The American Navy is likely soon to have tor
pedo boats of an entirely pattern. Amer

and two of this kind are building according to
the Sccor patents at the Secor Shpyard. at the

pclo boat seventy five feet in length. 4 smaller
steel boat is ready for launching.
In the Secor boats there no fireboXrs, boilers
or screws. The fuel is burned directly in the
cylinder. and almost the entire heat energy is
utilized in propeling the boat.

ton introduced by Senator Chandler. Will make
its report TO the Secretary of the Navy after the
trial. which will occur next week.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-01

Georgia and South Carolina coasts, was
the next disastrous storm. Its history is
well remembered. In this storm the
steamship City OF Savannah was lost off
st. Helena Island. and hundreds of small
er craft were swept away.
Then came the storm of Sept g. 1896
two years ago-which caused great loss
Of life and property.
The storm just passed was Of longer du-
ration than that of two years ago. For
ten hours the wind blew a steady gale.
Back in the SOS Savannah suffered Sc
verely from storms. There was no ma
tional signal service and nothing in the
nature of a weather bureau in 1854, the
year Of the great storm preceding that of
1881 The ship news departments of the
daily papers in those days afforded what
ever meteorological forecasts they hap
pened TO get in general way.
Sept. s, 1859, at O'Clock p. m, the
wind, which afterward brought such dis
aster, had reached a hurricane, and its
desructiveness began. Three feet of
water covered the wharves and cotton
yards and tin from the roofs, tiles shin
gleS shutters, signs and broken branches
OF trees filed the air and blocked the
streets. At that time Hutchisons Island
on the, opposite side of the river, was in
high state of cultivation and was COW
cred with the houses of people. The storm
completely wrecked it, dsmantling every.
thing and sweeping away everything that
could float, submerging the rice fields and
farms and drowning over a thousand cat
tie. So rapidly did the tide rise that both
escape and assistance Were early rendered
impossible. From the city the progress
of humiliation could only be helplsssly
viewed. The shipping suffered severely,
vessels breaking from their moorings, and
riding upon the wharves.
Yellow fever was raging in the city at
the time and on the day Of the storm
there were thirteen burials The mortal
ity from the dread disease on that day
was twenty-eight and seventeen were vic
Tins of yellow fever.

Mother Earth So Soaked She Can't
AbOrb Another Drop of Water.
Reports from along the lines of the
roads entering Savannah show that the
velocity of the wind yesterday morning
was evidently greatest at Savannah or
within radius of very few miles of
this city. While there was a severe blow
reports lead to the conclusion that 1t was
no where else as severe as here.
The rains, though, for a belt of thirty
miles or more, were equally as heavy, and
in fact 1t would not be surprising If the
fall was greater in the country than in
the city. Beyond the blowing down of
some trees and fences, the advices from
the various small towns In this section do
not show any great destruction by the
cyclone.
The whole country, though, is absolute
ly water-soaked. The earth cannot absorb
a drop more of water, the roads are so
Doggy that it is impossible to use them,
the fields have been converted into mo-
raises and the little creeks have the width
of rivers if not their depth.
The swamps are fuller than they have
been In several years.
The cup of the cotton planter is run
ming over with bitterness, as he sees in
prospect low prices, the result of the
abundant yield elsewhere, with his own
crop cut short In quantity and largely
II is feared. ruined in quality. Other
crops are also suffering and the prospect
is that the year will turn out a bad one
for the planters whose farms have been
located within the rain belt.

WILL HE MOVE TO SAVANNAH.
A RumOr That Judge speer May
Leave Macon for This City.

RumOr That Judge speer May
Leave Macon for This City.
The talk of Judge Speers probable re-
moval to Savannah from Macon is being
revived. A Macon special to the Cousti-
tuition says:
The rumor grows persistent and, like
Banquo's ghost, 1t will not down, to the
effect that Judge Emory Speer, of the
United States Court of the Southern dis
trlct of Georgia is preparing to remove
from Macon to Savannah and make the
latter city his home in the future. Those in
position to know the whole truth of the
matter are reticent on the subject. and
nothing definite can be ascertained from
them. One gentleman, however, who ought
to know, says the rumor is exaggerated.
He states It may be true that Judge Speer
will spend all of the coming winter in Sa-
vannah except so much as may be neces-
sary to hold court in Macon and Augusta
and that Judge Speer does not intend to
sell his beautiful home, THE Cedars." in
Vineville, Macon's lovely suburb, but that
ne will reside at THE Cedars'' when he
comes to Macon to hold court.
There are many who believe that Judge
Speer is seriously considering the subject
of transferring his residence from Ma
con to Savannah. and certain Macon
friends of Judge Speer have been bringing
pressure to bear on him to persuade him to
remain In Macon. Judge Speer is now en-
route to some point among the great lakes
of the Northwest 10 escape from his an
nual attack of hay fever, and he cannot
be seen to ascertain his intention relative
to his future residence.

a large number Of schooners are bound
Tor this port from Northern ports, and the
rext week will be days OF anxiety for
those to whom they are consigned, as wen
as TO their owners and the relatives of the

OF such severity as that Of Tuesday night
could fail to add TO the long list of YES
seis tnat have never reached their ports
OF destination because of August gales.
The steamship Chattahoochee went to
sea Tuesday afternoon. There is no alarm
felt about her.
The revenue steamer Tybee was the first
poat In the morning to get out and see what
assistance could be rendered and what
was required. Lieut.. G. B.
Maher had the Tybee under way
before daybreak in the face
OF strong gale, and went up to where
the Dreamer lay. The bark was on
lee shore and it was impossible to get
to her Coming down the river the Ty
bee picked up the captain and crew of the
Alpha. Continuing the Tybee ran down
the river to a point below Fort Jackson
