angr1ly.
you're another!" yelled back Hill.
The two men were near each other, and
Parvin picked up a saw and hammer and
made toward him, hitting him once with
the saw on the wrist. Hill picked up q
long stick and prepared to defend himself
while Parvin kept on hitting at him with
the hammer. using the saw as a guard.
During the melee Parvin was struck on
the finger and over the head, though, ac-
cording to Hills statement, he did not seem
to be much injured by the affray, and when
he heard the next day from one of his
friends that Parvin was dead he went and
gave himself up to the authorities.
After Hills testimony the court ad-

April, 1851, for 7B. GOO volunteers, was
only for ninety days service.
Nor YER the Confederate leaders on
their side less short-sighted or less
saDguine Of q speedy termination of
the contest. While the Southern ports
were still open, and before the Federal
blockade was made effective, the ex.
tent to which they awaited themselves
OF the opportunity to prepare for war
and to secure arms and supplies, OF
which they subsequently stood sorely
in need, was ludicrously disproportion-
ate to the magnitude of the occasion.
One OF two battles, they said, will set
tie it; will demonstrate to the Northern
people that we are in earnest, and that
we can't be conquered, and that will
end everything. Peace will come.
1t was four long years, and only after
q struggle which cost million Of lives,
and has cost, the account not yet be-
ing closed, billions of money, that
peace did come. Let US hope that no
such experience awaits this nation now
in the war In which we are about to
engage with Spain. We say ''about to
engage" for it is inConceivable that
war should not be the immediate and
necessary result of the resolutions
passed by Congress, demanding the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the Spanish flag
and forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters, where Spanish sovereignty has
reigned for four hundred years. The
poorest spirited nation on the face Of
the globe would feel compelled to as
sert it's dignity and self Prospect in the

7. B. PARKER.

Just thirty-seven years ago, in this
self same fatefuI month of April, the
people of this country embarked, we
will not say with light hearts, but with
little conception Of the magnitude or
duration of the struggle in which they
were about to engage, in one of the
longest and bloodiest conflicts of mod
ern times. Even after the firing upon
Sumter and the resistance made in the
streets of Baltimore on the 18Th of
April to the passage Of the Sixth Mas
sachusetts Regiment, the idea prevailed
not only among the masses of the peo
pie, but raj widely disseminated by
the press and encouraged by statesmen
and leaders, that the war between the
States would necessarily be of short
duration. ''Sixty days will settle II"

H SPANISH DRDr.

We have a very light National debt
in proportion to population and
resources; Spain has a very heavy ore.
With a population of probably rs. 900,
600 total debt on March 81, last,
was 81, 0O8, ZIG, $50, or less than $15 per
capita. Spain with a population OF
about 18, 600, 900 has a debt of more
than 81, 800, OOO, 900, or over 500 per
capita, says the Atlanta Journal.
The total Spanish debt, principal,
was on March 81, 1886, SIC, 400 pesetas.
or ebout 81, 7O9, OOO, 600. The interest
and sinking fund amounts to 528, 1876,
$50 pesetes, or about sos. 600, 600. A
Spanish peseta is about 1913 cents in
our money.
The Spanish debt is already so large
and Spanish credit has fallen so low
that the 4 per cent bonds of that gov
eminent closed at Paris last Saturday
below 80. Our bonds have declined
considerably since the war scare began,
but r still away above par.
Even if u debt were as large per
capita as that of Spain our credit would
be vastly better because of our superior
resources and greater production Of
wealth per capita. One Of the elements
of our great financial strength at this
time is found in our large holdings of
gold. There is in this country today
no less than 75O, OOO, 600 of gold, more
than u people ever had befoge. OF
this amount the federal treasury holds
about $175, 900. 600. The United States
could borrow five hundred o q thou
and millions of dollars tomorrow on
low rate bonds at par. Spain could not
borrow a dollar except at a heavy dis
count of her obligation and colud not
get any great amount of money at any
rate. How can such q Country stand

great length, Of timeG

transport and eight torpedo boats.
The powder used is brown. A charge
Tor the biggest guns weighs 500 pounds,
and is hoisted to the breech by q der
rick, the powder being sewed up in
burlap bags.
Armor plates r tested by firing
steel projectiles weighing from 100 to
800 pounds at them from guns
charged with 500 pounds of powder
and at a distance of about a city block.
Our ~battleships have a speed of from
fifteen to seventeen knots an hour.
Cruisers make nineteen to twenty. four
knots, while the monitors can travel
about twelve knots.
The biggest guns in the navy are
forty nine feet long, big enough for a
man to crawl into; four feet in diam,
eter at their largest part, and weigh
156, 500 pounds, or Whereabouts.
There are six rear admirals in active
service. The Offices of vice admiral
and admiral are untitled. so there is no
head of the navy except Secretary
Long.
The fastest vessels in the navy are
the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont,
each Of which can travel q 5 knots an
hour.
B~attleships cost from g, 500. 600 to
g. 76O, OO0O. and cruisers from $500. 600
to $4,000. 600. A good torpedo boat
costs over 800, 600.
Battleships are for the heavy work
cruisers are commerce d~estroyers
monitors are useful only for coast de
Tense.
The Indiana could lie outside Sandy
Hook and throw 1 200 pound shots into
New York at the rate of four a minute.
Those artists who show smoke in
their pictures Of naval battles are
wholly wrong. Smokeless powder is
used.
All Of the cruisers are named in
honor Of cities, and the battleships, ex
cept the Kearsarge, in honor of States.
A big battleship has on board an
electric plant capable of lighting a
town Of 5000 inhabitants.
The boilers Of the Iowa have q heat
ing surface Of eight acres and hold
thirty tons OF water.
Great Britain has 294 torpedos and
torpedo boat d~estroyers; Uncle Sam
he's only eight.
Five hundred and forty six men and
forty officers are required to man the
cruiser New York.
At present the total enlisted force OF
the naval militia is $3.50 officers and
men.
Behind the heavy armor there is a
padding Of either corn pith or cocoa
husks.
It costs $500 every time one of the
big guns on board a ship is fired.
The Brooklyn and the New York are
our aFmored cruisers.
Sailors are paid from So 80 to $12 sc

the expense OF the river"
Captain bravo laid great distress up
on the fact that the changed lines
would have a tendency to increase the
cost of carriage, and as result the
cost of merchandise. Continuing, he
said if they would put an obstruction
on a railroad that would cause wreck
they would be put in the penitentiary;
still the railroads are allowed to OBJ
struct the river, and destroy thousands
of dollars worth of river property.
General Manager Loree, OF the Rail-
way Company, replied to Captain ORA
vo, among other things saying the Com
pany needed additional room, and could
only obtain it by extending its prop
ertv into the river. He made the claim
that IS per cent. of the business Of this
city was done by the railroads, and only
Is per cent. by the river, and he felt
that when railroads asked for little
something which would hurt no one
else it should be granted. He recited
a number of difficulties railroads had
to contend with, and claimed that cor
porations like his own had to purchase
whatever they needed, while the river
was kept up for boatmen at the expense
of the general government.
Captain bravo rejoined briefly, and
then the entire party went to the foot
of Fourteenth street and looked over
the ground.
This ended the session, and the party
of visitors left the city last evening.
The report of the Board, when made
up, will go to the Chief Engineer OF
the Army and will be by him trans

the Board of Commissioners may also

yesterday that the report of the Board
would be favorable to the river men
and against the Railway Company, but
this was not based upon anything said
by the army officers, who declined to be
interviewed upon the subject. The
rivermen will take steps to lay addi-
tional facts before the Secretary of
War, at an early date.
Representatives of the Register
talked to half a dozen of the rivermen,
yesterday afternoon, and they were all
indignant at the incessant encroch-
ment upon the river by railroad COM
panies and manufacturing concerns.
They claim that the government harbor
lines and other regulations are con-
stantly being violated with impunity,
and that the time has come when
summary stop must be put to the prac-
tice, even if Congress must be appealed
