VIII Put the Members of Council ON
Record as to Their Loyalty TO the
Principles of the Liberal CIub-He
Points Out Some of the Issues OF
the Present Campaign.
Savannah, Ga, Jan. S.-Editor Morning
News: The article In the Morning
News of this date has the appearance of
placing me in the attitude of aspirine, 10
several positions to be filed by the present
Council. To say the least must be given
credit for being a man of varied ability.
l have never given these positions a
thought until every recently. l have been
pressed by prominent leaders on the LIB
eral Club side. who feel very sore to think
that the very principles for which the
club was organized, and waged such a very
successful campaign, are now to be over
thrown. and that this Council, elected by
the Liberal Club, and the embodiment OF
its principles, should shatter every hope.
Men may change, but principles never
change, and l am as strong in my convic-
tons that the principles we fought for.
two years ago. remain as pure as ever to
restore to the city of Savannah full con-
troll of her municipal affairs. 1 am as
strong a Liberalite now as was then.
The question now is. whether you will
throw down the men who have been work
ing for principle for the last four years?
or those who gave up their time and
means to defeat you? The work in the
legislature by Messrs. Meldrim. Duncan
and McDonough was baked at every turn
Of the senator from the First district.
When at the last county election we elect
ed Messrs. McDonough. Mcmillan and La
Roche, with Senator Grovenstein, they
could not save themselves any longer, and
the commissions were abolished. Now when
we are complete masters of the situation,
shall we go over to the enemy, and throw
down those who fought for our success,
and return our charges back to the peo-
pie robbed of the fruits of victory?
These are the burning issues, and must
light our pathway 10 future victory. The
candidate selected by the anti-administra-
tionists Will not announce his acceptance,
or declination, until after the election of
city officers, Why? Because it may be
detrimental to the heads of some of the
departments they expect to have in line
1t strikes me that some one is very much
interested I'm trying to prove that / cannot
oppose the present superintendent of pub
lie works, even should l desire to do So
| will try il. IL they are so anxious, and I
don't care If / get but one vote. As the
exponent of the principles of our club
wall have the satisfaction of knowing that
every man upon the board of aldermen
will have an opportunity of placing him
self n rapOrd hafnra
that is the principle thing desired.

ELECTRIC FIRE ENGINES.
A Plan Under Consideration in Kan
sns City.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Jacque Morgan, city electrician, would
help Kansas City in her need of more fire
engines and engine horses. He proposes
that the city build electric fire engines for
its use. These, Mr.. Morgan says, would
cost but one-third the price of steamers
would weigh about one-third or one-fourth
as much and would furnish nearly twice
the power.
All these advantages, If the idea proved
practical would enable the city to have
more engines, because of their cheap ness.
and to do away with the need for three
horse bitches, because of their lightness.
Chief Hale, Supt. Longwell and others
Interested in the fire engine problem de-
lighted with Morgans plan, and hope
test will prove 1t useful. Conway Holmes
of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company, has offered a motor for use at
the test. f. r. Weeks, general mana
ger of the Kansas City Electric Light
Company, has proffered free electricity,
and the fire department has good rotary
pump to which the power can be applied
by motor.
The electrician proposes these engines
for use In the down town districts only.
The eight steam engines on hand are
the residence portion. But it is at the big
fires in business houses that many steams
are needed The power must be taken
from the electric wires with which the
business districts are well supplied Troll
ley wires and the 500 volt service lines
which thread every alley down town. Mr.
Morgan says, would make 1t possible to
fight fire at almost any point in the
business section with electric fire engines
Of he al I. -
trio lines will give even greater resources.
Meters upon the motors would register
the amount of electricity taken from any
wire, and for this the city would pay at
contract price. Mr.. Weeks has stated his
company will furnish power at a very low
figure to the city for It's engines If the
scheme succeeds.
Mr. Morgan does not claim the idea OF
electric fire engines as his own. Indeed.
one using this power was patented several
years ago On this account Chief Hale
fears trouble may result from trying the
scheme, and the test may be made till
Washington Is heard from, where Morgan
has written TO find out what the patent
covers. The electrician says he cannot see
how simply combining a common motor
and a COMMON engine pump on common
fire engine is a patentable idea.
Mr. Morgan's belief is that practical use
can be made Of the idea advanced in cleo
trical magazines and elsewhere. A de-
sire to help the city 20 the greatly needed
engines has caused him 10 propose demon
strating the utility of electric engines. He
homes to construct an engine at from 81 900
20 81 500 that will weigh from 1900 to $500
pounds and that will throw four streams
al once. The steam engines the city uses
cost $751; 800 each, weighs 400 pounds and
throw two streams.
No other city uses electric fire engines
and should this town be the first to con-
struct and operate them successfully, IL
would, indeed, be a feather for it's cap.

COTTON PRODUCERS CONVENTION.
VIII Meet at New Orleans to Con-
slider the Situation.

New Orleans, Jan. S.-The low price of
cotton has aroused The producer, and the
agitation of the question of production of
cotton has crystaliized into a sentiment
that all interests affected by the low price
of the staple be represented in a cotton
congress to be held here.
Urgent letters from leading cotton pro-
ducers in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas have been received here by
persons interested, and the necessity of a
convention is urged.
Mayor Flower of this city has Joined in
the movement, and has issued the neces-
sary call The Congress will assemble
here on Feb 16, Immediately after the
carnival festivities, when low transporta-
ton rates will lend an added attraction
to the planter, giuner, compress owners,
transportation companies, and all other
lines intimately affected by a change of
conditions
Whether reduction of acreage or a move
ment in favor of diversification on a large
scale will be inaugurated are interesting
probabilities.
Tomorrow Mayor Flower will select a
representative committee of cotton men
to make the necessary arrangements and
issue the invitations for the convention.

ANGLICAN TOWS IN THE HESTIA.
Had Encountered Terrific Weather
and Was Disabled.

St Johns, N. F., Jan. S.-The British
steamer Anglican, sixteen days out from
London for Boston, arrived here to-day
towing the British steamer Hestia, TWEEN
ty-four days out from Glasgow, in ballast
for Baltimore.
The Hestia encountered terrific weather
crossing the Atlantic, and on Sunday last,
her tail shaft broke. Shortly afterward
the Anglican came alongside, stood by her
for three days and nights, and then took
her in tow, reaching this port after four
days. The Hestia was constantly swept
by heavy seas, and her upper works were
almost battered to pieces.
When the steamers anchored in the har-
Dor to-day a severe gale was blowing
The Hestia drifted ashore on the south
side of the harbor, striking stern on, In
which position she still lies.
The Anglican endeavored to tow her on,
but she also struck, though after hard
efforts she got off.
The gale is still raging, accompanied by
a binding snow storm. 1t is feared ship
ping in the harbor may suffer severely
during the night.
