Mr.. Kehoe then arose and stated that
he begged his honOr's pardon for the

that he was unaccustomed to court pro-

to be spoken of in that strain. He said

misunderstood him. He said he was con-

A oYo1oNR 81 rHE ooAsT.
Observer smyth Says it win not
Strike Savannah.


The weather correspondent Of the New
York Herald cables that paper that there
is cyclone disturbance in the neighbor-
hood of St. Thomas island, and says that
a cyclone is imminent.
A report was also received
from Bermuda TO the effect that
there was q similar disturbance
there.
If the disturbances at Bermuda and ST.
Thomas yesterday arose from a single
cyclone, as is most probable, il must be a
large hurricane having a diameter al
ready eight hundred miles, with its vor-
tex now lying considerably north of st.
Thomas and moving to the west-north-
westward. It's centre may be expected,
therefore, to move south of Bermuda and
gradually to recurve to the north
eastward off the South Atlantic coast
most probably near Cape Hatteras), In
this case it is likely to cause high seas IN
the Gulf Stream region and the storm
wave may roll in heavily on our Middle
Atlantic coasts and disturb bathers at the
summer resorts. Navigators will do well
to remember that the August hurricane
of 1873 crippled or sank several hundred
vessels in its northward passage off the
American shore.
Observer Smyth was asked about the
disturbance yesterday, but said he had
not yet received any report of it. He
says the storm would in all probability
curve northeast and strike the coast off
Cape Hatteras. He says, how
ever, that August is the
most dangerous month for cyclonic
disturbances in this latitude, as they
curve during this month at the latitude
of 30 to 33' which would come nearer
striking this section than the storms Of
June and October, which curve at latitude
90 to 23' north, and those of July and
September, which curve at latitude 30 to
29e north.

Kind Words For Father William and

Bishop Haid Abbott, of the Benedictine
order, has replied to the pensioners of
the Sacred Heart church in reference to

FISH IN PLENTY NOW.
Where Savannah Gets Most of It's
Supp1y-The Oyster Outlook.

Where Savannah Gets Most of Its
) Supply-The Oyster Outlook.
The fish and oyster season will soon
open up. The Savannah fish dealers are
| already receiving about a hundred barrels
of fish a week, chiefly mullet, from
Florida waters
From September to April the local deal
ers handle about 600 barrels of fish a
week. This does not include the local
| market, but is the amount received here
and shipped out again to interior points.
The greater portion of Savan-
uah's fish supply comes from
Florida, the local waters furnishing only
a small portion Of the consumption. Null
let IS the most popular variety of fish
with the country consumers, and ten bar
rels of mullet are shipped from Savannah
to one barrel of all other kinds.
The cheapness of the mullet is the chief
cause of its popularity and besides it is a
very palatable fish when fresh. Mullet
is the poor mans luxury in the country,
and every Saturday hundreds of barrels
of mullet are disposed of by the small
dealers of the interior towns of Georgia,
South Carolina and Alabama.
Pompano, Spanish mackerel and other
choice varieties of fish are in season now
or soon will be. The local dealers have
already handled several thousand pounds
of pompano
Mr.. George A. Hudson, Savannah's
well-known wholesale fish dealer, said
yesterday that he expects both fish and
oysters will be both plentiful and cheap
this season.
The Oemler Oyster Company has prac-
tically gone out of the oyster canning
business and consequently will not COM
pete with the local supply. On the con-
trary the company win furnish the
market with fresh oysters from its large
beds and thus help-to keep up the supply.
The suspension Of the Oemler Company
will put an end to all the wrangling about
the company taking up natural oyster
beds to the exclusion of the regular oys-
termen, diminishing the supply Of oysters
and raising the price, by taking the oys-
tiers for canning purposes. The oyster
men filed the air with their hue and cry
on this subject last season. AS an oyster
man said yesterday, there will be "less
law and more oysters" this season.
1t will be a month yet before the oys-
ters are at their best, however, as it is
well known that they do not get their
fine favor until cool weather sets in.
