An Informal Affair on the British
Steamship Sidra-Record of Capt.
A. L. Atkinson-N7atters of Interest
TO Shippers and Mariners
The South Atlantic ports seem TO be
losing much OF the Norwegian tonnage
winch. until recently. was in ample sup
ply. The past two years have witnessed
marked decrease in the number Of Nor
wegian vessels that formerly visited Sa-
vannah, ard the fact few are bound here
at present indicates that there is not like
ly to be many here during the summer.
An absence Of Norwegians is also notice
able at other ports.
During the years 1898 and 1895 the ar
rivals Of Norwegians averaged 30 yearly.
Since then there has been d gradual fall
ing of in the arrivals, until now the av
ersge scarcely reaches 100 vessels a year.
This decrease is attributed to the in
roads made in the Norwegian sailing feet,
with few new vessels being built TO take
their places, and also to the fact that
these vessels are seeking freights from
the Gulf ports to South American ports.
and from various ports TO South Africa
The South is shipping an immense lot of
lumber 10 South America just now, and
most Of il is being exported through Gulf
ports.
Capt. Hansen of the Norwegian bark
Magnat, which is here TO load, states that
large number Of Norwegian vessels are
running 10 South. Africa. His last cargo
WAS to Algoa Bay. South Africa, where
ne says it took 30 days to discharge his
vessel, owing to the crowded condition
Of the port caused by large imports of
lumber. Much of this lumber was being
carried in Norwegian bottoms.
Capt. and Mrs. A. Atkinson and Miss
Ruby Atkinson were hosts on the British
steamship Sidra yesterday. Their guests
were the Mayor. together with several
prominent business men and their wives.
| The affair was one of the kind that Capt
Atkinson has been accustomed TO giving
during his many trips to Savannah. He
I has been visiting Savannah for the past
twenty years. His last five trips have
been in the Sidra.
Capt. Atkinson records one that would
give any seaman just cause for pride. He
has many tokens of his gallantry and
bravery at sea. Among them is a fine
gold watch. the gift of the President

Both in Select Council and Only a
Month for Action.

The gentlemen behind the Central
Rapid Transit street Railway company
and the Consumers Gas company win
have to do some tail hustling in order
to get the ordinances awarding fran
chises To these companies passed be-
fore the present councils go out of ex-
iStenCe.
There is just one month left, and In
that time there are Just two regular
meetings Of each branch of councils
There will be, however, no necessity of
calling any special meetings to con-
slider these ordinances. as it viii be
necessary Ia have several meetings a
week in order To pass the ordinances
providing for the reorganization OF
Scranton as q city OF the second class.
If the gas franchise ordinance passes
select council without the adoption of
an amendment providing for maxi
mum cost Of seventy-iive or eighty
cents, and this is very improbabte, a
vigorous fight will be made for the
adoption Of such an amendment in the
commol- council, Maylr Moir. il Is
generally understood, favors the fixing
of Il maximum price below the present
figure.
