The New Blockade OF Charleston

After careful study it has been decided.
we believe, hat the first event on this years
programme of practice for Ad-
miral BUNcE's squadron shall be a simulated
blockade OF Charleston harbor.
1t will be undertaken early next month.
when the squadron has been fully gathered
at Hampton Roads and made ready for n
cruise at sea. 1t will call into service, prob
ably, the battle ships Indiana, Massachu-
sets, Maine, and Texas; the monitors Puri-
tan, Amphitrite, and Terror; the armored
cruisers Brooklyn and New York; the
cruisers Charleston, Montgomery, and
Marblehead, and perhaps the Newark and
Raleigh; the torpedo gunboat Vesuvius /;
the torpedo boats Cushing and Ericsson
and the despatch boat Fern. 1t is said that
the role OF the blockade unners will be in
trusted to the Vesuvius and perhaps one
or two others. Possibly some notifications
may be made in the list before the manueu-
vres begin, and some vessels may be re-
quired for Cuban patrol service.
Many points of interest are suggested by
this plan. First, naturally, comes tho con-
trast between the blockade OF Charleston
today and that Of thirty-ive years ago, and
this, too, not merely in the ships and guns,
but in our own political condition, present.
ing, rs we now do, the spectacle OF a nation
united against any foreign foe in defence
of our flag.
Next comes a reflection on the value of
this form of drill, as suggested by Capt.
MAHAN's recent essay on the function of
b~lockading in modern warfare, with the
proper proportions OF blockading to block
aded naval strength.
Finally, 1t is we'll to note that these ex-
ercises will shift the North Atlantic squad

but the Ambassadors tears were not the

Mr.. BAYARD honestly believes that he grasps
with one hand the heart of the best people OF

sands of others. So true is this, that

BICYCLES for the Army.

The experimental trip covering ear
ly 1000 miles, from Fort Missoula to
ST. Louis, made by the Twenty-fifth
United States Infantry Bicycle Corps
in forty days is regarded as having
fully demonstrated the utility of the
bicycle n modern warfare. AccordiDg
to Lieut.. Moss, the officer in command
an avela age of fifty miles day was
made on the wheels in all sorts OF
weather and over all sorts of roads.
Lieut.. Moss says: 1.-The practical result
of the trip shows that an army bicycle
corps can travel twice as fast as
cavalry or Infantry under any condi-
lions and at One-third the cost and eff
fort"
When the use of the bicycle for the
army was first suggested the objection
was made that the wheel could only be
used over good, smooth roads, and that
it could not, therefore, be utilized for
any practical purposes. In the long
distance march just concluded by the
infantry bicy corps the usual equip
ments for long marches carried by cav
alrymen were strapped on the wheels
and the route taken was not selected
with any idea of smooth road travel.
They took the highways as they found
them in Il country for the most part
sparsley settled where the agitation for
y
The wheels $1,000 the trip mucn better

would have been impossible to find the
same mum Der of horses capable of COW
ering the distance travelled in the same
length of time Even the best animals,
urged to such a rate of average speed,
would have been thoroughly exhausted
and unfit for use before the end of the
first week.
1t is not the first test of the wheel
that as been made by the army, but
it is the most exactlng and it appears
to have been so entir rely satisfactory as
to demonstI ate conclusively the utility
of the wheel as military vehicle anu
it may be assumed that the army bicy-
Gle, with such Improvements as will be
made in the future, has come to stay.

THE news from London about the
prospect as to an international bime-
tallic conference is extremely cheering
to the friends of true bimetalllsm. The
press dispatches state that the British
government has indicated a Willingness
to cooperate with the United States
and France in the holding of an inter-
national conference, and it is probable
that it viii be called to meat in the
United States. These are two great
points gained. FIRST, the holding of a
conference under the auspices of these
three great nations will probably in
sure the cooperation of practically all
the leading nations of the earth, and,
second, the holding of the conference
in the United States will give the peo-
pie of this country the detailed infor-

which will be of great value.

SUPPORTERS of the Wilson bill,
what few there are of them, are trying
to offset the evidence that the tariff re-
duction under that measure was the
true cause of the reduction in the
wages of the coal miners by asserting
that the importatiOns of coal under
that law were no greater than under
the Mckinley law. Bless you, it is not
always the quantity imported that af-
fects prices. 1t is the fact that article
produced by cheap foreign labor come
in at lower prices than they can be
produced with payment of good wages a,
home that does the mischief. Nova
Scotia coal, the moment the Wilson
law became effective could come into
the United States 30 cents per ton
cheaper than it come in before, and
England markets the West Virginia
coal, which had been carried up to tina.
time at such a narrow margin of profit
that it could no longer find market
there in competition with the reduced
rates of Nova Scotia coal. AS a result
the West Virginia coal went west into
competition with that of the Mississippi
pi valley, coal war and traffic war
followed ana cut down the wages OF
the miners to just about the amount of
the reduction of the duty by the Wilson

MINING EXPERTS.

The ''yellow kidd class of journals
are fond of casting slurs at and ridicul-
ing mining experts, such as biologists,
Psychologists, mineralogists, metallur
eists and assayers, as though technical
knowledge in these lines were detri-
mental to the prospector. Their favor
tie way of doing this is by citing the
discovery of valuable mineral deposits
by a nov ce in some secluded spot in an
extensive region through some part OF
which an expert has Travelled. The
fact is that men equipped with such
knowledge rarely penetrate into in
hospitable wilds to prospect for the
precious metals; and even if one such
should do so he is no more liable to
stumble upon rich outcrop than any
one of the several thousand inexperi-
enced prospectOrs exploring the same
region-the only difference being that
the inexperienced might pass by a
valua Bile deposit because the precious
metal was not visible in it's native
form, whereas the expert would
recognize it in its various DISCUSSES.
Expert placer gold miners who had
ne,er seen silver ore in any of its
forms were washing out gold under
the groupings OF the great Comstock
lode in Nevada, when a Mexican cow
boy who knew the black sulphuret OF
silver when he saw it came along,
watched the process for few minutes
and then told the miners they were
washing away 500 worth of silver for
every S lin GOLD they were saving. 1t
was this MeXican's knowledge of one
of the most common DISCUSSES of the
white metal that led to the opening up
of the Comstock lode, which added
hundreds of millions to the wealth of
the world.
A man familiar with the gray car
Donate disguise of plumbiferOus silver
ore, passing along California gulch I'M
der the brow of the Leadville noun
tain in Colorado, saw the gold placer
miners doubling up from claim to
claim to assist each other in rolling
out of the way huge sandstone" bould-
ers rich in silver and his knowledge of
the character of the rock led to the
discovery of the very productive mines
Of Leadville.
