The Columbia IS. O. State says: cone
thing seems to be settled by the expert
enee of Savannah and Charleston, and
that is that a big harbor, even when ex-
posed TO the sea, is a,safer anchorage in a
cyclone than a narrow river. There is no
comparison between the shipping disas-
tiers Of the rival ports" We had not
proposed TO say much about this, but
since our contemporary invites it, we beg
to observe that where nothing exists
nothing can be destroyed Without talk
ing the trouble at the moment to compile
statistics, it is asserted that Savannah is
quite willing to compare ratios of "dis-
asters" 10 risks with Charleston. As a
matter of fact there were only a few dis
asters IN the river proper. The State
might, with equal proprietv, congratulate
itself that there were fewer shipwrecks
at Columbia than at Charleston during
the storm.

Notwithstandinc the fact that Savan-
nah was in the very storm centre Sunday
night as was evidenced by the dead calm
for about an hour shortly after midnight
and the succeeding revival Of the blow in
all its herceness from changed point Of
the compass, she Jared much better
than some Of her sisters that were
whipped only by the outer edges of the
storm. Instead of suffering millions Of
dollars Of property damage as some cor
respondents insist on representing TO out

mEs, docks and stocks-docs not amout TO
more than $4,000 No buildings were
blown down; a few roofs were torRoff,
trees were Frustrated, and the stocks of
two OF three stores were damaged and
that Is about all That the buildings
withstood the shock successfully is proof
that Savannah is solidly built. And her
commercial stability is even greater
than the strength of her houses.

DOCKING OF THE NEW YORK.
The Big Cruiser Put in Her Cradle
...s,}-s Without Hitch.

Brooklyn, Dec. 2I-The cruiser New
York,was docked successfully this morn
ing. She was foated at $3.50 a. m, into
what is known at the navy yard as the
new dock. All of her guns were aboard
and she had nearly 400 tons
of scoal in her bunkers, yet she
went into the dock without touching her
sides or bottom. The tide was three feet
below full high tide. The bottom of the
ship was not as foul as was expected. 1t
needed cleaning and painting, however,
before long cruise in southern waters.
At Ii o'clock the water was clear of the
keel, and the ship was settled comfortably
on the blocks.

ALABAMA's PoPULIsTs.
The Party Leaders Not in Favor of
Supporting Kolb.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. ala meeting
Of the popu,ist leaders was held in the
city to-day, at which Philander Morgan,
Of Talladega, Editor White, of Chiffon,
John B. Ware, of jefferson, and some if
teen or twenty o hers were present. The
meeting was secret, and for that reason
all that was done or said could not be
learned, but it leaked out during the
evening, however, that they were op-
Iosed to Capt, Kolb recei ing
the support of the populist
party and that they disclaimed the right
Of any one man, or few men, to pledge
that party's support to any individual.
An Age-Herald reporter was in-
formed that they were in favor
Of putting out a full state ticket
to be composed of only those
who have heretofore affiliated with the
populist party. They oppose any sort of a
compromise and advocate a straiRhtout
fight on strict party principles. Those
who attended were not inclined TO give
out any information as to what took place
in the meeting, but rather tried to guard
their secrets.

Der of Deputies, Signor Cavalotti, the
well-known radical leader, made an at

Count Luigi Ferrari, minister Of posts
and te4egraphs, sprang from his seat, and
turning on Sicnor Cayalotti exclaimed:

This brought forth an exchange Of per-

Signor Cavalotti shouted in reply to
the minister, waving his arm to include
tne whole cabinet: You marionettes.
You betrayed the radical party for your

The exchange of words became very
oltter, and insults were freely INDUCED
IN. 1t is probable that the fair will re
