x Want To Retain Car Work*.
The Savannah Trade bodies have
decided to take a hand. in the effort
to retain the Car Works of the South
Atlantic Car and Manufacturing Com
pany here. Today has been a very
active one in that connection. Mr. F.
R. Durden, the President of the com
pany which owned the burned works,
states that one reason the company
thinks of moving the shops from Sav
annah, or rather of not rebuilding
them since they have been destroyed
by fire is their inaccessibility. The
| Savannah Electric Company has an
r electrto line within two miles of the
site of the plant but it has shown no
tendency to extend It. The company
has been asked several times to do
this but have always declined. Mr.
Durden says that if there is no car
line there will porbably be no car
shops Mayor Tiedeman has asked
for a conference to discuss the situa
tion and he will meet Mr. Durden this
afternoon. Mr. W. W. Williamson, the
President of the Chamber of Commer
ce, i« interesting himself to a con
siderable extent in the situation. There
are other cities bidding fof the three
quarter of a million enterprise but
Savannah Is going to keep It if possi
ble.
^Increase In Price.
The increase In the price of naval
stores cask staves Is exciting some In
terest among the naval stores people
of Savannah. White oak staves from
Arkansas or Kentucky, where the
most acceptable come from, have
gone up in price fully one hundred
per cnet within the past few days.
Excessive rains in the states mention
ed is given as the cause.
product, while probably the most
beautiful illuminant In existence,
too expensive for private residences
or business bouses.
The company has not as yet ap
pointed a manager for the works here
but the appointment will probably be
made in a few days.

Chinese Minleter At Washington To
Be Called Home Hie Govern
ment In The Near Future.
Washington, Jan. 24.—It Is probable
that, In the near future, Sir Chautung
Liang Cheng, the Chinea$ Minister,
will be recalled from Washington by
his government to undertake some
Important and delicate duties at Po
king.
The recall of Sir Liang will reflect,
no sense, upon him, as the Chi
nese government usually permits. Its
diplomatic representative to remain In
one post no'longer than three years.
Sir Liang has been in Washington al
ready for a longer period than that.
His recall at tho present juncture,
however, would be regarded by Amer
ican officials as unfortunate, not only
becauso he la popular In this country,
but also because he has well In hand
he situation which has Induced Con*
resi to reconsider the enactment of
new law respecting the exclusion of
Chinese coolies.
Sir Liang la an accomplished Eng
lish scholar and personally and offi
cially Is held In high regard by both
the State Department and by the peo
ple of this country with whom he has
come In contact While he Is thor
oughly loyal to his country, he Is just
and reasonable and possesses a full
realization of the situation here which
has brought about the exclusion ( of
the laboring classes of his country
men.
Mr. Warren, the nranuger of tho
Georgia Engineering Company, of Au*
gusta, who have the contract for tho
Plant Avenue street paving, was In
tho city yesterday and announced that
ho would begin placing the stone curb
ing for the pavement on next Thurs
day.
The stono corner pieces which havo
been on tho road for several weeks,
urrived yesterday and were unloaded
today. Now that these pieces havo
urrived tho paving work can be push
ed forward rapidly to completion.
Tho actual work of laying tho vit
rified brick will not commence for two
or threo weeks ,as tho curbing has to
be allowed to act for some days, and
It will also bo nocessary to lay tho
drain pipes which are to be placed un
der tho pavement
Tho laying of the drainage was not
at first Included In the contract with
the paving people, as it was believ
ed that the city could do this work to
advantage with the convict gang. Lab *
or, however, it was thought advisable
to glvo out this contract along with
tho paving work.
It is very llkoly that tho pavement
will bo completed by tho latter part
of March as about 27,000 brick will
be laid each day when tho regular
work begins.
The work will start at the western
end of Plant Avenuo near the English
block.
