Deep Water Channel to Ship Island
harbor.

The following special from Wash
iugt1n, dated February 3D. says:
The report Of Major VIM. II. RoS
sell, who had charge Of a survey Of
ship Island lIarbor in the Mississippi
Sound, to determine the most practl-
cal route from that harbor for dcep
water channel leading from the main
land to the coast Of Mississippi, was
to-day transmitted to Congress by the
Secretary Of War. Major RoSscil dis
CuoScs the merit Of four localities on
the mainland in considering the Ques-
tton Of the most practical route for
the channel contemplated,
The points considered are ~ mouth
Of East Pearl river, L2l Gulfport, (3l
Biloxi and a. mouth of Pascagoula
river He states tuat It'll praCtlcablc
to drcdge a channel to any one Of the
places mentioned, but in his opinion
the most practical route is the one
leading to Biloxi The estimated
cost Of a channel 300 feet and % feet
deep is 1912, 800,
| The cost OF maintenance Will be
about $4,000 annually He concludes
that the interests involved viii no,
justify the cost Of the improvement.
Col Hams, the division engineer,
concurS in this opinion.

THE ARprrRATIoN TREATY.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations has made two amendments to
the Arbitration Treaty, which will re-
move all objections to it, and will report
il to the Senate with recommendations
that it be ratified in this shape. The
first of these amendments reads:
No question which affects the foreign or
domestic policy OF either of the contracting
parties or the relations of either with any
other State or power by treaty or otherwise
shali be subject 90 arbitration under this
treaty, except by special agreement
This makes sure that the Monroe
Doctrine shall not be considered as sub.
ject to arbitration. Upon this the mem
bers were unanimous.
The second eliminates the name o.
the King of Sweden as the fifth member
of the Arbitration Commission. The
only vote against this was that of Sen
ator Gray, of Delaware.
The vote on the ratification of tn,
treaty as amended was 6 to SENATOR
Sherman, Frye, Davis, Cullom, Lodge
and Gray in the affirmative, and Sena
tors Morgan, Daniel, Cameron, an'
Mills in the negative. The division wa

rnE SONS OF VETERANS.

The Sons of Veterans are responding
splendidly to the efforts of The Ma.
TIoNAL TRIBUNE to build the Order up.
They show conclusively that their hearts
are in the work, that they recognize their
grand opportunity, and are ready to do
everything possible to improve it.
Now is the time to 60 to work in
earnest. The Sons of Veterans have
passed through the Winter Of their
discomfort, and the glorious Spring is at
hand. They have had all the troubles
and difficulties incident to new organi-
cation. They have had the intestinal
troubles that every young society must
have, as every young person must have.
They have had added to this the depress-
ing effect of the hard times, which has
borne very severely upon even the Oldest
and best-established Orders. They have
emerged triumphantly from all of these,
with good, solid membership of "a 900,
splendid foundation upon which to
build up a grand Order 100000
strong.
! We can do this, if We will all work
together. The letters which we publish
elsewhere show that the brothers and
comrades are animated by genuine de-
sire to do this work, and that they are
earnestly considering the best way in
which to do it.
Let every comrade of the GAR. give
his best help. remembering all the time
that
Orr best friends are oar oacn sons.

the Ubiquitous and corruption-breeding
ad valorem system Of the Wilson Bill,
and substitute the specific rates Of the
Mckinley Bill. There will be COM
paratively little change beyond this in
the rating of the Cotton Schedule. In
the Pottery Schedule there will be a
general raise. Under the Mckinley
Bill this country produced about half the
pottery that we bought, but this pro-
portion dropped to one-third under the
Wilson Bill.

EX-SENATOR EDMoNDs, of Vermont,
whose opinions always command the
highest respect, is an intense adherent
of the Monroe Doctrine, and believer
in the Nicaragua Canal. But he be-
lieves that neither of these will be in the
least endangered by the ratification OF
the Arbitration Treaty. He holds that
these are matters Of high National
policy, and entirely outside the scope Of
the treaty, which deals wholly with
matters arising between the citizens Of
the two countries.

PERSONAL.

Col. James s. Casey, god U. s.. has been placed
on the Retired List of the Army on reaching
the age-limit of GA years. He was private in
the 7th N. VS. NJ. until June, 1861, when he en-
tered the Regular Army as Second Lieutenant.
He was brevetted Major in 1865 for gallantry
at Fort Steadman, Va, and as Lieutenant-
Colonel in 1890 for conspicuous bravery while
leading his command in successful charge
against superior number of Indians strongly
posted at Wolf Mountain, Mont. during the
Winter campaign of 1s7657 For the latter
action he also received medal of honor.

been bestowed upon him.

THE SERVICE PENSION.

We are trying to give every comrade
in the country a hearing on the pension
question. Owing to our limited space it
is utterly impossible to print all the let
tiers in full which we receive, much as we
would like to. They are all good. and
they all contain ideas which interest and
benefit the comrades. But to publish
them all in full would take paper
several times the size of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE.
The best that We can do is to print a
sentence or two from each giving the
writer's dominant thought. This will
give the comrades everywhere an idea
as to how their comrades throughout the
country are feeling, and we hope that
they will be satisfied with this.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Jan. 81 you invite further discus.
sion of the Silver question.
There are many of our comrades and
others who would like to hear clear set
ting forth of facts aud reasoning on this
subject.
Instead of asking you one question at a
time, as requested, will ask you several,
and you can take them up one by one as
they are numbered:
1. Please tell us. Would it be possible to
keep silver on q parity with gold If we mad
free and unlimited coinage?
2. What relation has the present Gold
Standard to the Silver question, and what
part it plays, if any, as to the hard times!
3. If we had free and unlimited coinage,
would it give us financial relief?
4. Have we now rs much silver as we can
use coined?
S. How did the so-called crime of 1873
affect silver; and is its purchasing power
curtailed?
G. Some say that this Free-Silver ques-
ton is all "blow," and that we now have
the best financial system the world ever
produced. How is it?
Z. Have we got as much money-gold,
silver, and paper-per capita as we ever
had; and have we enough to answer all the
ends of business ?-H N. YOUNG, IS Pierson
street. Coldwater, Mich.
1. No; not until the production of
gold reaches a parity with that of silver,
which it now promises to do.
2. To-day, owing to the vast increase
in the production of silver, without a
corresponding increase in the production
of gold, holders Of silver will give nearly
80 ounces of silver for one Of gold,
where formerly they would give but 16.
This has nothing to do with the hard
times.
8. No; decidedly, no.
4. More than we can use, or the peo-
pie will take.
Y 5. Not the slightest in any way.
6. Our financial system, like every
other human institution, could probably
be greatly improved. Just how to i'm
prove it is quite another question, and
upon which there is wide difference Of
opinion.
Z. We have not quite as much money
in circulation as in 1892, when the cir
culation reached the highest point ever
attained in the history of the country
s24.44 per capita. Jan. l, 1897, the
circulation was s22.87 per capita In
1865 the circulation was S20.57 per
capita. 1t was really not so much as
this, because the paper dollars upon
which the figures are based were worth
much less than 81. We seem to have
more than enough to answer the needs
of business, because money is piling up
in the banks, and never could be Dor.
rowed so cheaply as to-day.
