tdtN departments.
The City Council is to-day in complete
control of the city government All the de-
partments have gone into the hands of the
committees which controlled them prior 10
the enactment Of the commission laws that
have just been repealed.
From time to time city officials and poll
ticians have given their opinion about what
course would be pursued with reference 10
present Office holders. aud the general
opinion seems to be they will be allowed
to hold over until the regular election in
Council for next years city officers.
The fact that this idea is concurred in
by nearly all interested gives reason to
believe that it viii be followed out There
viii probably not be any procedure in
Council concerning the change
The final success of the opposition 10
commissions marks the triumph of a fight
that has been vigorously waged for
months. Being a cardinal plank in the ad-
ministration's platform, the fight against
commissions with a view TO bringing about
what has been accomplished.
Now that the commissions have been
swept away, he committees have taken
charge. The police department is in charge
of the police committee, the water works
department. the water committee, the fire

WAITING ON THE MOBILE.
Gen. Lees Departure Depends on tiie
Loading OF the Transport.

The delay in the arrival of the trans
port Mobile. which had been expected in
on Thursday has led to another change
in the programme for the departure Of
the Panama, with Cen Lee and his staff
aboard. AS 1t is now, the Panama viii
probably leave Savannah some time to-
morrow, the exact hour not being known
until to-day. when it will be ascertained
how long it viii require TO get the Mobile
ready for sea The soldiers who are TO
go on her are in readiness 70 move on a
minutes notice, and it is merely a ques-
ton as to how long it will take to load
the freight.
Gen. Lee said yesterday that it is not
his desire or intention 10 leave Savannah
until he sees that the Mobile is about
ready to get off. or that affairs are in
such shape that there Will be no delay
in the transportation of the troops who
are 10 so on her. After he has satisfied
himself on that score, he viii speedily
complete his personal arrangements and
set sail. He is Of the opinion that he
will be able 10 ger off on sunday. but there
IS possibility that il viii not be until
Monday. II ii can he arranged to his
satisfaction, though the transport will
ieaNe tomorrow. All OF the neadQudrter
effects which are to be shipped on her are
aboard, and the few office effects of the
commanding general will take no time to
get them in readiness and down TO the
steamship. IT, as he expects, the start is
made tomorrow morning. il will give Sa-
vannahians the opportunity they desire,
to witness the departure of Gen. Lee and
make it the occasion for a demons ira
ton.
Gen. Keller and his staff are established
IN the rooms formerly occupied by the
headquarters staff. and business is NOV
ing along smoothly.
Two regiments Of United States Regu-
lar Infantry have been assigned to Gen.
Lees corps They are the Eighth and
Tenth The former is TO sail from Tampa
aud the latter from Charleston It is ex-
pected that there viii be more cavalry and
artillery assigned 10 the Seventh Corps
within a short time. They will probably
be shipped from Savannah The tents OF
the soldiers departing from here are being
left standing, with their board floors on
their arrival in Cuba the men VIII get hos
pital tents, which win accommodate six
men each, and the floors of the tents here
would be of little service in them The
tents waiting for occupants will probably
not be vacant long.
