THE SENATE And THE NEW NAVY.
Only One New Cruiser Provided
For in the Sill.
The Department Busy aud the shipyartls
Full of Vessels in Course. of Construc
tion-Senator IIiscock Did Not Know
the difference Between Navy Yard
and IL Dry Dock.

WASHINGTON, Feb. o.-lSpeciall-
Senate confcrees were appointed to-day
on the fortifcation bill, and the naval
appropriation bill was then taken up.
Mr.. Hale took the floor and said that
the appropriations for tho running ex-
penses OF the navy department (aside
from the construction of new ships)
were between 100000 and 500, 900 less
than tho appropriations for last year.
1t was one Of the good results of build
ing new ships that expenses which
were formerly made on old wooden
ships had ceased, and expenses of the
bureaus in regard to that kind of work
appropriated S3l, 1854, 0UU. The large
items were for carrying out of contracts
on vessels heretofore authorized by
Congress. As compared with the esti-
mates, the bill appropriated 81 ,77O, 600
less.
The only feature Of the bill extend
ing the work of building up tho navy
was the provision for one fast sailing
protected cruiser. Tho committee On
naval affairs had considered whether it
would not be desirable to report an
amendment increasing the number OF
new ships; but, on deliberation, it was
thought not advisa bic to seek to add to
the House proposition. In view of the
fact that the Navy Department was
hlled with work on ships already author
lied and in course of construction and
that the yards Of builders were fully
employed, the Secretary of the Navy
himself had thought that wisdom die
tated that he should not press for any
more new ships: and so the bill had
been taken as it came from the House.
Two main items of increase reported
from the committee on appropria tons
were for two dry docks -onc in South
Carolina and one on the Pacific coast.
The next amendment reached was to
insert paragraph appropriating $780,
600 to continue the construction OF the
timber dry dock at the coaling station
at Port Royal, $. c.; agreed to without
question.
Tho next amendment was ono provid-
ing for dry dock on Columbia river or
on Puget sound.
Some amusement was occasioned by
an injury of Mr.. lIiscock's ms to what
difference there was bctw' Oh dry dock
and navy yard, Mr.. Halo suggesting
that the New York Senator had never
seen dry dock and Mr.. Blair inter
polated remark that the question of
dry docks on the Pacific coast might be
allowed to wait until tho United States
should be prepared to take possession of
the big naval establishment across the
boundary linc-meaning Esqnimault.
No action OH the amendment was
reached. Conference committees were
ordered on the pension appropriation
bill and on the army appropriation bill.
"A message from the President. with
correspondence relating to the conduct
OF Commander Reitcr in connection
with the arrest and killing of General
Barrundia. was presented and referred
to the committee on naval affairs.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. O.-TSpeciall-
Officers Of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company in this city say that
they have no intention of building
line from Front Royal to Baltimore, but
that they have three or four engineer
corps now in the field laying out line
from Front Royal, Va, to Washington,
ID. Z. The road will be made as nearly
as possible an air line, and tho work Of
construction will probably be begun
within two or three months. This ex-
tension to Washington is considered of
prime importance, as all Southern travel
tends to the capital. At Washington
connection will be made with the Penn
sylvania railroad, and by that line Bal
timoro will be reached.
by the organization of tho Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad last year, the
Norfolk and Western acquired that
property, and issued Norfolk and West
ern Railroad Company, Maryland and
Washington division. first mortgage
per cent gold bonds to the amount of
$40, 000,0 900. OF this SHIN 81 900, 600 was set
aside to construct the branch road 10
miles long from Front Royal to point
on tho Potomac, opposite the city of
Washington, and $500, 900 for the extern
sion ofa branch into tho city of Washing
ton and for terminal facilities. AS the
company has the money with which to
construct the Washington branch, there
will oe no delay after the location of
the line has been finally determined.
Officers OF the Norfolk and Western
expect great development of tho
of
railroad, especially after the construc-
ton of the Washington road. The
officers calculate that this year the
Maryland and Washington division
Shenandoah Valley road) will have
net income, after paying interest
charges, of seas, 900, or an amount
equivalent to more than per cent. on
the preferred stock issued in part pay
ment for the property.
BALTIMoRE, Feb. Speciall-A
petition addressed to Senator German
has been numerously signed by mer-
chants of Baltimore, asking that the
Senator give his cooperation toward
securing for the Norfolk and Western
railroad an entrance into the District of
Columbia, III accordance with tho bill
now pending in Congress. The petition
states that the Norfolk and Western is
entitled to much consideration, having
been instrumental in developing tho
territory it traverses, and tho signers
look with favor on its near approach to
Baltimore. The proposed extension is
to tap the Shenandoah Valley road, now
owned by the Norfolk and Western, at
Front Royal. and extend by direct
line to Washington. From there it
could have 4 connection with Baltimore
either by the Baltimore and Ohio or
Baltimore and Potomac road. 1t has
been suggested that that the Norfolk
and Western could secure an early en-
trance into Washington by etfcctiug
traffic agreement with tho Manassas
Gap and Richmond and Danville roads
between the points named. They pre-
fer an independent line, however, ind
will construct IL if arrangements can
be perfected.

The evolution of social types in Amer

figure than the summer giIl-the dar-
ling, the delightful and despair of the
susceptible male heart. Young, bloom
ing vivacious. and gay, she epitomizes
in her delightful personality all that is
most charming in the charming sex at
the most charming season. Her
happy fortune it is to exist only
when the skies are bright She is a
summer girl by virtue only of the year
and her life being both in the green
leaf. Accordingly at the seaside. in the
mountains, visiting a friend in the
country, or boarding at farm house.
she fits before US joyous, bright, care
less, with no thought but to be lovely
and to make the most of the bewltching
influences of idle hours in the warm
sunshine or under the tender rays of
kind, her day is short and she tastes of
every flower. Let her laugh while she
may, for presently comes the whitening
October wind to blast her fascinating
summer costumes, to drive her indoors,
and to metamOrphOse her into that sadly
uninteresting creature, the winter girl.
1t is much-disputed question at what
age the girl blossoms into the summer
girl. if, peradventure, she ever becomes
a summer girl at ail-for it is not given
to all girls to attain that happy COM
binatiOn of physical and intellectual
charms that go to the making of the
type of perfection under consideration.

The Tennessee delegates couldn't

the convention was over. They met in
a corner of the exposition building yes

mission work. They adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, which the conven-
ton of next year will be called upon to
indorse and put into effect:
Feeling the importance of educating the
young people of our churches in the subject
of systematic and proportionate giving. that
the kingdom of Christ be advanced through
out the world.
