FOR a CHANNEL TO BEAUFORT.
e Survey Provided for in the River
and Harbor Bill.


The present river and harbor bill which
is now before the United States Senate,
having Teen passed by the House Of Rep
resentatives, contains several provisions
which viii be Of interest to Savannah.
The bill has not yet become 4 law, but
has been thoroughly considered before
! passing by the lower House and doubtless
very few changes will be made in the
Senate.
The provision in which Savannahiaus
will probably be most interested is that
directing the Secretary of War to have
a preliminary examination and survey
made for a steamboat Chanpel seven feet
deep at mean low water from Savannah
TO Beaufort.
The average depth of the present chan
mel at mean low water is about five feet.
If such survey is authorized, however,
it is understood that a new channel would
be mapped out. or rather some slight
changes would be made in the present
route Such a channel VIII mean a great
deal to Savannah, as it will afford facili-
ties for running much larger steamboats,
between Savannah and Beaufort and may
tend TO largely increase the commerce De-
tween these two points.
The Secretary of War is also directed
in the bill, provided it is not changed be-
fore being passed by The Senate. to cause
the project TO be prepared and an esti-
mate to be made of the cost of the i'm
provement of the Savannah river be-
tween Spirit Island and the point where
the Charleston and Savannah railroad
crosses the river.
Another section of the bill, of import
ance TO the commerce of the port, reads:
The Secretary of War is hereby di-
rected to report whether the works pro-
Jected for the Improvement OF the harbor
will when completed, afford safe anchor
age for vessels lying in Tybee roads; if
not, whether there is any necessity for so
constructing them, giving, if so, such
changes in plans and estimates as may be
necessary" This contemplates some
means of protection for vessels anchored
in the roads, provided it is found neces-
sary after the completion of the present
projected Improvements on the harbor

THE MASS MEETINGS DISCUSSED
The Citizens Club Holds Forth at
Turner's Hall.


The Citizens Club held a meeting in
Turner's hall last night. Echoes from
the hall could be heard every time a
speaker made an anti-Tammany hit.
The principal feature of the meeting
was speaking. First, however. number
OF new members were elected, running
the clubs membership. so several of its
members stated, beyond the 2 600 mark.
The resolution with regard to a primary
election within the club in order 10 give
all the members an opportunity to have a
cholce IN the clubs nominations was not
reported. The committee which has
charge of the resolution asked for further
time in which to make a report and the
matter was passed until another time.
The entire club, however. is thoroughly
lmbued with the idea that it is the thing
Ihey say 1t will be impossible TO get the
entire membership into one hall at the
same time. Consequently, the proper
thing to do is to let the candidates show
their heads and then let each member of
the club say which he would like to have
represent him.
AS there was no resolution under dis
cussion the most interesting topic was
taken up by the speakers, among whom
were J. S. Collins, I. d. Rockwell, Wal
ter LaRoche, Waring Russell, John
Schwarz, G. b. Whatley and others. The
subject was the mass meetings. The
speakers all urged the members to organ
ize and attend the mass meetings next
week. 1t is said no opposition was mani
tested with regard TO the places men
TONED for holding the meetings, though
the members generally from the Fourth
district do not like the idea of Assem- bling
at the police barracks, as they say there
will not be room for the crowd.
After the club meeting ad 5ourned the
Second district members heldsa meeting
with the intention of effecting some or
ganization for the mass meetings. but
the crowd was too small and nothing
decided to put the meeting off until to-
morrow night, when the Second strict
members of the club will meet, organize
and discuss the situation

etc, included the negro II. L. Fred

L. B. Thompson and r. X. Wright, Jr.,

guments on both sides were clear and
well brought out. MIR. r. B. Reppard and
Col. J. H. Deveaux and j. H. kinckle were

tive.

MAY BE A COMPROMISE.
Director Wrenne Of the Electric Rail-
way Here on Business.

Mr.. T. w. Wrenne, of Nashville, is in
the city. Mr. Wrenne is here upon bust
ness connected with the Electric railway,
of which he is a, director. The fight now
on between the Electric and the City and
Suburban railway is what brings him to
Savannah.
Mr.. Wrenne said yesterday that after
examining the accounts of the Electric
railway he has not found that the com
pany has suffered any serious loss by rea-
son of the cutting of fares by its rival
The receipts last month, he said, were
very little less than for the same month
last year, the small deficit being amply
accounted for by the greater scarcity Of
money this year and the general hard
times.
Director j. n. Hartman, of the CITY
and Suburban railway, is expected back
from New York to-day or tomorrow. 1t
is expected that he win come prepared to
put new Vigor in the fight, but it is posi-
BILE that there may be a compromise. 1t
need be no surprise if Mr.. Wrenne and
Mr.. Hartman should fix up another deal.
They have got in the habit of doing this
though the deals have never amounted to
anything as yet.

Shoot At Camp Ncrthen.
The Savannah Cadets were expecting a
days shooting at Camp Northen at the
conclusion of the present tour, which will
be about June Is, and it was Capt.
Brooks intention to take the entire com
pany up to Griffin.
Capt, Brooks has received information,
however, that there were so many appli-
cations for the practice that it Will be i'm
possible for the state military authorities
TO have any OF the commands in camp
after the conclusion of the regular tour.
This is quite a disappointment to the Ca
diets, as they were expecting TO make
some good comparative scores on the
camp ranges. As the application of this
company was the first one in, it is likely
that all of them will be similarly treated,
and there will be no camp shoots outside
Of the regular tours.
The Georgia Hussars We're expecting
also to 90 up for a days shooting,
but, like the Cadets, they, too, will have
TO remain at home.
The Savannah Rifle Association, it is
understood, is arranging for a prize
shoot week from Thursday, which viii
be June IA. The contest win be for the
association medal, and no doubt large
number of military men will participate.

Likely TO BE A CHANGE.
The Probable Consolidation Of tht
Plant Auditing Departments.

me probable CONSERVATION or the
Plant Auditing Departments.
Mr. c. T. Morel, general accountant of
the Plant system, returned yesterday
from New York, where he has been on
business. MIR. Morel said to a MORNING
News reporter, that he has received no
official notification of the reported pros
pective consolidation of the auditing
offices of the Plant system, and diu not
know that the consolidation would be
made. He admitted, however, that there
are indications that such will be the case
and it is possible that il may be done this
month. Mr.. Morel said the reports of
wholesale reductions to be made in the
auditing Office in consequence of the
change, are preposterous.
There are now twenty-three men EN-
ployed in the auditing Office" he said.
"A consolidation would necessitate the
employment of a few more men at this
Office instead of reducing the force. 1t is
possible that those men who have not
given satisfaction will be dropped and
good men from the other auditing offices
substituted in their places. | do not
know that this will be done, however"
Mr.. Morel said he did not see Mr.. Plant
in New York, and nothing was said to
HIM there about the Consolida ton.
IF Mr. Plant decides to consolidate the
Offices he will do it whenever he gets
ready" said Mr.. Morel. He might is
sue the order at once, and he might issue
it three months hence"
Mr.. Morel said that desks have been
placed in the Savannah Office for five
more clerks which would indicate that
there was to be an increase in the force
Traffic Manager Owens of the Plant
system said yesterday that there is no
probability of any change in the passen-
ger ana freight departments as at present
arranged and all reports of this character
are prepOS kerOus
