forces of men to work, but none of the
steel monsters which guard our coast
line was born in hurry, nor will any
of their future comrades be rushed into
existence.
Gunmaking, when the guns weigh
thousands of tons, is a deliberate art.
With ponderous dignity the huge rifles
come into being, and all their later
movements are correspondingly slow
until the time comes for them to act in
real earnest-the supreme moment
when with mighty roar, a tremendous
belching Of fame and smoke, they hurl
their gigantic missiles across miles of
sea to seek out and sink the audacious
invader.
Uncle Sam has two big shops where
he turns out peace compellers. One of
these is near Washington, where the
big guns for the navy are made. The
other is at Watervliet, N. Y, where
are made the mammoth rifles, siege
guns, mortars and other pieces Of heavy
ordnance. It is at the latter that the
biggest gun in the world, destined for
the defenses of New York harbor, is
now in course of construction. There is
another arsenal at Watertown, Mass,
near Cambridge, and there the new dis
appearing gun carriages and heavy pro-
jectiles are made.
The post at Watervliet was estab-
Nshed in 1902, and the reservation en-
braces a tract of AZ acres. It was then
called Gibbonsville. This unpoetic
name was changed to Watervliet in 1917.
It is only within recent years that
the government has been making any of
the most modern of the large guns. A
board of officers, acting for the ordnance
department at Washington, was direct
ed by act Of congress March 8, 1883, to
investigate and report on the needs Of
this country for coast defenses. In &C
cordance with this act report was sub
mitted Jan. %, 1885, recommending
that about 1000 guns be mounted for
protection at ~ points along the At
lantic and Pacific coasts. The new build
ing is 1000 feet long, with an average
width of about $50 feet. The annual
output is twenty IL inch, fourteen 10
inch and twelve inch guns.
The guns made in the Watervliet fac
tory are the same in their essential con-

A young woman | know went to
a spiritualist seance once upon an
evening, and though she strained
every nerve in an effort to concen-
trate her mind on her dear and gone
acquaintance there was no message
for her. Quite late in the evening
the medium announced the presence
OF spirit calling himself Uncle
Jimmy. The young woman immedi.
ately rose and claimed him. Uncle
Jimmy said he was doing nicely,
sent his love to all the family and

the hall the escort ventured to say

Eight-HOur Work Day.
SETS FORTH SUGGESTIONS
Reauests Infan Men to Call Upon
Senators and IrGe the Importance
of Supporting the Measure That
Passed the House of Representa-
dives During thc Last Session.

A copy OF The following circular letter
was sent out yesterday by President
Samuel Gompers, Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, TO the presidents of ali
State branches of the organization:
During the last session OF Congress,
our eight-hour bill III r. 73S9D, passed the
House Of Representatives. Owing TO the
opposition Of some senators, it did not
pass the Senate The United States sem
ator of your State was most in evidence
as the leading opponent Had he and a
few others ceased their antasonism there
would be no question but what that be-
neticent measure would have now been
the law Of the land.
1T is unnecessary at this time to enter
fnto an argument i'm favor of the eight
hour day and its establishment by law for
all Government work, whether performed
direct or by contract; but, one statement
made by an interested opponent will suf
fee to convince all that il will not de-
stroy, nor injure, or be an obstacle in the
general industries. nor the development
Of our increasing shipbuilding.

Complaints From Germany That Or

The State Department has received
from Consul General Cole at Dresden the
following complaint against American ex-
port methods:
while American manufacturers COM
plain of the difficulties in introducing
their goods into Germany, I am inclined
to think some of our people at least do
not pay sufficient attention to prompt
ness in executing orders they receive, or
care in making shipments to insure their
reception at destination within a reason
able time. Two complaints that reached
me this morning well illustrate the trou-
BILE: An order for machinery given early
in June last to an Eastern manufactur-
ing company has not been received, al
though sight draft with invoice attached
was paid in August; / have seen invoice
from an Ohio tool company, dated June
8, 1893, the sight draft for which was
paid August last, but up to October Z
there are no tidings of the goods These
delays are very provoking to the purchas-
er or consignee, particularly after he has
'ong ago paid for the property, and. un-
less corrected, will have serious effect on
American trade in Germany"

Boats to Run Between ST. Peters,
burg, Riga and New York.
American Ambassador Hitchcock has
sent to the State Department from st.
Petersburg, Russia. a copy of a letter
from Consul Bornholdt, at Riga, which
reads In part, as follows:
II take pleasure In Informing you that
| have made arrangements with the
United Steamship Company, of Copenha-
gen, which possesses a large feet of
steamers, to establish a line direct be-
tween Russia and the United States. The
boats will make the experiment of run
ming between ST. Petersburg. Riga and
New York. The advantage to the import
ers in the United States of this direct
line, which has not hitherto existed, will
be in cheaper freights and avoidance of
transshipment, 1t is hoped that there
will be sufficient goods to make the trial
successful and induce the company to
continue the line. ] am sure it will in
crease the trade between the two coun-
tries"
Mr. Hitchcock adds:
s.Since the permanency of the arrange
ment will depend on the volume of ton
mage furnished by shippers, and in view
of the great Importance of thus maintain
ing direct communication between the
United States and Russia. | would sug-
gest that the inauguration of the new en-
terprise be given such publicity as viii
secure for it's promoters a paying com
pensation for the risk they thus assume
in affording our merchants and manufac.
turers favorable opportunity of in
creasing their trade with Russia"
A previous report dated March
1885, from Mr.. Hitchcock says that tn,
United Steamship Company has been il

tai of about l2.ooo.OOo. and owns oyel
120 steamers, trading between variou.

European ports. 1t is estimated he adds,
that Russia alone consumes Loco, 900 bales
of cotton annually, of which a compara-
lively small proportion comes direct
from America; but this proportion could
be immensely increased by avoiding the
delay and expense of transshipment at
Liverpool. Hamburg or Bremen The
same Is true in respect to the products
of American manufactures. for which
there is an increasing demand from Rus
sia.
The department has also received a
communication from Consul General Ho-
loway, of st. Petersburg dated October
10. 1895. covering the same information.
Mr.. Holloway adds that the united
Steamship Company has now bi-month-
ly line to Newport News and New Or
leans, the success of which has led its
managers to consider the establishment
of direct cervice to New York.

offered to build Russian warships in five

This is stated to you so that you may

The Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at the meeting
held here October 24-25, 1898, instructed
the undersigned TO request you, and | do
so request you now, to associate with
yourself any committee of union men for
the purpose of waiting upon your senator
and his associate senator for the purpose
of securing promise from them that
they will favor our eight-hour bill III.

and measures of our organized fellow
workers.
Even though there be no election for
United States senators in your State,
senators are undoubtedly interested in
having congressman, State legislators
and municipal officers elected of their
own party.
Letters similar to this are being sent
to the several States whose senators
have opposed or are indifferent TO our bill.
