DIFFERENTIALS INCREASED.
SOUTHEASTERN PORTS PLACED ON
BETTER BASIS.

Rate Committee of the theastern
Freight Association Changes the
DinerentiaIs From Interior Points
Between Virginia and south At
Iantic Ports in Favor of the Latter,
Competing Lines Authorized to
Meet Through Ocean Rates From
Interior Points.
The recent meeting of the rate committee
of the Southeastern Freight Association
in Atlanta resulted in a very important
change in the method of making freight
rates on cotton from interior points to the
various southern ports.
The change is of especial interest to Sa-
vannah. Instead of a fiat differential of
6 cents between Norfolk and the south
eastern ports on shipments from interior
points, new differential, rang
ing from to 10 cents a hundred, was
adopted. The differental remains at 6
cents from Atlanta, but from Macon it is
placed at Is cents. From Montgomery
Ala, the diferential remains cents on
account of the competition of the Gulf
ports, but Eufaula, Dawson and Albany
are protected by differentials favorable
to the southeastern ports.
The committee decided that in the mat
ter of through ocean rates from interior
points the various roads are authorized
to meet any ocean rate made by competi-
tors to other ports.
For instance, if a low rate is offered on
shipment of cotton from Mon gomery
via Mobile and Pensacola, the lines lead
ing in Savannah or any other Atlantic
port are authorized to meet this rate if
they choose to do so. This also, it is be-
lieved, will result in the bringing Of con-
siderable cotton to Savannah that would
not otherwise be brought here.
The rate committee was in session at
the same time with the hearing of the cot
ton rate case before the rail-
road commission The action of the
committee, however, was not Influenced
by the decision of the commission, as the
committee proceeded with its work with
out waiting for the decision of the COM
mittee.
I'VE were confident that the commits
sion would see the justice of our cause"
said Mr.. A. Pope, general freight and pas
senger agent of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad, to a Morning News reporter yes
terday, land proceeded as if it had al
ready decided in our favor The action of
the committee is very satisfactory to the
railroads in this section. We feel that
we have adjusted the rates to
the South Atlantic ports in
a manner that Will develop a greater
amount of cotton business for these ports
by reason of the protection afforded
against the Virginia ports. We dealt with
the matter on a commercial basis entirely.
insisting that the position of the South At
lantic ports from a commercial standpoint
entitled them to demand that rates should
be so adjusted in the cotton territory as to
develop their advantages to the utmost.
The question of ocean transportation was
not considered, believing as we did that
the more cotton brought to this port the
more steamships there would be brought
here to move it,"
Mr.. Pope said that he is satisfied that
the changes made by the rate committee
will result in larger cotton shipments to
Savannah the coming season than ever be-
fore.

DEEP WATER ABOVE THE CITY.
Steamship oscar IL Went Up Two
Miles Drawing NenrIy Is Feet.

hiieS DRAWING Ne0rIy IL rect
The Norwegian steamship oscar II,
which arrived here day before yesterday
with cargo of fertilizer material, was
safely piloted to the works OF the CONNER
cial Guano Company, about two miles
above the city. drawing Il feet Il inches,
the greatest draft that has ever been so
far up the river
1t is source of great satisfaction to the
owners OF the various factories along the
river front in that vicinity that there is
sufficient depth in the channel to allow a
vessel drawing nearly Is feet TO reach
ther WharVes in safety. Along the river
'front.' near that point are the works of the
Commercial Quano Company, Southern
cotton Oil Company, and the Southern
feruliZer Company. These companies
have expended a large sum of money in
having the river dug out a.ong their
WnarVes, in order that vessels can moor
IN perfect safety.
The Oscar II will discharge a quantity Of
muriate Of potash, after which she will be
moved to the wharf Of the Southern Fer
tilizer Company, about 200 yards further
up the river, where more Of her cargo will
be discharged
The Oscar II is a Norwegian steamship
commanded by Capt. II. Arensen. She
sailed from Hamburg June 30, with full
cargo of fertilizer material. She arrived
at Port Royal, July % and after dis
charging a part of her cargo, which was
consigned to parties at Port Royal and
Beaufort, came here to discharge the por-
ton consigned to the Savannah consignees.
The steamship is of $3.50 gross tonnage,
OF which amount 1889 tons is under
deck. Her neteregister is 1889 tons. Her
dimensions are 316 feet inches in length.
Al feet l inch beam, and q feet 4 inches
in depth below the water line
The general impression that no vessel
drawing over fourteen feet could go safely
to the wharves of the Fertilizer Com
pany, two miles above the city, was dis
PEELED two years ago, when the British
steamship Lisnacreve, drawing 1872 feet,
was piioted there by Capt. Fitzgerald, and
when the same experienced pilot took the
Oscar II there, drawing II feet II inches,
it was fully demonstrated that there is
no necessity of Tightening cargoes to that
point.

AT THE CITY MARKET.
The Delightful Display of Healthy
Ments and Vegetables

The Savannah city market never pre-
scented more attractive appearance than
now. 1t is true that in the winter there
is displayed larger variety of meats and
game, but then there is an inviting air
about all of the stalls. Everything is
kept so neat. If housekeepers were to
make their purchases in the market in
stead of buying here and there the
meats that are questionable and the
vegetables and fruits that are exposed to
the sun for several hours they would be
better satisfied with what they got; they
would not take the chance of getting sick
and they would also save money.
Now, there is H. Logan, in the market
the caterer to the wants of families. If
you want a roast of beef or mutton, a
luscious steak, a soup bone, frankfurter
sausage, soft-shell crabs shrimp dia-
mond-bacil terrapin fresh fish, fresh veg
etables, delicious fruits or melons, the
safest and decidedly the most proper thing
to do, is send your order to Logan. He
will serve you promptly and always salts
factorily.-ad.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
DIR. r. c. Wilson'S Heroic Rescue at
old Point Comfort.

old Point Comfort.
DR.. F. c. Wilson, who has just returned
from Old Point Comfort, Va, where he
was attending the annual meeting of the
American Dental Association, won much
well deserved praise for his heroic efforts
in saving the life Of DR.. J. J. Sarrazen of
New Orleans, Who. had it not been for Or.
Wilson, would have found a watery grave.
in company with a number of the mem
bers, DR.. J. J. Sarrazen of New Orleans
was in bathing He Is a good swimmer
and was out considerable distance from
the shore when he was seized with cramps,
and becoming helpless had to shout for as
sistance. None of the others in the party
were swimmers. and the drowning man
was about to sink for the
last time when DR.. Wilson,
who happened to be sitting on the piazza
of the Hygeia hotel. saw the doctors dan
ger and swan to his assistance. At the
afternoon meeting of the association, says
the Newport News Daily Press, the mem
bers showed their appreciation Of the
brave act by passing resolutions request
ing the President of the United States TO
present DR.. Wilson with a medal of honor
and formally introduced the hero to the
convention.
When attracted by the cries for help
DR.. Wilson ran down TO the shore, pull
ing off what clothes he could on the
way, ana jumped into the water with his
shoes on. He reached DR.. Sarrazen cas-
ily but it was with great difficulty that
he got him TO the shore. Soon after he
caught hold OF the drowning man and
started shorewards with him, the latter
became unconscious from loss of strength
and from having taken in so much wa
ter. BY the hardest kind of efforts, he
managed to bring the apparently hfeless
body to the shore, where vigorous work
shortly afterward restored DR.. Sarazen to
consciousness.
When asked about the incident yester-
day DR.. Wilson referred to it modestly,
he having considered il a duty to do what
he could under such circumstances. The
rescued man expressed the deepest graft
tude for the great service DIT. Wilson rem
