The tug Peerless, which has been laid
to Jacksonville people. Until recently the
Peerless was one of the three tugs that
constituted Charleston's towing fleet. the
other two being the Waban, owned by M.
Revals & Son, and the Cecilia, owned by
K. II. Lockwood. The three have been
conducting competitive operations, but it
is said that a combination has now been
formed by which the tugs controlling the
business will work in harmony.
Charles A. Gross, who has in charge
the building of the steamboat Louise for
the Southern Transportation Company
has . .ull force of carpenters and ma
chinists engaged, and expects to turn the
steamer out within the next two or three
weeks. Owing to the need for the services
of the Louise on the regular run between
Savannah and Augusta she will probably
not be used in the excursion business at
ALI
The proposed completeness of the ac-
commodations for passengers will give
the Louise a distinct advantage over
boats that give most attention to freight.
The staterooms are now being built. The
exterior will be neat panel work, and the
interior finished up attractiyely The
hall way between the state rooms will be
the saloon. Forward there is fair sized
deck room. Instead of deck room aft, the
space is enclosed for social hall. AS
the passenger feature on the scale pro-
posed is an innovation, the company real
lied that the only way to make the de-
parture success is for the service to be
thoroughly acceptable to persons who are
likely to take the water route.

Glessner who looks after new settlers

Georgia Southern and Florida Railway,
was in Americas, his old home, yester-
day, en- route to New Orleans, where he

GAN TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION AS PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL LEAGUE UNTIL INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED BY COURT.

New York December PA. G. Spald- ing today sent a letter to the eight clubs of the National League In which he re- cited the fact that he had been served with an injunction to take no further action as President-secretary- treasurer of the National League and American Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, to which office he says he was notified he had been elected. He says he will obey the injunction until the courts decide whether he was legally elected president of the league, and adds:
 'I had many things in contemplation, which. to my mind, seemed to require immediate attention. among other things urging the various clubs to immediately secure a strong corps of playing talent before all the desirable players had been permitted to go to rival organizations; but now I can take no further action in this direction, so 1t is up to each cluo to do what within its judgment may seem best for it's own interest"

CONDITIONS HOPEFUL.
So Says General Chaffee Regarding
 Situation In Philippines.

Manila. December 22-General Chaffee speaking with the correspondent here Of the Associated Press on the situation in the islands, said he considered condi- tions in the Philippines to be hopeful, and that by the end of February all the turbulent provinces will have been paci- fled. General Chaffee excepts the Island of Samar, which will probably require some months longer. There the situation demands a policy of rigid starvation. food to be given only to those who sur render or who stay in the towns.
 The closing of the ports in Laguna and Batangas provinces in Luzon has had most sanitary effect, as the meas ure has resulted in touching the pockets of the Manila F1fipinos who have been aiding the insurgents
 The former are now anxious for peace and are working to that end. In order to hasten matters these Filipinos will CO., operate with the forces under General Bell in Batansas and Laguna.

General Davis Wants Military Rule In
 Province of Misamis.

Manila, December 22.-General George w. Davis. commanding at Zamboanga, Is- land of Mindanao. has requested that the province of Misamis, Mindanao. again be placed under military control. General Davis has proof that the recently elect ed presidente and vice councillors, and the leading men of Cagayan de Misamis. are guilty of treason in furnishing ammu- nition to the insurgents within the past months. The fiscal of the province of Misamis Is also implicated.
 The evidence shows that all three men were members of the secret Katipunan Society. General James F. Wade, com manding the American forces on Cebu Island, concurs in and indorses the re- quest of General Davis, and reviewing the situation in Mandanao says he Is satis- fled that the ends of justice peace and good government will sooner be obtained by the restoration of military control to the province of Misamis and the over coming of all resistance to that authority It is expected that the United States Philippine commission will refuse this request as they did similar application made by General Chaffee concerning the province of Tayabas.

BOAT STRIKES BAR
 WITH BAD RESULTS
STEAM PIPE BURsTED AND ONE MAN SCALDED TO DEATH-ALL OF THE CREW WERE RESCUED BY LIFE SAVERS.

Ludington. Mich. December 22.-while entering Ludington harbor last night (midnighD during a heavy southerly gale the Pere Marquette car ferry No. 16 struck a bar, disabling her machinery and breaking the main feed steam pipe Great volumes of steam instantly es- capped. Mike Taft, a coal passer, was scalded to death and two other coal passers, whose names are unknown, were also terribly scalded. They now lie in the marine hospital here, lowering between life and death. Many others who were in the hold of the car ferry received bad burns from the steam and suffered hardships during the nine hours which followed before they were res cued. The accident happened at mid night and during the remainder of the night there was neither light nor heat on the boat. The wind was bitterly cold. Great seas rolled across the deck and ice formed wherever the water fell.
 The No Is arrived off the harbor from Milwaukee at midnight after a tempes- tous voyage. In heavy seas and strong wind from an unfavorable quarter, Cap tain Charles Thompson decided to hazard an entrance to the harbor. He would have succeeded had not his boat, at an unfortunate moment sunk low in the hollow of big wave and struck the bar with terrific force. The shock completely disordered the machinery of the boat Left without power the ferry drifted against the north pier, where she pound ed heavily, stoving several huge holes in her forward quarter. Thereupon Captain Thompson ordered the seacocks opened and the boat was scuttled in Is feet of water. When day broke the life saving crew, by means of their cannon, threw a line to the wrecked craft and began rescuing the crew with their brooches buoy apparatus. The entire crew of thir- ty-three men and the body of Taft were taken off the wreck in this manner It is believed that the No. 16 will prove a total loss. Boat and cargo are valued at $2OO.- 900 and are fully insured
