GERMAN-AMERlCAN
 REGIMENT RENDERED

Washington, July GA delegation of representative German-American citizens of Chicago called upon President McKin- ley today to tender to him the German American regiment, recently organized by German-American citizens of the state of Illinois, principally of Chicago The offer was based on the fact that the German Americans have at all times been ready to Loyalty support the government of the United States and more especially in times of a crisis like the present, and that they were thoroughly in accord with the wise and conservative course of the president.
 The president was seemingly touched by the expressed sentiments. and said the loy- alty of the German-Americans was un- doubted and undsputed and although there were many German-Americans already en- listed, he would be only too glad to accept the offer if existing laws would empower him to do so. He said he was present ct Washington when Secretary Seward, about to inform our ministers abroad of the fall of Richmond asked President Lincoln what he should say to the minister in Germany. 'Tell him. said Lincoln, "that the Ger field in defense of the unon."
 MT. Mckinley expressed his wish to have an opportunity to comply with the request and thanked them heartily for the tender of the regimuent The committee left with the impression that such an op- portunity is near at hand.

LULU AT CHICKAMAUGA PARK

Chickamauga National Park, Ga., July 6-The order issued yesterday flor the Sec ond brigade of the first division, first corps, under command of General Haines to pro- ceed at once to Charleston was today re- scined, which brought another Hull at the park. The first brigade under General Ernst got off all right as indicated in these despatches yesterday, and only routine matters engaged the chief officers at the park today. The army was engaged all day In carrying forward their daily work, now including target practice, number of very fine rife ranges having been estab- lished for this purpose.
 About 200 recruits arrived today. The regiments are now practically all recruited to their full strength. The government paymasters will soon have completed their work at Camp Thomas.
 There are now 160 patients in the Letter hospital, including number of fever cases. The fever patients have nearly all been removed from the division hospitals.
 Louis H. Triplett, First Illinois cavalry, today drank a small bottle of diluted car bolic acid, mistaking it for whisky, and died in great agony at the hospital In an hour afterwards. He comes from Chicago where he leaves a family. The mixture was used by the regimental farrier in car ing for the horses.

THE BRITIsHeFLEET
VIII Soon Be Able to Core With France, Ger
 many and Russia.

From the Indianapolis News.
 In answer to an alarm raised by Lord Charles Beresford in connection with the relative strength of the British and other European navies, the Westminster Gazette publishes figures to show that whatever may have been the case short time ago, England will soon be in position to hold the sea even against the combined naVies of France Russia and Germany. The writer points out that ships built before 1889 are now of very little account as fight ing factors. It is shown, also, that be- tween 1880 and 1890 Great Britain neglected her navy to an astonishing degree. In that time she built only thirteen battle ships and twelve cruisers, against the twenty-two battleships and ten cruisers launched in France, Germany and Russia.
 It is in the present decade, however, that she is making rapid strides in naval power. For these ten years, between lS9O and 19OO her building programme includes thirty-two battleships and forty-two cruisers, against thirty-seven cruisers of France, Germany and Russia. In torpedo boats she is not much richer than the three powers, but she possesses an enor- nous advantage in torpedo boat destroyers. It is shown, also, that England is build ing much more cheaply than her neighbors, for, in ten years, France spent 2s,00O,00o pounds for sixteen battleships and fifteen cruisers, while England spent 56,00O,OOO pounds for thirty-two battleships and for ty-tWo cruisers.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION.
From the Huntsville Mercury


 In his speech at Tuscumbia Saturday Governor Johnston demonstrated very clearly that his opponent candidate, Deans, has no claim upon the people for the high office of governor of Alabama. A complete analysis of his record proved to such of Deans followers as were present at Tus- cumbia that his senatorial career was purely local and not in any way indicative of the ability that should be, possessed by the chief executive of Alabama.
 With reference to his own management of state affairs, the governor was disposed to be little enthusiastic, but probably not more so than others would have been under the same circumstances. He has caused a strict accounting to the state by custodians of public funds and in that way has turn ed into the treasury a neat sum of money that would otherwise have been lost to the state. Upon the whole his administration has been successful and deserves the in- dorsement 1t will undoubtedly receive.
 With two tickets in opposition to the state democratic nominees there can be no doubt about the success of the entire democratic ticket. In other days when the opposition was bound together by a mixed ticket the democratic majority was handsome, and now when the enemy is divided our major ity should cross the fifty thousand mark.

RUMORED IRON MOVEMENTS.
a the Manufacturers Record.

From the Manufacturers Record.
 It Is reported that plans are being made for the combination of the steel and iron companies of the country in syndicate in which J. P. Morgan and the Rockefellers will be dominant. This plan is said to mean the absorption of the Illinois Steel, the Carnegie, the Minnesota Iron and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com panies, and to include the control of the sources of supply of both iron ore and coking coal. As straws indicating the pos- sibility of such a combination may be men, toned the recent organization of the Ma ton Association of the manufacturers or Non- -Bessemer Iron, with MT. Nathaniel Baxter jr., president of the Tennessee coal, Iron and Railroad company, as president, the subscription by one of the Morgan in terests to the stock of the Alabama Steel and Shipbuildng company, recently organ ized and the fact that two or three years ago MT. Oliver H. Payne, of the Standard oil, became a director in the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company. It will be recalled that at the time the Manufac- turers' Record stated that it was under stood that MT Payne had made a careful investigation of the iron and steel-making advantages of Alabama, and that this prob ably meant that the Standard Oil interests would become active in the industrial de- velopment of the south. The general ten dency of the great aggregations of capital in this country formed for the purpose of securing the most economic production and marketing is to find their home and their widest field of operations ultimately in the region of cheapest production The south has all the resources at hand to meet the requirements of cheapest production and if the rumored combination should be made it must be for the advantage of that re- zion,

DESTRUCTION OF
 RE|NA MERCEDES
The Last Ship of Admiral Ger vera's Once Powerful Cape
 Verde Squadron.
Copyright by the Associated Press.)

Copyright by the Associated Press.)
 Headquarters of General Shafter, Tues day, July 5, by the Associated Press Dis patch Boat Dandy, via Port Antonio and Kingston, July 6, D. m.-The destruction of the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes last night (Monday) accounts for the last ship of Admiral Cervera's once splendid squadron. She lies today in plain view, her bow resting on the base of the beach under Fl Moro. Part of the hull is above water and her masts and two stacks are entirely out of the water. It is not yet known whether she attempted to escape from the harbor or whether the Spaniards tried to sink her near the hull of the Mer- rimac and thus block the entrance to pre- vent the Americans from getting in.
 Her sinking was most dramatic Just af- out of the narrow entrance by one of the American scouts. In a moment the fleet was ablaze with signals and almost in- stantly an awful hail of shells was ham mering down upon her. It is not known whether or not she returned the fire, but the shore batteries opened up, and one 6-nch shell fell on the Indiana's forward deck, exploding below. The explosion oc- cured in the mems sleeping rooms, but all were at quarters and no one was hurt.
 No other American ship was hit during the engagement-an incident which lasted only few minutes.

 DISORDERS FEARED AMONG MILITARY

Madrid July 6, 4 p. m.-The authorities kept the disaster to Admiral Cervera's s squadron a secret as long as possible and even suppressed the extra edition of the newspapers giving the facts.
 The official confirmation, therefore, caused a tremendous impression, especially in naval and military circles, where the government is accused of ordering Ger vera to make a sortie, despite the known opposition of naval experts.
 The troops are confined to barracks, as disorders are feared, but up to this hour there have been no disturbances in Madrid or the provinces.

CONGRESS- MAY ADJOURN TOMORROW

Washington, July Cit is believed con- gress will adjourn Friday oh Saturday. The passage of the Hawaiian resolutions and the general deficiency bill, both of which will go to the president tomorrow, leaves no legislation of importance Q be con- sidered of which there is hope of passage at this session. In the house there is the international bank bill and in the senate the bill to allow volunteers to vote, may be pressed, but it is not believed a quorum could be secured. Unobjected business will no doubt be considered and some military bills may be brought forward. There are quite number of resolutions pending in the senate, but those to which there is any objection are not likely to be acted upon. Senators and representa- tives are anxious to get away and the belief Is that final ad- journment will be on Friday.
