new warships provided for will lie cf the
finest pattern. 1t will be two years,
doubtless, before they can he placed in
commission.
One VIII BE Named the Maine.
One of them, the committee decided,
should bear the name of the Inflated
Maine. The appropriation for their con-
struction was not fixed, being referred to
the subcommittee on appropriations, which
will report to the full committee to-mor-
row. The cost. 1t is expected, VIII be
about IS, 000 900 each, though for the fiscal
year covered in the bill the amount of eX
pendture may not exceed 81 000, 5000 each.
An important question was raised as TO
whether the expenditures for the new
ships should be betrayed out of the $780,
OOO, 900 emergency bill, but this subject was
passed over.
The committee also agreed on a provis-
ion authorizing the secretary of the navy
to purchase armor plate, by contract or
otherwise, at a cost of not exceeding S400
per ton. This was agreed to, however,
only on the express proviso that this item
include the nickel used in the armor for
which a large outside percentage hereto
fore has been paid by the government.
This limit of armor contract price has
been generally expected and, with the ex-
ception of the insertion of the proviso
as to nickel, met with little opposition in
the discussion.
Increase Number of Marines.
One of the most important features of
the work on the bill was an agreement on
an appropriation of 900 for Quitting,
rationng and unforming 473 additional
marines. This increase in the naval force
was made the subject of a special and ur-
gent request sent to the house after the
submission of the regular recommended
tions. The question of establishment OF
new dry docks went over for action to-
morrow. IT was thoroughly discussed to-
day. and the outlook is that four new dry
docks would be authorized, two on the
Atlantic coast. one on the Pacific coast
and another on the gulf II the present
expectations are materialized tomorrow
these docks will be authorized to be con-
structed at Boston. Mass. Algiers. New
Orleans. Mare island, Cal, and League
island. Philadelphia.
Carries an Enormous Total.
With the amounts to be paid for dry
docks and for armor plate in the aggre-
gate not yet determined that bill as K
stands carries in all something like $780,
100000. which, however. will be largely
augmented by the other items. Rapid
progress has been made with the bill,
and 1t is likely 1t will be in shape to re-
port TO the house Monday or Tuesday.

Secretary Long has determined that
there shall be no wasteful extravaganza

Canada, and speaking of a garden that
he saw in the Edmonton District, says:
On August 23rd we had the pleasure
OF visiting the model seven-acre gar
den at Edmonton, owned and operated
by one Donald Ross, typical Scotch
man, and as whole-souled, good-na-
tured old gentlemen as you often
meet He gave the Yankees each a
hearty handshake as we were intro
duced in succession by the Canadian
Government Agent, who was our guide
and pilot while at Edmonton, and to
whom we are indebted for many cour-
tesies conferred. Mr.. Ross informed
us that he cleared from $500 to $1,000
annually from the sale Of roots, vege-
tables, flowers and plants. We here
state that we never before saw such a
growth of vegetables at that season OF
the year. He said that he raised $50
bushels of onions to the acre. Beets
were growing as large as your arm,
turnips the size OF ones head, and
cabbages as large as patent pail. Fol-
lowing are prices that Mr.. Ross gave
us as receiving for his produce: Beets,
30 cents per bushel; carrots, 40 cents;
onions, SIPS; turnips, SIS per ton; cab
bage cents EACH green corn, 20
cents per dozen tomatoes, $3.50 per
bushel; potatoes, rs to 80 cents; cauli-
flower, 81 per dozen; cucumbers, ID
cents per dozen; strawberries, % cents
per box; squash, cents per h., and
other produce in proportion. He kept
a dollhouse 12x1SO feet, heated by a
furnace by means of 1ues. One man
beside himself attended this garden,
except at time of gathering the crop.
Agents of the Canadian Government
are now located at different points in
the United States, and using their eff
forts towards securing settlers on the
fertile lands of Western Canada, to,
which the gold fields are tributary.

Big Item for Carnegie.

Lieutenant Stone, representative of the
| Carnegie Steel Company, was at the navy
department in conference with the Off
| Gals respecting the naval work in prog
| ress.
The torpedo hotilla at Key West will
soon be re-enforced by two fine boats,
which have been under repairs. The
Winslow sailed this morning from
Charleston for Key West and the Foote
from Norfolk for the same.
The commandant of the Mare island
navy yard reported that the cruiser Mo-
hican had sailed with her cargo of am
munition, which she will tranship at Hon
oluu TO the Baltimore for the Asatic
squadron. The naval officers who are en-
deavoring to effect the purchase of ships
abroad have encountered an obstacle that
promises to give some trouble. This is
found in the difference between the cali
bers of the guns mounted on foreign built
ships and the United States navy stand
ards. Not only do these guns differ in cali
Der from our own in most cases. but as
they are almost all designed for the use of
smokeless powder their combustion cham
bers are too small to use the ordinary
brown powder with which the American
navy is still supplied.
Must Buy Powder Abroad.
This obstacle is serious, but not insur-
mountable. 1t will require the procure
ment in Europe of large quantity of am
muntion in special sizes for these ships,
as it would require good deal of time
for our domestic ammunition makers to
change their plants and make the special
sizes. Commander William II. Emery has
volunteered to command the auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis in the event of that ves-
sells impressment into the naval service
and he will be ordered to join her be-
fore her departure from New York next
Wednesday. in a capacity similar to that
which caused Commander Brownson o
sail on the st. Paul. Commander Emery
has selected as his immediate staff Lieu

Ger. at present recorder of the board of

The navy department has now reason to
believe that it has secured the two war
ships Amazonas and her sister ship now
building in England for Brazil. 1t vas
stated at the cabinet meeting by Secre-
tary Long that the naval attache at Lon
don, Lieutenant Colwell, had almost COM
pleted the negotiations for the purchase.
So far. however, the final notification from
him that his offer has been accepted has
not yet reached the navy department.
Authorizes Three New Ships.
Three new battleships of the stauchest
type afloat were authorized by the house
committee on naval affairs Saturday and
a provision for their construction was in
serted in the naval appropriation bill. At
the same time, the committee agreed on
a maximum price of $500 per ton for ar

force of naval marines by 473 men and put
matters in fair shape for a decision to-

sells. The committee was in session prac-
tically all day and before the decision on
the increase of ships was reached there
was long and interesting discussion.
Representative Tate, while favoring an
increase, believed two vessels would be
ample, and that further expenditure be-
yond the point or necessity should be
avoided. Representative Loudensl1ger of
New Jersey protested that if the strength
of the navy was to be increased at all
it should be to the extent of three new
vessels, built and armed TO NICE. any YES

OVERWOhkED BRAIN.
From the Record, PiercetOn, Ind.

Determined to rise in his chosen profess
sion as an educator, Ernest Kemper, of
Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed himself mentally
and physically. He was ambitious, his
mind was always on his work From early
morn until late at night he continually
poured over his books.
Burned the candle ut both ends"
Few persons, even with the strongest con.
stitution, can keep up under such strain.
In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
was teaching school some three miles from
his home. Finally, his excessive study and
the exposure of going to and from school in
all kinds of weather undermined his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneumonia
and his overworked brain almost collapsed.
For several weeks he was seriously ill.
Catarrh had taken root in his system and
his mind was in a delicate condition. He.
