The impression seems to prevail in
some quarters that the sending OF Ad-
mlral Watson's fleet to Spanish waters
is intended solely to prevent Admiral
Camara from going TO the Philippines
Is erroneous. There is no question
That this movement has been nuder
consideration for some time, and it is
the liked intention of the government
to send the vessels to SPANS home
waters whether Camara's fleet pro-
ceeds to the Philippines or not. If it
returns and comes within striking dis
lance of Commodore Watson's power
full squadron, it is confidently expect
ed by the president and the members
OF the cabinet that it will be crushed
thus utterly destroying SPANS power
on the sea.

In a recent opinion the Attorney
General holds that where county of.

penaed as witnesses in another county
they are entitled to only mileage be-
tween the points travelled, but are not
entitled to per diem, as the law con-
templates they shall give all their

the expense of witnesses from out of
the state, from the points where they
were served with subpenaes to the
state line, under the law they are en-
titled to mileage, and per diem in
reaching the state line. lis true that
they could not be compelled to obey
process of the court as the courts jur-

the duty of the state and the county
to see that they are compensated

Maj. RosseIl Reports FavorabIy
On a Deep Water Project

WASHINGTON. d. G., Dec. Z, 1893.
The chief of engineers has SUBMIT
ed to Congress a report made by Mai.
Rossell on a survey OF a pass from the
Gulf OF Mexico into Horn Island har-
Dor, which was ordered at the last
session OF Congress. Major Rossell
states there is a depth Of 10 feet at
mean low water over the shoal at the
outer bar, and that the channel
through cannot be permanently i'm
proved by dredging. He is OF the
opinion that am Improvement OF the
anchorage at Horn Island warranted
by the present available depth across
the outer bay Is worthy Of being un-
dertaken by the government, IL there
is a fair prospect of the same being
reasonably permanent. He estimates
$4,000 the cost Of the required dredg.
ing to secure an anchorage at Horn
Island 20 feet deep at low water; and,
in view Of the Improvement being
reasonably permanent, he is of the
opinion the work should be undertake
en- by the government. The chief OF
engineers concurs.

CONGRESSMAN McLAIN'S VISIT.

We feel that in the election OF Con

a lded a member to that honorable

something Of the magnitude of oul

needed appropriation granted US for
the deepening OF our channel.
During his visit he was simply won
der struck at the immensely OF the

we all know that Mr.. McLain cannot
accomplish our desires alone, hut we
are satisfied we have the right man in
the right place. and that all his efforts
for us Is bound to have an influence

Congress convened last Monday.
The same Congress six months e de.
clared war against Spain, and now
with the war fought and won it comes
together for the legislation of the
questions developed by ,the %eventful
months just passed. The few months
left to the existence of the 'Fifty.dfth
Congress gives promise of little more
than a beginning on the moment0us
question and problem growing out OF
the war. Mr.. Morgan, OF Alabama,
was the first Senator to enter the
chamber and closely following him
came the octogcnarian, Mr.. Morrill,
OF Vermont. One by one the members
dropped into the chamber ana the

A call OF the Senate developed the

PRESIDENT McKINLBY's MESSAGE.


Space will not allow, nor do VIZ
think 1t necessary, to copy the mes
sage OF President Mckinley intact, as
all who take the dailies have already
read 1t. Taken as a whole, we consid.
or 1t not only a masterful piece OF
work, but the whole message, from be.
ginning to end, displays the charac.
ter of the man, loyal, brave, honest
and straightforward. His reference
to Cuba is copied below and we hope
our readers will appreciate, as we do,
the fatherly care he proposes for one
of the most degenerate races on the
face Of the earth:
"As soon as we are in possession OF
Cuba and have pacIfled the island, it
will be necessary to give aid and de-
clsion to its people to form a govern
ment Of themselves. 1t should he I'M
dertaken at the earliest moment con-
sistent with safety and assured sue
cess. 1t is important that our rela-
tions with these people shall be of the
most friendly character and our COM
mercial relations close and reciprocal.
1t should be our duty to assist in
every proper way to build up the
waste places Of the island, encourage
the industry Of the people and assist
them to form IA government which
shall be free and independent, thus
realizing the best aspirations of the
Cuban people. Spanish rule must be
replaced by a just, benevolent and hui
name government, created by the peo-
pie OF Cuba, capable OF performing all
international obligations and which
shall encourage thrift, industry and
prosperity, and promote peace and
good will among all of the inhabi-
tants, whatever may have been their
relations in the past. Neither re-
venge or passion should have a place
In the new government. Until there
IS a complete tranquility in the is
land and a stable government inaugu.
rated military occupation will be con
tinued."
The President, recognizing the
needs for the public defense, recon-
mends an increase of the regular
army to a force OF 100, 900 men, and
proposes to enroll in its organization
recruits from among the able-bodied
population Of the islands that have
come under national control. The in
crease OF the RAINY as 0 as possible
IS urged, so that the volunteers now
the military service may be
mustered out. No provision for
public defense would be COM
or effective if the navy were
ct out of the account. Therefore the
approves the recommended
ions of the Secretary for more war
