NEED OF NEW NAVAL DOCKS.
Speaking OF the necessity for Fastening
the construction OF docks appropriated Tor
during the last session OF Congress. Com
modore Hichborn says: THE naval con-
structor at Norfolk reports that the tim

Church street for 300 feet down First ave-
nue., parellel to the tracks of the Electric
company and there crossed. This right of
way had to be purchased through the pri-
vate property adjoining. The line is now be-
ing extended to Gate City.
The Electric company now say that all
the track of the Traction company on First
avenue is on their right of way and on this
ground has that company enjoined from u.s.
ing the track. The Traction company re-
plies that the right of way of the Electric
company is only 100 feet wide, or rather the
space embraced between the trolley poles.
They claim that their new track is outside
of this 10O-foot strip and except where the
actual crossing is made that it does not
touch the right Of way of the Electric COM
pany. They add further that it is impos-
sible for one track to cross another track
without touching its right of way.
AS stated above. the Traction Company
will wait and endeavor to run their track
down Church street, If they can get the in
junction removed. Meanwhile the Electric
company is doing the laughing.

available strength of the national guard at
this time, after deducting those who are
sick and otherwise incapacitated for i'm
mediate service. The total strength of the
guard as reported to the war department
is 49, 64 men.
Secretary Alger made several additional
allotments from the emergency funds for
the war department. One million dollars
was given for the quartermaster depart
mentsfi chiefly to meet extraordinary ex-
penses in the transportation of troops and
munitions of war; $4,000 for balloons and
$50 900 for perfecting the army Geographic
service. General Greedy, the chief signal
officer, is a staunch advocate of the use
of balloons at the various ports of the
country and in regular deld service.
Applications are pouring into the war
and navy departments for the immediate
protection of supposedly exposed points on
the Atlantic and gulf seaboard. The Of
ficials say it is manifestly impossible 10
comply with these requests. They say that
there would be no inducement for Span
ish naval force to attack unfortified small
coast towns and such fears are largely
groundless.
Besides rules of civilized warfare require
that no unfortifed town shall be bombarded
without at least twenty-four hours notice,
in order to allow non-combatants TO retire
to places of safety
Real Admiral Scard was today assigned
a desk in the office Of the secretary of the
navy to act as his official adviser. Nearly
all naval officers on detached or shore duty
have put in applications to be restored to
sea duty.
There seems to be a public misconception
as to the duties Of the mosquito fleet.
The mosquito fleet Is not designed to
shore guard nor yet for attack, but as ex-
planned by one Of the naval strategists, the
primary use of the vessels of this feet will
be to protect the battleships and other iron
clads from attacks by torpedo boats and
destroyers. The purpose Is to create in the
navy something like the same system that
prevails In the army In conducting hostile
operations The battleships correspond to
the heavy artillery the mosquito fleet to
infantry, and the torpedo fleets to cavalry.
The naval ordnance bureau is unable to
supply the enormous demand now made UPS
on it for guns of medium calibre.

night that as the democrats had voted
tine and again n support of their position,
so they voted to sustain it by opposing the
conference report which struck out the pro-
vision for recognition of independence. Mr.
Bacon contended that as only matters OF
difference go into conference the vote in the
senate in the conference committee report
was only on the Turpie amendment for the
recognition of insurgents and that con-
sequently those who had voted against the
conference report had only again recorded
themselves in favor of the Turpie amend
ment.
Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. sSpooner fell into a
technical discussion as to what was i'm
pied in a vote for a conference report, in
which many senators participated.
Mr.. Bacon declared that the resolutions
would have become a law If the Turpie
amendment had prevailed.
All this had been in the way of interrupt
tion during Mr.. Cockrell's speech. He re-
sumed at this point his discussion of the
presidents policy which he contended from
the PRESIDENTS own language meant inter-
vention in the shape of hostile constraint'
upon both parties to the Cuban war, upon
the Cubans as much as upon the Spanish.
He contended that this policy only looked
to pacifcation of the island of Cuba, not
to the expulsion of the Spaniards or the
establishment of a republic In Cuba.
Without concluding his speech Mr.. Cock
rell yielded for an executive session at
$40 p. m. ~
AT 405 p. m. the senate adjourned.

Electric company and the Birmingham
Traction company, took place yesterday af-
ternoon, and the flag of the Electric COM
pany now floats on high as the victor.
The story was told in yesterdays Age
Herald how in the dead hours of last Sum-
day night the Traction company, aided by
the citizens of Woodlawn, laid their track
across those of the Electric company above
the point where they were restrained from
crossing by an injunction of that company.
Ever since that event happened General
Manager Williams of the Traction company
has been wearing a broad smile; that is he
was wearing It up until I o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when an Injunction was
served on him by the Electric company,
prohibiting his company from running an
engine or trains on the newly constructed
track. General Manager McClary, of the
Electric company, is doing the smiling now.
The injunction was obtained from Judge w.
w. Wilkerson Of the city court of Birming-
ham. The exact wording Of the Injunction
prohibits the Traction company from using

tion and drill under arms was had for
hearty two hours.
In the business session w. W. Mutt was
elected secretary to succeed Corporal e. #.
Garden, who resigned that office. -
The following resolution was offered by
Captain Hart, who made an earnest and
eloquent appeal for its unanimous adoption,
as did also Lieutenant Lacy, Sergeant
Jones, Sergeant Carroll. Sergeant Gibson
and others:
Resolved by the Huey Guards, Company
L, Third Infantry, A. N. G., in regular
meeting assembled, That, emulating the
spirit and example Of our gallant organizer,
the lamented Captain r. w. Huey, we
hereby tender our services, as a company,
to the governor of Alabama for active SER
vice on the field to the end of the war in
case of hostilities with Spain or any other
nation"
After full discussion the resolution was
adopted by an enthusiastic vote in which
So per cent. of the members present gave
in their names for service with the COM
pany.
Lieutenant Lacy was instructed to off,
cially notify the governor of this action
through Colonel e. l.. Higdon, commanding
the regiment
A committee of five was also appointed
TO obtain names of volunteers who would
enlist with the company in the event of
war, and 1t may be safely predicted that
the gallant guards will add new laurels to
its brilliant record of the past should call
for volunteer companies be made.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, April 19-The house pre-
scented most desolate appearance when it
convened at noon, after the nearly all night
session. While the journal was being read
Mr.. Hager (rep. Ia.) chairman of the COM
mittee on enrolled bills, brought in the
Cuban resolutions which had been enrolled
under his personal direction. The speaker
Immediately signed them, and as soon as
the reading of the journal was concluded at
12:15 p. m. he announced his signature.
There was no demonstration. The en-
rolling clerk at his side seized the resolu-
lions and hurried with them across tn
capitol.
Mr.. Grosvenor then, as question of per-
sonal privilege, had read at the clerk 5
desk an editorial in a New York paper
commenting upon his statement In the
house on April that this war "would
fought under the banner of the republican
administration of this government or il
would not be fought at ALL"
Mr.. Grosvenor Explains
Mr.. Grosvenor explained the circum-
stances under which the statement was
made. He had been delighted with the
record the democratic party had made, and
in the statement he had only meant that
the war which was upon us must be fought
during its life or not at all. He had meant
no reflection and had appealed to both
sides of the house to stand by the execu-
tive, who had been assaulted.
"In this connection" concluded Mr. Gros-
venor, 81 desire to say l believe this war
will be energetfcally waged both in mill
tary sense and in the legislation necessary
to carry it on, and believe the RESPONSE
to the call to arms will be unanimous. There
will be no political division. 1t will come
from democrats and popuists as well as
from republicans, and especially do / be-
lieve the response to patriotism will come
from every southern state and the whole
union will share the triumphant echo of
loyalty" Great applause)
Mr.. Dingley stated that in view of the
fact that the house had been sitting all
night and that the members were weary he
would move to adjourn.
Accordingly, at 1882 p M, the adjourned.
