Savannah, Dec. 21.—John M. Egan, until recently president of the cen tral railroad, returned today from a trip to the west. He visited St. Louis among the other places. In speaking of the exposition, Pres ident Egan, says: "Because of the great advances that have been made in agricultural and mechanical lines, the St. Louis expo sition will be of evqn greater interest and educational value than the Chi cago world's fair. "Georgia should by ali means be rep resented by a building at the St. Louis and every county in the state should exposition, but more than this, each have a representative there, whose duty it would be to study exhibits oi an agricultural and mechanical nature and cm returning travel through the counties of the state explaining to the farmers and oothers in just what way they can profit by what the'.r rep resentative saw.’’ EMPEROR MAKES THEM ANGRY.

The company quietly folded its tents Sunday, and Sunday night, each mem ber delighted, took th etraln for Flor ida, where the carnival is booked to play this week. Besides all the trouble that the masagers had here they also came out two or three hundred dollars to the bad and one or two of the shows was dis banded here. Manager Berger, to a News report er, said he found a number of good friendly citizens here, who seemed to have a little sympathy for people in trouble, “but I have never, in all my experience and I have been iu the car nival business for years, received such treatment as I did in Brunswick, and it it had not been for one ur two kind hearted citizens who helped me i think my whole company would have been compeileu to quit business in Bruns wick. "When I came to Brunswick i die not expect toi make money, for the simple reason tnat the carnival had not been thoroughly auvertised in the surrounding country, but as I had an open week, I thought I might be able to clear eqpenses here, but I can hon estly state that I am two or throe hun dred dollars loser. ‘•You may tell the people of your city that they will never hear from the Berger Carnival Company again. “To these who assisted me I return my sincere appreciation and thank God that you have a few sympathetic people in your pretty little city.” PRESENTS FOR ROOSEVELT.

'Mill OF WATER ON THE QCMULGEE f People of Macon Will Soon Establish a '22SJ* Steamer COL.

The fallowing from the Macon Tele graph cf yesterrday will be of inter est to the people of this city in partic ular and to points along th Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers in general: To tho Editor of Tho Telegraph; During the past twelve months the navigation oommitti of the Chamber of Commerce, com; ised of seven of the largest shipper . and most patri otic and public-spi ited men in the community, have be tn working to se cure a li.ie of stc, aors from M- .con to Brunswick. TANARUS! sy have wo.

James B. Quinn's report to tne war department yesterday I ilnd inis sentence; “Between these two obstructions (meaning the sand shoals opposite Central Perk and Mansfield farm at Macon and the rock shoals above HawkinsviUo) the river has am ple depth.” Id another portion of Col. Quinn’s report, which has not yet been print- ed in the newspapers, appears a state ment that "the project depth,” mean iug the depth which the government ' seeks to secure all the way from Ma j con to the Altaniaha, is four feet. If [ the river has "ample depth” between jtie obstruction at Macon and those at I fjawkinsi Die, it must be that “ample depth” moans “project depth," or four !foet of water that is already between 1 those points. Col. Quinn’s report shows in anoth er part, not yet published, that the snoals at Hawkinsville have been cut out almost half way across tbe river, aad the steamboat men say that the only difficulty steamers experience in crossing there now is caused by the awittuess of the water as it pours through the opening that has heenj made for boats. „ It wilx be seen, therefore, that the only reisom the river has a two-foot "carrying depth froom Macon to ILaw xinsvillf in extreme lowwater” as you jnoted yesterday, is that the sand saoals it Macon obstruct the channel for aboi t three miles and for that dis tance lie depth Is only two feet. As a mule can carry only as much load on i wagon as he can draw over tbe steep est hill x-tween the starting point and Jestinatcn, a steamboat's draft must be governed by the shallowest point over which it will pass. The shallow est pla< c between Macon and flaw lunsvilb is two feet. This place Is oa the ijose sand at Macon. It is not enough to prevent navigation even in extreme low. water, but it constitutes the controlling depth, to which Col. Quinn eferred. If, as some might t link, Liere is only a two-loot depth all along between Macon and 1-law liinsville, the naviga on committee of tie Chamber of Cos meree would be v asting tHeir time n I energy in work i:ig for navigation, ; I congress would be wasti-g the peoi is money in try ilg to improve th- river’s coud- ion. lortunax-y there i a much gr< iter depth.

RUSSIA IS MM ABE DEFIANT j [Tritons Think Czar Ha3 Overstepped the Bounds 10 RIJLCT THE LAS! NOTE Reply to Proposals it Unsatisfactory Report That an Ultimatum Has Bieen Sent to Russia by Ja pan is Discredited. London, Dec. 21. —Router's Tele gram Company has learned that con siderable anxiety exists in the best informed circles of London regarding: the possible outcome of the situation •a the tar east. Fears are, it is said, expressed that the Russian govern meut may have over stopped the bounds rhich would make a continuation of peaceful negotiations with Japan pos sible. It may fie regarded as quite certain, it asserts, that Japan will aot accept the principles of the last Russian note which are alrogether tt variance with Japan's mam con tentions and tnat Japan s reply must necessarily fie cast iu this sense. Apart uoiu tne delicate stare of tba negotiations between tile two nations Renter says it is also known that Rus sia iu assuming a more defiant atti tude, and tne ouuook utay be rettarued us more gloomy mau it hitherto has need, utuougu it cannot be said tnat me resources ta a .pin many nave been completely exnausied.

While the knowledge of the legation on the. situation leads to the beiifef that the senuiiig ot an ultimatum is improbable the prospects of war are evidently increasing. Th British le gation some days ago received a tel egram indicating that war was possible and the Japanese legation is oiliciia ly informed that Russia's recent re ply to the Japanese proposals was uu odiistaotury.
