Bnalaesav ' The Atlanta Constitution of yes terday says : The. new trans-continental tourist line between Ne York and Californla.by way of At lanta has made a good beginning. On Sunday morningvthe car from Washingtonfor San Francisco passed through Atlanta crowded. These cars are so arranged that the pas sengers have as comfortable berths as are furnished on the regular Pull, mans. In one end of the cars is a range and passengers navo the priv ilege of cooking their own meals on it if they wish. - It is a very com mon thing for the passengers to make their own coffee and tea, or cook their own meats on the train: In this wayihe cost of traveling is greatly reduced,. sv the chargo.lor using these cars U only t7.BU for the entire trip ;That Is the cost above the price, of the ticket,: while the regular Pullman charge to a sleeper would be- probably $40. The pat ronage of this tourist une snows that the Southern route is taking a large part of the business which has been going west by way of vhicago or some of the other northern routes. The route through Atlanta is over the Southern! the Atlanta and West Point, the Louisville and Nashvilfe i and the Southern Pacific' -. These roads all make good time, u A pas senger leaves Washington on Satur day morning at 11:15 o'clock, reaches Atlanta the next morning, is in New Orleans that night, is at Houston, Tex., at 8:45 Monday morningt at El Paso 2:25 Monday afternoon, In Phoa ljx Wednesday morning at 8:45 O'clock, at Los Angeles that night and- in. San Francisco.- Thursday afternoon at 4.45 o'clock.' ' - The trip takes a little more than five days from Washington to San Franoisco or about four and one-half days from Atlanta. The route is shorter from : New York to San Francisco by way of Atlanta than by way of Chicago, v . There are nc tourist cars put of New York for the Paclflo coast and as they suit a large class of proplo very well the Southerns route' will get a fine business. '" t EECOEDS 0JT CRIME.

' The only unfinished busyss was the question of declarin office. of elector from the district vacant, and filling oS- account of the absence, of Dr'1 ye York, who failed to arrive if :city. JMr, Theo. E' -;U, who had con sulted witbx , rney General Oj- barns In regard to the matter, stated that W: was Jbls . opinion that there was no really vaeanoy, but that Dr. York was only absent and therefore the election of any one in his place was not in ordjr. Our failure to fill vacancy at this time, if one existed, said, Mf. Klutti, , would in no . way invalidate the office of elector nor create a vacancy. Then followed it long drawn out discussion on the question of with drawing the resolution of yesterday taking notice of Dr. York's absence. Mr. R. D. Gilmer expressed the opinion that the college had no juris- dlotion and asked that the resolution r be withdrawn; "Mr. Locke Craig, moved that the nfijalshed, business be postponed until the January meeting. Mr. Thomas said the spirit of the law was that the vacancy should be filled at the' time the electors cast their vote, The state and federal laws, he said certainly conflict and that in accordance with a 'decision of. the supreme court, the federal law always took precedence. He therefore thought the matter should be continued until January. Mr. Gilmer gave it as his opinion that the college had no right to ad( journ until January. He said there was noconnection between the two sessions of the college. All we can do, he said, is to' adjonrn sine die. Mr. Locke Craig created a general smile, bv stating that the electors had gotten themselves into a good deal of trouble, as all people do when they have nothing to 'do. ; " Mr.. Theo.-KInte differed with Mr. Gilmer as to adjournment He stated ahafr Abe colleger ad""perfected an organhatlon and that the present meeting should: be continued until 1 tbesecond Monday in January. Mr. Craig s motion postponing unfinished business was adopted. There was a further discussion of minor matters and at one o'clock the certificates of election signed by the governor were receiyed. The college soon afterwards ad journed until the second Monday in January at -12 o'clock, when the electors will cast the vote for Presi dent and vice-President i A telegram' was received by Mr. T.
