MIR. Abram vandegrift. formerly editor
of the TRANSCRIPT, was in town on Tuesday
and called at. the old anctum. In reply
to the inquiry as to the matters at present
interesting the folks along the Delaware
shore he said they are now on picket duty,
looking for Spanish cruisers. An exchange
puts it this way: '.The inhabitants Of Della
ware City are very much interested in the
threatened war with Spain. They are in
terested for several reasons, and one of
them is that the town is within range Of
the big guns of Fort Mott. The guns men
toned shoot for fifteen miles. In case a
Spanish fleet should attempt to pass the
Fort the big guns would OF course be
trained upon it.ShouId the big guns be fired
in the direction of Delaware City and miss,
the proiectile would go crashing through
Delaware City aud might take half Of 1t
away. This is not a pleasant though .ofcourse
the guns might not be trained that way.
and they would probably strike the boat
they were aimed at, but the people do not
relish the idea of the projeclile missing It's
mark"

The Canal Repaired /.

Extensive repairs are being made to the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal. The EN-
bankments have been strengthened and in
some places new logs aud planks have
taken the places of old ones. The canal
was in good condition at the close Of the
season last year, but the management has
taken advantage of the favorable weather
and put this important waterway in first
class condition for the season Just opened.
The Delaware and Chesapeake canal,
forming as it does short cut by water a.
cross the Delaware and Maryland Penin-
sula, is most important and valuable link
between the Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays and in case OF war it might be of
great service in carrying supplies from one
great arm of the Atlantic Ocean to another.
It's Delaware terminus being in close proxi-
nifty to Fort Delaware will increase its
desirability as transportation route by
water in the event of war.-Cecil County

srArE MILITIA TO Arms.

On Thursday $4,000 was voted by the
General Assembly for the purpose of an en-
campment of the State Militia to give them
The necessary camp drill and training. The
measure was passed by both houses N
few hours and with but one dissenting vote
Mr.. Short who thought the Federal Gov
ernment should bear the expense. 1t is
probable that the boys" will be in camp
by the first Of the week. The Governors
message was as follows:
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
ITO ihe Senate and House of Representa-
tives, Gentlemen: The State Of Delaware
like other states, has long maintained an
organized militia, in order to afford pro-
lection to the lives and property of her
citizens, and to give such citizens as de-
sired that military training which is neces-
sary to fit them for their duties TO the ma
ton in time of need. In doing this the
state has not been improvident OF her re-
sources, but on the contrary has been most
economical in her appropriations and most
careful in placing about this organization
all needful restraints in the use of state
funds. Under these circumstances the citi-
zens of the state have shown most COM
mendable and patriotic spirit in maintain
ing this organization by enlistment in its
companies, and undergoing its drills and
services without having the advantages
and beneftSof an encampment, reyiews.or
field training.
"The United States is on the eve of
great war, in which heservices- patriotic
citizens of this state will be needed. A call
will in all probability be made by the Pres
ident for troops in few days ard the State
of Delaware, which in the past has ever
responded to the demands of the nation
with her full quota Of men for service in the
nations wars, will not fail in the present
occasion.
In order to afford the national govern
ment the greatest service in the coming
war, it is most necessary that our militia
should be given the opportunity of field
training, which they have been deprived of
because of lack ofappropriaiiont to cover the
expenses of encampment. Though they
may be we'll drilled in the tatics and rules
of military companies, they know nothing
of the tatics, rules and regulations of regi-
mental or field service. Their lives, their
health and their effectiveness in the service
depend to great extent upon the know
ledge which such training would afford
them,
ut is a duty which the state owes to her
citizens and to the government of which
she forms part, to provide every possible
means to fully equip the militia of the state
for the service which they are likely to be
called upon to render TO the National Gov
ernment.And in order that this may be ac-
complishsd most respectfully recommend
and urge that an appropriation be made
for the purpose of covering all necessary
expenses for an enoampment Of our Nat.
ion al Guard, to the end that they may have
full opportunity to be drilled and trained
in field maneuvers and camp duties.
