GUNS FOR CRUISERS.

Captain ONea1 VIII ASK Congress 60
Provide For Them.
washington, Sept 20. = Congress
will be asked at its coming session to
make a large appropriation for the
manufacture of modern high power
guns to be installed for service on
board auxiliary cruisers of the United
States navy in time of war.
. Captain Charles O'Neil, chief OF the
bureau of ordnance, proposes to make
"a recommendation in his forthcom-
ing annual report that at least $780,
600 be appropriated for this purpose.
In the opinion OF Captain o'Ne.i this
sum is not too large to be authorized
at one time.
1t is estimated that 100000 viii
be required to equip with modern bat
terfes the % steamers now enrolled in
the government service as auxiliary
gress has followed for the last two
years In dribbling out appropriations,
is years must elapse before SUFFICIENT
money shall have been obtained to
supply the ships now subsidized with
the guns which their tonnage and
structural strength call for.
This period will, of course, be great
ly reduced If congress should adopt
Captain o'Neil's recommendation and
make an appropriation of 100000
each year Under the laws of the
United States. American vessels draw
ing subsidies, and foreign built YES
sells which have acquired American
registers are available for impress
ment into war service.

Madrid, Sept 20-In oficial circles
here the greatest secrecy is main
tanned regarding the United States

bound to cause great sensation In
Europe and to have the greatest con-
sequences for Spain. While not in
tending 1t, 1t is believed the action of
the United States has greatly facili-

sis and that there will be a reorganiza-
ton of the Conservatives under Gem

The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment viii undoubtedly insist on
our government making repara-
ton for the death of the Hungari-
ans killed at Lattimer, and then
the interesting question will arise
as to whether the men who were
killed were violating the laws of
Pennsylvania at the time. 1t is a
delicate question. The mere fact
that a sheriff has declared an act
unlawful does not make it unlaw-
full. The United States will be
placed in a very strange position
in asserting before a European
monarchy that in this country a
peaceful march of strikers over a
public highway is a crime which
renders its perpetrators liable to
the death penalty.

Pie HoeISfne Valley Said TO Have
Been Bought Along With the
q. q. 3 s. egottatIons Ponds
ing for the Connecting Links
in New Trunk Line.
Al rumor has been current IN this
city for day or SO. to the effect
that the Toledo and Ohio Central
system of which the Kanawha &
Michigan Ry., is a part had Sc
cured control Of the Hooking VAL
ley railroad and was negotiating
for the Charleston, Clendennin q
Sutton road.
Officials of both the Z. & NJ.
and the @. @. & s., in this city
profess to have no information on
the subject. The Hooking Valley
road is now in the hands of re-
ceiyer but no date has been set as
yet for the sale. The owners of
the 7. & o. @. system might easi-
ly have purchased controlling in
terest IN the Hooking Valley road
and put Il. into receivers hands
for reorganization, but whether
they have done SO or not is. OF
course, a matter of conjecture un-
til they choose to give it out.
BY the ownership of the Hook
ing Valley, the X. s. NJ, would
control formidable rival between
Gallipolis and Columbus, and by
the purchase of the G. g. & S., it
would secure all the business from
that road, part, at least, of which,
will 90 to the West Virginia &
Pittsburg road as soon as the @.
g. & S., is completed to Sutton.
Whether these reports are true
or not, it is known that negotia-
tions are pending between repre-
sentatives of a railroad enterprise
and the g. @. & S. Ry., for the
purchase of that road. Mention
has been frequently made in the
Gazette of proposed railroad from
Cincinnati to the seaboard, to come
through the Kanawha valley, &c
up the Elk and Cross the Allegha-
MES into the Virginia valley and
thence eastward to the seaboard.
Recently an eighteen million dol
lar mortgage was fled in Balti-
more by the projectors of this new
trunk line, who stated that fol-
much of the way their railroad had
been built, that there would be a
consolidation of existing lines and
only a few connecting links would
be required to give a good through
line.
1t is said that the railroad on
the north side of the Ohio river
between CINCINNATI and Ports
mouth, will be a portion of the
road, that connecting link viii
run from there to Gallipolis, that
traffic arrangements ill he made
with the K. & NJ, and q. @. & s.,
will be purchased. Another con-
Meeting link will be built from the
terminus of the g. G. & S., up the
Elk and over into Virginia, where
short line near Harrisonburg will
become part of the system.
By most people the scheme is
looked upon as visionary, but if
eighteen millions of dollars have
actually been secured to carry out
the project, something may yet
come of Charleston Gazette.

That, there will be great distress
in Ireland owing to crop failures is
undoubted, but there is hardly
anything to justify the impression
that it will approach the scope and
calamity of general famine. The
singular thing about the distress
mentioned by the English papers.
is that they were not predictions of
impending want by the watchful
ones who are always on the lookout
for matter of an agitating charac-
ter in Ireland, but that the warn
ing has come from the people in
