COALING WARSHIPS AT SEA
How the Spaniards Planned to Do It in
the West Indies


We have received a curious story of the
means the Spanish government is taking
to coal Its warships. and the account comes
to us in such detail that, pending the result
Of inquiries, we give it. though with all re-
serve. 1t is briefly this: A vessel flying
the Norwegian flag and sailing with Nor
wegian papers has been fitted up in London
| as coal hulk on a most elaborate scale
New engines and steam winches have been
put into her. She has been fitted from one
end to the other with electric light, and
has been, in fact, altered from stem to
stern. to receive and discharge coal in
large Quantities. Some days ago she was
cleared by the Norwegian consul in Lon
don, and proceeded to Cardiff, where she
will take In $500 tons of coal. She will then
be cleared, our information goes, for
neutral port, and will proceed in tow of a
tug to Cape Verde to act as a receiving hulk
to which Spanish war vessels would go for
coal. She will lie up in bay off the Afri-
can mainland, where her presence will be
unnoticed, and she will be refiled from
time to time by fast steamers coming from
various continental ports. This is the story
as 1t reaches us, and we give it for what it
Is worth. We have the name of the ship
and master. which we think it right to
reserve.
We would point out that a floating coal
Ing station would not be of any use to
Spanish fleet operating in Cuban waters
1t must be remembered also that the Span
iards have coaling station a the Canaries
and, In the event of the return of the fleet
to Europe, floating station at Cape Verde
would therefore be of little advantage.
Were the hulk to go to the Western At
lantic 1t might then be Of some use to the
Spaniards Moreover, the purchase of any
large and fast steamer would only be from
one of the more important shipping COM
panies. and such a sale is not likely to be
erected without its being generally known
IN shipping circles. The ultimate destina-
ton OF such vessel would be carefully
watched for by both the embassies con-
cerned and the government.-London

sentiment that she would have passion
for Ulick Dean, which she did. "She re-
membered as phrase she had learned in
the theater, AS 1 always say. If one man
aren't enough for woman, twenty aren't
too many"
Then she becomes acquainted with a
priest, and another change comes over her.
Both men would marry her-Owen If she
would leave the stage; Ulick would take
her, anyway. But she confesses to her re-

and narrow path, and talks to her Of perdi-

Eat You-All's House is rightly described
as a nature story. 1t is tale of human ma

written by one who has studied them all,

artihcialty to naturalness, to leave the
brick houses and paved streets of the city

country. Another may have pictured more
correctly the tale Of the true love of a
country lad and lassie, but the reviewer
has not seen the evidence; and Mr.. Bas-

TRUSTS OR MONOPOLIES.
McKisson Says Hanna Brought Together the
 Influence of Capitalistic Greed.

!. Columbus. O., Jan. 12.--At the headquar- ters of the opposition tonight Mayor Robert E. McKisson, of Cleveland, the defeated candidate for senator, made the following statement for the Associated Press:
 Tn the senatorial contest just closed, the question at issue has been whether the true principles of the republican party should prevail or whether the trusts and rnonouolies should have their way. MT Hanna succeeded simply because he brought to his aid all the power of the influences of capitalistic greed, of which he is a clear representative. By reason of the interests for which MT. Hanna stood, the republican members of the general assem- ply who refused to enter the caucus felt that they could not support him for the high office of United States senator, and unanimously selected me to stand as their : candidate. The democrats, being in the minority, realized that it was impossible for them to elect any candidate of their own party. They were, therefore, ready to support any republican who would be willing to represent the common citizens of our commonwealth in preference to self ish monopolies or class interests.
 ''The contest, now ended not be- tween parties in any sense, but between republicans, one representing plutocracy and the other the common people. MT. Hanna has introduced into republican poli- tics a policy of corrupt and lavish use of money heretofore unknown to our party, and which has reached an alarming crisis within the last few days. This policy is a serious menace to the success and perpetu- ity of the party, and if continued cannot help but threaten its very existence.

HANNA SCORES THE PRESS.
Says the Statement That He Is an Autocrat Is Lie.

Columbus, O., Jan 12.-The Columbus Glee club headed large delegation of cit izens that called on Senator Hanna to- night. MT. Hanna responded in part as follows:
 "Since have been here, scarcely two weeks, I have met thousands of men of all parties, and I have met the warmest con gratulations from men of business and men of affairs who have not been interested in the political situation, which accept a tribute to my own business career in this claims in that capacity, believe I have contributed my share, not only to the in- dustries but to the laboring men in my state.
 Although I have been pictured by my adversaries in the press of this state an autocrat and plutocrat, I stand before my fellow citizens in Ohio and tell them face to face that it is a lie My whole life has proved that it is a lie, and my future life will prove that it is lie.'
 Senator Hanna's right hand is badly swollen from handshaking and he is al- most exhausted.
 Gov. Bushnell, in an interview tonight, says that all will acquiesce in the action of the legislature, that he had been misquoted and misrepresented, and that he hoped that all would now go well for the party He said he had been asked to be candi- date for senator and had declined, and that he would not have accepted the election under the circumstances.

 Officers Elected.
 MT. Thornton then rose and nominated for president of the state association Hon. I. F. Culver who was unanimously elected. The others elected were as follows: Vice president, George I. Matz, of Huntsville; i; Secretary, J. c. Adams, of Ozark, a clerk in Major Culver's office; treasurer, w. F. Claughton, of Chiffon, watchman at the capitol.
 Major Culver addressed the meeting in a practical speech, expressing his ideas to the intentions of the asociation.. Mr., M. B. Houghton, of Montgomery. capitalist and extensive farmer, offered a set of resolu- tions declaring it to be the sense of the association that the farmers of Alabama should raise their supplies at home, reduce the cotton acreage of the state and demand cheaper freights and warehouse charges.
 Turbulent Burns. 4.... Col. Burns then came to the; surface again with an amendment to the effect that the association also demands cheaper money. Echelberger moved to table the amendment which mot,on prevailed unani- nlously Colonel Burns then secured the floor and argued that better prices for farm products were what the farmers desired above all else. He said he had intended to put the delegates on record and had done so-that some of them would regret their action next August when they asked the down-trodden farmers for their votes. MT. Houghton, Is a gold man, attacked MT. Burns argument, and Mr.. John defended the position taken by the gentleman from Dallas. Others followed on each side.
 He Poured the oil.
 Finally Maj. Culver arose to pour water on the troubled waters by stating that he was free silver man, but opposed bring ing the money question into the delbera- tions of the convention. A considerable discussion followed, every man who spoke declaring himself in favor of free silver. Finally somebody moved to reconsider the vote by which Burns "cheap, money amendment was lost, and the motion pre- vailed unanimously.
 About this time Mir Houghton disan- peared from the room, and his resolutions disappeared with him. There being no res- olutions, therefore, no amendment to them could be considered, and the discussion ended. The president of the association was instructed to dis.Gibue among the farm CTS of the state 1000 copies of the consti- tuition and bylaws and to proceed to or ganize in the several counties of the state branch associations of the state society
 Hunting Trouble.
 Of course, he does not confess it, but Burns came here to give the farmers as- sociation a black eye. His constituents con- sider he said that Maj. Culvers motive in organizing the association is to advance his own political interests and secure a renom- ination. They insist that no suggestion of farmers association was ever made until formidable opposition to the commissioners renomination developed Maj. Culver's freinds repudiate any such idea, and insist that the society will grow and prosper in spite of all efforts to injure it.
