Rhea-is by nature fitted for such a
role, not alone by her great art, but
also by her nationality, as all know,
Rheajsa French woman, and it is
a fact not generally noted, but never
theless true, that Mary had all the
instincts and gracious manners of
the French woman, inherited from
her father, and made more pronounc
ed by her long : residence at the
Court of France. An old history
speaks of her charming French ac
cent when conversing in the English
tongue, and in this respect Rhea
will be more true to the character
than ' many actresses who have

The Prusb-Visitob learns that a
proposition will be submitted at the
meeting by a member of the commit
tee looking towards fusion in ,the
Congressional districts ' between
Democrats and Populists. We have
the assurance that not only wilt this
proposition be .submitted, but also
another with- a view of effecting a
combination with the, Populists' on
State and county matters as well as
Congressional. v The; information is
obtained through a member of the
committee that the proposition, for
fusion in all nine Congressional dis
tricts with the Populists will receive
the support o. several members of
the committee, ' s
We are informed that It is the in

sition "to yield at feast four Congres
sional districts to the Populists,
Skinner in the . Third, Stroud in the
Fourth. Martin in- the Fifth and
Shuford in the Eighth are the Con

No one can tell to what extent the
proposition will obtain among the
committee until the meeting is held.
A Populist of standing stated to
day -that the agreement recently
reached with the Republicans - was
not binding in the least, as the
latter had 'broken their obligation
by Russell's', refusal to retire in
favor of Guthrie. "But,'' he said,
Vwe will not listen to any proposi
tion from any source unless five of
of our Congressional nominees are
endorsed, as 'their election as mat

The effort is showing itself in
many ways. We warn our people to
be on the watch. The time is not
far off when we must move and vote
for progress and humanity. We
must not be scattered.1. We must
show a bold and determined front
to " everybody , and every party
that fight us.- Any party that op
poses nsjs not our friend, nor is it the
friend of our principles... -.' Some

few days howling about ' principle.
Some of them may claim to be Pop

RUMORED IN BALTO.
A Controlling Interest ia the Stock Re
ported to Have Boea Transferred to a
Syndleate Aa Agreement Said to
' . Have Been Reached.
, In addition to the dispatch else
where with regard to the meeting of
the Seaboard Air Line stockholders
at Portsmouth .yesterday, the Balti
more Suq of today, which came to
hand this afternoon, contains the
following highly interesting state
ment v
The controlling interest in the
stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke
RailroaoThas been transferred to a
New York 'syndicate, according to
the following dispatch from Ports
mouth. "The Southern rate war was vir
tually brought to an end by the
transfer of the controlling interest
in tho Seaboard and Roanoke Rail
road stock from the present owners
to a syndicate headed by Thomas F,
Ryan and Col, George B. Harvey, of
New York, Under the terms of the
transfer about 4,000 shares of stock,
which have been held in pool by
Judge Watts, of Portsmouth, Va.,
Louis McLane, of Baltimore, and
Moncure Robinson, of Philadelphia,
were bought in at about tllOa share,
and in order to bind the bargain a
big cash bonus was deposited by the 1
new owners of the property.
"Colonel Harvey, in behalf of tne
purchasing syndicate, stated that
the Seaboard was not bought for the
Southern Railway. Onthe contrary
it "would be operated in connection
with the Port Royal and Augusta
Road. There would be no chp.nge
in the management of the property
for the present, at least. Colonel
Harvey admitted that the change in
ownership of the Seaboard Road
meant the termination of hostilities
among the Southern lines, and the
effect must be generally salutary.
"The sudden change in the situa
tion has come like thunder out of a
clear sky on the present manage
ment ot the property. President
Hoffman and a party of stockholders
came down from Baltimore on the
Bay Line steamer to attend the an
nual meeting of the road, which was
called at noon.
General Gill, of Baltimore, who
has led the opposition to the present
management, was also a passenger
on the boat, and the trip down was
characterized by a series of confer
ences among stockholders. Presi
dent Hoffman was quite sanguine of
carrying the day, and he stated that
beheld proxies for nine-lenths of
the stock.'
fj When the Baltimore party reached
here they were joined by Thomas
F. Ryan, Henry Crawford and oth
ers opposed to the present Seaboard
policy. All morning missionary
work was followed by a formal inter
terview of the officers of the com
pany between Messrs. Bryan,
Harvey and Gill, on the one hand,
and the three gentlemen who held
the controlling interest in the prop
erty-
"The interview between the com
mittee and the purchasers was brief,
and when it ended the announce
ment was made that the controlling.
stock in the Seaboard and Roanoke
had been purchased by the" Ryan
syndicate. The statement was also
made that no "opposition would be
made at the meeting which' was to
follow; and that the present direct
ors would be re-elected, including
President Hoffman." - -?
" General Gill, president of the Mer
cantile Trust company, has been
offering .par for the stock, which
has been quoted at about $45. Up
to the time of his leaving Baltimore
for the annual meeting he had not
secured a majority of the stock.
" President Hoffman - advised the
stockholders that - the stock was
worth double par In the event of its
being wanted by a competing line.
. It was understood in Baltimore
that the would-be purchasers were
willing to compromise, and if neoes
srry, would raise their offer con
siderably over par in order to se
cure the stock. ' According . to the
dispatch the compromise was affect
ed on the steamer, and the syndi
cate raised their offer to $1 10." , 7
While it is disclaimed that the
purchase wastmade in the interest
of the Southern? Railway, the mem
bers of the syndicate are to ' be
finally interested in that company,
and would not use the new acquisi
tion in opposition to their present
interests. . - , : ,

VICTORY FOR GILL.
The Action of the S. A. L. Stockholders
So Considered ia Baltimore.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 1. The stock
holders', meeting of the Seaboard
Air Line; which was held at the
general offices and which, it was ex
pected, would be the stormiest ses
sion ever held by the directors of
the road,' was entirely harmonious.
Mr. Curzon Hoffman, under whose
management the -road entered into
the field of rate-cutting competition,
was unanimously re-elected and the
old board of directors were also re
elected. Mr Basil H. Gordon being
elected to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr. Enoch Pratt, of Bal
timore, Baxtuiobc, Oct. 6. The harmon
ious result of the stockholders'
meeting of the Seaboard Air Line,
Which was held in Portsmouth, Va.,
today .caused general surprise among
the financiers and railroad men of
this city. General John Gill, presi
dent of the Merchantile Trust com
pany, has been bitterly opposed to
the management on account of the
rate war, and President Hoffman has
as strenuously insisted on contin
uing the struggle for rail road supre
macy in the southeastern territory
of the country. Up to last evening
when the party left for Portsmouth ,
it looked like a finish fight.
Today all Is changed. All the un
friendliness sesms to have disap.
peared. A well-known railroau man
in this citysaid that in his opinion
the action of the stockholders to
day was practically a victory for
General Gill. He believed, that if an
agreement to withdraw the cut-rates
had not already been entered into
between the Seaboard Air-Line and
the Southern Railway it would be in
a few days.
At the cessation of hostilities it
was practically over. The financiers
abouttown were inclined in this way
to account for the amicable outcome
of the meeting.
