[Chicago Timca-Herald,]
Great mvertr»t in beini? exhibited in
the Southern Staten regarding a conven
tion noon to be held in Tampa, Fla., to
dttcutn plans for the improvement of the
harbor and coast defenses « f the United
States.
The convention was called by the gov
ernor of Florida to meet January 20,
and invitations have been sent to govern
ors of several states, and to the leading
chambers of commerce and boards of
trade in the country.
Yesterday a prominent Southern man,
who has just returned from Florida, and
as now a guest of the Union League
Club, talked tc a reporter for the Times-
Herald, on the questions to be discussed
at the convention and the importance of
the matter involved. The man referred
to »* well known, not only in the South,
but also in many, if not most, of the
Northern states, - and his name, if he
would allow it to be used, would be at
once recognized by citizens of Chicago,
as that of a man who was one of the
most prominent in creating Southern
sentiment in favor of the location of the
World s Fair here, at a time when this
city was in great need of such supjfort.
His labor of Jove, not only at this lime,
but later when the plans for the fair
were being formulated, will always be
remembered with gratitude by those who
knew its scope.
In speaking of the convention, he
said: “The call issued by Governor
Mitchell for a harbor defense convention
has created great interest tluoughout the
United States, and the governors of many
states have already appointed delegates.
Before I left Tampa responses had been
heard from Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Minne
sota, Massachusetts, New York, Georgia,
South Carolina and other states, a^d I
suppose by this time almost all the
states have put themselves in line.
OBJECT OF THE CONVENTION.
“The object of lbe convention is to
create a sentiment urging the govern
ment to place the defenseless harbors of
the Soutlra such a condition as to be
able to resist any possible invasion. The
need of such work is very great* New
Orleans today is in a more dsfenseless
condition than when Farragut captured
the city, owing to the improvements in
modern ordnance. Tampa bay, with its
line of steamers to the West Indies and
its growing export business, is without
any protection whatever. Only one port
of the Pacific, San Francisco, is properly
defended; Seattle, Tacoma, the mouth oi
tho Columbia, are all open to unresisting
capture at any time. At Fort Morgan,
on Mobile bay, the government is work
ing hard. No doubt it is doing all it
can, but unless the authorities are better
sustained by the opinion of the people
not nearly enough will be accomplished.
“The convention has already assumed
national importance owing to the replies
N received from the various governors and
city and state commercial rrganizations.
Secretary Herbert has recognized its
value by ordering the navy to be repres
ented in the harbor during the ses
sions.*'
A MAGIC TOWEB.
New York Herald. •
The Herald has, from time to time,
told of the development of startling ideas,
some of wnich have already been accept
ed, for making the Paris Exposition of
1900 the most marvelous aggregation of
scientific wonders the world has ever
seen. All France is mad on the sub
ject, and mauy of the propositions outdo
the wildest imaginings of the wonder
tellers of the Arabian Nights.
Tne very latest is a revolving palace of
tremendous height, which, if built, will
doubtless rivel the F.iffel Tower, the Fer
ris wheel, and all other mechanical won
ders that have gone before; for, besides
being the most marvelous structure in
the world, from a mechanical point of
view, it is also designed to exhibit the
highest and latest development of elec
trical science. Aladdin’s palace never
approached this conception.
The revolving tower is to be, of course,
of steel. It will reach a height of 1362
feet.
As planned, the revolving tower will
be vivided transversely into four grand
divisions. The two lower will have
five floors each, the third six floors, and
the fourth eight floors. All, with the
exception of the five upper galleries,
will be open to the public, each with a
gorgeous, almost magical, display of the
grandest and most striking accomplish-
meats of electrical science applied to
pleasure.
The great feature, however, will be
the revolution of the whole fairy-like
ure. It is to be pivoted u pou a
central column and driven slowly round
and round by an enormous hydraulic
engine. The visitor, therefore, when
wearied with the glittering scenes with
in, has only to seat himself at the bal
conies and enjoy the lovely panorama of
the exposition, the city, and the sur
rounding country, The plan is' to
slowly rotate the building once every
hour, bringing every portion of the
lovely panoiamic view successively be
fore the eyes of the observer.
Besides the electrical wonders in pro-
fusion in every corner of this magical
tower, there will be reauurats, cafes,
dancing pavilions, theaters, concert
halls, and shows of every description.
It is planned that the visitor will be able
to find therein means to gratify every
human desire for rational and permis
sible pleasure.
The will be placed in a marvelous
setting. All the colurous, capitals,
statues, and ornaments of every descrip
tion are to be colored glass the various
pieces held together by a delicate iron
framework. This will make a surpris
ingly beautiful setting by day, while at
uight the effect will be dazzling beyond
description, as electric lights hidden in
profusion behind the colored glass ad
ornments and even clustered within the
translucent pillars, will transform
scene into oue of starling brilliance.
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 2.—The
steamer Commodore sunk in twenty
fathoms of water twenty miles northeast
of Misqnito Inlet at 3 o’clock this morn-
All of the men on board were
saved and twelve of them reached Jack
sonville tonight. The story of the acci
dent as told by one of the men is as fol
lows:
The steamer crossed the St John’s
bar at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon and at
midnight was 100 miles down the coast
One of the men went in the bold for
something and found it half full of wa
ter. Great excitement prevailed, but the
pumps were started and every one on
board put to work bailing. The water
gained steadily and at 3 o'clock the
steamer was deserted. B. A. Delgado
taking command of one boat with eleven
men and Captain Murphy commanding
the second boat. The Delgado party
landed on the beach near New Smyrna
at 10.30 a. m., but Captain Murphy’s
boat did not land until 9 o’clock last
night. The boat is said to have been
overloaded with coal when it left here
and it is thought that she sprung her
seams when she grounded on Commo
dore’s point in going down the St. Johns.
Steven Crane, the novelist, was on
board and was in Captain Murphy’s
boat. The Cuban’s here are downheart
ed over the accident, especially as the
Commodore whs expected to carry the
men left by rhe Three Friends on No
Name Key.
A DEPRAVED PAIR.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 2.—The leading
firm of Mathews, Ga., thirty miles lrom
here, is Tarver & Ganus, general mer
chants. Both men are married. Ganus
has been sick in bed for some time. Last
night Traver deserted his wife and|two
children and with a thousand dollars of
borrowed money and all the money be
longing to the firm skipped out. Mrs.
<3am:-s left her sick husband and went
along. The pair spent the night in this
city and are now fleeing from punning
officers.
The Investigation.
Atlanta, Jan .2.—The sub-committee
of the investigating committee appointed
\jj the house of representatives in the
•charges against Judges Reese and Sweat
will held its first meeting next Monday
Messrs. Slaton, of Fulton, and Hall of
Coweta, were designed as a sort of sub
committee on law and evidence, and
their meeting will be for the pnrpeee of
inning the subpoenas for the witnesses.
If any of the witnesses refuse to obey
the summons oi the committee on the
12th. when the investigation it to com*
tnence, the sergeant-at-arms will have
them arrested and forced to attend.
Judge Sweat has retained Hon. W.
<5. Brantley to represent him at the
investigation.
Judge Sweat's friends at his own home
and in this section of the State are anx
Sous f."»r the investigation and do not
fear the result. This has been a most
miserable case of prosecution, and judg
ing from beginning to end, started by
parsonal enemies and fostered and as
sisted bv newspaper outlaws. Judge
Sweat stands today head and shoulders
above hie tiaducers in every respect, and

gating committe.'

The Waycross Telephone Company has
just finished the transferor their wires from
the old to the new poles. They are no'
55 feet above the ground, thereby ridding
their system of the terrible induction from
the electric wires that was annoying to
their customers. Their lines are now in
firstclass condition and with the entire sys-
under the immediate surveillance of
both Dr. Bailey and If. J. Smith, their
tomers may confidently expect a service
excelled by any system anywhere. Their
rates tire not low front competition, but they
gave to their customers from the beginning
much lower rate than was given by other
companies to their people. They are both
Waycross boys and are in sympathy with
every move tor the upbuilding of the city.
Everything used in their system that can
be procured in *V aycross is bought of the
home people. Give them your patronage
aud they will give you an exchange that
the city will be proud of.
