Robert Lincoln May Succeed Window.

NEW York, Feb. A HeTdlds Wash
ington City special says: 1t is given out
that the presidents purpose in asking an
extension of the time within which
Secretary WINDOWS successor may
be appointed had especial refer
ence to Robert Z. Lincoln, min
lister to the court of St. James
Lincoln is not at all satisfied with his
present position. His appointment fur
nished the strongest evidence of President
Harrison's personal regard for him, for it
was made without solicitation on Lincoln
part In fact, the Illinois senators did
not themselves know il was going 10 be
made until the president so
informed them. Since the death of
his son, Lincoln has been more
restless than ever, and the best informa-
ton is that If the treasury portfolio should
be rendered him he viii accept it. His ap-
pointment from political point of view
would be regarded as an especially happy
one. No public man in America is so uni
versally popular with the colored race.

GHOST STORIES ABOUT INDIANS.

Gus Beaulieu. of ST. Paul. Tries to JUS

recent Indian trouble, in which, after de-
Tense of the Indians in the recent scrim-
mage, by a prominent Dakota man, whose
name is withheld, Gus Beaulieu, resident
OF st. Paul, and widely known among the
Indians of the Northwest, says:
The whole trouble of this bad business will
come out some day. think il was two months
preceding the Custer massacre that Miles aud
his soldiers rushed IN upon an Indian
village in Montana and shot down
every man, woman and child in
il without mercy. There were between 30 and
600 Indians killed. The village being FAR from
the telegraph, information of the horrible affair
was not known until after the Custer massacre.
and then. of course, the public mind was so oc-
cupied with the Custer massacre that no atten-
ton was paid to the previous massacre of
Indians
After speaking of the breaking of treaties
Beaulieu says:
Indians throughout the entire Northwest are
collecting facts regarding Miles outrage in
Montana and the failure of the government
be designated al Washington City TO present
their wrongs and grievances, and more
the outrages committed before the Custer
massacre.
CHICAGO. Feb. captain Higgins, of
General Miles staff, after carefully read
ing the Minneapolis dispatch, said:
That massacre story is absolutely untrue
Nothing in which General Miles was engaged ever
occurred that could remotely suggest it. In all
the numerous occasions where Genreal Miles has
captured Indians il has been really astonishing
how few were killed or wounded at the time
The only affair that remember was In Montana,
where considerable Indian women and children
(Piegans) were killed by the troops. This was
several years before the Custer massacre, and

THE GUARDS WON'T 60.

The Battalion Regretfully Decides Not
to Accept the Invitation to Augusta.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards held an
adjourned meeting last night.
The meeting was to consider the invita-
ton to the corps to visit the Augusta expo
sition on the Military days, Nov. 5, 6 and Z.
After considerable discussion it was decided
not to accept the invitation. There was a
very evident desire on the part of the men,
bers to 60 TO Augusta, but, at the same time.
the opinion OF both officers and Lien was al
most unanimous that it would be impossible
for the majority 10 obtain leave Of absence
for any length OF time, no matter how short,
and that considering the present rush of
business IL was something they could not
we'll afford to ask OF their employers.
Lieut. Col. Garrard and Capts. Reilly.
Williamson and Screven were appointed a
committee to draft resolutions returning
thanks to the Augusta Exposition Company
ami expressing their regrets at the inability
of the corps to accept.
Col Garrard announced the building
committee upon changes aud additions to
the new battalion at Bull and Charlton
streets as follows:
Col. William Garrard, ex-officio chair
man; Capt. W. w. Williamson, Col.
John Screven, Lieut.. John NJ. Bryan.
Lieut. William 2. Hunter, Lieut.. George
NJ Gadsden, and Pay Members Lee Roy
Myers. George j. Baldwin and j. H. II.
Osborne.
The committee is considering plans for the
alteration and improvement of the
building.

THE RIVER A BIG STREET.
Tugs and Lighters Hauling Freight IL
huarv DfreoriOn.

The great increase in the river transfer
and lighterage business is the subject OF
comment among business men and Others
who have watched the river traffic for the
last several years. There are ten lighters
on the river now where there was one ten
years ago. or five years ago. for that matter.
| A few years ago the transfer business
was done almost entirely by drays, OF which
there were several hundred engaged in
| transferring cotton alone. The cotton re-
ceipts outgrew the draw business. and Capt
Raoul. then president OF the Central rail-
road. expressed the opinion when he made
his first contract with the Sa-
vanuah Lighterage and Transfer
Company for tie transfer Of cotton from
the Central railroad wharves to the ships
along the river. that the time had come
when Savannah's cotton would have to he
transferred by water or a great deal of it
would go 10 other ports. The saving by
lighterage transfer is good proof of Capt.
Raoul's Judgment.
The river transfer business of the city is
at present in the hands of two companies,
the Propeller Tow Boat Company and the
Savannah Lighterage and Transfer
company Boas COMPANY Tn' of rro Rbo5 J re%

her trial trip Saturday. She will leave for
Savannah about the middle of next week.
She is about the same style as the Jacob
Paulsen aud the Regis. The towboa5
company also owns property on Hutchin-
sons Island. where its boats are repaired
The Savannah Lightersge aud Transfer
Company, Of which z. A. Smith is presi-
dent and A. +. Dewey, superintendent, has
about forty barges in use, composed of fiat
lighters and old hulks cut down. They cost
on an average OF from $4,000 TO $4,000 q
piece.
These barges carry from several hundred
to a Thousand bales of cotton on end and
make easy work Of transportation. The
barges are towed by the new steel tug
Regis, a description of which was given 10
the MORNING News short while ago.
The tug Samuel Winpenny is also owned
jointly by the lighterage and transfer
company and the Propeller Tow Boat
Company.
Some idea of the river transfer business
can be gained when it is stated that the
lighterage company is now carrying from
1900 60 5000 bales of cotton and
about l 600 barrels of rosin a
day. The lightering is chiefly
done from the Central and Savannah,
Florida and Western wharves to vessels
lying along the river front between those
wharves, and from the congresses to the
ships.
The transfer business is now done largely
by the lighters. In fact without the lighters
1t would be almost impossible to handle the
present cotton receipts.
