Speculation l. Etill rife as 10 the reason for
continued activity IN the Nayy-yards all over
the country. While there Is some indication
that the trouble with Chile will be amicably
settled, and although there has been some
changes In the orders OF the vessels, vessels in
the different yards are preparing for sea in
considerable haste The Atlanta. Bennington,
Concord, aud Newark are completing their
crews. Their destinations are kept secret, but
as charts Of the South Pacific Coast have been
issued TO them, II may be surmised that
they will eventually appear in Chilean waters.

thus sought to be amended by the bill, de-
ciared the Alfalfa river to be a navigable
stream. The bill under consideration pro-
poses to amend the said act so as to declare
the Alfalfa river TO be navigable stream
from the county bridge, on said
river, to where it empties into
Hillsboro bay. 1 am informed that the
said river is navigable, in fact, for some dis
lance above the county bridge. The ques-
ton of the navigability or non-navigabllity
materially affects public and private
rights. The navigable waters of the
state are public highways. which
may be used for the transporta-
ton of persons and property, besides
which the property Of the stats in the bed s
of certain navigable streams is of great
value by reason of phosphate deposits, and
such is particularly the case in the Alfalfa
river, in the bed of which a company has
been mining for some time without comply
ing with the statute granting such
privilege, and against which legal
proceedings have been instituted and are
pending to protect the rights of the state.
Other companies have been organized for
the purpose of mining phosphate on the bed
or the said river under contract with the
state. The existing law can, in my opinion,
be construed as extending the limit of its
navlgability beyond the points where it is
nav1gable, in fact it cannot interfere with
existing public and private rights, whereas
the implied restriction of the navigable
portion of the river in the legislative decla-
ration contained in the bill may seriously
impair the rights Of the state"
1t is now thought that there will be no dis
cussion OF the senatorial question here Mon
day, and that both sides will let the case
rest on the arguments already submitted.

CAMERON, GA, June 13.-The Gridiron
Fishing Club Of Macon have just ended a
weeks maroon. They come every year.
The club is composed of Macon's most
jovial citizens. They came last Thursday,
June a, bringing with them everything
good to eat and drink. Proceeding at once
to the river, two of them commenced
operations by getting into boat and turn
ing over into the river. The river IN being
rather full for fishing, they had only fair
success. They caught enough, however, to
supply their wants, by supplying the
deficiency with blackberry pies, chickens,
hams, etc. During their stay one of the
party remarked that he thouE ht the river
was rising. Whereupon one, more accus-
toned to watch the rise and fall of bank
stock, ETC., than the huctuation of rivers.
decided TO see for himself He drove a nail
into the side of a boat at the water mark.
Next morning he found, to his amazement,
that the nail was still at the water mark,
but the boat had risen at least foot. They
left sooner than they expected on account of
the sudden rise OF the river. There was
more water than they cared for. They all
say they had an excellent time and are
coming again next year.

The track was in frst-class shape

Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens

The inspector says that there are a num-

particularly the old cemetary wallis. A

HOME SECURITIES.
IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS AND
VALUES DURING THE MONTH.

More Buyers Than Sellers Shows the Bull
ish Temper of the Traders-Tractions
Still Foremost in Interest-Philadelphi
Gas Steady Against Bearish Talk.
Business on call yesterday was light, for
the reason that there was very little of any
thing for sale. Bidders were unfortunate
but sellers met their advances with stony
stare. This shows most clearly that the
market is strong.
There was good inquiry for the fractions,
with perhaps one exception, showing that
there are those who have good opinion Of
them and strong faith in their outcome. All
of the lines are working fairly well, and
earnings are represented on the increase.
There are few, If any, who take stock in the
report that two or three of them are making
no money. There was nothing new brought
out in regard to consultations or combines.
Philadelphia Gas held its own in the face
of considerable bearish talk The litigation
upon which it has entered promises to be
expensive no matter what the result may
be, and this may put check upon the eI-
tinguishment of the remaining indebtedness
and make the resumption of dividends
either impossible or so far in the future as
to cease to be factor in the market.
The close of the month left everything on
the list in good shape. There was O ma
terial improvement in values and business
over any previous month of the year. A
number of obstacles to an upward move
ment were cleared away, leaving good out
look for the remaining three months of the
year. Sales:
First calico Pittsburg Traction at 40.
