Nt w York. Dee. 2.—After three centuries
of undisturbed supremacy. London has at
last been forced to yield her proud posi
tion as the foremost commercial city of
the world. Like many another trophy or
old-world power and Influence, this dis
tinction has at lust crossed the Atlantic
to America, and now rests with the city
of New York. Although London had a
large population and a wide commerce
when the first settlers built their log
houses on Manhattan Island, it has taken
the new world city little more than a
centuiy to catch up with her venerable
rival. New York scarcely began to have
commercial importance until after the
close of the revolution and even at the be
ginning of the nineteenth century her
trade was only one-tenth that of the Brit
ish metropolis. Not even the most san
guine of Americans dared to prophesy 00
years ago that before the close of the
nineteenth century New York would re
place London as the most important sea
port in the world. Even so recently as ten
years ago, the- struggle between New York
and Hamburg for second place was much
more close than the race between the
American city and the British metropolis.
But in the year 1898, which is likely to be
remembered as a momentous one in the
history of the United States, the port
which Hendrik Hudson discovered 259
years ago, not only drew safely away from
the busy town at the mouth of the Elbe,
but surpassed the lordly city of the
Thames as welL
IVhat the Forthcoming Treasury Re
port Will Show.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Van
dcrlip is authority for the statement that
New York is now in a position of suprem
acy among (he commercial cities of the
world. Mr. Var.deriip says:
I am glad to be' able to announce that
the forthcoming annua) report of the com
missioner of navigation contains the
statement that New York is, or at least is
about to become, the first seaport of the
world. The figures on which this statement
is based are those giving the tonnages of
vessels reported as entering and clearing
from the port of New York in the foreign
trade only, since no record of coastwise
trade is kept in American ports. The ton
nage figures for the last fiscal year for
the port of London are not available as
yet. but in the preceding year London
gained 215,000 tons to New York's increase
of 1,131,727. The monthly reports for the
present year thus far indicate that New
Y'ork has maintained her advance, while
London certainly has not increased hers.
This puts New York Into the first place,
so far as ocean commerce is concerned.”
The total tonnage of vessels entering at
or clearing for foreign ports from New
York and the figures reported at London
of vessels engaged in trade with foreign
or colonial ports are shown In the follow
ing tabie. The years indicated are fiscal
years, ending on June 30. except in the
last line, where an estimate of tonnages
for the calendar year 189$ is given.

•Estimated from monthly returns.
The total value of London's trade in 1895
was $1.123,591,630. New York’s showing for
the same period was 3803.321.190. In the fol
lowing year New York gained $137,980,338,
while London advanced only about $27,000.-
000. In 1896 the figures for New York were
$976,898,235, a decrease from the preceding
year, while London showed anoiher slight
gain. But 1898 has proved a banner year.
Exports of merchandise have advanced
fully $450,000,000, a gieater gain than has
bem shown by any preceding twelve
month. Imports of merchandise have not
advanced, but there have been heavy im
ports of goid to put the figures up. Alto
gether New Yorks foreign trade for 1898
will not be less than $1,300,000,000, while
that of London is computed at $1,202,207,847.
A Victory- for tin* W hole Nation.
Although New York is thus raised to
honor and renown, the achievement is in
no sense a local one. It is a victory for
the whole Vnited States, a peaceful con
quest in the domain of commerce in which
every section of the country can justly
claim a share. The steel and iron Indus
tries of Pennsylvania, the cotton of the
South, the food products of Chicago, the
■ copper of Michigan, the wheat of the
Northwest and the cattle from states be
yond the Mississippi and the Missouri
have all contributed to swell the volume
of exports to a point never attained be
fore, while the whole country has used
the manufactured goods brought from Eu
rope through New York. The nictioiiolls
has served merely as the gateway of the
country.
A brief examination of the figures shows
this fact very plainly, in the most pros
perous years between 1890 and 1897 our
experts exceeded imports by about $200,01)0,-
000. In 1898 the excess reached the astbund
"ing figure of over $615,000,000. Of wheat
and wheat products twiee as much was
shipped us in the preceding year. Of corn
18,000,(100 more bushels were sent abroad.
Meat and live stock showed a similar gain,
and for all of these the prevailing prices
were good.
Although agricultural products formed
the greater part of the increase, there
were also notable gains in the realm of
, manufactures. American locomotives have
been sold to an English company to run
i ivtross Egypt. They have likewise been
sent to Japan and China. London’s new
electric roads have been equipped largely
with American electrical supplies, while
everywhere in Europe American bicycles
and typewriters have made their way. And
when both domestic and foreign trade
come to be reckoned In, both New York
and Chicago are uhead of all Euroi>ean
cities. The United States will start off
on the iwentieth century as a great
manufacturer, as well as a great producer
ty raw material, and every succeeding
year will make American supremacy mote
secure.
In comparing the trade of London and
New York it Is interesting to note that
London’s heaviest footing is on the side
of imports, while New York is in ex
ports. The great liners and freighters sail
out through the narrows with their hulls
low in the water and every foot of space
crowded; they come hack in ballast or
halt-loaded, with the greater part of their

( au.m-k of tin* York Victory.
While American enterprise as displayed
in evt ry part of iht country has been the
direct meins of making New York the
greatest shipping i>ort in the world other
tors have contributed to the result. One
o these is the development in the com
tnerce of continental European countries.
Germany is the most notable example * f
'•ftii commercial expansion on the eon
iiam. From 1885 to 1805 the commerce of
H.imbun? and other German cities increas
• I over O per cent., while London gained
only 19 cent., and Liverpool less than
1 * per com. The rapid rise of German
commerce has put a decided check on the
rapid expansion of British trade.
Anoiher significant factor is to be found
n the rapid development of South Africa.
\ustralia. China and Japan. In the com*
i>ctition of this trade the United States has
< erne off with her full share of honors.
American machinery can be put down in
all these countries at prices which other
manufacturing countries cannot meet, and
as they grow American commerce is bound
to increase in steady ratio.
All these things promise well for the
continuation of American supremacy.
Mr. Henry XV. F3dye of the American
Shipping Company, who is an expert on
matters of foreign trade, says:
“In my estimation, New York Is safe to
maintain her lead. To begin with, there
are the inroads of nations like Germany
on trade which Great Britain has hereto
fore had to herself. This Is a condition
to which Englishman must reconcile
themselves, and it may be called a nega
tive factor in assisting New York to hold
her present position. But aside from this
consideration, are positive factors
which are decidedly encouraging.
"Our agricultural interests have by no
means reached the limit of their produc
tiveness, and we may look to see even
the phenomenal crops of last year sur
passed in the future. More important
*tiH. w e have only begun to develop our
manufacturing resources. In this field
there will be a gradual, constant and
healthy progression. In the growing mar
kets of the world, the far East, Africa
the Pacific Islands, South America and the
West Indies, America possesses decided ad
vantages over other manufacturing na
tions, and these countries will afford a
Steady outlet for our increasing production
<>f finished products. Now that the United
States has the load, everything is in her
favor, and nothing but a decline in the
enterprise of her people can force her
again into second place. Of such a decline
1 see no present evidence.”
Lord Her sell el on London's Detent.
Englishmen, not expecting those well in
formed in trade affaii-s, express surprise
it New York’s rapid growth in commerce
during the past two years. They have
recognized in New York a rival for trade
supremacy, who might prove dangerous
but they had no idea that she would so

the question of supremacy I shall prefer
to think of New York and London sharing

world's commerce. Certainly the great
ness of one cannot detract from the glory
of the other. May they both remain great,
in spirit as in achievement, and may the
citizens of both ever feel toward each
other the good-will and brotherly affec
tion to which they now hold."
Never Give lip Supremacy.”
Says De-pew.
When Chatincey M. Depew was inform
ed of New York’s new claim to greatness
he exclaimed:
“It is a fitting climax to a century of
industrial achievement such as the world
has never before witnessed and will never
again behold. A nation is reared out of
the primeval wilderness and at a bound
springs lo the leadership of the world,
truly these at—days which make us proud
to count ourselves Americans. ’Give it up?’
Weil, hardly. America is a true child of
Britain in this, that she never gives up an
advantage once gained. For the twentieth
century the leadership of the world is safe
ly hers.
“Anglo-Saxon is the germ and Ameri
cans the species of the twentieth century
plant. It is a hardy climber and will con
tinue to grow and to wax great in the
choice spttis of the earth.”
VICTIM OF HIS OWN RESEARCH.
Hr. H. C. Doughty Dies of Consump
tion Contracted In His I.nborntory.
Augusta, Gu., Dec. 4.—Dr. Henry Camp
bell Doughty died during last night of
consumption. He was but 26 years old. and
leaves a young wife and Infant son. He
was a member of the faculty of the Medi
cal Coilege of Georgia and a surgeon, and
chemist of pronounced skill.
Though not unexpected, the death of
Dr. Doughty is a source of profound re
gret to the community. The grandson and
namesake of the lale Dr. Henry F.
Campbt 11. the most eminent surgeon of his
day in the South. Dr. Doughty inherited
much of the professional genius of his
distinguished grandsire.
He was elected 10 a responsible position
in the Medical College, and had an envia
ble reputation as a skilled demonstrator in
anatomy. It is a pathetic fact that he
was the victim of his own professional re
search and scientific lnvesligalions. He
devoted himself with great zeal to the
study of tuberculosis, and in microscopic
study of the bacilli in the laboratory he
himself became inocculated with the dread
ful disease and died of galloping consump
tion, after a few months of hopeless ill
ness. No young man of his age in his
profession gave fairer promise of great
usefulness, or had already achieved more
reputation, and his untimely death Is a
loss lo the community and the profession
as well as a profound shock to his friends.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. DECEMBER 5. IS9S.
ELKS' LODGE OF SORROW.
MEMORY OF DEPARTED MEMBERS
OF ELK DOM RECALLED.
Solemn anil Impressive Services Held
ly Snvunnnli Lodge at the Theater.
Military Elks Toole Part In the
Service—An Eloquent Eulogy Pro
nonneed by- Mr. Thomas S. Mor
gan, Jr.
The annual "lodge of sorrow” held yes
terday by the Savannah Lodge of the
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks at
the theater was largely attended, a fea
ture of the attendance being the number
of ladies.
As is always (he case upon these occa
sions the services were beautiful and Im
pressive and thoroughly appropriate to the
occasion. The officers of the Savannah
lodge, together with those who were to
take part in the ceremonies and a num
ber of the members occupied seats upon
the stage. The decorations were large
palms. In the center an altar was erected
with inscriptions twined with wreaths of
ivy and chrysanthemums. The inscription
on the top was “Brotherly Love,” and
that on the side facing the audience “Our
Absent Members.”
Past Exalted Grand Ruler J. W. For
tune, an officer of the One Hundred and
Sixty-first Indiana, presided by invita
tion. There were a number of army Elks
present, both officers and soldiers.
The exercises opened with the singing of
the opening ode to the air of “Auld Lang
Syne,” by a quartette and the lodge. The
chairman read the prayer for the occa
sion, the members of the lodge standing.
Leon’s orchestra played a selection, after
which Bryant’s Thanatopsis was recited
by Miss Ullie Akerstrom. The recitation
was rendered with impressive effect, and
there was a murmur of applause at the
close.
A solo, “His Face Shall They in Glory
See,” was sung by Mrs. Mize.
The eulogy was delivered by Capt.
Chadwick of the First North Carolina,
who spoke in general terms of the mel
ancholy pleasure of recalling the memory
of the deceased brothers.
“The King of Love My Shepherd Is”
was sung by a quartette, consisting of
Mrs. Mize, Mrs. Silva, Mr. Gorman and
Mr. Beckett.
The general eulogy was delivered by
Mr. T. S. Morgan, Jr. The selection was
a happy one. Mr. Morgan was never
more eloquent. He reviewed briefly the
principles held by the Elks in their deal
ings with their fellow men. The Elks
hold, he said, that mati is of a dual na
ture, one part material and mortal, the
other part immortal and spiritual. The
general effect of such associations upon
those who engage in them was discussed
with the conclusion that they tended to
confirm the “ultimate theorem and final
syllogism of all enlightened religion, the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of
man.” It was well that these services
were held, he said, to commemorate the
good deeds and extol the virtues of those
who had gone before as an inspiration to
those who remained. Mr. Morgan de
nounced the idea that the good which a
man does is buried with his bonc-s, while
his evil deeds live after him. It was the
reverse that is true, he said. He advanced
the idea that if the spirits of the departed
were permitted to return lo earth they
would take pleasure In hovering near such
scenes as the service for which the Elks
had met, where the departed would find
themselves held in loving remembrance
by their former comrades on earth. He
concluded with the quotation:
“For ever near us, though unseen, the dear
immortal spirits tread,
For ail the boundless universe is life, there
are no dead.”
A solo, “O! Divine Redeemer!” was
sung by Mrs. Silva, after which the lodge
united in the closing ceremonies. “Tape,”
the military signal of rest, whether for
sleep or death, was sounded by a bugler
of the First North Carolina, after which
the chairman pronounced the benediction.
The presence of the military Elks was
peculiarly appropriate for the reason that
the only death occurring among the mem
bership of.the lodge during the year was
that of Capt. John D. Treadwell, who died
at Jacksonville some time since, where
ho was with his regiment. Capt. Tread
well was a well-known traveling man,
who made his headquarters in Savannah,
and connected himself with the lodge of
Elks here. His home was in New Jersey,
where he was a member of a military
company. At the breaking out of the war
he was elected a captain and was sent
wllh his rogiment to Jacksonville, where
he died. Capt. Treadwell was a popular
member of the Savannah lodge and his
death was greatly regretted by the mem
bers.
RANKER CLEAVS’ VIEWS.
The Finnm-lal Outlook ns Seen Front
Wail Street.
Now York, Dec. 3.—The general aspect
of affairs in Wall street has not materially
changed since my advices of last week.
Transactions have been fairly active; and
prices have oscillated within a narrow
margin of change. The local speculative
movement has been somewhat irregular.
There have been days of realizing, when
prices have slightly* yielded; but the reac
tions hove been promptly followed by re
coveries. London has been a good buyer,
and the large sales on German account
noted last week have almost disappeared.
One noteworthy feature of the stock mar
ket is the widening range of the stocks
dealt in. Issues which had almost disap
peared from the market are now forming
a considerable part of the daily transac
tions; while, on the other hand, the well
established dividend-payers are passing in
to the investment list and becoming com
paratively scarce. One consequence of
this interest in the minor and long neg
lected shares is a certain irregularity in
prices, which seems inconsistent with the
generally firm underlying tone of the mar
ket. Moreover, this is a season at which
a variable market is to be looked for. We
already begin to feel, by anticipation, the
interruptions incident to the holidays.
December is usually attended with a good
deal of selling intended to effect a lower
range of prices, in order to get stocks
for the advance that ordinarily occurs at
the opening of the new year.

UN SOLDIERLY WICKERING.
A Lively Time In tlie First Territo
rial Regimen) ut Albany.
Albany, Ga„ Dec. 4.-There were lively
times out in the camp of the First Terri
torial Regiment yesterday, and a clash
of no insignificant proportions was precip
itated between the officers and men of j
the command. The regiment is made up |
of companies organized in each of the four |
territories, and is commanded by Col. M.
H. McCord of Arizona, who has served
that territory both in the capacity of Gov
ernor an<J congressional representative,
and wields a powerful influence in Arizona
politics.
TTie First Territorial Regiment Is reputed j
to be one of the best in the service, and J
since coming to Albany it has become very ;
popular with our people. The officers ap
pear to be a splendid set of gentlemen,
and the enlisted men have always con
ddeted themselves in a quiet, rtspectfui
manner while on the streets of the city.
The trouble in camp yesterday grew out
of a petition, for which the enlisted men
were responsible, bogging the President to
order the muster out of the regiment. The
caption was drawn up and the first signa
tures subscribed on Friday, and by noon
yesterday, 840 names had been added.
When the officers became aware that the
petition had been prepared, some of them
endeavored to interfere and prevent it
from being presented to the President, and
that is what precipitated the clash. Your
correspondent has It from a
sergeant of the regiment that there
was a war of words for some time, and
that neither officers nor men were partic
ular as to the language they employed.
The men declared that the officers desired
to remain in the service because they
were making more than they could ever
hope to earn at home, and were willing
to let the men suffer that their own selfish
interests might be advanced.
The officers gave “tit for tat,” and de
clared that a majority of the disaffected
men were enjoying better living than they
had ever been accustomed to at home, and
were kicking without just provocation.
The men could not be deterred from
their purpose, however, and a committee
presented the petition to Col. McCord, re
questing him to approve it and forward
it through military channels to Wash
ington. He refused to approve, but would
not disapprove it. He gave the men his
promise, however, that he would see that
the petition reached the President. He ex
pects to leave for Washington In a few
days on other business, and will personally
place the petition in the chief executive’s
hands. The men believe it will have the
desired effect.
A SPIRITED ELECTION.
It Will He Held In Albany To-ilny,
The Occasion.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 4.—Albany will be the
scene of one of the most spirited contests
to-morrow that has occurred in our munic
ipal politics for several yqars. There will
be two elections, but a contest in only one
of them.
City Attorney D. F. Crosland is a candi
date for representative from Dougherty
county to succeed the late Hon. W. T.
Jones, who died in Atlanta legs than a
month ago. It is a foregone conclusion
that he will have no opposition, his being
the only announcement made up to the
present time.
The municipal contest is for three vacan
cies on the board of aldermen, caused by
the expiration of the terms of Aldermen
H. A. Tarner. J. C. Cassiday and N. F.
Tift. Aldermen Tarner and Cassidy are
candidates for re-election, and Messrs. A.
J. Llppitt, Samuel Weldon, Jr., and C.
Caftey have also entered the race. Mr.
Llppitt is on the ticket with the two al
dermen desiring to hold over, Messrs. Tar
ner and Cassidy, while Messrs. Weldon
and CofTey are going it alone. The contest
is going o be a close and exciting one.
Each of the five candidate has a strong
following, and all are among our foremost
business men. No man can tell to-day
what the result will be.
At its next regular meeting the City
Council will have to elect a successor to
the late Alderman H. C. Cox, who .died a
few days ago. Mr. Cox was also a mem
ber of the Board of County Commission
ers, and his successor Is also soon to be
chosen for that position.
