clearing the streets through which
the prince and party were to pas*
and they were in excellent condi
tion.
The bad storm of yesterday had
impaired the decorations, but it di
not take long today to repair the
damage and nearly the entire route
was brilliant with color. Mayor Col
lins and President Doyle of the board
of aldermen and President Dolan of

escorted into the car and introduced
to Prince Henry,

the president, led the way into the
big station, where the cavalry was
lined up at '‘attention.*’ Then fol
lowed Admiral Evans, Prtnce Henry,
Assistant Secretary of State Hill,
and Mayor Collins. Other members
of the party brouht up the rear.
The crowds which came in on lo
cal trains and which filled the wait
ing rooms cheered as soon as they
caught sig7(t of the’ party. The
prince raised his hat in acknowledge
merit of the greeting and was driv
en to the Hotel Somerset.
Governor Crane and President
Eliot of Harvard University called
on Prince Henry. Governor Crane
remained a few moments. Shortly
after their departure the prince
started for the state house, where
he was received by the governor,

THE TWO ISSUES.
Candidata Dart Tells How He
Stands.
Major Ernest Dart, candidate for
the legislature desires liis positon on
tie liquor question and the city
court to be distinctly understood. He
said yesterday:
On the liquor question, I think
wnen a man takes out his license to
sell whiskey, observes the law in re
gard to the sale of it, follows care
full the judicious statutes laid down
regarding this business, he is enti
tled to the full measure of the law in
his favor, and when he does his part.
I advocate equal rights being accord
ed him, or in other ords, I am for lo
cal option.
In the city court matter, our
grand juries, at different terms of
the court have seen fit to recommend
its abolishment; our county commis
sioners have done the same thing,
the bar, of the city has done
likewise, and I consider those bodies
conservative, and certaintly having
the interest of our community at
heart, and expresses it by their ac
tion and my own personal investi
gation' and judgment being in accord
with thorn, 1 have reached the con
clusion that I will support a senti
ment that favors the abolition of the
court. „ c
So far as other matters are con
cerned. either state or local, 1 have
not give® them thought, but will be
glad at any time to discuss them
with any voter, and to give plainly
my views upon them."
BELVET BEANS.
What a Veteran Beef Raiser Say* of
the Profit*.
Fouowing is from the Kissimmee
Valley Gazette:
Fred Worm, the Tampa cattle
dealer, who was here last week, is n
velvet bean enthusiast, ami is sur
prised that our cattle men are neg
lecting this source of wealth, when
those of neighboring countries are
making good money out of it. Mr.
Worth has bought eight hundred
nead of velvet bean steers this win
ter for the Tampa market. He says
in tha fall a 200 pound steer is
worth 310 at 5 cents a pound. Turn
four steers of that size into a velvet
bean field of ona acre and in Feb
ruary those steers will weieu 4
pounds each, worth at 6 1-2 cents a
pound, $25 each. It costs $2.50 to
produce a crop of velvet beans on
one acre. Therefore it costs 62 1-2
cent* to douhle the weight of each
steer. The steers require no care
except that they must be watered.
All that is necessary is to leave them
in the field, they do the rest. The
progressive cattle men of Marion,
Lake, Orange, Volusia, Polk, Hills
borough, DeSoto and Manatee are
convinced of the profit in growing

BRUNSWICK, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 7.
ID ASA COUNCIL
FOR A FRANCHISE.
NEW YORK PARTIES WILL PER
SONALLY APPEAR BEFORE
THE MEETING.
They Are Here For Business, and,
If Franchise Is Granted, Will
Begin Work at Once.
Mr. L. B. Treadwell, attorney and
treasurer, and Mr. Hobart C. Fash,
general manager of the Industrial
Exchange, of New York, are in
Brunswick with a view of establlsli
. ing an electric car line., and they
will personally appear before a
special meeting of council to he held
this afternoon and ask for a fran
chise.
These gentlemen have been in
correspondence with Brunswick par
ties for some time relative to a
street railway system, and came
down on the Colorado Wednesday
from New York to make final ar
rangements.
A meeting of council was to have
been held last night, but failed for
the lack of a quorum.
The two above named gentlemen
wore seen at the Oglethorpe hotel by
a representatibe of The News last
night, and they both expressed them
selves very much gratified with the
outlook. Since their arrival in the
city they have been shown over the
city and they are both of the opinion
that an electric car line would not
only be a great benefit to Brunswick
lint would be a paying investment as
well, They both seem anxious to
locate here, and are hoping that
council will see fit to grant them the
franchise, which they will ask Tor to
night.
The gentleman are here for bus
iness and when asked by the report
er if council granted the franchise
how long before they would begin
work, Mr. Treadwell Haid:
"Just as soon as practicable. We
will return to New York Saturday,
and are anxious to make definite ar
rangements before our departure.”
It is not the plan of the gentlemen
to have only an electric car line,
blit also electric lights and electric
power of all kinds.
It Is understood that the petition
to be presented to council this af
ternoon will ask for a fifty-year fran
chise, with other requests as to
streets etc.
It Is to he hoped that the council
w„l grant the franchise, if, of
course, R is reasonable. An electric
car line would he oi great benefit to
our citizens and would be another
move in the direction of progress.
Let every' member of council lie
present this afternoon ami investi
gate the matter fully and give the
gentlemen some definite answer.

It was, he though, a very grave
question and he did not believe the
measure ought to be passed without
amendment. In view of the recent
calamity in the assassination of the
president the subject of the pending
bill was a difficult one to discuss. He
paid a high tribute to McKinley, say
ing he was the most “amiable, cour

TREATY CLAIMS
DECISION IS IH,
HAD DECISION BEEN OTHER
WISE CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN
WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT.
AT LOWEST CALCULATION THE
AMOUNT WOULD HAVE
REACHED $50,000,000.
Washington, March 6.—The Span
ish treaty elaims committee has
handed down a decision adverse to
the claimants on account of death
and injury received on the battle
ship Maine, blown up in Havana
harbor.
The commission holds that “indi
vidual claims of citizens of one Ra
tion may arise against the govern
ment of another nation for redress
of injuries to persons or property
which such citizens may have sus
tained from such government or any
of its agents. But such individual
claims to do not arisia in favor of of
ficers and seamen of a ship of war
who receive, in line of duty, injuries
to their person for wl
country is responsible. A claim
against a foneign government is
wholly national and all injuries of
such officers anu seamen are merged
in a national injury and they can
look only to their own govern rent for
such remuneration as, it maychoose
to give them. ,•
“A .seaman injured by the explo
sion which destroyed ri.e battfwrtrtfr
Maine in the harbor of Havana, had
no individual claim against Spain,
even if that government was respon
sible to the United States for the ex
plosion, and therefore such seamen
is not entitled to an award in his
favor from the Spanish claims com
mission."
Claims so far filed with the com
mission which will be affected by
this decision amount to about $2,500,-
000, which wouia probably be in
creased to $50,000,000 had the decis
ion been favorable to the claimants.
