officials Expect to Close Negotiations
for the Union station.

The negotiations with the city for rights
and concessions desired by the railroad
for their union passenger station viii like
~ be brought 10 a close within a very few
days. An official interested in the early
contamination of the railroads plans said
yesterday that it is probable but very
few days win be needed to close up the
matters that are yet unsettled with the
city. When points that are yet undeter-
mined have been satisfactorily adjusted
the roads will proceed with their plans.
The official said he knows Of no other
reason to delay the union station project
AS soon as the arrangements with the
city have been made pans for the build
ing may he secured, the contract awardS1
and the work commenced. A number of
architects have already been at work up
on designs and plans, but IL has been with
the understa landing with the representatives,
Of the four railway companies that moth
ing definite has been decided upon as yet.
The railroads let il be known that they
would not pledge themselves in any way
until the desired agreement with the city
had been reached.
Considerably greater delay than was an
tcipated has been encountered by The rail-
roads. When the land for the depot was
secured it was thought the work on the
building would be almost competed by this
time. BY June ! the officials who engi-
neered the scheme for the station conf
IDENTIFY believed they would have trains

WANTS POLICY AN ISSUE.
Citizen Wants Some Candidate to
Declare Against Shops.

THE proper sort of campaign principle
was suggested by the Morning News to-
day." said gentleman yesterday, when
it mentioned the complaint grocerymen
and others have against the policy shops
About the only thing we have heard in the
way of principles thus far have been the
old slogan about the spoils belonging to
the victors, whether some gentleman Is or
is not interested in the vitrified brick that
are used in paving the city's streets, and
whether another gentleman really ever
promised that he would vote for Solicitor
General Osborne. The pubic should de-
mand that one Of the prospective candi-
dates for the solicitOrship declare himself
as opposed to the shops and their fragrant
and iniquitous violation of the law"
Many talked about policy shops during
the day. The talk with the groceryman
whose business has suffered seemed 10
have been widely read, and the general
opinion among the better people was that
there is an opportunity for a candidate
who would undertake to rid the city of the
pest of policy to get many votes of those
who do not care for politics ordinarily and
would support any man they believed
would break up the shops.

How Two Sailors Told Their story
to the Commissioners

That Savannah is a seaport town no one
is better aware than the United States
Commissioner, to whom It often falls to
adjust the differences between shipping
masters and seamen. An incident oc-
CURED yesterday before Commissioner
Lewis which brought this fact very fore
ably to mind
Two men, whose appearance indicated
that they We're both sailors and foreign
ers, strolied into the commissioners office.
They We're accompanied by a third who
Is probably a naturalized citizen. When
the commissioner invited his callers to sit
down neither paid any heed Then the
third man, who came along as an inter
prefer said something in German, and
one of the sailors sat down. The other
remained standing until his companion
spoke to him in some strange tongue,
when he also sat down.
1t developed that the sailors were a
German and Russian Finn, and that
neither could speak English The Ger
man and the Finn could understand each
other, as the German spoke either Rus
sian or Finnish as well as his own Ian
guage. When the men began to tell their
trouble the German told his story to Nhe
Interpreter in German and the interpreter
repeated ii to the commissioner in English
The Finn told his story to the German
companion, who told IL to the interpreter,
who then related it tc the commissioner.
The commissioner then learned that the
men had been employed on the American
bark James Wright, but had had some
trouble with the captain because they re-
fused to work on Easter Monday 1t
seemed that Easter Monday is either a ma
tonal or religious holiday with both the
Germans and the Firms, and both were
opposed to working on that day on prin-
ciple. As a result of this agreement the
captain agreed TO pay them their wages
and let them go. 1t seems that the men
were in touch with a sailor boarding house
runner who expected to place them on
another ship They failed TO make con-
necion with the other ship however and
the object Of their appeal TO the commits
sioner was to have him use his authority
to require their former captain 70 take
them back. This the commissioner decid-
ed he could not do, and the strangely as
sorted trio departed souNwhat cast down.

against the Southern hallway.
The local representatives of the South
ern Railway are looking out for a man
who has been reported as trying to preju-
dice the public against the line. City
Passenger Agent James Freeman says he
will have the man arrested for malicious
mischief if he can locate him.
Information was given Mr.. Freeman that
a man. supposed to represent the striking
telesraphers on the Southern, had visited
several of the leading stores and business
houses with the request that he be al
lowed to display placards asking that the
public withhold patronage from the South
ern. Those to whom he applied did not
grant the request.
Ii is believed the man is from Atlanta
At any rate he is not a Savanuahian. 1t
might be expected that the Southern would
take vigorous steps to prevent any such
assailment of its business interests.

Lord Salisbury's Speech at a Lon

London, June l9-Lord Salisbury was the
principal speaker at the bicentenary meet
Ing this afternoon of the Society for the
Propagation OF the Gospel. which took place
In this city. The Premier apoIogized for his
presence. because. he said. missionaries
were not popular at the Foreign Office.
Referring to China he said that. though
the persons slaughtered were Christians. IL
must not be imagined they were murdered
simply because the Chinese disiked their
religion. 1t was because the idea prevailed
there and elsewhere that missionary work
was merely an instrument by which secular
government achieved its objects. While
this was unjust. and though the mission
aries could not renounce their work. the
utmost caution ought to mark their ac-
uons. as overzealousness led to martyrdom
and caused the death Of soldiers and sailor,
sent to avenge the outrages.
