$105,0OO TO SAVANNAH
BY SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
$3,OOo,oOO Appropriation Probably
to he Held in Lump sum.

S3,OO0,oOO Appropriation Probably
to he Held in Lump Sum.
By the terms of the sundry civil bill
the sum of $105,OOO is given to Sa-
yannah for continuing the contracts on
the work now going on in the harbor
here.
When Col. Quinn, division chief of
United States engineers, presented his
application for money for continuing
the work in this district, he asked Con-
gress to appropriate $2S0,00O for con-
tinuing work and $4,000 for maintain
ance of the work already accomplish
ed.
When the bill went through only
100000 was given for continuing work
already contracted for. Nothing was
allowed for maintenance. On account
of the cutting of the first appropriation
and the dropping of the maintenance
fund entirely, the retrenchments, men,
toned in the Morning News some time
ago, were found necessary.
The recent appropriation of So, 900 0G0,
mentioned in the telegraph dispatches
OF the Morning News on Tuesday, is
matter concerning which Col. Quinn
has not yet received any information.
A copy of the bill has not been sent
to the Savannah office. In speaking
of the matter, Col. Quinn said:
Il have not been informed just what
is the purpose of the additional appro-
priation. believe, however, that it
is to be held in lump sum by the
Secretary Of War to be disbursed as
occasion demands it, in different parts
of the country. 1t may be possible
that in this way we can secure a lit
tie more money for use in this dis
trict.
Il hope I can secure some of the
money for use in the rivers of my dis
trict. I shall ask for some, later in
the year, to carry on the work that
was being done when the failure to
report an appropriation necessitated re-
trenchment and cutting down all ex-
penses to the lowest possible point.
1.-THE work of snagging in the rivers
is an important one and should not be
allowed to cease, though unless I get
additional money l shall be compelled
to do so. If the channel should be-
come completely blockaded, will send
out the boats, but otherwise not, I'M
less more money is given me-"

CORTELYOU To FIX
DATE FOR HIS VISIT
BANQUET MAY BE GIVEN HIM
BY SAvANNAH's COMMERCIAL Or
CARNATIONS.

Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Has Written That He Will BE
Able to Fix Date for His Visit
to savannah as Soon as Congress
AdjOurns-COmmitte VIII Then
Begin Arranging for His Recep-
tiOn.
Secretary Cortelyou of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
has written Mr.. Roy c. Foster of this
city that though he is not able to say
at what time he can visit Savannah,
he will be able to give this information
in short time. so soon as Congress
adjourns.
The letter was written in reply to a
request by Mr.. Foster to know the
date of Secretary Cortelyous proposed
visit to this city. The information
was desired in order that a plan of
entertainment might be made.
1t was suggested several weeks ago
that Mr.. Cortelyou be asked to visit
Savannah at the time the Chamber of
Commerce held it's annual meeting,
and that banquet be arranged for
the occasion. This was found hnprac-
ticable, so it was decided to have Mr..
Cortelyou come at later date.
AS soon as the time of this visit is
settled work will begin on the plan
of fitting reception. This will prob
ably take the form of a banquet, at
which the secretary will be the chief,
possibly the only, speaker 1t is quite
likely that, because of the Importance
of the visit to Savannah, all the trade
bodies will be asked to take part in
the arrangements for the reception.

consin, who will be the guest of Col.
James B. Quinn, division chief of
United States Engineers, for some time.
A telegram from ex-Gov. Upham an
nounced that he would sail from New
York on the City of Macon.
Col. Quinn and Gov. Upham were
classmates at West Point, graduating
in 1865. During their last year at the
academy they were roommates. After
graduation Gov. Upham remained in
the military service of the United
States for only four years. entering
business in 1870.
By systematizing his work, and by
his energy and ability, he rose rapidly,
and within comparatively few years
after engaging in business he was
chosen by the people of Wisconsin as
their chief executive. Upon complet-
ing his term of Office he again resumed
his business life, and to-day is one of
the most prominent manufacturers of
Marshfield.
Some years ago Col. Quinn paid a
visit to his old classmate at his North
ern home. and in inquiring after the
reasons given for his rapid success,
was told that it was system that had
worked out the problem.

Gov. Upham, ION the same plan us
the army is organized. In this way
when anything goes wrong 1 can with e
out the slightest difficulty trace out
the weak point and take steps at once

thus been used as the basis on which
