SEND THE ATLANTA"
Naval oncsrs Discussing an Incomprs-
hensibls Order from Washington.

hensiDie order from washington.
New YORK. Oct 17.-Naval officers here
are discussing earnestly the order from
Washington which sent the Atlanta to sea
In her unprspared condition. The order
'was all the more incomprehensible to the
officers At the navy yard from the fact
that there were several other cruisers at
the yard that were fit to do the work re-
quired. IL was learned that first there
came from Washington dispatch asking
what vessels could be got ready, and how
ioon. A reply was sent that tho Benning-
ton had her machinery in repair, and was
all ready TO proceed, when the order came
to send the Atlanta.
Naval officers wondered; SO did Captain
Phillips, who knew that his ship was not
seaworthy at the time, that parts Of her
machinery were Ia the shops, and that it
would have to be replaced hurriedly and
without testing 10. The following is a
list Of the vessels at the navy yard Ben
nington, Concord, Philadelphia. Boston,
Kearsarge and Petrol. Any one of these
could have been sent except the Petrol,
which is repairing.
There Is another fact that occasions some
surprise among nautical experts. 1t was
known that the Despatch was aground.
aud that consequently n vessel, to be of
any assistance, should have light draught,
in order to approach tire stranded vessel
and yet the Atlanta, drawing twenty feet
and three inches, was sent, while the Ben
nington, that was all ready, draws only
sixteen feet Of water, being one Of the
lightest of the fleet.
Officials at the navy yard simply say
that the whole matter was done in Wash
ington, and that the commandant, Captain
Erben, had no authority in the matter.
Tho order from the navy department.,
"Send the Atlanta" was imperative.

A Boat Railway Invention.

A. b. Cass and w. A. Maddron, of this
city, believe they have invented the
simplest and most economical solution
of the portage railway problem. The
track is something like any ordinary
gauge railroad track with inclines at
either end projecting into the water. The
motive power is stationary engine at
tached to a sufficiently strong cable. A
train of light decked barges, ofconvenient
length, and coupled together like ordin-
ary freight or passenger cars, SO as to be
flexible on the inclines or curves is de-
signed as the accommodation for wheat or
other similar freights. Such freights are
intended for the holds of the barges,
under deck, while the decks will accomo-
date other freights that are not suscepti-
BILE of suffering from exposure to the ele-
ments. The barges are intended to be
foated on to heavy iron trucks which
run down into the water at the foot OF
the inclines and are drawn by the cable
and stationary engine to their destina-
ton at the other end of the track. The
'geometrical progressive" losses of wheat
by frequent handling that scared E. o.
Mccoy so much will be avoided. At the
end of the track the trucks will run down
into the water till the barges float when
they will be taken in tow by steamer
or tug and transported to their destina-
ton. An empty barge could be dropped
off at any landing where freight awaits
shipment and when filed could be taken
in tow by any passing steamer. AS only
learned members of the legislature know
anything about the practicability of such
things we have no opinion to offer. The
model however is now on exhibition in
the window of the CHRONICLE Office,
where it can be seen without charge.

Binger Hermann Says Settlers Can Pur-

Binger Hermann Says Settlers Can Pur-
chase 22O Acres.
In response to inquiries the following
letter has been received by Hon. w. II.
Biggs:
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10, 1891.
Hon. w. FL. Biggs:
My DEAR SIR: Your favor as to land
forfeiture is at hand and l have per-
sonally consulted with the land depart
ment on the subject.
You sav the local land officers decided
that YOU were not entitled to purchase
800 acres of land under the forfeiture act
unless the subdivisions lie contiguous.
There is nothing in the law to warrant
such construction. The legislative in
tent was to recognize the rights of claim
ants under r. r. company agreements
or license as near as possible as their
rights would, have been recognized by
the r. r. company. itself except that the
La fixed maximum limit to their
holdings. 1t was to leave this class of
people who acted in good faith and sup
posed the r. r. company would at some
time earn the land, in as good condition
as if they eventually acquired title from
the corporation. Now, under the r. r.
contract it was not required as / under
stand them, that the subdivisions of a
purchase should be contiguous. The
question for the land officers to decide is,
"What was your contract, agreement or
license with r. K. company? What
specific lands were embraced within such
arrangement Or what was your intent
as to making future purchase and what
did you take possession or pursuant to-,
not exceeding 800 acres?" The language
of the law is "That in all cases where
persons are in possession of any of the
1ands affected bv any such grant. under
deed, written contract, or license, or
where persons may have settled SAID
lands, they shall be entitled to purchase
the same in quantities not exceeding 800
acres" Yours Truly,
BINGER Hermann.
