The bar Of ]. Christopher. at Broughton

arrested later in the day and will be given
hearing this morning before the Recor-
der.
Henderson is a coachman in the employ
of Hon. Pope Barrow. The circumstances
that led to his arrest, as being implicat-
ed In the robbery, are that on Saturday

HAVE BOATS AND A BUOY.
safeguards for Bathers Have Been
Provided at Tybee

Safeguards for batbers have been pro-
vided at Tybee. The proprietors of the
hotel and the restaurant have placed two
boats on the beach. and a couple of ne
groes are kept by them In readiness to
render aid when necessary. This is a
provision that will be welcomed.
A buoy has also been anchored out be-
yond the ropes. This will serve as a con-
venient resting place for swimmers. Ones
strength might serve 10 reach the buoy,
where rest could be had. The trip re-
turning would be begun with the swimmer
as fresh as at the start.
The bathers yesterday afternoon were
glad to see that more care was exer-
cised. The drowning of Agoos the Sun
day before showed the need of such pre-
cautions and, while no one ever seems
to believe he is i'm any special danger,
there was yet feeling that it would
be for the general good to have some
sort of a life-savng apparatus
The hard rain interfered with the Tybee
crowd. Many passengers were carried
down on the 3:35 train, but the later
trains had very few. Scarcely fifty per-
sons followed those who left on the first
train. The entire crowd of Sunday visit
ors numbered about 1000. When the
weather is warm and not threatening II
is usually the case that Tybee attracts
about 1,500 Sunday visitors.

COLUMBUS TO SEND A TEAM.
Guards Preparing for the September
Rifle shoot.


Rifle shoot.
Columbus is preparing to send a crack
team to the state shoot here in Septem-
Der. A Columbus dispatch says the
Guards will have a fine new range soon,
and will begin to practice and to pick out
a strong team.
A good deal of interest is being taken
throughout the state in the shoot, and the
military shots are getting themselves in
trim for il.
1t is hardly probable that the Macon
Battalion will send rifle team to Sa-
vannah to participate in the shoot, the
News says. In speaking of the matter a
Macon officer said: 1T is not likely that
Macon will send a team 90 participate in
this shoot, for the reason that none CT
the men in this battalion have practiced
at target shooting for a long time, and In
fact, We have no range. OF course there
are a number of men in the Macon Bat
talon who have in past years proved
themselves very skillful in handling a
rifle, but by reason of the fact that they
are not In practice, they would not like
to take part in this proposed shoot.

nah companies have started, however
and think it would be good thing If
these contests were held more frequently"
The Volunteers are considering the idea
OF esta biishing a range of their own. This
will very likely be done IN the fall, but
hardly soon enough for the company to
send team 40 Savannah.

NO BLAME TO MISSIONARIES.
DR.. JORDAN SAYS FOREIGN GREED
TRIES TO COVER ITS CRIME.

Preached Yesterday Morning mt the
First Baptist on China-The People
Imagine n Vain Thing when They
Believe That Protestant Mission
nries Are Responsible for the Up
risings-Dr. Jordan Takes a Hope
full View of the situntiOn-He Ex-
poets Brighter Times for the Mis-
sionaries of China I'm the Near
Future.
"Why do the heather rage and the peo-
pie imagine vain thing?" The forego-
ing passage, Psalms. 21, was the text
chosen by Rev. DR.. John D. Jordan for
his sermon at the First Baptist Church
yesterday morning. The sermon was on
China, and created as the subject was
by the pastor, the text was peculiarly
well chosen.
THE heather are now raging and the
people are imagining a vain thing" de-
clayed DR.. Jordan. Foreign missions
are being discussed now, pro and con.
as never before. Some infer failure, but
God rules. A brighter day will soon
dawn for the cause in China.
China the cradle of the human race,
sent a wave of population westward, and
in the march advanced ideas, improved
conditions and the Christian religion have
transformed the people. This wave has
passed around the earth and now strikes
China's shores. China has received a
shock. We no longer think OF China as
ha Eac bt1f he
must submit 10 inevitable progress.
81 deny most emphatically that Protest
ant missionaries are to blame for the
present uprisings in China. Protestant
missionaries always preach the gospel of
peace, and our Baptist missionaries, in
accordance with the old Baptist idea, be-
lieve in and advocate the complete separa-
ton of church and state. Some of our
missionaries were offered important po-
litcal positions in China. but declined on
the ground that they could not, as mis-
sionaries, afford to mix up in politics.
For some time there has been conflict
in China between the progressives, repre-
scented by the Emperor and the more in
telligent and Industrious classes, and the
Empress Dowager and the Boxers. or
lower classes. So far the lower classes
have been in power, but time will change
conditions, and the progressive element
will prevail.
1.-THE trouble was first anti-Catholic,
then anti-Christian. and then anti-foreign.
Capital has done much to precipitate the
trouble in demanding franchises for rail-
roads, telegraph systems and other en-
terprises Foreign greed need not try to
cover its crime under the name of innocent
missionaries.
II expect greater times from the mis-
sionaries in China in the near future than
ever before. When the heather Chinese
see that the Christian Chinese are ready
to die for Christ many a Saul of Tarsus
will be transformed into a Paul, the Apes
tie"

LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Savannah Volunteers Experience
in Soldering There.

Mr.. Charles S. Bevans. musician of
Company G., Forty-fourty Infantry, U.
s. ", who enlisted from this city and is
now serving with his regiment in the
Philippines. has written to the Morning
News under date of May 80. giving a
dreary picture of the conditions and hard
ships of the American soldiers now in
the islands. and strongly advising savan-
nahians not to enlist for service in that
country.
One of the worst things about soldier
ing says Mr.. Bevans. is the heat. Ii be-
comes so awfuliy hot toward evening that
one can scarcely catch his breath. Then
the marches are so long and tiresome
that but few of the men are able 40
keep up; so fearful is the fatigue a times,
he says, that healthy and vigorous young
men fall from the ranks and lie by the
roadside, with their mouths open, gasping
for breath. Furthermore, after a hard
days march as soon as a halt is called
the men are so worn out that they are
glad to sleep anywhere, and as often as
net, from the nature of the country, have
no choice in the matter of where they
will lie down, but are forced to sleep, If
they sleep at ALL in mud and water ankle
deep. Again, ne says, on many or the
marches are encountered rivers that have
to be waded or swum and when such is
the case the soldiers in their wet clothes
are forced to continue their march under
sweltering sun often for several hours
before a change can be effected
Another fruitful source of sickness and
death is the water Often says the mar
rator, II have seen soldiers drink greedily
from a mud puddle in which the water
buffaloes had been wallowing." Another
hardship of the soldier says MIR. Bevens
is the baggage and accoutrements that he
is forced to carry. These consist of cam
teen, haversack, mess kit, gun, blanket,
poncho, one hundred and fifty rounds of
cartridges. and often five and six days
rations. This is what it means to SOL
der over here" he says. and still 1 have
not told half of the hardships; but l hope
have told enough to convince my friends
that the Philippines are no place for an
American soldier and 1 would advise
them, If they are in good health, to stay
at home, for 1 would not give a half an
acre of Georgia soil for the whole of these
islands. "

WILL BE READY BY SEPT. 4.
Quarters of Chatham Bank VIII BE
Handsomely Improyed

The temporary inconvenience through
which the Chatham Bank is passing by
reason of the repairs now being made on
its permanent quarters, facing johnson
Square, at the intersection of Bull, Con-
gress and st. Julian streets, is but the
prelude to its occupancy of a building
that will offer opportunities for the trans
action of business it has not hitherto pos
sessed.
The contractor by whom the repairs on
the bank building are being made has
promised that ii will be ready for occu-
pancy on Sept. /. The improvements
contemplated and in course of construc-
ton are very decided. The ceiling is to
be raised 10 hight OF nineteen feet above
the floor and the building made OF two
stories. Instead of three. as has been the
case in the past. The entrance on Con-
gress street will be dispensed with and
replaced by two large windows. while the
principal entrance, on Bull street. will be
materially enlarged
In the construction of the interior special
provision is 10 be made for an adequate
system of ven llation. something the build
ing has lacked sadly in the past and the
want of which has been felt by the off,
GERS and employees during the summer sea =
sons. The offlces of the president and
cashier are to be remodelled and a direc.
tors room Is to be built on a balcony
above them. The floor Is to be paved with
marble tiles and the ceiling is 10 be Of
steel. Altogether and in detail the bank
quarters will be very handsome and con-
venient for the transaction Of its business
and the accommodation Of its customers.

TEMPERATURE TOOK A TUMBLE.
Fell Twenty Degrees i'm Two Hours
as Result of Rain.

Savannah sweltered under a tempera-
ture of 30 degrees yesterday from noon
until $3.50 o'clock. The gathering clouds
that preceded the exceptionally heavy
rain, cooled off the atmosphere somewhat.
though it stin remained quite sultry un-
til the coming of the rain, when the tenn
perature fell 20 degrees in two hours
The rainfall amounted to 50 of an inch
The night was as cool as the day was
hot. At O'Clock Savannah had the same
temperature Boston and other cities
in the East. The highest temperature re-
ported at that hour, was So degrees at
Oklahoma.
While the rain which came up In the
afternoon fell in torrents, while II lasted
the total fall was but so OF an inch. This
amount brought up the shortage for the
month, considerably. There is a deficien-
cy, however, for July. of very nearly 3ik
inches of rain, and total deficiency for
the seven months, of the year of 2.ST
inches.
The forecast for the state to-day is for
local rains. Tomorrow fair weather may
be expected In the west and local rains
in the east. Light to fresh south winds
will prevail

GEORGIA's TROOPS GET 500, 900.
Chathams May Have to Do without
Their New Batterv


Georgia's share of the governments an
preparation to the national guard will be
short $1,000 this year. Gov. Gambler has
been notified that Georgia's pro rata will
be $22 900. The Georgia appropriation was
expected to be $4,000. The Governor has
been informed that the reason the entire
appropriation has not been divided out IS
because the War Department thought
best to reserve 100000 TO be used at an
other time.
full apporionment would give the
state $4,000, or more than twice as much
as was ever received before. The appro-
priation to the states for the maintenance
of the militia is not made in money, but
in equivalent values in uniforms, arms
or accoutrements. In this way the troops
of the various states supply themselves
with whatever they need 1t was the in
tention of Gov. Gambler, in case a full
appropriation was made to the state, 20
present new battery of four rapid-fire
guns to the Chatham Artillery. This
would cost about $4,000. With The total
appropriation $4,000. the Chat will
have to go without new battery awhile
longer.
In order to uniform the troops of the
six regiments in the state, Gov Gambler
was compelled to draw on the government
appropriation for 1900 to the extent of
$1,000. This leaves to Georgias credit
with the government only 81 900, and with
this nothing can be done in the way OF
purchasing complete battery for Sa-
Vannah.
Gov. Gambler is in communication with
the War Department relative to Geor-
gia's share III the military fund, and II is
possible that he may obtain consent to
draw on the government to the full
amount of the appropriation to Georgia,
of $29. 600
plan is being considered, IL is said, by
which the Chatham Artillery can be fur
nished with four new guns without the
caissons and carriages. the expense of
this purchase being much lower than that

DUG OUT WITH CHIsELs.
Country Negro Had n Knife Blade
Embedded in His Skull.

A strange and unusual case was
brought to the attention of a Savannah
physician Saturday, one which is rarely
paralleled in the experience of practition-
ers of surgery. The patient was a negro,
VINO had knife blade Embedded firmly in
his skull.
The negro, whose name is Henry Oliver.
is a resident of Screven county, and had
received the knife wound in a quarrel
with another of his race, that took place
near his home. The knife blade broke
close to the handle from the force of the
blow and remained in divers skull. an
unpleasant reminder and souvenir of the
difficulty. Two or three physicians in
Screven county attempted 10 remove the
blade, but it had entered the skull with
great force, offered little or no surface up
on which leverage could be applied and
stubbornly resisted all their efforts
Efforts of a similar character were made
by the Savannah physician to whom Oil
yer was brought, with like unsuccess.
Seeing that some other plan must be re-
sorted to, the physician had Oliver re-
ilONtu W tHe btOi gid lHlIIHldiy, WHeTe,
on yesterday, he was placed under the in
fluence of an anaesthetic and the knife
blade removed.
The operation had to be performed with
chisels and mallet, the blade being lit
orally dug out of the skull. The physician
says the operation was simple enough,
when proper instruments could be used
under proper conditions. but the case is
nevertheless a strange one. The operation
was entirely successful and oliver will be
able shortly to return to his home.

ATLANTA DEPOT IN SIGHT.
Dissolution of Partnership Believed
to Hold Problems Solution.

TO Hold Problem's Solution.
Atlanta seems to be nearer having new
union depot than it has been since the
agitation on the subject was started. The
rift in the clouds has been caused by the
announcement of a meeting of the Special
Depot Commission of the State Legisla-
ture, that will be held in Atlanta this
week
1t is announced that the plan of the COM
mission will be to dissolve the partnership
now existing between the state and the
Central, Georgia and Atlanta and West
Point railroads, by which the present
passenger depot is controlled The roads
contributed to the fund which went for the
construction of the building and for TWEEN
ty years or more they have been enjoying
terminal facilities without the payment
of rent With the dissolution of the part
nership. 1t would be possible fer The state
10 deal with the railroads using the depot
as tenants and they would, therefore, be
required to defray their pro rata share of
the rent charges.
This view. at any rate, is that taken in
Atlanta and the Constitution prints a long
article, in which IL is elaborated 1t Is
said that the construction of the depot by
the state would be financially profitable,
and that, unhampered by partnerships, it
could be constructed without trouble. The
day for the meeting of the Depot Commits
sion has not been announced with posi-
tiveness, but ID is stated as a matter of
strong probability that the meeting will be
held on Saturday.
