The esteemed and honorable Senate of
the United States. which is composed Of
ninety excellent gentlemen when all of the
seats are filled, is a liberal spender of pub
lie money upon itself. During the fiscal
year which ended June 80 last the ex-
penses of the Senate amounted TO $780,,
7S6.72. The salary list Of the Senate
amounts, all told, to 200, hence the
Senate expended approximately 100000
upon itself for other purposes.

The Northern newspapers are anEounc-

Tampa, st. Augustine, Palm Beach, Aiken
and elsewhere at the Southern winter re-
sorts. When is the golf season at Sa-
vannah going to open? No winter re-
sort has better ground for golf links than
Savannah. There are a dozen tracts within
a mile or two of the city, any one Of
which would serve the purpose admirably.
People who play golf are able and willing
to pay literally for their sport. and they
go to spend their winters where they can
find what they want Savannah should
offer them an inducement to come here.

of the big transports that are now in SER
vice between this port and cuba will be

that the reinforcements will be shipped
from an Atlantic port. Under all Of the
circumstances. it is probable that Savan-
nah will be the port selected. Seven reg

sent to the Philippines. The ships, how
ever, will not return from Manila to an
Atlantic port. but viii be put on a line
between that place and San Francisco
While 1t has not been officially so stated,
the supposition is that the Mobile and the
Chester will be among the vessels selected
for the Manila service.

A SHOT ACROSS HER BOW.
A German Cruiser brought To by a
Shell from One Of Dewey's WarshfPs

London, July 19.-The Kong Kong
correspondent Of The Daily Mail says:
United States Consul Wildman in
forms me that as the German cruiser
Irene vas passing M~ariveles, off Ma
Mia, the other day, the United States
gunboat Hugh McCulloch was sent af-
ter her to stop her. The Irene refused
to obey; a shell was sent across her
bow and a mall boa went to discover
what she was doing. The German ad-
mira1 protested and insisted that Ger
man ships had a right to enter the
harbor without being searched, a claim
which Admiral Dewey declined to rec
ogniZe.
1T is reported that Admiral Won
Diedrichs, who is in command of the
German squadron at Manila, inter-

Typewriting and Records

Some years ago, when typewriting
vas introduced in the public depart
ments." remarked an old typewriter
to a Star reporter, there was a great
fear expressed that the work would
not hold out in comparison with the
pen writing; that the ink used would
fade away, and that in twenty-five
years or so it would be entirely OBJ
liberated and the record entirely gone.
/ am willing to admit hat the ink
used when ~typewriterS were originally
was not as good as it
should b and by no mean as coed as
that which soon followed, but, far as /
have been able to ascertain by fire.
quently referring to typeWriting done
as far back as twenty years ago. there
are no signs of deterioration The
aniline inks now used are practically
everlasting, if hat word can be used
in connection with any ink. / find
that the ink used in pen writing fifty
or sixty years and in some in
stances less, shows considerable signs
OF fading out, though in many in
stances it seems to be as good as
when it was first used.
The difference in favor of type
writing is that typewriting is the
same all the time, while very few of
even the best clerks always write a
clear hand. Some of the very old pen
writing in the records of some OF the
departments is very Dol for the rea-
son that it was very poorly written
originally. Some of it can only be
~deciphered with the greatest difficult
ty, and in cases of proper names this
delays searShes considerably. With
typewriting the initials of names and
the names themselves are as plain as
the rest, leaving no rom for doubt
and causing no extra searShes in cor
r~oborating them. Another advan-
tage in favor of typeWriting is that
more is put On the sheet and the size
of the record is correspondence de-
creased, for there is no chance for
fOurishes, which, while easy enough
to read when fresh, are not easily
read afterward.
The state department has never
allowed a typewriter to be used in
that department., though they accept
letters from the other departments so
written. Secretaries Olney and Sher-
mar both endeavored to get typewri-
tiers introduced, but the machinery OF
the department and the desire to be
foreign in every spect was toe
much for them. OF course, should
any of the real foreign offices start in
with typewriters our state depart
ment would follow suit in an hour af-
terward, for it is estimated that i,
costs the government about three
times as much to have letters written
by hand in the Old-fashioned way as
it does by the modern systems and
typeWriterS." w Star

Lit. Anderson Takes a Prize Into Saw
annah.

The Savannah News of Saturday
says:
The British steamship Adula, Cap
tain Walker, captured off Guantanamo
bay, Cuba, on June 29th, was brought
into Savannah as a prize yesterday.
This is the first prize to come in
to Savannah during the war between
Spain and the United States, though
a good many Spanish bottoms have
been captured. The majority of them
have been taken into Key West, and
one or two have gone to Charleston.
1t is understood now that all of the
prizes captured hereafter will be
brought into Savannah, and if there
is much more businass in this line,
the prize commissioners of this dis
trict will probably make a good thing
out of it.
The Adula is a small screw steamer
of 372 tons burden. Her length is 212. 5
feet, beam POI feet and draught II
feet. She belongs to the Atlas line and
was engaged in trade in the West In
dies.
From Lieutenant Anderson it was al
SO learned that Soils, the Spaniard
who chartered the steamer for the
purpose of running the blockade, was
on board, having come with her from
Kingston. There appears to be nc
doubt that the object was to bring
refugees away from Cuban ports.
Lieutenant Anderson, the prize mas
ter on the Adula, is from Wilmington,
N. c. He has already figured promi-
nently in the operations on the south
ern coast of Cuba, and it was he who
had charge Of h two launches from
the Marblehead when that cruiser was
engaged in cutting the cable running
out from C~ienfuegos. Lieutenant An
derson and his men were at that time
under a hot fire from the land bat
teries of the Spanish for about three
hours. He had two men killed in the
boat Of which he was in charge, and
five men wounded, out succeeded in
the work he had undertaken.
