The last sinking spell began at
$3.50 o'clock. Doctors Carter and o.
Ter were then in attendance. They did
not conceal the fact that life was about
to end and all members of the family
were summoned. Mrs. Mccormick,
one of the senator's daughters, and
Miss Phelps, niece, were present
when the end came. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Hanna were the first to arrive
and they withdrew Immediately to the
chamber of the senator's wife to sum-

they were absent the senator breathed
his last.

In the meantime Mr. Mccormick,

For the past two days Senator Han

intervals and then only to obey me-
chanically some instructions given
him by the physicians. Fourteen
,, hours before the end was announced,
life was almost suspended, the flicker

minutes before death came, General
Charles A. Dick came from the bed

at Port Arthur.
London, Feb 1f.-Yl, voluminous
dispatches from tbs eX East publish
ed here this mo ming are again char
acterized by absence Of real light on
the situation. Numerous unconfrmed
and conflicting rumors are given, and
among them is a report Of another en-
gagement at Port Arthur in which the
Russians lost eight vessels sunk, and
ten captured.
A correspondent of the Daily Mail
who witnessed the engagement off
Port Arthur confirms his previous &C
counts of the fight and asserts again
that one Japanese torpedo boat was
sunk and another deserted by it's
crew in a sinking condition and subse-
quently cap 1red by the Russians. He
says also that the Japanese lost one
battleship and had one cruiser put
out of action, and that the colonel of
the Fifteenth Russian regiment was
killed by a shell during the lombard
ment.
Cablegrams to the Daily Mail from
Weihaiwei and NeWchwang report a
Japanese fleet, with transports, cruis-
ing in the gulf of Pechili, apparently
with the idea of effecting a landing
near Port Dalny.
In a dispatch from Toxic a CORE
spondent of the Times says that the
Russian Vladivostock squadron is still
to the westward of Tsugaru Strait,
the eastern exit being guarded by tor
pedoes.
The Daily Telegraph's Shanghai
correspondent says it is reported that
the Japanese have bombarded Dalny
and landed marines.

armed with five 3-inch rapidfire and
six 3-pounder rapidfire guns: She
made 1876 knots on her speed trial in

THE CITY MUST REFUND
FINE PAID BY GREENE.
City Attorney Gnrrard Did Not Re-

City Attorney Gnrrard Did Not Re-
sist Order of the Court.
An order was passed by Judge Cam
in the Superior Court yesterday. or
dering the Clerk of Council to refund
to Henry G. Greene the $40 that he had
been fined in Police Court. With the
fine the city must also pay the costs
of the certiorarf from the decision of
the Police Court.
The circumstances OF the case are
familiar to readers of the Morning
News. Mr.. Greene was arrested on
a charge of being a suspicious charac-
ter. In Police Court on the following
morning, Recorder Myrick fined him
$40.
The case was appealed to the Supe-
rior Court by certiorari, Adams e.
Adams representing Mr.. Greene. The
principal point made by the defense
was that the charge on which Mr..
Greene was fined constituted no offense
under the municipal law, and therefore
the judgment Of the Police Court was
illegal.
This coint was sustained by Judge
Cam, and the order commanding the
refunding of the fine was given. Col.
Garrard, the city attorney. recogniz-
ing the validity of the point raised by
Mr.. Greenes counsel, did not resist
the order of the court. The other
points brought forward in the certio-
rari were not argued.

0GLETH0RPE ARCH ON
CITY EXCHANGE SITE

Editor Morning News: Now that the
building which was so intimately as
ISOLATED with the active and independ-
ent existence of Savannah has been de-
molished. what more appropriate sub
stitution for it on that spot than a
memorial arch to the memory of Oglel
thorpe? When he landed here his tent
was pitched within few feet from
where it was afterward built The
locality is thus historically reminiscent
OF his actual presence. With such a
structure at such place. there would
probably be no thoroughfare in the
world, certainly none in America, like
unto Bull street,
The delightful spaces made by the
squares, wonderfully attractive upon
those rare occasions when they are
free from waste paper); the line of
monuments: the beauty of Forsyth
Park to the south and the broad view
reaching beyond the limits of the state
TO the north, would combine to make
an avenue singular in its effectiveness.
However exDedient it may have been
to demolish the Exchange, certainly
there is nothing now in the locality to
suggest it's desirability as the site fer
new building, to be devoted to pub
lie purposes.
The apparent difficulties in securing a
proper foundation; the growth of the
city southwark: the convenience of the
public business, all suggest a more
convenient location. Possibly the one
thing which reconciles the large pro-
portion of our people who care for the
town and it's history to the destruction
CT the Exchange, is the reflection that
the growth of Savannah would seem
to demand another building in another
place. l do not know that what they
think is entitled to any particular con-
sideration, but it does seem manifest
that to rebuild on the old site makes
the destruction already wrought idle
as well as irreverent. G.
