HOW IT HAPPENED
A Savannah View of the Baseball
Game in That City.
The following is from the Savannah
Morning News of yesterday:
The C. 1,. A.’s baseball team shut
out the team from Brunswick In the
game played in the Holton Street
Park yesterday afternoon, and won
the game handily by the score of G tie
0. The visitors were slow, on bases,
not a man got beyond second, nor
could they connect with Hull’s curves
for more than three hits. Their only
strong point was their fielding, and
this was good enough to keep the lo
cals town do seven hits.,
The locals, on the other hand, play
ed good and fast hall, both a.s a team
and individually. Some of the plays
were of the gilt-edge variety, especi
ally the work oi" Charlton, who not
only caught a fine game, and by .his
accurate throwing to second bag pre
vented a single man from stealing
that base, but also in his batting. He
is really responsible for most of the
runs made, for twice he came to the
hat with two men on bases, and twice
bjj making an opportune hit. he sent
them across) tthe plate. He himself
scored one run.
Hull pitched a good game, allowing
but one base on balls and being touch
ed for only three hits. His fielding
was unusually good for four bails
bunted to him were captured in good
time, and in three cases the runner
thrown out at first, the fourth runner
was safe on an error of first base.
Among the features of the game
wa<j a fine catch of Bertie Sullivan,
who caught on a sprint from center
field a line fly over short, and a fine
catch of a fly to left, which Walker
gathered in after a hard run. J. Mc-
Intyre played a fast and clever short,
and W, Downey made a sensational
tnrow from right field to third base,
catching a man at that hag.
Picnic Today.
The Sunday School of the Meth
odist. church will picnic at St. Simon
today. It Is expected that a large
crowd will go down.
Cuban Vessels Must Pay Dues.
The Tre ~ury Department announ
ces that vessels under Cuan registry
will be subject to alien tonage dues
until reciprocal relations shall he es
tablished between the two govern
ments exempting the vessels from
such dues.

Present: Hon. N. Emanuel, May
er: Aldermen Franklin, du Bignon,
M( Garvey. Kaiser and Cook. Absent:
Aldermen Newman. Calhoun nnd Tay
lor.
The Mayor stated the object of the
cad.
The following resolution by Alder
man 1 ranklin was unanimously adopt
ed :
Whereas, in the issue of the Bruns
vi, 1. News ol this dale there appears
an article under the 1 headline "To Ex
'imini' City’s 800k5,,” purporting to
an account or what transpired at, a
merling of (his body held Tuesday,
■lime I7lh. which said article misrep
resents what did occur at sold meet-,
lug and is calculated lo mislead the
public;
Ami whereas, it is stated In said
ailiele that, "It was,,agreed to em
ploy an expert accountant to make a
1 norough cheek of the accounts of
Citv Treasurer, Geo. H. Smith," and,
as a matter of fact, no such agree
ment was had at said meeting:
And Whereas, it Is further stated In
said article (hat, “at a meeting held
some time age a ro.-oluflon was adopt
ed appropriating a sum not exceeding
$250.00, hut for some reaspn the res
olution was never put into effeet, and
at the meeting held Tuesday it was
unanimously decided to employ an ac
cmilitant, for the purpose named,” and
a- a matter of fact, iso such decision
was reached at said meeting, and, on
the other hand, the sentiment of a
majority of those present was in fa
vor ol rescinding said appropriation,
it apearing that the finance committee
had carefully audited all the hooks of
the eity each month;
And whereas, wnile there was some
discussion a s to the wisdom of spend
iii". any money for said purpose, ma
jority expressing themselves as op
posed fo said expenditure, no action
whatever was taken at said meeting
on said subject;
And whereas, the statements con
tained in said article are likely to
create the impression that there is,
on the part of thin,' body, a lack of
confidence in our City Treasurer;
Therefore, be it resolved;
(1.) That il is the sense of tnis body
•hat the public should he advised of
the misleading character of said ar
ticle.
(2.) That, we have the very highest
degree of confidence in City Treas
urer, Geo. 11. Smith, knowing, from
earefuly and constant Investigation
of tne affairs of His office, through the
finance committee, that, his entire offi
cial conduct is, in every particular,
above reproach, a credit to himself
and to those who placed him in office,
and that his sterling integrity and
excellent, ability are absolute guaran
tees of the safety of our public funds.

THE EMINENT FLORIDA AUTHOR
ITY SAYS HOPETON PLANTA
TION IS FERTILE.
Prof. H. E. Stockridge, of the Flor
ida Experiment station, who has been
in the cltjl for a day or two making
an inspection of the Hopeton planta
tion, which has recently been pur
chased by Mr. Dean, returned to his
home in Florida yesterday afternoon.
It is understood that Prof. Stock
ridge was very much impressed with
this splendid piece of property and
that his report to Mr. Dean was a
very encouraging one. It is the iiv
tentlon of the purchaser of thiß prop
erty to engage extensively in stock
raising and truck farming and Prof.
Stockridge is of the opinion that the
land is especially suitable for this
purpose.

ination.
Washington, June 19. —President
Roosevelt certainly has his course set
for the presidential election of 1904,
and is doing everything within his
power fo keep the matter up before
the leaders of the party in order that
no time will be lost that might be
devoted to nls interest.
This is the leading topic, with the
chief executive, and very often he
calls in his friends, entertains them,
etc., in order that they may talk about
his chances for renomination and re
election.
„He is more than anxious to do some
thing to further bis) ambitin. Ihtteiy
President Roosevelt has hinted to the
Michigan and Minnesota statesmen
that it would be a good Idea if the
republican state convention In their
respective states, when they should
be held, would endorse him as Kansas
did.

Birmingham, June 19. —The police

GEORGIA STATESMEN ARE FIG
URING ON THE SPEAKERSHIP
OF THE NEXT LEGISLATURE
MANY WANT IT.
LOCAL OPTION IS TO HAVE A
PROMINENT PLACE IN THE
DECLARATION ELLIS COULD
HAVE BEEN SPEAKER.
Atlanta, June 19.—Within the last
few days there has been quite a
sprinkling of state politicians in the
city, among them ex-Senator Sim
Blalock, ex-Senator J. L. Hayes, ex-
Senator Cann. Representatives Steed
of Tjflor, Miller of Muscogee, George
of Morgan, Morris of Cobb and oth
ers. •/
Messrs. Steed, George and Morris
are candidates for the speakership of
the house, and they are making' a vlg
oious but friendly campaign for the
office.
Mr. Miller of Muscogee says that In
hid opinion Mr. Kills of Bibb would
have been the speaker had he been
elected to the house, and he thinks
that the people of Bibb county acted
very unwisely la allowing him to bo
defeated. He has no idea where Mr.
Ellis’ supporters will now go, but is)
of the opinion that they will be dir
vided out among the other earn!!-’
dates.
Mr. Ellis would have received the
three votes from Fulton had he been
elected to the house.
The politicians who are 'here and
those who have been in Atlanta recent
ly have been discussing the character
of the platform that will be adopted
by the state convention. There seems
to be practically a unanimous opin
ion among them that a local option
plank should be placed in the plat
form and put there so that it will re
main there for all time to come.
One of them Bad this morning: “I
want to see the prohibition question
settled in this way so that when a
candidate runs for office hereafter he
will have to run on a platform with
a local option in It."
This: same authority, said, also:
“And I want to see the conven
tion come out square and refuse to
indorse the Kansas GHy and
the principles) contained in it. The
platform adopted at the last national
convention contained a lot of issues
that are now dead and were practi
cally dead when adopted. We have
lost two national campaigns trying to
force Bryan and ‘lB-to-l’ on the peo
ple, and I am opposed to any more
nonsense on this line. Let us set
aside dead issfues and put live ones
into the platform, Issues that mean
something and will meet the views of
the people. I see that one or two
states recently in convention have
indorsed the Kansas City platform,
and 1 nope that Georgia will not make
the same mistake."
SULTAN IS DEFIANT.

Unless He Adopts Their Religion.
