Another Soldier Dead.

AS stated in last issue OF The REC
ORD, Privats Clarence Parks was
brought home from Chickamauga last
week quite ILL He had typhoid fever
and been discharged from the hospital
to come home. We understand, though
are not prepared to say for certain,
that Parks ate some solid ODD on the
train. This, together with the jostling
OF the cars, gave him a back set from
which he never rallied. He reached
the home of his parents, on the new
Danville pike. abont two miles from
town, and died there Sunday night.
Parks was about twenty-five years old
and bore splendid reputation for
honesty, sobriety and industry. He
was among the first to enlist and, we
learn from an officer, made one of the
best soldiers in the company. The re-
m aims were placed in the Cemetery
vault until Tuesday when they were
interre in the family burying ground
near Hyattsville.

FIELD FOR AMERICAN sHIP-YARD.
Carnegie Calls on Westerners to
Build One at New York.

A recent issue OF the Iron Trade Re-
view has the following important letter
from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie:
Cannes, France, February 10, 1893.
To tha Editor: May l call attention
through your columns to the field which
is open for a first-class shipbuilding yard
upon the HUDSON. East river or Lower
Bay, near New York. The prices paid
for steel by British and German ship
yards are so much higher than ship
builders in New York would be required
10 pay that the difference would make
In itself an excellent profit. Plates are
worth about s22 or SO per ton in New
York The quoted price at Glasgow is
nearly $50. Other prices are in proper
ton. and all the woodwork or ships is
also much cheaper with us. IL a yard
were built to-day with the newest APP
planes, the total cost OF labor. even at
much higher wages, would be less than
in any shipyard i know OF, either in
Great Britain or Germany.
| am satisfied that the United States
can gain the supremacy in shipbuilding
ii had when wooden ships were In vogue.
IL only needs an enterprising western
shipbuilding concern TO establish a yard
near New York and manage il with the
skill and energy which have character
lied those on the lakes. This is the only
prominent department OF manufacturing
in which our country is behind. and II
is one in which II easily can obtain front
rank. II would justify steel manu-
facturers to guarantee 10 such ship
building concern a continuance Of The
for term Of years, and also that steel
OF all kinds and armor and guns should
always be furnished at the lowest price
paid by European ship-builders. But
there is nothing TO fear from the prices
OF steel. for these. henceforth. are TO
rule lower in our country than In any
country OF Europe. 1t will not be long
before a large portion OF its steel supply
must be drawn by Europe from the United
States. IL ! were a younger man, or.
rather, ~ / did not belong 10 a concern
which employs all my capital. / should
be greatly inclined 10 enter upon the
building OF ships somewhere near New
York harbor. There would be no war
ships or Atlantic liners open for bids in
any part OF the world which the New
York yard would not have something 10
say about Every needed element is
present for regalning our supremacy as
the principal shipbuilding country. Sure
~. some one OF the successful lake con-
Germs will consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF es-
tablishins a branch yard near New York.
branch which predict would very
soon grow 10 many times the capacity
Of the original works. and give a much
higher return upon capital. besides rem

THE ARMING AND EQEIPPING.

THE ARMING AND EQU1PPlNG.
The greatest difficulty will be to arm
and equip the force. The training would
come next 1t would be no easy task,
but America has been through all these
struggles before, and knows what her
volunteer soldiers can do.
Here Is the plan OF campaign as laid
down by one OF Americas ablest gen.
erals, who was recently quoted as say
ing:
SHOULD war be declared. the first move
of the United States Government would
be to throw its forces into our CONNER
cial cities on the Atlantic coast to repel
an attack of the enemy's warships. For
some time after the beginning OF hostili-
ties the tug-of-war would be between the
navles OF the United States and Spain.
On the seas we are about equally match
ed so far as vessels and armament are
concerned. So soon as circumstances
would permit, We would throw GER
tain portion OF our forces into Cuba. The
question OF transportation Of men need
not concern US very much, for, with the
present spirit existing among our people.
we would reach the island. We would
get our soldiers there If the men had to
swim.
AS TO THE LEADERS.
LAS to leaders, let no one have fear
that we would lack military talent. The
graduates of our military schools have
had far better advantages than had
Grant, Lee, Jackson, Sherman, or Sheri-
dan. We have right TO expect from
the younger generation Of officers men
even more brilliant than they were.
"As to the fighting qualities OF the
Spaniard, we will do well not TO under
rate them. have never met any man
bearing Spanish blood in the field except
the Mexican greasers. In our war with
Mexico in which / took part, we found
that the Mexicans were good enough
fighters What they lacked was leader
ship.
Spain has no great military leaders,
but the war may develop them. Ma
poleon used to say that he could make
soldiers, but he could not make generals.
Spain has never been prolific OF great
military leaders. Nevertheless, the
Spaniards possess the martial spirit. IL
Is safe to predict that after we got fairly
started the war would be a question OF
a few weeks, and that the nayies OF the
two countries would bear the brunt OF
the contest for supremacy.

DR.. f. Nansen--Two men, q dogs, 100
days, 400 miles.
We will pass the winter at Peterman
Land, and at the first favorable moment,
probably in the middle Of February or
the beginning Of March, we will start
with enough dogs and reindeer to carry
our provisions, in order not TO be obliged
10 return The reindeer have the great
advantage of being possible of CONVEX
sion into food for men and dogs.
To follow this itinerary. the expedition
will be Composed Of a chief, a geological
surveyor. a physician, six chosen men,
and a Lapp 10 care for the dogs and
reindeer. We would endeavor to fol-
low our route 10 the Pole by making our
42O miles in about 100 days. We would
return by route which would allow
US to reach Spitzbergen, which is 600
miles from the Pole. We would then
have a favorable current Of two miles
per day, and l am Of the opinion that
this voyage could be made in from 40
to $50 DAYS. We would reach the Danish
Island. from whence Andree started In
his balloon, in the autumn. We would
find on this island a depot OF provisions,
which had been carried there In advance
in view Of our return at this time. We
should pass the winter here, for the ex-
cursion-boats only call there at long
intervals and in the warm season. The
advantage which this itinerary possesses
is that it would permit US TO explore
Peterman Land, of which a glimpse was
had by the explorer Payers, who after
wards discovered Franz Joseph Land. We
would be able, also, 10 explore the isles
north OF this archipelago.
The first itinerary l have outlined is
preferable, from the point Of view Of
succeeding in the project Of which the
chief end is TO reach the North Pole.
By adopting either Of these two plans.
/ am absolutely certain Of the success
Of my expedition.
