PLANS OF THE POSTOFFICE.
Sketch Work Begun in the SupeTViS-
ing Architects Office.

Numerous Applicants for the Inspect
orship of Immigrants at Savannah
Lately Abolished - President Bur-
bage and One of His Directors
Have a Talk With the Controller in
Reference to Brunswick's Broken
Banks.
Washington, June 12.-The Brunswick
committees expected by Controller of the
Currency Eclzels arrived in the city last
night and consisted of two men, Mr..
Burbage, president Of the crippled First
National Bank, and one Of his directors.
Controller Eckels asked them a great
many questions, and they were finally
dismissed with his benediction.
He declined afterward to talk
for the press, but intimated that
he would not let the concerns reopen for
business unless they would hquidate their
debts A receiver will be appointed to-
morrow to take charge of the banks, and
after this their former managers will be
left to see what they can do to put them
again on their legs.
In the matter of the Gate City Bank,
the probability is that its debts win be
met and the depositors satisfied very soon,
and if so no receiver will be named.
sAvANNAH's NEW PosToFF1CE.
Nothing new has developed in the mat
ter of the Savannah postoffice building
beyond the fact that the architect de-
cided on Saturday to go ahead and have
sketch plans made, which are no more or
less than a skeleton plan Of the structure
with details omitted. Congressman Les
ter had a conference Saturday with the
supervising architect, and hematter may
now be pushed.
There are no new developments in the
collectOrship matter. Mr.. Carlisle, it
appears, is committed to Mr.. Trammell,
but the President is impressed with Mr.
Turner's argument that the South GeOr-
gia section has been neglected in the dis
tribution of patronage and he rather
favors more general division of the
favors. The papers in the case have not
yet been transmitted to the white house.
A SAVANNAH OFFICE ABOLISHED.
1t is not generally known in Georgia
that to get rid of Bill Pledger Mr. Carlisle
abolished the Office of immigrant inspector
at the port of Savannah to which he was
accredited. Several applicants have pre-
sented themselves for this vacuum, but
whether the office will be re-established
rests with the secretary, When Pledger
held it he drew the pay, 1000 per
annum, and spent his time in Atlanta and
Athens.
Young Louis Hess of Atlanta Is this far
on his journey to Antwerp, where he will
act as vice consul 60 Harvey johnson. He
will sail with his chief on the La
Champagne in a few days.
OABANIss IN WASHINGTON.
Representative Cabaniss arrived in
Washington tonight He has no news as
yet, but says he has some district affairs
to settle, one Of which will be the knOtty
Milledgeville postoffice matter. G.. G.
Wilson, the republican incumbent, enjoys
the honor of being the only Georgia post
master who has tried to resign under two
administrations and failed. President
Harrison would not let him of and now it
appears that President Cleveland can't
find n successor.
