THEY WANT NO COMPROMISE.
COMMISSIONS MUST BE FOUGHT TO
A FINISH.

Neither side VIII Admit to Any De-
Talked of, HOwever-LiberaIs
Would Not Think of Allowing
Commissioner WiIIink to Remain
in omce-Citizens Club Men Claim
They Have Victory in Sight and
Would Not Compromise If They
Could.
The compromise proposition reported In
yesterdays Morning News did not seem to
strike the rank and file of the factions very
favorably
Leading members of both factions re-
nounced the idea in toto and declared that
the report in the Morning News was the
first they had heard of it. The general
expression was that it is fight for victory
or nothing with no concession by either
side
The idea of our making any sort of a
compromise which would leave Commits
sioner Willink in Office is preposterous,"
sad a well-known Liberal "He yields
entirely too much power for us to agree
to anything like that. We might as well
let the commissions stand altogether as
to leave Willink in"
Another well-known Liberante said that
he had heard nothing of a compromise,
but that the three commissions which
were to be abolished. according to the re-
ported compromise, fire, police and park
and tree, were the most Objectionable.
THE commissions will either stand or
go down together" said a Citizens Club
leader. The eight is being made on the
principle of commissions and we cannot
afford TO yield anything. We would be
foolish to compromise anyway. We have
the fight whipped and our opponents be-
gin to realize it,.
What grounds will you make your fight
on?" he was asked. 6 with the results
of the two recent elections, haven't the
Liberals the best of the argument?'
Not bit of it," he replied. I'VE in
tend to tell the senators a few things
about those elections. We shall make our
fight purely on the ground that the COM
missions are better for the city of Savan-
nah than the control of the departments by
council and we shall offer the record of
the commissions to prove it,
1t was admitted that there has been talk
of compromise, but 1t was said that moth
ing has come of it, or is likely to.
The Citizens Club people have not yet
announced the committee which will ap-
pear before the Senate in behalf of the
commissions when the bills come up,

PASSED THE HALF MILLION MARK
Savannah's Cotton Receipts Up to
Date 5O5,S4S Bales

SavannaKs receipts of cotton for this
season passed the half million mark yes
terday with a few thousand bales to
spare. @ta .5i ~
From comparisons made with the re-
ceipts of other years. for the first Y days
of the season, the receipts this year in
dictate that the total receipts for the sea-
son will reach 100000 bales and perhaps
several thousand more.
Savannah passed the million mark in
the receipts of cotton on two previous
seasons. The first was in 1S9O-91, when
the totaleran up to 1,139,60S bales. For the
first Y days of that season the receipts
were 492, 634 bales. The only year in which
the receipts exceeded the present receipts
to date was 1891, when 514.s19 bales were
received up to Nov. II. The season of 1891
81 was also million marker, but the re-
ceipts fell short of the previous year, be-
ing 1O27, SIC bales
The season of 1894 and 1S94-95 came
very near the million mark, and the re-
ceipts for the first r days clearly approx
mated those of the big Savannah seasons,
as will be- seen byTthe table of compar-
isons for nine seasons, below:

Some of the Contractors Who Want
to Lay Savannah's Sewers.
There will evidently be no lack of bid
ders for the house drainage work. In the
neighborhood of twenty-five contractors
have already applied for copies of the
plans and specifications, several local con-
tractors being among the number. Prob
ably not all of these will submit bids.
The Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company,
which has laid a great deal of asphalt
paving in Savannah, win be among the
bidders. Maj. s. Whitney, vice president
of the company, and Mr.. Smith it's engin-
eeT, are in the city, and spent some time
yesterday consulting with the engineers,
who have the plan in charge, obtaining
information as to the details and scope of
the work. With such solid bidders as the
Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company in the
field, the city should have no difficulty in
securing first-class work.
Mr.. Herbert Tate of New York, who
was the first contractor to make the Of
fer to undertake the work and accept the
city's notes in payment, is also in the
city, and will of course make a bid Mr.
Tate was the contractor for the Bruins

When Called Yesterday Morning She
Was Found Dead in Her Bed.
Mrs. A. I. McHenry died very suddenly
yesterday morning at the residence of her
daughters, Mrs. t. II. Howard on Will
mington Island.
She had been complaining some time
prior to her death, but for day or two
before seemed much brighter and more
cheerful. Yesterday morning, however,
when the door of her room was opened to
cali her she did not respond. and it was
soon apparent that life had fled. The body
was warm at the time and 1t was sup
posed she had been dead about an hour
Her sons in the city were telephoned of
the sad death of their mother, and went
down as soon as possible. II is supposed
her death was due TO heart failure
Mrs. McHenry was SO years old and
leaves three sons and one daughter. The
funeral will take place this afternoon at
o'clock from the residence of her son.

THE GRAND DUCHESS, I'LL LUCK.
May BE Some Time Before She Is
Running Again.

When il was announced several days
ago that the steamship Grand Duchess
would have to temporarily relinquish her
place in the Ocean Steamship feet, on &C
count Of damage sustained by her boilers,
the company expected the repairs would
be made in a short time, and that the
vessel would sail from New York Nov. 10.
She viii not sail on that date, however,
and just when she will resume her place
is not known
The damage to her boilers consists Of
the bursting of the water tubes in the
boilers. The explosion, which occurred
just before the vessel arrived at New
York on her last. voyage. resulted in the
scalding of one of the fremen, although
the injury sustained was not of a serious
character.
1t is not yet known whether the vessel
has been accepted from the builders by
the Plant system. Vice President Egan
of the Ocean Steamship Company was
asked about the matter yesterday, but he
was not prepared to talk. The effect the
present arrangement will have in deter
mining her acceptance or rejection is not
known, though it is said the builders an
ticipated that some things would work
unsatisfactory at first. but are confident
the vessel is all right.
Il am not prepared to say when the ves-
sci will resume her place in the feet"
said Mr.. Egan. However, as soon as her
boilers are repaired and she is again in
running order the Ocean Steamship Com
pany will continue to operate her"
The November sailings Of the Duchess
from New York, besides the 18th, are the
22d and Both. Whether or not she will be
able to sail on the two latter dates will
depend entirely upon the progress made in
the repairs.

STREET PAVING ron NEXT YEAR.
DraytOn street and Bull South of the
Pnrk to BE Improved.


Park to BE Improved.
The street and lane committee of coun-
ell has not yet taken up the matter Of
street paving in connection with next
years budget. The necessity of improv-
ing Drayton street however is generally
agreed TO by the members of council.
Alderman Davis, chairman of the street
and lane committee, said yesterday that
tainty for next year, and also the improve
ment of Bull street south of the park ex-
tension. The material used for the lat
ter work will probably be Augusta gravel
Asphalt seems to have the preference for
Drayton street.
Wheaton street, Alderman Davis said,
may be improved from Liberty street to
the toll gate with Augusta gravel.
There is considerable paving that council
would like to do. but on account of the
number of other improvements in pros
pect it is doubted if the budget will per-
nit of a large expenditure for paving.
There is considerable work that the al
dermen would like to do in the southern
section, and they would also like to COM
plete East Broad and West Broad streets.
Price is another street which the alder
men would like to see paved.
The construction of the new house drain
age system will have to be taken into con-
sheraton, however. The general cutting
up of the north and south streets which
will be necessitated by the house drainage
work may operate as bar to the paving
of any of these streets until the new sew
craze system is completed.

walked into the police barracks yesterday.
in charge of Johnny Warwick, a 16-year-
old boy. A small Flobert gun had been
taken, from the lad and was turned over
to the officer on duty.
The complaint was that Johnny had
been shooting at pigeons around Mr..
Buntzs house, endangering the lives of
people. who might be unaware of the dan
ger However, the more serious COM
plant was said to be that the lad was
playing havoc by perforating tin roofs
The pigeons ffocked on the house tops and
every time a shot missed its mark it was
apt to ventillate the tin roof.
Johnny was held to await an investiga-
ton. In his eagerness to find sport by
shooting the pigeons, he was doubtless
unaware of the damage being done.
