Health officer LeHardy's monthly re-
port showed the number of deaths last
month to have been Us, IS white and %
colored. The apparent birth rate was only
eighty-siX, thirty-six white and fifty
colored. This is only apparent, however,
as the health officer has been unable to
secure reports from any Of the midwives.
The repairs to the quarantine wharf have
been finished, and the work is said TO be
well done There Is no more room fol
the discharging of ballast and the disn-
lection of vessels than there was last
summer, the repairs being simply TO the
old wharves. no extension of the wharvea
having been made.

A motion by Col. j. II. Estill that the
president OF the exchange be requested to
memorialize the Secretary of the Navy,
the senators from this state, and Hon. r.

sentative in Congress, on the importance of
establishing a coaling station at Tybee, or
at some other point in the harbor, was
carried unanimously.
There being no further business. the
meeting adjourned There would doubtless
have been further discussion of the res
olutions first adopted had it not been that
they were so conserva tive and dignified
in their character. 1t is safe to say that
a peace at any price" resolution could
not have been adopted by the meeting
judging from the expressions of some of
those who voted for the resolutions.

Tomorrow will inaugurate the beginning
of the first large sale of building lots that
has taken place in this city in the last
three years.
The sale is very much like those which
marked the commencement of the rapid
development of the land south of Ander-
son street. Up to that time such a thing
as an eligible building lot on the line of
the natural growth of the city at $500 TO
$500 a lot was never heard of before The
prices, however. did not remain long at
those figures but soon jumped from the
hundreds into the thousands, so that to-

ing capacity as Savannah has, those who
think of investing in real estate, either
with a view TO al some future day build
ing a home, or with the intention of buy
ing for a profitable rise, must look ahead
and study the trend of improvements. In
this new epoch of rapid development the
tendency is toward the southeast. That
is the best improvements are toward and
eastward OF Abercorn street and not to-
ward Montgomery street and westward of
that street.
The lots to the line of the Plant Sys-
tents Railways right-of-way are pretty
well taken up or are held at such prices
as to place them beyond the reach of the
masses. The question is, will the march
of Improvement cross over to the beautiful
plateau TO the east of the railroad? That
question will be answered by the results
of the sale of lots tomorrow on Ninth

BOARD OF TRADE ACTS TOO.
Took Action Similar to That by the
Cotton Exchange.

The Board of Trade met at o'clock
to discuss the war crisis and took action
similar to that by the Cotton Exchange.
The meeting was called to order by
President Purse and its purpose was stat
ed. The members were unanimous in their
sentiments regarding the war, which were
summed up in the following resolution,
which was read and adopted:
Whereas, The President has been very
conserva tive in trying to avert any rup-
ture between Spain and our country,
while UNFOLDING the honor and dignity of
our country. therefore,
BE Il resolved, That the Savannah
Board of Trade appeal TO the members of
Congress from Georgia TO sustain the
President in whatever action he shall re-
commend In settling the differences now
existing between Spain and our country"
The members from Georgia will be no
tilted at once of the action taken by the

KANSAS CITY NOT SOLD.
If the Government Has Bought Her
the Co.'s Officers Don't Know 1t.

There is evidently some error about the
report of the sale of the Kansas City to
the government.
President H. NJ. Conner of the Central
OF Georgia Railway Company and of the
Ocean Steamship Company was asked
about the matter yesterday, and replied
that if the Kansas City had been sold to
the government or anybody else, none OF
the officers of the company knew any
thing about it. a deal would scarcely be
negotiated without their knowledge and
consent.
The ships of the line are all good ones,
and il Is not unnatural that the govern
ment should look into the matter of secur-
ing them in case of necessity, but so far
nothing of the kind has happened

Contract.

Contract.
The house drainage contractors steadily
deny that the visit of Mr.. Herbert Tate
of New York at this time has any bear
ing upon the contract.
Contractor John Rourke said yesterday
that he has all summer in which to make
a deal, If one is desired, and there is no
necessity for any particular haste in the
matter.
1t is known, however. that Mr. Tate
has looked into house drainage somewhat
while here. Having failed to SECURE the
contract in the first place he might find it
to his advantage to step in now and re-,
lieve the present contractors of their en-
barrassment, as there has been hardly
more than good beginning made on the
work.

The Whfte-WinreI Messenu.r

Thls nation might perhaps take a lesson
from Japan in the matter of "christening''
war-ships. 1t is announced that at the
at Philadelphia today white pigeon was
released from silken bag at the moment
the name of the ship was pronounced.
This Is much more significant and seemly
performance than the custom that pre-
walls here and in other countries of break
ing on the PROV of the new craft a bottle
of wine in the hands of young girl The
pigeon is typical of peace. The wine is
typical of nothing In particular and its use
arouses the aEtagonism of a large class of
people. 1t is peculiarly appropriate that an
emblem of peace should mark the occasion
A war ship Is an agency of peace. Its ex-
1stence may be a threat but a strong navy
is one of the surest guarantees of peace
that nation can possess. Until the day of
universal arbitration and international
fidelity and honor shall arrive navies and
armies must remain the sole reliance of
even the strongest and most resourceful
countries. The dove, or pigeon, is asso-
ciated in the minds of all Christian people
with the idea of peace and of good tidings.
The white pigeon that was sent to freedom
today in Philadelphia as the cruiser Kasasi
slipped into the water should be accepted
as a token that the influence of the war
ship will be for peace rather than for de-
structiOn. This is one custom of the far
east that might well be transplanted to the
United States.

Clubs Are Trumps.

recent play of Richard Croker in New
York was to join a political club and make
Its fortune. 1t was called The Democratic
Club" and for several years its lines had
bean cast in stormy places. The member
ship had run down to a low figure, and
several heavy debts hung over the estab-
hshment. Upon returning to his kingdom
in November Mr.. Croker looked about him
for snug loafing place and picked out this
old club His example was followed by
many other prominent democratic politi-
clans, until The Democratic Club now Is
most decidedly in the swim. New quarters
have been secured. extensive and expensive
Improvements are to be made, and the aim
is even announced Of giving to the organ
ization a national character. But the first
design is to strengthen the democratic
party In New York city by gathering under
one roof for sociability and conference all
of those active leaders upon whom the
party SO much relies.
This was a shrewd move and the New
York republicans are copying It. A club
called The Republican Club has for some
years existed In town. and while 1t has
served d good purpose has never come to
any great note. At a meeting this other
night Chauncey N. Depew was elected
president and accepted the honor. He an
nounced the purpose Of giving attention to

Local Civil Service Sentim> Mt.

There should be large attendance upon
the meeting TO be held tomorrow night by
the local Civil Service Reform Association
for the purpose of protesting against the
proposed notifications of the civil service
law, and particularly against its repeal
The citizens of Washington are deeply con-
cerned in this matter. 1t affects them di-
rectly. The men who are now protected
by the operation of the law during their
good behavior and their maintenance of a
degree of merit requisite for the perform
ance of their public duties, are not alone
in this. Their interest is shared by the
merchants and the business men generally
of the capital, who have observed in prac-
teal manner the beneficent influence of
civil service reform upon the material con-
Germs of the community. The condition of
things under the old spoils system was in
tolerable compared with the state of local
affairs today Under a well-devised, wisely
extended and carefully administered re-
form law based upon the merit principle.

been fostered- The democratic party when
in power has always levied a revenue tax
on imported sugars, which carried a COM
Portable measure of individual protection
to the American sugar growers, while the
republican party when in power has laid
a tax on imported sugars designed directly
to protect and build up the home industry,
and that result has been obtained. So
that both parties have shown friendship
for the sugar-growing interests in the
United States. How ridiculous. therefore,
Is the charge that a policy Is now devised
which II carried out will ruin the sugar
growers of the west and south?
The only injury that annexation will in
1ict will be on the sugar trust. And that
even will not be on the trust within the
sphere of its legitimate operations, but
as it assumes to bring the whole sugar
consuming interests of the country under
its own domination. To that extent the
sugar trust deserves to be injured. 1t be-
comes public duty to injure it; to keep
1t within bounds. and remind it that 1t is
only a creature and not the master of the
government. The sugar trust, indeed, in
its present attitude, is public enemy, and
invites complete destruction. 1t has
grown to be too big for its barrel.

the club. and expressed hope for its sub
stantial growth and prosperity. The
chances are all in favor of a realization Of
this hope Mr.. Depew Is an able and at
tractive man. and thers Is every reason
why his presence at the head of the organ
ization should draw to it a large number Of
others, and make the organization a most
valuable factor in the politics Of the town.
It Is good sign when a man like Mr..
Depaw decides to go In for something like
regular activity in politics. Heretofore his
influence has been rather intermittent He
has always been a sound party man, and a
brilliant one, but his private business has
required nearly all of his time. The result
has been to put him on the reserve list, to
be drawn upon only when an apt and a
forceful speech was to be made, or the oc-
CASTOR called in some other way for a
snowy man. His influence will be steadily
given now, and his party, there can be no
doubt, will gain materially by it.
Good government is largely a question Of
organization for the purpose of obtaining
good government. The best conditions are
frequently lost simply for thu lack of the
proper organization to secure them or
maintain them. Tammany Hall is in power
today simply because the majority of the
people of New York who wanted good gov
eminent possessed no organization for Sc
curing It.

Senators who oppose the annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands are divided into two
classes: ID Those against the territorial
aspect of the matter, and (N those who
fear for the sugar-growing industry al
ready established and charging in this
country. The great majority are to be
found in the first-named class
But how stand these objections? If the
islands are of no Importance to US, what
explains our interest in them? Even Sem
ators who oppose annexation concede that
the islands are within the sphere of Amer
lean influence. All the world comedies
that. And that, in the opinion OF those
who favor annexation, carries with 1t the
urgent necessity for American control
Are senators in opposition willing that the
Islands shall pass out of the sphere of
American influence? To remain within
that sphere means annexation. To pass
without means control inimical to Ameri-
can interests. There is no middle ground.
Permanent independence for the islands is
out of the question An American protect
crate for the islands rould not be carried
and ought not to be carried.
The minor, the sugar. objection has no
basis IL the highest authorities are to be
accepted. Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son, with every facility for investigating
the subject. gives II as his opinion that the
sugar beet industry in this country is in
not the slightest degree menaced by the
proposition of annexation. Other high au-
thorities support him In this statement.
The only dissenting voice comes from the
sugar trust Is such a corporation enti-
tied to be heard in a matter of this kind
Il the policy Of the United States to be
shaped by figures cooked up by the sugar
trust? Is American development to be-
come an entry on the ledger Of a private
corporation?
When was American policy ever mimi
cal to the sugar-growing interests? Those
Interests. ON the contrary, have always
