Leander Newton Trammell was born in Habersham county, June 5, 1830. He ctune of f|eoteh-Irish s'.ock and had a grand father in the Revolutionary war. His fa ther came to Georgia from Union, S. C., and settled In Habersham county, where he lived the life of a farmer. It was here that Mr. Trammell was born and reared. At nineteen he entered Hiawassee Col lege in Tennessee. In 1856, he attended a law school at Lebanon, Te'nn. In 1861 he began the practice of law as a member of the firm of McConnell & Trammell. Ip the same year he was elected to repre sent Catoosa county in the Legislature and In 1863 was re-elected. In March, 1862, he entered the army as quartermaster, with ilie rank of captain. At the close of the war he resumed the practice of law in Gordon county. He was a member of the Constitutional Con vention of 1867 and 1868 and belonged to a band of fourteen known as Hancock Pa triots, whose courage saved the state to white supremacy. In 1870 he was chosen as president of the Senate. When Gov. Bullock resigned he became Governor pro tem. or the slate, but was not allowed to perform the duties of that oilice. He tvas a Tilden elector in 1876, and a member of the Congressional Convention In 1877. In 1881 he was presi dent of the State Democratic Convention, and in 1882 and 18S3 chairman of the Dem ocratic Executive Committee. In ISSI he was appointed to the State Railroad Commission by Gov. Colquitt. Since that time he has been successively reappointed by Govs. Northen and Can dler, the last appointment being for the term of six years. In 1890 he was chosen chairman of the commission. Col. Trammell was married in 1856 to Miss Zenobia Barclay. He leaves eight children, Mrs. Samuel 6. Scott of Atlan ta, Paul B. Trammell of Atlanta, Mrs. George L. Morris of Birmingham, Ala., TVlldman J. Trammell of Marietta, Mrs. Walter L. Sessions of Marietta, Mrs. Prank E. Boston of Atlanta, Mrs. Mar garet Pomeroy of Marietta, and Leander Newton Trammell, Jr., of Marietta. He was a member of the Masonic order and a prominent member of Ihe Methodist Church. Col. Trammell's death caused much sorrow at the Capitol. By order of Gov. Candler, the State House flag'has been floating all day at half-mast. Already there is talk as to who will succeed Col. Trammell as a member of the Railroad Commission. The office of chairman hns a salary of $2,500 a year at tached, and the appointment Is for six years, of which one has expired. As the commissioners select their own chairman, however, it lies only with the Governor to appoint a man to fill the vacancy. Col. Trammell has been chairman on account of being connected with the commission longer than Judge Atkinson or Mr. Cren shaw. so it is very likely that Mr. Cren shaw will be the next chairman—that is, If the precedent set forth In the case of Col. Trammell Is carried out. He has been a member of the board longer than Judge Atkinson. - There have been several names men tioned for the vacant place already. Among them are J. Pope Brown of Pu laski county, president of the State Agri cultural Society: James Robertson of Habersham county, who was a member of the commission before, and Paul Tram mell. son of the deceased commissioner. They are not understood to be appli cants, but are looked upon as suitable men and possibilities. RACE TROUBLE IS OX. Military Company Cnlled Ont nt Evergreen, Ain. Mobile, Ala., June 29.—Gov.

Mr. Lewis *atd he was drawn into a conference held this evening, at which the Democratic platform, vice presidency and chairmanship of the National Com mittee were discussed In turn. “I am satisfied," said Mr. Lewis, “that Bryan is opposed to the omission in the finan cial plank of the platform of a direct de mand for the free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to I.’ • TOWN'E has faith. He Believes Ilia Chances of Nomina tion Are Good. • Sioux City, la., June 29.—"Mr. Towne, will you state what you regard as the strongest reason why you should be nom inated at Kansas City?” was asked the Populist vice presidential nominee to night as he left his train. "Well," said Mr. Towne, "of cours#, reasons of that character seem very num erous and conclusive to me. One strong consideration in my judgment is this: "In order to win this election two things must be done: We must pull together the forces which in 1896 allied themselves against the Republican party and we must go into the camp of the opposition with a large number of recruits. “In my judgment the most Important question at the present moment and the one destined to overshadow all others in the discussion of the campaign is the ques tion of imperialism. "My name will be presented to the Na tional Democratic Convenlion and strength of which I am already assured and the general feeling of friendliness towards me by Democrats lead me to declare my nomination as very probable."

Bryan, was interviewed to-day, just prior to his departure for Kansas City with the Pennsylvania dele gates. When asked if he would accept the nomination If it were tendered him, he replied: “That is hardly a fair question. It haa not been offered to me, and it is not likely to be." Mr. Pattison expressed the opinion that it is tob early to say who will be the nominee, and added: “If New York unites upon a candidate and presents him to the convention, I be lieve that the West, particularly, will fall into line, and that Mr. Bryan's running mate will be from the Empire State.’* WILL BF, A GREAT CROWD. Kansas City Will Have a Host of Visitors.

BATTLESHIPS NEEDED. Minister of Marine So Declared In the Deputies’ Chamber. Paris, June 29.—1n the Chamber of Dep uties to-day, during the debate on the gov ernment's naval programme, the Minis ter of Marine, M. deLanessan, replying to criticisms, passed upon the various sizes of war vessels contemplated, upheld the government’s idea uiat France needed battleships to defend the coast, and also cruisers to defend the colonies. Torpedo boats and submarine vessels were useful, he admitted, but they alone could not protect the coast. M. dekanessan declared that France was reinforcing her naval arm, not with the alms of aggression, but In order to maintain the economic Interest and nation al honor of France. M. Caillaux, minister of finance, who defended the programme of the govern ment from a financial viewpoint, said that the budget, with normal resources, could meet the fresh saerifldes, amounting to 25,000.000 francs annually, that were re quired by the measure. The chamber rejected a counter bill pro posing td fix the total expenditure at 619,- 000,000 francs, instead of 476,000,000. DIDN’T EAT TO ADS TOO I. S. Senator Baron Denies the Story Sent Ont From Mncon. Washington. June 29.—Senator Bacon of Georgia arrived in Washington last night. He is much anftoyed at the story recently sent out from Macon to the effect that he had been poisoned and made desperately ill by eating toadstools, mistaking them for mushrooms. He says the report was entirely without foundation, and he is at a loss to understand how it originated, as he was not in Macon at the time Indi cated. The Senator not only was not 111 then, but has been In perfect health since. In fact, with the exception of an accident which happened to him In Washington last winter, he has not been ill from any cause for years. _ —Congressman Long of Kansas sent one of his constituents at Newton some radish seeds several months ago .Vow the man has sent hU representative a radish eighteen Inches long and four Inches in circumference to prove that government seed* will really grow some thing THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1900. PRESIDENT IS CONFIDENT. He Believes the Situation in China Has Improved. Washington, June 29.—The President is quitting Washington for his Canton home to-night full of confidence that the situa tion In China has Improved, thought it is fair to say the members of his official family do not agree with him in that conclusion. Indeed, the day’s news, limited though it was to a single cable gram from Admiral Kempff and the pre para4ion of Instructions to Gen. Chaffee, set out nothing calculated to strengthen the hopes of the friends of the foreign min isters and the missionaries, who have now been silent for fully two weeks. Kompff's cablegram was a disappoint ment in his confession that he knew noth ing of the whereabouts of the missing peo ple, and there are many expressions of wonder that neither that officer nor any of the foreign naval commanders at Taku have been Ingenious enough to establish some system of spying so as to learn with in two weeks what has taken place at Pekin. Still, it is said at the navy department that Admiral Kempff apparently has done as well as any of the other commanders in getting the news, and that it would be manifestly unfair to pronounce criticism of him until all the facts develop If there has been ar.y fault. Admiral Remey, who should arrive at Taku within a week, according to the short message he sent to-day from Hong Kong, will make the fact manifest. Relative to the interesting story that an international accord has been arrived at as to the pro tempore settlement of the Chinese trouble, state department officials say that while the United States is not a party to such an agreement, s lf the Euro pean Powers and Japan to a understanding on the basts set out, the re sult should be welcomed by all who have no selfish designs to satisfy. It is. of course, not yet possible to predict accur ately what attitude the United. States would assume officially towards such a combination, nor whether the government could be induced to enter into the common agreement except with some special reser vations made necessary by a desire to preserve the unbroken traditions of the United States in their relations with for eign nations. Secretary Root devoted the afternoon to the preparation of instructions to Brig. Gen. Chaffee, who has been assigned to the command of the troops ordered to v China, and after a conference, the President approved them with only a few verbal changes that did not alter their general character. Al though Secretary Root would not make public the text of Gen. Chaffee’s instruc tions, he said that, generally speaking, Gen. Chaffee had been ordered to look out for the United States In China, to avoid entangling alliances, to act concurrently with the other Powers, where it was to the general interest to do so, and in a word, to continue the policy that has marked the actions of the United States government since the beginning of the Bgxer troubles in China. These instruc tions wtil be telegraphed to Gen. Chaffee at San Francisco in order to reach him before his departure on the transport Grant Sunday evening. Secretary’ Root said that in case the progress of events made it necessary, it would be an easy matter to modify Gen. Chaffee’s instruc tions by cable to Nagasaki, which will he the first port viisted by the Grant after her departure from San Francisco. Secretary Root was asked if any more troops would be ordered to China, and he replied, "Not yet,” but intimated that the further action of the War Depart ment in that matter would be governed entirely by the exigencies of the situa tion. To-day's instructions are supple mentary to his original orders "to pro ceed to Pekin by way of Nagasaki and Taku.” The following statement is published by’ the War Department: ’’The War Department is In daily re ceipt of letters and telegrams from all sections of the country tendering the ser vices of individuals and organizations in the event of war between the United States and China. To all of these there can be but one reply. By act of Con gress, March 2, 1899, the President was authorized to raise a force of not more than 35,000 volunteers, which volunteer force 'shall continue in service only dur ing the necessity therefor, and not later than June 30, 1901,' And by the act of April 22, 1899, the volunteer army of the United States can be maintained only during the existence of war, and shall be raised and organized ‘only after Con gress has or shall have authorized the President to raise such a force or to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states. “It, therefore, rests with Congress, and not with the President, to increase the volunteer force, and while the War De partment cannot’do other than be grati fied at these prominent and spontaneous evidences of patriotism on the part of the people. It can only reply to each and every tender of assistance that there is no authority qf law for the acceptance of any volunteer troops other than those now in the service.” BONDS FOB $3,".,OOO.OOO.

Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Judge Lumpkin to-day decided In favor of the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company, in the suit filed against it by the Southern Railway, lo prevent it from ehosslng the Southern s tracks at the Decatur street crossing. Judge J. H. Lumpkin, In rendering his decision, said that the Southern had ob tained the right to cross Decatur street subject to the right of the public to use the thoroughfare.

Swiss Guides nud Canadian Lumbar* men Aware of Ita Value. From the Philadelphia Record. Tho Swiss guides fully appreciate ha value of sugar as a stimulant, and al ways carry’ It In their kits, preferring lump sugar or highly sweetened chocolate. The muscular lumbermen of Onnoda consume art cxtruordlnarlly large amount of sugar during the season in the woods, taking it In the form of molasses. They wee(ea Ihelr mllkless tea with it. make cakm with It and even add tt to their fried salt lork. which Is th* only meat they gst during (he time they are in the woods cutting lumber, and this is practically half tlm year.

But tt ie on the sugar cane plantations, perhaps, where the value of sugar (Is an article of diet Is most ap parent A pamphlet entitled "Sugar as Food.” recently Issued by th, Department of Agriculture, referring to this fact, says: "For months the chief food of the negro laborers on the plantation* Is said to ba sugar came, aud they are seen to grow strong and fat ns the season advances. They go through the hard labor of har vesting the crop end come out In fine con dition, although they began It weak and half starved." It should be added, however, that the entire juice of ripened rane Is mors com plete food than sugar, containing, as it does, qtiier food constituents besides car bohydrates. Children have n natural craving for sweet things, and the sugar of milk, which makes up from 4 10 6 per cent, of it, forms an Important part of baby'* first nutriment, taking the place of starch until the child's stomach is able to assimi late it. so that a 2-year-old child drinking two quarts of milk a day consumes in this way about three ounces of sugar. A lump of sugar contains as much nu trition as an ounce of potato and Is far more easily assimilated. In times of great exertion, as are likely to oocur In army life, this feature Is particularly valuabl*.

Til* Little Prussian Princess. From Harper's Bazar. Tho Trlncess Victoria, the only daugh ter of the Emperor and Empress of Oor many, Is being brought up In a homely Dutch fashion. The Emperor said: "I could wish no better for the men of my nation than that (he girls of Germany should follow the example of their Empress and da vote their lives, as he does, to the culti vation of the great K's—Klrehe, Kinder and Kuclie.” And It may be readily un derstood that a woman whose life la hound by church, children and kitchen will train her daughter In domestic vir tues. The little Princess knows nothing of pomp, luxury, or self-indulgence. She gels up at 6 o'clock In the morning, and until I o’clock, the hour when the Im perial family dines, is busy with her tu tors. Her mind and body are carefully watched over by her mother. Her play hours ore as systematically arranged aa her study hours. There were already aig sons when this little daughter was born 10 the house of Hohenzollern, and tho coming of a baby sister was a happy evenr. There Is rowing on the lake with her brothers, riding on her pet potty, picnicking In the woods of the park, and long botanizing expeditions, with her mother as companion, through the beau tiful grounds that surround the palace gt Potsdam. Princess Victoria has an Intense love for animals. She has pets of many klnda —doge, a big white cat, birds, fish, squir rels, and rabbits—and it is her dally de light to feed them with her own hands. She Is a quiet, amiable affectionate little girl, with much of he'r mother"s sweet, ness of nature. —The oddest labor strike of the eeasem is reported from Pittsburg, where eight girls employed In a steam laundry quft working because the proprietor* of tho establishment refused to permit them to have Ihelr shirtwaists and skirts washed st the laundry without charge.
