Reasons Why It Should Not Be 31 oved to < liurleston. Editor Savannah Morning News : Asa matter which Involves the national defense and a waste of the nation’# funds, we commend the following to the atten tion of your readers: The paragraph in the naval appropria tion bill, as it now refers to the Port Royal (9. C.) Naval Station, provides that SBOO,OOO shall be spent for the improvement of that plant unless the. Secretary, after a report by a <*ompetent board of naval officers, ffhall decide that the interests of the government would be belter served at Charleston. In _ which case, the station shall be transferred to the latter place. This last proviso is the result of stren uous efforts by certain Charleston intersts, and ha 9 been cunningly conceived, based on false claims, and fostered hi secret We would say to the country that this fight is but begun, and if fought fair and in the light we have no doubt as to the issue. Several naval hoards composed of emi nent naval authorities have examined Port Royal harbor at different times with a view to determining its availability for various naval purposes. They have al ways enthusiastically endorsed the place, and we are confident of a favorable report in this instance, if an unbiased board be appointed. Those who are behind I his measure ore noisily announcing that the secretary ap proves of the proposed removal and the station is already Charleston’s. We have a high opinion of Secretary Long and do not believe him capable of such action— of prejudging a case without an investi gation. It may be, however, the ear of those in power has been secured by the men interested hi this waste of the public funds. Therefore, the matter is laid be fore the country that it may see it is proposed that the rational interests shall be sacrificed for the benefit of a certain locality; for publicity will Insure a de cision based on the public welfare—-the national defense. We hereby announce to the Secretary of the Navy arid to the country that we pro pose to prove, before the board to be ap pointed, the following facts baaed on offi cial documents and Other reliable sources: That the present site was carefully chosen for Its purpose by a board of emi nent naval authorities. That the harbor and bar of Port Royal are the best on the 9outh Atlantic coast, and will permit the navy of the nation to enter in double column to maneuver and to find ample and protected anchorages. The entrance through the bar Is broad, deeit and natural; the harbor anchorage unapproached on the Southern coast for Its magnitude and sheltering headlands. No rivers eternally empty here their sed iment. and no daily shifting quicksand chokes this harbor’s entrance. Nature, with lavish hand, moulded a great basin out of the rock; and the channels, sounded and recorded by Menendez. 300 years ago. prove to the deepest draft ships of our day their unchanging proportions—as they were then so are they now. That the government's experience at Port Koyal lias Justified the wisdom of ha choice; and any difficulties which have arisen were foreseen and provided for. That the dry dock there situated is the best timber dock the government owns, and can to-day receive any ship in the navy. It cost less to build than any oth er government dock; has cost less to maintain, and Is to-day absolutely ilrm In its foundations. That The machine shops, built of brick and steel, equipped with modern machin ery, are capable of making all ordinary repairs on "men-o'-war,” and are so com plete as to be capable of building a small vessel entire. That the health of the immediate site, and of the whole section surrounding the harbor, is excellent. That Charleston offers no superior ad vantages, and none commensurable with some of those above described. That the proposed abandonment of this property would be a criminal act. If this splendid navy yard Is sacrificed, it will be through the pettiness of a few pleasure-seeking officers, the cupidity of certain commercial combinations, and the cunning of politicians. ißeaufort Committee on Naval Station.

No sooner did he spy the snake, than he grabbed a stick from the ground and killed it.

Another Cln imunt \ppearn Which Mean* More Litigation. Tifton, Ga., June 7.—The Wiley Clem ents will case is again on the dockets of the Berrien Superior Court, where it has occupied a prominent place for fifteen years, with the exception of one year. It wiil he remembered that Wiley Clem ents. a turpentine operator who, although wealthy, died done anti neglected in a shanty near Tifton, fifteen years ago, left a will giving his brothers, Anderson and Joe Clements, one dollar each from his estate, and the remainder, amounting to about $15,000. to a nephew, Thomas B. Crowder, son of a deceased sister, in Ral eigh, N. C. The brothers, both of whom were very poor men. contested the will, and the cas© waa tried in October term, IS9B, of Berrien Superior Court. At this trial. it appeared that the wijl was written on Sunday morning, when all parties were Indulging freely in corn whisky, furnished by the testator, and that after he had dictated the terms of the will. Clements sat before the fire In the body of his log house, open ing oysters, while the three witnesses at tached their signatures in a little shed room adjoining. Owing to the absence of the testator while the will was being witnessed, the jury set aside the will and the old man’s wishes, and rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. Mr. Crowder’s attorneys made a mo tion for anew trial, and while a hear ing was pending, a compromise was ef fected between ftie Clements brothers anti Crowder, and the property was taken in charge by a trustee, appointed by the Judge of Superior Court, and about. $13.- bho has already been divid I between the three, heirs. There were 10.000 acres of timbered lands belonging to the estate, and only a por tion of this has been sold, leaving several thousand dollars’ worth of property to be divided yet. Andernon Clements did not live long enough to enjoy his legacy, hut died dur ing the spring of the present year. The remaining brother, Joe. lives in Texas. But now' comes another claimant, and the w'ork is all to be done over again. Col. R. W. Winston of Durham, N. C., appeared this week at the Superior Court in Nashville. Col. Winston represents the heirs of another sister, of the de ceased Wiley Clements, who in turn, sets up claim to one-fourth of the estate. According to some formality, best known only to gentlemen of the legal fra ternity, it will now be necessary for these later heirs apparent to bring suit against the will already once broken, and secure a verdict setting it aside before they can come in for their share of the estate. And Just here some interesting questions arise. Crowedr’s attorneys say that if they_can get. anew trial they will be able to main tain the legality of the will. If they do so, will not that also bring up the ques tion as to the Clements brothers’ title to the property? But if the new claimants win, and the will is again set aside, what is to be done with the property already divided? The heirs are in no condition to refund the money already spent, and even if this could be done, every dollar was paid out under order from the Superior Court, and it is very doubtful if it c*jr>,again be call ed back for re-division. 1 .*} ; Taken altogether, k A\<juld appear that old man Wiley Clements planted a tree that grew a large crop of legal nuts when he opened his roasted oysters before the lightwoed fire in bis cabin at Riverside seventeen years ago.

NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST FROM THE RIVER FRONT. The Repair# to the Pilot Boat J. H. Eatill Finished—%f ter Going on the Marine Hailany for Painting She Will Return to Her Station. Weather Forecast* for Jane. Matter# of Shipper# and Mariners. After being tied up several days at the foot of East Broad street for repairs, the pilot boat J. H. EstiM wns turned out yesterday. She will go on the marine railway to-day to have her bottom painted, and will .later return to her station. The repairs required were of a tedious nature, and their prompt execution was a credit to Mr. Richard Burns, who repre sented the contractors, the Savannah Foundry and Machine Company. Several of the bow plates had to be taken off and straightened, and this alone necessitated the removing and driving of row after row of rivets. Ugly bends in the stem were straightened. The heating of the iron was accomplished by means of an adjustable fire-box, which was fastened to the bents and when the iron was heated this box was removed so that the stem could be hammered straight. This and other fea tures of the work was facilitated by means of a commodious staging which was erect ed about the bows, thereby enabling the men to work with ease and safety. There was some talk of having the pilot boat repaired in the North. The satisfac tory work which has been executed by Savannah concerns from time to time demonstrates that this class of work can be done as w’ell here as elsewhere. The pilot chart for June gives the fol lowing forecast for the month at sea: Generally fair weather over the North Atlantic. Occasional moderate to fresh gales north of the fortieth parallel and off the American coast north of Hatteras. In the West Indies, frequent rains and squalls, with winds inclining to the ?ojth of east. Limits of the trades moving port h ward. Fog, as shown, from off Nan tucket. northeastward, beyond Flemish Cap; maximum bands occurring near the Virgin Rocks and 50 degrees west and southeast of Novia Scotia and Cape Bre ton Island. Icebergs to the east and southeast of Newfoundland and along the fiftieth meridian to 41 degrees north. Uapt. Marktschlaeger, of the Dutch tank steamer La Camplne, reports an interest ing phase of the recent eclipse of the sun at sea on May 28. The steamer was in latitude 44 degrees 10 minutes, longitude 47 degrees 25 minutes, with a cloudless sky. when at 10:15 o'clock, a. m., the first contact was seen. The greatest darkness w'as about 11:40 o’clock At the beginning of the eclipse the thermometer recorded .56 degrees Fahrenheit, and at the center of darkness it had fallen to 47.7 degrees, the temperature having gone down 8.3 degrees in the space of one hour and twenty-five minutes. The characteristic of the fog signal, a “12-inch steam whistle.” on Fenwick’s Isl and Shoal light vessel, off the coast of Maryland, has been changed to sound blasts of eight seconds’ duration, separat ed by alternate silent intervals of 32 sec onds and 72 seconds, thus: Blast, eight seconds; silent interval. 32 seconds; blast, eight seconds; silent interval, 72 seconds. During the lightning yesterday the fore topmast of the schooner Humarock was struck and shattered. No further damage was done.
