From Chicago to Savannah.

Chicago, Special.-A proposition
to establish a State-owned railroad
from Chicago to Savannah, Ca, was
suggested to Corporation Counsel
Lewis by Governor Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in a letter. Gov. Smith
declared that such a line would re-
duce freight rates and would have a
great influence on trade relations
with the South. The letter says:
81 am much interested in the rail-
road rates from the lakes to Georgia.
Our State owns railroad from At
lanta to Chattanooga and there is a
strong sentiment in favor Of extend
ing it to Savannah If Cincinnati
could reclaim control OF the line built
by its citizens from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and Cincinnati and Chicago
would join movement for the con-
struction Of a line from Chicago to
Savannah, there might be through
trunk line from Ccicago to Savannah,
operated solely for the purpose Of
paying expenses and interests of the
actual cost Of construction without
the burdens Of watered stocks and
bonds. Such line would prove ben
efcial not only to the great cities
through which it passed but to a
broad territory adjacent to the line.
It would reduce freight rates more
than Is per cent. It would Eave' a
most marked influence on our trade
relations"

Increase Of the Navy.

Ine proceedings Oh INC llouse oA
the naval appropriation bill were de-
voted largely to the consideration OF
the question Of the increase Of the
navy, with especitl reference to the
necessity Of two battleships Of the
Dreadnaught type. The effort to re-
duce the number was defeated after
a long debate. The proceedings were
opened by motion made by Mr.
Burton, Of Ohio, to eliminate one Of
the big vessels, and he made a speech
in support Of his motion in which he
took occasion to contrast the Amerl-
can navy with the japanese navy to
the detriment Of the latter, showing
that with ships now under construc-
ton the navy of the United States
than that Of Japan and was at pres
ent half larger. He referred to the
number of ships under constructions
some of which would not be complet-
ed until 1912, or even later and
maintained that there was no I'M
mediate occasion for further con-
struction even Of the one battleshlr
now contemplated.
Finally he said that the United
States Of ell nations Of the world
should take the lead in the move to1
a. limitation or armaments, looking
hopefully forward to the time when
peace and amity should exist among
the whole human race.
