The friends of John $. Writ, Esq,

CANNOT RAISE THE MAINE.

Ii is presumed that the battle ship
Maiuc will not be stricken from the naval
register until after it has been finally cs-
tablishcI that the shattered hull cannot
be raised from the harhor of Havana.
Although there is scarcely ground for
the hope that the vessel can be raised and
restored to the navy, the department will
not abandon its efforts in that direction
until the wrcckcrs now at work upon it
report that it is impossible.
That the latter already take that view
of the subject is evident from the fact
that the mammoth floating derrick Mon
arch which was chartered conditionally
for raising the Maine, if such a thing were
found to be practicable, has not even
started on her proposed trip to Havana,
and the officials of the department have
practically concluded to abandon it.
Although there is not much prospect of
raising the Maine, there is good reason to
believe from the reports OF the divers that
many, if not all, Of the guns may he re-
covered eventually from the wreck and
put where they may be able to render
good service.

NEARING \ CRISIS.

The feeling is universal throughout
official circles in Washington that the
elimination of the Spanish crisis is
near ut hand. With the report Of the
Maine Court OF Inquiry only Il little
while Oft, with the White House the
centre of long and earnest conferences
between the President and the party
leaders of Congress. and with cNccp-
tional activity towards emergency
preparations in the War aud Navy
Departments. there is abundance of
the Maine disaster and the Cuban qncs-
ton in general are about to be reached.
The call Of Messrs. Cockrell ana
Turpie is regarded as particularly sig
niiicant, as they are representative
Democrats in the Senate and their visit
followed that of Senator German on
Tuesday. 1t was generally understood
that in the present emergency the
President desires patriotic unity with
out reference to party. Secretaries
Long and Alger have had long and
frequent conferences with the Prcsi-
dent. 1t was thought that the Maine
report would rcacl, Washington last

y dispatch from Salisbury Maryland, to
II. Jackson is arranging experiments in
raising early canteloupcs. On the lot adj
joining his greenhouses, in Camden. he
has had fourteen pits built. Tne pits are
constructed of brick, and are about ninety
feet long, all covered with glass. More
than $50 large sash were used in covering
the pits. For several days workmen have
been busy planting the canteloupe seed
The seeds are first planted in small bas-
kets about three inches square by six
inches deep. These baskets are then
planted in the pits and covered even to
the tops of the basket with rich manure
Each basket will contain one vine After
the vines have reached a certain growth
the baskets will be taken up and trans
planted on the farms Of Mr. Jackson,
without disturbing the roots i'll any way
Sixty thousand baskets have been so
arranged and Mr.. Jackson expects to
have canteloupcs for market at least three
weeks earlier than this climate usually
grows them. The Jennie Lind variety
is what Mr.. jackson has used exclusive
ly
At the same place Mr. Jackson is also
planting $4,000 tomato plants, which have
been grown in the lighthouses. in baskets,
which will also be transplanted on the
farms for early market.
The pits have been arranged each with
q water pipe attached. and twice each
day the plalts are sprinkled. After these
vines have been removed, the pits will
be used to grow viulctS and pansics for
city markets. If the experiment proves
successful, next session will find enough
pits to hold several hundred thousand
plants each of tomato and cantcloupe.
Sometime during the next fcw'montS Mr.
Jackson Will have erected near the green
house a new glass building, II by l.j
feet, which vii! be used exclusively to
crow thrys lnthcmumS for city markets.
The entire work is under the supervision
of Mr.. Jackson's florist Mr. Frank Kcnndy
who have had a wide experience in such
matters. and who seems to be the right
man for the place. We hope the expert
ments may prove successful, as it will give
employment to Il large number of people,
