THE MONETARY CONVENTION.
Savannah VIII Have Two, and Per-
INNS Four DeIegafes.

Mr.. I. l.. Tiedeman, representing the
Savannah Board Of Trade and Mr.. A. 3.
Moore. representing the Commercial Club,
will leave the city tonight for Indianapo-
lis, Ind, where they go to attend the mon
etary convention to be held there Tuesday,
Jan. r. 1t is probable also that dele
gate will 80 from the cotton exchange,
from which two, Col. w. w. Gordon and
MIR. j. p. Williams were appointed. Both
Col Gordon and Mr. Williams thought
yes erday they would be unable TO go on
account of important business engage
ments, but they had not definitely decid-
ed the matter Both have credentials
from the cotton exchange and will go II
it is possible for them 10 do so. Mr.. Will
Jams said If he found to-day that il would
be impossible for him to go he would
urge President Dwelle 10 appoint another
representative from that body. Savan-
nah will have at least two and probably
three or four representatives. at the con-
vention.
The Savannah representatives say the
action they would favor on the part Of
the convention will depend very much on
the plans on the money question which
are there presented. The principal fiuan-
cicrs Of tho country Will undoubtedly be
there, and the convention will undoubted-
viii be put before Il. Col Gordon thinks
the convention might agree upon some
good plan ana give Instructions to a COM
mlttee as to how TO draw up bill to pre-
sent to congress carrying out the ideas Of
the plan decided upon. There have been
suggestions too that the convention might
discuss the matter in general and appoint
a committee to draw a bill embodyiug a
plan for the solution of the monetary sit
uation. In any event, It is considered the
convention will have 10 appoint a commit
tee to present a bill to congress- whether
the convention decides on the general fea-
lures OF the bill Itself or leaves that TO the
committee. Ii is likely the Savannah dele
gates think that the convention will
adopt some plan and turn it over to a
committee to put into the shape of a bill,
perhaps. giving the committee certain
powers with regard to details. This, how
ever, viii depend altogether on the plans
that are presented 10 the convention.

LOSS OF THE vANDERHERscHEN.
The Crew Taken or and the Vessel
Set on Fire.

Set on Fire.
The captain and crew of the abandoned
schooner Tillie Vanderherchen, who were
brought to the Savannah quarantine sta
ton last Saturday, came up to the city
yesterday afternoon.
Their names are: Capt. S. P. Wilson of
Philadelphia, II. d. Henderson of Dor
chester, N. j., mate; Hiram Peterson of
Philadelphia, steward Aug Olsen, Harry
Olsen, Thomas Johnson and John Hagg-
strom. seamen.
Capt. Wilson said that the wrecked YES
sci was loaded with S19128 feet of pitch
pine lumber, by Henry Clarke of Jack
sonville. She sailed from Jacksonville for
Gaudaloupe, F. l. W., Dec. Z. On Dec.
13 heavy blow was encountered, which
soon developed into gale. The vessel
was tossed fearfuny on the seas, and be-
gan to leak badly. The pumps were kept
going, but the suction gave out, and the
pumps would not draw out the water.
The vessel continued to leak until she
was filed and became waterlogged. The
captain took his observation at noon Dec.
10, and found that they were in latitude
20 81, and longitude 81 "A.
AS the nearest land was nothing but
rocks, with no habitation, and about las
miles away, it became a serious predca-
ment, with little hope for the safety of
the crew. A storm was brewing, and the
probability was that the men would have
to take to the boats before the next
morning. Fortunately for them, a sail
was. sighted about 4 o'clock. The ap-
preaching vessel was signalled, and
proved to be the Italian brig Laboremus,
in command of Capt. Vidatello, bound
/ 70 1T. g., Co.
datello sent four men in boat to the
wreck, and offered to take the crew off.
Capt. Wilson held a consultation with his
crew and it was agreed that the best
thing to do was to abandon the vessel and
accept the offer of Capt. Vidatello, as
there was no chance of getting ashore
with her, or even reaching land in an
open boat, with the ugly weather threat
ening.
Before leaving the vessel she was set
on fire, as to leave her in her waterlogged
condition would have made her a danger
Gus derelict. 1t is thought she burned
through the deck which would open her
hold and allow the cargo to float out,
when the hulk will probably be broken up
in any light storm.
Capt Wilson reported to c. W. Howard
& Co., ship brokers, and a protest was
made at once before the port warden. The
necessary papers will be arranged this
morning and Capt. Wilson leave to-
day by the Atlantic Coast line, for Phil
adelphia. The mate and steward will
leave on the Gate City tomorrow for
Philadelphia, and the seamen have been
engaged to go to Fernandina, where they
will ship on a schooner bound north.
| The Tillie Vanderherchen was owned bv
Henry E. Matthews of Philadelphia and
Others Capt. Wilson owned one-eighth
of the vessel She was only partially in
sured. A description Of the lost schooner
has been published in the Morning News.

no PROTECT HIS cREDIToRs.
Mr.. John L. Archer Gives Mortgages
Amounting to About $4,000.

Mr.. John L Archer the real estate
dealer at No. Bull street. gave mort
cages yesterday to the extent of about
$1,000, for the protection Of his creditors.
This action was necessitated by the pres
sure of certain creditors representing an
Indebtedness Of about 81, 500, from whom no
extension Of time could be obtained, and
the mortgages were given for the pur-
pose Of protecting all creditors and pre-
venting sacrifice Of the property in
volVed.
The mortgages which were recorded in
the superior court were as follows: First
mortgages to George Dole Wadley, to Sc
cure note for $500; to Mrs Catherine NJ.
Sturtivant, $500: Floyd & Co. $500; w. w.
Aimar & Co., $50; John S. Baxter, $500,
and Pope Barrow, $3.50; second mortgages
to John f. Wadley, 81, 800; to the Harde-
vile Brick Company, S393.1S; to Andrew
Hanley, $500; Henry M. Ward, 5000; Dixon,
Mitchell & Wells, 800; r. d. William
baltimore, 500, and A. C. Wright, $500;
transfers of other property to I. ID, Kline,
$500, and John W. Parker, $500.
These mortgages are given on real es-
tate in different parts of the city valued
at $4,000, and about 5000 of other property
consisting of notes and accounts which
were assigned to Col. r. J. Davant for the
benefit of the creditors. The total of the
BfehSiHS ODi4SdllOHS requiring luiiutNldl6
payment amounted to about $500, which
can be realized, it is said, from the notes
and accounts and pale in about sixty days.
The other creditors are willing to walt I'M
til the property can be disposed of to ad-
vantage. The mortgages mentioned above
are subject to a mortgage to the Standard
Building and Loan Association for $4,000,
which is being reduced by monthly pay
ments, the property renting for nearly
enough to pay the instruments. Mr.. Archer
calculates that in the final outcome of the
real estate business he will have between
5000 and $500 more than enough to dis
charge all of his obligations and be able
to save the property by continuing the
monthly payments to the building and
loan association.
He viii continue the collection of rents
for other people in connection with the
firm Of Davant & Archer, of which he is
member, which is in no wise involved in
this transaction, and viii also continue as
representative here of the Standard Build
ing and Loan Association. 1t has been
his idea for some time to close out his
Bull street office, and combine the bust
ness with the insurance business of Da-
want & Archer The indebtedness not Sc
cured by mortgage is very small and will
be paid as soon as it is possible to do so.
MT Archer's career in the real estate bus
mess since he began it about three years
ago has been a successful one. and the
large majority of his creditors, having
confidence in his ability to meet all
obligations, are willing to give him what
time Is necessary to meet them with con-
Venience to himself.

Col John Screven. who went to Wash
ington to appear before the ways and
means committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, as a delegate from the Rice
Association of Savannah, to ask for
higher duty on rice returned to the city
yesterday morning.
Col. Screven talked quite interestingly
of his trip. He met the delegations from
Charleston and New Orleans on Monday,
and. after discussing the situation, Maj
Bartlett of New Orleans, a well known
lawyer. was asked to present the petition
of the rice men. and the statement of the
situation. which they had prepared. This
he did in a clear and interesting manner
The committee was also shown samples
of rice for the purpose of explaining how
1t was desired that the classification
should be made.
While the committee itself, of course,
gave no direct intimaton as to what 1t
would do in the matter, the indications
at the hearing were very favorable, and
some of those in a position to know how
things are considered, almost gave the
rice men the Information that they could
expect what they had asked for In the
wav of increased duties and classification.
col. Screven was very much gratihed with
the reception of the committee ana Is
hopeful that its mission viii be an en-
tirely successful one.

TAMPA's COMING CONVENTION.
Great Interest in the Question of
Coast Defenses.

Coast Defenses.
Mr.. Remseu Crawford. press agent for
the Plant system, returned yesterday from
a business trip to Tallahassee and St. Au-
gustine. At the former place he saw both
Gov. Bloxham and ex-Gov. Mitchell.
Gov. BloXham said that the prospects for
a large attendance at the convention to
meet at Tampa in the interest of coast
defenses far exceeds expectations
Gov. Mitchell said he called the conven-
ton at the instance of the board of trade
of Tampa and though the movement en-
listed his immediate approval, he had
never anticipated anything like the success
in point of attending delegates that the
convention gives promise of being. He at
tributes the interest that is being mani
Tested to the almost defenseless condition
of the coasts of the south With the eX-
ception of that at Pensacola, no work has
been done on any coast fOrtidcations
south of Fortress Monroe; and" said
ex-Gov. Mitchell, III war with Spain were
declared tomorrow Florida would have
nothing but historic relies. inhabited by
bats and hddlers. for her defense"
About 200 delegates 10 the convention
were appointed by Gov. Mitchell from
Florida. That state has such a great
stretch of coast that it naturally has a
deeper interest in the movement than any
other state, 1t was this interest that led
the Tampa Board of Trade to ask that the
convention be called. Though ex-Gov.
Mitchell called the meeting. Gov. Biloxi
ham fully appreciates its Importance and
will be present. The governors Of all
southern states were requested to appoint
delegates, as were all cities of 5000 popula-
ton. The convention will be held Jan. 20.

The Gallant Company Forty-One
Years old.

Yesterday was the forty-first anniver-
sary of the organization of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry. The oglethorpes have
never celebrated their birthday since the
war. celebrating rather the anniversary of
the battle of Manassas, on July p. The
day was not forgotten, however, by the
members. Capt II. NJ. Branch received
the following telegram last night from
Gen. G. NJ Sorrel of New York:
New York. Jan. S.-Capt. II. NJ. Branch,
Savannah, Ga: Do give my affectionate
membranes to Oglethorpes on this,
their forty first anniversary. Together
we were in Virginia. Ever remembered,
c. NJ. Sorrel.
Capt. Branch turned the telegram over
TO Can't. McLaws. While there was no
formal observance Of the anniversary,
many Oglethorpes. and particularly the
older members, recalled the celebrations
that were held before the COS.

and the sheep men, arising over dis
puted range or feeding grounds.
There will always be danger of such
the occupation OF any oGe who may
place live stock upon it.. 1t belongs to
the public. and one mar cannot say
that he has a better right to a particu-
lar part that some other man. This
suggests that a plan should be adopted
for leasing parts of the range to stock
men, who then would have the privi-
lege of fencing their part. This was
fully gone into in an article that ap-
peared in these columns several days
ago.
The idea has been developed by Mr..
Elwood Mead, state engineer Of Wyo-
ming. His idea is to make the number
Of acres of grazing land leased depend
ent upon the number of acres of irri-
gated land cultivated by the lessee. The
grazing of stock could thus be made to
adjust itself to the growing of alfalfa
and other crops for stock feeding. A
cattleman or sheepman should not be
given more grazing land than the
amount requisite to feed during the
summer months the animals he could
maintain on his irrigated land during
winter The relation between the two
branches of the stock business could
easily be determined by men of expert
ence.
1t is evident that under such a leas-
ing system there would be no occasion
for wars between sheep men and cattle
growers. Each would have his W
particular part of the range and his
fences would protect him in it's en-.
joyment. This will probably be a sub
ject of discussion by the stock conven-
tion.-Denver Republican.

NOTES

\. y, Kelley of Cheyenne was an in
spectator at the football game
this afternoon. Before the game was
half over he was convinced that the
Cheyenne boys couldn't play ball.
The team from Cheyenne has been
laying claim to the state championship,
yet at the same time they have been
claiming the right to bar certain Lara
ME players. The second eleven has
right nOhly. What would the fellows
from ovc the hill have lone had Brees,
Wilson. Coburn and Trabing been in
the game?
