Savannah and cotton Factories.

Tho city council is wiling to do whatever
IT is possible for it to 10 to encourage
the building of cotton factories or any
other kind of factories in this city. That
1t Is fully alive to the Importance of the
matter is shown by the resolution offered
at it's meeting Wednesday night by Alder
man Garrard, and promptly adopted. Most
Of the members are discussing it with the
view Of getting the views OF citizens who
are interested IN advancing the prosperity
Of the city.
TO some of the most plausible sugges-
tions very serious objections have been
presented. However where there is q will
there is almost always a way, and it is
probable that plan will be presented
that will have strong attractions for those
who are contemplating erecting factory
plants in the south.
While 1t is true that Savannah is a
commercial city there is no reason why
she should not become a manufacturing
city also. She has advantages for manu-
featuring which have been pointed out
frequently. They are such as to justify
the conclusion that they viii not be over
looked
But we must not depend wholly upon
those advantages. We must make an
effort-a dozen efforts if need be--in our
own behalf. None are so successful as
those who help themselves, and If we
are to make Savannah a manufacturing
city we must all pull together in that
direction If we should do that we would
be successful. There is no doubt about
that.
And We need factories greatly. We
have the material for factory labor and
1t is now unemployed. We must provide
employment for it. The city council
should give this factory question very
serious attention.

That Chinese warship Chen Yuen seems
to be something of an aquatic celestial
Banquo's ghost. She won't down. Not
withstanding she was beached and blown
UP at the Yalu night, and sunk at
Port Arthur, and torpedoed and sunk
again at Wei-Hsi-Wei, the dispatches
OF yesterday said she was still afioat il
must be rather annoying to the japanese
to have to sink the Chen YUen so often.
and as often to see her. like the comic op-
era man, bob up serenely from below
and it is certainly trying to the nerves OF
followers of war news on this side of the
water. to read so many narrowing ac-
counts of the terrible disasters to the
Chen Yuen, and the consequent losses of
life. At last advices this most lively Of
warshps was afioat. 1t is sincerely 10
be hoped that the next time the japanese
sink her they win put shot enough into
her to make her stay sunk.

came to Topeka with the intention of
passing bill reducing the fees and
salaries of county officers, but
The best laid plans Of mice and men, etc
The trouble was that the two houses
were SO far apart in their ideas of the
best method of reducing the fees and
any measure at all. The house passed
what is known as the 'sBallinger bill"
This measure left the plan Of paying
the county officers as it is now, but
changed the fees to be charged by
the different officers to a much lower
figure than is now allowed by law.
The senate passed the Taylor bill,
which abolishes the fee system almost
entirely, and placed all the county
officers upon a salary basis. and re-
duced the salaries, too A conference
committee was appointed but the COM
mittee was as far apart as the legisla-
ture itself so that no agreement was
reached at all, and no law enacted
No More Enrolling Clerks
The Cooke BILL" which passed the
senate early in the session, was one of
the measures whic b became a law dur
ing the closing hours of the legisla-
ture. This bill is of more Importance
than has been accredited to 1t. The
opening days of every session of the
legislature In the past has been taken
up with scrambles and contentious
concerning the enrolling forces of each
house. These positions have usually
been given to women, and the usher
ing in of every session brings a bevy
of the fair sex to the capital city in
search of places upon the enrolling
force. The two houses elected
thirty enrolling clerks to perform the
work of the last session, although the
entire force was not used until near
the end of the session. This alone en-
tailed a cost upon the state in salaries
in that department OF $3.50 per day, be-
sides the salaries of the chief clerk of
each house.
The Cooke law abolishes the office of
enrolling clerk entirely, and provides
for the printing of bills upon parch-
ment paper by the state printer, which
will be a saving to the state each ses-
sion of several thousand dollars The
state paid not less than SO, 900 for en-
rolling bills during the session just
closed. The Cooke law will reduce the
| amount more than one-half.

IN SOUTHERN WATERS.

A Strong American Squadron will Rem
 dezvous Near Colon OstensibIy for Dril-
 ling Onicers and Men, But Really to
 Serve Notice on John Bull to Keep His
 Hands on Venezuela and Other Ameri-
 can Republics.
 CHICAGO, Oct. s.-A Washington spe- cial to an evening paper says:
 The United States will certainly make demonstration along the north coast of South America during the coming winter. Heretofore it has not been customary to continue the evolutions of the squadrons throughout the winter months. This is especially true of the North Atlantic squadron, and yet, owing to the situ- ation as it exists in Cuba and in Vene- zuela, with the fear of British aggres- sion, the secretary of the navy has de- cided to order that the North Atlantic squadron shall continue its evolutions throughout the winter months.
 But, instead of confining the opera tions to the stretch of water between St Augustine and Newport, the yes sells of the squadron will rendezvous E evolutions will be conducted around the West Indian islands, in the Car ribean sea and in the Gulf of Mexico
 It is the intention of the department to add number of new cruisers, ana, probably, the Indiana, to the North Atlantic fleet, and altogether the squadron of evolution, if it may he SO called, will be of such a character as to profoundly impress any foreign nation, even so powerful one as Great Britain, with the strength of the American navy.
 These evolutions, while ostensibly conducted for the purpose of drilling the officers and men of the ships of the navy in the evolutions of modern naval warfare, are without question to be carried on for the prime purpose of having powerful fleet in the vicinity of the trouble if trouble occurs
 With headquarters probably at Co., lon, there will be almost constant communication between the admiral in command of the fleet and the navy department, and should the occasion arise, as 1t is feared that it may, for something more than diplomacy in the Venezuelan-Cu Cuban matter, a powerful fleet would be within an hours com munication of Washington, and at the same time within twenty-four hours sailing distance of the probable seat of the troubles
 In the navy department this new movement is regarded as of the utmost Importance, and as of far more sig nihcance than any similar action of the authorities for many years past.
 It means that the administration proposes to strictly enforce the Monroe doctrine and to have a power behind itself to bring about the enforcement.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Attv. Gen. Har- mon reiterates his statement made last week that the Corbett- -Fitz- simmous fight will not come off on any ground over which the United States has jurisdiction. The talk that the Six Nations, or other Indian tribes have exclusive iurisdic- tion over their reservations or coun- try, and that by adopting the prize fighters as members of their tribe can thus put them outside the pale of federal jurisdiction, is regarded in federal legal circles here as simply non- sense without basis of fact. The fur ther contention that there is any ground within the boundaries of the United States over which some state or the United States has not police Jurisdiction, is regarded as equally ab- surd. Sluggers island in the Missouri river, which is classed as neutral ground, " is under the police jurisdic- ton of the state of Missouri

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS

Hold Up an Electric Car in the Outskirts Of ChicagC and Escape Without Leaving 1Iew-The Ladies Galiantiy Allowed to Retain Their Naluables The Only Passenger Hurt One Who Was shot by His Own Pistol
 CHICAGO, Oct. S-Five armed and masked road agents held up an elec- tric car on the outskirts of the city be- tween and 9 o'clock last night, and went through the passengers in regu- lar train-robber fashion. One passen- ger was shot, and the robbers escaped without leaving clew of any kind as to their identity.
 The spot selected for the robbery was near the Berwin-avenue crossing of Evanston avenue, the latter thorough fare being the one used by the North Shore Electric Street Railway Co. for its cars between the northern city linn its and the suburban city of Evans ton. The car makes fast time along this stretch of the run, and last night it had eighteen passengers, two of whom were women.
 AS the car approached Berwin ave- nue, north-bound, the motorman mo- ticed group of men standing at the side of the track. At the moment he noticed the men two of them stepped out Tn front of the car and signaled to stop. As the ear came to standstill two of Che robbers stepped upon the Front platform and three ascended the steps of the rear platform.
 Then it was noticed that the men wore masks and their purpose was sus- pected. The suspicion was not formed in the minds of the passengers when one of the robbers opened the front door and said: If you people behave yourselves and make no noise you wont get hurt. But you've got to keep quiet and give up what you've got"
 His remarks were reinforced with a huge revolver and the passengers were thinking about giving resistance when the lights in the car went out, the thieves having taken off the trolly pole and removed the generator so that the power could not be governed. The darkness compelled the passen- gers to submit, and then the searching
 
 bers were gallant enough to let the women alone, but the men were we'll searched.
 When the rob As came to T. P. Nesbitt, of Evanston, he resisted Drawing a revolver from his pocket he attempted to use it, but one of the thieves struck his arm with the breech of a revolver, and the arm fell. As it did so the pistol was discharged and the bullet entered Mir. Nesbitt's leg, making painful but not dangerous wound.
 This ended all attempt at resistance on the part of the passenger. The conductor saved his money by drop ping 1t down between the walls of the car at the window openings.
 Half an hour after it was all over a police officer saw four men driving south on Evanston avenue, about a mile from the scene of the rob obbery. 1t Is supposed these four took part in the hold up,
