SEABOARD WANTS 500 YOUNG MEN The Kjstem Offers TIiphi an Opportnnity to 8tudf Northern Farming WILL GET THEM PLACES All That la Aaked at Them la for Them To Return te Their Hones and Use their Knowl- afce. The Seaboard Air Line has underta ken to send fifty or more young men from along Its line to the North and East and give them an opportunity to study specialties in farming and farm ing industries as they are conducted up there. The Idea is to get four young met) from every station along the line of the system and secure them positions on good farms, dairy, fruit and poultry farms in particular, and Bee that they get their board, clothes and a small sum of money as wages. The project is being pushed by Mr. John T. atriok, the company's chief in dustrial agent. He particularly wants to give the young men an opportunity to study fruit culture, dairying and the poultry business. Many of them will have opportunities to study the north ern methods of growing small crops, especially hay and grain. Mr. Patrick suggests that it will be of great advan tage to the young men and will help their communities. His idea is for"the young men to stay In the North for about two years so that they can get thoroughly familiar with the northern farm methods. Mr. Patrick fully ex plains his purpose In the following ex tract from a letter which he wrote re eently to Mr. S. A. Kindly, of Mat thews, N. C: "Our object is to get intelligent young men from along the Seaboard Air Line who want to learn the Improved modes of farming as it is conducted in the northern and New England States. These young men are to go on the farms of the northern farmers and to receive their board, washing and a nominal amount to pay for some ex tras and they to work just the' same as any of the other employees. In other words you will get a real good practi cal Instruction in farming, better than you would possibly get at any agricul- ral college, and Instead of having to pay out money for the Instruction, you get enough to pay your expenses, which would be your board, your wash ing and about $4 a month for the little incidentals that you might want. If you did not sped the $4 you would just have that much to bring back home with you. "We do not want any one to under stand that they are going to work for wages, but what we need down South is for some of our people to learn the way the northern men cultivate their crops, how thew raise stock and poul try and how they keep their farms and farm buildings up to the highest stand ard. We do not want any one to agree to take these positions except those who will agree to come back to their homes and go into farming so that our farmers can learn from them what they learned by two years' stay in the North. It will be necessary for you to stay at least two years to get thorough ly familiar and to learn what is neces sary. "Another thing we can accomplish in this work will be that during your two years' stay you ought to be able by distributing printed matter about your section and working among the people whom you meet to get a number of set tlers to come down to your home, and in that way be of great benefit in In creasing the number of settlers nnd perhaps get some of the northern peo ple to go down and establish factories of some kind. "Now I hope that you can go and In terest three other young men of your section. Of course It will take me some to arrange to get a place for you and you need not make your arrangements you have written me, for as soon as I to go in a week, or even a month, after can get the young men who are going I must find a place for them. Some of them I want to put on poultry farms so that they can get the Inside of poul try raising: others on fruit farms bo that may know how to raise and mar ket fruit successfully, others on dairy farms so that they can learn how to raise good stock, make good butter and cheese and learn how It is marketed. "This Is one of the most important steps that we have ever taken, but we cannot successfully carry It out unless four younc men from each station alons our line of road are willing to give two years- time, as it were, to study the manner of work In the North and come back and distribute this information amnn the people of their respective sections. "They can do a vast amount of good for themselves and be public benefac tors, and I hoe that you will not con sider that you are giving two years of your time for nothing, and I assure you you will not, because It will be worth to you and every man that goes at least $6 000 In the run of their life." Atlanta, Constitution. ' WASHINGTON NEWJ5 Goss p From the National Capital PEACE NEGOTIATIONS Bareaa Chiefs are ot Prleadlv to Lien. Hebeoit Central flreely'a Ad-ralseka-Gca. ral sibaftcr'a Blnff. (From pur regular Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 4th, 1898. . Tho threatening attitude pf the Span is coMmlsstoflwaat Parts may not have been Intentionally brought about by the adrninistiation for effect upon the Con triiissliinal elections, but it has a sus picious look, and there are not a few persons who think that the wording of the written demand for the Philippine Islands, handed to the Spanish com missioners by our commissioners was purposely n.ade exasperating, so that the Spui-'ards would get up a few howls and threaten to with draw from the peace negotiations. They had been given to undci stand, unofficially, that our commissioners would agree to su-sar-c.oat the Philippine pill by agree iiS that this government should pay 510.000.(00 of Spanish bonds, issued as a charge upun the Philippines, but as men a sihat was published over here the protests were so numerous and vig orous thnt Mr. McKinley ordered the bond dfal erased from the programme, and a promise to pay back what Spain had a.lually spent fir the betterment tf the Philippines art Indefinite sum substituted therefor. Gen. Greely, chief signal officer f the army, is very particular in all his public utterances to speak in high terms of Secretary Alger, andother of ficials who l.ad anything to do with the direction of the war, but in a speech t oa church club he let the cat out of the bag by saying that one of the prin cipal reasons why the signal corps op erated ;-o successfully during the war with Spain was that it had a ship of its own, chartered in fhe name of a pri vate individual, and not subject to con trol i f the army or navy . They are repeating a story in army and navy circles about how Gen. Shaf fer tiled to bluff Lieut. W. H. Stayton, commanding U. S. S. Aliene, who had charge of the assignment of positions for anchorage, for sanitary inspection, to the troopships which brought Shat ter's men from Santiago to Montauk. When the ship which brought Gen. Shatter was slgted off Montauk Point, Lieut. Stayton put out in his boat and ordered her to heave to. The only re ply he Kot was an order to get out of the way or besunk. Lieut. Stayton then ordered the captain to stop or he would fire a shot through his ship. That's where Shatter made his bluff. "I am Gen. Safter, and I am not going to stop for anybody," he yelled, and the naskod: "Who are you anyway?" "I am Lieut. Stayton, of the Navy," replied that officer," and am directed by the Secretary of the navy to see that no vessel lands passengers without having been certified by the health au thorities, and I order you to heave to, under penalty of a shot." Shatter then retired, leaving the captain of the ship to apologize, an'd to ask Lieut. Stay ton where he should anchor pending the medical inspection. It is evident to everybody that the bureau chiefs of the Navy Department are not friendly to Lieut. Hobaon. He was ordered to Washington to tell a board, romposed of these chiefs the present status of the wrecking work thnt Is being done upon the sunken warships of Ccrvera, and to present his recommendations a sto what should be done. Hobson made a long statement, showing what had been done and ex pressing confidence that if he was al lowed to have his way he could save three more of those vessels the Colon, the Vizcaya and the Mercedes and the collier M?rrimac. sunk by him. Inci dentally he recommended that te con tratc be under a private wrecking com pany is being paid 800 a day be an nulled and all te work by the governme nulled and all the work done by the government. Hobson also said that he was disposed, If the department refused to furnish the money to continue the work of trying to save these vessels, to appeal to the people for contribu tions for that purpose. The board will recommend that none of Hobson's re commendations be adopted; that work on the Vjlzcaya and Colon be abandon ed and that the Merrlmae be dynamited Instead of raised. In addition to this turn donw, Hobson has been told that it will be considered "insubordination" if he attmepts to do anything contrary to the recommendations of the board of chiefs. To show how real experts re gard Hobson's assertion that the Colon mm vizcaya can De saved It may be mentioned that a Swedish wrpf-uinp Company, the largest In the world, has onerea co undertake the raising of both ships, this government not to pay a cent unless they are halsed.
