as to what had taken place he said:
II told the Secretary that as no heavy
vessel has ever been docked at Port
Royal, g. c., the firm of WIN. Cramps
Sons could not take the responsibility oi
docking the Indiana there. Besides rep
resented to him that the Port Royal docl
has itself not yet been accepted by the
United States Government. Navig tion
In those waters is under the circumstances
not especially to be desired. Mr.. Herbert
recognized ut once our right to use ouI
own Judgment in this matter, since the
Indiana, not having been finally accepted
by the Government, is still our property and
any jeopardy of her safety would be en-.
tirely at our risk. Had the Indiana on
the other hand been accepted by the Gov
ernment, it would be the Governments
right and duty to take whatever steps
seemed best, including risks.
$50 it is settled that the new Gov
ernment dock at Port Royal will not re-
ceive the Indiana and this regret per
sonally on account of the disappointment
1t will cause to the good people OF South
Carolina, who are very much interested
and are desirous that the Indiana should
be docked ut Port Royal, not for any posi-
BILE gain but from a very laudable pride
and patriotism which we are all glad to
See. Congressman Elliot particularly has
taken an active part in the effort to get
the Indiana down there. He ia a very
clever and enterprising man, and i am
sorry on his account that we cannot go.
'Since we must go elsewhere for q dock

/ heard q peculiar explanation as to the
motives OF Senator Gray's now celebrated
third term interview and as it was given
by a prominent Federal office-holder 1t
may be worth repeating.
This official, who stands quite close to
the President, acknowledged that third
term was an impossibility, simply because
the American people had emphatically pro-
nounced against it. but added that he
thought Senator Gray was playing q very
good political game.
George Gray has political ambitions
said this official land having
long been the personal representative of the
I resident on the floor OF the Senate, he has
an idea that by some chance he might be-
come Mr.. Clevelasd's successor. By advo-
eating the third term he still keeps close
