Several OF tho steamship companies that
curry storage passengers to this port are
complaining OF the unusual expense to which
they arc put under tho immigration laws as
now enforced. They have to take buck to
Europe all immigrants who are excluded from
this country M undesirable. md all laborers
who have come here under contract. and all
persons who arc debarred for any reason what
over. They have also to bear other expenses
on account OF a good many oftheir passengers.
and they are subjected to various costly recula-
tions ofthe Quarantine and the Board Of Health.
They must BIO aware. however. that tho laws
under which they nro liable to incur these OK
pcnscs arc good and Necessary laws. which
ought to be strictly enforced. Moreover. they
might snvo themselves from some Of the en-
peuscs that they incur on this sde of tho
ocean by being more careful than they arc
abon' tho passengers whom they take aboard
in European ports.

The Canadian Parliament is called upon
to increase the appropriation for the support

We had two cases Of leprosy last year in the

TIE WORK at DUNDRg SWAMP.

An Inspection Tour Made by the
County Commissioners.
The county commissioners spent yester
day in visiting the work at Dundee swamp
and in that vicinity. The river trunk at
the canal is doing good work and an im-
meuse amount Of swamp water is flowing
through ii into the river. The good effect
Of draining the Dundee swamp must soon
become apparent on the country in its
vicinity. The commissioners decided that
IL would be q saving Of time and money 10
have the opening at the river dredged out
by machine instead OF dug out by the con :
viots. and Engineer Blandford was directed
| to get estimates for having the necessary
! dredging done.
Those who take an interest 10 matters
appsrtaining 70 the improvement of the
county will be well repaid for their trouble
| il they will visit Dundee canal. The i'm
meDse volume OF water that flowed through
the canal when it was opened showed that
it was a necessary aud an important adjunct
to the drainage of the county.
The approaches to the bridge across Pipe
makers creek have been completed. The
Augusta road at that point passes through
Pipemaker's swamp for distance Of about
half mile
There were formerly three wooden
bridges in the cause way across the swamp,
and the bridges and the causeway were
always wanting repairs after rains and
freshets. The replacing the old bridges by
one iron bridge and the raising Of the road
way through the swamp will not only give
q better road, but save the county "a great
deal of money heretofore expended in keep
ing them In even passable condition.

TIE souTa RouNp DEAL.

President Denmark Of the Savannah
| Construction Company Back From
| New York.
B. A. Denmark, Esq, returned yesterday
morning after an absence of about a week
In New York, where be concluded the deal
transferring the South Bound railroad
to the Florida Central and Peninsular rail-
way.
Mr.. Denmark had little further informa-
tion to give beyond what has already
been announced in the MORNING News ak
cept some minor details. Mr.. Den
mark is very well pleased with
the result Of his trip and appears
satisfied that the owners Of the South
Bound have done a good thing for them
selves and for the city by the deal. The
Florida Central and Peninsular Railway
Company. which takes charge OF the road,
is very strong organization. having sew
eral millionaires among its stockholders,
and having also q number of wealthy Dutch
stockholders In Amsterdam.
1t is to commence work on the road from
Jacksonville to Savannah not later than
Nov. l, and the read Is TO be
completed by Oct /, 1898. A guar
antee is made to this effect,
allowances being made only for strikes, &C.
cidents OF FIRE aud food, and other uupre-
ventable hindrances.
The Florida Central aud Penihsular does
not assume charge of the South Bound until
Oct l, 1898, nor does it guarantee the inter
est upon the bonds from now until the time
| it assumes control of the road, as was au-
nounced in yesterdays MORNING News.
though such an impression exists. The
South Bound owners will have to run their
road and make what they can out OF it
until the time when the Florida
Central and Penirsular assumes charge.
There is an arrangement with the prog
pective owners, however, as to the pur
chase Of rolling stock for the road, OF which
it now stands in need. The Florida Central
and Peninsuar will make arrangements to
provide the South Bound with such rolling
stock as iG needs, which il will take Off its
hands at full value when the transfer is
made.
The surveying party is now in the field
surveying the route for the new line. It
is working north ward from Hart's Road,
and is now somewhere in the noighborhood
of ST. Marys.
The appearance Of these parties in the
field was announced by the MORNING NEWS
over ten days ago. as was also the fact that
the deal for the South Bound was in prog
ress, and would very likely be oonsum-
mated.
Notwithstanding the lack of knowledge
of such a deal professed by the officers and
directors of the South Bound railroad in
response to frequent inquiries, the MORNING
NEWS believed that such deal was Ia
progress and was the first to announce that
it had positively been made.

PROG REss OF THE INSTITUTES.
A Better Attendance of reachers-Gov

A Better Attendance of Teachers-Gov.
Northen Coming.
The Peabody institutes now being con-
Quoted IN this city are proving very sue
csssfuL They are largely attended by the
city teachers, white and colored, and a
number of the teachers from the country.
1t is greatly regretted by the instructors
that the attendance upon the part of the
country teachers is not larger, as IL is chiefly
for their benefit that the institutes are held.
There was very interesting session of
the institute for the white teachers at
Chatham Academy yesterday. Supt.
Baker discussed decimal fractions, Prof
Zettler methods of teaching GEOGRAPHY,
Prof. Cannon analysis and parsing in
English grammar. and Mrs. Harden read
ing elocution and orthoepY.
Tbs closing discussion was upon the sub
ject OF recitation, its object, utility and
how IL should be conducted. The consensus
of opinion was that the object OF recitation
is to test preparation, cultivate expression
and TO promote in pupils q spirit OF investi-
tigation and inquiry.
The colored institute, under charge of
Prof. Wright, is progressing very success
fully.
The Institutes are now in their second
week. Gov. Northen and State School
Commissioners Bradwell are expected to
visit the institutes next month.

Ths question whom the Chatham county
delegates 20 the senatorial convention will
favor for senator is still unsettled The
frieDda 0. Maj. Ryals are urging his name
for the domination, and 1t is not unlikely
tia. it will De presented.
There is an interesting rumor 20 the ef-
feet that several Of the Chatham delegation
have pledged themselves already 10 Col.
Wright OF Et1ugbam. What assurances
they have from Col. Wright 81 a reason for
pledging him their support Is not known.
Another important announcement In con-
nection with the senatorial 6ght is that Mr..
w. s. Tison has announced himself as a
candidate for the Senate. A rumor 20 this
effect was published IN the MORNING NEWS
a few days ago. The announcement has
been very favorabiy received by those who
were informed of IL, and there is an almost
unanimous Endorsement among the business
man of Mr.. Tison's candidacy. The MEM
bers Of the cotton exchange, of which be
is q member, are said 20 bs for him TO a
man and will use their influence 80 secure
his nomination. Mr.. Fison is one Of the
best and most favorably known of Savan
nah's young business men. de is a native
OF EIhngham county, and 10 is thought
that this fact will prove of advantage TO
him in the contest. In his business he has
for several years had large dealings with
the people throughout the district, aud
there is no doubt that his nomination would
be favorsbly received.
Besides being a member Of the hrm of
Stubs, Tison & Co.. Mr.. Tison is connected
with the South Bound railroad and other
business enterprises of the city. There Il no
doubt that he would make most accent
able candidate. With Chatham's support he
would have little opposition at the conven-
ton. With no other declared candidate
from Chatham Mr.. Tison seems to have q
good showing

The MORNING NEWS has recently noticed
the building improvements In progress
south OF Anderson street In what is known
as the "city extension" This section is q
high, level plateau and has always been re-
garded a most desirable locality for resi-
dences The delay, however, ia open

tent kept the property of the market,
| but the increasing demand for more room
| has created lively demand for building
lots, and now it appears as though the en-
tire section is about TO be as rapidly settled
as was that southeast of the park.
Yesterday Mr. G. H. Dorsett sold four
blocks, aRgregating f1fty-nine lots, belong
Jog TO the Savannah Investment Company
and the Chatham Real Estate and Improve
unent Company to a well-known capitalist
for SS5, 900 cash. The gentleman who bought
the property will at once begin building
houses The contract for ten was signed
yesterday afternoon, and the building will
continue until all the lots are utilized. The
parties selling have agreed to put down water
mains on Montgomery street as far south as
Saventh street. the purchase is made for
investment, and not for speculation, and
will doubtless give q great impetus TO the
growth OF the city in that direction
The Savannah Investment Company and
the Chatham Real Estate and Improvement
Company are also contemplating building,
and the first named company is about giv-
ing out contracts for several frst-class
dwellings, to be built Just south Of Anderson
