Laying of the Corner stone.

Nashville, Oct, S.-This was a gala
dav in Nashville. Flags flying, decor
ations in evidence and bands playing
drew immense crowds into the streets to
witness the immense procession of citi-
zens and military companies marching

to participate in the dedicatory exer-
cises and the laying of the corner stone
of the Art Building. Visitors and mill
itary companies from all over the State
attended, and the Indiana Editors As
ISOLATION delayed their departure for
Chattanooga to witness the parade. The
day was clear, but slightly cold, though
this did not prevent an immense at
tendance, moro than 5000. President
]. w. Thomas, of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis Railroad, made the
opening speech. He was followed by
Gov. Turney, then Mrs. ]. w. Thomas

lowed by Hon. Josiah Patterson, of
Memphis, William Rule of Knoxville,
]. B. Keeble of Nashville, and Con-
gresham James Z. Washington. Tho

TO SURVEY THE cHEsArEAKE.

The Superintendent OF the Coast and
Geodetlc Survey has written a letter to
the Mayor OF Baltimore. imprcssing
upon the officials of that city and the
people of Maryland, the need Of new
map of the Chesapeake bay. THE rea-
son stated" says the Baltimore Herald,
| for making q resurvey of this part
OF the coast are altogether convincing,
and 1t is n matter In which the COM
mercial organizations Of Baltimore and
the Maryland delegation In Congress
should take an active interest
1T appears" remarks our contempa-
rary. that the last survey of the Chcs-
apeake coast lines and the soundngs of
the channels were completed in 1858
The map then made Is Inaccurate as to
many details, and numerous calls have
| reached the authorities In WASHINGTON
for an official correction OF the currents:
and geodetic features of the shores un,,
inlets OF the Chesapeake and its trIbu-
tarieS."
The Herald is Of the opinion that there
are two important reasons why This,
geodet survey should be immediately
undertaken-the Chesapeake bay t.; not
only great highway OF commerce, but
it is one of the points which a foreign
foe would naturally seek for naval
operations. In the war of 1912 IT we,
hit upon as the chief theatre of activity
by the British fleet, and in case of war
it would be so again. Therefore, Il,
holds that the work "ls demanded IN
the interest of commerce and in that of
naval strategy and coast defense" The
superintendent. In this letter, urges the
| Importance OF re-survey of the bay.
and the reasons urged carry with them
the force of his convictions.
