Boston Losing Trade.

Boston Losing Trade.
 Boston Advertiser.
 The way in which the grain trade of Boston is shrinking looks pretty bad to those who are inteIested in the trade or this port, The Kansae is to leave here today for the second time within a few weeks with ballast of coal and dirt in- stead of grain. Last week two other ves- seis left without their usual ballast of wheat. Even when ships get grain to carry they are not sure of selling n at inc export prices by way of Boston; In at least two cases on the Furness Line lately the steamers brouhgt their grain hack paving insurance both ways.
 It is all right to say that other ports are in the same case. but we know that some of them are not. Portland is do- ing a good business in grain. So IS Mon treai. So Is Quebec. Montreal has an all water route or a short haul by way of Depot Harbor, and nobody doubts that the rate has been showed below the al- rail rates, except where the haul IS over the Grand Trunk, Reports are coming nm from Norfolk, too, that the steamers there are doing a good business.
 Boston has so long been one or the chief grain-exportng points on the At iantic Coast that there Is good reason for the uneasiness of railroad and steam shin men over the present outlook.

The object of Meeting of Isle of
Hope Protective Association.
The Isle OF Hope Protective Associa-
ton, an organization for the enforce
ment of the fishery laws at Isle of Hope
and the other salt water resorts of this
vicinity and which includes in its
membership the most prominent resi-
dents of Isle of Hope, Thunderbolt
Cattle Park, Bonabella, Cedar Ham
mock. and Montgomery, held a special
meeting in the office of Mr.. F. C. WILLY
yesterday.
The object of the meeting was to dis
cuss the ACCESSIBILITY and the means of
taking active steps against a number
of people who, it is said, have been
stealing oysters from private beds, and
using seins and gill nets at a season
that is prescribed by law. Immediate
action is considered necessary as the
fishing at many of the resorts, notably
Isle of Hope, has been practically
ruined by the use of these illegal
methods of taking fish.
steps viii be taken at once to capture
some of the offenders or to secure other
proof of their guilt, and that when
such proof is secured the culprits will
be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
The annual meeting of the association
will be held the latter part of May.

OWNED BY GEORGE H. TILToN.
New Hampshire Man Gains Title to
savannah Cotton Mills.

The absolute title to the Savannah
Cotton Mills is now vested with George
H. Tilton of New Hampshire. who has
been the lessor and operator of the
mills for the past several years. The
property has been sold to him by the
Southern Bank for $4,000.
The deed to the property was filed
for record in the Office of the clerk
of the Superior Court this week. There
are about four acres of land in the
tract on which the mill buildings are
located, and the deed conveys this and
the buildings and mahinery that go to
make up the plant
There was filed at the same time a
deed to secure debt on the property,
given by it's present owner, Mr.. Tilton,
to secure a loan of 100000 made him
by the Southern Bank. The loan is
for two years and interest upon the
principal sum- at the rate of per cent.
per annum, is to be paid.
Although it has not been possible alb
solutely to verify the conclusion, it is
believed that the mills have been
merged in the consolidation of other
Southern mill properties of the same
character and that Mr.. Tilton secured
the absolute title to the property large
ly to facilitate this consolidation.

BIG SALE OF SPOT COTTON.
E. GussOni of Milan Bought 2,O1S
Bales From John FIannery Co.

E. GussOni of Milan Bought 2,O1S
Bales From John FIannery Co.
The largest single sale of spot cot
ten made in Savannah in recent years
was by the John Flannery Company
yesterday, when 2,O1S bales were sold
to E. Gussoni of Milan through his
Savannah representative, Mr.. E. Bru-
ner. The total sales of spot cotton
for the day were 1854 bales. Many
more transactions this size will very
probably wipe up the offering stock,
which is not understood to be large.
In the commercial columns of the
Morning News attention has been
called for several days past to the
strong demand for spot cotton, not
only here, but at all the leading trad
ing centers.
Spinners appear to be after the &C
tual cotton, and are buying with avid
ity. not only here, but throughout
the South. Then, too. it is stated that
exporters find it to their advantage to
buy on the spot at the moment, which
offers advantages over f. o. b. ship
ments from the interior. e. Gussoni
has been a large buyer here, notwith-
standing the fact his officer was es-
tablished late in November after the
active season had opened.

''While 1 may not be pleasing all of

before my term of Office expires 1 will
convince every one that I am an
American"
President Theodore Roosevelt made
this statement to w. r. Leaken, Esq,
in Washington during conversation
in which local political questions were
not discussed. Mr.. Leaken was in
Washington as a delegate to the nat
ional convention of the Sons of the
Revolution and returned home yester-
day morning.
The President seemed to understand
perfectly we'll that he has not pleased
a large number of people, but says that
before he has concluded his service to
his country he will convince all of them
that he is an American. He said that
! he is determined to show to the people
of the United States that he is an
American in the truest sense Of
the word.
The President expressed pleasure at
the manner in which he was received
upon the occasion of his visit to the
Charleston Exposition, and expressed a
desire to visit Savannah before his
term closes. In connection with his
recent Southern trip the President
brought out the fact that he is aim
ing to show the people that he is an
American. He told Mr.. Leaken that he
is watching the people of the South and
its advancement, and that he is pleased
with the progress it has made. This
progress has been marked, and is graf
flying to the chief magistrate of the
nation.
Secretary Cortelyou talked with Mr..
Ieaken and said that President Roose-
Welt had expressed regrets at his ina
bility to attend the centennial banquet
OF the GUARDS next week. ne Illdue tnlS
remark to his secretary when the invi-
tation to attend the banquet was re-

self would like to come to Savannah,
and announced his personal regrets at
the inability of the President to attend
the banquet. Mr.. Cortelyou recalled
pleasantly his visit here with the late
President Mckinley and is anxious to
come to Savannah again.
While in Washington Mr.. Leaken
saw James Hamilton Lewis. He is
attracting no little attention in the
capitol, and Mr.. Leaken saw him spin
ming around the city in a French auto
mobile. No one has been able to dis
cover, he said, just what the ex-con-
gresham and former Savannahian is
doing in Washington, but he is the
same Johnny on the Spot" and at
tracts the usual amount of attention.
I5e appears prosperous, is a prominent
figure and, Mr.. Leaken says, has some
high card up his sleeve. The late
congressman has all of Washington
guessing.

ATE ANOTHER'S- BISCUIT.
For This Grave Crime a Hungry
Negro Must Answer.


Negro Must Answer.
For devouring a biscuit that helped
make up the lunch of a trolley car mo-
torman, John Anderson, a lean and
hungry negro, will have to stand trial
in the City Court on charge of sim
pie larceny. A conviction will mean
a term on the county chaingang.
Anderson admitted that he ate the
biscuit, and also confessed that he
knew at the time that it did not be-
long to him. The negro said that he
did not think any one wanted it. He
fragile repast of the tired and hungry
motorman, who was operating the car.
The negro was hungry and he told Re-
corder Myrick that the temptation was
a trife more than he could resist. He
didn't want to see the biscuit wasted
and he knew that if he disposed of it
he would feel more comfortable.
When the motorman made the dis
covery that Anderson had caused the
biscuit to disappear he had the negro
placed under arrest and sent to the
station house. He appeared in the role
of prosecutor in Police Court and no
compassion was shown to the unfortu-
nate whose hunger prompted him to
take a mouthful of food that apparent
lY belonged to no oneL Whether the
negro will receive a chaingang sentence
or his liberty for the alleged theft will
be decided by Judge Norwood to-day.
