A dispatch 10 the New York Herald
from Kingston says.
The British naval authorities az Port
Royal the naval headquarters here, eX-
press tho opinion that the order for the
mobilization of the British North Amerl-
can ana West Indian squadron forms
part Of a grand, comprehensive scheme
for a naval demonstration on the Pa
cihc and Atlantic intending TO indicate
Great Britain's preparedness 10 face any
and all possible hostile developments.
Great Britain. Il IS added, fully realizes
the menaces Of the future and would
as soon accept war now with France or
Russia. or both and the present deter
mined demonstration means that the is
sue rests with these powers. 10 IS be-
lieved that neither Of them Will accept
this obvious challenge. But should they
do so. Great Britain can never be more
prepared than now. especially In view
Of the possible arrangement OF an Ameri-
can understanding and IN view Of the
fact that the Marquis of Salisbury's
government has the support Of all the
political parties OF Great Britain.

young man. In simple. We do not have
the benefit os the Gulf stream as they
get IL on the coast of Spain and
France? There il a blighting current
that presses in against our shores in
side the vivifying Gulf stream. 1t is
called the Labrador current. II is also
known, I believe, as the Polar current.
and to its frigidity we owe our beastly
pardon the Anglicism-climate. This
narrow current skirts the coast from
Maine almost to the Straits of Florida.
You can 10Y conjecture VIA l am

unaduIterated benefit of the Gulf
stream? Simply by shutting off the
Polar current. I may put 1T more en-
phaticaIly by saying. by damming the
Polar current"
IT seems to me. Colonel" said the
promoter, that is rather a colossal
enterprise"

That's What the Colonel says, and He
Means II.
The colonel dropped into the Office of
the promoter and with the easy famil-
iarity of an old friend languidly un-
bent his tall person in the biggest and
most comfortable chair in the room.
The colonel measures somewhat more
than 6 feet. His joints are well round
ed and his feet are small. He put
them on the edge of a spare desk. as
he had often done before, to give the
promoter a chance to admire their
aristocratic elegance. From the leis-
urely way in which the colonel adjust
ed himself to the chair a superficial OBJ
server might have inferred that there
was no enthusiasm in him.
But the colonel has both enthusiasm
and ideas. He is from Nirginia-he
will tell you a long time from Virginia
lew since a year after the war. The
promoter is also a Virginian, but he
was only a baby when the war ended.
The promoter has a habit of humor-
ing the colonel. n the colonel likes
il. The colonel's old black crayat,
fashioned in the time of Henry Clay;
his frock coat and his out-of-date silk
hat give him the air of a back number,
but he Is not that, the promoter will

room. His eyes sparkled and he showed
signs of g~esticulative oratory. The

miringly at him.

WILL START ON JULY |
Contractors Will Be Ready to
Begin on the Paving.
CONTRACTS ARE READY
None OF Them Have Yet Been Signed.
Unsuccessful Bidders Think tho
Work Went for Too Low
o Figure.

The contracts for the various public
works to be done this summer were
drawn up yesterday by City Engineer
Bickenbaugh and turned over to the
city clerk. None of the contracts have
as yet been signed by the successful
bidders. but will doubtless be signed
within a day o. two. Dugan & Co.
are already arranging for the seasons
work. n expect to start promptly on
July 1. provided they are not delayed by
the contractors for the curbing and the
catch basins, or by delay in making
connections. There were several APP
plications yesterday for the position of
paving inspector. but no appointment
has been made
The opinion among the unsuccessful
contractors is that none of the success
full bidders will get rich this summer.
They think the work was let much
cheaper than could be expected. and
they are confident that some of their
rivals will lose money. The west side
sewer, let to f. q. Dugan & Co... for
&3.424. is spoken of as particularly
cheap. and contractors doubt the ability
of MIR. Dugan to come out anywhere
hear even on this work. Much rocky
ground is likely to be encountered in
digging this sewer. Dugan's bid was
several hundred dollars below the next
highest bid. The east side sewer wal
also let at a very low rate, although 1t
is thought Hartman 4 Jennings may
make a little money on 1t at 81. 100, the
ground being easier than on the west
side. II Is not thought that much
money will be made on the paving. The
catch basin contract is thought to be
the best Ope let Wednesday night-best,
that is. for the contractor. There was
only one bid in for curbing, and that
was from Dugan. 1t &.50. The rate
last year was SO cents, and the con-
| tractors at that price undoubtedly lost
money.
There is one thing which most OF
those who bid on work don take into
consideration" said a ~well-known con
| tractor yesterday. and that is the risk
| they run of accident. These sewer
contracts were figured very close, and
evidently those who figured didn't take
into consideration the risk they run OF
somebody falling into an open sewer
and breaking a leg or receiving Other
injury. In such case a few thousands
might be lost through a suit for dam
ages. In every public work the con
tractors AXE this risk. and most o.
them don't allow any margin for acci
dents of this kind. There are people,
in every community who would seize
chance to get their leg broker II the!
thought the could recover damage
thereby. One suit for damages made I
stick would eat up all the profits OF
all the public work that has been lie

No Getting Around Dewey's Orders.

II was with Commodore Dewey when
he was the executive officer Of the col
orado." said a f~inancier. "and | re-
member one incident which shows the
manner of man he Is. We had "A fine
crew. some Of them as powerful men
as I ever saw. Four or five of them
went ashore n day and came pack
fighting drunk.
Three Of them were men who would
sinRly have been more than a match
in strength for John l.. Sullivan. The
order was given TO put them in irons.
and il was found impossible to carry
out the order. for the men were dan
gerous. Dewey was notified Of the sit
uation. He was writing a letter in his
room at the time.
He went to the place where these
giants were and he told them To come
out and submit to the IRONS. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to
an orderly: Bring me my revolvers.
And when he had the pistols he again
called upon the men to come out. and
they did not move. Then he said: I
am going to u three; il you are
not out here with your hands held az
on the third count you won come o u
of that place alive
He counted me-. then HI cooked ths
r~evoIvers. and he counted two. We al
expected to hear the reports. for w
knew that Dewey meant what he said
The men knew IL. too. They stepped
out Just in time to save their lives AND
held up their hands. and they had beer
partially sobered by their fright and
the moral effect Of Dewey's glance.
One of .hem said afterward tina
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be a dead Jacky
in a moment or he would have to yield
and when the irons We're put upon hin
he was as sober as he ever was i'm hi
life. Dewey went back TO his room
and finished the letter he was writing.
