f - American Troops Held by British. Tartar With 1,193 Officers and Men Data: ned at Hong Kong. Washiegtoa, Sept. J3 -The war department h&s been informed that the steampship Tartar which is retare ID g to tbe United States from Manila with a large camber of soldiers on board, has been detained at Haag Koog by the local authorities because she is over? loaded. Secretary Root had a o on fere noe with the president this afternooa regardiog ;be matter. Wheo he retorced to the war depart? ment he gave oct the following two cable messages as ?in cffijial statement of the case. Hong Kong, Sept. ll, 1899. Corbin, Washington : British authorities refuse to olear ,Tartar, because overcrowded, authorize eight twenty-four Mitcalf. Manila, Sept. 13. Adj a ti. ni General, Washington : The Tartar was sent to Hong Kong tc dock, as requested by Maj. Long, no dook being large erong h a? Nagaasaki. She has oapaoity for 1,145 men and 111 oabin passengers. She took back 1,142 men and 61 cabin passengers Oe ber trip from San Francisco she carried comfortably 1,145 mea and 55 eabin passengers. Otis. ? private cable message from Hoog Kong says that on complaint made by the 400 discharged regulars on board the Tartar of overcrowding clearance was refused The Twentieth Kansas volunteer infantry with Gen. F a ns ton Ss aboard >:he Tartar, but is understood that the volunteers make no complaint and are anxious to have clearance granted the ship in order that they may proceed homeward. The Tartar is a British ship She belongs to the Canadian Pacific Steam? ship Company plying between British Columbia and Australia. She was chartered by the quartermaster's department of the United States army to carry United States troops but it is not believed here that this oharter could in any respect affect her nation? ality. She could cease to be a British ship and become entitled to Amerioan registry ooly by act of congress. It was stated at the war department that the Tartar matter had been referred to Ambassador Choata, which makes ao international question out of it. The contention of the war department is that notwithstanding the Tartar flies the British fhg, being chartered by the United Scares government, the assump? tion cf British authority over ber is unauthorized Proper Accommodations on the Vessel. Washington, Sept. 14-Clearance papers have been aiiowed the Tartar at Hong Kong. It is expected that she will proceed to the United States at once The information that clear? ance bas been allowed came in a dispatch to Adjutant General Corbin this morning from Col. Metcalfe, commanding the Twentieth Kansas and the troops aboard tbe transport Another dispatch from Col Met? calfe., in reply to one sent yesterday, states that the Tartar was no more overcrowded and that the food was as good as on other transports Ieav ing Manila He said that the trou? ble arose among the discharged reg jar soldiers who were returning home oe board the ship The incident is now regarded as clo"sed. lt is learned at the state partment that the representations made to Mr Chaote, our ambassador at Loudon, on this subject were not in the nature of a protest The au thorities here had convinced them selves that they had no right to claim exemption for the Tartar from the operation of British law in a British port, because the nationality of the ship had not been changed to Ameri? can by th* mere fact that she had been chartered for a certain specific duty by cur officers But the basie of the application to the British gov? ernment was the fact that the ship had bef?n altered in ber interior ar? rangements since her original inspec tina, and the issue of the permit tc carry passengers, with the result thal she is now fully in accord with thf reguirements of tue British law ever for the 1,200 aud odd troops cr board It is said at the state depart ment that the Hong Kong authoritiei must also heve taken thid view anc have acted voluntarily in releasing the ship, for there was not timi before that act to have heard fron London Two More Regiments Order ed to Move. Washington Sept. 14 -Secretar; Root has ordered the Twenty eigh volunteers, Lieut. Col. Leonard, fror Camp Meade, Pa., and the Twenty ninth, Col Hardin, from fort McPhei SOD.

Another Railroad to Camden Catawba Water Power to be on the Line's Course. It is ascertained from an unquestion? able source that the rumors connecting ?be Seaboard Air Line and the Southern with the purchase of the Carolina and Northwestern are unfounded in fact, and that the new owners of tue road are not connected with either of tbese systems. They are men of ample means who have a definite plan of development to oarry out. They propose to change the road to standard guage and are already making preparations to that end. They will extend it from Lenoir, N. C., its pres? ent terminus, to Ellizabethton, Tenn., a point about 15 miles south of Bristol, with which point it is already connected by rail. This extension will pass through extensive coal and iron proper? ties. It is also intended to extend the line south from Ches? ter a distance of about fifty miles to Camden, where connection will be made with the three leading railroad systems of this section. ? road from Chester to Camden will pass by the great water power on the Cataw? ba river. The main purpose of the capitalists behind the project is to supply this section with coal from the extensive Tennessee fields. This they will be abie to do at rates probably below all rivalry from other sources, and as cheap coal will be a blessing to South Carolina it follows that this develop? ment will be of great value and importance to the State. A corps of surveyors is about to be put in the field to ron the Hoe between Chester and Camden. At Camden the competition between the Seaboard, Southern and Atlantic Coast Lice systems is counted on to furnish ample distributive facili? ties.-The State, Sept. 14. - * m -i A GREAT RAILROAD. Toe Railway Age io a leading article calls attention to the remarka? ble growth of the Southern Railway ano the rapid development of the large section of couotry through which it rene and io which it is such an important factor. Several years ago the Southern Railway company established a land and mineral bureau which bas been greatly instrumental in promoting the agricultural and industrial resources of the south. The Southern Railway has grown from a mileage of 4,130 in 1895 to a mileage of 5,959 in 1899. It operates extensively in the states of Virginia, North Caroliua, South Caroliua, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesse and Kentucky. With the increase of mileage there has been a remarkable increase of gross earnings per mile These have grown from $4,135 io 1895 to $4, 764 io 1899, and net earnings from $1,221 to $1,506 per mile. The ag gregate of earnings io the past year was over $25,000,000, while the bal? ance available for dividends was $2, 094,520, equivalent to 3-J per cent, on the preferred stock. The Railway Age pays a high trib ute to the ability, enterprise and skill of the management under which the Southern Railway has made its re markable advance, and properly classes it among the greatest of American railway systems. Big Demand for Tobacco The American Agriculturist says there is a corner in tbe tobacco market created not by a combina? tion of growers or manufacturiers, but by the excess of the demand over the supply Prices have been higher on the domestic leaf than for a long series of years Havana seed tobac? co grown in New England has been sold as high as 50 cents a pound. Tbe partial failure of the Cuban crop compelled American smokers to accustom themselves to the domestic leaf, and it is thought that the home grown article may remain in favor A little trouble is brewing: between the American Tobacco Trust and American growers of tobacco. The t ust is making an effort to get the raw material grown in Cuba admitted free, while the duties are maintained on manufactured tobacco Thia would be in the intertest of American industry if their were nob domestic growers o? tobacco But as tobacco is grown in a good many 6tates, and might with a little scientific applica? tion of fertilizers be grown in ali the states, there is a decided protest John S.

The Transvaal Trouble. NOTHING ALARMING IN FRIDAY'S DEVELOP? MENTS. Londoo, Sept. 15 -A Blue book containing toe last Transvaal dispatch of the secretary of state for the oolooies.. Mr Chamberlain, relating to the mat? ters which led up to the dispatch being sent, was issued today. The text of Mr. Chamberlain's note is identical with the dispatch as cabled to the Associated Prees September 13. The important feature revealed is a telegram from the British high commissioner, Sir Alfred Milner, dated Aug. 31, referring to the commercial distress and saying : "I am receiving representations from many quarters to urge the imperial government to terminate the suspense. British South Africa is prepared for extreme measures and is ready to surfer much more io order to see the vindication of British authority. It is the prolongation of the negotiations, endless and indecisive, that is dreaded. I fear seriously that there will be a strong reaction of feeling rgainst the policy of the imperial government if matters drag." The Blue book throws no new light on the situation as it is today, exoept to show that the commissioner's patience has reached the ebbing point. A published interview with President Kruger, said to have taken place at Pretoria yesterday, is far more import ant. He is quoted as saying : "I have tried ail along to place the aliens io the Transvaal on the same footing politi? cally as the burghers Mr. Chamber? lain says I have not kept my promises. This." thundered President Kruger, ..I deny." Continuing, President Kruger is ? reported to have added : "The aliens of tbe Transvaal have the same commercial rights, as the burghers and have always enjoyed them without interfer? ence. I wanted to let them have the same political rights but they wocid not avail themselves of this. Roughly, there are mere than 50,000 aliens who have been here more than seven years and have registered, thus being eligible to the franchise. Yet of the British subjects who have availed themselves of it the chief part have been Afrikan? ders and not English born. This shows that the British in the Transvaal do not w&nt the franchise. "Io my opinion there is no caa9e whatever for war. Everything could be settled by arbitration.v A second edition of the London Times today prints a special dispatch from. New Castle, Natal, dated Sept 15, which bears out the British high commissioner's statement, as it says the Outlanders7 counoil bas transmitted to the imperial government what practi cally amounts to a protest against fur? ther delav The Times correspondent adds : "There is nothing to confirm the re ports that the Boers will concede Mr. Chamberlain's demands. Oo the con? trary, it is stated that 3,000 men will be dispatched to the border immediately after the Transvaal's reply is sent Everything points to the prospect of an early conflict." PLANT WHEAT. A farmer writing to- The Macon Telegraph tells how any farmer can make wheat for home consumption, and why be should make it. He says : An ordinary farmer can spare two acres of land ; let him take this land, turn it well with a plow in September, and about three or four weeks later pu; ten bushels of cotton seed broadcast, also broadoasc two hundred pounds of phos? phate, sow his wheat crop on this land with a turning plow shallow, all ploughing to bc done well, insuring the ground to be weil broken. This will make about fifteen bushels of wheat per acre. Two acres tried in this way wiii furnish about six barrels of flour at a cost of about five doilars. To buy this fljur in the market would cost about thirty dollars. M. B. Peavey, Byriimville, Ga , writes : Dr. M. ?. Simmoos' Lirer Medicine cured my whole family ct chills and fever. It also cures dyspepsia and headache. I believe it stronger tban Z?ilia's aod Black Draught. United States Soldiers Sen? tenced to Death. Manila, Sept. ll, via Hong Kong, Sept. 14 -The local papers assert that Corporal Damhoffer and Private Co? nine, of Co. B, Sixteenth infantry, have beeo 6entcoced to death by court martial, and that Private McBennet bas been condemned to 20 years imprisonment for having criminally asssaulted native women in Manila a month ago The orimes, it is said, greatly aroused the natives. The papers assert also tbat Gen.Oti: has recommended that President Mo Kinley approve the sentence and thal he desires a publio execution of thc men sentenced to death as a warning against a repetition of the crime. Need of Common Sense.
