The magnitude of military operations
involved in a war with the Transvaal
is shown by an inspection of the routes
which the English army of invasion
might take. The most obvious way is
from Durham in Natal to Pretoria, the
Boer capital, a distance of $40 miles,
practically all rail. but requiring con-
slant protection. There are four other
routes, varying in length from 349
miles to 1040. The shortest is from Del
agoa bay, in which case an alliance
with Portugal would be necessary and
perhaps might be secured. The longest
is from Cape Town to Pretoria via the
Orange Free State, which might be
entered in if this other Boer republic
should join Paul Kruger. Whichever
route be selected, a good-sized army
would be required merely to keep open
communications.

CHINESE GARDENERS SUCCESS.
An Koy Reaping a Harvest in Guilt
waiting Small Vegetables.

There is a Chinaman out on the Waters
road who has turned pretty penny in the
market gardening business this year. When
the crops OF other growers had been killed
by the February blizzard the Celestial
gardener continued TO supply the local
market with the freshest of lettuce spin
ach and small vegetables; when later in
the season the crops of others suffered
another setback his were uninjured and
his wagons, laden with produce, continued
to ply between the city and this model
farm.
The Chinaman's name Is All Koy He
came to Savannah from North Carolina a
couple of years ago, rented for himself
few acres of land, planted a modest crop
of the vegetables that he thought suitable
for sale in the local market and worked in
his fields diligently, early and late The
results have been a tribute to Celestial
push enterprise and patience that is sur
prising to all who have visited the place
All Koy has applied here the same prin-
ciples of intensive gardening that prevail
in the Flowery Kingdom, where there is
such congestion of popula ton and land
is so high that single individual can only
hope to own or plant very small acre
age.
To protect his plants from the frosts and
cold of winter, All Koy used a canvas
covering, that answered at very much
less expense every purpose to which glass
hot beds can be put. He employed his
eountrymen as laborers, and the little
place has been cultivated with the care
thrift and attention to minute detail which
seem naturally to betoken the Oriental
mind and character. In the distance his
canvas-covered fields present TO the cas-
ual glance the appearance of the camping
ground of a Liliputian army, while a
closer inspection reveals the patent evil
dences Of careful and successful husband
ry.
During a large part of the present sea-
son the market here was supplied with
lettuce almost exclusively from All Koy's
garden, and he has continued to supply
this and other vegetables up TO the present
time, He plants principally those vegeta-
bles that are in demand in the local mar
ket. those of the lighter sort that serve
as relshes and as the basis of salads but
other and more staple varieties are also
In evidence at All koy's farm. He Is
prosperous and contented farmer and the
story of his success in new fields and UNI
der adverse conditions is telling argu-
ment in favor of agriculture in the South
and a living rebuke 10 those respondent
ones among the tillers of the soil in this
state who lift up their voices In contin-
ual aud piercing lamentation, regarding
their own lack of success and the general
and complete degeneracy of farming and
the farming class.

WANT CLOSER COMMUNICATION
Residents of Isle of Hope and White
Blum Ask for New Roads.


The residents Of Isle Of Hope and White
Buff want more convenient communica-
ton with the city. Communications were
received by the County Commissioners
yesterday afternoon from residents Of both
hamlets on this subject.
A communication was received from Mr.
W. NJ. Davidson Offering the county
roadway thirty feet in width from the
White Bluff road across the north side
of the tract OF land owned by him, ex-
tending from the road to Dancy avenue at
White Bluff. The only condition was that
the county should accept and grade this
road and further that no rlght-of-way over
1t should be granted to any railway.
A petition from the residents of Vernon
burg, the corporate name of White Bluff,
was received, urging that the offer made
by Mr., Davidson be accepted on the
ground that the present route from the
shell road to White Bluff is circuitous and
lnconvenient as well as in poor condition.
Inc matter was referred to the committee
on ROADS and bridges for consideration.
Inc road committee reported favorably
upon the petition of residents and prop
erfy owners of White Bluff for a new road
from the four-mile post on the Skidaway
shell road to Is.e of Hope, the right-of-
way having been secured for the entire
distance with the exception of a small
section near Isle of Hope, which it is ex-
pected TO secure later. The road will run
by way of the Old military causeway and
by Cattle Park and Bonabella.
Messrs. j. K. p Carr, II. L. Ferrin and
j. j. McGowan were allowed SIS each for
their services in making up the tax de-
11HltarSf ltct
basis of IL cents each for 5000 names
DE- j. G. farrell presented a bill for $500
Tor services in attending upon seven small
pox patients who were sent to the pest
house from the county. The clerk was
instructed to return the bill to Dr. farrell
with the request that he submit an item
lied statement
Llzzle Washington, coored. presented a
claim against the county for $780, 500 being
Tor land taken in the construction of the
Buckhalter canal and 500 for wood used
from her land by the chain-gang white at
work on the canal. Payment was refused
on account of lack of sufficient informa-
ton. IL was stated that the ten acres of
lahd owned by Lizzie Washington are re-
turned Tor taxation at only $780, whereas
she demands $500 for the small portion of
ABOUT an acre taken in the construction
of the canal
communication was received from
Diedrlch Grimm, claiming that the coun-
TVS contract made with him for right of
way through his lands for the new Casey
canal had never been carried out. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Grimm, the county agreed
to build a bridge across the canal al his
place and to construct a roadway along
one side of the canal. The contract. /,
seems, was drawn up, but never signed
and the paper has disappeared.
1t was decided to sell the lands sold for
taxes and bought in by the county, for
which purpose the chairman was directed
to secure the services of an auctioneer
Bills against the county amounting to
$50, 0S9S were passed for payment.

LACKS SOME PROVISIONS.
An Ordinance That Must Go Through
the MIL Again.


The ordinance passed at the last meet
ing of Council, requiring that the side
walks on Bull street, from Bay to Cas-
ton streets, be paved to the outer curbing,
lacks several essential requirements. IL
is silent as to the time within which the
work shall be done, and nothing is said
about who shall do it in the event the
property owner fails 10 comply with the
law. The body of the ordinance is as fol-
lows:
Section 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor
and aldermen of the city of Savannah, IN
Council assembled, That on Bull street, in
the city of Savannah, from Bay to CASTOR
streets, and each side thereof, the side
walks shall be paved TO the outer curbinS
and shall cover the spaces now taken up
by grass plats, except in the cases of the
.ots fronting squares, commonly known as
trust lots.
The material to be used for sidewalks
on this street shall be subject to the in
spection and approval of the committee on
streets and lanes.
Sec 2. Be it further ordained That all
ordinances and parts of ordinances in con-
f1ict with this ordinance are hereby re-
pealed.
1t is not known whether the defect has
been detected by Alderman Dixon, by
whom the ordinance was introduced, but
the chances are it will be cured by an
amendment at the next meeting. AS the
ordinance stands, it is stated 1t cannot be
enforced, as there is nothing to indicate
when or by whom the work shall be done
in case property owners fail to comply.

FOURTH TENNESSEE IN CAMP.
Regiment Came Up From DaufuslSie
ON River steamers.

The Fourth Tennessee Regiment came
up from camp of detention at Daufuske
yesterday afternoon and last night. The
command was the first of those that have
been detained on the island for five days
to arrive, but the terms of detention Of
the others there expire within four or five
days
Five companies Of the Fourth came up
at o'clock on the river steamer Murchl-
son. four came at 7:45 on the Pope CatlIn
and the remaining three companies and
the band arrived at O'Clock on the San
tee. The landing was made at the Gordon
wharf. where army wagons were waiting
to transport the heavy and personal bag
gage of the troops TO the camp formerly
occupied by the Second Louisiana RegI-
ment when the Seventh Army Corps was
encamped at Savannah. The men had to
march TO camp.
The heavy baggage of the command was
awaiting 1t at the wharf. Il had all I'M
dergone distinction at the quarantine sta
ton and been brought up and stored I'M
der guard for the Tennesseeans. Before
the arrival of the first detachment there
were l3S army wagons waiting at the
wharf for the troops, and the transported
ton OF baggage was effected quickly ana
without disorder. The men were able to
establish themselves comfortably in camp
having their heavy baggage along, and
they suffered no Inconvenience in getting
in shipshapc last night
The Fourth Tennessee has had a hard
time of 1t since leaving Cuba. It was
eight days on the Dixie and beat around
from one place to another trying to land
Finally il was put off and disinfected and
established in camp of detention for five
days. Col. Beliinger, depot quartermas-
ter. says the officers and men had a
right to complain If any of the troops
that have returned from Cuba had, bu,
they did not do it, but devoted their time
to aiding in the quarantine work and helm
ing it along in every possible way. 70,
this officers and men of the regiment are
highly commended by all who had any,
thing TO do with the disinfecting or deten-
ton of the regiment.

THIRD TAKEN TO DAUFUsIxIE.
NehrasIlans Now Established in the
Camp of Detention,

The medical officers at quarantine have
things down fine now. and The way they
can put the regiments through the disin-
fecting process is 10 be admired. The
force of assistants has been so well or
sanized and has grown SO familiar with
its business that 1t can handle the baggage
of the troops and submit it to the steam
in the most approved style. A regiment
day is easily handled, and when the force
is pushed it can pass more than 1,6O0 men,
as was demonstrated the day the Sixth
Missouri and six companies of the Forty
ninth Iowa were handled.
All of the Third Nebraska Regiment
which arrived day before yesterday on the
transport Logan, was passed through the
quarantine station yesterday. and estab-
lished before nightfall in the detention
camp on Daufuskie. To-day there will be
no disinfecting of personal baggage of
troops for the first time I'm several days,
but there are staeks-of regimental baggage
awaiting the attention of the quarantine
force, and all hands will devote themselves
to cleaning that up and getting it up to
the Gordon wharf where it will await the
arrival of it's owners.

DRAINAGE CONNECTIONS DIFFICULT
Conduits Said to Intervene Sewers
md Drnin Pipes.

It is feared that property owners will
have considerable trouble in making con-
nectlons with the house drainage system
in some of the lares, which is probably
due in measure TO the lack of system the
city had IN regulating the laying of pipes
and conduits.
Mr.. Percy Sugden has noticed some
places where 1t will be impossible for con-
nection TO be made at the rear Of stores
with the drainge pipes on account Of in
terVeuing coudults. It Is stated the drains
from the stores cannot be run above the

"A GUARD OVER THE DIXIE.
Vessel Has Been Fumigated, But
Crew Is Kept on Board.

The transport Dixie arrived yesterday
afternoon from sapelo. where she was
fumigated at the government quarantine
station. Surgeon Clark gave the vessel
pradque, and the captain thought it en-
titled him to come up to the city and have
shore leave for himself and men. Sur
geon Clark expected the surgeon in charge
here to look out for things at this end,
and he did so. He directed that a guard
be established over the vessel to prevent
any of the crew from leaving her.
For the crew of the Dixie TO leave
the vessel they would have to go into de-
tention for the required time, so. unless
1t is otherwise ordered, all hands will re-
main aboard until the ship can be coaled
and stocked with provisions for a run 10
Cuba. The Dixie has a clean bill a.

the Dead Mans Former Home.
The funeral services of the late William
C. Workman took place from the resi-
dence, No ia Price street, at 430 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The services were
conducted by Rev. Bascom Anthony, pas
tor of Trinity Methodist Church, and
were attended by the Confederate Vet
Grams Association, the members of the
Savannah Cadets and many friends of the
family.
The Cadets were not in uniform and did
not parade, as the determination to bury
the body at Camden, S. c., the old home
of Mr.. Workman and his family, made a
military funeral impossible
The body was sent to Camden on the
Florida Central and Penlnsular train az
l O'Clock this morning, after having been
escorted to the depot by details from ths
veterans and the Cadets. 1t will be in.
