THE COMING SEAPORT.

Had the Denver convention been
present at Arkansas Pass on Friday
last. and witnessed the tide rolling in
over the Arkansas bar a full twelve
feet in depth, and noted how eftectu-
ally the littoral current sweeps away
all the silt that is washed out of the
channel by the outgoing current,
that convention would have needed
no other demon stratiOn and proof Of
what the friends OF Arkansas Pass
claimed for that opening as the most
eligible along the Gulf coast of Texas.
Had they been present, also, while
the survey was being made of the
waters inside the pass, not alone
within the channel but over the vast
area of harbOr water, they would have
had ocular demonstration and most
convincing proof of the harbor
advantages within Arkansas Pass.
The survey, the most complete
ever made of the harbOr, is
conclusive as TO the natural adVan-
tages of those inland waters for deep
harbOr refuge. At no point along the
entire coast, and within no other bay
is there found such depth of shelter
cd water. This sheltered deep water
lies close to the shores of the islands
and renders wharf constructions both
simple and inexpensive compared to
constructions at other points along the
gulf coast. Every week, almost, adds
something to the volume of informa-
tion obtained and facts verified con-
corning Arkansas Pass, all tending to
confirm the good opinion formed of
that location as the most advantage
ously fitted by nature for THE deep
water port of Texas.
The late cyclone in the gulf which
sent the waters from the Atlantic
surging through this American Medi-
terranean and over Arkansas bar, have
not affected in the least the govern
ment work or displaced a perez ptible
particle of the very incomplete and
fractional work done by government.
This proves to the conclusion of every
eyewitness to that storm that the i'm
provements, when completed, will be
utterly impreguable to the assaults of
the waves and that every inch of
water secured will be a permanent
improvement.
II is also apparent from the drift Of
public sentiment, and from the out
Groupings Of that sentiment so far as

SAN ANTONIANS are growing FESTIVE
over the inaction of the head of the
city administration in the matter OF
yellow fever relief. The suggestion
that the "Rfies" give benefit per-
formance for the relief Of the Florida
sufferers, is a good one, and such a
performance would no doubt net re-
spectacle sum. All the same it is q
shame that San Antonio, as a city, is
so conspicuously behind other cities
of her class in doing something gener-
Gus for the relief Of a sorely stricken
sister city.

their echo has reached this office that
the eastern states will not be arrayed
as q unit against congressional action
for opening deep sea port on the
gulf coast of Texas. Influences are at
work in the east quietly creating a
sentiment in favor of harbor improve
ment on the gulf, and as the possibili-
ty of such a harbor grows more and
more certain without the outlay Of
enormous sums of money and inter-
minable delay, the general interest
grows and the early consummation
of such improvement becomes increas-
ingly possible. The Denver conven-
ton and its discussions has very
largely changed the current of nation
al consideration and enquiry upon this
question of deep water on the Texas
coast. Before that convention Calves
ton seemed the cynosure of all
eyes, since that convention, Aran-
sas Pass, its superior advantages,
its much more accessible harbor,
its much more cheaply constructed
channel, and the possibility of open
ing it to heavy draught ships in a
comparatively short space of time,
have attracted universal attention.
Today the eye of the commercial
world is turned towards the Gulf of
Mexico, as the great highway over
which shall pass the mighty COM
merce of this great west. Upon no
one point is the eye of that CONNER
cial world so directly focused today
as upon Arkansas Pass, and to no point
is the hope of shippers so expectantly
turned as toward this natural outlet
from the inland bays and waters of
the coast to the deep waters of the
open gulf.
There is great encouragement in
the situation The attention of the
country is for the present temporarily
diverted from questions of industrial
and commercial Importance by the
exactiOns and strifes of political
campaign, but this will all end in
less than eight weeks more, and with
the reassembling of congress fresh
impetus will be given to this matter
of deep water, by the introduction of
a bill or bills having for their object
the carrying out of the expressed OBJ
jects of the Denver convention-"The
securing of deep water harbor on
the gulf coast of TeXes at the least
possible cost, and in the quickest
time" The handwriting on the wall
says this place is ARKANSAS PASS.

DAY by day the yellow fever bulle-
tins from stricken Florida show an in
creasing virulence in the character of
the disease, growing fear of its be-
coming general all over the southern
states. The recent rains have soaked
the ground and the climatic condi-
tons are most unfavOra BILE for battling
with the pestilesce. The death roll
already includes the names of some of
the brightest and noblest characters
in the state, and as the list lengthen 8
heavy gloom settles upon the de-
voted city, in which so far the great
bulk Of deaths has occurred. Camps
Of refuge and hospitals are being con-
structed as rapidly as possible, nurses
and physicians are arriving and every
means taken TO care for the stricken
people. Great restitution prevails,
and money and relief stores are great
ly needed. Train loads of refugees
have reached north as far as Char
lOtte, y. &. Fever has made it's APP
pearance in the refuge camps in Caro-
lima and these are being quarantined
against. Expert medical testimony
is very unfavorable in its report upon
the situation and the worst is appre-
hended. The charity call comes to
us clearly and loudly and should not
be neglected by the favored citizens of
this locality.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

CHICAGO JOBBERS HOWL.
They Want a Fighting Chance in the
Northwest Affairs of the
Railroads.

WINNIPEG, Man., May 26.-The local
government is advertising for proposals
to build the link from Winnipeg to
Portage La Prairie to connect with the
Manitoba 81 Northwestern railway in
order to secure direct competition with
the Canadian Pacific railway through
out the province. The advertisement
asks all firms making proposals to state
what bonus they require or how much
guarantee of bonds. 1t is evidently the
intention of the government to go right
ahead and build the road despite all OPP
position of the Canadian Pacific railway.
1t is reported here tonight that the
Canadian Pacific railway have con-
spired with the Beatty line of steamers,
which had agreed to bring rails neces-
sary for the Red River Valley railway
to Duluth, to prevent delivery.
Although according to the under
have been here long before this not a
rail has arrived. The local government
hoped to get them delivered in Duluth
and then shipped over the Northern Pa
cific to the boundary. The consign-
ment that the Canadian Pacific railway
undertook to deliver have been side
tracked at different points along the lat
ter's line, and it is not expected that the
company will deliver them, as they are
at loggerheads with the local govern
ment. 1t is believed they will make
persistent attempt to block the building
of the road till after the next crop is
harvested.

UP IN ARMS.
Chicago Shippers Want at Least
a Fighting Chance.


Special TO the Globe
CHICAGO, May 26.-Chicago shippers
are up in arms against the proposed re-
ductiOn Oh rates by the Burlington &
Northern railway after June l on
through traffic between New York and
st. Paul, to meet the rates made via the
Vermont Central and the lakes. To
Chicago shippers the Burlington "
Northern has given notice that it will
adhere to its present schedule. In other
words they propose to charge Chicago
jobbers 10 cents more for hauling freight
from Chicago to st. Paul than they
charge New York shippers for hauling
the same from New York to st. Paul.
A number of letters of protest have
calling attention to the unjust diScriml-
nation. Many Chicago shippers agree
that they will have to recall their men
from the Northwest or else sell goods in
that country at loss. An effort will
also be made to induce the 20" people,
which does not favor the cut, to bring
its subordinate road to a sense of right
and duty.
''If this thing is to continue,' said a
prominent Chicago shipper yesterday,
1--WE will have to call in all our men
from the Northwestern territory or else
sell goods Ill that country at loss. We
don't mind a fair and square competi-
ton with Eastern houses, giving them
the same rates we get ourselves, but
when Western railroad openly comes
out by making a rate from New York at
less even than they will carry freight
from Chicago, it's time to make big
kick The New York houses have not
been slow to reSDOnd TO the invitation
Gerry house has already sent two new
men up into the Northwestern country,
and even allowing them better prices
for their goods than we can ask they
are able to place them in st. Paul at
from 10 to Is per cent cheaper than we
