VERY SANGUINE.


Mr.. Dodge is very sanguine Of the
adoption of the steel road idea. One
OF the great problems of the day, he
said is to improve the means of trans
portation for short hauls, and the steel
wagon road is one of the most promis-
ing means to that end.
Our facilities for transportation for
long distances is all that could be de-
sired, he went on to say, but for dis
tances like twenty and thirty miles it
is far from what it should be, Prin-
ciples are being developed now that
promise to supply this deficiency. The
bicycle, which carries six times its
own weight, is an important step in
this direction. All other vehicles weigh
more-some Of them a hundred times
mOrc-than their burdens. Storage bat
teries and other like means of propul-
sion he mentioned as another step
along this line.
These two ideas taken in connection
with the steel roadway open up Won
derful possibilities. The steel road
way, he argued, makes possible light
er vehicles. Lighter vehicles invite the
substitution of mechanical for costly
animal power. Development along this
latter line means in time. as MIR. Dodge
views it, facilities for transportation
over short hauls, cuualling those we
now enjoy over long hauls.
AT THE BICYCLE CLUB.
Last evening Mr.. Dodge was enter
tanned at the Scranton bicycle club
house, and at midnight he left for his
home, in Ohio. TO cast a straight Re
publican vote.

Hon. Martin Dodge. of Cleveland, di-
rector of the United States Bureau of
Road Inquiry, ran up from Washing
ton yesterday to confer with the direc-
tors of the Abingdon Turnpike and
Plank Road company relative to the
adoption of his steel track idea in
the Improvement of their road.
y. B. Dunning, who was secretary Of
the good roads parliament at the Oma-
ha exposition, over which Mr.. Dodge
presided. and who is an enthusiast Ov-
er the new scheme of road bulding
met Mr.. Dodge upon his arrival here
at 1.j2 o'clock p. m, and accompanied
him tu the conference with the turn
pike company, which was held in the
office OF Hon. w. w Watson in the
Traders bank building.
The result OF the conference was
decision on the part of the turnpike
people to construct a short piece Of
steel roadway after Mr.. Dodgcs plans
by way of experiment. If actual us
age does not develop latent defects,
that cannot be readily overcome. the
whole turnpike will be improved with
the steel tracks.
N'JN oI 1 tIOA1'.
The company now spends over $500
q year in repairs of each mile of its
road. The steel road can be built for
about $4,000 a mile and is practically
indestructahla. When the company
gets ready to lay the road. the govern
ment. Mr.. Dodge says, will furnish
gratis an expert engineer to oversee
the work. This will be the first road
Of this kind TO be constructed. There
was a short one at the Omaha expos
ition, but that was not put to a practi-
cal test, being simply for exhibition
purposes There is another steel road
in Ohio but it differs from the one "a
be constructed here in that is has out
side flanges, which have proven virtu-
ally fatal defect
The road to be built here will EN-.
brace all the latest ideas in this style
of road-making. Its design was de-
scribed at length by Mr.. Dunning ir

THE CHESTER LEAVES.
Two Other Transports VIII Sail from
Savannah in Few Days.

SAVANNAH, GA. Dec. l6.-The Trans
port Chester sailed this morning Tor
Marianao. Cuba. carrying Brlgadier-
General Hasbrouck and the headquarters
stan Of the Second Division OF the Sew
enth Army Corps, and the Fourth Nir-
ginia Regiment.
The arnsports Minnewaska ana Rou-
manian arrived from Havana this morn
ing. They will take aboard the Forty
ninth Iowa and the Sixth Missouri regi-
ments tomorrow and Will probably sail
the next day. At late hour last night
fire was discovered I'm the coal bunkers
of the Roumanian. IL is thought II had
been burning for several days. as fumes
OF gas had been noted. No damage has
been done LabOrers are now at work
shifting the coal for the purpose of To-
eating the fire.
The local health authorities are in;er-
esting themselves 10 see that only fresh
and healthful meats are taken aboard
the transports taking troops 10 Cuba.
This morning the health officer visited
and inspected the fresh meats of the
Roumanian and Chester. On the Chester
there was found ton Of beef that was
not in prime condition. II was imme-
diately condemned and ordered sent TO
the crematory The order was complied
with without hesitation.

SAVANNAH. GA, Dec. l6.-Special.-
Fourth Virginia Regiment is of for
Marianao. Cuba. They sailed on the
Government transport Chester. which left
her dock at the Ocean Steamship Com
pany's wharf, at II o'clock this morning,
and dropped down 10 the Blight. where
she anchored. She remained there until
tonight. when she sailed for Cuba. The
Chester went to the Blight without any
trouble. She could have gone on to sea,
but for some little odds ana ends that
were not loaded at the wharf. and 10
have waited for them there, the trans
port would have had to miss a tide.
A GOOD SEND-OFF.
The Chester was given as big send
off as troops usually get when they pass
ed out of the river. The whistles Of the
steam vessels were blowing all the time
as the ship passed out OF the river
The Chester demonstrates on this trip
that the channel Of the Savannah river
is all right This is the transport that
went aground when forced out Of the
channel by another ship. 1t went TO the
Blight this morning. drawing just as
much water as on any former occasion,
and without mihap.
The Virginians were all on deck, and
up in the rigging when the Chester pass
ed down the river. The buglers sounded
their trumpets all along the way. The
water front was crowded, and the SOL
diers were given rousing big send-oh.
The men slept aboard the Chester last
night Although the accommodations or
the transport are not as satisfactory
as those aboard the Mobile. there Is plen-
~ of room. and the men will be able
to make themselves fairly comfortable.
FOURTH POPULAR.
There is probably no regiment Of the
Seventh Corps, the members Of which
have been more generally popultr with
the people Of Savannah than the Fourth
Virginia. Both ofiictrs and men have
been the recipients Of many attentions
socially. and the members OF the regi-
ment probably have a more extensive
acquaintance among the people Of Sa-
vannah than those OF any other regiment.
The conduct OF both officers and men
throughout have been such as TO confirm
the good impression formed on first ac-
quaintance They will leave many warm
friends behind them and their remem-
brances of Savannah can hardly be 9TH
erwise than pleasant.
