Mayor Myers has done good service for
the deeper harbor project at this port
by collecting ana publishing In pamphlet
form facts which show the vast beneat
which deeper water In the hafoor
would be 10 savannah and her commerce.
The facts are gathered from business men
Of the city aud from the officers q rail-
roads which have their seaboard terminals
here.
The harbor. az mean high water. ie sup
posed now 20 have channel Of twenty
six feet. bu; s. is only when there e an
extremely high tide that the channel,
from the city 20 the sea. has that depth.
The proPositlon Is 20 deepen the channel
TO twenty-plght feet. The commerce Of
Savannah is steadily increasing. y has
been increasing ever since work on the
harbor began The exports are nearly
twice what they were twenty years ago,
ana the coastwise commerce must have
increased fully as much. IL IL a fact that
tae number % barrels Of naval stores Is
more than four times as great as Il was
In 1880 the increase IA lumber has been
more than three fold ana the receipts OF
cotton are a third greater.
il is agreed by business men and rail-
road officials that the commerce of the
port Is certain 10 grow eteadily. Naval
stores men say that there - very little
probability Of any falling of IN the re-
ceip,s In turpentine and rosin for a num-
Der OF years. and tina, as the products OF

Will take the place OF the forests wal In
crease. Cotton merchants look for
steady increase IN cotton receipts. II Is
psnted out that those coal and IRON IN.
dustries % which this port Is the sea.
board outlet are IN their infancy. Inc
railroad officials say that with deeper
water grain shipments would come this
way. and St is certain that the phosphate
rock and kaolln OF Florida would be ship
ped by way OF Savannah Ia much larger
quantities.
II is only question Of a very few years
when there wiz be an isthmlan canal
Then Savannaa's commercial Importance
win be greatly increased. The Far East
viii want the products OF Georgla's cot
s1A AlAAta aho Alabama steel pNNtt. II
win want many other things which the
South Will have. and large share OF
them Il will get By way OF Savannah. And
the South will want much from the Far
East. Much as Savannah needs twenty
eight feet OF water in her channel now. shs
viA want Il much more then.
When the twenty-six-foot project was
undertaken Il was with the understanding
that eventually the harbor would be deep
ened to twenty-eight feet Indeed. the
plans were drawn with the View TO a

therefore for an appropriation for deeper
water savannah is only asking for what
u was originally intended she should
have.
An appropriation for an additional depth
OF water can be obtained. There Is no
good reason 20 doubt that. II will take
work Of the right kind. however. But
IL we are not mistaken the business men
OF the city are ready aud willing 10 do all

THE GUAM cONvrNrIoN.

The cuban Constitutional Convention Is
now in the Attn week Of It's existence.
AZ yet IL has done nothing but talk and
qulbble over unlmportant matters. There
Is no telling how much more time viii
he required before substantial progress is
made and 20 what length the convention
will be extended. The members OF II are
receiving 500 per month with allowances
for expenses There does not appear 70
be any disposition 10 expedite matters on
tho part % the delegates.
I, IS asserted ~ Albert @. Robinson. a
Correspondent OF the New York Evening
Post ia Havana. that the membership Of
the convention is altogether non-represen-
tative Of the Islands best interests. Il
represents only certain minority element.
Many Leading Cubans were asked what
proportion Of the native intelligence and
property interests were represented. The
replies ranged from barely nominal TO
z per cent" the latter being the highest
estimate given. This allegation being
true. Il Is not surprising that the sessions
OF the convention arouse no enthusiasm
among the people. Il Is stated az fact
that the intelligent, educated and proper
ty-owuing residents OF the island look
upon the convention with a considerable
degree Of apprehension.
II Is pointed out that the element which
Is Ia control OF the convention is
practically the counterpart of that headed
10y Aguinaldo and his lieutenants in the
Phlippines-the insurrecto element: the
natives who despise all foreigners and
wish 10 drive them into the sea. In Cuba
this party Is treated with the most dis
tlnguished consideration. while in the
Philippines It Is put TO the sword. II Is
true that the United States government
has a string tied TO the conclusions OF the
Cuban convention. This government holds
and purposes 10 exercise the powers Of
court OF final determination upon the con-
ventions actions. That Is IN measure
safeguard 70 the interests OF the island.
At the same time u Is source OF danger.
Should the United States endeavor 90
modify the fundamental law adopted by
the convention. the revolutionary leaders
who ore now members of that body might
be expected 20 make trouble. claiming
that the intervening government had not
kept In good faith It's promise TO give
the Cubans a government OF their own
and Of their own making. The correspond
ent says that the United States have made
enemies OF the better elements OF the
island b. placing in control OF insular ar
fairs an element IN which they have no
confidence; meanwhile we have not made
friends OF the insurrecto class. II these
latter could do 50 they would Immediately
order US to get out. bag and baggage,
since our presence interferes with their
plans. This Is a rather pesstmisuc view
10 take OF the matter. Time alone will
show II the correspondent is risht.
