Mrs. Shuman has now mounted l,92S
yards or 2ver one mile of canvas-m6king
five miles )f names written solidly, one
under the Other-77l POO in all. This is ex-
elusive of about 3jD JOJ names from Great
BritCin already mounted, making the to-
tai of l., l2l 200 actual names on the docu-
ment that will be submitted to President
Cleveland. Besides these there are hun
dreds of thousands of names yet awaiting
to be added to the long roll Nor will we
ever rest until we have 100000 actual
names, besides the present 100000 addi-
tional signers by attestation.
Though this is Il woman's petition it
should be noted that it is indorsed by
100000 men-some by personal sigma
lures, but most by the attestation of the
officers OF societies to which they belong.
Even from far off Ceylon come the sigma
lures of ~, 900 men.
The petition itself, not including the
number who attest their Endorsement by
the adoption of resolutions signed by their
chief officers, would measure seven and
one-half miles with one signature on each
line. If all the Endorsements were writ
ten out in the same manner the petition
would be fifty-three miles long The total,
counting men and womens signatures,
Endorsements and attestations, aggregates
seven and half millions.
1t is more than thirteen years since the
petition was written. If l had to rewrite
it should assuredly include the enfran-
chisement Of women among the requests
it specifies.

The movement to establish national
park at Appomattox is meeting with
much favor in Virginia and elsewhere. 1t
is virtually the place where the civil war
ended, and there is no finer instance in
military history of the meeting of two
great generals who were also gentlemen,
one to accept final reverse in a manly
spirit, the other to show equal nobility in
securing the fruits of national victory
without the slightest feeling of personal
triumph, A group commemorating the
grand simplicity of Grant and Lee in that
eliminating scene of the war would do
no harm TO the fame of either, or to the
pride of American citizenship.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-There is a great

the League of American Wheelmen,
which met in this city today, over the
place for the next annual meeting. The
contest is between Massachusetts and
New Jersey The result of the election of
officers is regarded as foregone conclu-
sion. The friends of Archie c. Willison,
of Cumberland, Md, says that he cannot
be beaten for the presidency. A E. Nor

for treasurer in the field, and George d.

that "our Republican friends turned over
TO us a bankrupt treasury and the as
signee has proved himself thoroughly in
competent to manage the estate" Fifty
per cent. of this statement is true. The
Republicans will show the other half to
be absurd when they take hold of the
estate and make it shine witt prosperity,
as they did on a previous occasion. The
treasury will be found all right when
divorced from a bankrupt party.

JAPANs NAVAL STRENGTH.
1t Is to be Increased by Two New Modern
Warships.


WASHINGTON, Feb 1S-The Japanese
seem to have solved for themselves the
question as to the relative merits of the
battleship and the cruiser which is now
agitating congress in connection with the
proposition to provide for the construction
of three new battleships. While their
cruisers, owing to superior strategy in
their management and great wariness in
attack supplemented by the indispensable
torpedo boat fleet, have managed to obtain
victories over the Chinese fleet in two
cases, the battleships Of the Chinese with
inferior management and personnel, have
given such good account of themselves
as to make it apparent to the Japanese
that if ever they hope to meet another
naval power in combat with chance of
success they must themselves possess some
of the great battleships.
1t is regarded as a foregone conclusion
that they will acquire the sunken Chinese
battleships Chen Yuen and Ting Yuen
Of the latter can be raised) by conquest.
But the Japanese government is not con-
tent to rest there, for advices received by
the navy department show that they have
placed contracts for building two great
ships that will exceed the best of our own
ships in offensive and defensive power.
One of the contracts has been placed with
the Thames Iron works, of Blackwell,
England, and the other with the Thames
Iron Shipbuilding company, of London.
The battleships will be of Is, ,250 tons dis
placement, $40 feet long by 73 feet beam.
An armor belt IS inches thick will extend
for 226 feet along the sides over the vitals
of the ships, which will be propelled by
engines Of 14,000 horse power and carry
each two 12-inch guns, ten 6-inch guns and
a great number of smaller machine guns
1t will require fully 5000 tons of nickel
steel Harveyized armor for these ships.

1T appears that at recent dairy exhibi.
tion in Pennsylvania a sample of oleomar-
garine-but not labelled as such-was
awarded the first premium over all the
many specimens of fine dairy butter in
competition. II was not until the award
had been made that the fact was disclosed
in regard to the charac Ter of the MIN
icry article There was, of course, no little
excitement and the judges were no doubt
excited and mortified at the exposure, but
the fact goes to show that the spirit Of
imitation is strong in the United States
and that counterfeiting, whether of
money, butter, drugs, chemicals and
many special articles of daily consump.
zion, is being carried on successfully to an
extent that would startle the commu.
nifty were all the facts made known.
where ignorance is bliss tbs folly to be
wise,' is an old saw and very truthful
one. 1t would be safe to assert that not one
person in fifty would be able TO detect the
difference in taste or color between speci-
mems of well made oleomargarine and
dairy butter, nor has science determined
chat the oleomargsrine is any less whole
some than the genuine product of the
dairy.
