THE HARBOR FEE ORDINANCE.
A Large Reduction in the City's Rev
enues by the New Law.

Large reduction in the C1ty'S Rev
enues by the New Law.
The ordinance passed at the last meeting
of the City Council, reducing the Harhor
Masters fees, will cause quite falling off
in the revenues of that department. The
ordinance has been before the Council for
several months, and its provisions have
been fully stated in the MORNING NEWS.
The Council Committee on Harbor and
Wharves estimates that under the new
ordinance the revenue from the Harbor
Masters office will not exceed $4,000. Last
year it was in round numbers $1,000, and
the year before it was S1l 900. The reduc-
ton, it is estimated will be considerably
more than one-half the revenue that was
derived under the old ordinance
The new schedule is understood 10 be gem
orally satisfactory. 1t has been accepted
by nearly all of the agents of foreign YES
sells, and it is understood to be satisfactory
to the Ocean Steamship Company.
There is be no change in the manner of
collecting the fees, which will be the same
as it was under the old ordinance.

An Appeal for Funds.

The local management desires to state to
base ball admirers that as good talent as
can be had in the state is here in Savannah,
and with sufficient funds at its disposal the
club will be able engage such men as it
wants. There are several fine ball players
whoare ready to sign, provided fair salary
is paid them for the season. The subscrip-
tions have not reached the amount required
and it is very urgent to secure
funds at once. There are many citizens who
would he willing to aid the home club if the
friends of the club or some person with pro-
per influence should approach them. The
other cities in the league have
subscribed literally and Savannah
is certainly able to do its share.
Base ball played by home .talent is surely
worthy of support, and it is hoped that the
sport will be successfully carried through
the season. It is about the only amuse-
ment afforded the young men of Savannah
during the summer. The public is urged,
therefore, to send any subscriptions that it
may wish to make to Mr.. Dave 5. Einstein,
Manager, at the Marshall House, or to MIR.

sixth club, to agree upon a schedule that
would prove satisfactory, and so re-adopted
the old schedule, leaving Macon out until
another club enters, when a new schedule
will be made up. 1t is thought that either
Chattanooga or Montgomery, Ala, will

Columbus will open the season here next

ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles

Americas has been considerably alarmed
over the rumored sale of the Americas,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad to the Cen
trail The Americas Recorder has been
looking the matter up, and this is what it
says: "The management of the Americas,
Preston and Lumpkin states positively that
there is not the slightest grounds for these
reports, as the road will not be sold under
any circumstances. The business of the
road for some time has accumulated far be-
yond its locomotive capacity to move.
Right now there are forty train loads of
timber and naval stores awaiting shipment
on the Eastern division. This heavy traffic
has influenced the management to purchase
two other engines. One of these engines is
30-ton Mogul, a powerful locomotive,
which cost So, 400 five months ago, but
which fortunately has been secured for
$3.50 More box and flat cars are a neceS-
sity, and are being provided as rapidly
as possible"

A HARD JoB.1
THE SIOUX CHIEFS STILL REFUSE TO
TREAT,
And the Commission Seems to be Labor
ing on Futile Mission-The Indians to
Speak In Council Until August 9Th
Judge wriyht's Talk PIeases Thsm.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK. July a.
The speech of Judge Wright, of Tennessee,
IN presenting the proposition of the govern
Ineht with reference to the opening of the
reservation. occupied all of the conference
with the Indians. better presentation
could not have been made, and the Indians
were noticeably pleased with what was said !:
but IT is also apparent that the Indians are
nrm IN their determination to oppose the
treaty.
Tuesday nights council showed no change
IN their attitude. The speeches of Mad
Bear. Two Bear, Cottonwood and other
chiefs were strongly in opposition to the
treaty, the sensation of the evening being
caused by Black Bull, a chief who farms in
the Cannon Ball Valley, who said he was
willing to sign. He was hissed from the
circle, but returned and on his second at
tempt to speak, the Indians dispersed with
expressions of contempt and disgust.
Gall is located with the Indians of the
Southern part OF the reservation, and these
are still holding councils in which every
speech is against the treaty The Indians
and whites are anxiously awaiting the re-
turn OF Sitting Bull. The Indians say
that he was offended by the election OF
Gall as spokesman, the contest for orator
ical honors being between Sitting Bull and
Gall
The fact that Gall was elected over Sit
ting Bull by the Indians will simply in
crease the length and fire of the iatter's
speech, for once i'll the circle, no power
other than the military can save the con-
ference from his tongue He will speak,
and when he does, taffy and soothing syrup
will be discarded.
Yesterday Chairman Pratt. of the COM
mission, explained those portions of the
treaty not touched upon by Judge Wright.
As the Indians are being fed during the
conference by the commissioners, they are
not exhibiting impatience. Rain-in-the-
Face, one of the most notorious chiefs, said
that he would not sign the treaty under
any consideration.
When asked as to the probable time to be
consumed by the speeches of the Indians,
he said: "the Indians will not finish un-
til next ration day" This means feast
until August G, but the cunning gluttons
win be brought to decision before that
time.

COuRTlAND PALMER.
Robert G. lngerson Delivers the Grafton
at the Funeral,

Mt the Funeral.
New YORK July 27.-The late home OF
Courtland Palmer was crowded almost to
sufiocation by the friends who came to at
tend his funeral services. The Nineteenth
Century Club, of which Mr.. Palmer was the
founder, was largely represented, and
many of the most distinguished men of the
country were present
The remains OF the deceased advocate OF
freedom of thought reposed naturally in a
rosewood casket which was laden with
flowers. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll who
was to deliver the address, took position
on the stairs and in calm tender tone OF
voice said. "My friends-a thinker OF pure
thoughts, speaker of brave words, doer
OF generous deeds, has reached the silent
haven that all the dead have reached, and
where the voyage of every life must end.
and we as friends who even now are hast
ening after him, are met to do the last kind
acts that man can do for man-to tell his
virtues, 70 lay with tenderness and tears his
ashes in secret place of rest and peace
Some one has said that in the open
hands of death, we find only what they give
away. Let US believe that pure thought.
brave words and generous deeds can never
die. Let us believe that they bear fruit
and add forever to the well-being of the
human race; that a self-denying life in
creases the moral wealth of men and gives
assurance that the future will be better
than the past
A free and independent man. one who
demanded reasons and demanded freedom
and gave what he demanded-one who re-
fused to be slave or master-such man
was Courtland L. Palmer" Colonel Inger-
soil finished by reading one OF Mr.. Palmer's
poems.
Religious services were read by Mrs. Pal.
mer's pastor, Rev. Dr. r. Heber, Newton.
The cremation and interment of the ashes
will occur at the convenience of the family.

Anderson still Live. in the Wen.

OMAHA, NEB., July 27.-The latest ad,
vices from Johnstown are to the effect that
John Anderson is srll imprisoned in the
well there. The rescuing party were con-
fident enough of getting him out Tuesday
night, but just as they reached the point
where Anderson's rescue seemed certain,
they were compelled to cease to save them
selves. They were so near Anderson that
he could see their light. He asked them
not to extinguish 1t, but leave it SO he
could look at it.
An experienced well digger is now on the
ground. He went down into the recently
dug well and conversed with the prisoner.
He says he is all right and thinks he can
stand it twenty-four hours longer. He had
a good supply of tobacco when entombed
and to satisfy his thirst sucks the moisture
from the boards around him.
A third well has been started and the ex-
perienced well digger, Archer, is confident
Anderson will be rescued alive. The third
well is now down forty feet Men are
down in the second well all the time to en-
courage Anderson. He has been in the well

But Was Discovered in Time-A Million

CHICAGO, July T.-Robertson, of Silver
City, Idaho, said to be a millionaire, was
found in q room at the Ogden House un-
conscious and barely alive. The gas in the
room had been blown out instead of turned
OF. 1t was thought that Henderson had
climbed on a chair and extinguished the
Light in a primitive way absent mindedly
or because he was intoxicated.
The fact, however, that man of 30 much
wealth as Henderson is represented to be pu,
In comparatively inferior out-of-the-way
place created suspicion. Then it was stated
that Henderson himself was proprietor of {.
large, well appointed hotel and would be
extremely unlikely to unthinkingly blow
out the gas Theories of foul play and at
tempted suicide were prevalent.
Henderson remained in a comatose state
for hours, notwithstanding the efforts OF
physicians, and nothing could be learned
from him. The doctors were unable to say
whether or not Henderson would recover.

WIxoSA, MIMI, July 27.-Careful in
quiry regarding the crop situation in
Southern Minnesota shows that prospects
are most encouraging. Winter wheat is
already harvested. and will give an average
yield in this section of thirty bushels per
acre, while farther west about the same re-
suit will be secured. In some sections
chinch bugs have done little damage, but
not nearly so much as was feared few
weeks ago. Fields OF late sown barley,
which at that time were considered worth
less, now give promise of a splendid yield.
A destroyer of the chincb bug has appeared
in the shape Of myriads of ants, which have
eaten the bugs and saved the grain. Hay
and oats are specially fine and heavy, and
spring wheat is doing we'll, with a promise
OF fifteen to eighteen bushels per acre. In
the Jime River Valley, in Dakota, such q
crop of wheat as is promised was never
known in that section. Corn is doing fine
ly in spite Of the cool weather and promises
well.
