John l.. Sullivan, the pugilist, the
bruiser. the brute. in spite Of all the
thousands he has won by the practice
of his brutal profession and the NOR
bid curiosity that impelled thousands
to go to see him as an actor is 'dead
broke" financially, physically, morally
and there is talk that he is going to
appear as q Temperance lecturer.
This might be well If there was any
possibility that. this exponent of
brutality had reformed. but there is
not. AS prize fighter he has been
defeated and is OF no account. as an
actor he has ingloriously failed and
has ceased to draw paying houses, as
a man he is a wreck, and in his pro-
posed new character as reformer he
does. not deserve support. He has
been brute and bully all his life
and his present condition is the result
OF drunkenness and debsuchery OF the
vilest description. the sooner Sulli-
van and all his clan are hidden in OBJ
scurity the better it will be for the
country.

GOES OUT INTO DEEP WATER.
THE LIMIT OF UNCLE SANS JURIs-
DICTION IN SAVANNAH WATERS.

4 VexatiOus Question TO Shipping
Men settled by the Treasury De-
partment-The Limit of the United
states at the Mouth of the Savnn-
nah River IA Line From Tybee
Island Past the WhistIing Buoy to
BraddOck Point on HiIsOn Head.
President Purse Of the board Of trade
received an important communication
from the treasury department yesterday
in reply to a request made by him upoa
the department some time ago that the
boundary line or limit of jurisdiction OF
the authority of the United States in the
Savannah waters should be definitely de
fined.
This is a question which has caused
considerable trouble 10 the shipping IN
terests Of Savannah for long time, as
to where the jurisdiction of the United
States ended. or. rather. how far from
shore it extended, and where the jurisdic-
ton Of international law begun.
The sea being the great highway OF
the nations of the world and controlled
by no one of them, is controlled by agree
ment among the leading maritime nations
and all matters of dispute beween cit
liens of different countries are adjusted
by what is known as International law.
International law is a good thing In Its
way, but when an American has a little
matter of business in dispute with the
Inject of some other country he much
prefers to have it adjusted according to
the laws of his own country.
The line where the jurisdiction of the
federal courts ends and that of the inter
national law begins has never been accu-
rately defined in these waters, it seems,
and the uncertainty has been the cause of
considerable trouble to pilots, tugboat
owners and Others having dealings with
vessels putting into the port. If the cap
tain OF a foreign vessel could claim that
he was outside the jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States when trouble occurred between
him and his pilot. he could appeal to the
consular representative of his government
and the settlement of the dispute was
likely to be very tedious one. 1t was
for the purpose of having the boundary
line definitely established that Capt. Purse
addressed communication on the sub
ject to the treasury department.
The following is the boundary as outlined
by Commissioner Eugene T. Chamberlain:
From Tybee whistling bouy, N. N w.
1916 w, through north slue channel, outer
bouy, to Braddock Point, Hilton Head is
land, and from Tybee whistling bouy to
Tybee island
Practically the boundary is a line drawn
from the whistling bouy to Braddock
Point on Hilton Head island, which puts
the jurisdiction of Judge Speer's court
well out into deep water. All matters re-
curing adjudication occurring within that
line can be taken into the United States
courts for settlement

most as unbearable as the night before.
Towards midnight, however. a sea breeze
began blowing. and tired sleepers had a

curry registered 50 degrees.
The indications at midnight for to-day
were for partly cloudy weather. with

TO GO AHEAD WITH THE ROAD.

In all about twenty-eight miles Of the
track has been laid from Bruton toward

more to lay 10 complete IL between these
Two points.
Receiver Young said that the fact that
the negotiation with the Macon and Dub

owing 90 the fact that the receiver was IN
there was nothing 10 do but for the own

A NEW DEPOT BEFORE LONG.
The Plant System Looking over the
Plans of 1859.


The matter of a new depot for the Plant
system Is being agitated again, and the
latest move in that direction is the pho
tographing Of the plans for such a struc-
ture. These plans were drawn by an en-
gineer connected with the system in 1889,
and a complete account of them was given
in the Morning News at the time.
The photographs of the plans which
Col. b. w. Wrenn. passenger traffic man
ager. has just secured, snow the front
and side elevation of the proposed struc-
ture The front is designed for Liberty
street.
The design is that of a three-story
office building fronting on Liberty street,
with main entrance in the center, above
which rises a parapet, and behind this
is the shed, which rises to about the CEN
ter of the third story Of the office build
ing. Should the design ever be carried
out the structure will be a fine addition
to the architecture of Savannah, and an
ornament to the city. Col Wrenn was
asked yesterday what had been done in
the matter.
Il have been pushing the matter of a new
depot for Savannah for all 1t is worth, ,"
he said, land l don't think there is much
doubt now about our having one within a
comparatively short time. Mr.. Plant is
just now occupying himself with that new
ship and until he gets through with that
/ hardly expect him to give his attention
to anything else. But when that is off his
hands 1 believe he will take up the matter
of new depot for this city and arrange
to have 1t built at once.
mo, it has not been decided yet when
bids viii be called for or just what will be
done in that direction, but l think it is
about definitely settled that there will be
new depot. and II will be beauty. 1t will
cost probably something like 500, 900, and
will be built after the most modern plans.
and equipped with every comfort and con-
venience."
There are many who will be glad to
see that some interest is being manifested
in this matter by the Plant system Of
ficials. The people of Savannah have been
endeavoring for a long time to impress
upon them the necessity of making this
Improvement, but all opportunities have
been met with silence until now. Now the
people win not be satisfied until they get
the depot.

DON'T WANT TO ne CHIEF.
Alderman sereven Says He's Not At
ter McDermOtts Place.

AGN
Alderman Thomas Screven states most
emphatically that there is no truth in the
report that he has any designs upon the
Office Of chief of police.
There has been no particular discus
sion Of any measure looking to a change
in the management of the fire and police
departments" he said, 'fn some time, and
nothing definite has been decided as to
what will be done. But If the departments
should be placed under a board of com
missloners it will be done to remove them
from the sphere Of politics.
Il want to say, however. that 1 have
never had 1t suggested to me even TO be
an applicant for the position of chief of po-
lice. Not only that, but such an idea has
never occurred to me, and there is abso-
lutely no foundation for it. As chairman
of the police committee / am thoroughly
satisfied with the work of the department
under its present head, and 1 think he
should by all means remain there He has
made an able chief so far, and there is no
reason why he should not continue to do
so. So far as I know the same is true of
Alderman Willink. who is chairman of the
fire committee. 1 am not in a position
however, to speak positively for him."
