PUSHING DRAYToN's PAYING.
Work Will BE Carried Rapidly to
Completion.

The Southern Asphalt Paving Company
is hard at work on Drayton street. The
curbing has been distributed along the
street, and a force of men is at work
moving catch basins back to the new curb
line. Several new catch basins are being
built. Connecting the catch basins with
the sewers involves considerable work.
At Gwinnett and Drayton streets it was
found necessary to run a line of pipe to
Abercorn street, to connect with the sewer
there. a section of the new curbing was
laid yesterday, on the block between Bay
and Bryan streets. The companys asphalt
plant has arrived, and will be erected on
the east bank of the Oseechee canal.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 4. 1898.
Unless the Spanish do some
thing to precipitate matters there
is little probability of any ma
terial change in the situation
during the next ten days. The
report Of the naval court of in
quiry is not expected earlier than
the 18th Of the mouth, and there
is no certainty that it will be re-
ceived as early. AS an indica-
cation of the correctness of these
statements it may be mentioned
that party consisting of Sena-
tors Thurston, Gallinger and
Money, and Represen a tive S
Amos ]. Cummings and William
Alden Smith left Washington
this week for Havana, on board
of a private yacht. They would
not have left Washington had
they supposed that the Maine
matter would be brought up dur
ing their absence. Senator
Thurston said of the trip: 1T is
not in any sense an official tour,
but it will naturally give us a
better opportunity for investiga-
ton than we can possibly have
from this distance.
Things are as quiet in Wash
ington as if there were not the
slightest danger of war, and
about the only significant hap
penings of the week in admin
istrat1on circles was the express
sion of the opinion by Secretary
Long that the element Of official
Spanish participation in the ex-
plosion of the Maine has been
practically eliminated by the
official Spanish statement that
there never had been any mines
| in Havana harbor---an opinion
which has been very harsh1y
criticised in private by senators
and representative SEA- n d the
making OF contract by the war
department for 1000, 900 worth
of projcctiles for the new high
power guns of our coast defenses,
in advance of an appropriation
by congress. This extraordinary
contract was made upon the as
surance Of senators and repre-.
sentatives that the appropriation
| would be made as soon as tller,
| appeared to be any pressing ne
cessity for it, and the contractor
4 agreed to stop the work at an,
4 time and only to charge proper
\ tionately for what was done.
| It is we'll that the dispositio,
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1898-03-10

there are only nine of these guns
in use i'll this country. Three
are at Sandy Hook, three at Fort
Scott, which guards the harbor
of San Francisco, and three on
the cruiser Vesuvius. No cruiser
OF battleship could ever get near
enough to New York City to do
any damage once the guns in
Sandy Hook were put in action.
t. S. Darling, president of the
company which controls these
guns, who has just returned from
Washington, where he was ar
ranging for a number OF addition
al guns, said: "When these guns
were invented, about fifteen years
ago, dynamite was used in them,
but now nitro-gelatine, the high
est explosive known is utilized.
No war-ship that was ever built
could stand the explosion of 100
pounds of it. That is enough to
demolish her completely, leaving
nothing but mass of twisted
iron and splinters.
"Complete, the guns cost $780,
900 each. They are SO feetlong,
and of 15-inch caliber, and they
throw projectiles carrying from
so to 500 pounds of nitro-gela-
tine. Nothing but air is utilized
in firing them, and they are oper-
ated omatically by electricity.
The distance which a shell can
be thrown varies. Thus, with a
pressure of 1000 pounds, a So
pound shell can be thrown four
miles; a 100-pound shell, two and
a quarter miles; and a 500-pound
shell more than one and quarter
miles. Their accuracy is almost
unerring. The board of ordnance
and fortification said, when these
guns were accepted about two
years ago, that there was nc
known methods Of more safely
and accurately throwing large
charges of high explosives long
distances than that employed il
training and firing. these guns
Each gun IS made of steel through
out, and, though the mechanism
is somewhat complicated, it re
Iquires only one man to handle it
although it takes four men II
load it. This is owing to tn,
great weight of the projectiles
The total weight of a 50o-2oune
shell, for instance, is 1855 pounds
The steel casing weighing 6s
pounds" The three guns a
/ Sandy Hook could throw ten ton
of nitro-gelatine in twenty min
J utes.

ations, regardless of their nature,
If it can be done without taking
a record vote, should occasionally |
be rebuked. The only possible
reason why employees of the
house, who are all we'll paid for
the work they do, should receive
a present of an extra months pay
at the close of the session, is that
they are all either relatives or
personal friends of members; but
that did not prevent a majority
of the house from voting when
the house was sitting as a COM
mittee of the whole, to put an
amendment Oh the sundry civil
bill appropriating the money to
give all the employees of the house
an extra months salary. The
lcowardice of many of the MEM
bers was shown when Represent
ative Cannon, who opposed the
amendment, later demanded an
aye aud nay vote upon it. When
they knew that their individual
votes would 90 on record for the
inspection of their constituents,
only % members had the courage
to vote for the amendment, while
152 voted for it.
If the Maine question was out
of the way, but it isn't, and isn't
likely to be for some time to
come, suggestion that has been
made to President Mckinley by
Representative Beach, of Ohio,
for the settlement of the Cuban
question, would doubtless receive
more attention than is now given
to it. Mr.. Beach proposes that
the q. S. and all the other gov
ernments Of America JOIN in
demanding that Cuba be placed
in the hands of receiver, who
shall have full authority to adj
minister all of it's affairs. There
are precedents: For instance,
the powers placed Prince George
icf Denmark on the throne Of
Greece to save that country from
utter destruction; similar action
was taken in Crete; the Turkish
provinces of Bosnia and Herxe-
govina were turned over to
Austria for administration and
military occupation, when there
was danger of the population,
which was III rebellion against
Turkey, being externlinated, and
the interference of Great Britain
in Egypt, which it has practically
governed ever since, to protect
British commercial int er IS is
there. Mr.. Beach says that
President D1az Of Mexico would
be just the man to be made re-
celyer of Cuba, being of Spanish
descent and thoroughly familiar
with Spanish character, and hav-
ing shown an administrative
ability that is without precedent
in Spanish American countries.
| The undesirable nature of the
population of Cuba has always
been and is now bar to its acqui-
sition by the United States.
| Officials are not talking about
the matter for publication, but
since Secretary Alger announced
the abandonment of the Klondike
relief expedition authorized by
Icongress and asked for authority
to sell the supplies which had
been bought, including the rein
deer, it has become known that
the secretary regards himself and
congress as having been victim

Vermont regiment be allowed to
change its camp from Chickamauga to
Vermont, where it can have healthy
camp conditions. 1t can await orders
here as well as at any other place and
reach tide water from any point in the

Grout to Secretary Alger.

Kmley? 1t was only the other day
that he assured the Herald and the

1t is now evident that the Vermont
regiment will never be favored with
a sight of Spaniard in arms but, in
stead, unless discharged, will be
forced to do garrison duty either in
Cuba or Porto Rico. This notwith.
standing it enjoyed the reputation Of
being one of the finest body of men
volunteering. This can only be &C
counted for through incompetent
management beginning with Govern
or Grout and ending with that prince
of war imbeciles, Sec. Alger.
Vermonters will do their duty in
whatever position they are placed and
will have little respect for the Grouts
and Woodburys who, at this late day,
are nightly interested in doing some
thing for "the boys" if only to get
them home.
There isn't "boy" in the regi-
ment that wants to cry baby. They
enlisted in the service of the country
and are willing to face the enemy, in
deadly cobalt, perform garrison routine
or any other duty required of them
and the stay at home old grannies
who talk with their mouth, without
regard to brains, will do we'll to keep
still.

Promotion for Dewey.

A Washington dispatch to the N
Y. Herald says:
"There is strong feeling in Wash
ington that Rear Admiral Dewey
should receive greater reward than
has been accorded him, and there is
strong probability that the presi-
dent in his message to Congress will
urge the revival of the grade of vice
admiral, and that Rear Admiral Dew
ey will be appointed to the office when
it is authorized by law.
"For his victory at Manila bay
Dewey was advanced only two mum.
bers, while Rear Admiral Sampson
has been advanced eight numbers and
Rear Admiral Schley six for the fight
off Santiago. If the grade of vice
admiral had existed eight numbers
would have advanced Rear Admiral
Dewey TO that rank.
"Naval officers generally hope that
not only will the grade of vice admi-
raj be revived, but that Congress will
create the grade of admiral. If this
is done Rear Admiral Dewey would
naturally be appointed to fill it, not
only because of the part he played in
the battle Of Manila bay, but be
cause of his treatment of vexing
questions which have arisen since his
victory.
"What officer would be designated
to fill the grade of vice admiral if the
higher rank were revived cannot be
authoritatively stated, but the admin.
istration would undoubtedly select
Rear Admiral Sampson, while the
friends Of Rear Admiral Schley would
urge his appointment. In any event,
as soon as Congress convenes there
will be bitter controversy in the
Senate and House between the
friends of the two officers as to which
is entitled to the credit for the veto.
ny off Santiago.
"Now that advancement for heroic
and meritorious service has been given
to the high ranking officers of the
fleets under the command of Rear
Admirals Dewey and Sampson, the
navy department proposes to take
steps for the recognition of the gal
liant conduct Of junior officers.
''In the majority of cases the ac-
ton to be taken will depend upon the
recommendation of board which will
be convened by Secretary Long i'm
mediately after the war to investigate
claims of officers to reward for gall
lantry displayed in the face of the
enemy"

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. e. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may indnce
others to avail themselves OF your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health vas very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
hut it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. / sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
Tile DOUUlc ltlU 81 LluSll pSbpNl bIao L
send for two more. After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
g / think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.
