NAVAL COALING STATIONS.
Secretary Herbert Expected to Fo
low the Practice of His Predecessor

Secretary Herbert Expected to Fol-
low the Practice of His Predecessor.
1t Is confidently expected that Secretary
Herbert In his annual report to Congress
will follow the almost unbroken practice
of his predecessors and strongly recommend
the prompt establishment of a number of
coaling stations in different parts of the
world. especially at points near the east
and west coasts Of the western continent.
Our present facilities of this kind are linn
tied to a small place OFF the coast of Lower
California and what may yet be a coaling
station at Samoa. Under a treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands the United States govern
ment Is allowed land on Pearl river for a
coal station. but far steps have ever
been taken toward locating it. Congress
has appropriated over 500, 900 for the sta
ton and the money Is available for use
but pending the settlement of the recent
troubles no surveys have been made and
the matter has been allowed to drop tenn
porarily. Naval officers more than others
appreciate the necessity of these islands
for station and insist it should be es-
tablished without undue delay.

The Gettysburg Dissertation,
From Harper's Weekly,

From Harper's Weekly.
Within the last few weeks a storm
of protests has broken upon the heads
OF those who are responsible for the
scheme of running an electric railway
over the famous battlefield of Gettys-
burg. 1t is thirty years since Meade
and Lee decided the issue between
the North and the South at that little
town, within seven miles of the Mary
land line. Since then the veterans of
the blue have regarded as holy the
scenes of the three days awful struggle,
and Gettysburg has become known
the Union over as the "American
Mecca" With reverence unappre.
ciable by the ordinary civilian the
veteran has journeyed back to it, and
standing bareheaded on some hallow-
ed spot, has recalled with mental vision
the awful carnage that swept from the
Round Tops to the Cemetery. The
imagination was not taxed greatly to
reproduce TIE scenes, for the field has
remained mainly as it was in 90, and
the conditions that existed then have
been preserved by the gratuitous ef-
forts of the Memorial Association,
aided by the various States that were
represented in the Army of the Poto-
mac.
The battle field of Gettysburg covers
twenty-five square miles, the first days
engagement having occurred to the
north and west of the town, and that
of the second and third days to the
southwark. 1t is over the second and
third days field that the electric rail-
way has run its desecrating track,
ploughing, hacking, blasting, and des-
troying everything that impeded its
progress, and shattering with wanda
listic completeness all the sentiment
that has hung over the blood stained
ground.
The trolley goes out the Emmitts.
burg road-that runs about midway
between Seminary and Cemetery
ridges, upon which the two armies
were stationed-to the Peach Orchard.
Here it turns to the left, and pursues
the narrow lane leading to the Taney-
town road. Just before reaching the
Wheat Field it defects abruptly to the
right, making for the Devils Den re-
gion.
The Memorial Association has from
the first opposed the electric railway,
and scorned their request for a right
of way over its land and avenues.
Consequently the trolley purchased
from private parties the necessary pri-
vileges, and wherever possible it has
run its route along the line of the
Memorial Associations land.

DENNIS WILL RECOVER
The Fourteenth Bridge Jumper
Is Badly Bruised.

The Young Irishman Wanted to Eclipse
Steve Brodie's Fsat-He Was Stimulated
by Drink-Under Arrest At q Hospital.
New YORK, July 5.-Dennis Mccarthy,
the young Irishman who jumped from
the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday, is reported
to-day as doing as well as can be expected
He is at Chambers street hospital, where
his trouble is registered as 'severe con-
tusions." His right side is one black and
blue bruise, where he struck the water,
and he has been vomiting quite a little
blood
He Is now under arrest As soon as he
sufficiently RECEIVERS he will be arraigned in
the police court and will no doubt, serve
a term ON the Island.
Mccarthy Is the fourteenth man to make
the jump. He eclipsed Brodie's feat from
the fact that he made his leap at about
half way between the two piers, where the
roadway is several feet higher than where
the boastful Steve went over.
Dennis had boasted to his friends that he
would beat Brodies record and we'll
primmed with liquor he rode on a truck
halfway across the bridge. Ha leaped on
the railing and went feet first towards the
water, turning over several times before he
struck. He was picked up by a tug and
landed In the hands Of the police on pier
", on the New York side.

He said that the Sherman act was q
compromise measure, and 1t was passed to
ave the country from q free coinage bill
that had been passed by the Senate By an
overwhelming majority. The Democrats
helped 1t psss 1t, and now they abused and
blamed 1t for all the financial woes of the

result would have been infinitely more
damaging to the country"

Isle that I will stand with them for a

will do.
"But the present dispute over the silver
question is Democratic party ISSUE Mr..
Cleveland, In opposing silver, is fighting
three-fourths OF his party"
''Will the Sherman bill be repealedf'
Probably so but before II is repealed
there are apt to be some warm expressions
Of opinion. i would not be surprised If
some Of the Democratic Congressmen and
Senators should consent TO the repeal Of
the Sherman act only on conditions that
the administration might not favor"

The Columbian Bell a Success.

The Columbian Liberty Bell was
rung for the first time at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon at the Clinton H.
Meneely bell foundry in Troy, N. Y,
the ringing being controlled by elec.
trical communication with Chicago.
The hour was chosen to correspond
with noon at Chicago and thereby
carry out as nearly as possible the
original programme modified on ac-
count of the delay in casting the bell.
The statement coming from Chicago
that the bell will be remelted and
recast because of flaw is denied by
Mr.. Meneely, who says that there is
not a word Of truth in it. The casting
was a perfect success, and the bell is
one of the finest ever made at tie
foundry.

The calling of congress in extra
session is already evoking gossip as to

plete reorganization is involved, with
many new members to take their

at arms, door-keeper and postmaster
are to be elected.
1t is generally concluded that
Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, will
again be chosen speaker and that
James Kerr, of Pennsylvania, will be
reelected clerk and Lycurgus Balton,

alarms and doorkeeper there will be
