Special Water Committee Held Meeting and Con
 sidered Company's Proposals.

A meeting of the special water commit tee of the city council was held at the city hall at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Aldermen Meighan, Drennen, Mcknight, Ashford, Hentschel and Kerr were pres ent. g
 A schedule of rates prepared by MT. Lon- don, of the water company, was considered and found to be unsatisfactory. While the rates submitted by MT. London were con- siderably lower than those now in vogue, the committee did not think them as low as they should be.
 Another meeting will be held Tuesday evening at 7:3O and MT. London will be asked to appear before the committee and give reasons why further cut in rates would not be just.

Thirty Italians passed through Birming- ham Tuesday night on their way from Sunnyside, Arkansas, back to old Italy. The dagoes didn't like Sunnyside.

LESTER AND THE PHILIPPINES.

Congress May Refuse to Appropriate
the $2O,OOO,0OO Required, He Says.
Hon. Rufus E. Lester will leave to-day
at noon for Washington to be present at
the opening of the December session of
the Fifty-fifth Congress Monday. His
secretary, Mr.. w. W. Sheppard, win fol-
low him tonight. AS is well known, Col.
Lester is a pronounced anti-expansionst
and 1t is hardly necessary to state that he
will be found arrayed on the side of those
who are opposed 10 the adminktration' 5
policy in this matter.
What do you think of the Philippine
deal?'' he was asked yesterday.
THE deal isn't complete yet" he re-
piled.
why not; hasn't Spain agreed to give
them up?"
'tshe has agreed to give them up for
$780, ,000" he replied, but the money
hasn't been paid yet. The money cannot
be paid until Congress makes the appro-
priation."
DO you think there will be any hitch
about that?"
There most certainly will be- he re-
piled. There will be strong opposition in
Congress to the payment of this amount or
any other amount for the Philippines. For
my part 1 had rather give Spain $5O,O000 00
to keep the islands than to have them at
any price
Col Lester said that Congress would
probably proceed to provide a territorial
government for Porto Rico. AS to Cuba
it will probably proceed more slowly.
1--WE started OUT he said, with the
idea of freeing Cuba from Spain and then
Withdrawing, allowing the Cuban people
to form their own government. There
seems to be considerable doubt, however,
of the ability of the Cubans 20 form their
own government. The United States will
proceed with the military occupation of
the island and allow the question of gov
eminent to be determined by future devel-
onrnents perhaps"

Annual Meeting Of the NeedIeworIS
Guild mt ST. Johns Parish Hall.
The ladies of the Savannah branch of
the Needlework Guild of America held
their annual meeting yesterday at St.
Johns Parish hall. There were about
forty members of this interesting charita-
bic organization in attendance.
The garments collected were counted,
and 1t was found that there were just
1,252, a number somewhat smaller than
that received last year. which is accounted
for by the fact that the guild has had a
good deal of work to do in this direction
during the year for the soldiers A large
number of garments have been sent TO
soldiers by the ladies of this organization,
and if these were included the number
would be fully up to If not beyond the
amount received last year, There were
fifteen churches represented al the meet
ing, and the garments were divided among
these TO be distributed to the poor through
the charitable societies connected with
them.
The following officers were elected to
serve for the ensuing year;
Honorary President-Mrs. A. NJ. West
President-Mrs. David Wells.
Vice President-Mrs. Max Wolff
Secretary-Miss Jennie Willnk.
Treasurer-Miss T. Prendergast.
| The society has done an excellent work,
and many poor people will be benefited
as the result of the collection of these gar
nents.

GEoRGIANs CHANCE TO RE-ENLrsT

Thfrty-First Michigan VIII BE Glad
to Have Col. Lawfon's Men.
Any ex-members of The First Georgia
Regiment who desire to do so may re-
enlist in the army, going with their old
friends, the men of the Thirty-first Mich
igan. Col. A. R. Lawton of the First is
in receipt of letter from Col. Cornelius
Gardener of the Michigan Regiment that
assures him that any men from the First
desiring to join will be gladly received.
Col. Gardener states that his command is
under orders for Cuba. and win leave
probably within ten days. If any men
should decide to join the regiment they
would have to go to Knoxville, where it
now is. Col Gardener has been accorded
permission TO enlist men who have served
in other volunteer regiments.
The First Georgia and the Thirty first
Michigan We're such great friends at
Chickamauga and Knoxville that the dem
constructions they were always making be
| gan to grow ludicrous. Not night would
pass that there was not something that
would serve 10 show the good fellowship
| that existed. If 1t was. not a serenade it
was some other kind of entertainment and
many a social frolic was enjoyed by the
members of the two regiments.
1t is said there was never but one fight
between members of the two commands.
| This was to settle the unsettled question
as to which regiment loved the other the
better. Recourse had to be had to strong
er arguments than words to decide this
point.
| Col. Lawton will have the members of
| the old First advised of the opportunity
that has been given them to re-enlist. 1t
| is not improbable that some of them will
| decide to go to Cuba with their Michigan
friends. The news that they may do so
| will be published wherever the companies
| of the First hailed from.

A GREAT DAY ron TRANSPORTS.
The Chester Went Out Drawing "a
Feet, o Inches.

Yesterday was a day of transports on the
river The Chester and Manitoba went to
sea in quick succession. the former with
the Fifteenth Infantry for Nuevitas and
the latter the Fourth Tennessee for Glen

out the slightest hitch.
The Chester passed over the bar at Il
o'clock. two hours after high water, draw
ing "A feet, 9 inches. She left the blight at
10 o'clock and went down the river with
out the slightest trouble. Il is also worth
noting that the tide was eight inches less
yesterday morning by the United States
tide tables than on Monday morning, when
the Chester first undertook to 90 down the
river, and in addition the westerly winds
had driven the water out of the river.
The fact that che Chester passed out
with ease under these conditions is ample
evidence of the capacity of the river chan
mel for vessels of this draft. The Manitoba

OFFICERS MAY HOLD OVER.
Council Not Likely to Hold Elections
Until Next Month.


Until Next Month.
The bills repeating the police, fire and
water commissions have passed the Senate
and will doubtless receive the Governor s
signature before the end of the week. The
bills are effective Immediately. AS the bill
giving Council the right to create com
missions of its own. should it see fit to
do so. has not yet become a law, the ques-
ton of creating such commissions will not
come up at once, and the departments
named will necessarily come under the
direct control of Council.
Several opinions have been hazarded as
to what Council is likely to do in the mat
ter, but the one having most weight is
that Council will take no action toward
the election of city officers until the regu-
lar election at the first meeting in Janu-
airy. As the present city officials hold
Office until their successors are elected,
they can very readily hold over until that
time.
Another supposition is that Council viii
simply re-elect the present incumbent5 to
retain their positions until the regular
election next month and thus avoid show
ing its hand Still others hold that Coun-
Gil will proceed to elect at its earliest op-
portunity, and that those officers who are
not in favor with the administration will
be dropped at once and new men put in
their places
An anti-adminlstration man in speaking
of the matter yesterday said: Council
will get in its work at the first opportuni-
ty. Supt. Lotion viii be succeeded by
7. j. O'Brien as the head of the water
department. Haines will defeat McDermott
for chief of police. Council is now looking
about for a man to succeed Mcguire as
the head of the fire department but has
not succeeded in finding one yet. Wnlink
has probably made himself solid with the
administration but wouldn't bank on his
chances"
A city official who expects TO go by the
board. said to a Morning News reporter
Yesterday: What difference does 1t make.
When we lose our jobs we will all get
together and beat this crowd at the next
election. The creation of the commissions
was the biggest mistake the Citizens Club
ever made from a political standpoint
The fellows who were under commissions
felt sure Of their jobs and so there was
not the same incentive to get out and
hustle for the party. There is nothing like

STREETS THEY WANT TO USE.
Proposed Route in the City of the
Suburban and West End.


Suburban and West End.
The projectors of the extension of the
Suburban and West End Railroad within
the city limits seem confident that the
City Council will grant their request for
the use of certain streets and that there
will be no opposition offered by the prop
erty owners on the thoroughfares 1t Is de-
sired to use.
Al present it IS the desire TO secure the
privilege of operating the road on Bar
nard street from the market to Jones
street, Jones street from Barnard TO Price
or East Broad, and out one of those streets
to the city limits. This would be a dis
lance, il is estimated of somewhat less
than two miles and would give the road
three mites within the city limits and one
mile outside of the limits to the west.
Later il Is proposed to extend the line
across to the western side of the city
on some street in the extreme southern
section, giving an excellent service to resi-
dents ia a large portion of the city.
1t is noe Thought that there win be seri-
GUS opposition from any source. 1t is be-
lieved that the people of Savannah are de-
sirous OF having another street car line
here and that they will gladly welcome
the new line In the city. No further ef-
forts will be made to get power from the
existing street car dine. 1t is not said
where the power to operate the proposed
line is TO come from, but it Is thought
that the new light and power company
