The increase of exports was. as already
indicated. in manufactured articles and
articles of food, while naturally the de-
crease in imports was in precisely the
same class of articles. Chemicals, china
ware, glassware. manufactures of cotton
iron and steel, leather, silk, wool. wood
and ibre, all show a decrease In importa-
lions compared with 1897 and $685. while in
lbreadstuffs provisions, fish, fruits, wines
sugar, tea and coffee there was also a
marked decrease in the importatons On
the other hand, In articles required by
manufacturers for use In manufacturing
there was an Increase in nearly every case
over both 1897 and 1896, the chief exception
being In wool, of which the importations
of 1897 were unusually large
The following table shows the importa-
tions of all general classes OF articles
which exceed IS, 900, 900 In value. comparing

THE NEW PROVOST MARSHAL.
Lieut.. Col. McWilIiams, of the 4th

Lieut.. Col. McWilIiams, of the 4th
Illinois. to Succeed Mai. Harrison.
Maj. Gen. Keiffer, who is to command
the Seventh Army Corps in Savannah eff
er the departure of Maj. Gen. Lee, an
nounced yesterday that he would appoint
Lieut.. Col. S. A. D. McWniiams of The
Fourth Illinois as provost marshal to sue
coed Maj. Russell b. Harrison, who goes
to Havana to act as provost marshal there.
Lieut.. Col. McWiniams occupied the tent

duty He is well acquainted with the du-
ties of his office, is recognized as an Of
fcer of tact and determination, and there
is no doubt but that ne viii be an efficient

Maj Harrison will probably leave this
week for cuba. He has won a reputation
here, as he did at Jacksonville, as an Of
ficer, who demonstrated remarkable ca
pacity for The position of provost marshal
Under his administration the public peace
has been well preserved, and as that is

CROOKS CONFESS THEIR GUILT.
Clayton and Smith Say They Were
Broke and Had to Make n Raise.

Fred Clayton and Charles Smith, the
men who worked the short change swim
die so successfully at several stores Sat
urday night, will be interesting prisoners
in Police Court this morning. They viii
be arraigned on the charge of cheating and
swindling, and the probability is they Will
not make very great effort to prove their
innocence.
Chief McDermott had talk with the
prisoners yesterday. He had already dis
covered additional evidence against them
Considering the number of stores they VS.
tied, II was a little strange that Clayton,
who conducted the operations, only had
$l2 when he was arrested. 1t was thousht
al the time there was something wrong.
The presumption proved true when ChleL
McDermott unrolled an umbrella belonging
TO Clayton, and found $21 in bills secreted
in It. He had apparently put it there 10
be on the safe side in case he was taken
by the detectives, but the dodge didn't
work.
The men make no denial of the charges
against them Clayton confessed that ne
was manipulating change so as to con-
fuse his victims, but said he did It be-
cause ne was in hard luck. lie wanted
to make raise, ana adOpleN thlS way Va
doing il. He said that ne and Smith came
to Savannah Friday from Jacksonville.
AS stated in the Morning News yester-
day, the change racket has not been sur
ficiently worked in Savannah to arouse
suspicion when q suspicious-looklnS
stranger presents a bill This is demon
strated by the efforts of Detective Mar
tin Scully to put people on their guard ar
ter it was known Clayton and Smith were
working the town He called at num-
her OF places, explained the trick and told
the people to be on the lookout for the
men. Many could not understand how
such a game could be played on them, and
made inquiries which showed they had
never been swindled in this way.
1T is the easiest kind of thing for these
fellows to swindle even good accountants,
said Chief McDermott. They rush into
a store hurriedly, preferably when there
is a rush or excitement Calling for 5
or 10-cent purchase, they produce $40 bill
or a bill of good size. After the bill Is
passed TO the clerk and the crook gets
his change, he accidentally runs across a
dime he didn't know he had. He then
asks the clerk to return his bill and he
win just pay the money. The bill is re-
turned, the clerk takes the dime without
thinking of the s. bill, and by the time
the error is discovered, the swindler has
gone. They are sometimes hard to catch,
just swooping down on a town and then
leaving the same day"

READY FOR THE BIG REVIEW.
A PROBABLE BUSINESS HOLIDAY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

Only Opportunity in Years TO See
such n Large Array of Troops.
Review to Begin Promptly at 5
O'cIOck-The General Formation.
Probably No Street Parade After
1vard-Light batteries of Artillery
10 Parade with Their Guns, Thirty
in All.
Arrangements for the review of all the
United States troops In the vicinity of Sa-
vannah, to take place tomorrow after
noon, will be made to-day. Maj. Gen.
Lee, commander of the Seventh Corps, in
reviewing, win occupy position on horse
back about where the stand was at the
last review, on the east side of the Park
extension, opposite Bolton street. The
Georgia Hussars will make a background
for the general and his staff.
The various commands will leave their
camping grounds between 1890 and l
o'clock p. m, it being the intention to be-
gin the march past the reviewing officer
promptly at o'clock. Maj Gen. Keller
will be in command of the troops for the
purpose of the review, while Gen. Whea-
ton will command the First Division and
Gen. Williston the Second Division. The
Third Georgia Regiment has been attached
TO the First Division for the review. Lieut.
Col. Haskin will command ali the artil-
lery including the heavy and light bat
teries. 1t is estimated that there will be
1000 artillerymen alone in line, with the
thirteen infantry regiments, making a
total of probably over 5000 soldiers IN
the review.
The First Division will form on the
right, at the New Houston street end of
the western side of the park extension,
with the artillery in the center. and the
Second Division at the left, or nearest the
park. The heavy artillerymen, of course,
will carry their rifles, but the light bat
teries will bring out their guns of which
there are thirty now here This will add
greatly to the spectacular effect OF the
review, and will put the troops in much
closer quarters in the park than they were
in the first review.
Guards will be stationed, as before, 10
keep the public from crowdng on the pa
rade ground and interfering with the
movements Of the troops. After the re-
view the commands will return to their
camps. There will probably be no street
parade, the march TO and from the camp
being considered sufficient.
The indications are that the afternoon
will be made a general business holiday.
A number of leading business houses have
already decided to close in order to give
their employees an opportunity to see the
review, and it is probable that ALI the
others will follow suit. 1t will likely be
the last chance in many years to see such
a large turnout of troops in Savannah,
and the feeling in favor Of properly recog
nizing the occasion is very strong.

WILL BEGIN PAYING OFF TO-DAY.
First North CarOIinians First TO BE
laid.

The First North Carolina Regiment, the
signal corps, and the First Division hospi-
tai corps, will receive their pay for No
vember to-day The paymasters are here
and have made all their arrangements for
paying off the men. The work viii begin
this morning and the men will all have
been made happy by night.
The First North Carolina will be the
first regiment to get its pay. Then viii
come the Second Illinois and then the One
Hundred and Sixty-First Indiana. These
regiments are to be the first paid because
they win be the first to take transports for
Cuba. They have been ordered TO board
the vessels in very short time, and it
viii be necessary for the paying to pro-
coed rapidly for them to get their money
before they leave.
The paymasters arrived yesterday morn
ing from Atlanta and are CHARTERED at the
Marshall House. The chief paymaster is
Maj. e. w. Halford and the additional
paymasters are Majs. George T. Holloway,
William j. Cowden, William b. Dwight
and Henry J. May. There are also a num-
Der of clerks, among them Messrs. W. w.
Barre, CharlesaJ. Dwight, w. w. Thran,
w. G. Giles, j. II. Tnibadeau. c. c. Whit
lock and Joseph H. Swan. All these are
connected with the department of the Gulf
and come here on a special order to pay
off the troops From Savannah they will
go TO Summerville, TO Greenville and Au-
gusta TO pay off the troops eucamped at
those places.
The paymasters and their clerks re-
ceived the muster rolls of some of the
regiments yesterday. They made up their
accounts for the North Carolinians, and
have everything in readiness for paying
them off IL will hardly be practicable,
the paymasters think, to pay off the other
two regiments tomorrow on account of
the review that is to take place in the
afternoon in the park extension. The
troops will need the forenoon the pay
masters think, TO get in readiness for the
review, but they say they will pay them
off IL their officers desire 1t done.
After the regiments that are to leave
have been paid off the paymasters will
continue with the others, and 1t was said
by one Of them last night that the end of
the week should see all of them with their
money. The funds for the payment of
the troops will be here this morning, get
ting in by express from Washington.

4 Genuine Cold wave Scheduled for
This Morning.

The cold wave signal is flying over the
weather bureau, and the prospect Is that
to-day will be the first genuinely cold day
of the season. The storm which has been
prevailing over the Southeast for the last
day or two has moved northeastwardly,
increasing in intensity. The result is much
colder weather in this section, with west
erly and northwesterly gales.
A telegram received from the chief Of
the weather bureau at Washington, by
the local observer yes erday. ordered the
cold wave signal hoisted and announced
that the temperature would fall fifteen to
twenty degrees by this morning. A later
telegram announced that the storm had
moved northeastwardly, and that the
weather would be much colder.
AT s O'Clock last night the thermometer
in the weather bureau office stood at a
degrees, three degrees above the minimum
Tor Saturday night. Il will likely be much
lower by this morning.

ABE sMALL's DAY OF DOOM.
The Murderer Preparing for His
Execution Friday.

The Murderer Preparing for His
Execution Friday.
Unless there is an unforeseen interdic-
ton. Abe Small will hang in the Chatham
county jail Friday. This is the day fixed
for his execution, and the letter of the
law will be carried out, unless a pardon
is granted. AS the Supreme Court has
finally passed upon the case, however, this
is not probable.
Small is not receiving many visitors.
He is occasionally visited by colored min
listers, who have taken much interest in
his case all along, but besides these, there
are few to add comfort to deaths near
approach. The prisoner reads his Bible
a great deal, and is giving thought to his
spiritual welfare, realizing about the last
ray of hope for a commutation of sentence
has about gone.
The doomed man is now confined in a
cell in murderer's row. He Is about six
cells from that in which he will drop
when executed. There VIII not be any pre-
parations of any consequence to make in
the Jail for the execution, as the rope
that has served for many executions, as
well as the other things that will be need
ed, are already in place.
The execution cell is i'm the southeast
corner and on the second floor of the
Jail. The upper compartment, in which
the doomed are lead, is encased in iron
plate, while the lower part is enclosed
by bars The two trap doors are heavily
padded on the bottom, so that the drop
produces very little noise.
Sheriff Roman has always performed this
unpleasant part of his duties in a proper
way. He admits none in the jail. with the
exception of those whose business it is to
witness the hanging.

LINES WILL BE EXTENDED.
Attorney Harrow Tells What May BE
Done for Southern Section.

Done for Southern Section.
The property owners of the southwest
section of the city will be heard some time
during the present week as to their desires
about the contemplated car line extern
sions. 1t is understood the street railroad
will ask this expression from those inter
ested so that there may be no mistake
in the route selected.
Hon. Pope Barrow, attorney for the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railroad, was seen yesterday by a repre-
sentative of the Morning News. Mr.. Bar
row was asked about improvements in the
car service in that section and he said
there were prospects of an extension of
the lines.
Alderman Krouslzoff has already given
the facts to the public as far as we have
gone" Mr. Barrow said. He has stated
them correctly in his interviews. We in
tend TO give the people of that section the
best possible service. The object of the
work we are now doiqg is to ascertain the
proper changes to make. There is no use
taking two bites at a cherry We desire
to find out the situation and hear from
the people out there, as well as the City
Council, before making a change. If a
hasty i'll considered change is made, it
will have to be altered and then comes
confusion. After all parties have been
consulted, the best possible arrangement
will be made"
The committee on streets and lanes has
already considered the route TO be fol-
lowed. but it was decided to get the peo-
pies Endorsement before it As presented to
the railroad company. While no arrange
ment has been made to get this express
sion, Alderman Krouskon, who is heading
the movement, expects TO have an I'M
derstanding on this point in a few days.
