HENDERSON TALKS.
Says He Had No Intention Of Injur-
ing Barr.

ing Barr.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O.-Charles
B. Henderson, the commercial traveller
of Rochester, n. Y, who murdered
Clarence Barr, last Saturday, has
made a statement regarding the
crime. He says F'arr struck him, and
that he drew his pocket knife to
frighten his antagonist, rather than
to injure him. When Barr approached
him the second time, Henderson said
he fourisaled his knife without intend
ting to injure him, and was surprised
when he found that he had stabbed
the man. Henderson still refuses to
tell anything about his family or his
business affairs in the east. His wife
and three children, he says, are at
present with his nlother-in-law at Buff
falo, n. Y. He refuses to tell the
name of the boot and shoe firm for
which he has Travelled, on the ground
that the company has requested him
not to do so.

ers. the Raleigh and the Atlanta, in our
harbor, within very short distance of

city, There can no longer be any doubt.
even IN the minds OF those 10 whom a
ground for doubt is a source OF satisfac-
tion. that Savannah harbor has undergone
a wonderful Improvement, and Is now
capable Of accommodating ships of very
nearly the largest draft. The Raleigh
draws twenty feet. and even at low water
she lies perfectly easy at her anchorage.
The ships would have been brought in
front OF the city had there not been some
doubt as to whether. lying in mid-stream.
they would not interfere with passing
ships. and whether there would not be
some difficulty in turning them around.
as IN turning they require a channel fully
508 feet in width.
However they are near enough for all
practical purposes. They demonstrate TO

any ship engaged in foreign or domestic
commerce, and that the money appropri-
ated by congress for the harbor's improve
ment has not been wasted.
As matter of fact. Savannah has now
channel to the sea twenty-six feet deep.
and there is no reasonable ground for
doubling that the works that have been
constructed will maintain it at that depth.
The Savannah bar. as we have stated sew
eral times recently. is the best on the
South Atlantic coast. 1t has undergone
scarcely any perceptible change in the last
half century.
Many thousands Of people have visited
the Raleigh and the Atlanta during the

SO courteously and kindly, and aided so
efectually and unostentatiously to learn
as much as they desired about the Ships
that their pride in the new navy has been
greatly strengthened and their high opin-
ion OF American naval officers confirmed.

President Dole to do, if he wishes to sus-

would not make great deal of difference
