A meeting of the Chamber of Com merce la called for 4 o'clock tomor row afternoon to urge the mayor ana council to treat liberally the petition of the Central of Georgia railway for certain grants of land In Tybeo, on which the company wants to erect additional shops. An official whose name cannot be mentioned said on Saturday that the expenditure of a vast amount of money by the Central meant more than the extension of the immense shops. It meant a new union depot The official would not give the plana of the company, but what he said, and from other sources, It la learned that the new union depot la practically agreed upon, even the exact loca tion. In fact, there are two plans, and one or the other will be adopted and carried out before the next Christ mas. It is understood that one of these plans contemplates that the depot proper, where the trains will run through and without backing In as at present, is to be located on that portion of the old coni pres* between Plum and Poplar streets. The pres ent depot la to furnish the entrance. The difficulty that tho company has to contend with In th adoption of this plan Is Fifth street, and this Is said to be easily overcome. All the trains over the Central, and over all the railroad* entering Macon, will pass through tho depot, or enter 1* and back out. This part of the de pot will be devoted entirely to tho trains, the present depot furnishing the entrance for the traveling public and the waiting rooms, baggage and mall rooms, restaurant and general offices. These rooms and offices will be placed where tho tracks are now, and on either side, leaving a wldo walkway, open to the public, between them. This walkway will he at least fifty feet wide, and will be over four hundred feet long, and paved the same as a street. The passenger enters from Fourth street as la now' done, and he will have long and commodious waiting rooms Instead of the small rooms as at present provided. F.very rnllwny official, with whom he may have any business, can be found under tho big roof, along the sides of the wnfRwny. Ho will pass through this walkway and • take his train under th<* train shed, which will embrace almost, the entire block now occupied with the trestles that were used by the old compress. It Is said that It Is possible that a terminal company will bo organized to build this new depot, but that If such a company falls of organisation the Central will itself build It. It can readily be seen how the trains of tho Central, the Georgia Southern and Florida, the Georgia and tho Ma con and Birmingham can use this depot with no more than n chnngc of tho switches, but the problem of how It Is to be used by the Southern and tho Macon, Dublin and Savannah Is up to the engineers, and it Is said that they have aolved it Thla, being true, all the trains that enter Macon will use the new depot. The Fifth street problem !s to be overcome by an underpass. It Is lnr ttmated that the order for the steel structural pieces for the other urder- pssses, orders for which must bo given several months In advance, In cludes the steel for this. However, this Is not certain.. As was stated yesterday, the mem bers of council who went over the re servo where the land Is nsked for, were practically unanimous for a fa vorable report on the Central's peti tion. which sets out In full what will be done, without mentioning the new union depot Then, In the opinion of the offlc’al quoted, when tho petition h granted the new union depot Is as sured. Thst It is a part of the pro. posed Improvements there seems to be no doubt. Talks with citizens of all clashes fall to find a man who Is not In favor of granting the petition of tho com pany. proper division superintendent and by the general superintendent in turn, and that the requests In question had noi been presented to these subordinate off! “'flis representatives of the engineers claim thst most of the matters they de sire to present to the general manager have already been submitted to the di vision and gen -- * 1— "Upon sxan. — that the committee eliminate from their petition to the general manager such requests as have not been aubmttt the division superintendents and gen eral superintendent, and thst If desired they be taken up In regular course with these subordinate officers. "As to the remaining requests, recommend that the general manager waive any question oh to whether the appeal has been pending and promptly meet with the committee and take up for settlement those matters thtu. have In fact and aubatance been passed by the subordinate officers. "In the future commend that a reasonable time be fixed within which any appeal to the general manager must ho taken, and also that a reasonable time be fixed within which subordinate officers ehnll pass upon requests pre sented to them." OSCAR REID’S CASE SOLDIER DISCHARGED ACCOUNT BROWNSVILLE SHOOT-UP * 8TILL_FIQHT8, WASHINGTON, Dec. (1—The bloody affray at Brownsville, Texaa, which re HUltefi m the discharge from the army by President Roosevelt of the negm troopH alleged to have b«*n Implicated, will come up for hearing again tomor row before the United States supreme court. At this hearing the members of tho supreme bench will listen to arguments In tho case of the former negro sol dier, Oscar Reid, who was dismissed from the sorvice without honor account of his alleged participation In the Brownsville affair. Tho suit was Instituted by Reid in the United States circuit court for southern New York for pay during the time of his enlistment. The verdict of that court was against him and he brought an appeal to the supreme court on tho ground that the preside had exceeded his constitutional pow In dismissing tho three companlos without a trial by courtinartlal. In the case of negro soldiers who hUve upplled for re-cnllstment In the army, measures to permit such action will probably bo considered by con gress. One. of these applications Is from Sergeant Mingo Sanders, a mem ber of the discharged bnttalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who has had thirty years' service In the army. It Is understood the president dts 1 approved tho application on the gen eral ground that tho negro has not produced satisfactory or sufficient proof of hls Innocence, and that, hav Ing failed to do so within three months of his discharge, the statute governing such cases restrains the president from acting. Ho token the ground that bills now pending before the senato propose giving him authority to re- enllst soldiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment, find some measure pvobabry will bn enacted at the next session of congress. STRIKE AVERTED OH PENNSYLVANIA R. R. MUTUAL CONCESSIONS DETWEEN WESTERN BNQINEER8 AND ROAD BROUGHT THE END. WASHINGTON, Dec. I.—A successful Issue of the conference between repre sentatives of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers and of the Pennsyl vania Railroad lines west of Pittsbuig and the board of mediation, consisting of Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate commerce commission, and Dr. Charlea P. Neill, commissioner of labor, was reached Ust night. When the controversy was submlttad to the board the engineers on the lines west of Pittsburg had voted to strike unless thay could obtain redress of their grievances. After careful consid eration Chairman Knapp and Dr. Neill proposed a plan of adjustment which eventually proved satisfactory to both ■'dee. At the conference with General Man ager Peck, of the Pennsylvania lines. of the Rrotherhnob. Chairman Knapp and Dr. Nell) eubmltted their proposed agreement. It was arcepted by both sides y an exchange In writing. A atatement Issued by ChMlrman Knspj nd Dr. Nefll follows In substance: "The general committee of adjustment of the engineers desired to present cer the general manager declined to take up the requests on the ground that It Is the settled rule of mid lines that the gen eral manager will not take up requests of employes unless they have been pre- vlously presented to >nd refused by the Loh’s Cafe 616 Mulberry et Only Flret-cfass Restaurant In the City for Ladiee and Gentlemen.

THI8 CONDITION, WITH CAPITAL AWAITING INVESTMENT, ARE STRONG FEATURE8 OF SITUATION. NEW YORK, Deo. I—The stock market as a medium for the expres sion of speculative opinions showed the piny of strong contending force* .dur ing almost tho whole of last week. There were days of marked strength and. days of acute weakneits and othor days When opposing movements were going on at the aamv time In great confusion. The opposing opinions ranged themselves broadly on the con servative view of danger from over •peculation on the one aide and on the confidence In the security of abundant money and bonking resources to sus tain the speculation on the other. The lattor view was not altored material ly by the Increased firmness In tho money market caused by the^bsorp* tlon of resources In many directions, the margin of surplus supplies still remaining being pointed to as ample ossiirnnc,. of means to retain specula tive holdings with safety. New lesuee In Demand. The principal avenue of absorption of available resources et present Is through the Issue of new securities. The readiness with which these pew issues have been absorbed and the large resources of capital awaiting In vestment thus Indicated have fceen pointed to as one of the strongest features of the situation. While thle Is true there Is the modifying consid eration that a largo proportion of the recent new financing Is in the form of refunding short time obligations whleh were put out by the great corporations In the period of financial stress from which th<* country Is emerging and for which extravagant rates Interest were paid. The new financing reveals ma terial relief from the onerous rates paid on the earlier temporary obliga tions. The lower prices offered for the now securities constitute «n at traction for capital. Liquidation of Foreign Holdings. Another source of pressure Involved In the sustained high level of prices for ftecurltles comes from the pereta- teat liquidation of foreign holdings of American securities.

Interior demands upon New York for currency were extraordinar ily light through the autumn nnd the fact that the treasury department was withdrawing funds from tho money market and Is still doing so, throws further light on the unusual conditions fklstfng. This condition Is due of courts, to the ftict of the huge In jection Into the circulation to meet the panic requirements last year. Requirements last year have never _ *n subtracted against while the activity of trade haa not been restored to giee that makes anything like the for- i»ei requirements for currency or cred its. The reported lull In the iron and Steel trade, the reactionary tendency III the copper market, the halt In the In crease In railroad freight movement with the early approach to completion of the grain and cotton movement nnd the mod erating of (tie ret* of expansion of tienk Hearings are pointed to In confirmation of a conservative attitude.
