Gives His Side of the Controversy Which Caused Bailey to Bitterly Denounce the Executive Yesterday. Chandler was Sent as a Missionary to the Democrats, he Says. Washington, May 17—Senator Till man today received from former Sen ator William E. Chandler, a state ment of his course as an Intermed iary in negotiations between Presi dent Roosevelt and Senators Tlllmnn and Bailey on the railroad rate bill. The communication bears upon Senator Lodge’s denial for the pres ident of Mr. Chandler’s statement quoting the president as saying he had lost confidence In Senators For- aker, Spooner and Knox. It was offered In the senate by Senator Till man and will be printed In the Con gressional Record. Mr. Chandler, In his statement of today, reaffirms the essential por tions of the statement he made to Senator Tillman. Continuing, ho days: “Much as I regret that the haBty action of Senator Lodge and the pres ident has forced an issue between the president and myself, the ex treme language he used makes such issue unavoidable and I cannot shrink from or evade it, although I cannot use toward the chief e^ecutlvo of the nation language like his own. Upon our respective statements I submit the controversy with donfldonco to the judgment of those who know me. For those who do not know me there is fortunately circumstantial evidence of a high order which shows that tho president could not have omitted to make in substance the statement which he denies. Nor could ho have then made the whole statement which he now substitutes. predominant characteristic was the lgre« the handle of l;is muck rake, I* Atlanta, Ga., May 17.—Dr. G. A.
