BERG LINE STEAMER BROKE
COMPLETELY IN TWo-sEAMEN
WERE ON BOARD-ELEVEN OF
CREW WERE PLACED IN PERIL
Gus POSITION.

The Berg Line steamship Zeeburg,
which mas been pounding against the
rocks on the south jettieS, near May
port, since last Saturday, broke in two
yesterday afternoon amidship, and the
forward half Of the vessel sank into
about twenty feet Of water, says a
special from Jacksonville.
There were eleven men of the crew
which remaineL on board, but none of
these were injured.
When the vessel broke the men
scrambled for the portion OF the ship
Their position was perilous. but they
bravely stood by the wreck until
taken OF this morning.
Steps Will be taken at once to save
as much OF the cargo as possible, but
as ii is all water-soaked very little of
1t will be Of value.
When the wind became calm yes
terday morning there were strong
hopes OF saving the vessel in spite OF
the fact that she was full OF holes.
The waves were not so forceful, and
the portion Of the crew had strong be-
lief that the Zeeburg would be fioated.
About noon the waves became
heavier, and the helpless vessel
crashed constantly on the rocks until
she broke in two.
The Zeeburg, in a raging sea, and a
northeast storm, endeavored to enter
the bar last Saturday without a pilot,
and went against the rocks. She was
handsome vessel, and was valued at
100000, while the estimated value Of
It's cargo is between $4,000 and $780,
600.

Less than a quorum of either the
Chamber OF Commerce or the Mer-
chants Association responded to the
call for Joint meeting of the two
bodies Friday night.
This fact tustifies reflection on a
curious fact concerning the attitude
OF Pensacola business men toward the
business organization. Financially,
they support the chamber well, but ii
is hard to get a good attendance at
any meeting unless there is some
special question Of extreme import
ance and interest
Compare the chamber with the Pro-
gressive Union of New Orleans-per-
haps the most successful Of all south
ern bodies that work along certain
general lines-business men of New
Orleans pay in dues to the Progressive
Union about eight times as much as
is paid by business men of Pensacola
in dues to the Chamber of Commerce
New Orleans is about twelve times as
big as Pensacola, and the white popu-
latiOn of New Orleans is about 16
times as large as the white population
OF Pensacola Basing the comparison
on relative white population, the
business men OF Pensacola support
the Chamber Of Commerce twice as
well, financially, as the business men
or New Orleans support the Pro-
gressive Union All OF which is de-
cidedly to the credit Of Pensacola.
But there Is another way Of looking

New Orleans can't help being great,
situated as she is at the mouth OF one
or the greatest rivers In the world.
Galveston has been made great by
the railroads, despite her lack of wa
ter to the interior and the absence of
a good natural harbor.
Mobile, with no harbor worth the
name, was greater than Pensacola
when neither had but one railroad:
Mobile had q fine river into the In
terror.
Alphabetical, with a harbor not to
compare with Pensacola's, has a
splendid future: she has an excellent
river running well into the interior.
Pensacola has the finest harbor on
the whole southern coast-gIlf or
ocean-yet has not had tenth Of the
greatness she should have had. She
has been better and greater with one
railroad than she would have been
without it, but she has been handi-
capped by not having any consider
able river from the bay into the in
terror. The Blackwater is q good
river. better than the Apalachicola-
ChattahOOchee, and deeper near the
mouth than the Mississippi for most
Of its course, but the Blackwater is
not long enough, does not go far
great value to the bay.
The inland waterway would take
the place Of great river into the in
terror.
few miles Of canal would give.
between Mobile and Pensacola, more
water than IS needed by most Of the
big cargoes on the Mississippi river,
and the completion of the Warrior
river route would make Birmingham
the other end Of an inland water
route into and out of Pensacola bay.
TIE little work needed to give 8
feet Of inland water between Pensa-
cola end the ApalacbicoIa would mean
in erect q navigable river from Pen
sacola TO Columbus, Ga
Are these things worth the attention
