FEAR POISON.

The Japan Times says that two
prominent German firms of Yokohama
have recently received large orders for
-four, breadstuffs, etc. to be sent by n
chartered. steamer TO Kiaochow for
the troops at present stationed there.
1t is further stated that these articles
were to be purchased in Japan. owing
to the German authorities fearing that
if they were gotten in China. cases of
poisoning might occur, similar to
those which took place during the
first few years of the British occupa-
ton of Hougkong.

A Hero of Two Wars.

The story of the first battle before San
tiago has not been fully told but it is
known that the stubborn contest was
fought by General Joe Wheeler. 1t is
plain, too. that Alabamas untring COM
mander possesses the confidence of General
cles generally. The expert soldiers of the
country have great faith in his capacity
and skill as a soldier. and through them it
came about that he was selected to go with
the first expeditionary army, and to lead
the first charge against the Spaniards. The
honor thus conferred upon him. is an honor
to the entire state.
Alabama's great soldier promises to be
heard from throughout the entire Santiago
campaign, and probably to the end of the
war. He is indefatigable, and every sue
cess he achieves will secure to him farther
opportunities. 1t may be his good fortune
to enter Santiago first, and to be the means
of rescuing the hero of the Merrimac from
the hands of the enemy. The veteran
commander and the young naval officer
will surely meet in Santiago, and the scene
may be one that will be reproduced on can
vass.
The people of the Tennessee valley are
proud of Little Joe. and we'll they may be.
He is Alabama s first soldier in this war.
He is honored and trusted by the army.
His services promise to be of inestimable
value. not only to Alabama, but to forty
four other states as well. He is serving
seventy millions of people, and the eyes of
that vast number are upon him He is
engaged in changing the map of the world.
He is fighting humanity's battle. He is
knocking at the door of Hobson's prison
house. If to him should fall the task
of entering the city first and of releasing
Hobson the people of Alabama. and par
ticularly of the Tennessee valley, will honor
him as they have never honored him be-
fore. He promises to become a hero of
two wars.

Spooking at Port Said.

Admiral Camara did go to Port Said:
but that he went there expecting to go
through the Suez canal no one this MORN
ing will for one minute believe. The re
coaling of the ships was an essential and
vital condition of sailing at all, and if the
Spanish government had really desired to
send Camara's fleet to the Philippines it
would have ascertained by wire what the
situation at Port Said would be in case
the fleet went there preparatory to the
passage of the canal. The Spanish consul
at Port Said or the Spanish consul-general
minister at Cairo could have soon made
Madrid acquainted with the facts of the
situation. Nothing of the kind was at
tempted. The fleet steamed to the wester-
ly end of the canal and was refused COAL
And So it must return home. But it need
not sail back. 1t can await GOLFERS from
home, and then proceed to coal in the open
sea. That would, however, mean business,
and Camara has no intention and never
had an intention of going to the Philip
pines.
The coal supply question has long been
as plain as a pike staff Neutras will
furnish coal to ships of a bellgerent to
enable them to reach their nearest home
port, and no jockeying is permitted.
Camara can have coal to carry him to
Barcelona or Cadiz, but he cannot have
coal for trip to Manila. He knew the
rule as we'll before sailing from home as he
knows 1t now. The whole matter is a
piece of spooking of a highly ridiculous
and attenuated nature.
The authorities at Port Said would do
this country kindness If they would fill
Admiral Camara's bunkers and let him go
his way unmolested. He would find Ad-
miral Dewey ready to welcome him with
hospitable hands to the submarine ceme-
terry he has established in Manila bay.
THE cruiser Charleston and the monitor
Monterey are now doubtless in or near
Manila, and the double-turreted Monad-
mock would be there in time to assist in
blowing Camara's ships out of the water.
II he should seek some OIL Philippine
port than Manila, George Dewey would
soon drop around to see him, and the

You see nothing. Their consequent upon
the handling of the Philippine question,
which should require us to make alliances
with other nations?v
Connected with any event that Is like
ly to grow out of our relations TO the Phil
ippines that is now within the range of
probabilities, there is no occasion to desire
a league or combination with any Euro
pean or Asatic power
our national independence includes the
other nations as an essential element of
its value. Men have come to these shores
to be rid of the domination Of other DOW
ers. They have taken UP their abode in
a land whose policy since the formation
of its government has been to hold aloof
from the monarchies of Europe. The
American people, those who have had these
traditions handed down to them through
generations which have dwelt in the land,
and those who are snew to our country,
but love our Institutions and have chosen
them for their own, would resist the
thought of binding up this nation with the
countries of the old world by even the
slightest bonds of political union.
ut is not that we are selfish, or not
kindly responsive to sentiments of good will
from other nations, that we reject all over
lures for alliance. 1t is BECAUSE we intend
to be just and feel able to sustain our
own upon the God of justice for our help. :"

THE ENsLFy Steel MILL

From the Manufacturer (Philadelphia).
The manufacture of steel on an extensive
scale in Birmingham, Ala, now seems
to be a settled fact. 1t was certain that
the establishment of this very important
Industry would no be long deferred since
iron is so cheap in that district. The
shipping facilities both to home and for
eign buyers seem to be very good and
there has been every encouragement for
some time for capitalists to invest their
money in this business Mr.. James Bowron,
of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, at the recent session of the
American Foundrymen's association, told
the story of the remarkable development of
the Alabama iron industry to the marvel
of his many hearers. 1t is this company
which is standing behind the new Alabama
steel plant. Mr.. Bowron says that ball
could be shot from a revolver at the top
of blast furnace in the Birmingham dis
trict into ore mines, coal mines, coke ovens
and limestone quarries, so that everything
is at mans right hand to encourage him
to engage in iron and steel production.
Rather curiously the new organization is
to be known as the Alabama Steel and
Shipbuilding company, though beyond MAX
ing the ship plates, unless 1T should es-
tablish branch on the coast somewhere
1t is not likely to figure very prominently
as q shlpbulder. The main plant, which
it is said will cost 81 900, 900 is to be located
at Ensley City, about six miles out of Biz
mingham. This will be the first large steel
mill south of the Ohio river; it will be-
as we understand it, only the second steel
mill of any kind in the south, the Birming-
ham roller mills few months since having
begun steel production, though on limited
scale. To say that the organization of this
new company is agreat event in the econo.
mic development of this vast country Is
to use feeble words in describing it, and
the progress and the growth of the plant
will be watched with widefelt interest.

Territorial Acquisition.

In his long service in the senate and on
the foreign affairs committee of that body
Senator John T, Morgan has acquired a
knowledge which entities his views on
territorial acquisition at this time to deep
consideration on the part of the govern
his views on this subject are fully e&-
pressed. AS is usual with Alabamas SEN
ator he is plain spoken and broad in his
views. He demonstrates his thorough
Amercanism, and lays down principles
which no true American can fail to indorse.
The meat of his remarks is expressed in
this paragraph:
"What we can do in the Philippines, with
out a strain upon our policies or traditions,
is to hold the military control of those
islands until the people there have estab-
lished a government suited to the peculiar
condition of their population and their
wants. This may require a protracted pc
riod of military occupation, but that will
be incidental to the permanent occupation
of port which will be suitable for naval
station that our, commercial interests re-
quire us to establish and maintain. When
peace and a rightful and stable civil gov
eminent are established in the islands by
the natives, our military forces there
should be reduced to the requirements of a
permanent naval station"
This view of the Philippine problem is a
good illustration of Senator Morgan's prac-
teal and Vigorous Americanism. He never
sinks the country in theoretical refinements.
He is never. pessmistic. From his view
point the country is never going to the
dogs 1t is.the other fellows who are going
there. He is hopeful, helpful American,
every time, and over every public ques-
ton
This is perhaps the secret of hispopularity
throughout the country. He is an Amer
lean that no namby -pambyism, no musty
precedents, no diettanteism can dwarf or
silence mislead.

Some of the 5-inch and all of the lesser
ca.ibres are rapid-fire guns.
The powder charges are, roughly, about
oneahalf of the proieotile.
The smaller guns composing the second
airy batteries are one, three, six and twelve
FOUNDERS. mostly of the Hotchkiss and
Driggs-Schroeder patterns. The machine
guns are of several patterns, including the
Gattling, Colt. Hotchkiss, Maxim and Max
im-Nordenfeldt.
The small arms consist of the modified
Lee magazine rifle, ealiber .236, and the
Colt revolver calber .3S.
The projeetiles used are shells and shrap-
mel the former being of two varieties, COM
mon and armor-piercing. Common shells
are of cast a.eel, and are exploded by. per-
cussion fuses. Armor-piercing shells are of
highly tempered steel with specially hard
ened heads. to prevent them from breaking
up on contact with armor A small nose
cap is commonly put on the tip. to preserve
the latter until 1t has entered the armor
Amor piercing shells have no fuses, and
are exploded by the heat engendered by
the friction of piercing.
Nickel-slleathed bullets used in the
small-arm rifle and ordinary lead bullets
in the revolver.
Nearly all the torpedoes are of the White
head type, carrying $50 pounds of gurco.ton,
and propelled by a gas engine within, al
though there a few Howell torpedoes, which
are driven through the water by f1y-wheel
rapidly revolving. Torpedoes are launched
through the tubes on board ship by means
of exploding a small charge of powder.
Sword bayonets are provided for the rifles,
and cutlasses are still in use.

The Stamp Tax.

The war taxes will come into full op-
GRAFTON next Thursday. Nearly every legal
and commercial paper must then bear
government stamp, and the penalty for
neglect to affix one is heavy, and will be
enforced as soon as a supply of stamps is
at hand. The government is printing about
ten million stamps a day, and these are
dispatched at once to the sixty-seven coll
leeters OF revenue in the country. The

ing day and night, and the chances are
that every collection district will be we'll
supplied with the new stamps by July l.
The new revenue bill provides that re-
bate of per cent. shall be allowed to per-
sons purchasing stamps to She value of
500 or more, and this may induce banks or
local dealers to keep stamps as an article
of sale. The national banks have been
asked to supply the public with necessary
stamps until adequate facilities Of distrl-
button can be established. The stamp taxes
will be very vexatious at the best, and
means of supplying the necessary stamps
cannot be too numerous or convenient.
Attorney-General Griggs holds that an
unstamped paper is valid as between in
dlviduals. The new law is, therefore, one
of penalties. Tie penalty of $3.50 cannot
well be evaded, and the government will no
doubt closely enforce it after a supply Of
stamps can be readily procured 1t is al
ways best to respect and obey the law.
Common patriotism calls for the payment of
war taxes and every one who expects TO
draw check to sign a legal paper, or
who deals in patent medicines, should seek
the internal revenue collector or one of his
deputies or agents. Birmingham will doubt
less have stamps enough by July l, but
some of the back districts may be COM
PEELED to use postage stamps to tide over
temporary deficiency 1t is not prudent
to think that the penalties of the law will
be considered imperative on account of
such deficiencies. If postage stamps be
used no doubt the courts would be lenient
because it would in such case be plain that
the parties did not intend to defraud the
government.

When look from out my window

Spite of hoeing and of raklng,
Grows so rank and lush and high,
While my lawn is bleak and barren

Scarce blade of grass is growing
To reward my watchful care.
And the pecks of "Best mixed lawn seed

That I'll try different way; L

And I'll water 1t each day;
But I'll strew the lawn with gravel
On a four-inch bed of clay.

With all It's might and main.
