COLLECTING OLD BOATS.
League Island Navy Yard Transacted For
Emergency Craft.


Emergency Craft.
An order was issued by the naval
department at Washington Thursday
TO make o test of the machinery of the
old war monitors Mt the League island
navy yard.
These are single-turreted crafts
armed with big, smooth bore guns in
turrets that could likely be pierced by
the modern high power rifles on the
battleships, but they would still be Of
service in On emergency.
There are eight of these monitors at
League island and several others that
are now loaned to the naval militia Or
CARNATIONS Of some of the states.
Those at League island are the fol-
lowing: Canonicus, Mshopiac, Man
haitian, Catskill, Jason, Lehigh, Mon
tauk and Nahant. They are all be-
tween 1900 and 2,100 tons displace-
ment and draw very little water, so
that they can take up advantageous
positions on shoals commanding chan
mel approaches.
It is denied at the navy department
that any request has been made upon
the Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pans to hasten the launch of the bat
tleships Kearsarge and Kentucky, set
some time ago, for the oath of this
month.
These two battleships, the largest
ever built for the United States navy,
are to be completed and turned over
to the government within ten months,
II finished under tho terms of contract.
The coal mining companies through
out the country, especially those near
the seaboard, have been prompt in
their offers to the navy department to
furnish coal in the event Of trouble
with Spain, and the department has
taken steps to ascertain the probable
supply and its location. ETC., available
in the case OF an emergency demand.
Secretary Long has authorized an
absolute and positive denial of re-
port asserting that partial or prelim'
mary report had been received by the
government from the Maine inquiry
board indicating or declaring that the
loss of the Maine was due to an exter-
nal explosion. He said that no report
Of any kind had been received.

The diplomacy OF Russia has always
presented q remarkable combination
of suppleness and extreme tenacity.
She has learned by long experience
to understand the orientals, and while
she is ready at times to make substan-
tial concessions, she never makes
formal ones. But Russian diplomacy
has another advantage over that OF the
Western powers. 1t never NEEDLES
with those endless discussions which
are every day provoked by the pres
ence OF Christian missionaries in the
Celestial empire. There are deeper
causes, however, for the intimate con-
nection between China and Russia.
The Chinese are keenly alive to their
own interests; and between those in
interests and those Of Russia there is
no contradiction, but rather great
similitude. The sole aim of England,
of the United States, Of Germany and
of France is to find in China vast
outlet for the products of their indus
try; in other words, to impose their
manufactures upon her, if need be, by
force. On the other hand, both Rus
sin and Japan desire to facilitate the
expectation to Europe of Chinese
products. Russia has not the slightest
apprehension of that approaching peril
of which we hear so much. Thanks
to her great railway, she is going to
be the intermediary between produc-
ing China and consuming Europe.
Her nascent industries will not suffer
by comparison with the skilled labor
of the yellow races, but she will be
able, in case Of need, to employ that
labor for the purpose of inundating
Europe with cheap wares. The agri.
cultural or mountainous provinces OF
Russia yield nothing at all resembling
The main products Of China. They
have nothing to lose and everything
to gain by being brought in contact
with the innumerable subjects of the
Celestial empire; and the immense
current of exchange which will be set
up between China and Russia will
bear life and prosperity to the steppes
of Siberia, causing them to become in
a short time one Of the worlds great
centres of agricultural production.
Nothing but profit can accrue to Rus
sia from the economical development
of China.

THE LAKE CITY MURDER
Brought Up In the Senate and Discussed
by That Body.

Brought Up In the Senate and Discussed
by That Body.
In the senate Thursday, reso-
luton was presented, providing
for On investigation into the
murder OF the postmaster at Lake
City, s. c., and his family and the
burning of his home. Mr.. McLaurin,
of South Carolina, said he had hoped
the resolution would go to the COM
mittee without debate. The state au-
thorities were active in their investi-
CATION of the crime, he said, and he
was assured that every effort was
being made to bring the perpetrators
of the outrage to justice.
He then had read clipping from
the Columbia, s. c., State, to show
that the people of South Carolina were
not in sympathy with those who COM
mitted the crime. but keenly repro
bated it.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on contingent expenses.

s'You have no idea how many Of these
department clerks tremble in their
boots for fear of losing their positions
with change OF administration and
enforcement Of the Civil Service rules.
The departments unfit both men and
women for any other occupation, You
would be surprised to know how
many Of the fashionable society men
are department clerks. Some OF the
most attractive among them get ma
iority of their meals out of society.
They rent room for a small amount,
and dine out every night, frequently
getting lunch or breakfast from a
friend, In return, they make it their
business to be entertaining and al.
ways in good humor, ready to be OF
service and to initiate new people

CLIFTON SUCCEEDS GAMBLER
As Secretary of State OF Georgia For the
Short Term.


Short Term.
Colonel William G. Clifton, Of
Darien, was appointed secretary Of
state Of Georgia Thursday by Gov
ernor Atkinson for the unexpired
term of Hon. Allen d. Gambler.
Colonel Clifton will be indicted
into office on March 31st, when the
resignation of Colonel Gambler takes
effect.
Colonel Clifton was born in Tatnall
county AZ years ago. He removed to
Chatham and from 1883 to 1892 repre-
scented that county in the state legisla-
ture. He was also chairman of the
democratic executive committee of the
first congressional district.
He was candidate for secretary Of
state in opposition to Colonel Gambler,
the present incumbent, and though he
only entered the contest about three
weeks before the convention was held,
he made a splendid and surprising
race, being narrowly defeated for the
nomination. He was elected secre-
tary Of the senate four years ago and
reelected for the succeeding term.
No man in Georgia is better known
or more popular than Colonel "Bill"
Clifton. His personal magnetism has
made him friends innumerable. He
states that he has no intention OF en-
tering the race for the long term and
had sought the appointment for the
honor which it call ies with it.

Congressman Are Patiently Awaiting Out
come OF Investigation.
A Washington special says: The
silence Of congress must not be mis-
understood. 1t is the calm that goes
before storm.
There is one thing certain, the pres
ident has got to act in conformance
with the ideas of the majority of con.
gress; if he does not, he will be re-
pudiated by his own party in the house
and possibly in the senate as well.
Neither the president nor Speaker
Reed could restrain congress if the
report of the court of inquiry bears
ont the impression now in the public
mind that the disaster was the result
Of treachery. -

MAY PROVE FORGERY.
Sensational Turn In tho Carter Courtmar-
tial Case at New York.

tiaI Case at New York.
The courtmartial convoked to try
Captain Carter, on charges Of con-
spiracy, embezzlement and conduct
unbecoming an officer, convened in
the army building at New York Wed.
nesday. Thomas F. Barr, assistant
Judge advocate general, stated that he
would offer in evidence vouchers and
checks given by Captain Carter in
payment for work done from January
to June, 1895, in the Improvement of
Cumberland sound, Georgia, and other
times, and that he would introduce in
connection oral testimony.
The first witness called was Conrad
N. Jordan, eI-sub-treasurer of the
United States in New York city. Mr..
Jordan identiged q large number Of
checks drawn by Captain Carter on
the sub-treasury to the order Of con-
tractors employed in doing the work
Of improvement in Savannah harbor
and at Cumberland sound, Ga. Some
OF these checks were drawn to the
order of Arson NJ. Bangs, but the
greater number to the order of John
f. Gaynor, president, or Edward H.
Gaynor, treasurer of the Atlantic Con-
tracing company.
The checks were for amounts vary
ing from $18 to $4,000. The aggre-
gate was not stated, but must have
been couple Of hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Jordan was briefly cross-exam-
ined by Frank p. Blair, of Chicago,
one OF Captain Carter's four COUNSEL
ors, whose questioning was directed
to show that some of the checks might
have been paid to the bank runners or
to some other person not nominated on
the check.
The object of Mr.. Jordan's testi-
mony was to establish the payment of
moneys and the identity of the persons
who received them in connection with
the work which was in charge Of the
defendant. It's special pertinenee lay
in the fact that Captain Carter is &C.
cused of having held stock in the EN-
pire Construction Company, which, as
charged, was subsequently metamor-
phosed into the Atlantic Contracting
Company, which by or through Cap
tain Carter was awarded the contracts
for nearly all the 100000 worth of
work done under his supervision dur
ing the last ten years.
David N. Carvalho, an expert in
handwriting, the next witness, identi-
fed certain papers presented as exhib-
its in the case which had been given
him for examination. Some of these
were bills presented by the Atlantic
Construction company and signed by
Edward H. Gaynor. Carvalho testi-
fed that in all of the cases the Gay
nor signature had been written by the
same man.
Continuing, the witness said that
the signature of Edward H. Gaynor,
treasurer, on receipt for $3.50, TAO. 80
being genuine and admitted, all the
fifteen signatures of Edward II. Gay
nor on the monthly bill were forgeries
or simulations OF Edward H. Gaynor's
handwriting.
