NO FUNDS TO KEEP UP WORK.
THE MONEY FOR THE SAVANNAH
HARBOR ALL PLEDGED.

Unless Congress Comes to Our Re-
lief All Work Will stop With ia g
Completion of the Present Project
of ImprOvement-The Entire APP
preparation VIII Have Been EN-
hausted by June, 1S97-NO PrOvIs-
ion for Maintaining the Work Al
ready Done.
The statement from Washington yes
terday TO the effect that there is plenty
of money on hand TO keep up work in the
Savannah harbor is not correct. and -he
further statement that on Nov. l. 1895,
there were S410723 available is misead-
ing.
Capt. O. NJ. Carter, corps of engineers,
was seen at his office yesterday morning
and in referring to the matter admitted
that as a matter of fact no funds what
ever are available for the maintenance of
the harbor depths, ana also that the sum
in question is pledged 20 contractors for
work necessary to complete the present
project Of Improvement, which viii be
about June /, 1897 on that date there
viii then be available no funds for work
of any description in Savannah harbor,
unless congress comes TO its relief
1t is estimated that if the extension CT
the oyster bed training wall at Tybee
roads is made less than 100000 will SUI
flee for annual maintenance; if that eX-
tension is not built, perhaps S20O,OJ0 VIII
be required for annual maintenance. As
river and harbor bills are passed only BIZ
ennially, there should be S5OOOO0 appro-
priated in this years bill for mainten-
anCe. If the extension of the oyster bed
training wall is not to- be built, or $ZO0,OU0
if that work is 10 be undertaken.
Gas a result of the work done by the
government in the Savannah harbor, the
naViga BILE depth is constantly increasing
and more shipping is each year seeking
protection for all such vessels can be al
forded for about per cent. of the value
of the shipping annually exposed to de-
structiOn at that point.
The continuation of the oyster bed
training wall is necessary for the devel-
opment and maintaining of the naVigable
channels and the anchorage.
1t is imperative that a recommendation
for funds for maintaining the works of
Improvement should be at once made by
the engineer department, otherwise the
harbor will be left entirely without funds
for maintenance and a serious blockade
of Savannah's commerce is likely to re-
suit. For economy in construction and
for the benefit of commerce the work
should be completed at the earliest prac-
ticable date.
AS it will cost the government $3.50 0
annually 10 maintain the 26-foot depth
in the river should the oyster. bed train
ing wall not be constructed and only $780,
COO annually should that important work
be built, a saving of $4,000 per year
would be effected, which would pay for
the extension in between six and seven
years.

THE BETHESDA BOYS "TRIP.
They VIII Leave for the Exposition
Tonight.

Tonight.
The Bethesda boys will leave for the ex-
position tonight fifty strong, in charge of
their teachers and members of the Savan-
nah committee of arrangements.
The boys will be furnished with a special
sleeper 20 Atlanta by President Conner,
and on arrival there the car will be taken
out to the exposition grounds over the
Southern Railway track. Capt. Purse, who
took charge of the Atlanta end of the ar
rangements has secured a rate of admis-
sion of 10 cents each for the boys. and also
for the other orphans excursions, which
will follow. This is the lowest admission
rate yet made by the exposition company.
Arrangements have been made for the
boys to take their meals at the restau-
rant Just inside the gate from the railway
entrance. The boys will be well fed. The
contract calls for a plentiful supply of
good plain food hot and well served For
breakfast they viii be given milk, coffee
and tea, beefsteak, ham. eggs, hominy and
bread. The bill of fare at dinner will in
clude beef. chicken, turkey potatoes, rice
bread and other accessories and supper
will be of the same order. If the restau-
rant carries out its contract the boys will
have no cause to complain on that score.
The day will be spent on the grounds,
and the party will return to Savannah by
the night train.

MUSTN'T PHOTOGRAPH THE FORTS
An English Amateur artist Tries at
Fort OglefhOrpe.


Mr.. Alexander Could. a gentleman f:o'n
England, who is making tour on tire
british steamship City Of Wakefield, got
into little trouble with United States
Commissioner Connolly. which doubtless
proved an unpleasant surprise for him.
The charge against Mr.. Gould was TAX
ing photographs OF a government fortif-
cations, which 1t is against the law Tor
foreigners to do. and for citizens OF this
country also without permission.
Mr.. Gould is one of the owners OF the
City OF Wakefield. and is also an amea-
teur PHOTOGRAPHER and an expert pedes-
TRAN. To kill time he has been touring
the neighbOrhoOd OF Savannah, going as
FAR west as POtters Grove, and to White
Btuu, montgomery, Isle Of Hope, Beau
lieu, BOnaventure and ThunderbOlt- In
MS Wanderings on foot he CHANGED on
Fort OglethOrpe where he, as in other
places, took snap shots of its surround
ings.
As a result he was arrested by Depu-
" United states Marshall Ben J. Wilson
on warrant sworn out before Commits
sioner Connolly, charging him with tres
passing upon government property. Mr..
Gould was very much surprised at his
arrest but promptly gave bond to ap-
pear Tor examination before the commits
soiner.
The matter was settled yesterday, how
ever by Mr.. Gould agreeing to give up
all the photographs which ne had taken
or Fort Oglethorpe, or Fort Jackson, as
IL IS commonly called. The fort is a ven
eFdDle iOfUucatiOn which would be ami
hliated by one shell center shot from the
big gun of modern warship Neverthe-
less the nited States government is very
strict IN its regulations respecting its de-
fenseS ana il is strictly against these to
allow photographs to be taken of the forth
cations, the idea being, of course. that
might IL be for the use and information
of foreign government.
Commissioner Connolly as a vigilant
public servant, took prompt steps to en-
force the law. As 1t appeared, however,
that Mr.. Gould was entirely innocent of
any intention of violating the case was
uropped on the condition stated.

FIGHT or THE UNDER WRITER'S :.
Against the savannah Insurance
Company.

The result of the appeal of the Savan-
nah underwriters to the Southeastern
Tariff Association against the Savannah
Insurance Agency was a partial victory
for the company. The company is a stock
concern, organized for the purpose of do
ing regular insurance agency business,
but the insurance agents claim that if
is merely a device for giving rebates
through the medium of dividends.
Ide matter was brought to the atten-
uon of the executive committee of the
Southeastern Tariff Association by the Sa-
Nannah underwriters who urged that the
company's method of doing business was
a violation of the rules of the association
prohibiting the giving of rebates.
The executive committee decided that
while the company was not in violation
of any actual rule of the tariff associa-
ton il was contrary to the spirit of the
organization because the dividends re-
ceiVed by members were in effect in the
nature of rebates. 1t was accordingly de-
cided to request the companies represent
ed by the agency to withdraw their repre-
sentation, which was done.
In the language of Mr.. j. T. Rowland,
the organizer and manager of the Sa-
vannah agency, this request was polite
~ declined by the companies to which it
was addressed. They replied that as no
actual rule existed against such a method
of doing business they could not accede
to the request, as compliance with the
actual rules was as much as could be ok
pected especially when certain existing
also referred to in the replies that com
panies are represented in many places in
the jurisdiction of the tariff association
by corporations, whose stockholders re-
celve dividends or premiums just as much
as do the stockholders of the Savannah
Insurance Agency.
This leaves the matter for the present
in statu quo and the stock agency will
continue to do business for awhile ion
ger. The underwriters are not satisfied
with the status OF affairs, however, and
there is certain to be a fight on the Sa-
Vannah agency at the next meeting of
the Southeastern Tariff Association.
