naval station matter as follows: There
is more jealousy between the South At

bellies of a cake walk. but Charleston has
the cake this time and the others need

1t is the understanding that the fee
Of ex-Mayor Hugh j. Grant of New York
for his services as receiver of the Third
Avenue Railroad corpora ion will not be
less than 100000 and may be more than
that amount. This is pretty consdera-
BILE fortune to be acquired for services
which did not begin until the last day of
February of the present year. Mr..
Grants fee, however, lis only the legal
one. The New York law allows a pay
ment of l per cent. on all moneys re-
ceived and l per cent. on all moneys paid
out in such receiverships, in addition to
which the receiver is allowed his expenses.
Nearly $24,Oo0,OOO has been received by Mr..
Grant from the underwriting syndicate
with which the debts of the Third Avenue
corporation are to be liquidated.

George ACfoc11er,s The special partner in
the firm of Price Mccormick & Co.,
which failed the other day, is not unknown
to the public. Not long ago he figured
prominently in the newspapers as having
won the biggest temperance prize on rec
ord, amounting to something over $4,000
900. His father Charles Croker Of San
Francisco, who, with Stanford and Hunt
ington, built the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, died in 1888, leaving an estate of
about 100000. When the will was read It
was seen that the son, George, could get
the fortune only upon the condition that
he should remain sober for five years.
On Sept. l, 1891, young Croker started in
to work for the prize, and on Sept. /,
1896 the trustees agreed that his record
had been spotless and turned the estate
over to him. During the five years of pro-
baton. Mr.. Croker spent most of the time
on ranch in Utah, where strong drink
could not possibly be had!

There are two very important points in
favor of Savannah as compared with
Charleston in the matter OF the location
of dry dock and navy yard which have
not been discussed at all by the newspa-
pers of the latter city. but which should
not be overlooked when the subject Is fully
considered. One is that a savannah -FOUR
great railroad systems. the Central OF
Georgia, the Southern, the Plant and the
Seaboard, could be focused directly upon
the dock. One Of the objections urged
against Port Royal by those favoring the
removal is the lack of adequate transpor-
tation facilities. Savannah unquestionably
has the best transportation facilities
in the South Atlantic section. The
other point is that a great navy
yard needs an abundance of fresh water
Lack of a satisfactory water supply has
.been named as one of the points against
Port Royal Savannah has a supply of
pure sparkling artesian water affording
a surplus OF millions Of gallons a day.
Only short time back it was found suffi-
Gent for an army corps, two batteries of
artillery and several thousand horses and
mules of the army, without limiting the
amount used by the citizens In Charles
ton, according to the statement of a ply
stefan of that city not long ago, there Is
difficulty in securing fresh water enough
TO take a bath IN after certain hours of
the evening"; Notwithstanding that the
Charleston water is good only for bathing
purposes and putting out fires. These
matters may not appear to be of much
concern to our Charleston neighbors. They
will doubtless commend themselves to the
naval authorities and other representatives
of the government.

PARLIAMENT DISMISSED
IN A BRIEF MESSAGE.
Debate ON the Closing Day was sem
saffonal and Much Feeling
WINS shown.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Pariament was dis
missed until the middle of February with
the reading bf the shortest of the queen
speeches. II was as foIlows
my Lords and Gentlemen: l thank
you for the liberal provision you have
made for the expenses incurred by the
operations of my armies in South Africa
and China"
The proceedings today in the house of
commons were a repetition in miniature
OF the debates of the brief session. The
ministers were heckied, the war was yir-
ulentIy denounced and Mr. Chamberlain
was further attacked The war funds
were finally voted, after the secretary OF
state for war. Mr.. Brodrick had given
assurance that the government. during
the recess, would cordially cooperate
with Gen. Kitchener to end the war.
Particularly singing were the remarks
OF John Bryn-Roberts Liberal member
for the South Elton division of Carnar-
vonshire. He declared that the British
treatment of the women of South Africa
was an outrage on civilization, and that
It was blaspheny to hold Christian serv-
ices In st. Paufs In connection with the
return OF Lord Roberts while there were
such proceedings In South Africa
Mr.. Brodrlck holly denounced Mr..
Bryn-Roberts' charges. asserting that II
was criminal to make allegations which
could not be proved, but which, however.
would be teiegraphed to South Africa to
increase the discomfort existing there. He
held up MIR. Bryn- Roberts to the censure
and Reproduction Of nearly every member
OF the house of commons. These remarks
were greeted with cheers.
Mr.. Brodrick then repeated that the
government did not desire to pursue pol
icy which would make II more difficult
for the Beers to cease fighting, and that
the government abided in the declarations
of Mr.. Chamberlain.
The, session was suspended until 2
o'clock In the afternoon when both
houses met ana were prorogued.
