London, July 22.-The eagerly
expected statement Of the fret lord
OF the admiralty, George ]. Goschen.
on the supplementary naval pro
gram, was made TO day in the house
Of commons He revived the original
program which was considered suf-
ficient, when it was framed, being
based upon the two power system,
that the navy of Great Britain must
be equal to the combined fleets Of
any two powers. But, in conse
queuce OF the action of Russia, on
the same system, the government
was compelled to present a supple
mentary program, paralelling the
Russian increase of six battleships
which Russia proposed to begin in
1898 Only two bsttleships were
taken in account in the original
British program and the first lord
Of the admiralty announced that he
now asked the house to grant four
more battleships. (Cheers)
Continuing, Mr.. Goschsn said:
"The Russian program provides for
four cruisers We propose to build
four (cheers), and also twelve de
stroyers. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the new pogam will be f8,-
100000 ($4O,0OO,00O), making the
entire for the new ships $4,000,

IngersOli's Tribute TO Woman's Love.
Robert G. Ingersoll pays the fol-
lowing tribute to woman's love:
The one thing in this world that
is constant, the one peak that rises
above the clouds, the one window in
which light forever burnF, the one
star that darkness cannot quench, is
woman's love 1t rises TO the great
est heigh ts. it sinks to the lowest
depths, it forgives the most cruel in
juries. It is the perennial of life,
and grows in every climate; neither
GOODNESS nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish it. A womans
love is the perfume Of the heart.
This is the real loye that subdues
the earth; the love that has wrought
all miracles IN art, that gives Us
music ali the way from the cradle to
the grand symphony that bears the
soul away on the wings Of fire A
love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death

All Spanish Warships TO be Gone After.
Washington. July "a DESTROYS Of
extending the blockade along North
ern Cuba, the Navy Department,
has been detaching ships from the
auxiliary force and ordering them
South. The latest of these is Kama
wha, which has been placed under
the command of Lieutenant Fletcher
and Is now at Santiago The Frolic
will also be attached to the blockad-
ing squadron.
Rear Admiral Sampson is acting
under instructions to capture or de-
destroy all Spanish men-of-war, and
the light draught vessels will be
sent into the harbors to fnd the en-
emy's ships.
This was recently effecually done
at Mapzanillo and at Nipe, but is, Of
course, impossible at Havana, where
srmor clad vessels are necessary TO
answer the fire OF the heavy land
guns.
At other points on the Cuban
coast, the authorities say that there
are about 80 vessels manned by
Spaniards.
The only really effecitiYe vessels,
however, are FIVE torpedo gunboats
of $40 tons displacement, most of
which are oooped up in the harbor
of Havana.

The Inventor Of the Springfield Rifle.

Few of the union soldiers knew-few
people of to-day know-the name OF the
inventor of the springfield rifle and the
breech-loading cannon. The man. Hiram
II. Harrington, is probably the greatest
inventor of firearms ever known. Nearly
all those in use i'm this and foreign coun-
tries are only improvements on his IDEAS.
Had he been less of a patriot and more
of a money-lover," says the Macon Tele-
graph. Ibis family would be rolling In
wealth.. But he cared little for money
and nothing for fame. The archives at
Washington alone can tell of Mr.. Herring
toms skill as an inventor and mechanic,
and II seems strange that historians have
overlooked a man of such great genius,
and especially one who has done SO much
good for his country"
At IS Harrington entered the united
states armory at Harper's Ferry as an
apprentice. where he invented the first
twist-driIl machine, which attracted wide
attention and was soon in general use.
When a master mechanic and draughts-
man he was ordered by the secretary OF
war to make, from his own plans, the first
breech-loading cannon in this country,
and thus gun-making became revolution
lied. The design and principles OF his
breech-loading brass cannon were the
same as are now employed by the gov
eminent in making large and small can-
non.

Intervention Rumors Unfounded.

London. May 15.-There are no fresh
war developments and the rumors OF
European Intervention to put a stop
( o the conflict between Spain and the
mere attempts to provoke official ut
terances on the situation. Advices
from Madrid indicate that the people
there regard Admiral Cervera as their
champion, hoping much from his as
t~uteness. The newly appointed admi-
raj of the Cadiz fleet Is also regarded
as an able officer. and until both have
had their innings, II is probable that
the Spanish will look with greater len
iency % the present government.
The recent alleged successes of the
Spanish forces have inclined the coun-
try to ignore the question of the cabi
net changes for the present.
