WINDING UP THE WAR.
THE OUTLOOK FOR A RETURN
TO FORMER RATES.

THE Truce Between the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia and the Central
to Expire TO-Day-MsjOr Fink An
nOunces Peace rs His POiicy-What the
Central Ohiclals Say.
The tacit truce existing between the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad and the Central in regard to
passenger rates is supposed to expire TO-
day.
The former company announced some
time ago that the rates would continue
until June /. No one, however, seems to
know what the new move will be.
Major Whitehead, of the Central, said
Yesterday that be had not received any
official Information from the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Georgia. Whether rates
will be restored or remain az they are
now, he was unable to say, as the Central
is not making the rates, only following
its rival. From what was not said rather
than from anything that was said the in
ference was drawn that rates will 90 up.
The Central expects to be notified in adj
vance OF any change that may be made in
the way OF a restoration. The Savannah,
Florida and Western people We're also
uuinfOrmed of what is to be done this
week. The general impression Is, how
ever, that the situation will remain I'M
changed for a few days longer.
There are reasons for believing that the
correspondence between the heads of the
two roads is not yet closed. Mr.. Fink is
reported as saving that ''the East Tennes-
see is not in any war; He also added:
"We will have to get business by Offering
inducements to passengers. We are not
on an equal footing with the Central at
all points, and will cut the rate"
Mr.. Wrenn is to withdraw his indie
pendent Offices at the request of Mr.. Fink,
as the latter thinks his road can get all
the business wanted without cutting
rates from Augusta and Columbus. No
agreement has been reached on ditferen-
tial rate.
Mr.. Fink denies that he is fighting to
get into the Union passenger depot in
Atlanta, and says that the road Is doing
well and paying its debts.

Progress Ofthe ImprOvements-rhe NOW
SYstem 10 be in Use By July I,

SYstem TO be in Use By jay 4,
General Superintendent Carson, of New
York, ana District Superintendent Easter
lin, Of tbe Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany, were IN the city yesterday inspect
ing the workings Of the Savannah Elk
change ana the progress OF the improve
ments being made under the supervision
of Manager Valleau. The new system
which is being introduced Will probably
be in OperatIon by July L. IT is called the
Law system, and is the same as that In
use in Charleston, Atlanta, Augusta and
JacksonQiilet and in facP1n all cities IN
the SoutanwhsTe the telephone IS IN use.
The present system is what is known as
the magnetic system, one OF the nrs5 en-
plOyed. With the completion OF the I'M
pr0vements now in progress, the erection
OF new poles and over lOO miles OF new
wire. the remOdeling of the exchange and
its workings, and the introduction of the
latest and most improved apparatus, Sa-
vannah will have a telephone service sec
ond to none in the country. The method
OF operation will be wholly different. Inc
trouble which occasionally arises now in
ringing up different stations, and which
is bound to occur under the pres
emit system, causing sometimes
considerable delay and annoyance both
to subscribers and the operators at the
exchange will, under the new system, he
done away with altogether. A recent
test was made OF the practical working
and efficiency of the two systems-tbe
Law and the old magnetic systems-with
an eminently satisfactory result. With
out the knowledge of the operator an OH
Ger of the company called up from prl-
vate telephone ten different stations, and
held a brief conversation with the sub
scriber at each station. With the Law
system this was accomplished in three
minutes and about thirty seconds. The
same test under the old system, or thatnow
in use here, required a little over eight
minutes. The completion of the new sys-
tenn, which Manager Yalleau hopes to
have in use by July !, assures greatly
improved service. Although the present
service is by no means needlessly de-
fective, that which the changes will in
trOduce will have none of the defects
which are now apparent.

His Opinion of savannah's Charities
His Departure for Washington.

His Opinion of savsnnah's Charities
His Departure for Washington.
Gen. r. Brinkerhoff, of Mansfield, Ohio,
who was delegate to the late National
Commercial Convention, held in Atlanta,
where he was conspicuous for his sound
opinions on all the important questions
discussed in that body, spent yesterday
in this city.
After the adjournment of the cOnven-
ton Gen. BrinkerhotT visited Florida for
the purpose of examining into the prisons
and asylums of that State. He is the
Commissioner of Public Charities and
Corrections In the State Of Ohio, and is
well known throughout the country par
ticularly in the West, for his advanced
views on prison reform. Yesterday by inVi-
tatiOn he visited the county jail. He also
visited the Savannah Hospital, the police
barracks and HodgsOn Hall. He eX-
pressed himself well pleased with Savan-
nah's charities, and was particularly
pleased with the hospital. The prison at
the police barracks, he said, was great
deal better than is usually found
The county Jail, he thought,
was very fair building, considering the
time it has been built, and mueh better
than many similar places he had seen,
but it was not such place as the spirit
of the aye required. He was gratified to
learn that a new Jail is to be built. Gen.
BrinkerhOff goes from here to Charleston
and thence to Washington, ID. c., where
he will attend the National Prison Reform
Conference, which VIII be in session in
that city on June and D.

The Orphan Bows Picnic

The picnic to be given at Isle of Hope
on June promises to be a mammoth
affair. Given under the auspices of the
St. John the Baptist T. A. & b. Society, an
organization strong in numbers and infu-
ence, this of itself would insure large
attendance, but their efforts being sec
Onded by an auxiliary committee from the
st. Mary's Ladies' 7. A. Society and the
lady collectors, coupled with the further
fact that it is in aid Of the orphan boys at
Washington, Ga, we may reasonably pre-
dict it TO be one of the most successful of
the season. Another popular feature will
be that the music is to be supplied by the
Guards brass and string bands. Hence
the day may well be anticipated as one
for genuine enjoyment. A meeting OF the
committee will be held in the Cathedral
basement this afternoon at 4:30 O'Clock 70

who may be interested can feel assured
that everything win be done by the man.
