by Fire and Water.

Fire companies Nos. /. and were
called out at Ii o'clock last night by fire
in NJ. Nathan's racket store, No. 224 Con-
gress street, and 223 st. Julian street. The
fire started up stairs on the St. Julian
street side from baskets and other in
fammable goods being hung too low from
the ceiling over a gas jet. The fire was
discovered soon after it started, and Mr..
Nathans and the employees of the store
almost flooded that part Of the store in
which the fire started. When the firemen
arrived 1t was almost extinguished. a lot
of the burning goods was thrown out of
a window. The damage is small and is

THE PARK's sPHINxEs.
Park and Tree Commission Did Not
Meet Yesterday.

Meet Yesterday.
The Park and Tree Commission did not
meet yesterday afternoon 10 consider the
letter of Mayor Myers in reference to the
removal of the park sphinxes. Chairman
Daffin was called out of the city, and
hence the postponement of the meeting
Mr.. Dafin is expected back to-day or to-
morrow, and the meeting Will probably
be held tomorrow Afternoon.
The probabilities are that the sphinxes
viii be restored to their former position
at the park entrance unless they have
been so badly damaged In the removal as
to make this out of the question. 1t seems
that the matter was never passed upon by
the commission, the change having been
decided upon by Chairman DafFin and
Park Commissioner Ellis without consult
ing their colleagues. The two gentlemen
doubtless thought the matter of so little
importance as hardly to make it worth
while 20 bring il to the attention of the
commission, TO say nothing of securing the
consent Of Council.
The public has taken a different view
OF the matter, however, and Mayor Myers
has held that the public is right. It
leaves the two commissioners in an awk-
ward position, but as their chief duty is
to please the public they will doubtless
see the matter in this light and acqui-
ese in the public demand as gracefully as
possible.

RAINY SUNDAY PREDICTED.
DOwnpour Began Last Night With
Prospect of Keeping Up.

Savannah had another day of threat
ening weather yesterday. and though no
rain fell until after Il o'clock last night,
the expectation of it's coming down mo-
mentarily deferred many pedestrians
from their usual visits to the shopping
district, and gave Bull street, for a Sat
urday afternoon, rather a deserted ap
pearance.
The mean Temperature for the day was
65 degrees, the maximum being Y, occur
ring at O'Clock p. m, and the minimum,
So, occurring at 1:20 a. m. The rainfall
for the preceding twenty-four hours up
to o'clock last night was "a of an inch.

tinued rain. Tomorrow, it IS predicted,
will be fair Increasing east winds may

TO DISCUSS CITY MATTERS.
Committee of the Whole VIII De
Called Together This Week.


Mayor Myers will probably call a meet
ing of the Committee of the Whole for
Wednesday night 1t is probable that the
reply Of the railroads interested in the
erection Of the union depot TO the city's
proposition will be received by that time
ana will be reported by the special com
mittee, having the matter in charge What
reply the railroads will make 70 the terms
offered by the city is not known.
1t is not unlikely that the Bay street
track question will be taken up and fin
ally disposed Of at this meeting. The very
strong protest against the granting Of a
franchise for a railroad track on Bay
street from the owners OF the office prop
erty on the street viii be considered, and
is expected to have considerable weight
IN determining the question.

WILL WRITE THE SENATORS.
VIII BE Urged to Vote for the Is
Per Cent Porto Rican Tariff.

VIII BE trgeA to vote Tor the ID
Per Cent Porto Rican Tariff.
No meeting of the rice association was
held yesterday for the purpose of taking
action in the matter of the Porto Rican
tariff bill. Col. ]. H. NJ. Clinch, presi-
dent of the association, discussed the mat
ter. however, with several of the leading
rice planters, and it was agreed that he
should write Senators Bacon and Clay,
informing them of the sentiments Of the
Georgia rice growers with regard to the
Porto Rican tariff matter, and requesting
them, if consistent with their views of
the question to support the bill provid-
ing for tariff of 10 percent. upon Por-
to Rican products
As Is well known, the rice planters, in
common with the sugar and tobacco grow
ing interests, are opposed to free trade
with Porto Rico, as they believe is would
be Injurious to their interests. The Geor-
gia senators, however, have taken
stand in favor of including Porto Rico
within the tariff boundary. and 1t is hard
ly to be expected that they wiz change
their position at this late date. However,
as the natives of Porto Rico are starving
while Congress disputes over the relation
of the island TO the rest of the country,
they would doubtless hail the passag e
of a Is per cent. tariff bill as a great con-
cession. At present they are compelled
to pay the big rates OF the Dingley tariff
upon all their exports TO this country
and as the markets of Spain are closed
against them, the condition of the island
is becoming deplorable.

PASSED THE MILLION NOTCH.
savannah's Cotton Receipts Several
Hundred Bales Ahead of That.

hundred Bales Ahead of That.
The local net receipts of cotton reached
the million-bale notch yesterday, with
several hundred bales to spare. AS the
season has over six months to run, clos
ing Sept. 1, the chances of Savannah's
total rolling up to a high figure are fav-
orable.
AS stated in the Morning News yester-
day, the fact the local receipts of cot
ton reached a million did not cause any
surprise. The local trade knew a million
were coming. The question with the
trade has been how nearly this seasons
receipts would approach last seasons.
The present outlook is that rapid gains
may be made in the receipts, as cotton
Is coming to Savannah which formerly
moved through other ports. Enterprisng
ship brokers have established themselves
here, ana have booked freight room for
shippers throughout the interior The re-
suit is a large increase in the shipments
of cotton. Offerings of ample freight
room has been the attraction in bringing
cotton TO this port for shipment

ON THE ARMY BILL,
The Philippine Question introduced
Into the Discussion

A"eo s"S Dtscussloh
In the House yesterday afternoon the
army appropriation bill was discussed
Mr.. Clayton On. W, who was captain in
the New York Volunteer Cavalry during
the Spanish war, submitted some remarks
IN favor of undermining and properly arm
ing Fort Hamilton at the entrance of New
York harbor
Mr.. Ridgely (Kan.) denounced the ten
dency toward militarism, charging that 1t
was menace to the peace and welfare of
the people. He charged that the demand
for a large standing army came from two
sources-from the officers who would be
benefited and from organized capital which
desired large standing army to protect
their property in time of discomfort.
What is there in this bill that increases
the army2" asked Mr.. Hull
within three years. replied Mr.. Ridgely
the standing army has been Increased
three-fold and its cost to the people four
fold''
Mr.. Cox cTenn) introduced the Philippine
question into the debate criticising the
policy of the administration in using tho
army to put down the insurrection there
and announcing that if he could have his
way not one dollar should be voted to SUBJ
jugate the Fflipinos. The soldiers serving
in the Philippines he acquitted of all blame
They We're doing their duty and deserved
Well of their country. The fault lay with
those who had inaugurated this unholy war.
Mr.. Cox predicted that not in the memory
of man now living would the army ever
get back to its old peace footing of 25OOO
When he came to Congress the appropria-
tons for the army We're s2OO0OV0o. Last
year they were $40. 10000
Mr.. briggs (N.Y.) favored a reorganIza-
ton of the army that would Increase the
artillery and cavalry branches of the SER
vice and decrease the infantry arm.
Mr.. Meyer QIa-) opposed the retention Of
the Philippines But If they were to be re-
tanned. he argued, the American products
should be protected against free competi-
ton from products of the islands. His re-
marks had not been completed when, at
$40 pm, the House adjourned

REGULATING HOURS OF LABOR.
Law Recently Put in Force I'm New
South Wales.

The colony of New South Wales has
adopted a law for the regulation of the
hours of labor of employees in Shops and
United States Consul Bell at Sydney has
submitted to the State Department a re-
port setting out the many complex features
of the law and commenting on its workings
In general terms the bill, which was drawn
to please the working classes, looks to the
establishment of a ten-hour day for en-
ployes and for half holiday each week.
Mr.. Bell says that the larger shop keepers
are quite satisfied with the law, for they
We're already in the habit of closing at g
o'clock five days in the week. and at l
o'clock on Saturdays. So that, instead of
the law materially benefiting the employees
of shops by giving them more hours of rest,
II restraints thousands of small shop keep
ers from making living. as the evening
has always been their harvest time. The
passage of the law has created no little dis
content. and its enforcement has caused no
little confusion.
