Big Blaze Last Night
ATLANTIC ft BIRMINGHAM SUFFERS
LOSS OP P1PTV THOUSAND.
Tufwlsy’s daily.
Fire lust niffht shortly before
11 o'clock broke out in the At*
lantic & Birmiujeham Railway's
car shed and did dami^e to the
extent of about fifty thousand
dollars. Seven passenger coaches
including Mr. Geo. Dole Wad-
ley’s private car, were destroyed
along with about fifteen freight
cars, the paint shop and other
property. In an interview with a
Herald reporter this morning
Mr. Geo. Dole Wadley, the gen
eral manager of the Atlantic and
Birmingham, stated that he was
satisfied that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. Just
whore the blaze started seems to
be a mystery. An engineer on
an incoming freight train was
the first one to discover the fire,
which seemed to break out all
over the building at once. Only
a short while before, one of the
officials was at the car shed and
says he took a look around tne
place, but did not see anything
wrong. The night watchman
was on duty, but he knew noth*
ing of the fire until the alarm
was given by the engineer,
Thoro was insurance on the pro
perty burned, but to2 what amount
the Herald was not informed
when an official was asked about
the matter.
Capl. Johnson Has The Rabbit’s Foot
The following letter was re
ceived by Capt. L. Johnson this
morning. It speaks for itself.
We havo seou the rabbit’s foo*,
and now feel almost sure that the
Captain will he successful:
“I will bo glad to send you an
indorsement to tho Governor or
I will w.llingly go to see hint in
person for you. I can never for
get your kindness to me while in
your employ, you aided mo when
I was unabte to aid myself, and
at a timo that will never be for
gotten by me; besides being un
der obligations to you I don't
feel that the Governor could ap
point a more worthy man for
Railroad Commissioner; In con
ferring this honor upon you I
feel that South Georgia will be
honored and tho position you can
fill to the cotirc satisfaction of
tho people of Georgia.

"The Yellow Peril."
From tho London Times.
For at least halt a century Euro
pean nations, with England as the
pioneer, have been telling Oriental
nations that heir only hope of sal
vation lies In adopting Western hab
its of thought and Western civilisa
tion. In order to enforce the lesson,
Europe has Invaded their territories,
slain their people, annexed their reve
nues and taken possession of their
soil. One of these Oriental nations
has taken the advice of Europe,
has mastered the ways of Western
civilization with extraordinary com
pleteness, this showing at once that
It Is very different from other yellow
races and that It Is anxious to profit
by our secular efforts for Its regen
eration. Yet, as soon as it accepts
advice and complies with our
cherished notions of progressiveness
and intelligence, Europe turns round
and denounces it as a menace
peace and civilization. For a thou
sand years that nation has enjoyed
a civilization of its own, which has
produced a physical and moral edu
cation now triumphantly enduring
ihe severest tests that can be ap
plied. It meddled with nobody, and
It asked of the world nothing but to
be let alone. Europe would not leave
it alone, and It was wise enough to
loarn from what wont on In Its vi
cinity that European Interference
would go on Increasing tr proportion
European methods against the
gresslon of a European nation, It is
declared to be the natural enemy of
tho other European nations,
which have been living in fear of its
opponent. How wise, how reason
able. how disinterested, and how en
tirely noble must Europe appear In
that nation’s eyes!

DECIDE8 AGAINST FRENCHMEN.
Venezuela 8uprtm* Tribunal Sustains
Verdict of Lower Court.
Washington, April 8.—Minister Bow-
en has cabled from Caracas to the
state department that the president ol
the Venezuela supreme court has de
cided against the French Cable com
pany in that part of the suit Involving
the forfeiture of the company’s con
cession but that It had decided ad
versely to the government in Its claim
for damages because the company had
not lived up to its concession.
Thus the case somewhat resembles
that of the Asphalt case, though In
that matter the decision while declap
log forfeiture of franchise postponed a
declaration as to the suit for damages
against the eompany.
Is said that the government is
final decision has not been rendered
because the right of appeal has not
been exhausted, and It will be n
weeks or even months before that
stage Is reachedr
It Is sal dthat the government la
not directly concerned In the French
Cable company’! proceedings at this
stage and indeed, it ia rather expected
that the company’a agents In Venexue-
la will probably be able to adjust their
differences with the government by dl
rect exchanges.

the young lady was ao severely fright-

M.n Who Went ts Explore C.nnlb.1
Island Hive Never Returned.
San Francisco. April S.—A special
dispatch to the Examiner from Yuma,
Arizona, say« It li now almost an u
■ured toot that Harry E. Miller and
Captain Oaa Oleqder have loet their
lives In on attempt to explore Tlburon
island. Whether they were killed
and eaten by cannltiau or Zert In
diana on the Island or drowned In
the turbulent water, of the gulf ol
California or were slain by some mi
randlnx bond of renegrade Yaqul In-
dlani on the main land of Sonora. Ia
a mystery that will probably never be
aolved.
The fact remains however, that tb
men are lost, and these clrcumstan
ces lead to tbe conclusion that they
met death In one of the three ways
mentioned.
Miller was a school teacher from
Los Angeles of an adventurous turn
of mind, and OIcnder was a seaman
engaged by him to accompany him on
on exploration trip to Tuburoa.
