approached on the same line, and with
one exception they all expressed the same
views They have had little or no trou-
bic with the railroads, they say, and 50
far as they can see, Savannah's DIM
Guilty has been in securing proportionate
ocean rates. Two Of the exporters stat
ed that they had frequently been COM
PEELED to ship through other ports because
of the high ocean rates, and they did nor
attribute It to the railroad rates, they
said, as they had secured proportionate
railroad rates to Savannah and to the
ports through which they shipped their
cargoes.
There is no doubt that the coming OF
the new company means fight, and a
hard one. but who will be victorious II
remains to be seen. The ship brokers.
and those Interested in the matter, spent
the day yesterday discussing it, though
every now and then the national election
was referred to. They put in word Tor
the Southern also, some of them saying
they believed that one reason for the
great rush of cotton to Norfolk was the
efforts of the Southern railway to make
good showing, so as to float its bonds.
This Is one of the points made by Capt.
d. G. Purse in his argument that has
been prepared to show that the railroads
are trying to divert traffic
President d. G. Purse Of the board of
trade expressed himself as delighted with
the announcement OF Mr.. conner plans.
Il knew that Mr.. Conner had had confer
ences with Mr.. Johnston" said he, land 1
am not surprised at the announcement.
While Mr.. Corners plan does not fall In
with Mr.. Stevens plan for the Manches|
ter canal it bears a close reiation to it and
the agitation of the latter undoubtedly had
something to do with bringing about the
arrangement. Mr. Johnston is Mr.. Stevens
close personal friend, and the two con-
ferred together with Mr.. Conner in New
York after Mr. Stevens visit here. What
Mr.. Conner undertakes to do he usually
carries out, and 1 believe the direct line
will be a success. 1t is a great thing for
Savannah. 1t is just what 1 have been
agitating for and I am just as we'll pleased
as If 1 had the credit for the accomplish
ment"

MAYOR MYERS ON QUARANTINE

MADE TO THE SANITARY BOARD.

Where They VIII He Given Prompt

He Explains the Order to Let Quar-
nntine Employees Come Up to Vote.
Savannah's Quarantine More Lib
eraI Now Than in the Recent Past,
the Mayor Says.
The article in the Morning News yester-
day on the complaints against the Savan-
nah quarantine was read with interest by
business men and was heartily endorsed
by the shipping people as being a correct
statement of their grievances
A meeting of the sanitary board was
held at noon, but Mayor Myers stated
that the articleli in the Morning News was
not brought before the board for consid-
Grafton.
1--WE do not consider complaints made In
that manner" said he. IF the shipping
people have complaints to make they
should make them to the sanitary board.
The board has never refused to consider
complaints properly laid before it. 1t is not
true that complaints before the board are
treated discourteously We endeavor to
treat every one with courtesy who comes
before u.s."
1.-The complaints against our quaran-
tine are not justified" continued Mayor
Myers. "Our quarantine is more liberal
now than it has been for long time past.
The belief entertained by some people that
DR.. Drummer rules the board is not true.

inconvenience at quarantine now be-
cause of circumstances which can not be

1.-THE statement that the men at quar-
antine were allowed to come up to the
city to vote contrary to quarantine regula-
| tons, is misleading" said Mayor Myers.
| '"The crew of the city tug requested per-
mission to come up to the city to vote,
| and l granted the permission. The tug

anyway, so there was nothing unusual in

state of affairs and at once sought assist
ance. The trouble was there was no one
to appeal to. Neither the primary
nor the mass meeting executive
committees had made any pre-
parations for work at the polls. Some
said that Chairman d. B. Lester of the
district executive committee should have
attended to this work and others said
that they supposed all the details of the
election would be looked after by Capt
II. c. Cunningham, the chairman of the
committee of Col. Testers friends who
were to take charge of his campaign in
Chatham.
Capt. Cunningham held an informal con-
ference with number of Col. Lester s
friends In the city court room at 1O:30
o'clock He did not take the serious view
of the situation taken by many others.
He had no money to line workers and none
to buy votes, he said. 1t was decided to
secure some workers and challengers and
to get a couple of carriages to bring up
voters, which was done.
Many Of Col Testers friends, seeing the
situation, went to work in his behalf but
their work was individual and without or
ganization. Isaac Nathans and a few other
old hands at such work, put in their best
efforts, but their numbers were few. Maui
rice Buttimer and several other well known
workers of the Liberal Club, were at work
for Mr.. Doyle. This created some surprise
as Mr. Buttimer has always been regarded
as staunch democrat and a good parti-
san.
1t was talk around the court house that
the Liberals were knitting Col. Lester. 1t
was evident that many Irish voters were
voting for Doyle, especially in the Fourth
district. The Liberals were charged with
revenging themselves for the shutting
out of their delegation from the congress
sional convention and because Mr.. d. b.
Lester, who has been prominently men,
toned in connection with the A. p. A., had
been put at the head of the district execu-
tive committee. This talk was undoubt-

THE NEav TELEPHONE BUILDING
The Plans Approved and Work to
Begin in a short Time.

hCBlh HI u SHUT
There has been some delay in reaching
a decision upon the details Of the plans for
the new telephone building at Drayton and
Congress streets. The plans have, how
ever, at last been approved. The bids were
opened in Atlanta Saturday and forward
ed to New York. AS soon as the contract
has been awarded, which will be within a
few days, the preliminary work on the
building viii begin. Work will be pushed
rapidly and the result will be one of the
best designed and most perfect structures
for it's purpose ever erected.
1t has been definitely decided to build
a line connecting Savannah and Augusta.
This line will consist of metallic circuit,
or double wire of fine copper, by which it
will be possible to talk with parties in
Charleston, Augusta Columbia, Atlanta,
Columbus, Macon, Montgomery, Rome and
other cities, and ultimately New York and
Washington. The construction of this line
will begin in the course of few weeks.
In connection with the new telephone
building some radical notifications of the
telephone exchange plant and apparatus
will be introduced. Underground cables
of insulated copper wires encased in lead
pipes will be drawn into the subways,
costly switch board and distributing frame
of approved and modern designs will be
installed, and all the apparatus at sub
scribers stations VIM he changed.
The business of the Southern Bell Com
pany is laid out upon broad lines, with
reference TO furnishing the best and most
ample facilities to its patrons, and look
ing to the future development of its terri
tory and the expanding demands of bust
ness in the south, and it is entitled to the
supportsof the business community.
The September storm was a severe blow
to the Savannah exchange, but the emer-
gency was met with the usual energy of
the company's manager here, Mr.. Polk,
and service was restored as soon as was
possible 1t will be two months yet be-
fore all the damage by the storm has been
repaired. The Wilmington Island line is
still down, but will be in operation in a
short time.
The company will change its Tybee sta
ton within short time. The old martello
tower in which the station is located
will be within the ranger of the guns of
the heavy fortifications, which the govern
ment is about to erect on the north end OF
the island and a portion of the tower will
be torn down. Manager Polk has been
notified to remove the telephone station
from the government reservation, and as

The British steamship Tropea, Capt

Strachan & Co. for Hamburg, with $500
tons of Florida phosphate rock. She will

and Mr.. W. R. Leaken. the candidate for
elector from the First district. They
were aided by number Of white workers,
most Of them well known workers for the
democrats in former elections and a large
number of colored workers The repub-
llcan headquarters were in the yard at the
southeast corner OF York and Drayton
streets, and during the early hours Of the
morning the voters swarmed In and out
like a hive of bees. A white challenger
was put at each Of the ten boxes by the
Doyle committee.
Judging by appearances the friends Of
Mr.. Lester seemed to have made up their
minds that no work was necessary and
that the voters would come out without be-
ing urged There were no Lester workers
on hand when the polls opened no chal-
lengers We're placed at the boxes and no
tables with tickets even had been pro-
vided. The latter we're supplied shortly
after the polls opened, but it was two
hours or more before any fchallengers
weIe secured, and even then their work
was of an intermittent character, and
during the entire day the boxes were only
partially guarded in this manner. 1t is
true that the managers were so efficient
that there was little need for challengers,
but these safeguards have come to be re-
garded as necessary and their absence
was one of the things most commented
upon during the day.
The Lester people had no headquarters
and no organizat ton of workers. Neither
did they have any money to dispense
even for refreshments, and such efforts
as were made to- influence doubtful voters
were Individual.

scene recognized the seriousness of this

bohemian Woman Ticketed Her.
Instead of Savannah in the West

A bohemian Woman Ticketed Here
instead of Savannah in the West.
Josephine Hliboky reached Savannah
yesterday from New York. She thought
she was in Savannah, ILL.,, instead of 5a-
vannah, Ga She is Bohemian, having
just come to this country. In New York
she asked for a ticket to Savannah by
way of Cincinnati. 1t is probable that
the agent, having so many more calls for
tickets to Savannah, Ca, than the town
of the same name in Illinois, understood
her to mean that she wanted the Georgia
Savannah, and sold her a ticket straight
through, so that there would be no oc-
casion for her to go by way of Cincin-
natl.
The woman only discovered her mistake
after having reached this city, as she is
but imperfectly acquainted with English,
and could gather nothing from conversa-
ton or chance remarks she might have
heard to judge of her whereabouts.
Her condition here was distressing. She
had but $40, and the fare to Savannah,
ILL.,, where her uncle lives, is $30.45. Her
uncle was telegraphed, but as his coun-
try place is nine miles out from Savan-
nah the message was held there, because
of the additional expense it's delivery
wou1d entail.
In the meantime Mr.. Dub of the Screven
house, who discovered that the woman is
native of the Bohemian country, near
Prague, in which he was born interested
himself in her behalf, and has procured
position as governess for her in one of
the Hebrew families of the city. Mr.. DUB
says she is well educated and is a talent
ed woman. 1t is probable that she Will

THE DAY AT THE POLLS.
How the Voting Was Done and the
Ballots Were Cast.

The election passed off quietly and with
out any demonstration Of any kind tend

drinking and the police had light days
work. There was a large crowd around
the court house all day, but the
usual enthusiasm which ordinarily marks
an election in Chatham county was lack

The democrats were so badly divided

they were in no shape to make an ag-
gressive fight and the results of this di-
vision are plainly shown in the returns.
The republicans and the friends of Mr..
Doyle worked steadily and quietly. and

eddy responsible for considerable luke
warmness. Maj. Meldrim and nearly all
the leaders Of the Liberal Club were at
the court house during the day and gave
their support to Col Lester. Mr.. W. {.
Hartrdge worked at one of the Fourth
district boxes as a challenger. 1t was
denied that there was any general ten
dcncy to knife Col. Lester on the part of
the Liberals.
What is the Citizens Club doing?" was
a common question. where are their
workers? Why don't they put somebody
In the field? They didn't want us to help
them elect Lester" were common remarks
from the Liberal Club people.
The Citizens Club leaders were on the
scene, most Of them, but with few excep-
tons did not appear to be actively at
work.
BY II o'clock Il was generally believed
that Doyle was in the lead. The bulk
OF the negro vote had been polled by that
time and many white votes had gone in
for Doyle. Many Of Col. Testers friends
did effective work by going out in the
business districts and urging voters to
come to the polls. The city employees
were given permission at 80 O clock to
take all the time they needed to vote
At y O'clock there were 1900 votes in the
boxes. with Doyle in the lead, it was be-
lieved The democratic strength began
to show up with the dinner vote and at 3
o'clock there were 1000 more votes in This
was very slow voting for these hours,
however. This indicates that many
business men did not vote
and a considerable percentage OF the 700
voters who did not come to the polls can
be credited TO this class. Many Palmer and
Buckner votes went in about this time.
Business men very generally voted the
Palmer and Buckner ticket with Lester's
name at the bottom, some placing Doyle's
there, but a number voted the
republican ticket straight, including
