According to the chairman. w. C.

the condition of affairs is something
shameful and unworthy of nation

New York is ninety -three high power
long range guns of eight ten and
twelve inches and in addition to these
we need 176 twelve inch steel rifle NOR
tars and 25 rapid fire guns. If the
whole of the manufacturing facilities
in the country were put to work now
it would take ait least three Years to
properly fortify New York Tt would
take at least seven months to make the
forgings for one gun. and the work has
not yet begun, and then it would re-
quire from six months to one year to
complete the defenses that are abso-
lutely necessary"

says. is almost useless. unless the tor
pedoes are protected by suns and flash
lights, which are lacking.

J. j. Byrne is wen known among rail-
road men in this city, having been con-
nected with the Santa Fe system for
several years. He held the position of
assistant general passenger agent Of
the AL & p. at san Francisco for some
time. and was transferred from that
point to Chicago as assistant passenger
agent of the c., S. F. & G. road. When
that road was consolidated with the
Santa Fe he was made assistant pas
senger traffic manager under W. r.
White. holding that position until Feb
ruary 1895. when he was appointed
general passenger agent of the South
ern California.
The selection of Mr.. Byrne as au-
ditOr is an economical measure. Tt is
the opinion. however, in railroad circles
in this city that this ARRANGEMENT is
but temporary. When Mr. Whitehead
was elected general auditor of the
Santa Fe it was thought that @. S. Sut-
ton Of this city would probably sue
ceed him 1T is rumored that a num-
ber of changes ia the auditing depart
ment of the system are in contempla-

A Debate at Leroy.

a Debate at Leroy.
Last summer, Senator James Dobie,
OF Tyner and Cashier G. ". Ryan, Of
this city, got to arguing on the silver
question. The result was an agree
ment Of Mr.. Ryan with Mr.. Dobie to
meet him some time during the ehmr
paign in public debate, Mr.. Dobie to
name the time and place for one meet
ing and Mr.. Ryan to name time and
place for the second meeting. Under
this agreement Mr.. Ryan met Mr..
Dobie at'ths leroy school house, on
Wednesday evening. '1h talking over

meeting Mr.: Ryan at any other time,
saying. he did not understand that to
be the agreement. ~ v!

to thelyillagers. Hon. Jos. Morrison,

SO interested spectators Mr.. Thos.
Donovan:w was called to the chair and
presided with grace and dignity.
Messrs. Ryan and Dobie spoke in
turn about forty minutes each and
then each spoke again, taking up the
time until about quarter to eleven.
: Both gentlemen, were gentlemen,
and the arguments on both sides were
interesting to the hearers and were
conducted with so much ability that
we think any audience would have
been entertained I and interested.
OF course any judgment of ours as to
the merits OF the speakers or theft
arguments would be rather out OF
place as the debate was one which
was the outcome OF q private arrange.

pr: Ryanfgave his side Of the ques'
tion III a logical, argumentative style,
which when the fact is remembered
that Nj. Ryan has never but twice
before attempted to speak to an audi
ence on any subject, did him great
credit.
A peculiar feature of the meeting
was the production at the close, of ar
imported orator. He announced that
he was from Colorado, that he was In
the employ Of the national commit
tee, that he had been sent to the
state committee at Fargo, that they
had sent him to the county seat al
Pembina, and the county committee
had sent him to Leroy to this debate

to address bis remarks to Mr.. Ryar

presume Mr.. Wilson'S sentiments are
like those of his party on this ques.
tion; the popullsts are prohibition

because he was good judge and held
the position and should not be turned
