THE MORNING NEVIS MONDAY, FEBRUARY q, 1898

The improvement of The Savannah river
from this city.to Augusta would doubtless
have very beneficial effect upon the bust
ness of this city and port, as well as that
of Augusta, and also upon the fortunes Of
the people living along the river. There
are no better lands TO be found anywhere
in the world than those of the Savannah
river valley, but they are as yet undevel-
oped because of a lack Of transportation
facilities. II is true that there is a rail-
road ON each side of the river but the
roads are too far away to facilitate freight
and passenger traffic. The improvements
would open up a good and reliable water
route for freights between the interior and
the seaboard by way of Augusta, thus
tending to Lessen freight charges and turn
a volume Of commerce through this port
which now finds an outlet elsewhere. The
Cotton Exchange and the Board of Trade
of this city have taken action urging an
appropriation for the work, and now is
the time to push the matter by personal
efforts. Senators and Representatives in
Congress should be urged to see that the
matter has prompt, and if possible, favor
able consideration.

Wants sherman to Retire.
From the New York Times Dem.).

The President is not skilled in diplom-
acy or in foreign affairs. In Judge Day
he has a strong ana able assistant, but
Judge Day is a a disadvantage in per-
forming the duties of an Office of which
he has neither the dignity nor the re-
sponsbility. 1t is most unseemly that the
President should longer tolerate this dis
ability of his administratio at what is at
present the most important point Mr.
Shermans continuance in office is a source
of public disquietude.

The Maine. her armament and stores
cost the government, all told, not less
than 100000. She was destroyed, accord
ing to the advices. in less than five min
utes. Sinking money at the rate of mill
ion dollars a minute is something which
not even our respected Uncle Sam could
stand for a great while. Are we not put
ting too many eggs into one basket in the
matter of our warships? Our great need
in the absence of colonies to be defended
and a vigorous foreign policy" of the sort
calculated to get us into war in foreign
waters, is for coast and harbor defense
vessels. il has been claimed a vessel of
the class of the Amphitrite would be quite
as effective in defending a harbor as a
battle snip, and the cost of the monitors Is
much less than 81 100000 each

The soldier of McClellan's command
who has challenged Gen. Lew Wallace to
mortal combat for telling what he declares
is the truth with regard to McClellan's
campaign and President Lincoln's visit
to Harrison's Landing for the purpose of
persuading Mcclellan not to surrender, is
probably one of that class of veterans who
object to the truth being written in histo-
ry, and who created the demand for such
d war history as that written by McMas-
ter.

1t Is proper that our government should
Rot go into a joint investigation of the
Maine disaster with the Spanish govern
ment Our investigation should and will
be full and unhampered, and the Spaniards
are at perfect liberty TO hold such an in
vestigation, or any sort of an investga-
ton which they may please, upon their
own account. Thus there will be no room
for questioning the conclusions which will
be reached by our inquiry.

In the Name of War, Contracts.

of the short-lived CHILEAN war that il
was good enough war to make Congress
vote him some welcome contracts. is stin

silver lining to the Spanish war cloud
There may be no war, and that is uufor-
tunate, but there will be big naval appro-
'priations and lot of money voted for
fortitications, and, next to a bloody war.
this is our chief consolation.

alleged heresy was discovered in that chap

be brought before the church authorities

 First, the hospital gives no promise or being self-supporting- Since January or this year it has lost almost S2OIJ. During the coming year an additional expense of three or four hunrded dollars will CT necessity be incurred on account or the enforced absence of ore of the sisters
 Second. the Sisters of Mercy do not own inc Sacred Heart academy building, IL Eesne the property of the parish cnurch, which institution requires the buliolng at tLjs; time and in consequence the sisletS must yacate Just at this time the clli- zens of Albuquerque offer the sisters bonus of 5000 to start Q hospital 1n that place Therefore the plan is to transief inc sisters and hospital equipment or tnls place to Albuquerque and occupy the present hospital building with the sacred Heart academy.
 To Phoenix this is a real calamity 1ne city must have hospital, and fl self sacrificing women who contribute all or inc labor-a labor of love, too-cannot conduct such an institution at profit no organization can hope to do so, ana the people must endow one.

NAVAL CONSTRUCTORS, COURSE
Instruction to Be Given at Massachu-
 setts Institute of Technology

Boston, Sept. 2S.-The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will give this year a complete course in naval con- struction and marine engineering. This expansion of one of the institutes most important courses is due to the decision of Secretary Long to aban- don a similar course which was given at Annapolis, and to transfer cadets taking the course to the institute.
 This means that the government. will have a direct supervision over the course and will give to the institution every possible aid and advantage in perfectirg it. Constructor HobsOn was the first director Of the course at Annapolis.
 The abandonment of the post grad uate course at Annapolis was decided upon at the recommendation of Chief Constructor Hichborn, who was op- posed to it's establishment there at the time HibSCn was first placed in charge one year ago. Constructor Hichborn found the Boston school best adapted fer handling the course, and recently requested the president to submit the draft of a course for the department $ examination. This plan has now been approved, and Secretary Long has di- irected eight cadets to report October next for the study course. which will cover a period Of three years, including practical instruction during the sum- mer at ship yards and navy yards.

The marriage, however, could not be consummated until the education of the princess was completed, and the ceremony did net take place until two years after the romantic meeting Of the lovers.

She was as loyable and womanly as she was beautiful She freJted under the re- strictions of court etiquette, and all the malicious gossip concerning her was due to her refusal to be bound by court rules. She had passionate love

KILLED ON THE TRACK.
Thomas Davis Rode a Bicycle in
 Front of an Engine.

Thomas Davis, a bumper on the Santa Fe, Prescott 6 Phoenix railroad, was struck and killed by an engine late yesterday afternoon about thirty five miles above the city. The killing occurred near Nada station, at bridge 305, between Wickenburg and Boards ley. Davis was riding a bicycle be- tween the tracks coming this way. Freight train No. 3, though running yesterday as an extra, approached from behind The engineer naturally be- lieved the bicyclist would leave the track. until the engine was so close upon him that its speed could not be slackened in time. As soon as possible after Davis was struck the train was stopped The unfortunate man was al ready dead His body was put on the train, brought to town and taken to w. A. Davis undertaking rooms.
 Justice Johnstone impaneled a cor cner's jury late last night and an in quest was held, resulting in a verdict that death was caused by an unavoid- able accident, exonerating- the em-
 ployes of the railroad combany from
 blame.
 1 From what could be learned it was believed that Davis was intoxicated.
 When the body was picked up there
 was found in his pocket a broken bot
 tie which had contained whisky. It was also incOnceivable that sober
 man in possession of the sense Of hearing should remain on the track in
 front of near approaching train
 which was not running at great speed. The remains Of Davis will be buried

CITY LIMITS.
Beyond Which City Offenders Nay
 Be Pursued and Captured.
November 24, 1888

Officers Molloy and Galpin early yes terday morning arrested three prosu- tutes, Bessie Moore, Hattie Lee and Laura George, who were driving about town in a hack with Librado Orosco. One Of the women escaped from the officers and fed to the city of refuge beyond Seventh street. The officers went after her and brought her out or a saloon and to the city jail to the great surprise of the denizens Of the reservation, who believe that they are immune against onslaugtts by the police. As matter of fact city officers have a right to follow hot trail or one who has committed an of1ense within the limits, though the offender may try to take refuge outside This is a regulation that prevails every where. The writer once knew mounted policeman who attempted to arrest a smart young man from the rural districts who created a disturb ance of the peace at 9 Hast chance saloon preparatory to starting for home. He then fled on horseback. pursued by the policeman, who chased him a mile beyond the city limits and finally captured him by shooting ana killing his horse.
 The young mans parents were weahhy and sought redress from the police commissioners for the death or the horse and the indignity to their son. The commissioners replied that the policeman had shown a praise worthy attention to duty, and declined tc even put him on fhe carpet Then the matter was taken into a circuit court in the form of a damage suit against the city to recO-S- the value of the horse, the amount the young man had paid for a fine and for such other relief as the court might deem equitable The court, however, de cided that policemen have sort oI overlapping jurisdiction and that the boundary between a corporate town and the adjacent rural community must not be too sharp and distinct, else an offender with little start could easily put himself beyond punishment.
 In the case Of the three women who have been arrested, they intend to stand trial Orosco, the other ot- fender, was tried and sentenced to sixty days On the chain gang He gave notice of an appeal
