From sinking.

New York. Dec. 6.-When the overdue
Savannah liner Tallahassee came into
port at o'clock this morning, something
was wrong with her propeller, and she
was making water rapidly through a leak
in the stuffing box, as a result of her ex-
perience in the recent storm. A big gang
of men was at work at the pumps and un-
loading the cargo before S o'clock. BY the
time the vessel had been lightened of a
hundred or so tons of cargo, Foreman
Connor was arrested and arraigned in the
Jefferson market court on a charge of
violating the Sunday law. superintendent
Wilson appeared and explained the cir
cumstances. He told the magistrate that
the Tallahassee was leaking badly, and
that the work had to be done to save her
from sinking.
Magistrate Sims ordered Mr.. Wilson to
make an affidavit of the facts and dis
charged Connor. The arrest of Connors
had not stopped the work on the ship,
and shortly after noon it was announced
that all danger of her sinking was past.

every gate on the line of march.

notify the turnpike directors that If the
gate was repaired and money collected,
the raiders would not only burn the toll

ordered the gates repaired and toll will
be collected by an armed guard If nee

Combined in the Project.

New Orleans, Dec. 6.-There has been
considerable talk during the past three
or four months relative to a gigantic lum-
ber combine that is to operate in the
southern states. Very little information

worthy source, it is learned that the or

in this section. The plan is combined
United States and English capital, and
their object is to organize all the lumber
men into one powerful combine for the
control of the lumber trade. The lumber
trade has been very quiet for several
months, but 1t is expected that when the
syndicate is ready for business the de-
mand will be greatly stimulated and prices
advanced. The Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road recently opened for business, now
has orders for more than 100000 feet of
lumber to be shipped from the pine re-
gion down to Gulf ports, and which will
be taken thence to foreign ports by steam

BAYARD DECLINES THE GIFT.
Says His Position Would Not Permit
Him TO Accept 1t.


Him TO Accept 1t.
Washington, Dec. 6-Information has
been received here that Ambassador Bay
ard has declined, with many thanks, the
proposed testimonial which the London
Daily Telegraph suggested should be rails
ed by popular subscription in England
as a mark of appreciation of his efforts
to preserve good will between the two
countries. Mr. Bayard takes the ground
that his position as ambassador would
prevent his accepting any gift Of the kind
proposed. This is in accordance with the
views which the state department held
of Mr. Bayards probable action in the
matter.
London, Dec. 6.-Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard, the American ambassador, has writ
ten a letter to the Daily Telegraph anent
that journals proposal to. take. up a pub
lie subscription for the purpose of pur-
chasing him a national Christmas gift as
token of the esteem of the British peo-
pie The letter, which is dated Dec 5,
says in part: early this morning l tele-
graphed you not to proceed further with
your kind and generous proposal for a
testimonial to me from the people of this
country in token of their appreciation of
my efforts to establish between the two
great English-speaking countries relations
of harmony and good will
Mr.. Bayard then proceeds to say that
he was touched and gratifed by the pro-
posal and the Telegraphs' generous eulogy
of him, but that a few hours reflection
showed him that, holding his present Of
flee and invested with its direction and du-
ties he should scrupulously obey the spirit
of his country's law, which inhibits any
one holding an office of trust or profit
under the American government from ac-
cepting, without the consent of congress,
any present from any king, prince or gov
ernment"
He further says: while I live 1 shall
rot cease to thank the people of these
lands for the whole-hearted, unstinted
welcome l havS received at their hands
and the warm hospitalites that have been
showered on me and mine"
The Telegraph, in a leader, will to-mor-
row announce the withdrawal of its pro-
posal 1t says there is no need to inquire
whether any high official authority infiu-
enced Mr. Bayard to decline the proposed
gift. The reception of the proposal has
shown how sincere is the good will of
the English nation towards him.
