IMPEACHMENT FOR
COMMISSIONERS.
Savannah is on the Eve Of
a Genuine Sensa-
tiOn.
WOULDN'T DISCHARGE MAGUIRE.
A Lucky Savannah Man Who Made Nearly
Ten Thousand on the Big
Rise in Wheat.

Savannah, Aug. 24,-Savannah is on
the eve of asensation. 1t is probable
that resolution will be introduced at
tomorrow afternoons council meeting
calling for the impeachment of the en-
tire board of fire commissioners for
not haying discharged Chief Mcguire.
1t will be remembered that the inves-
tigat!ng committee Of the city council
who heard the charges against Chief
Mcguire made the following recon-
mendation to the city council:
"Under these circumstances your
committee recommend to your honor
able body that you demand that Chief
j. f Mcguire be cashiered as mex
perienced, unfit, and incompetent,
and if, after reasonable time, he has
not been dismissed, that the commits
sioners themselves be impeached for
incompetency and retaining in so inn
portant an office, after notice, a per-
son SO conspicuously unfit as the evil
dence shows Mr., Mcguire is."
AS more than three weeks has
elapsed since the committee filed it's
report and as the commissioners have
not as yet discharged Mr., Mcguire it
is understood that some one of the
cOuncilmen proposes to proceed
against the fire commissioners and
have the entire board impeached and
their offices filed by new men.
The Savannah spectators in the
wheat market came out on the right
side of the deal and realized hand
some profits on their risky invest
ments made within the past two
weeks. The local trading adventure
ers altogether pulled out between $40,-
900 and $4,000 by the advance of
prices, and they are satisfied with
their net profits.
The biggest winner of the week was
certain party whose clear profits
amounted to 50 200, and he was made
happy on the presentation of a check
for that amount, which does not in
clude his margins. The Others were
small fry. who won all the way from
$500 to 81 900, but in the aggregate the
gains can conservatively be placed at
$4,000.

Operators Say That if Compromise
is Not Made They'll
Get New Men.
Two DISTINGUISHED ARBITRATORS.
Conference Broke Up at NOOn-DeArmitt' s
Men Waiting for the Courts
Decision.

Pittsburg, Aug. 24.-The conference
between the coal operators committee
and the miners officials was resumed
this morning. The operators present
ed proposition to submit the question
to arbitration and pending the decis-
ion of the arbitration they would con-
cede IL per ton, making a rate of 81 e
cents. President Ratchford refused
this and firmly maintained stand for
SO cents rate until the question was
settled by arbitration. He suggested
President Mckinley and William j.
Bryan as arbitrators.
The operators stated that if the
agreement is not reached they would
start the mines at once with new men.
The conference broke up at noon
without reaching an agreement.
Everything is quiet at DeArmitt's
mines. Both sides are waiting for the
decision of the court in the cases of
the five men arrested Saturday morn
ing.
FURTHER LOSSES.
Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 24.--The
strikers suffered further losses in Kan
awha valley, upper Laup creek region
and along the New river today. The
New river miners loaded 900 cars of
coal yesterday, which is a big days
work for normal conditions. In Kan
awha 200 more men went to work to-
day, which leaves very few men out.

the Norfolk and Western region shows
no sign of the strike.

Board of Aldermen Will Shortly
Abolish All Quarantine
Fees.
This MAY Be DONE TODAY.
Believe 1t the Best Way to Promote the
City's Commercial Business-TO Get
on a Par with Brunswick.

Savannah, Aug. 24.-SavanDah will
be a free port before the cotton season
fairly starts. All quarantine charges
will be removed and the commerce of
the world will be invited to come in
to this harbor without paying any
thing for the attention given it at
quarantine. There Is no doubt but
what majority of the members of the
board of aldermen favor doing away
with all quarantine charges for YES
sells. They believe the way to increase
Savannah's commercial business is to
let the ships come here at as low cost
to owners as possible, and acting upon
this belief they Will see to it that all
charges for fumigating, inspecting,
and cleaning ships are abolished.
1t is possible that a resolution to
this effect may be introduced tomor-
row afternoon, though the probability
is that it will not come up before the
first meeting in September. 1t is not
thought that single alderman will
vote against the resolution. The pol
icy of this administration seems to be
to open quarantine as wide as safety
will permit and to offer every induce
ment possible to bring vessels here to
receive cargoes.
One alderman believes that if the
port is made absolutely free and the
proper support given the enterprise,
coastwise vessels will begin to leave
this port for the eastern ports and re-
turn in larger numbers than now. He
says Savannah's salvation is in its
shipping. All efforts to make it an
industrial centre have been failures,
and after all it is to the shipping we
must turn, he says, for our business.
The revenue now derived from the
quarantine station amounts to about
$6,500 each year. This amount will be
provided for in another direction, and
the income of the city will not drop
off l cent.

Paine, Murphy s. Co.'s Grain Letter.
Savannah, Aug. 24.-The decline in
wheat in the various markets in the
world has not been the result of any
changed condition in the statistical
situation, but merely natural reac-
tion after so much advance. Bulls
who have been buying the cereal on
the way up or placing stop orders at
certain prices had a great deal of
wheat sold, while bears. who have
been on the alert for signs of weak
ness, sold literally when the price be-
gan to waver. Not only has this con-
dltiOn prevailed in Chicago, but in
outside American, as well as the Liv-
erpool and continental markets, for
each has suffered a sympathetic de-
cline.

That Lyceum Plan Is a Good One.
WHEAT NORMAL.
How the Cereal Sold in the Excited
Markets Yesterday.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Today for the
first time in nearly week wheat was
in something like normal condition.
At the opening there was enough SELL
ing to start the market lower than that
on Mondays close.
September wheat closed yesterday
at 96@9619c, opened today at 96 to
$500, and rallied to CSC, while Decem-
Der opened at all the way from $3.50
to $500, compared with yesterdays
closing price of 9434c, sold as low as
$3.50, then sluggishly recovered to
954c.
But the comparative quiet of the
market was suddenly changed to ex-
citement when, at 40, Liverpool ca
bles were received showing a total de-
cline of 4@41ad there. In an instant
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
long wheat were poured on the mar
ket, which broke with a crash, Sep
tember falling from 9715c to 941zc in
about three minutes, while December
broke 1zc to 92c. Then at a Jump it
rebounded to $50 and September to
95c. In that brief time the excitement
was tremendous.
THE COTTON MARKET.
New York, Aug. 24.-The cotton
market opened active at an advance of
l5 points following strong English
cables and a general belief that the

unfavorable to cotton. While the SEN
sational features of yesterdays market
was less noted, the market was very
active throughout the morning and un-
usually sensitive to orders as they ar
rived. Fluctuations were frequent
and at times almost violent. Conflict
ing English cables started long lIqui-
dation following the call, and at l
o'clock the market was feverish and
unsettled with prices unchanged to
points net lower. The first sale of
August brought Sc per pound.
