Charieston's Misfortunes.
Marine Journal: Interest centered
generally In Charleston, 9. c.. in con-
nection with the recent hurricane, in
consequences OF the loss sustained In
lives and property. This typical south
ern city in many of it's residences, pub
lie buildings and general characteristics
was first settled by the English In
1870, and In the last half century has
seen many vicissitudes. It was in the
harbor Of Charleston that the first gun
Of the civil war was fired when Fort
Sumter was attacked by the Confed-
crates. During that conflict the city
was also laid low by fire. In 1885 it
was again practically destroyed by an
earthquake, ravaged by yellow fever In
1888, wrecked by a cyclone and tidal
wave In 1893, again visited by earth
quake in 1907 and recently sustained
the loss Of is lives and over a million
dollars improperly through hurricane.
From each disaster that has visited 1t,
however, the city has bravely risen un-
conquered by the elements, taking up
the work of repairs and recuperation,
which proves that it's citizens are en-
dowed with lots of pluck and energy.
A New Orleans Ship and the Panama
Canal.
The New Orleans Progressive Union
is making an effort to establish a
steamship company to operate vessels
through the Panama canal and has
communicated with the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, asking that
city's cooperation to have the first
vessel to go through the canal to be
one owned by the New Orleans line.
San Francisco has responded and de-
clares that 1t viii await the coming of
the ship eagerly and hopes that in it's
cargo may be a barrel of New Orleans
molasses which might be emblematic
Of the two cities sticking together in
sweet felicity. Tt will be recalled that
New Orleans was very anxious to be
named as the point at which the worlds
fair. celebrating the openin ogf the
Panama canal, was to be held and that
San Francisco won this honor for the
reason, it was claimed. that it was
more logically located. New Orleans
has been a good loser, and from the
above 1t seems evident that San Fran
cisco proves an equally liberal winner.
1t matters little to the country gen
orally where the celebration Of the
opening of this great waterway is held.
Making possible it's use, however, by
merchant vessels flying the American
flag is an all important issue and New
Orleans business men are to be com
mended for their effort to be the first
actually to put the canal TO its real
use-the facilitatioH1 OF commerce and
intercourse between our Atlantic and
Pacific ports.
