RATES VERSUS EXPENSES. rHESIDEXT EGAS ON THE IN CREASED COST OF OPERATION. He Give* Figures to Show the Ad vance in Prices ol Nearly All Lines of Railway Materials—ln Addition to This the Long Period of AVet AVeather Has Put the Railroads lo Extra Expense And Act Some Shippers Demand Lower Hates. The Ronds. Mr. Egan Says, Must Either Have More Business or Higher Rates. President Egan of the Central of Geor gia Railway has been looking over the figures of the cost of operation for the first six months of the year and he is not al together pleased with the showing made. While the Central has been doing a good business during the year and its monthly statements show increased receipts over previous years the increased cost of al most everything in the line of materials and supplies needed in conducting a rail road has been so great that the net re sults are not as satisfactory as they might be. •'The increased cost of m aerials and supplies was bad enough,” said President Egan to a Morning News reporter, .who found him engaged in these figures yes terday. "but in addition (o this the excess ive rainfalls of the last three months have caused an increase in the expense of op erating railways which exceeds that of previous years. The tracks require ex traordinary care, and attention during such a period as this, which, of course, mean 6 extra expenditure.” “How about the crops’.’ You will feci ♦he effect of the rains there also, will you not?” the president was asked. "The injury to crops cannot now be es timated.” replied Mr. Egan, “but with favorable weather in the future the re sults may not be as disastrous as the present outlook would indicate, and the damage may be reduced to a minimum. In railway circles these conditions cause many anxious moments, coupled with the fact that there is a continual effort on the part of some shippers to obtain low er rates of transportation. An examina tion of the records proves that the ten dency of transportation rates for several years past has been downward, notwith standing the increase in the cost of ma terial that is used dally in constructing, operating, repairing and maintaining rail ways.” < President Egan thinks it exceedingly unreasonable on the part of the patrons of the railways, to seek for lower rams when the conditions are such that the railroads ere under greater expense than at any time for several years. There should be a limit in all things, he thinks, even in the reduction of railroad rates. As an illustration of the increased cost of many lines of railway materials during 1900, he furnished the following compari son of figures, showing the increased per centage of cost of materials during this period over the same period during 1897: Rope, nianlla, 190; bolls, machine (1 by 10 example), 150; bolts, carriage (1£ by 3 example), 141; spikes, track. 135: axles, s;eel, 181; oils, engine, lubricating, 131; coke, 128; steel, spring, 125; oils, car, lubri cating, 120: tin. block, US; chain, wrought, brake, 112; nails.

Mr. Cecil Gabbett, vide president, and Messrs. W. W. Mackall and W. W. Will iamson, directors, are in New York in at tendance upon the meeting of the board of directors of the Seaboard Air Line. The principal meeting was'held yesterday, but it is possible that the affairs of the system will hold the directors in New York a day or two longer. HAD A BIG DOCKET. Plenty of Prisoners in Police Court Yesterday. The Recorder had a larger court than usual yesterday, and the prisoners were charged with offenses that brought on the heads of quite a number of them unusual ly heavy sentences.

Joe Small, colored, was charged with having cut Lovely Bohn on the night of June 16. He managed to escape arrest until early yesterday morning, when he was picked up by Detective Stark. He was given a sentence of $lO or fifteen das'*. Lovely Bohn, the woman who had been •IK, together with four others, was also Up before the Recorder, on the charge of keeping a disorderly house on Harrison street. One of the women, Rosa Heidi, was discharged, but the others were gives sentences of S2O. or thirty days each. Needless to say that they will do time. The case against Sidney Brown, charged with cutting Katie Miller, was continued.

Editor Savannah Morning News: I would like (as I am an old-line Democrat) for Mr. Bryan, or someone of his party, to give a good reason for Wanting the gov ernment to raise the price of silver bullion from about 60 cents an ounce to sl.lO. when by all proof that I can get 60 cents is Its full value. Chamber's Encyclopedia says that in 1873 A, D. the output of gold was $36,003,0(0, and that of silver was about the same. Then sixteen ounces of silver Was worth one ounce of gold; in 1890 the output of gold was $33,000,000, and that of silver $64,000,- 000; and, besides, nickel-plating has taken the place in a great measure of silver. Again, why does Mr. Bryan want more silver coined? In 1873 there was in the vaults and in circulation about $70,000,000 of silver. In 1890 there was more than $600,- 000,000 of silver. Now, I claim that the Republicans acted somewhat on the trust order, in having so much silver coined. I claim they did" it to help the mine owners. But Mr. Bryan wants still more coined. His law would permit all the silver in the world to be coined at about sl.lO an ounce here in the United States. Again, he blames Mr. McKinley for not giving up Cuba to the Cubans and negroes? McKin ley secs that a grand mistake was made after the Civil War in compelling the whites here to permit (lie ignorant and re vengeful negro to have equal rights with themselves. It was a hell on earth in the South; and now Mr. Bryan's advocat ing the repetition of such n crime in Cuba, and seconded by so many Southern people, inclines one to the belief that the average man is not capable of self-gov ernment. There are a great many Eng lish, French, Germans and Americans in Cuba that need protection from the down trodden. revengeful Cubans, both ns re gards personal violence and the ose of the ballot box. I had to pay taxes three times in one year and had nil cows, hogs, and sheep killed In the woods under negro rule in Mouth Carolina. To sue .it the courts was no redress, they were isherlff. judge and juries. The same will be re peated In Cuba, if the island is delivered over to tlie Cubans, before they learn more of self-government, and forget their treat ment by the Spaniards. I asked a Bryan Southern man what he meant by wanting McKinley to give the Cubans and negroes the government in Cuba. He replied that he wanted the few Northern people now settled in Cuba to be compelled to take some of the medicine that they gat e us after the Civil War. tie admitted by that answer that Mr. Bryan Is wrong.

The b’nr a Very Satisfactory One to the School Authorities ~ Supt. Ashmore Will Destu at Once the ClanNjfiention of Pupils for ,\ext A ear—The Lack of Accommoda tions for the Two ( hatliam Gram mar Schools n Serious Problem. Many Teachers Will Go to Charles ton Cnmention. Yesterday marked the close of the school year. All the schools finished up their work during the day and children and teachers parted until school reopens In the fall. Diplomas were awarded the graduates and annual certificates to the children who earned them in the other grades at all the grammar schools. Clos ing exercises were held at some of the schoo’s, those at St. Patrick’s, Massle, Henry Street and Chatham No. 2 being somewhat elaborate. The colored schools also closed up their work in a similar manner. Supt. Ashmore expressed himself as very well satisfied with the work of the year. “The results have been very satis factory,” he raid. “The school authori ties, principal:; and teachers have worked well together, everything has been har monious and a good year’s work has been accomplished. It is true that we were considerably inconvenienced by the burn ing of the Chatham Academy, but we ar ranged to continue the schools thus ren dered homeless as well as possible in the hopes that this would be only a temporary arrangement, but it seems that his must be continued some time longer.” As to what he intends doing this sum mer, Supt. Ashmore said that he will im mediately begin work classifying the re ports of the teachers and make the best possible arrangements for the disposition of the children next year. “The lack of accommodations for the two Chatham grammar schools is a very serious prob lem.*’ said Mr. Ashmore. “The present arrangement is inconvenient in many ways and parents of pupils are becom ing dissatisfied. The afternoon school hours are not satisfactory to them and they are deenrous of a return to the morn ing hours. Many will doubtless try to get their children transferred to schools which are not incommoded in this way, but it is doubtful if they will be successful.” Mr. Ashmore will head a party of teach ers for Charleston on July 11 to attend the annual convention of the National Educational Association in that city. Prof. M. M. Parks left last night for Chicago via Atlanta, where he will take charge of a large party of Georgia teach ers who will take summer courses at the University of Chicago. He was accom panied by Profs. P. F. Brown and B. P. Glenn. At the East Broad Street Colored School. J. C. Ross, principal, the follow ing graduates were given diplomas: Ve ronica Beasley.

Isle of Hope's Attractions Drawing Large Crowds. The hot weather is greatly increasing the travel on the street cars and the pop ular diversion of patronizing the cars at night to get an airing is very much in vogue. In order to accommodate this hot weather travel General Manager Lofton keeps the day ears running as long as the travel holds up, instead of reducing the number of cars at 9 o'clock. Cars are also run later than usual, and it is frequent ly half nast twelve before the cars are off the lines This is always the case, in fact, where excursion parlies are to be accommodated. Isle of Hope is Just now proving the most attrac iv suburban spot w thin easy reach of the city. The new schedules make the little resort easily accessible. The run from Tenth street is frequently made in 22 minutes, and is rarely more than 25. and the small cost makes the trip an especially attractive one for those who wish a little relaxation after the heat of the day. General Manager Lofton has made so many improvements at Isle of Hope re cently that those who have not visited the place this season would scarcely rec ognize it. The old dilapidated fences have been r moved, the weeds and underbrush which surrounded the tracks at the termi nus entirely gotten rid of, the trees have been trimmed and their trunks neatly whitewashed, a neat s'ation erected in p'ace of the former dilapidated structure and many other changes. By the use of taste and judgment, and ihe expenditure of some money, the grounds of Ihe company at Isle of Hope hove been converted into one of the hand somest parks to be found anywhere. Benches and swings have been provided and oiher conveniences provided for the comfort and pleasure cf ladies and chil dren. A nest pavilion lias been erected in one corner of the park, where ladles and children moy lake their lunches, and where they may also order their meals from the restaurant near by, an electric cal! bell be'ng provided for the purpose.--.

The pavilion may now be said to be famous, as It certainly is for Us excel lent fare and splendid accommodation*. The darning pavilion is not excelled any where. and the handsome new’ dining room has just about rounded out the needed equipment. In view of the mhny attrac tions offered there is nothing strange in the fact that Isle of Hope is becoming the daily and nightly resort of hundreds of Savannahlans. and that the travel in that direction is Increasing rapidly. One of the most noticeable feature* is the ab sence of the tough element, and the ex cellent order preserved. THE WEATHER.
