BIG AND LITTLE WARSHIPS.

The loss of the battleship Maine inn poses loss of over four million dol lars upon the United States govern ment. That loss can be met, and a new battleship can be built; but the families of the dead sailors can never be repaid for their terrible losses.
 The apparent ease with which a great battleship was transferred into a mass of junk has naturally revived discussion of the effectiveness of the modern war vessels. The fight be- tween two modern warships during the war between China and Japan demon- strated that while one vessel could be more damaged than the other, and while more men could be killed on one than upon the other both vessels could be crippled and nearly every man on board either killed or injured for life. When the two warships in Chinese wa ters came out of the fight they were little less than floating slaughter houses.
 The plan of mammoth vessels, with their intricate machinery, makes them vulnerable at almost any point if a blow is struck in the right place. Every modern warship that goes down means terrible loss of life and tremendous loss of money. Admiral Coulumb of the British navy has no faith in the practical workings of these large warships He advocates instead the building of more smaller craft-torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers. A score of them can be built for the same money that 1t takes to build one huge ironclad. The small CT boats move quicker and can be handled easier. When one is lost the fatalities are small and the monetary loss is insignificant.
 If it can be shown that the Maine was destroyed by torpedo 1t will be made clear beyond question that tor pedo boats are the real naval fighting craft of the future. The British ad- miral applies an old proverb to this question and remarks that it is not wise to place all of ones eggs in the same basket. The modern warship, so far as actual service in battle is to be considered, is yet merely an experi- ment. What happened to the Maine while resting at anchor in the harbor of Havana in a time of peace could happen to other battleships in time Of actual war.

The esteemed Gazette takes the go,

The esteemed Gazette takes the gov ernor to task for his expressions rela- tive to the circulating medium and in dulges in remarks which show that notwithstanding it's deep reading On heard of Gresham's law. We recom- mend to our contemporary close scrut- iny of that law. It is unpopular with the free silverite masses, we concede but broad gauge newspaper like the Gazette cannot fail to see it's applica- bility to the question at issue.

A war with Spain would at least have the value of showing us our weak points as well as our strong ones. Con- gress and a large part of the American press have acted for some time past as if we had no weak points, and nothing but bitter lesson in experience will ever convince them to the contrary We would have several doors to lock after the horses had been stolen.

nishing fresh beef, I respectfully recon-
mend that the matter be investigated by
experts making a cumulative and quala-
tive chemical analysis of the several pre-
servatives suspected to be used. by getting
samples of the beef furnished for export
TO Cuba and Porto Rico
If the question arises that report
should have been made by me earlier,
beg to say that have endeavored with
all my opportunities to first inform myseh
by observation of the conditions above
noted sufficiently to warrant my drawing
the attention of the adjutant general at
headquarters of the army TO the matter.
Very respectfully, W. H. DAILY,
Major and Chief Surgeon. U. 5. V.
GARRETsON CONDEMNS IT.
Cleveland. Ohio. Dec. 9O.-Genera1 Gorge
A. Garretson of this city. who commanded
a division in Porto Rico. agreed today
with General Miles that the canned beef
furnished the army. was. 70 a large ex-
tent unfit for use.
The general said today that large
amount Of the meat had to be thrown
away by the commissary officers OF his
division.
Garretson. "was every bit as bad as is re-
ported Considerable canned beef to.ally
unfit for the use of human beings was Dis
covered by the commissary officers OF the
division I commanded.
when the matter was reported 70 ne
I ordered all meat unfit for use to be de-
stroyed.
"I had previously seen 20 Il that large
number Of beeves had been taken with the
division. These were slaughtered as they
were needed. In that way we mad as
much fresh meat as possible and used a.
little Of canned stun as we could possibly
get along with. There is no doubt TIA;
this bad meat was the cause OF large
part OF the sickness among the men n
several instances whole lots OF the stun
had TO be destroyed"

COULDN'T AGREE ON TERMS
Missouri Pacific Lets SO Central
Branch Lines West Of WatervilIe.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. S0.-A special
from Atchison, Kan, says:
1t is stated that the Central Branch lines
west of Waterville will, in a few weeks.
pass out of the control of the Missouri Pa
cific. The Central Branch. running from
Waterville to Lenora, is owned principally
by Boston capitalists, except some extern
sions made by. the Missouri Pacific. The
Missouri Pacific has for some time, it is
said, been making negotiations FOR the pur-
chase Of the entire road, but it is now
given out that no terms could be agreed
on. The Missouri Pacific recently pur-
chased the branch from Atchison to Wat
erville. 1t is said that the Zines west of
Waterville will be operated by the Boston
capitalists as a separate organization or
sold to some other road"
