At London the stock is at a low ebb, barely over 5,000 barrels at the present time, and with but little afloat From what Mr. Geddes heard north and west, and from his knowledge of conditions abroad, he was evidently im pressed with the strength of the posi tion of spirits turpentine at this time.

It notified the state department, and this government requested 'the British government to use its good omces to secure jviennaes'i re lease. The British ambassador to Spain presented the case to the Spanish gov ernment, which, a short time ago, sent instructions to the Carolines directing the release of the American.

A Manila dis patch to The Journal Bays Aguinaldo has made overtures for peace, Colonel Manuel Argueleses, one of the envoys sent to the American lines, having pre sented a proposition which came di rectly from Aguinaldo. .

BE RETIRED. Iaj niastor General inform d That He Has Reached the Age Limit. Washington, May, 2. Paymaster General Stewart, U.. S. N., has been informed by Assistant Secretary Allen of the navy department to. retire him on May 5 for age. The communication also informed Admiral Stewart that he could go on the retired- list under two sections of the personnel law, which assures him the rank and pay of a rear admiral. .i . ' ' Assertion of the fact that Stewart is entitled to have the retired rank and pay of a rear admiral is interesting to 4he service as indicating the adoption of the recent decision by the comptroller of the. treasury of the meaning of the law. ' At iie same time that Paymaster General Stewart was potified of his ap proaching retirement, Paymaster Mich Ier, who has been conneoted with the bureau of supplies and. accounts since 18S9, or before Admiral Stewart took charge of it and whose assistance and valuable suggestions for the service are cheerfully ! acknowledged by his chief. submitted his resignation, tie wui en ter private; business. v Paymaster Henry G.

The new paymaster general, who will be Paymaster A S. Kenny, now at New York, will begin work with a staff nearly new to the office. CAPITAL REMOVAL GOSSIP. Jacksonville or Some Other City May Get the Statehouse. . Tallahassee, May 2. The proposi tion to remove, the. state capital from Tallahassee to Jacksonville has set a good many people to thinking. The residents of this charming old town feel that there is a possibility of a resolution being passed by the present legislature looking to this end, but not a proba bility so long as Jacksonville alone is mentioned. If the capital is to be re moved many feel that other cities in the state should be given an opportunity to bid for it - Whatever may be done it is not likely that the state will be called upon to make any appropriation. The substance of the resolution introduced is to pro pose an amendment to the constitution changing the seat of government Such a measure requires a three-fifths vote of the legislature, and should it pass tne people would be required to vote upon the proposition at tbe next general elec tion. In addition to the - present capitol building being inadequate, many com plain of the accommodations of Talla hassee. The question of moving the state capital is not a new one; nearly every legislature talks about it, but as yet no official action has been taken. , An impression prevails here that cer tain gentlemen of means in the state will be willing to make handsome con tributions toward a new capitol build ing and governor's residence, should the seat of government be changed. TABERNACLE DESECRATED. Vandals Get In Their Work on an Atlanta House of Worship. Atlanta, May 2. The Baptist taber nacle in this city, one of the largest churches of that denomination in the i south and- recently completed struct ure, was entered during the night and considerably damaged. The doors were broken in, new carpets torn up, paint smeared over the seats and : walls, and the water tank upset. , On the outside of the church were tacked placards bearing such inscrip tions as "Negro Lover," "Run Him Out of Town" and other sentiments of that nature. , Dr. Broughton, the pastor, reported the matter to the police. One week ago- Dr. Droughton de nounced the burning of Sam Hose at Newnan and said that the lynchers were as much murderers as Hose. Last week he received one or two pieces of Hose's flesh, accompanied by threatening letters. Sunday night he denounced the send ers of these letters as cowards and ex pressed his sentiments freely regarding them. Dr. Broughton thinks the desecration was performed by the sympathizers of those he denounced. B!uc Grass Railroad Sold. Versailles, Ky., May 2.
