DEEPENING CHARLESTON HAEBOR.
A f5-Foot Channel In 1884 Became a 20
Foot Cbannc! In 1892

CHARLESTON, $. G., Jan. BIN Oc-
tobcr last Capt. Frank Y. Abbott, the
United States engineer in charge of the
Government improvements in Charleston
harbor. announced in his annual report
that the nfteen-foOt channel Of 1884 mad
become twcnty-fOOt channel in lSJ2 a
new survey of the rarbOr and the Jetty
channel was completed by Capt. ABBOTT
in December. and has just been chartered.
II shows that in two months the channel
gained depth of one foot OF water. This
means that a vessel drawing twenty-Cne
feet Of water can pass through The lefty
channel AT high water. the least depth
anywhere in the channel being 1JS feet
on a small shOal at the harbor end Of
the passage. on of this shoa the depths
i'm the channel are 1873 feet next the shoal.
and 1873 feet at the entrance from the sea,
with a depth of 2i.2 feet halfway be-
tween these points. SO that with the inner
shOal removed a vessel drawing twenty
three feet could now come into the horbOr
at high water with some inches of water
clear under her bottom at the shallowest
points. and several feet clear in the rest
of the channel
Considered from every point OF view.
therefore. as Capt. Abbott says, the
latest chart is the most favorable show
iHS YET cDtdlneus anu III upDealS 10 give
certain promise that the twenty-three-
foot channel from deep water outside TO
deep water inside. will be obtained at
very early date, even earlier than was
expected last October. 1t is not safe 10
make predictions in regard to events oc-
curing under water but there las been
gain of one loot in depth since the survey
in October, and there is much less work
for the tides 10 do now than there was 30
do then. II Is now expected that the small
shoal which Is now IN the way will dis
appear In its turn in the next sixty or
ninety days and that the next Official sur

Trouble About Rail way Facilities.

II is not likely. however, that st. Johns
county will be selected, as the East
Coast Lire, the only railroad running
from Jacksonville into that county. is
owned By Mr. II. NJ. Flagler, the Stan
dard oil and hotel magnate. and it is
not probable he will permit the use Of the
equipment to aid in any way a prize
fight after he has emphatically pronounc-
ed himself against il.
The truth IS. the club is having some
trouble in making arrangements with the
railroads. There are plenty Of railroads
running out of Jacksonville i'm every d.
rection, ard all of them save Flagler's
line are perfectly willing to accommodate
the club as far as possible. but the trouble
is the club wants too much. The club
people want to secure control for twenty
four hours OF all trains on that road con-
tiguous TO the point selected for the night
bur this is impracticabie, as all the roads
carry United States mails. and If the
railway officials should yield 10 the club
there would be trouble with Uncle Sam.
OF course. the club can get special trains.
as many as it will pay for. but the Gov
ernor can send the troops on the next reg
Ular train. and the promoters OF the fight
don't want TO run any risks now.

there was q rumor curr6nt to-day that

for the contest. The Georgia State line
is only fifty miles from Jacksonville,

understood that some Of the club people
feel that they would be safer from inter

attitude Of the Governor Of Florida.
