NAVAL STORES CROP
WILL BE LITTLE IF ANY LARGER
THAN THAT OF LAST SEASON.
OPINION OF MEN IN TRADE.
YIELD OF FLORIDA FARMS SMALL
COMPARED WITH GEORGIA TREES.
Due In Large Moarurc Also to In
sufficiency and Inefficiency of
Hands—Tills Shortage Likely to
Re Felt in E\en Greater Degree
tlie Coming, Season n Sawmills
Are Drawing? Largely on Tarpon
tine Farms for Workmen—Factors
Furor Smaller Cron.
Now that the crop of naval stores
for the present year is pretty nearly
ail gathered, though the official year
docs not close till March 31, the mem
bers of the naval stores trade in all
its branches are very much interest
ed in trying to learn just how large
the crop has been. There are no fig
ures to be had, only estimates can be
given, and these vary slightly.
One gentleman identified with the
business thinks that when the final
figures shall have been secured they
will show that this season's crop was
greater than that of fast season by
something between 7 and 10 per cent.,
but another authority believes that the
increase will be a very small one if
there is any at all, and says further
that conditions are such that he ex
pects the crop of the coming year
will be little if any larger than that
of the season now about to close.
Florida's Y ield Poor.
The same authority gives many in
teresting facts to account for the
shortage of the crop this season. He
says that he has really been surprised
at the very poor yield of the Florida
farms which have produced very lit
tle spirits in comparison with the
same number of Georgia farms. One
reason for this he 'finds in the quality
of the Florida timber, which will not
compare favorably with that of this
state, and another is the insufficiency
and inefficiency of the workmen em
ployed.
It is mainly for want of enough la
bor and of skilled labor that he be
lieves the crop of the next season will
be a small one. The sawmills of Flor
ida, he says, are demanding a large
quantity of hands because of the re
sumption of the lumber business on a
profitable basis, and they are paying
better prices than the turpentine man
can afford to pay. Again the average
negro prefers to work at the mill to
working on the turpentine farms, be
cause in the first case he works in
close proximity to his fellows, while
in the other he must spend the greater
portion of his time by himself.
Factors Advise Siiinll Crop.
An even smaller crop than that made
this year would please the grPat ma
jority of the factors who believe that
it would be to the interest of the trade
as a whole. Practically all of the Sa
vannah factorage firms Wave been scald
ing out letters to the producers for
some weeks now' pointing out the ad
vantage of a smaller crop and a price
above 50 cents as compared with the
expense of malting a large crop at the
sacrifice of much valuable timber only
to get a small price after it has been
marketed.
These appeals have been effective,
too, if one mav judge by the number
of operators meetings that Wave re
cently been held in many parts of the
turpentine belt for at nearly, if not all
of such gatherings, the idea of a les
ser crop for the coming year met with
the general approval.
ADMIRAL SIR ERASML’S OMMANNEY.
Portmouth, England, Dec. 26.—The
death of Admiral Sir Erasmus Om
manney, “Father of the British
Navy,” marks the end of a brilliant
career, begun at sea at the age of 12
years.
Admiral Ommanney was born in
1814 and entered the navy in 1826. He
was the last survivor of the famous
battle of Navarino, in which the Tur
kish fleet was destroyed in 1827.
Sir Erasmus served as midshipman
on the Albion, which was between
two hot Arcs in the battle of Navarino.
He volunteered in 1838 for the Itoss
expedition to relieve the whaling
fleet imprisoned in the ice of Buffln's
bay. and was commended by the ad
miralty for his services. He was a
captain in 185l>. when he was second
8n command of Capt. Austin’s expedi
tion In search of the Arctic explorer,
Franklin, and was the first to dis
cover traces of the lost ships after
traveling 500 miles on sledges.
During the Crimean War he com
manded the White Sea expedition,
and In 1857, commanding the British
ships in Central American waters, co
operated with United State* vessels
in suppressing the Walker filibustering
expedition. He was later in charge
of the naval station i* Gibraltar.
He was knighted In 1877 for his
Arctic services and was made a Fel
lo w of the Royal Geographical So
ciety. He was one of the oldest mem
bers of the Royal <eorgraphlcal So
ciety and was active to the last in
his scientific researches and Interest.
He retired from the navy In 1874, aft
er forty-eight years of active service.

“WITH KJROKt
IN MANCHURIA.”
Extracts From Frederick Palmer's
Hook On the War.
“That old question which we had
ever asked In the months of our wait
ing in c ’ mp on the way from the Yalu—
'Will Y. uropatkin stand at Liao Yang?'
—was answered for the trouble of
climbing to the top of a ridge by the
flashing of 500 guns, like the sparks
from wood when a red-hot iron Is
drawn across it. That scene of armed
strength, the most magnificent since
the Germans were before Sedan, did
not turn my thoughts to Kuropatkin
but to another general, the head of
the Russian railroad system. One
sweeping glance told you that Prince
Hilkoft had ‘made good’ with his sin
gle-track railroad.
"It was strange that the first great
battle with modern arms should be
fought in the suburbs of a Manchurian
tow’n, and strange to find here on this
day a tribute to a Russian nobleman
because he had learned railroading
from bureau to locomotive over vast
expanses In America.’’
Wiir in tlie Dark.
“So the enemy, in turn, undertook a
night attack. Again the shrapnel
bursts flashed over Hayentai after the
sun went down, w’hile the rifles blazed
out from the crest which had been a
dead gray against the sky during the
day. A Siberian regiment and a regi
ment fresh from Russia—the old to
steady the new under the first stagger
ing blast and the new bringing ingeni
ous faith in his invincibility—came
w’ith drums—drums in the night! There
was no artifice. The heavy Slav, like
same mad giant, rushed upon skill
with the rage of brutal force. A tor
rent of men swept up Hayentai. They
Ingulfed the Japanese who were there
as the Japanese had ingulfed the Rus
sians the night before. Then the fight
in the dark began. The Japanese,
driven back on their reserve in the
village, reformed. Shell fire no longer
shook their nerves or broke their ranks.
The batteries of neither side might fire
in the dark without firing into their
own men. Hayentai w r as a debris
strewn, blood-strewn, shell-torn, open
arena for men and rifles—and particu
larly for the bayonets on the ends of
the rifles. Creeping upward like cats,
the little men put their steel in the
big men and swamped the Russian ad
vance before its reserve could be
brought Into action. In the morning
the mist of shrapnel hanging over the
crest was still Russian, which told us
that the Japanese still held that “little
hill” as vital to either side as a bridge
to a roadstead.”
Tlie Aftermath of nattle.
“The day's fighting was finished, but
not the day’s work, nor the day's
drudgery, nor the day's misery. The
wounded were yet to be brought in,
and the dead and the fuel to burn
them collected by weary limbs. The
plunging fire of the Russians against
their foe, struggling through the rough
fields and over rougher, untilled slopes,
had caused the division 600 casualties
including the death of a colonel.
“Late In the afternoon a deluge of
rain washed the blood off the grass.
The flood of water turned dry beds into
dashing rivulets. The flood of slaugh
ter, also settling towards the valley,
passed on by the single hospital tent—
already congested at daybreak from
the night attack—into the village,
whose population was crowded into a
few houses In order that the Wounded
might be crowded Into others. Through
every door-way you caught a glimpse
of prostrate figures and of white band
ages with red spots which made them
like wrapped flags of Japan.
“Dripping hospital corps men brought
in dripping burdens covered with
blankets or with the matting in which
the rice and horse fodder of the army
are transported. When darkness came,
the lanterns of the searchers twinkled
in and out on the hill-side. Dawn
found them still at work collecting
stray Russian wounded, w’ho had lain
suffering all night in the rain for a
$1.50 a year and the glory which the
Czar's service brings them. In the
bushes. In the declivities between the
rocks of many square acres—could ev
ery fallen man be gathered? How
many cries coming faintly from fever
ishly dry lips and finally dying Into
a swoon were Unanswered? At some
future time, when a Chinese peasant
stumbles over a. set of bones, the world
will not be the wiser.”
Jnpnn'a Real Amliltlon.
"With Port Arthur and Korea in her
hands Japan will have the main selfish
points of the war. They furnish her a
striking ground for the mightier con
flict that may come in a future gen
eration. Her army at home is always
literally on the flank of any Russian
movement in Korea. If Japan takes
Harbin, she forces the Russian base
back to Irkutsk. Vladivostok then
must fall of its own weight. Thus the
war will be ended by a blow. No one
at ail familiar with the situation can,
for a moment, question that Russia
must maintain an army of 500.000 men
in order to force Japan to Kinchow
and the borders of Korea. I myself,
such is my confidence in the Japanese,
say that a million Is nearer the mark.
“If after repeated attempts Russia
falls, then from sheer exhaustion on
both sides peace will come. If she suc
ceeds, the line of least resistance for
her by which she can re-establish her
prestige in the East. Is to swing in
flank upon Pekin, while Germany at

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 'll. lU4.
China will not say her nay. England
and America cannot run their battle
ships over the plains of Chih-li. The
limit ‘of their power is the range of
their naval guns, unless they land
troops. Port Arthur with her harbor
open to reinforcements and supplies is
an impregnable fortress. Russia can
not take Port Arthur or Korea with
Japan in command of the sea. If Eng
land and the United States are so far
negligent of their selfish interests as
ever to permit Japan to lose command
of the sea, England will no longer be
a power in the Far East and the
United States might as well cede her
Pacific coast to Mexico so far as trade
or influence on the eastern shores of
the Pacific are concerned. Russia’s
pride is bitten deep. She will have no
honest truce with the Angio-Saxons
now. Our course is clear.

"Wherever you see a blue figure on
the landscape it is Japanese, wherever
you see a white figure it is Korean.
The Korean never washes his body
and only washes his clothes occasion
ally. You are in a land of coolies and
corrupt officials. All spend most of the
time in the street. The race itself is
characteristic, listless, without color.
Through the mass rides one little Japa
nese artilleryman or walks one little
Japanese infantryman, and the natives
look at him with a kind of stupid, pre
occupied curiosity. The smart visitor
in uniform came only yesterday, clear
ing the seas first of a European ene
my. He could almost walk under the
arm of one of the big Koreans, who
erectly, patronizingly, saunter the
street’s length and back again, pipe in
hand. Yet he could clear the town by
lifting his finger. Giving way to the
masterful race, the native, not making
even the feint of resistance, still re
tains that stupidly Impassive dignity.

“If you descended the slope into that
field of kowdiang which hid our sol
diers, you found yourself in the situa
tion of a botanist who is studying a
single flower Instead of one who ob
serves a landscape. You found blood
and men and ripening grain. The
wounded were in the farmhouses; the
dead were being burned by weary de
tails. The heat was the steady heat
of the season when the milk of the
corn is turning to flour. The rows be
tween the kowliang were like the closed
cabin of a catboat which rests on a
glassy surface in a midday sun. Over
head the tassels now and then would
move a little with a milky warm but
relatively cool breeze, as tantallzingly
out of reach as heaven itself. To lift
your head was to be taught humility
by the bullets.
“As the line crept forward there
were only stalks ahead of It and stalks
behind it, and the guide of its advance
was the enemy’s fire. The guns roar
ed like thunder—an infantryman could
count the reports from friendly mouths
as an offset to the shrapnel bursts that
clipped through the kowliang like hail.
Details went and came with water,
water, water—a Chinese well, a ditch,
anything that was wet. Sanitary reg
ulations passed Into limbo In the su
preme hour of a great battle. The
sufferers must drink and a canteen full
seemed only a swallow. If I appear
to indulge in figures of speech, I ask
you to take three days to crawl three
miles through a Kansas cornfield in
'August, being shot at all the time.
When you have done that on eight sen
a day, probably you will think that
the land conquered belongs to you, re
gardless of title-deeds.”

OF ELECTRICITY.

Walter Wellman in Success.
In electricity there is nothing more
interesting than its application to
steam railways. Engineers of high
standing believe that the day is near
at hand when most of the larger rail
ways will dispense with steam locomo
tives and employ electrical motive pow
er, either by motors fed from third
rails or overhead conductors, or by
electric locomotives. However this
may be, electricity is already coming
into use on steam railways. The New
Central is spending $40,000,000 for elec
trification of its metropolitan terminal,
partly for the purpose of dispensing
with smoke and coal gas in the tun
nels, and partly to obtain higher speed
of tf-ams.
It is easy even for a layman to un
derstand the superiority of electricity
as a motive power In urban and subur
ban transportation. With a locomotive,
traction is secured from the weight of
the driving wheels. With the multiple
unit system the weight of every car
in the train may, if desired, b? put
upon .he drivers. In service with fre
quent stops, speed Is secured by a high
rate of acceleration, and a ranid ac
celeration requires power and weight.
In New York's new subway a train of
eight cars will carry motors which
may. at any desired moment, exert a
tractive force equal to that of a half
dozen large steam locomotives.
Of great promise is the motor which
uses an alternating current without
sub-station transformers. If it proves
