STILL LOOKING AT SITES.

The Guards Lot Most Likely to be
Selected for the Postoff1ce.
The public building commission had a
conference yesterday with Col Garrard,
Mr. John M. Bryan and Mr.. Lee Roy
Myers in reference to the purchase OF the
Guards property by the government The
commission listened attentively to every
thing the committee had to say in favor of
the site. thanked them for their intima-
ton, but did not give the slightest informa-
ton whether or not the offer would be
accepted.
One rumor has it that che price asked by
the Guards is $40 900. while another says
$50, 900. The latter figures are believed to be
nearer correct Should the commission de-
eide in favor Of the Guards site sufficient
amount Of the appropriation win be left to
erect handsome structure.
Supervising Architect Edbrooke yester-
day examined samples Of Savannah brick
bination structure Of brick and granite.
Col. Buck said he would like to
see Savannah have a marble build
ing if sufficient appropriation
could be secured. The commission, how
ever, has nothing 20 do with the erection of
the building or the material to be used In its
construction. That is o matter entirely
Win tue treasury department.
The commission considers that the best
site that could be secured for the public
building would be the block from Bull to
Whitaker streets, and from South Broad 10
York, provided the city would allow York
street lane to be closed, and the property
could be purchased at reasonable figure
Supervising Architect Edbrooke, Judge
Haskell and Col. Buck called on Mr.. Thomas
Halligan yesterday and asked him to put a
price on his property, which extends along
Bull street from York street to York street
lane. Mr.. Halligan informed the commits
sion that his property was not for sale TO
the governments or any one else
Col. A. N. Wilson Of Atlanta, ex-post-
master OF this city. was also before the COM
mission yesterday and gave his views as to
where he thought the government build
ing should be located. Col. Wilson
advocated the Guards site. He told the
commission that he was Of the opinion that
the most desirable place was facing Court
House square. The question first came up
during his administration, and he had Mrs.
Porter, who owns the Gilmer houss at Bull
and State streets, approached on the SUBJ
ject OF selling to the government, but she
declined to sell under any circumstances.
He next turned his attention to the
corner occupied by Livingstons drug
store, but no clear titles could
be given for ii. The Guards at that time
had their armory on the site now offered
the government, but as soon as &c was
burned Col. Wilson said il would be just
the place for the government building.
The commission will most likely forward
Its report to the treasury department to-
day, and Its selection viii be made public
some time next week.

THE QUARANTINE TELEPHONE.

The Line Opened for Business-The
Restoration of the Tybee Line.
The new telephone line to the quarantine
station has been finished and was opened for
business yesterday. The line is controlled
and operated by the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company. The city has a contract
With the company for its service.
It was expected that the Tybee line would
have been in operation before now, but q
hitch occurred between the telephone COM
pany and the United States engineer de-
partment over the use of the Martello
tower. Negotiations are now pending
which the telephone people believe will re-
suit in permission being granted to use the
tower. As soon as the arrangement has
been made the line will be rebuilt and put
in oper alton. The wire is at the Tybee
depot ready TO be put up.

The Police Declined to Hold Him Any
Longer.
F. G. Furness, who was arrested by
Detective HanIey in the De Soto Tuesday
night on a Telegram from Acting Chief Of
Police E. F. ConnalIy OF Atlanta, to the
effect that he was wanted for cheating and
swindling, has been released, no officer hav-
ing appeared to claim him.
After arresting Furness Chief Green
wired Chief Connolly of his arrest, and re-
ceived reply stating that the prosecutor,
Q. Z. Byrd, would send for him the next
day. A telegram was received from Byrd
the next day to release Furness upon the
payment OF SSS and COSTS otherwise the
officer would be in Savannah to take hun
that night
Chief Green said he could not recognize
Byrd's telegram, because he had no official
title, and besides he had no right TO COM
pound felony. As no officer appeared for
Furness be was released.
Chief Green said the reports of Furness
being arrested with diamonds and jewelry
in his possession were all false, and that
Furness was one of the most gentlemanly
men he had ever met, and that his wife, who
was with him, was a perfect little lady.
Both of them were very much distressed by
the affair Furness explained it by
saying that he was an advertising agent,
chiefly soliciting railroad advertising, and
that he had a contract with Byrd, who is a
printer. to do the printing. One Of the
conditions OF the contract was that in
case of mistakes in the printing which
should cause the advertiser to refuse to pay
for IL, Byrd should receive nothing for that
printing. 1t happened that a serious mis-
take was made in an $50 job, for which
she advertiser refused to pay. consequently
Furness did not pay Byrd for the job
Byrd, he said, was endeavoring to force him
to pay by this procedure.
Furness had several hundred dollars in
money and notes for about 81 $780, besides.
He said that he would return south this
winter aud sue Byrd for damages.
Furness left for New York after his re-
lease

DR.. Hill, President OF the university OF
Rochester, writes to the American Econo
mist the following. among other reasons.
why he is protectionist:
First. : The policy Of protection enables
our country iodsyelop industries OF which
other countries. IL il were not for Pfoiee
ton, would spjoy practical monopoly.
Although not profitable IN the United
States unless Protected, these industries
are i'm porispt to our national development
and independence and should not be 81
lowed to become extinct.
Second. "A Protective Tariff unquestion
ably increases the rewards Of labor by ere
s,ine demand for skilled labor, by diver
styling the kinds Of labor 10 country and
thus difIerentis,ing both demand and sup
ply. and by making for producers OF every
kind home market The increase OF the
Iaborer's reward is not confined to the Pro-
tected industries. but elevAtes wages IN
every sphere, by the sympathetic effect Of
high wages generally, and by Withdrawing
from non,Protected Industries and from
agriculture surplus Of wage earners wbo
would divide ard reduce wages IL they
competed against each other.
Third. Although Protective Tariff I'M
cresses prices Immediately after its adop'
ton, the resulting activity and the sbund
snt home production under Protection
tend constantly to reduce the prices Of
| mar featured articles as industry become:
better organized. As q result the country
becomes wealthier both absolutely and
relstlv ,ly absolutely, because the sggre'
gate Of home produced commodities /
vastly increased; ard II latively. because
wages are kept above tie the Europesr
level by q high,Tsriff barrier to foreign
competition. Under Free Trade, or Tariff
for revenue only, we would have TO send
cur gold out Of the country tapsy for i'm.
ported goods and to compete with the
entire world in disposing Of our goods owl
products st home, thus lowering our wages
TO the level Of those paid to the cheap la'
Dor OF Europe.
