NOT QUITE AN APRIL SHOWER.
The TaiI-End of Furious Storm
Visits Washington.

Washington is catching the tail end Of a severe
storm that has been raging in the Southwest for
several DAYS. This morning at O'Clock it was
ccutered over the central part of South Carolina
and was rapidly moving northeast. Snow and
rain has been falling almost constantly since
long before daybreak this morning, and the at
mosphere has been anything but Spring like.
There has not this much fallen in Wash
ington in the month Of April in the memory Of
the Oldest inhabitant; there have been snow
storms. but they did not amount TO much. To-
morrow. however. we will haze better weather.
The official iorecaster saws it will be clear. but
colder A fearful storm is sweeping the Atlantic
coast todav Ii is one of the worst of the year.

The Lack of Men,

The lack of men for naval crews in
the East has led to proposition to send
the enlisted force now on the Pacific
coast to the Atlantic. The men will
probably be brought by special trains,
which will come through on express
time They will be distributed to ships
which sadly need experienced men. and
department people believe 1t will be an
easy matter to secure efficient men to
replace them on the Pacific coast.

National Guard Epcampmrnts.

Secretary Alger IS considering the adj
visibility of suggesting 10 the State au-
thorities the encampment of National
Guard organizations in the respective
States. Ii is expected that some such
concentration Of citizen sOldiery will be
of benefit to them in getting them down
to camp life, the discipline of the field.
and in the practice work which will be
possible under such conditions.

ILLUSTRATES THE TRAGEDY.
A Congressman From Pennsylvania
shows How the Maine Mas Lost.

A member Of the House from Pennsyl-
vania treated some Of his associates to-
day TO an ingenious Illustration of the
explosion Of the Maine.
Ii consisted Of a small picture much
like a newspaper cut of a warship at
anchor, the wharves with forts near
them in fun sight. At one corner a Span
ish officer is depicted in fun uniform
standing erect and wearing an aspect Of
benignant peace. Screened behind this
officer is another in STOPPING posture
handling machinery that eXplodes a mine
under the ship.
A touch of a lighted ciger at the spot
where the concealed Spaniard is operat-
ing runs a small string of fire along un-
der the surface Of the water Of the har-
Dor and when Il reaches the bow of the
ship an explosion occurs which leaves
only torn and blasted paper.

IN THE SENATE
Pacific Coast Ship Owners Are Charged
With Extortion

WASHINGTON, June'9.-At today's ses-
sion of the senate, Carter of Montana, in
connection with the rejection by the gov
eminent of the steamship Centennial as
a transport, made some ugly charges
against the shipowners on the Pacific
coast. He said they had been endeavoring
to hold up the government and compel 1t
to pay inordinate and extraordinary prices
for ships to be used to transport troops to
the Philippines. Perkins of California de-
MED the statement of Carter, declaring
that the vessel owners of San Francisco
had placed their ships at the disposal of
the government at rate fully so per cent
less than they usually received for them.
Lodge of Massachusetts made some SEN
sational disclosures concerning the disposi-
ton of the money appropriated by con-
gress a short time ago in payment of the
claims of the book concern of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South. He intro
duced a resolution directing the claims
committee to make an investigation of the
matter and report to the senate what, if
any action could be taken.
The omnibus claim bill, carrying some
thing over 100000 private pension bills
and several measures from the general
calendar were passed.
When the senate reconvened house bill
making certain grants of land to the ter
ritory of New Mexico for educational pur-
poses was reported by the committee on
public lands and passed.
Gallinger of New Hampshire reported
from the committee on commerce provid-
ing American registry for the steamers
Olympia, Victoria Tacoma Columbia,
Arizona and Argyle, of the Northern Pa
cifc Steamship Company. He expressed
the hope that the bill would be passed at
once, as the ships were needed by the gov
eminent to transport troops to Manila
Philippine Islands. The vessels are at pres
ent flying the British flag.
Gallinger said that the war department
had found it difficult to obtain transport
ships on the Pacific coast. One of the YES
sells secured. the Centennial. had been
found unseaworthy, and it was the pur-
pose of the committee on commerce to take
steps to secure the repeal Of the act pro-

Mako Dewey Admiral.

If William T.. Sampson IL 20 be
jumped from captain to rear-admiral
for what nc did during the war, then
certainly George Dewey has not been
rewarded one. half enough. we call at
tention TO the letter elsewhere IN which
the statement Is made by an ex-naval
officer that Dewey would have become
rear admiral anyway within six
months: hence the only substance in
the reward thus far accorded to him
was the honor involved In a vote of
thanks by congress. Yet the best of
Dewcy's work had not been done at
the time this honor was conferred.
Since he annihilated Montojos fleet he
has had to deal with diplomatic prob
lens more delicate, perhaps, than any
that ever previously came within the
province Of an American naval COM
mander, but through It all. though in
a regular maelstrom of conflicting dip
lomatic ambitions and rivalries. he has
kept his head and made not a single
mistake.
We believe we are expressing the
can people when we say that brilliant
as has been the career of our navy
since the first ship in It hoisted its flag
there has not been n greater victory
under any colors than that at Manila
nor an officer in uniform who has
shown himself more deserving of rec
ognition and reward than Rear Ad-
miral George Dewey. IL we measure
his rank by the thoroughness with
which every duty devolving upon him
has been performed, then the rank OF
admiral is none too high for him: If
we measure 1t by the far-reaching ad-
vantage which his work has brought
to his countrymen in prestige and op-
portunity then his place is at the head
of the list, without a rival in sight.
In manliness, in courage, and in
efficiency he is the best that our navy
has produced; let him therefore have
corresponding honors.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-08-12
Anthracite Coal and Gas.

The suggestion of the Engineering
and Mining journal that the output Of
our anthracite mines be converted at
the mines into gas and conveyed thence
through pipes to large cities, there to
be distributed to individual consumers
for use either as fuel or as power, is
simply an elaboration of an old propO-
sition for the utilization of our culm.
If not impractical it is at this time at
least wholly fanciful and cannot be
said to offer additional hope. So long
as bituminous coal is transported by
the common carriers at rates from one
seventh to one-tenth of those charged
for the transportation of anthracite it
is not to be expected that anthracite
gas could obtain or hold the field
against the btuminous product.
The immediate and almost the sole
problem now confronting the independ-
ent producers of hard coal is how to
get fair treatment from the railway
companies. Energies needed in the
solution of this problem will not be
diverted to side issues Two means of
approaching this end appear and both
will be pursued. The projected indie
pendent rail outlet to tidewater will
be pushed and effort will be made to
discover what vitality remains in the
interstate commerce law. The earnest
prosecution of these parallel lines of
activity may result in the liberation of
more or less oratorical gas, but that is
as far as gas will figure in the prob
lem,
