Washington, Jan. 14.-At the meeting
Of the senate committee on coast de-
fenses today, General F'lagler, chief of
ordnance. United States army. submit
ted estimates as to the amount required
in addition to the appropriations made
for the present fiscal year for the run
ming of the Watervliet gun factory.
also as to the authority required to
make contracts for material during the
present fiscal year. His estimate for
the next fiscal year made July last for

General Flagler gave the committee
information as to progress of develop

stated that very little had yet been
done in this direction owing to lack of
sufficient appropriations. That the
plans of his bureau are fully prepared
for gun carriages and other appliances

to the extent of being able to supply Il
suitable disappearing carriage for the

now employed.
He strongly impressed on the commit
tee the necessity of providing for the
manufacture of 16-inch guns. which is
now fully apparent, although up to the
present time no appropriation has been
made for the production of one of the
proposed 16-inch guns. He strongly inn
pressed on the committee the import
ance of Immediately commencing the
construction of a type of gun of this
calibre.

THE WORLD OF business
Wall Street Review.

New York, Jan. li.-Higher prices were
the rule at the Stock Exchange during the
early trading. The improvement was due
to the better political outlook abroad and
the advance in American railway securi-
ties in London which followed intima-
tions that the Venezuelan dispute Is like

London houses were the principal buyers
at the opening and 1t was stated that the

pressure to sell, however, was OF insig-
niiicant proportions and the losses which
followed was confined to fractions except

SEA WITCHERY.

From the Chap Book.
Yon headland with the winklng footed
sea.
Beyond it. conjures shapes and stories fair
Of young Greek days; the 1.-THE immortal
air
Carries the sound of Siren-sOng to me;
Soon shall I mark Ulysses daringly
Swing round the cape, the sea-wind in his
hair;
And look! the Argonauts go sailing there.
A golden quest. shouting their god-like
glee.
The vision is compact of blue and gold,
or sky and water. and of the drift OF
foam,
And thrill of brine-washed breezes from
the west;
Wide space is in 1t, and the unexpressed
Great heart of Nature, and the magic
old
OF legend. and the white ships coming
home. Richmond Burton.

mann, % years old. of Union Hill, N. j..
died from blood poisoning following
amputation of the small toe of his left

his intention. however, fearing they
would restrain him, but two weeks ago
he procured butchers cleaver, and,
placing his left foot on a block Of wood.
chopped off his toe at the first joint.
After the amputation he carelessly
bound up the stump in piece of CLOTH

attention blood poisoning set in. He
suffered intense agony before his
death.
