SAVANNAH A coALING STATION.

There is a very fair prospect now
that Savannah will have coaling sta
ton. The Central of Georgia Rail-
way is going to bring coal from mines
tributary to it's lines for the use of the
ocean Steamship Company. 1t is be-
lieved that the coal that is mined on
the line of its Chattanooga division
will answer as well for that company
as the coal that it is now getting in
New York. Maj. Hanson is using this
coal in his cotton mills at Macon, and
finds that it is satisfactory.
If it should turn out that this coal
win answer as we'll as that which the
Ocean Steamship Company is using,
a coaling station will be established
at the wharves of that company, and
the Central Railroad will have a new
source of revenue-a source that, in
the course Of a year or two may
prove to be quite profitable. other
steamships than those of the Ocean
Steamship Company which visit this
port may conclude that it will answer
their purposes about as well as that
which they are now getting at Nor
folk. In that case there would be a
big business at this port in coal. In
deed, it is within the probabilities that
a coaling station would be established
at Tybee, to accommodate steamers
which stop there for orders, and which
do not come up to the city.
The establishment of a coaling sta
ton here and at Tybee would help the
city greatly, because it would call the
attention of the entire commercial
world to her. and make her advan-
tages for commerce even more widely
known than they are at present. Not
only that but it would assist in in
creasing the citys commercial impor-
lance.
The president of the Central and
the chairman of the Central's board
of directors must be pretty well salts
fed that Georgia, Tennessee or Ala
bama coal will answer for the Ocean
Steamship Company's steamships, or
they would not go to the trouble of
experimenting with it. There is a
very strong probability therefore that
in the very near future the movement
of coal from Southern coal fields to
this city will be very large.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

There is a great deal of talk to the
effect that steps are being taken that
will likely lead to an early settlement
of the strike of the steel workers, but
the leaders of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation and the officials of the United
States Steel Corporation do not seem
to know anything of such steps-at
least they say they do not. AS far as
an outsider can see it looks as If the
steel corporation felt itself strong
enough to take an aggressive attitude.
1t was doubtless generally noticed in
our dispatches yesterday that the
American,Tin Plate Company had Civ
en- notice that all of their mills operat-
ed now with non-union labor would
continue to be non-union mills, and
that all non-union labor employed dur
ing the strike would be retained after
the strike was over.
1t is stated in the dispatches that the
occasion of this action of the Amerl-
can Tin Plate Company is the fact
that the Amalgamated Association had
signed contracts covering the present
year, and had disregarded them. The
action of this company, however, would
seem to indicate the general purpose of
the Steel Corporation. 1t would GER
tainly not have taken such bold
stand unless the Steel Corporation had
assurance of some sort that it could
get along without the strikers, or that
such an attiture would have the effect
of weakening the strike.
1t may be that the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION is stronger than it is gener-
ally believed to be, and that 1t will be
able to bring the great steel trust to
it's terms, but there are no indications
of anything of the kind. For some rea-
son or other 1t does not appear to have
the sympathy of the public to the ex-
tent that it ought to have in order to
be successful. The reason of that per-
haps is that the public does not under
stand very clearly what the demand
of the Amalgamated Association is
that is, it does not understand how i'm
portant to the Association the princi-
pie for which the Association is con-
tending is. A sympathetic strike
might help the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, though it is by no means certain
that it would. If the Steel Corporation
has finally decided that it will grant
none of the demands of the Amalga-
mated Association it is probable that
it would maintain that stand even If
every labor organization in the country
should strike.
AS to whether there will be SYM
pathetic strike or not, no one can say
with any degree Of certainty. The
stand taken by Mr.. Arthur, chief of
the Locomotive Engineers, against
such a strike, undoubtedly had damp
ening effect on the sympathetic strike
proposition. However, it must be re-
membered that Mr.. Arthur is a very
| conservative labor leader, and his ac-
ton is not always an indication of the
course that other labor leaders will
! pursue. ..

DOw's Question Answered.

A correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle writes as follows:
"A recently published reference to
the late Gen. Neal Dow recalls the fol-
lowing story touching the great tenn
perance agitator's visit to st. John,
New Brunswick. So far as know, the
story has never appeared in print. Dow
was welcomed to the city by a great
concourse of people who assembled in
front of the court house to hear him
talk on his favorite topic. Applause
was frequent and prolonged as the ora
tor pictured the evils that followed in
the train of the liquor traffic and eX-
horted his hearers most earnestly to
shun the flowing bowl and to put aside
the cup which inebriates as well as
cheers.
I'm one of his finest periods Mr.. Dow
Che was not then a general, for he visited
st. John before the Civil War; pointed
to a row of young trees which had late
ly been placed in a public pleasure
ground near where he was speaking.
LOOK upon those beautiful trees,
he exclaimed, which a kindly munich
pality has planted for your delectation
and tell me what would have been the
result if the watchful Providence above
US had watered them with whisky in
stead of the kindly rain and the re-
freshing dew. What, 1 repeat, would
have been the result?'
"And the ensuing silence was broken
by the stage whisper of a young law
yer seated on the platform, who re-
marked:
"A lot of drunken suckers, prob

Mrs. Anna McKeon White, a mite
of woman from Philadelphia, made
an address at Chautauqua, N. Y, on
Monday last in which she told her aud
fence that the Mormons were fast get
ting control of the country. She said
that they had now, or soon would
have. control of the legislatures Of
eleven states, enough to prevent the
adoption of any constitutional amend
ment inimical TO their religion or peo-
pie. There is no doubt about the sim
certify of Mrs. McISeon, but there is
doubt that she is as well informed as
she pretends to be in respect to the
Mormons. 1t is hardly probable that
the Mormons could succeed in getting
control Of eleven states without the
fact becoming known TO the newspa-
pers. The truth probably is that Mrs.
McEeon was a little too anxious to
create a sensation.

THE sCHLEY INQUIRY.

1t is evident from what is appearing
| in the public prints that the Schley
court of inquiry is going to provoke a
very bitter feeling between the admir-
ers of Sampson and those of Schley in
the navy and throughout the country.
1t is to be regretted that there is
such a thing as the Sampson Schley
controversy.
1t is probable that the facts bear
ing upon the charges which have been
made against Schley will be brought
doubt in the minds of many as to what
the truth actually is. And it is pretty
certain that there will be insinuations
against Sampson that will lower him
in the estimation of many of his fell
low citizens.
1t is to Schley's credit that he en-
dured a great deal rather than have
a bitter controversy introduced into
the navy and brought before the coun-
try officially. The inquiry is not go
ing to be simply as to whether or not
Schley disobeyed orders on one or two
occasions or whether at any time dur
ing the Santiago campaign he was
guilty of "reprehensible conduct" as
charged by Sampson. 1t is going to
be contest for the position of hero
of the Santiago naval battle, and it
will bring out much secret history of
the Navy Department, Attempts will
be made to prove things that will
arouse very bitter feelings, both in the
navy and outside of it.
Schley is going to have several law
yers and Sampson, although not on
trial, is going to be represented by
counsel. The friends of Sampson are
going to cheer him every time a point
is made in his favor, and the friends of
Schley are going to make themselves
heard when there is evidence in favor
of their favorite. The cheering has al
ready begun. At Louisville during
the great parade in that city on Tues
day Schley's name was cheered to the
echo. These cheers of the people, COM
ing as they do from all parts of the
country, anger Sampson and his
friends, and make them all the more
determined to show that Schley was
not the hero of the naval battle of
Santiago If the entire matter had
been let alone the differences respecting
the battle would have gradually dis
appeared. Now they will continue to
plague the navy and the country for
many years.

NEGROES IN ENGLISH HOTELS.

There has recently been some little
furry in London on the matter of race
lines in the hotels. and it is probable
that the last has not been heard of the
affair. 1t seems that a number Of
Americans were stopping at a hotel in
Victoria street, when several negroes
applied for accommodations at the
house and were accepted as guests
Among the colored persons so applying
were Bishops Derrick of New York,
Gaines of Georgia and Tanner of Penn
sylvania, and Prof. Scarborough of
Ohio. Upon their acceptance by the ho-
tel management, a delegation of the
American whites waited on the pro-
prietor and protested. They were in
formed that their protest would not
avail anything; that the hotel had
nothing to do with race matters; that
all the house required of guests was
that they should behave themselves and
pay their bills. When this ultimatum
was delivered some of the white Ameri-
cans left the hotel and went elsewhere.
Two views of the incident are being
taken in London. Some of the English
newspapers are pluming themselves up
on the superiority of the English peo-
pie over the Americans in according
equality to the black race. Possibly 1t
does not occur to such newspapers that
they know very little about the negro
as a race, and that race as it exists in
the United States. They see only the
highest types of the blacks, the speci-
mems that have raised themselves
cleanliness and merit. If the English
hotel keepers We're brought face to face
with the race problem as it exists in
this country, they would be just as
quick to close their doors to black
guests as American hotel keepers are.
With like conditions, the white race
is pretty much the same the world
over.
Another view of the matter, and one
which is exercising many of the hotel
proprietors of London Notwithstanding
the newspapers are paying little at
tention to it, is that from the business
standpoint. There is danger that it
will seriously affect some of the pop
ular" hotels If the color line should not
be drawn in them. 1t has come to be
the fact that American tourists prac-
tically monopolize many of the leading
London hotels during four months of
the year. Thousands of tourists from
the United States visit Europe every
year, and it is estimated that they
leave there not less than $63 000, 900 per
annum. A pretty considerable pro-
portion of this sum falls to
the lot of London. Out of the
total of thousands of tourists only
few are negroes. Should these thous-
! ands of American whites decline to put
up at any European hotel on an equal
ity with negroes, it is easily to be seen
that such hotel would lose a large per-
centage of its profits, If indeed it did
not have to close it's doors and quit
business. The greater number of those
Americans who visit Europe are North
erners. Race prejudice against the ne
gro is rapidly growing stronger in the
North. Equality in Northern hotels is
not now permitted, except possibly in
isolated cases. 1t is practically certain
that Northern Americans will not long
submit to social customs in European
hotels that they will not tolerate at
home.
