Locally. there appears to be little de.
Yeiopment In the postofIice, situation
There seems no longer any doubt but
that an appointment will be made. but
beyond this the slow process of Fede-
raj machinery has manufactured alb
solutely nothing upon which the genera
public may depend as reliable infor-
nation.
Both Mr.. II. Devereux Doyle and Mr..
waiter Sharp. candidates for the posi-
ton oil postmaster here, have EXPRESSED
themselves as confident. Both gentle.
men are admirably endorsed and are
making an unusually strong and ylgo-
rous fight. Some of Mr.. Sharp's friends
were in Washington not long ago and
returned in very high humor, but Mr..
Doyle is now In Washington, and. 1t Is
said. has received encouraging assur-
anceS.
In the case of Mr.. Sharp 1t Is possible
that the allegations to the effect that
he has spoken In very untomplimentary
terms of the President may have some
effect upon his chances for appointment.
Al any rate the matter has been called
to the attention of the authorities and Ii
being investigated. OF course If the re-
port is discovered to be groundless then
nothing will come of It,
Another gentleman Is receiving q good

may yet prove the strongest candidate
in the field. and that IS Gen. E. NJ

that he is not n candidate, 1t is known
That he would not refuse the Office and

MANUFACTURE OF ELECTRICAL-
LY-WELDED STEEL BARRELS.

A new method of making welded
steel barrels is now being carried on at
Uxbridge, England, under the Barr
beat STANCE patents. The body of the
barrel is rolled out of steel plate and
buckling is preYented by easing the
rolls at the ends. The rolls then bear
only on the centre Of the sheet passed
through them and thus extend the
metal there and there only, the sheet
remaining in its original size at the
edges. Under these conditions 1t shapes
itself into the barrel form as the rolling
proceeds and when removed only re-
quires its ends sheared straight in
special machine and to have its longi-
mdinal seam welded The latter oper-
alton is effected electrically by the Ber-
nados process, with which no skilled
labor is required. The bent sheet is
clamped with its opposing edges, some
one-quarter or three-eighths of an inch
apart a small fragment of steel is
placed over the opening and melted by
means of the electric arc by one man,
while another stands by to hammer it
as soon as ready. BY welding on sue
cessive fragments in the manner named
the whole joint is finally completed and
the cask is finished by adding its head
and its bung bosses. The heads are first
cut in a circular shearing machine, and
then corrugated and dished in a 400
ton hydraulic press. The dished end fits
inside the barrel edge, and a ring of
sheet metal three-quarters to one inch
wide is also placed around the head Of
outside The three edges Of this ring of
the barrel itself, and of the head, are
then melted together by the electric
arc. The bung bosses are also welded
on. These are steel stampings, and
being much thicker than the sheet
forming the barrel body, it is the prac-
tice, after the weld is finished, to
place a heavy mass of hot iron on TOT
of the work until the whole is cooled
down. A certain annealing effect Is
thus secured by which possible con.
| traction strains at the joint are avoid.

PRESIDENT SAINTS HUMILIATION


Germany had no regard whatever
for the dignity OF President Sam, OF
the republic of Hayt, and his minis
ter OF finance. Advices brought from
Port au Prince state that the German
warships steamed into the harbor
without saluting the forts, and sent a
note to the president, demanding the
payment OF $4,000 within four hours
for the outrageous treatment to which
Lueder, a German subject, had been
subjected The penalty stated for non
compliance with the demand that the
ships would open fire on the town inn
mediately. President Sam was not
many minutes in making up his mind.
He instructed his minister OF finance
to get together the required amount Of
money and take it out to the German
warships. When his boat reached the
side of the Charlotte an ordinary sea-
ladder was dropped but no word was
spoken to the minister of finance. He
made trip after trip up and down the
ladder carrying bag after bag Of gold
and depositing it at the feet of the Ger
man commander. The ladder was so
perpendicular that he could not carry
more than one of the heavy bags at a
time, and when he had finished his hu-
initiating task he was quite fatigued.
The Germans counted the gold and
dismissed him without ceremony.
While the Haytians are indignant
over the treatment accorded their rep
resentative, they are not more so than
the Germans are over the treatment
which they inflicted upon their fellow
countryman, and it Is safe to say that
in future the Haytian Government will
take good care to protect the subjects
of Emperor William from gross injus-
tice and ill-treatment.
A great nation like Germany gets lit
tie glory for coercing puny state like
Hayti, but there are times when the
little fellows have to be brought up
with a round turn, and this was one OF
them.
