PURSES REVIEW OF THE PORT.
Continued from Eighth Pare)

Endorsed by the directors of the board was
Reimbursed by the president as a matter
OF great Importance TO Savannah in the
regulation of transportation rates.
In referring TO the war crisis President
Purse said.
1.-The experience through which this
country is how passing emphasizes the ne
cessity or some practical plan for the
prompt and rational adjustment of inter-
national differences as was sought to be
established between England and this
country during President Cieveland's last
administration. War is the last resort
for such adjustments and no one cares to
see country forced to such an ultimatum
against another. In the present instance
neither this country nor Spain il can be
fairly said, court the arbitrament of arms
to settle their differences, and yet for days
and weeks Ii has seemed impossible almost
TO avert conflict and il may come yet
If the possibility of war has been inju-
rious to business It will suffer far more
acutely should war be declared; so that to
the business of the country only disaster
and destruction come from a state of war;
but tina is secondary to the sacrifice of
life, not considering the vast expenditures
OF money for conducting it that must fill
the land with sorrow and put an additional
mortgage upon the energies of survivors
and the productive powers of field and fac
tory for years untold for war appropria-
tons and pensions. From this destruction
of business, sacrifice of valuable lives, and
waste of money no return can be expected
beyond the satisfaction of duty done to
humanity as the disaster to the battle
ship Maine stands for other adjustment"
The failure of the present administration
TO remedy the present monetary system
was referred to with the statement that
financial issues have been sidetracked by
the Cuban question. In view OF the abb
sence of peaceful conditions it is inoppor-
tune in the Board of Trades opinion to
press Savannah's claim TO designation az
a sub-treasury point
The fire insurance question, growing out
of the recent increase in rates, was re-
ferred to at some length If just cause
exists for advances Ia rates and that re-
moval would restore old rates the Board
of Trade believes it is the duty of those
responsible for the cause to remove 1t at
once
In concluding his report President Purse
said:
Savannah has more than sustained hnr
commercial prestige during the year ia
comparison with her competitors and
starts the new year in most excellent
shape to take advantage of the return OF
peaceful conditions that must follow an
amicable adjustment of the differences be-
tween this country and Spain concerning
the unfortunate condition of affairs ex.
listing in Cuba"
After the report had been received, Mr..
Chestnut offered a resolution indorsing
the effort to secure a naval coaling station
at Tybee and calling upon the Georgia SEN
ators and representatives to urge the mat
ter before the navy and war departments,

MAY NOT PUSH REQUEST.

Extra Appropriation Asked by PO-
lice Commission May BE Withheld.
The police are still hopeful of getting
the additional appropriation of $1,000 from
the city in order to make up what is con-
sidered an inadequate amount to carry
the department through the year. 1t ap-
pears, however, that the commissioners
have adopted the course of waiting until
what has already been appropriated is
exhausted before taking aggressive steps
to secure the additional amount.
Considered from all standpoints neither
the commissioners nor Chief McDermott
can see how the force can be curtailed
and carry on the work with due efficien-
cy. A minimum number of men is now
employed, and in the event any are drop
ped from either the patrol
force or any of the other
departments of the barracks, the
work cannot then be done with the same
satisfactory results.
The amount allowed by Council for the
department is SS0,CO0 and of this $7S,700 is
paid out in salaries, as against ,974 the
amount paid for the same purpose last
year. The amount left for the main
tenance or STOCK, GdmeWell system, elec-
trio lights. feeding prisoners, insurance,
and supplies is about $1,000 With the inn
provements and other things which add
expense to the department, it is asserted
it will be absolutely impossible to make
ends meet
There is no disposition to harass Coun-
Gil, however, and it may be the matter
will not be forcibly presented until some
future time. When brought up, then there
will be stronger evidence of the necessity.
and it will not be case on the part of
the commissioners, of crossing a bridge
before reaching it.

FOR THE MAINE FUND.
Master Browns Entertainment
Successful Affair.


Successful Affair.
An entertainment for the benefit OF the
Maine monument fund was given last
night at the home of Mr.. A. H. Brown,
No 319 Bolton street, west, and was large
" attended, the double parlors of the
residence being filled with people, young
and old. Master Sammie Brown was the
moving spirit in the affair, and his talents
conduced largely to the success of the
programme.
The opening number was by a trio from
the Savannah Ideal Mandolin and Guitar
Club, consisting of Messrs. j. w. Cooley,
II. Beckett and A. iSeyden, Jr. This and
the other numbers responded to by the
trio were well received.
For the Honor of Your Country and
Your Flag was sung with grace and ex-
preston by Master Brown. Sam has
been heard by many Savannah audiences,
and both his excellent acting and his
clear tenor voice have caused many
praises of his talents to be sung. He was
heard In another song and recitation
during the evening. sute~as,
Miss Lucille Heyman played a piano solo
in a manner that elected applause, and
presently met with the same success with
her recitation of THE Man Who Took
the Beans" A vocal solo was rendered
pleasingly by Mrs. Annie Otto and Miss
Emma Campbell recited Decoration
Day."
One of the events of the programme was
the Shakesperian production. The diff
Guilty found in the proper Interpretation Of
the master did not deter Masters Sam
Brown, Henry Brown and Harry Foye
from attempting the fifth act of julius
Caesar.
Several very pretty tableaux were given,
among them THE Goddess of Liberty" In
which Miss Emma Campbell posed; Rock
of Ages" and Good Night" in which lit
tie Miss May Greenbaum looked very pref
ty.
The parlors and the stage were tasse-
fully decorated with flags and the ma
tional colors, making the scene an appro-
pirate one for a performance given as a
benefit for a national cause.
Master Brown will sing For Your
Country and Your Flag at the benefit
performance for the Maine fund at the
theater Saturday night. fU

Washington letter in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The long-standing occupation of one of
the White House clerks is gone. Back
through several administrations it has
been the duty OF one man to read the news
papers for the President. This man read
and clipped and pasted. He filed scrap
books with such articles on the administra-
ton as he thought the President might
want to see at some future time. But be-
sides this, he read with reference to what
might be of Immediate concern to the Pres
ident. When he found anything he thought
the President would like to see at once. he
Clipped and pasted ii on sheet, with the
date and the name OF the paper These
sheets were laid before the President as
regularly as the mail requiring his atten-
ton. The reader for the President had a
place on the White House staff as far back
as Grants time, If not earlier. He went
through all the principal papers of the
country. 1t was in this way that Mrs.
Grant saw the beautiful tribute to her
daughter at the time OF the SartoriS wed
ding, written by the late John N. Ed
wards, Of Missouri, which she acknowl-
edged gracefully as the expression that
had touched her most deeply The reader
for the President has been abolished. Fur
thermore the President has a select num-
Der Of newspapers, which he prefers to 90
through himself. These papers are not of
one part of the country or of one political
party. Visitors al the White House have
been surprised not infrequently at the evil
dence they have had Of the Presidents ia
miliarity with the newspapers and their
positions on various questions. Just now
the President is watching the development
OF public sentiment on the Cuban question
through the editorial columns of the pa
pers he reads.

CLEANING OUT CASEY CANAL.

and Mud.
A gang of convicts is at work on the
Casey canal. They have worked up to the
Thunderbolt road, and will continue out
to the head of the canal Fifteen men are
in the gang.
The canal has been cleaned as far as
the work has progressed. When the con-
victs started they worked in water two CT
three feet deep, but the removal of the
water grass as they ascended the canal,
has allowed the water to find its flow out,
and the depth has grown much less. the
men now stand in only few inches Of
water while throwing out the grass and
mud.
In a short while the canal, with the con-
fluences of the bitches that flow into il
will be completed. Residents of the sec
tons drained by the canal are glad to see
the work being done, as the chances of
sickness are considerably lessened by the
water finding a unchecked flow.
