GENERAL GRAHAM REACHES ATLANTA Active Preparations for War Being Made at All Points. DRY DOCK COMPLETED CANTON, Ohio, March 16.—Officers have been named for the regiment of provisional troops org«nized in this city to be known as “ihe President's Own.”” The regiment is composed of more than 600 volunteers at present, including some of the best young men of the city. All of the staff officers selected are subject to the approval of Gov. Bushnell. All, however, have had military training. Harry Frease, who commanded Company I of the Sth Ohio, National Guard, is named as colonel. He was also commander of the famous Canton troop that did service in leading the McKinley delegations about the city. James McKinley, nephew of the Presi is sergeant. Rev. O. B. Milligan, pa the First Presbyterian Church, has teered to be chaplain. the Canton regiment will march. Members are adjusting t insurance policies, making wills a acting other important bust: tory to starting for the scenes of a conflict. Gen, Graham at Adianta, ATLANTA, Ga., March 16.—Brig. Gen. Wm. M. Graham, the commander of the new department of the south, and his chief of staff, Lieut. Adams, arrived in At- lanta today. They were met at the depot by Col. Cook and staff, from Fort Me- Pherson, and several prominent citizens. Munitions of wer are passing through Atlanta to gulf and Atlantic ports daily, and great cannons, mortars, gun carriag*s and cars of explosives can be found in the yards almost any time.” Four mortars, 30,000 pounds each, passed ing en reute to Galves- tcn. Railroad men expect thirty cars of war material during the w2ek. Orders to Michigan Guards. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 16.—The first symptom of war, so far as Michigan is ecncerned, came today, when the state mil- itary board received a request from the War Department that each company of Michigan troops b> divided into squads of eight men each, in charge of corporals, ard that complete lists of these divisions be reported at once to the Secretary of War, thus insaring getting troops out in thi i shortest p 2 order. More than two rs ago thi Regiment was divided in this manner, and so is ready at a moment’s notice. Work on the Mayflower. NEW YORK, March 16.—Constructor Bowles is in rec2ipt of instructions to push werk upon the steam yacht Mayilower, bought by the government from the estate of the late Ogden Goelet, in fitting for serv- ice as a torpedo boat destroyer. The Mayflower was built at the Thomp- son shipyard on the Clyde. She has a length over all of 320 feet. Her water line measures 275 her beam 37.6 f and her draught Is 17.6 feet. She has a speed apacity «f more than twenty knots an heur. In addition to being armed with guns and otber torpedo boat destroyer appliances, eae will be armer plated. Mayflower will probably be taken from the Erie jin, where she has en lying for some time, to the New York navy yard. = Dry Dock Tested. There was a test today of dry dock No. 3 * the navy yard, which Naval Constructor Bowles seid was entirely satisfactory, and ured the availability of the dock within irty days for the largest vessels of the United States navy. The pumping out of the dock, which began yesterday, occupied all the night and during the time eleven feet of water was lifted out of the great structure. When the dock had been emptied it was de nstrated that it tes are now prac- tically water-tight, except at the edges of the caisson, which do not fit tizhtly into the grocves. This is caused by the harden- ing of the rubber gask which will have to be removed and fixed—a comparatively small matter. There was absolutely no leakage at any of the seams on the sides of the dock, where the trouble exis the first place. Should an emei that made such a measure n cotferdam could be blown out with dyna- mite on a day’s notice, but in the ordinary ccurse of events a month will elapse before it will be whclly remov-d, leavi trance to the dock free for the ships. San Francisco's Dry Dock. SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.—A fact of interest in connection with the qucsiion cf docking facilities for the big vesse’s of the United States navy is that San Francisco has a dry dock at which the batiie ship Oregon twice been successfully docked. ‘Lhis dock is one of the largest in try, and at comparatively lit could ke adapted to the accomny large battle ships under arm with their equipments on board. All that would be sequired wou!d be the Geepening of the approach and the enlargement cf the entrance. St. Louis Snils for Southampton. NEW YORK, March 16.—The American lire steamer St. Louis sailed for South- amptor today on her regular schedule time. The beard forsthe inspeciicn of auxiliary cruisers decided last night that they would not require the steamer for armam:nt at present. Vice President Wright Genicd that. any naval officer was on the St. Louis when she sailed. The report that Commander Emory was to be or board, in readine: to take charge of her chould hostilities break ovt, Mr. Wright said was an error. Gen: Miles Inspects Forts. Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles arr ved in this city from Washington early today and at erce went to Governor's Island, where ine was in consultation with the commanding officer. Gen. Miles then boarded the tug General Meigs and began a tour of the fertifications near this city, going first to Fort Schuyler and then to Willets Point. ESERIES THE PRESIDENT INVITED.

He comes to Washington for the purpose of closing the official work of the international boundary commission between the United States and Mexico.

The Mexican govern- ment was represented by Senor Don Ja- coby Blanco, Guillermo B. y Puga and Va- lentine Gama. Each section of the commission was inde- pendently organized and compietely equip- ped with instruments, wagon trains, pack animals, etc. The survey began at El Paso, Texas, in the early spring of 1892, and extended to the Pacific, a distance proximately 700 miles, occupying nearly three years.

While a majority of those on the upper part of the river probably had nothing to show for their efforts, four men, who fished ia the vicinity of the Chain bridge, did not use their lines in vain. They were D. F. Veilme J. B. Veilmeyer, J. B. Colclazer and J. E. Battenfield. Their bait had been caught near the | south end of the Long bridge early morning and hardly had a minnowed hock reached the river before a bass swal- lowed it. The next fish hooked was a big while the other was a trifle smaller in size. Most of the fishing was done on the north side of the river from the rocks a short distance above the brid: —— Pension Granted Too Late.
