A SPECIAL TRAIN FOR SAILORS.
An Interesting Experiment by the Navy
DeDartment.

An Interesting Experiment by the Navy
Department..
y new thing is about to be done by the Navy
Department. A week from next Monday
special train carrying about $50 officers and
men needed to complete the crew of the new
cruiser San Francisco will leave New York On
next Saturday, all going well, they will take
their posts on board the vessel going into COM
mission the next day. This will be the first
time that the Navy has been able to transport
its men in this way, and the experiment will be
watched with interest. The Armyis authorized
to go over all land-grant roads free of expense
to the Department, the item of expense being
credited against the debts of the roads to the
United States, but the sComptrollers of the
Treasury have decided that the word "troops''
which occurs in the law precludes the Navy from
this privilege. The Pacific Mail Steamship
Company absolutely refused to take these men
to the lsthmus and thence to California, saying
that only ten could be taken at once through
the foreign territory. The chief of the Bureau
of Navigation negotiated with the railroads and
secured very favorable rates.

FRANCE RETALIATES.
Striking Feature of the New French
Tariff Bill.

A Striking Feature of the New French
Tariff Bill.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The new French tariff bill
which is now before the Chamber of De puties
contains one striking feature which has here
tofore escaped much notice. This is clause
which gives to the President and the Cabinet
full power to retaliate to as great extent as
they choose upon articles exported to France
by any country which discriminates against
French products, or in any way erects
barriers against French trade. This clause
is obviously mdoeled to meet the American
meat inspection bill and is intended as the
French answer to that measure. The French
press continues hostile to the adoption of re-
taliatory measures against the United States
because of the latter cOuntry's tariff legisla-
tion. Instead of speaking in favor of retalia-
tion the papers urge that mutual concessions
be made by France and the United States.
They seem to imagine that if the French govern
ment makes considerable concessions it may
gain reduction of the American duties on silks
and woollen goods

Bids for the Dry-Dock at Port Royal.

Bids were opened yesterday at the Treasury
Department for the construction of timber
dry-dock ut the naval station at Port Royal, S.
G. The bids were: Justin Mccarthy, of
Washington, D. c., $418,915; R. G.. Packard, of
New York, $491, 900; j. E. Sampson & Co., of
New York, S497, ,539; Carlos S. Stock brand, of
Charleston, S. c., 1896, 900. The award will be
made upon the recommendation of a naval
board, which will examine the bids and the re-
sponsibility of the bidders Although Mr..
Stockbrand is by far the lowest bidder, it is
believed he cannot obtain the contract, as it is
said he is Government official, occupying the
position of Superintendent of Public Works at
Charleston, S, G. This makes it likely that
Mr. Justin Mccarthy, of this city, will receive
the contract, as he is entirely responsible and
can meet all the requirements of the Govern
ment.

Semble for the purpose of draw
ing the republics of the world

fail TO commend itself most heartily to

of the broad patriotism. 1t will,
as trust, strike down the
barriers which separate nation from

bring the people of the world together
first, by commercial and as conse-

and deepen the brotherhood OF
men which has for ages been the
dream of great minds and the desire of
great hearts. 1t behooveS Us all in our
