Bill - Germany Not Willing 10
swap on Enss Africa.
Berlin, Jan. 5.-The press was occupied
this week with political and business re-
views of 1900, threshlng over old political
straw and forecasting the work, of the
Reichstag and Diet, which reassemble
Tuesday. The Diets session takes place
ample discussion of the remodeled canal
bill. which will be introduced next week.
The bIl's prospects are by no means
bright Besides warning the Conservative
press that the government is only pre-
pairing for another defeat, the Cologne
Volks Zeitung Ohe leading Centrist or
gam also printed an article this week
which attracted wide attention, admitting
that the canal bill is as hopeless az ever.
The paper in question points out that the
governments policy, upon the de-
feat OF the former canal bill,
utterly ruined the chances ot
the present measure. which nobody
can save. II mentions the weak, unde-
cIded policy Of the government In retiring
the officials who voted against the bill
and in promoting them afterwards 10 pet
ter positions. The discussion Of the meas
ure will begin at an early day II Is oil
ready announced that the ministry Will
make a hard fight TO secure the bis pas
sage The debate will be particularly
interesting, since It will be the first oc-
casion requiring the new imperial chan
celIor Count Won Bueow, to show his
hand in domestic politics. Deep interest
is felt regarding his first bout with the
Agrarians.

THE TRANSFER TO CHARLESTON.
Naval Board Making Preparations
for Their Move.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-Early next
week the report of the Rogers board on
the proposition to transfer the naval sta
ton now at Port Royal to Charleston, will
be in the hands of the Secretary of Navy,
and he will Immediately forward it to
Congress with favorable recommended
ton.
The final action or framing of the re-
port was delayed beyond reasonable ex-
pectation by the Hardness of the work
done by the coast survey officials. Tine
board desired certain surveys, bearings
and soundngs to sustain them in their
action, and that work was performed by
the coast survey. 1t was expected that
the required details would be submitted
several weeks ago and finally, Secretary
Long wrote a letter to the coast survey
officials, urging them TO be as expeditions
as possible in supplying this information
called for by the board, so that the sub
ject might receive prompt consideration
by Congress. After more or less procras-
tinatou the data was laid before the
board few days ago, and yesterday and
to-day the board has been in session al
the Navy Department. Rear Admiral En-
dicott says the report is expected to be
completed so that the whole subject may
be laid before Congress not later than next
Thursday
There are no new DEVELOPMENTS to
change the original recommendations of
the board which were favorable to the
transfer. Mayor Smyth of Charleston
who is interested in the subject, was here
to-day to confer with the naval officials,
and he was assured that prompts action
may be expected Senator Tillman is also
following the matter closely, and viii see
to it that proper provision for carrying
out the recommendations of the board are
made in the naval appropriation bill
which is now being prepared for consid-

II can affirm that Pope Leo XIII is adj

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 5.-Private adj
vices received here to-day state that the
naval board, of which Admiral Rogers is
president, met at Washington to-day and
rendered an almost unanimous report in
favor of removing the dry docg and naval
station from Port Royal to Charleston.
The people of the city have been prac-
tically certain for some time that the de-
cision of the board would be favorable
to Charleston, but there is great public
rejoicing over the news received this at
ternoon.
1t is believed the board will report in
favor of removing the dry dock and naval
Lawton farm. This place is on the main
land bank of the Cooper river about five
miles above the city. There are, however,
several other sites at the disposal of the
board. Among others, the City Council
offered the government the gratuitous use
of Chicora Park.
