OF Customs Milne here TO allow him TO obtain
the assistance of American wrecker to help
In raising the vessel, but was informed by that
Official that 1t was utterly impossible TO grant
the request, citing the manner in which the
British wrecker Mascotte was treated at Ana
cortes a few weeks ago. However Captain
Hewitt wired the minister of customs at Ottawa,
begging for permission 10 use American appli-
ances, promising TO in addition all Canadian
material for the purpose. No answer has yet
been received. Collector Milne, in an inter-
view with the correspondent tonight, said:
We are going to have full measure OF recproc-
ity in this matter and show them that the rule
cuts both ways. / don't think that a favorable
reply can be received from Ottawa. 1t is repre-
sented TO me that our wrecsers can raise the san
Pedro If any can and assure you that ! won't

plore and rest upon the direction of God" He
spoke also of Lord Mansfield, the author OF the
decision freeing slaves on English soil, and his
habit of prayer TO God for guidance during his
celebrated judicial career OF thirty years. In
the field OF literature, the speaker touched upon
Colds NTH, Maeaulay, Charles Reade and other
men OF equal fame, reciting incidents to show
that they were possessed of the spirit of true

CUT TO THE WATERS EDGE.
A Vessel Sailing for Seattle Disabled In
Collision.

SRS FRANCISCO Nov. 25.-Barkentine George
T. Perkins sailed this afternoon for Seattle.
There was little wind, and the Perkins was
drifting out TO sea, when, just outside the
heads, she was struck the port quarter, for
ward oil the main rigging. by the steamer Mine
Ola, which starting on her way.
TO New York. The Perkins was cut
TO the waters edge and sixteen feet of the
sail and side were carried away nearly 10 the
water, with portion of the main rigging. The
main mast was also sprung and the deck
started. The Alneola attempted TO tow the
Perkins back into the bay, but the hawser
parted, and the tug 4Etna coming up, made fast
and brought her in instead. The Mneola con-
tlnued on her voyage. Under the circumstances
the Perkins had the right-oi-way, and the blame
must rest On the Mneola.

Savannah Surprised Elm.


In our dispatches yesterday the statement
was made that Senator German, on his re-
turn to Washington from his trip through
the south, declared that he was pleased
with Savannah's beauty and greatly sur
DIT sed at the evidences of her prosperity
and the magnitude Of her commerce. And
in Baltimore, to Col. Craigbill, theengineer
who has done so much for the Dor Of
that city. he spoke of the great commercial
importance Of Savannah.
Senator German had no idea until he
came here that Savannah had sucha great
commerce.. He frankly said 80 gentlemen
whom he met here that, though he had
voted on river and harbor bills. and had
always favored liberal appropriations for
Savann b harbor, he did so without know
ing that Savannah was entitled to a great
deal more than she was getting.
And about all the members Of congress
know as little about Savannah and her
commerce as Senator German did. If they
could be made TO understand how great Sa-
vannah's commerce is, and to realize how
rapidly it is increasing, there would be no
difficulty in getting all the money needed
for the improvement of her harbor.
But how can they be made to understand
what Savannah ought TO have in the way
of appropriations for her harbor7 There
are two WAYS in which they might to be en-
lghtened and Influenced. Oneis this: The
cong essmen who have the framing Of the
river and harbor bill might be brought here
as the guests of the city some time next win
-
man saw they would appropriate almost
any amount that the engineer in charge
Of the Savannah harbor Improvement might
ask for. The other way Is to get all tue
states that are interested in this port to
bring their influence to bear upon congress
in favor Of Savannah harbor. The harbor
of Galveston is not nearly SO important as
this, and yet the last congress appropriated
$6,000,000 for its improvement. But it took
great deal of work to get that appropria-
ton. Galveston called upon the whole
south and west to help her. The represent
alive OF this congressional district, for in
stance, received petitions from Bulloch
county in behalf of Galveston harbor.
If we want big appropriations for our
harbor we must work for them. The inn
portance of Savannah is just beginning to
be appreciated, and if we go about it in the
right way we can make congress under
stand that Savannah has a commerce that
commands most respectful attention, and
that if her harbor is improved as it should
be she will have, within comparatively
early period, no rival in the south, from a
commercial point of view.
