TO DEFEND NEW YORK.
Building of Powerful Fortifcati ons
Costing $1O,OOO,oOO to be Com
rneneed.

New York, July 1.-The Morning Ad
vertiser this morning says: Within a
few weeks will be commenced one of
the most gigantic operations in the
history of the war department Forti-
fications more powerful than those ex-
listing anywhere in the world will be
built at Fort WadsWorth and Sandy
Hook the cost of the work being about
$4,000, 600.
But this is only a beginning to place
New York in a position to defend her
self against foreign foes. Construction
will be continued from time to time I'M
til the fortihcations outlined by the
elaborate plans have been completed,
and when that is done the total cost, it
is said will have been about $50, 900, 600
At Fort Wadsworth the new fort will
extend a mile south of the present bar
racks. extending almost from Fort
WadswOrth to South Beach. In this
tract of land will be built q continuous
line of forts, mounting % guns of huge
dimensions in all. Here also it is in
tended to build a torpedo station and
observatory.
,The work at FIT. La Fayette will not
be so important. Only Is guns will be
mounted there, but they alone would go
a long way towards protecting New
York from harm.

TO HAVE A NEWSPAPER.
a Spanish Daily on American Lines
to be Started in Mexico City. .

Mexico City, July 1.-The war depart
rnent has been reorganized on a more
economical and efficient basis which
takes effect tomorrow. The Spanish
colony in Mexico proposes to raise
ships and will cooperate to this end
with Spanish residents in South Amer
lea.
1t is announced that metropolitan
daily paper in Spanish, modelled on the
American plan, will be started here soon
amply backed by local capital. It will
give special attention to interior Mexi-
can news.
It is reported the government has de-
termined from July 1 to withdraw it's
aid from a number of small papers
hitherto dependent upon it, and there
is a fiutter in many newspaper offices.
There probably will be a journalistic
overturn here and be less papers, but
larger and of better quality. There are
now 2 daily papers in this city.

about half way between Chicago and
Springfield.

for Chicago would see the conductor Of
the St Louis train at the meeting
point and give him the bunch of tickets
he had taken up from passengers to
Chicago.
The conductor of the St. Louis train
arrived in Springfield at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon, it is said, would hand over
the bunch of tickets to the ticket seller
in the Springfield Office, and he would
sell them again to passengers for Chi
cagO on the evening or night train. The
tickets, although used twice, were good,
for the reason the stamp of the ord
day limit was good.

One of the Best Political Guess
ers of Kansas,
Says TrOutman's Chances Are
the Best for Nomination.
1TorriITs Strength Now About Ex-
hausted-About All the Counties
Favorable to Him Have
Elected Delegates.

William Higgins of Topeka" is reg
9stered at the Copeland and is circula-
ting around among the delegates to the
league convention. To a State Journal
reporter he said:
Il think that Troutman will get the
nomination for governor on the RepuD-
UCan ticket; he will make the strongest
candidate the party can put up TINS
year. Mr.. Potter is a good man and
has not shown all his strength yet; he
will go on getting more delegates till
the convention.
while the Morrill, fellows are 'cussing
Peters, Just at present, and perhaps
there is something a little irregular IN
the way he got in the race, still there
is no doubt that he is in the race and
will cut some figure at the convention.
He CPeters) ought to be able - get
most of the Seventh district
But Mr.. Higgins, you are not lesv-
ing very much for Governor Morrill,
yes I am, Governor Morrill, is in the
Head now and will probably go into the
convention with more votes than any
one else, but he will not have enough
to nominate him. And Peters will not
go TO Morrill,, nor will Morrill, go to
Peters, while either Morrill,. Peters or
Potter can so to TroutneH as he has
treated them all very nicely
while I have not been in close touch
with Troutman and the lines have been
drawn at times between US on some
questions still I recognize that he is a
good man and will be a strong candi-
date and hope to see him nominated
and elected
Mr. Higgins also said:
1.-The complications in which Peters
has placed hlmSelT before the honest
and fair-minded men of Kansas makes
it impossible for Leland to secure his
nomination. -
Mr.. Higgins conceded that Morrill,
made gains last Saturday, but said:
Every county in which Morrill, dele
gates were elected was in MorrilPs Ole
congressional district except Geary
Corey and Montgomery. George CIarh
carried Geary, and in Montgomery il
was the fight on Senator McTaggart
that helped Morrill, out. In order tC
