NOT FOR NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
Congressman Lester Thinks the Gov
ernment PaternaI Enough Now.

Congressman Lester does not believe in
national control of quarantine, either land
or maritime He thinks the govern
ment is paternal enough already and that
the movement to place the control of quar-
ant:ne in the hands of the marine hospital
service is only another step in that direc-
ton
In a recent letter to Health Officer Le-
Hardy, in reply to one addressed 10 him on
this subject by the health officer, Col.
Lester says:
In reference to the quarantine business
1 do not favor the idea mat the government
should assume any authority in the mat
ter IL Is dangerous TO the states. But the
idea of consolidation is growing and soon
we will find ourselves bound hand and foot
and a United States officer In every house
to enforce some parental regulation.
The performance I'm Mobile was a very
unsatisfactory and impotent conclusion,
it seems to me. The resolutions passed
seem to be mere platitudes and intended
apparently to avoid the question rather
than to solve it, l was in hopes that that
convention would formulate something
practical and was disappointed. do not
know what viii be The outcome of it all.
I am continually receiving resolutions, etc,
passed by municipal and other bodies, urg-
ing the giving OF quarantine regulations

find that Congressman Lester agrees with

LAUNCHES FOR YACHT CLUB.
AdvisabiIity of Their Purchase to BE
Discussed To-day.

Advisability of Their Purchase to BE
Discussed To-day.
A meeting of the Savannah Yacht Club
will be held at the club house this after
noon.
The purchase of one or more naphtha
launches for the use of the members, and
an amendment relating to the mode of
electing future applicants for membership
win be the principal subjects for consider
alton.
The commodore will submit a detailed
statement of the financial affairs of the
club, and the members will then decide
whether, in view of the present and pros
pective condition of the treasury, the club
should purchase naphtha launch.
The board of stewards have full power
to incur this expense, but it is deemed
best to lay the matter before the member
ship at large, and act upon its recommen-
dations. BY this course the majority will
be satisfied. and the minority recOnciled
10 the result. A large attendance is look
ed for, as notice Of the proposed action has
been sent to all the members.
1t is believed by many that If 1t Is de-
cided to purchase, moderate charge to
every member using the launch will defray
the expenses of running and keeping it
in order.
The club will also consider the advisa-
biity of vesting the election of new mern-
bers in the board of stewards, and an
amendment to that end will be presented
for action. Six applications for member
ship will be acted upon by the meeting.

Fire Commissioners and Aldermen
in Conference.
A conference was held at the city ex-
change last night between Chairman Gray
son and Fire Commissioner Cunningham
on the one hand and Aldermen Owens.
Davis, Krouskoff, Hull and O'Donnell on
the other.
The conference lasted some time. When
it adjourned none of the parties who were
present would give any information as to
the object of the meeting. 1t was strictly
graveyard, they said. and everybody had
been pledged 10 secrecy.
There was a very probable report, how
ever, to the effect that the meeting had
been called for the purpose of considering
some means of bringing about the re-
moval of the increased insurance rate
Just how it is hoped TO accomplish this
is unknown, bst there is evidently some
thing on foot. The meeting is said to
have been called at the instance of Alder.

COLDING THEIR CHOICE.
Naval Reserves Want Their Lieu
ant-Commander Reelected

Naval Reserves Want Their Lieu
tenant-COmmande Reelected.
There Is considerable talk among tie
naval militia of an election which it is
thought the Governor may order shortly
The prospect of an election is absorbing
many of the militia, and will continue TO
De OF interest to them until it has been
held.
before the meeting last night there were
two candidates in the field for lieutenant
commander, the present incumbent Lieut..
commander Colding, and the other Lieut..
=. +. Broughton. The announcement by
Lieut.. Broughton at the last meeting that
ne would be a candidate came in the ma
ture OF surprise to Lieut.. Colding and
has friends, who anticipated no opposition
from the local divisions. Lieut.. Brough-
ton, however, has been identified with the
naval militia some time and felt that he
deserved the honor.
AS two candidates for Lieut. Comman-
der from Savannah and a consequent oil
vision of the vote here would strongly
presage defeat in favor of a candidate
from Brunswick, it was determined by the
two Savannah candidates to submit their
claims to a meeting. This was done, and
When the votes were counted it was found
Lieut.. Colding was the choice and will
therefore receive the vote of the local oil
vision. His popularity with his men was
strongly evidenced, and all are anxious TO
see him reelected.
The date of the election is not known
though there Is a probability it will be
held very soon. Elections cannot take
place until ten days after the official order
has been issued by the Governor. Tho
votes of the two Brunswick divisions and
the two local divisions are cast at the
same time, and after being sealed, are
transmitted to the Governor to be counted
The information comes from Brunswick
that there is considerable dissatisfaction
in the divisions there. Lieut.. j. e. Wright
who was the choice of many members, de-
cined to be a candidate, and there was
considerable talk of an outside man.

yesterday to make contracts for fresh sup
plies for their commands. They also ar

the construction of store houses.
There viii be no stables for the horses
of the light battery. Lieut.. Burgess said
they will stand picketed in the open air.
The horses are hardy and able to stand
the slight exposure to which they will be
subjected. Their continual strife is with
the sandfiies that are still getting in their
annoying WORK. The pests are said to be
swarming about the tents to feed on the
artillerymen. When the breeze is from
the sea the pests are blown inland, but
they get very troublesome when the wind
is light.
Sixteen men from the two batteries are
expected to leave to-day for New York.

SANITARY BOARD TO MEET.
Drainage, Charges Against DIR. Ke-
nan and other Matters to Come Up.


The sanitary board will hold its BIZ
monthly meeting this afternoon. There is
considerable business to come before the
meeting. The board of plumbing examin-
ers will submit Its first monthly report.
Health Officer LeHardy will bring the
matter of drainage about the city before
the board, and will suggest that con-
ference of the County Commissioners with
the sanitary board be requested in order
that some definite plan OF drainage work
around the city may be agreed upon.
Kenan will also be considered
DIR. Duncan expressed no opinion in re-
gard to the matter, and said that an
investigation would be held and the re-
suit transmitted to Council with possibly
no recommendation. Witnesses have been
summoned, and the sanitary board will
probably conclude the investigation this
afteroon.
