WARNING TO NAvIGAToRs.-On &C
count of necessary operations for the
defense of the Potomac river and the
city of Washington floating torpedoes
have been placed in the channel. These
torpedoes are dangerous to any vessels
travelling at high speed, and especially
so to steamers. The engineer corps
warn all vessels to proceed very slow y,
and say propeller wheels should not be
turned between the River View wharf
and the government wharf at Sheridan
Point. A narrow channel is being
buoyed in the usual manner for the
guidance of vessels travelling by day
light. Vessels should not undertake
to pass at night through that part of
the river between River View wharf
snd the government wharf at Sheridan
Point.

weeks ago issuedAan order allowing but
two passes issued from II company at

has affected the line officers rs well. In

p%orations that could possibly have been
picked out. On any question affecting
railroads they and Mr.. kittredge, the

their nomination largely to him. Their
influence and power in office will be used

Argus Leader, 30: II the adminlstra.
ton is supported by u republican con.
gress the last hope of Spain is gone.
1t is, eh: How many last hopes is
Spain going to have with this admins
tration? 1t was thought by this country
when the senate last April forced Presi-
dent Mckinley into taking up arms in
defense OF suffering humanity that the
last hope OF Spain vas gone then. 1t
was thought over again when Dewey
sunk the Spanish fleet at Manila that
the last hope OF Spain was gone, but it
seems not by this western exponent of
the administration. But it was GER
tainly thought that the last hope Of
Spain wss gone when Santiago fell and
the protocol was signed according to
American dictation. The American
people thought there was not much left
to do and that even such q president as
Mckinley could carry out the details of
settlement. But according to the Argus
Leader he appears to have lost his grip
and that SPAN has been given q new
hope. Well, il that is the case a repub-
lican congress Is not what we want to
send back to Washington. We want to
send up there a congress OF the people
such as the senate was at the beginning
Of the war, a congress that will tell the
administration to 20 and possess the
land, vote him money on the jump and
not another ray OF hope to Spain
from dallying political intrigue nor any
thing else that betokens a weak spinal

nome. The administration and every
republican congressman are simply try.

National politics hinges this year on
the election of congressman. Republi-
cans do not uncover the real issues be-
fore the people but hope to get a MAORI
ty Of congress or the plea OF protection
to Mckinley from the Spanlards. Re-
public ms know that the American peo-
pie will protect Mr.. Mckinley at all haz-
ards, but they hope under this plea to
get a congress that will aid him to es-
tablisb a foreign policy Of aggression that
would not be endorsed by the American
people if they were allowed to know and
discuss it before the present election.
By the time of the next national election
it will be riveted upon the nation beyond
recall. Then there is the misconduct Of
the war TO conceal. A. congress Of the OPP
posite political faith to the %administra.
ton might make some mighty interest
ing revelations ia connection with polit-
ical appointments to military positions.
Then there are big bond schemes in COD
nection with Cuban adjustment. And
then there are big financial or currency
schemes in our own national affairs.
The gold standard is to be- i%rrevocably
riveted upon us and our national cur
rency thrown entirely into the control
