The weather, however, is generally fair
west of the Mississippi river. as also
in the central valley, and chiefly with

of higher pressure south. The tempera-
ture was quite high yesterday in this
section, reaching 81 at Palestine, Tex,

Their east. without the presence of any
distinct storm, rains have been quite
frequent again, and especially on the
coast from Hatteras to Key West. Large
amounts fell at Savannah las; Charles

Tybee CoaIine station.

The British corvette Cordelia. drawing
twenty-one and half feet sailed from
this city on Friday at half tide. The river
and harbor are deepening every day, as
result OF the improvements made by the
government. A competent pilot said a day
or two ago that he could anchor a ship
drawing twenty-six feet of water opposite
the city. These facts show that there
would be no risk of a lack of water to be
considered in connection with the estab-
lshment of a government coaling station
at Tybee, or elsewhere in the harbor of
Savannah, In the thirtyzsfx miles of water
front from the city to the sea there are
dozens of sites which could advantage
eously be employed for the purpose. At
Fort Oglethorpe there is an excellent ba-
sin with a depth of thirty feet of water,
and where the proposed station would be
sheltered from the sea as well as from the
guns of possible enemy. At Venus Point
there is another site available. From Venus
Point to the city there is fresh water in
which the ships could lie, to their great
advantage in getting rid of barnacles. In
the city there are machine shops and ma
rine railways, which would come in handy
on very many occasions, in all probability
Besides the very many advantages which
would accrue to the government from
coaling station In this harbOr, the mer
chant marine and the city of Savannah
would derive benefits therefrom. Tybee is
now a great calling harbor, for vessels
seeking orders. 1t would be still further
popularized if there were a coaling sta
tion there. AT present hundreds of
craft which cross the ocean from Gulf
ports. and even from Central and South
American ports, must weather Hatteras or
call at Norfolk for coal. if they do not go
TO Bermuda for supplies. They would pre-
fer to stop at Tybee for coal, no doubt,
since from that point they could strike
safe and easy course across the Atlantic.
The people of Savannah, therefore, as well
as the government, have something to gain
from the carrying out of the scheme, and
they should work for its success.

Unfnir 10 the North.

The New Orleans Picayune is disposed to
be impatient under the paean of praises
which is now being sung to the South. 1t
says: While the press of the North Is
industriously singing the praises of the
South and the apparent willingness of
Southerners TO rally in great numbers TO
the defense Of the flag, it is at the same
time suggesting that Southern troops be
preferably sent TO Cuba should an inva-
sion of that island be decided on. One
would imagine that coupled with these
complimentary sentiments about Southern
valor would be a general demand for the
proper fertilization and defense of the
Southern coast. This is not the case how
ever. While our Northern brethren rec,
ommend that the bulk of the fighting
be left TO us, they are careful to insist
that all the protection be massedf alons
their own coast line"
our contemporary, 1t seems. is a little
harsh. 1t is true that the ports of the
South Atlantic and the Gulf are made
quately protected. But there are reasons
for thinking the South will receive tho
major portion of the attention of the au-
thorities from this time on until it shall
have been put into a fairly good defensive
condition. Guns and ammunition and
troops are being moved Southwark, in the
anticipation that this section would be in
more danger than any other in the event
of war.
Meantime the bulk of the navy depart
ment's forces is in Southern waters. Spain
could not possibly make a demonstration
against any American port without find
ing an American fleet in the harbor or
the offing to give her back better than she
could send. The ships are ready for buss>
ness; and in their business they know no
North and no South.
1t is true that up to within a year or
two no attention was paid TO Southern
Notifications and ornaments, while mill
lions upon millions of dollars were spent
for the protection of New York, Boston,
Philadelphia Newport and other North
ern points. That, however, is a matter
OF the past; and it is possible that we
are in measure to blame. in not bringing
sufficient influence to bear upon Congress
to have the Southern ports fortified. Pos
sibly we did not ourselves attach enough
importance to the need for forts and guns.
Or, possibly, we have given too much atA
tention to the game of internal politics,
and too little to bigger and broader mat
ters.
1t is hardly fair to the North 20 say it
is trying to make the South do the fight
ing. while it gets into a bomb-proof and
gets the glory and the war contracts. The
North will have to do its share of the
fighting if fighting is to be done.

these islands are of much more Importance

waiian annexation scheme.

sustain the President!
From the Philadelphia Record Oem.).

President McKinley's secretary, ]. Ad-
Olson Porter, probably knows as nearly
as any one at Washington the innermost
thoughts, hopes and fears of his chief.
Mr.. Porter has thus outlined the Cuban
situation in signed dispatch to his pa
per, the Hartford Courant:
"A majority of senator's and represent
atives seem bent on forcing war. They
claim this is what the country wants and
expects. Conservative people should he
heard from Immediately and emphatically,
or the wise policy of the President may
be negatved."
This has the unmistakable ring of truth
In II. Secretary Porter's appeal comes as
a voice direct from the seat of executive
power. Let every good citizen, every lover
of truth, justice and national honor, wait
upon and sustain the President, and turn
a deaf ear to sensational shriekers for de-
vastaung and bloody war, whether in or
out of Congress!

Porto Rico may ask to be allowed to
come in under our Intervention in behalf
of Cuba. The Porto Ricans are not salts
fled with the autonomy which Spain has
granted to them. The autonomist minis
try has resigned, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that the plan in that island is a
complete failure. The dispatches telling
of the state of affairs there say the Porto
Ricans sympathize with the United
States" They would, therefore, probably
like for US to sympathize with them, in
a practical sort of way.

The New York Herald prints the report

K. Vanderbilt that, in the event of war,
he will present to the United States a
battleship to cost not less than 5000, 600
Mr.. Vanderbit's absence from New York
prevented the Herald from confirming the
rumor, though it says there are reasons
for thinking there is basis for the story
Mr.. Vanderbilt's grandfather, the old
Commodore, made the government a
present of a warship worth 100000 dur
