TWICE AS MUCH PHOSPHATE.
SAVANNAH'S SHIPMENTS so FAR
DOUBLE THOSE OF LAST YEAR.

The Total shipments of Florida Rock
From Savannah From September
LIST to Date 2O,OS9 Tons-Last Years
Shipments For the Same Period
Were 1O,sI0 Tons-The Freight
Room Engaged Indicates a Contin-
uRnce of Heavy Shipments.
The season which began Sept. l. 1894, has
been one of considerable activity in the
shipments of Florida phosphate rock from
this port TO Europe. The shipments are
about double those for the same period
last year. The fact that tonnage has been
offered at Savannah. for a part cargo Of
phosphate rock, the steamers finishing
their freight room with cotton, has given
advantages to the Florida shippers of
phosphate, and the consequence has been
a greatly increased percentage of exports
from Savannah.
Beginning with September Of last year,
there has been shipped from this port
to date 9oOS9 tons of phosphate rock. as
follows: Eight steamers to Germany. car
rying a total of c, $50 tons; three steamers
to England carrying 1858 tons; two steam
ers to France carrying 3757 tons; one
steamer to Denmark carrying S,lO4 tons
two steamers to Italy, carrying, 1720 tons,
and one steamer to Austria, carrying 1900
tons.
The shipments for the same period last
year were: 10S19 tons, or $40 tons less
than this seasons shipments so far. The
movements were: Two steamers to the
Netherlands, carrying 4,971 tons; two
steamers to Italy, carrying 1920 tons; two
steamers to Germany. carrying 1,4S3 tons;
one steamer to France, carrying 1,006 tons
and one steamer to England, carrying 1877
tons.
The amount shipped between the middle
of February and the first of September
last year was % 1876 tons, being cargoes on
nine steamers for Europe, making a to-
tai of 81, 3l5 tons for the commercial year.
This shows that the amount shipped after
February last year was about two-thirds
of the total shipments during the year.
Up to this time the increase of ship
ments is nearly double last year. and as
the future engagements of freight room
are said to be greatly in excess Of those
of last year. it is presumed that by the end
of October next, the total shipments viii
be 100 per cent. above those of 1884. The
numbers of steamers carrying phosphate
from Savannah so far this year is the same
as the number for all of last year.

TO DISTRIBUTE POTATOES.
The County Has Lot 1t Does Not
Know What to Do with.

Know what to Do with.
It is likely that a hundred bushels of
potatoes or more will be distributed short
ly among charitable institutions of the
city.
Commissioner Kehoe, chairman of the
committee on county farm. announced
yesterday that there are about 800 bushels
Of potatoes on hand that the county could
not feed to the conyicts and could not dis
pose Of and that unless something was
done with them they would rot on the
countys hands.
Mr.. Carson offered a resolution that
at least 100 bushels of them be distributed
among the three orphanages, the hospi-
tails, the Abrahams Home and the Lit
tie Sisters of the Poor Mr.. Kehoe sec
onded the resolution, but the commits
sioners finally decided to leave the matter
TO the committee on farm with power to
act.
As Mr.. ISehoe, the chairman Of this com
mittee, and another member Of it are in
favor of the distribution Of the potatoes
among the charitable institutions Of the
city, that disposition will likely be made
of q large portion of them.

NO SILVER BILL TO BE PASSED.
The Events of the Past Two Days in
the Senate Only Bluff.

The Events of the Past Two Days in
the senate Only Bluff.
Washington. Feb. 1s.-There viii be no
silver bill passed in the Senate this ses-
sion. and there is no reason why all Of
the general appropriation bills should not
be passed before noon on March 4. The
bluff of the silver men, which began in the
Senate yesterday, was played to a finish
after an all day session, which lasted well
into the night. The plan arranged between
the free silver men of the south and
west, and the sound money men of the
east, to make display of their respective
forces, was executed to the letter They
may have deceived those who were not
aware of the programme as arranged, but
the developments to-day fully justifies the
statements made in these dispatches last
night. 1t was simply a dress parade of
the two elements-gold and silver-and il
was never intended that a decisive vote
on the Jones bill should be taken. To-
night both sides claim to have won a vic
tory by securing an adjournment without
a final vote being reached. The friends
of honest money determined that in view
of the existing conditions, 1t might impair
the credit of the government to commit
the Senate to a free silver bill. On the
other hand, the free silver men We're con-
tented if they could force their opponents
to the point OF flibustering against the
measure. The republicans, who are posing
as bi-metallists. did not wish to go on
record as voting against the Jones bill,
for they feared it might injure the presI-
Dental prospects of Senator Allison of
Iowa, or Representative Reed of Maine,
both of whom claim to be bi-metallists
Senator Hill also desired to maintain his
peculiar position as a hi-metallist without
being forced to vote for the Jones bill.
There were others in the same boat, hence
the day was practically wasted, and the
result is summed up in the opening SEN
tence of this dispatch.

A RELATED BRIDEGROOM.
He Missed the Train and the We'd
ding Kad 20 Wait.

ding Had to wait.
Rev. J. ". Foy of Waycross was TO have
welded Miss Anderson at Wadley last
night, but the wedding didn't come off.
It was postponed because the bridegroom
wasn't On hand. When he should have
been smiling on his happy bride he was
in Savannah bemoaning his unhappy lot,
and feeling anything but like bride
groom.
Rev. Mr. Foy arrived in Savannah from
Waycross yesterday morning, and was TO
have gone to Wadley on the Central train
leaving here In the forenoon. While walt
ing in this station he discovered that his
trunk in which was his bridal suit had not
shown up. While looking for his baggage,
the story goes, the train pulled out and
left him. When the time for the wedding
came he was hundred miles away.
The expectant bride was notified Of the
circumstances, and the reverend gentle
man settled down to make the best OF his
misfortune. He left for Wadiey on the next
trqir
