LARoEsr DRY DOCK ON THE AMERI-
CAN COAST.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov 1S9T-The
Directors of the Port Arthur Dock and
Canal Company at a meeting nelu
October 25th decided to build at Port
Arthur the largest dry dock in the
country. This dry dock is to be capa-
BILE of holding vessels 500 feet long
and will be sufficiently large to con-
tain any two United States cruisers.
There is no dry dock on the gulf.
The nearest dry dock is one constructed
by the United States government at
Port Royal, S. G. There is dry dock
also on the Atlantic coast at Rio
Janerio, but it can only hold vessels
800 feet in length.
The building of this dry dock will
be q matter of more than national
Importance to shipping interests. So
far as its bearing upon naval matters
is concerned il will be remembered
that short time ago the United States
battleship Indiana, sustained serious
niuries. No dry dock in the country
was large enough to accommodate the
Indiana so she had to be taken to Hal
flax and the remarkable spectacle of
a United States naval vessel being
dry locked in British harbor was
presented Nobody knows what would
happen if war should suddenly be de-
clared and serious injury be sustained
by some of our large warships, which
might have to wait months before
proper repairs could be made in the
event of any injury to them, when by
the building of a large dry dock proper
care could be taken of them and they
could be put in fit condition in very
short time.
No facilities whatever, exist on the
Gulf for properly taking care of in
jured vessels or for scraping them and
repairing them properly. Small YES
sells are drawn up on ways but no
large vessels can be repaired at all
The building of this dry dock is a
private affair and is to be paid for by
the Port Arthur Dock and Canal Com
pany. It's building is simply in line
with the vigorous policy that has been
pursued by the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf r. r. in developing the facili-
ties for it's harbor at Port Arthur, it's
Gulf terminus, the Port Arthur Dock
and Canal Company being subsidiary
of the Kansas City Pitts
burg & Gulf R. r.

An Attack on Princeton.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 3O.-At yester-
days session of the Missouri Presby-
terrain synod, resolution was intro

bitterness and occupied the attention
of the synod for some time, until the
matter was finally ruled out of order

Lard From Lynching.

MANHATTAN, Kan, Oct 20. - One
hundred masked and armed men as
sembled in the outskirts of this city
at o'clock this morning for the pur-
pose of lynching Ike Warren. MUIR
derer of Sheriff Lard. They did not
proceed, because they were informed
by messenger that the Jail was
guarded by two companies of soldiers.
The mob expected reinforcements of
200 men, and intended to proceed with
the lynching, but on account of the
heavy rain their men failed to arrive
and they quietly departed. They had
been the victims of clever ruse by
the officers, as no troops were at the
Jail and only three men were on watch.

THE vIsIroRs WELCOMED.

The rivers and harbors committee will reach Birmingham this morning and will be the guest of the city Throughout the day and part of the night.
 committee on reception has been appointed by the Commercial club, con- sisting of some of the most prominent citizens of the city, and no pains will be spared not only to entertain the visitors, but impress them with the various ad- vantages possessed by Birmingham and this section of the south
 An itenerary has been arranged over the Mineral road, which will give the best advantages for seeing some of Bir- mingham's largest industries, coal and iron mines and also to draw some con eeption of the topography of the country through which the proposed Warrior canal will run.
 Birmingham recognizes the fact that much depends upon her to reinstate the former prosperity enjoyed not only by herself, but the state at large, in fact, this section of the south, and the one pur- pose aside from the contemplation of the building of a canal is to impress these representative men of the great natural advantages possessed by this section of the country, which can but result in much good. No visitor ever leaves Bir- mingham dissatisfied, but on the other hand, are astounded and pleased at the revelation both of nature and the me- chanism of man here depicted more grandly than at any other point in the world, and this, coupled with the hospi- tality of people determined to develop these resources invariably leaves an im- .pression that can not be forgotten.
 The State Herald, in behalf of the peo- pie of Birmingham, welcomes the rivers and harbors committee, and may they depart as others have done, feeling that their itenerary would have been incom- plete had they failed to pay their re- spects to the greatest coming manufac- turing city of the world

"EvANGEL" MANNING.

"Evangel9 Manning has bobbed up se- renely, after several months of apparent inocuouS desuetude.
 .- The "Evangel" appears this time in a very important role, and one which prom ises higher recognition than his friends ever contemplated when his name was sent abroad as the papa" of populism i'm Alabama.
 The Washington telegrams tell us that Mr. Manning is slated for third assistant postmaster general.
 It is probably unknown to but very few that MT. Manning is very much liked by Czar Reed It is told that the two statesmen first met about three years ago in the house of representatives. MT. Manning was attending upon the session and was sitting near an Alabama con gressman. He was espied by Speaker Reed who walked over and introduced himself to the young populist, stating at the time that he recognized him from tha pictures printed in the Washington papers. After a short conversation and hearty nand-shake, MT. Reed invited him to call on him at certain hour at his room. Of course, MT. Manning did not lose this opportunity to pay his re- SpectS to the great repuDllcan ieduer, dnu was promptly on time in making his call His report of the call was in effect that after few minutes he felt perfectly at home, and imagined himself with an old Alabama friend he had not seen in ssv- eral years; his next impulse was that he and MT. Reed were partners, and owned consderab b1e property in partnership; again, that this property was located in Washington and New York, and worth millions; again, that they had entered the political arena, and held two of the most important offices in the government. From that meeting on MT. Manning has had a warm friend in Speaker Reed, and several of his featuring tours in the north were made after consulting with MT. Reed, who aided no little in giving the young man considerable popularity dur ing those visits
 What MT. Reed now intends doing with his pet remains to be seen, but from distance it looks like the "Evangef" has aimed too high; yet 1t may enable him to count on ai good fat clerks place.

THE LATEST GOLD PROCESS.

The State Herald. in the interest of gold mining in Alabama, calls the at tention of operators, miners. capitalists etc., to the following now going the rounds of the press:
 The ore atomic process, of which much has lately been heard, is now stated to be in successful operation in West Aus tralia. The process consists in first crushing the gold-bearing quartz to Jumps of convenient size, which are then. in a closed chamber from which the air is excluded submitted to the heat of a furnace, to the action of water, and hydrogen gas. The sulphur In the ore is thereby eliminated, being driven off as sulphuretted hydrogen, and any oxide in the ore is reduced to the metallic state. After being thoroughly heated. the ma terial is suddenly quenched by the in lection of cold water This operation Is repeated several times, until the quartz is so softened as to be easily crumbled into powder by the fingers. The contents are then thrown into a tank, and the gold separated by washing. It Is claimed that in this process there is no loss whatever by, float gold" or by oxidation, but that every particle of gold in the ore is recovered. The amount of fuel con stunned in the operation is variously stat ed and will no doubt have a considera- hle bearing upon the comparative econo- my of the new process.
