Lester is bnck at homft with his fHstjds, prepared to take tne summer easy and enjoy a re?t nfTr t e exciting session of Congress which has just adjoin cd. Col. Lister arrived yes terday mqjt*iLg and was warmly greeted, fie is look better than for several pears and 1 1, evidently in the best of health and ftirits. x When seeir tty a Morning News reporter Coi. lister : aid he did not know what he could sap about the recent session of Congress. 'T:u already know all that l ,an tell you.*’ hr said. "It was not a long region, but there was a great deal of w-ork. and an tdmes there was considerable excitement. Net the session did not ac complish a irfat deni, except in the way of passing immense appropriation bills. 3t has been the most expensive legislative session this country, or the world lor that matter, has ever known. The appro priation® are away up in the hundrcls cf millions and exceed any thing of the kind the country has ever known. The naval appropriations bill alone carries $5*).00j,0 0 besides the cost of the eight warship* which the Secretary of the Navy is au thorized to contract." Col. Lester was asked about Senator Tillman’s amendment to the naval ap propriations bill, with reference to the removal of the station from Port Royal to Charleston. "Jillman did not really rare about the removal of the naval station to Charles ton,” said the Colonel. “Personally. I think he would rather nave had the sta tion remain at Port Royal. It was the navy people who were responsible for the amendment. They have alwn>* h-n down on the Port Royal station; not enough social attractions ihete 1 suppose. Senator Tillman saw that i no station wh to l>e removed, and determined that it should remain in South Carolina, and in this he was successful." “With the exception of the currency bill, which was passed early in the ses sion," said Col. lister, “but litl.e was accomplished in the wa> of generai leg islation. The Nicaraguan (anal bill wus passed by the and is now pending before the Senate. Ii will not beconv a law in Its present shape, and the House did not expect it would when it passed it. It simply desired to put the measure hi the way of passing Most of the Demo crats voted for it. I voted against it. I agree with Burton of Ohio, and others, that It would oe the poorest kind of busi ness policy to go ahead *ncl bulk! tin canal, and then bargain with the coisnirin; on both sides, for conditions and privi leges. as the bill proposes to do. The con ditions should bt* determined before and not after. The bill specifies one particu lar route, while we have a Nicaraguan Canal Commission spending millions of dollars investigating the feasibility and cost oT the several routes. We can afford to await the report of this commission before taking action.” No river and harbor*bill was passed, but Col. Lester had inserted in the emergency bill a provision for the re-examination of the 28-foot project for the improvement of the Savannah river. This is the original project of (Jen. Gill more which was after wards modified by Capt. Carter to 2fi feet. Col. Lester regards the fact that In the survey of the river which is now being made by Capt. Gillette the south channel is included as significant. “I krio-w that Gen. Gillmore favored the Improvement of the couth channel as the better and struighter route,” ho said. "The north channel was at that time Savan nah'S only route to the sea anil to have left it as it was and undertaken th* im provement of the south channel would have left Savannah without a route to the sea. With the small means at (Jen. Gill more’s disposal the improvement of the north channel was the only feasible plan. It would cost a great deal, no doubt, to Improve the south channel, and with tin large sums which have been spent upon the north channel th< probabilities are that it will continue to bo -Savannah’s road to the sea." Col. Lester said he did not think that the unexpended appropriation for th breakwater could he div- rud for ill* im provement cf the channel. What v* r iro- je?t of further improvement is decid'd ufon will require a special a qropria*lon by Congress. There is suffice,-nt money available for dr dging to maintain the present dc. tii As to the political situaticn Cel. Lester said "Bryan has a chance." When ask'd what he meant by this h*> said that the harmony which now prevails among the Democra's of New York, as indicated by thr* recent convention, is a very hopeful sign. To will Bryan must af Fast carry New York, and with the restored har mony among Eastern Democrats, < 1 11 • to ti e. practical setMemeiT of the rr one> question, ihe many mistakes* ira > by the Republicans in Porto Uico and tv- I hi! tppines and the corruption which has bee 1 revealed in Cuba there is Ilk ly to i- a sufficient number of p*. ple who are tirr,i of McKinleyltm to give New York and other Eastern tdaies t > Bryan. "The Kansas City Convtntlon will reaf firm the Chicago platform.” said Col. Les t<r. "It might be better to take this plat form and simply strike cut from it the objectionable features. Still there i< the greatest plenty of good material for an entirely new platform. A simple reaffirm;! tion of the < h eago platform woul 1 proh ably satisfy the Western Democrats with out offending those of th* Fast. The mon ey plank will have gicaf weight in the East." Col. Lester said that lie thought a sim ple assertion if the Democratic party's continued adherem c to bimetallism w mid be the wisest course. 1 I he money c| ies tion has practically settle 1 Its-ir.” he said "A few years ago, with lirj an. Towns and other leaders. 1 beloved that the entir. {. .'action of both gold and silver whs no. . i tor the trstis u*‘ion of the world's t nsin. s’ Since thin the production ot gild has lorea d s , tr , a .. . ly that i' is evi i*nt ’hat the supply of either gold cr silver alone would l>. suf ficient fur the trail .1 tlon • f the .world's business , s gle standard has ..;: , .T\ adopted us the basis of the 'country's fi.nancla' ajrtetn there Ii ~ ~,, COlldli.e.ns arc now, for ntemi>‘'iu- i change." As to who will be the vice pre-i lentl.il candidates on the two tickets. i'ol i,e . ter said: "I haven't the sllgii'ot and,., who Btyan’s running mate will i,. if Iln Kiit-Urn man Is chosen o run with m Kinley, It will proha hl> b.

Col. Lester said: "You •$n t trust these Republicans with mono*. <- penally away from home. Wo peopv down Bouth found that out lon- ago. It is the same old carpetbag system that was raddled upon ihe South at the loe of the war, and it is producing Just the same results. The postal service i no the only Cuban department in which frauds will be developed.” Col Lester will spend most of the sum mer at bom* and in visiting hla friend throughout the district. He will probably 'attspd th* Congressional Convention •t Etitesboro June 27, though he hat not decided upon this positively. He remark ed incidentally that the delegates from Chatham to this convention had not yet been appointed. Now that Col. Lester Is at home, the committee will doubtless wait upon him and ascertain his wishes in the matter. WILL NOT BE \ DELEGATE. Mr. (Infliction Say* Hr I Not Going to KnnNnfl City. Hon. F. G dußignon returned yester day from New York where he had bten for the last two weeks under treatment of physic.ana. He is looking much better man when he left Savannah, and says that h*- feels greatly Improved in health. His friends are very much pleas’d with his improved appearance. A report having been sent out from At lanta to the effect that Mr. dußignon's namfe would be presented to the State Democratic Convention as a candidate for delegate at large. When asked about the matter he stated positively that he bad no such intention and would permit noth ing of the kind. ■ My engagements." he said, "are such that i would be unable to go to Kansas City, even it chosen as a delegate. I have at no lime thought of going and will, ther fore, not allow my name to be used left re the convention." Mr. dußignon aid that it is his inten tion to d-vote the greater ] art of his time tlii.' summer to regaining hs health in which lie will be subject almost entirely to his physician** directions. He will leave for M I’e'geville Monday, and will leave there Tuesday for Atlanta, where lie will meet with the State Executive Committe. .on Wednesday, and will call the state convent! n to order Thursday. LIKES THE HOPKINS DESIGN. ft In Said the Committee Will Re commend It to Academy Truiitee*. A meeting of the Board of Education will be held to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. This will be the regular monthly meeting, and it is held in the afternoon, owing to the fact that the hour will be niore convenient for the members of the board. Two or three reside out of the city during the summer, and they will be enabled to reach their homes with less trouble if the meeting is held in the after noon. it is probable that the summer meetings of the board will all be held in the afternoon. Matters of moment to the teachers of the Savannah and county system* will brought before the board. Chief in Inter e.-t to them arl will be the election. It Is customary for the board to te-elect#the . orp~ of teachers at the June meeting. Nothing has been heard to indicate that there will be any changes, and it is under stood that the present corps of teachers/ have given excellent service. It is very probable that nil will be re-elected. No resignations have been handed in. and it is. therefore, presumed that none of the teachers desire to give up their positions. The board will also receive the reports of the principals of the schools. One nt a 'imp, the principals will go heforp. the body to report upon the conduct and prog res.' of their schools during the year. EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS. Will Re Held Saturday nt Chatham Acadeuiy. It is probable that a meeting of the Boayd of Trustees of the Chatham Aca demy will be held this week. The home of Gen. W. W. (Gordon, who is a member of the board, has been suggested as the place, of meeting, and it is probable that it will be held there. It Is desired that a full attendance of the board be had. and Gen. Gordon would be unable to g* t out for a meeting elsewhere, as he ha* ro sufficiently Recovered from the injury he sustained some days ago by the fall of his horse. The Building Committee of the Board, it is understood, has deckled to report in favor of the design submitted i>y Mr. Hopkins of New York, for the restoration of the Academy. To some the dea.gn is not Mii: aetory, and a preference has be n expressed for that submitted by Mr. H. \Y. Witcover of Savannah. The Bulking Committee, if it reports without a dis senting voice, could carry its report, as four of the seven members of the boaid are upon it. The outcome of the action upon the Academy restoration when th meeting is held will be awaited with in terest. as the public is anxious to see a building, not only well designed for school needs, but architecturally beautiful, occu py the Academy site. .NEGRO II AI'TINTS* CLOSING DAY.

The negro Baptist Convention, in FeF sion at the First African Baptist Church, hns proven that tlie negroes of Georgia are capable of developing a high trait of < hiistian character, and are able to as sirrmlnte the truths taught by Southern white people.

Many of the leading speakers of the convention will l>e hoard at the various churches in the city. The delegation is still large, though many are leaving for their fields of work. Money is still coming in for the college work. WINDOW Cl KTAlffc (AM.IIT KIRK. Incipient Blase Called Ont \orllerti Section of Department. A curtain in the window- of a bakery at No. 222 Bryan street, west, was ignit ed by a burning gas jet about 8 o’clock last night and an alarm of fire was turn ed in. The northern section of the de partment responded, and for a time con s Alembic ex* itement prevailed. The streets in the neighborhood of the ps* udo lire were crowded w-ith people, anxious to see what was the matter and fervt ntly impressed with the belief that a mammoth conflagration was in progress. The curtain, though, had been quickly torn down and but very little damage re sult* I from the momentary blaze. - A 1 ♦ w FAIR BUILDING TORN DOWN. Pnrk Dealilrutu Will Any i hiii; Mko It ter.

CLOSING WEEK OF CENSUS. THE CITY COt NT WILL SOON BE COMPLETED.

This week will see the finish of the cen sus. so far es Savannah is concerned. The city enumerators are only allowed five more days In which to complete their work, but they will easily get through within that time. Probably three-fourths of the city’* population has already been enumerated, and eight of the forty-six city enumerators have already completed their districts. There was probably never a census taken that caused so little talk or proceed ed so smoothly. This may be accounted for in two ways. The masses of the peo ple ore undoubtedly Increasing In intel ligence, and as newspaper reading is gen eral, practically everybody is informed as to the purpose of the census. The object of the enumerator’s visit is known, and most people are very ready to give the desired information. The other reason is, that the Irritating questions which appear ed in some previous census schedules ore absent from that of 1900. and the persons to whom the queries are put have no cause to be provoked. "The census isn’t furnishing any stories for the newspapers," said Supervisor Blun yesterday, “for the reason that it is thor oughly commonplace. All the questions are commonplace, nnd there is nothing for people to get mad about. An intelli gent set of enumerators has been selected and distributed where they can do the most good. They are going about (heir work in a business-like manner, and the whole thing is simply on a business basis." "You can rest assured of one thing." said Mr. Blun. "and that is that a fair and accurate count will be obtained. The enumerators are obeying ins ruction** carefully and covering the ground very closely. There will be very few* individuals who will escape the census* man. I don't know how well Savannah is going to show up. bm I can assure you of on rt thing, and that is that she will get full credit for everything she is entitled to.” The ordinary .and "commonplace" man ner in which the census count is proceed ing is undoubtedly due in large- part to the good judgment, shown by Mr. Blun in the selection of enumerates and th-’ further display of gord judgment on Ms part in placing* the enumerators in the districts where* they * ould accomplish the bec results while causing the least fric tion. It is remarkable that there lias not been a single kick on the colored enumerators. Although these are chiefly in the district* largely populated by negroes there is not an enumeration district which do?s rot contain a number of white peop e. but these all seem to have taken matters philosophically and to have furnished in formation as desired. "I haven’t had the slight trouble of any kind." said a young colored politician who is taking the count in a Robertsville dis trict. "I thought 1 knew something about the way people lived in , this town, but fi have found out a few things since I started on this job. The population is pretty thick in my district and it wcu’d surprise you to see the number of fami lies living in one house. Three and four families to the house is nothing uncom mon and the houses are fiot large either. I enumerated twenty people in one house the other day." "How do you eatefo the people who are not at home in the day time?" he was asked. "When there is nobody at home who can give the information, we have to go back at night,” ho replied. "In this way we come pretty near catching ’em all. I ex pect to get about 2.0C0 in my district.” The enumerators get full three-fourths of their information from the women. The men arc away at business or at work, and so it is the women who n\* called upon to answer the questions as to the various members of ihe family. An enumerator who called at at a Gaston street boarding house yesterday was met by the young lady of the family, who promptly gave him full information concerning every member of the large family and all the young men boarders as well. She knew their oges and where they were born and w'hat they were doing and all the other information required. She could doubtless have furnished considerable information about them on other hes had it been de sirable to do so. \\ \NT THE Ell! C \TOHS.

The greatest guarantee to the public in all corporations is the character and repu tation of their board of directors. Faith that they will be honestly dealt with is what gives the public nerve to trust their money into other’s keeping. Ami it is that some confidence in the stat*m ns made by Adler when he inaugurated this great challenge sale, that has carried this site beyond all expectation**, and made it an epoch in the history of Savannah’s r. tail trade. When a house has proven by is past record that ii stands up to ail its promises, the public rewards such fair dealing.

During: this week tlie time of the Su perior Court will be taken up in the trial of criminal cases, and in hearing motions for new trials in cases that have been already tried, and in which the defend ants have been adjudged guilty. The event of principal interest will be the hearing of the motion for a new' trial in the case of W. S. Mel), w'ho has been tried, convicted and sentenced to be hang ed for the murder of James Buzbee. This hearing will take place Saturday. It will be remembered that the boy who was shot and killed by Mell, was but 15 years old. and a brother*4n-law of bis slayer. Fam ily differences precipitated the quarrel, and the evidence given by the witnesses at the inquest, and at the trial in the Superior Court, showed the homicide to be a cold*-blooded murder, without exten uating circumstances of any kind or of any character to excuse or mitigate it. On the same day Judge Falligant will hear the motion for anew trial in the case of Jake Moultrie, who has been tried and sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life, for the murder of Moses Williams. Moultrie is a negro preacher, who had been living in Yam acraw with a woman with whom Will iams had formerly lived, and by whom he had had a child. On one Sunday morn ing William* came to the house for the purpose of raking the boy walking, and was refused permission to do so by the boy’s mother. A quarrel ensued, that was kept up for two or three hours, and finally Williams walked into the house. It transpired at the trial that Williams had been in the habit of supporting his child, and fre quently took him walking. However, as he entered the house, he was v opposed by Moultrie, and within a second or two after the entrance ihe fatal shots were fired. Those who entered the house soon after the shooting saw Williams’ body lying across the doorway, the man hay ing been shot apparently soon after he entered the room. Moultrie began at once an effort to make his escape and was captured by Patrolman Jernlgan, af'er an excited and exciting chase, in vwhich some 200 men and boys participated. The capture was effected in a canebrnke three miles west of the city.
