and each man takes more than ordinary pains to make good job of his portion of the ships structure since the news of Admiral Dewey's great victory in Manila with his flagship, the Olympia, which was built by the Scotts.
 This pride of construction and the glory attending one of San Francisco's ships is the highest feather in Irving M. Scott 8 cap. He is very proud of the fact that it was in the vessel built at the Union Iron Works that Admiral Dewey convinced the world that the United States has navy of which 1t may be justly proud, and also that San Francisco's mechanics contri- buted their share in constructing a DOT ton of this navy.

 In the summer of 1896 he was on sea duty, aboard the flagship New York, under com mand of Admiral Bunce. He proposed, applied for, and started the system of sea duty for constructors. and was on duty at Newport News, Va, in connection with bat tleships under construction from the time of leaving the Brooklyn navy yard until June, 1897. He also proposed, organized, and conducted postgraduate course at the United States naval academy. This was special course of three years dura- ton, taking the place of sending naval stu dents abroad and completing American in- dependence of European assistance.
 Another recommendation MT. Hobson made that met with favor was that stu dents of construction be assigned to sea duty with squadrons engaged in operations. He applied for an assignment to duty on board the flagship New York and was or dered as he desired. In April of this structor for the fleet at Key West and was uTtCtHlS tHc WOIk Ol Iue naval station at that place.
 Prior to this he applied, with the indorse- ment of the chief constructor, and was nominated by the secretary of the navy for duty at the seat of the China-Japan war, but his nomination was revoked at the last moment because of opposition to detailing constructor to such mission.
 The Mexican government in December, 1896. nominated MT. Hobson to represent 1t on commission of experts to conduct trials and pass upon the Mexican dispatch vessel Donate Guerra, which had been built under contract at Philadelphia. Prof. McDermott, of Cornell. represented the contractors at these trials, and the third member was Lieutenant Commander Buck ingham. who was appointed by the secre- tary of the navy.

RICHMOND p. ROBSON
 THE HERO OF SANTIAGO
His Name Is Upon the Lips of Every American Citi- zen and All Alabama Is Proud of
 Her Gallant Son.

The name of Richmond P. Hopson was upon the lips of almost every citizen of Birmingham yesterday and his heroic deed in sinking the Merrimac in the entrance to the harbor of Santiago de Cuba was the topic of conversation in all quarters of the city.
 "Hobson's father is one of my oldest ard best friends" said Captain Reuben F. Eolb yesterday, "and I knav the young msn very well. As all of the papers have stated he was a very industrious oey and youth, not caring much for the sports aud pastimes that boys are so fond of. but spending nearly all of his time in study. He was only r years of age when he i.rad- uated at the Southern university at Greens boro, and he is the only southern boy since the war who has graduated at the head of his class at Annapolis, which .,e did in 1889. He is now just about ten ycsrs ahead of any of his class so far 3s his ro- sition is concerned, not considering the big promotion which he is to receive from the government When Hobson returned ffcm his course of study at the Paris school of naval architecture he had achieved such a reputation as a naval constructor flat he was offered $10O00 year by the Cramps. the famous Philadelphia shipb ilders. to resign from the navy and accept a position fused and kept his position as an instruct or at Annapolis.

INITIAL TRIP
 OVER RETENTION
Of West End Line to Powderly ---Guests ofBirminghamR'y
 and Electric Company.

The Powderly extension of the West End electric line of the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company was opened yesterday under most pleasant and enjoy able circumstances.
 In response to a formal invitation from Vice-President Robert Jemison and Gen. eral Manager J. B. McClary, about 15O of the leading citizens of Birmingham boarded two of the company's large excursion cars at the corner of Second avenue and Twen- teth street at 4 o'clock and a trial trip was made over the line
 When Powderly was reached a large crowd of citizens of that thrieving little suburb were on hand to celebrate the ar rival of the first electric car with lusty cheers.
 The party dismounted at the end of the line and an enterprising photographer took a snap at the group.
 The return trip was without incident un- til the juncture of the extension with the West End line was reached, when the two cars were stopped close together and an informal meeting called to order by Hon. J. B. Gibson, one of the democratic nomin- ees for the legislature.
 Chairman Gibson recognized J. Asa Roun- tree, who offered the following resolution:
 Whereas, the Birmingham Railway and Electric company has shown it's confidence in Birmingham and her suburbs by the opening of the Powderly and other lines; therefore
 Be it resolved, first That congratulations be extended to it and the wishes of this party for continued success in it's great work of development.
 Second, That the thanks of u C party be returned to the able general superintendent, J. B. McC]ary, and other officers of the company for courteses extended this even ing.
 The resolutions were unanimously adopt ed.
 Judge A. A. Coleman was called upoh, and in a few words expressed the apprc- citation of the people in the enterprise of the company.
 Superintendent J. B. McClary was called, but his modesty forbid a reply except to thank the party for the kind words of ex- pression.
 Delightful refreshments were served aboard the cars and were greatly enjoyed by the guests, who partook freely.
 The trip back to the city was made on schedule time, and the occasion VIII te plea antly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be among the guests.

Hobson. His thoughts seem to be with her always. He has not visited his home in Greensboro for two years. He was SD poinIed to Annapols by Representative 1ljl- arr A. Herbert, afterward secretary or the navy, His parents were both North Caro- linians where they were married. but they moved to Greensboro just after the war, V vhere Hobson was born"

Among the best of his work during this time was the Report on Information Gathered Abroad by Students" in six volumes, and Report on Disappearing Guns A1oat," " which were afterward published in the Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute" and discussed by experts ard authorities in this country and abroad
 His Naval Writings
 He first attracted the attention of the naval authorities by a raper of polit call naval-m litary character on "The Situatic n nd Outlook in Europe" which was was published in the Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute" in January, 1 .5. His views were recognized as being of es- pecal value, and the paper was discussed all over the world.
 He also confirmed the good opinion as a naval authority in which he was he'd by reading a paper tr ating of the metal plates of which the hull of the racing yacht Defender was constructed, before the American Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers at a meeting last Octo- Der in New York. The plates were a special composition, and they corroded bal lv from the action of the salt water in a comparatively short time.
 The Brooklyn navy yard was the scene of his next assignment, and he remained there until October IS, 1896. Among the work he performed during that time was his inspection of the yacht Defender and his report upon his investigation. afterward

It will assemble at noon in the hall of the house of representatives, and will be called to order by William Vaughan of Birmingham, chairman of the state ex- ecutive committed. Most of the republican leaders of the state are already present, as well as a number of negroes who live in this section of the state. The convention appears to have attracted however, few republican privates from distance. There is a good substantial opposition among the white leaders to the nomination of q state ticket They argue that it will be troublesome to make a campaign and that nothing can possibly be gained by it. l The rank and file want a full ticket nomi- | mated, however, and the majority of them appear to want pr. R. A. Moseley of Bir- mingham at it's head, and that will likely be the result of tomorrow's convention.
