Adolf Conrad, member of Rosenfeld's
orchestra at the Hotel Tybee, was drown
ed yesterday afternoon, while bathing with

a very high sea running. The waves
proved too strong for him. He became ex-
hausted and was drowned before assist
ance could be rendered. l.. +. Meier his

cape from the same fate. An immediate
and thorough search was made for the

THE HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS.
They Can Now BE Carried on Under
the Continuous Contract system.


the Continuous Contract system.
savannah's harbor work will go on in
spite Of the Presidents veto of the river
and harbor bill. This has finally been
decided by a two-thirds vote of congress,
as was announced in yesterdays dis
patches to the Morning News.
The Immediate appropriation for the
Savannah harbor work, as is well known
is small, being only $1,000 but arrange-
ments are made for keeping up the work
under the continuous contract system,
the Secretary Of War being authorized to
make contracts within the amount stated
in the bill, $1,O93,95O.
There has, perhaps. been more work
in connection with the river and harbor
bill than any other legislation attempt
ed by congress at this session. This Is
true at least of the item concerning the
Savannah harbor Congressman Lester
had considerable trouble In keeping the
Savannah appropriation in before the
House committee. When it reached the
Senate committee II was again stricken
out and il was only by hard work on
the part OF Georgias senators in response
to urgent requests from prominent bust
ness people and officials here, that the
appropriation was put back.
While the appropriation is not a large
one, il enables the department to keep
up the improvements already made.
Without care and attention they would
necessarily deteriorate but now contracts
for keeping up the Improvements can
be made, as well as contracts for build
ing the breakwater, or safe anchorage
for vessels on the Tybee knoll and me
improvements Of the inside route Il
Beaufort The Importance of these i'm
provements has long been recognized. The
Secretary of War will no doubt enter into
contracts for carrying them on as early
as is eXpedient This definitely decides
the matter, so far as river and harbol
committees are concerned, and all other
appropriations in this connection viii have
to be made in the sundry civil bill
