There appears to be aom sentiment In Washington for the restoration of "'Executive Mansion" as the presi dential residence's official name. Wherefore this feeling we do not know, unless It arises from a preju dice on the part of Mr. Roosevelt's enemies against everything he ever ,1 Id. Mr. Roosevelt, arguing that i there was an "Exei utive Mansion" In ai h Slat'- i apital but only ne "White H 'us"-' anywhere, sought the . rtit-rit of .1 isi metlveness by making his TKKXESSEIT8 LAST EXHIpmOX. An idea, of the bitterness of the fac tional strife in Tennessee is to be gathered from the action of thirteen members of the Senate branch of the Legislature In having fled the State, breaking a quorum and preventing; the over-riding of the Governor's veto of an act providing for the elec tion of State boards of election. The absentees are supporters of Governor Patterson and their absence from their seats in trie Senate for the remainder of the session will leave stationery and his ofti. lal utlrranees the State election machinery In the FlBLIMli-K AOl'CLMJ3 1 , : Tf .e.'wne t . lit-..

For Illustration: I was recently in Cieenwood. S. C, and desired to re turn direct to charlotte. My first thought was to return on Seaboard Ham No. but when making the dis. oer that I would be compelled to wait in Monroe from i.45 to 10:0 p. in. I selected another roafi and route, which landed me in Charlotte at 7 p. in. Had train No. 4 2 been running through to Charlotte, 1 could have remained half hour longer in Cieenwood and arrived in Charlotte an hour earlier than by the other rout e. In addition to these particular fads, it is inte reasonable to suppose that the starting point of the train going South and the end of the run of the northbound train being a city of 45.00D people, and where about 400 tra vi'IIiik men make their headquar ters, thar a much greater volume of business would be done than to start and stop these trains at Montioe. which has no other roads running there tn feed these trains and Is. comparatlve l speaklix, a small place. As I believe the cost of extension, as compared to the additional busi ness, would be small, I hope the Sea boaid will see their way clear to make this change at an early date. M. G. HUNTER. of the President at luncheon. Postmaster General Meyer, who Is slated to- become the next Secretary of the Navy, called and remained w ith the President and Rear Admirals Sperry and Wainwrlght for half an hour after luncheon. Ho declared they had not dlsrussed the question of the future commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. Rear Admiral Sperry to-night de clared that while he hag not yet made a formal request to be relieved of the command of the battleship fleet. It was his pur pose to do so after another consul tation with Secretary Newberry. The admiral was reticent about his reason for wanting to be detached from the big tteet, but It is understood that his request will be prompted by the fact that his retirement In September will oocur only a short time after the fleet, which la now breaking up, re assembles at Hampton Roads. At the Navy Department the impression prevails that either Rear Admiral Wainwrlght or Rear Admiral Behroe der will be named to succeed Admiral Sperry. The latter who will remain in. Washington for a few days as a guest of the Metropolitan Club, has about concluded his reports to tne Navy Department relative to the world cruise of the fleet and he ex pects soon to return to his flagship, the Connecticut. The admiral stated to-night that Captain Hutchlns. who was detached from the Kearsarge. was on the verge of a nervous break down and that his detachment from the fleet whs due solely to his own request.

Di rectors of the South AtUntic League met here to-day for a special meeting called by President Jones. The schedule as submitted at the regular meeting was adopted with but few changes. Thf changes were for the benefit of Columbia and Columbus, which clubs had objected to the number of consecutive games played In those cities The decrease made was en tirely satisfactory to these parties. Chattanooga and Augusta open In this city April 15th. The salary limit question was dis cussed at length, but finally It was agreed to let It stand as adopted at the Savannah meeting.
