the corporation created the political boss,

workmen into voting for their own partic-

rupting and ruinons to our politics, use
the millions at their command to buy our
councimen and Legislators? who does
rot know that our present system of con-

their interests? Richard r. Ely says:
No gas works. no water works. no street
car lines are 50 thoroughly in politics as
those of the United States. our terrible
corruption in cities dates from the rise Of
private corporations IN control Of natural

we do away with the chief cause o: cor

they are true. Eliminate from our pol
itics the millions now furnished by these
corporations as bribeS and campaign
funds and YOU tear the whip from the

READY TO MAKE THEM
TREDEGAR COMPANY To BEGIN
WORK on pROJECTnEs.
EOW THE SHELLS ARR MADE.
Two Inches Thick and Left Hollow
for the Caps to De Screwed In
Have No Penetrating Qualities,
Hut Explode with Terrific Eject.

This week the Richmond Tredegar-
Works will, no doubt, commence to cast
the huge projectiles to be used In the
great guns which defend the seacoast of
these United States. The government
last week awarded contract TO the
Tired sgar-Works, from the moulds of
which have already been furnished SINH
lar shells for the use OF the War Depart
ment. This former order was finished
some weeks ago.
The shells are dangerous and formula
BILE looking, indeed. Some OF them weigh
l,5O0 pounds, and when charged at the
arsenals Of the government, are terrible
engines Of destruction. The projectlles
are from three to four feet long, and
taper at one end, almost to a point. The
bore, or hollow, is about eight inches In
diameter, while the iron casing is about
two inches thick. Thus the shells have a
diameter, measuring from the outer sides,
Of twelve inches. They are loaded from
one end, into which fits cap. The latter
is screwed in the projectile, working
around the threads in the inner portion
of the shell. The projectile after being
cast. IS, OF course, in q rough shape. Inc
finishing touches are put on the shell
when it is trimmed in the lathe. Its
outer edges must be perfectly smooth in
order that 1t may exactly fit in the gun
from which 1t is is fired.
The Tredegar-W erks can turn out about
fifteen or eighteen of these shells a week.
They are shipped, according to the in
structions received by the War Depart
ment. to the various arsenals Of the gov
eminent, where they are charged and
then sent to the forts and fortresses, or
the vessels on which they are to be used.
The projectile has no penetrating quail
ties. and when it strikes an object, ex-
piodes with terrific force thus doing more
damage than if It plunged it's way through
the steel plates Of a vessels side.

CONGRESSMAN LAMB on SITUATION
More War Talk in Richmond Than
I'm Washington.


CONGRESSMAN John Lamb arrived in the
city on Friday night, and will return to
Washington tomorrow. He said yester-
day that he had heard more war talk
in two hours in Richmond than he had
heard in two weeks in the capital city
As to the sentiment in Congress, he
said that it was strongly in favor of war
if it becomes necessary to uphold the in
tegrity Of the nation, but there is a we'll
defined conservative element, which will
do all in it's power to avert hostilities
until It is clearly proved that the time
has arrived to engage in them. From
all he has been able to learn, he says,
the feeling in Spain is as intense as it is
in America, ana he fears that war may
come from some act Of indiscretion on
the one side or the other, either on the
high seas or in Cuba.

GOOD WORK OF THE CUBANS.
admiral Sampson Praises Their Eff
fective CO-OPeratiOn.

The Navy Department continues to hear
frequently from Admiral Sampson relative
to the general condition of affairs with the
fleet off Santiago. These advices have not,
UP to a late hour today, brought news OF
the landing OF the troops under General
Shafter. but the department is hourly ex-
pecting that the cable communication now
restored will permit Admiral Sampson to
send full information of the steps taken 10
that end. The reports last received speak
of the satisfactory condition of affairs, and
particularly draw attention to the contin-
ued good work being done by the Cubans.
The admiral says that ne now has about
Loco Cubans fully armed engaged in the
bushwhacking work. which has proved so
effective in protecting the marines, and in
preparing the way for the American troops.
This force of Cubans is quite apart from the
regular force under Generals Rabbi and
Garcia, and is detached body of guerrillas,
which is cooperating with our naval forces
rather than with the army. The extent
to which the Cubans have been exposed to
action is shown by the report reaching the
Navy Department that thirty wounded
Cubans have been placed on the Solace.
This is believed to be considerably more
than the wounded among the American
marines. Surgeon General Van Reypen cf
the navy has directed the chief surgeon of
the Solace to receive Cuban wounded and
give them the same treatment and facil-
ties accorded to our own men. Later, the
hospital ship Relief will receive the Cuban
wounded, as the Relief is an army ship,
and the work of the Cubans is looked upon
as more properly coming under their direc-
ton. Pending the arrival of the Relief no
distinction will be made between AmerI-
cans or Cubans, army or navy, in the relief
which the Solace is able to extend. She
will wait for a full load of sick and wound
