JIM BLUDSO OF THE. PRAIRIE
BELLE.

written by our new secretary Of state, John
Hay, in his salad days. He now wishes
he had never done it,
WALL no! 1 can't tell whar he lives.
Becase he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out of the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
War have you been for the last three year
mat you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night Of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike:
One wife at Na.chez- under-the-Hill
And another one here in Pike;
keer.ess man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row.
But he never funked, and he never lied
L reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had,
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed On the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And If ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
TIL the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Miss.ssip,
And her day came at last
The Movastar was a better boat
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she come tearin along, that night
The oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on her safety valve
And her furnace crammed rosln and pine
The fire bust out as she cIared the bar.
And burnt a hole in the night,
ana quick as flash she turned and made
For the wil,er bank on the right
There was runnin' and cursin', but Jim yell
ed out
Over all the Internal roar,
I'll hold her nozzle agn the bank
Till the last ga.oot's ashore"
Through the hot. black breath of the burnin'
boat
Jim Bludsos voice was heard
And they all had trust in his cussedness
And knowed he would keep his word
And sure's you're born. they all got off
Afore the smokestacks fell
And B.udso's ghost went up a.one
In the smoke of tie Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint-but at Judgment
I'd run my chances with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shake hands with him
He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
ana Christ amt a-goin' to be too hard
On man that died for men

for regular orders. In the magazine at
Rose island there are several thousand
pounds of Dupont cotton, purchased at
the time of the burning of the factory
here. This is used for the loading of tor

ment of Whitehead torpedoes will come
from the Bliss companys works at
Brooklyn.
The torpedo boats Gwynn and Talbot
had steam up to-day, ready to be turned
over to the officers and crews, who are
expected tomorrow. Early .to-night the
torpedo boat Stiletto returned unexpect-
edly from New York. where she has been
all winter for tests of her oil burning

Emergency Orders Received by the Rail-

Atlanta, Ga, March 13.-Orders were
received here tonight by the master
mechanics of all the railroads entering
the city to have every engine steamed
up and ready for use at a moments no.
tice. All roundhouses and yards are
lighted up tonight and full force of
men are at work-a very unusual thing
for Sunday night
A trip to the roundhouses of several
roads did not elicit any information
Those in charge said the engines We're
merely fired up for emergency, and
that they always kept some ready to be
sent out in case of breakdown or put
ting out of extra trains. 1t was denied
that any order had been received to
have any extra number of engines ready
for use, though the report was current
around the shops that a movement of
troops was expected early in the week.
Acting under instructions believed to
have been received last night, the
Western and Atlanta shops had on
full force to-day. Engines which have
not been used for a year and freight
cars abandoned some time ago are to
be overhauled and all rolling stock is
being repaired The conference of rail-
road men in Washington to-day lent
color to the report that emergency
work had been ordered on several of
the roads, although it is denied that
such an order has been issued. 1t is
known that information reached At
lanta late last night looking to the
pushing of this work.

firing tube. being discharged, throws the
projectile distance of ID or 20 feet. and
the air in the tank is released and sup
plies the motive power for the mechan-
ism in the tail. Enough compressed air
is stored to carry the torpedo 1,600 or
1,S00 yards. The distance which the tor
pedo is intended to travel may be
gauged by the adjustment of the mech
anism in the tail of the prejectile. When
the projectile strikes an object the gun
cotton is exploded by detonation by
means of charge of illuminate of mer-
curry in the form of a cap. The force
of the discharge of 220 pounds of gun
cotton is sufficient. if properly placed,
to sink warship. as was demonstrated
in the Brazilian insurrection, when a
single torpedo destroyed four compart-
ments on the battleship Aquidaban,
sinking that vessel, although she was
able. under her own steam. to get from
her moorings to the dock few hundred
yards away.
The Howell torpedo differs from the
Whitehead only in the mechanism,
while the Cunningham torpedo is power
full and destructive, but unreliable.

WHITE TALKS.
The United States Has Made No Alliance
With ENGLAND or Japnn.

London, March 13.-The Sunday Spe-
cial publishes from its Berlin CORE
spondent an interview with United
States Ambassador White on the atti-
tude of the United States towards Spain
and the Cuban situation. Ambassador
White, according to this dispatch. de-
clared the statement that the United
Statese had entered into an alliance
with England and Japan absolutely
without foundation.
THE Americans" Mr.. White is re-
ported to have said, will never bind
themselves by such an alliance. Presi-
dent McKinley's administration cannot
act against the tradition which holds
all such complications in Americas S in
ternational relations as wrong. Least
of all. will it do this for the sake of in
terests in the far east.
THE fear of war with Spain must not
be taken too seriously. The $50, 600, 900
credit is no proof that the United States
intends going to war since the govern
ment has long demanded such a credit
for the purpose of harbor defenses. This
however, has been postponed owing to
the niggardly policy congress had
hitherto pursued"
He characterized as quite untrue"
the statement that the United States
had placed large orders with Herr
Krupp, and added America possesses
ammunition of all kinds and war mate
rial in the government factories suffi-
cient for every emergency"

of Their Trim 10 Cuba.

Charlotte n. c.. March Ex-senator
Proctor passed through Charlotte to-day
He talked freely except on the subjects of
Spain and the possibility of war. He said
the most gratifying thing he met with
on his trip was the splendid conduct and
spirit of the Southern people. He felt
that II was worth the total cost of all
preparations for war to demonstrate what
a sterling loyal spirit was cherished
throughout the South as he had seen it,
He said he had gathered some facts. but
did not know just what bearing they
might have on the present situation. He
would have to find out the situation at
home before he could even judge fairly
on the knowledge he had gained on the
trip.

and Kills His Wife.
IN A ROW ABOUT MONEY
The Enraged Man Fired Five Shots into
Her and Turned the Revolver on
Himself When the officers
Came to Arrest Him.

San Francisco. March 13.-About 5
o'clock this evening. Andrew Schuller.
n financial broker, fatally shot his wife
at 20 California street. 1t is believed
that the tragedy was caused by a dis
pute over business affairs. Schuller,
who is 40 years of age, had before sep
arated from his wife, a well-preserved
woman of 40. for over two years She
had been married before. her former
husband. Eugene OWles, who died in
1892, leaving her valuable estate. She
frequently accused Schuller of having
diverted the greater portion of this
property to his own use. and she stated
tonight that the object of her visit to
his office to-day was to obtain some
money he had promised her Words
arose between them in the office. but it
is not known what was said.

IN HAVANA.
A Better Distribution of Relief Supplies
Promised.

tGonltSeu.
Havana. March 13.-Everything indi-
Gates that the distribution of relief
stores sent from the United States will
go forward hereafter more speedily and
effectively, attaining better results than
ever before. While much good has been
done, and no questions have been raised
as to the honesty of intention, there is
no doubt room for Improvement
Matters appear to have had a crisis
yesterday in MatanZas. where there was
want of proper preparation on the
part of certain relief agents appointed
from Havana and where, in view of the
large daily average of death, ii was felt
that greater dispatch should have been
used in delivering supplies and in ar
ranging to have them properly cooked
But this is now assured. United States
Consul General Lee and Louis Klopsch
of President McI<inleys special COM
mission will not only exercise a close
business supervision. but will insist that
the work of to-day shall not be put Off
until tomorrow.
Every one is gratified to learn that
famous Catholic priest, who will not al
low his name to be published, will give
all the aid in his power to Consul Gen
eral Lee and MIR. Klopsch. not only in
Havana, where the suffering is much al
leviated. but outside, where relief is
most urgently needed The United
States consuls at Matanzas and Sagua
and the consular agents in other cities
can be relied upon, it is believed, with
the help of the local Spanish commit
tees, to push forward the eAod work
with all due speed. The need of relief
supplies Is practically undiminished,
and there is no fear that the contribu-
tions already here, or to come, will not
be properly used.
A correspondent at Matanzas says the
hag
committee. They secure his signature
to orders for food, which is then deliv-
cred by United States Consul Brice from
the warehouse upon presentation of the
order. The local firemen see that food
is delivered to the needy. They have
been active in relief work hitherto and
have made careful canvass from
house to house Mr.. Brce has appoint
ed three American women with power
to give aid Independent of the COVER
nor's signature to those who are called
silent sufferers. the class who have
sold or pawned everything. but are too
proud to let their wants be known.
The Fern and Bergen have gone with
supplies. Mr.. Brice is satisfied with the
arrangements and is much encouraged.
He says great good will be accomplish
ed in the course of a week. Condensed
milk, of which too much has been sent
to Havana. Is badly needed al Matan-
zas and Sagua. One woman in the
Matanzas hospital. on hearing the word

for hours.
Mr.. Brice has supervision of the en-
tire relief work with ample power to
give personally in cases he knows to be
deserving. Senior De Armas. the gov
ernor, is said to be a humane and good
man.
The Anita, with the congressional

but ii will he resumed early in the
morning. No delay is anticipated in the
delivery of the goods.
