KentuckV's Namesake.


BELOW is printed letter received by
The News which relates to a plan
that has been adopted to raise the nee
essary funds to procure handsome
silver service for the battleship Ken
lucky" All patriotic Kentuckians
should give this matter proper attention.
Kentuckians can be COUNTED on to do
the royal thing by their States name
sake Read the letter:
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 81.
Dear Sir-The great battleship Ken
lucky" named in honor of the state,
was, in the presence If the governor
and many representative citizens from
all parts of the state of Kentucky,
launched March %, 1898, and will be
put i'll commission some time between
January lst and March 1st, 1899
The presence of Kentuckians at the
launching was merely preliminary
recognition of the honor done the state
by the government, and it was univer-
sally conceded that something more
substantial must be done by the peo-
pie of Ken ucky, and that when the
great ship shall have been COM
pleted, handsome silver service en-
bIazoned with the arms of the state,
should be presented.
Such has been the custom of all the
states which have been so honored by
the government. Kentucky, l know
will not be behind, but will rather ex-
eel them in the splendor of her gift and
the universally of the offering.
The gift will not cost less than ten
thousand dollars. 1t is proposed to
secure this amount by popular SUBJ
scriptiOn. Every town in the state CT
Kentucky should be represented, and
with the view of making the subscrip-
ton as general as possible. have ad-
dressed this letter to representative
citizens in every part of the state. No
one need fear that his subscription will
be too large, nor none so small that it
will be overlooked. We want both
dollars and dimes, for it is to be the
peoples gift.
With the gift to the ship Will 60 a list
of the contributors, and place of resi-
dence, (but not the amount), so in
making your contribution please write
yonI name and address distinctly.
Itisalso proposed TO publish SOU
venir book, which will contain cut of
the battleship Kentucky" with de-
scription cut and description of the
silver service IAN account of the launch
ing and the presentd ion; also names
of subscribers. The book will also
contain the latest revised list of the
American navy and other interesting
data. The publication of this book de-
ponds largely on the amount of the
subscription it will he sent free to
those who contribute 500 or more.
As chairman of the Finance Commit
tee ask your personal cooperation in
this work that you will at once take
this matter up with your neighbOrs to
the end that the call will be iliberallv
and promptly met.
The splendid achievements of the
American navy in the pres mt war
thrill every American heart with
pride whenever it is mentioned, and l
am persuaded that on this occasion
there will be no backwardness on 1.-THE
part of our people. but patriotic rival
rs as to who will give first and most.
Yours Respectfully,
HARRY MESSENGER,
Chairman Finance Committee.

MRS. JEFF DAVIS ON THE WAR.
She Thinks That This Country Ought

From the Macon (Ga.) Evening News.
The following extract from letter
written by Mrs. jefferson Davis to Mr..
Edgar S. Wilson of Macon is of interest:
81 am going down to Richmond on the
10th to see a very fine window put in to
my husbands memory; wish you could
be there 1t is great JOY TO me to know
that il is to be done. My little grandchid,
Lucy White Hays, is to draw part of the

few days in Washington and return home,
and want TO see your child before 1 go.
No late news from Winnie, so ] do not
know when she will be at home, but per-
haps soon, though not ian time TO be pres
ent in Richmond. The war news upsets
me like a renewal of the sorrows Of 1S61-65
The brunt of the war will be borne by
our dear people. The contracts which
bring money into the country will of
course all be in the North and after all is
over, we are bombarded and our cities on
the sea destroyed, we must pay our per-
centage of pensions. There must be some
outcome for us, but where l cannot see

miserable mulatto race in Cuba. should

TO nEoRGANIzE THE ARMY.
An Amended Bill Introduced in the
House by Chairman Hull.

From the New York Sun.
Washington, April 15.--Representative
Hull. chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs, to-day introduced bill pro-
viding for the reorganization of the army.
II is drawn SO as to remove the objec-
tons urged against the former bill, which
the House refused to approve and ordered
.recommitted. The new bill provides for
the two-battalion organization of each
regiment to be increased TO three battal-
ions in time of war. The war member
ship of each company of infantry may
be 100 enlisted men, of each troop OF cav
ally 100, and of each battery of heavy ar
tiHery 2O0 This will make the total war
footing of the regular army 1900 men, in
stead of 26,000 as at present, and 100000
under the former bill The provision au-
thorizing the practical drafting of the
state militia without their officers in time
of war as part of the regular army, which
met so great opposition in the House, has
been omitted.
The bill also provides that all promo
lions made necessary by its enactment
shall be according to seniority from the
next lowest grade in each arm, instead
of from the infantry only, as the former
bill proposed. The bill makes one a1di-
tional major for each regiment of Infantry
and one additional second lieutenant for
each battery of artillery in case of war.
1t is doubtful that this bill will meet with
much more favor than the former one, as
the sentiment of the House expressed in
the debate on that measure was opposed
to any increase of the regular army.

BANKER CLEw's VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

New York, April 16.-At the close. of
the week, prices do not vary much from
those of a week ago. There have been
ups and downs, but the one has about Off
set the other. The influx of gold shows
no abatement. The total amount received
or engaged for shipment now reaches $780,
100000, and It is estimated that about $780,
100000 of bills are still held in this coun-
try destined to bring hither that further
sum of gold.
The government March report on our
foreign trade shows another remarkable
addition to our foreign creditor trade bal
ance. The uncertainties connected with
our relations with Spain appear to have
had the effect of swelling our exports and
contracting our imports. The shipments
of merchandise fer March amount to $ll6,-
100000, against $92.2OOOOD for the same
month last year, showing an increase of
$24,600,000. The months imports, on the
contrary fell 81, $4,000 below those of 1897.
Comparing the inward and outward trade,
we have an excess of exports over inn
ports last month amounting 10 $5S, 100000,
while for the same time OF last year the
surplus of exports was only $4,000 600.
The extraordinary balance of trade in our
any abatement We have made net i'm
port of gold during the month amounting
to 295O0CC0: but that was largely due TO
bills of exchange drawn against exports
of previous months and held back for
temporary investment.
No nation was ever so near a war as
this and escaned from it; still, there Is yet
left some ground for hope Of a peaceful
settlement Much depends, however, upon
fiery speeches and their influence upon
Congress. Gen. Lees testimony before
the Senate committee of foreign affairs
was conservative and to his credit be-
cause it was devoid of sensational efforts.
Its effect, therefore, should be to tame
down rather than inflame the members of
Congress, and thereby prevent precipjtate
action such as would bring about hostlll-
ties.

and is in consequence a weak foe. Is not
Well taken In the event of Spain going
to war with this country 1t will certainly
be impossible for her to raise money by
the sale of her bonds, as they have al
ready some down to 1914, and in the event
OF hostiiities they will go down to proba-
bly, Is or less. She will, therefore, natural
ly abandon ambition to keep up ner ma
tional credit, and hence interest on her
outstanding obligations will be sure to be
defaulted on. This amounts TO ABOUT
