A STARTLING STATEMENT
Our largest Ships Cannot Enfer
 inc Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secret2ry Long has sent to Congress the startling statement that the Brooklyn Navy Yard is practically cut off from the sea to all the largest ships. This announce ment follows the disaster to the Magsa chusetts Cn Diamond reef seve a, days ago. The inquiry which was ins -itut- ed by the Navy Department shows in the opinion of the Board that the com manding officer, navigator and plot were at fault in not having On the bridge at the time of the accident the latest government charts Of the vicini- ty. The matter as concerns them will will probably go no further, for Secre- tary Lcng's commUnic&itiCn $ a vir- tual admission that the location is an unsafe cne fer warships Cf the greatest draft to pass. On the day Of the grounding of the battlesh;p the t'Ee in the bay was unusually low. and with the west wind prevailing the d-pth O. the water over the rest was but 2410 feet, whito the MassachUs-t-s drew 2j ft'. The marvel Of the who-e affair to naval officers is that the ship was not Iuined by the collision It VII be nee ess2Ty for the government to remove the reef without de13y if the New York Navy Yard IS to be accessible to the biggest ships of war and Secretary Longs purpose in sending the letter t1 Congress is to have the House conn t. teee on rivers and harbCqs provide funds for the work The army en- gineers say that estimates have been presented repeatedly fir dredging and excavation at this reef, but the 1e-- Ommendation has met the fate cf many ether estimates from the chies cf en- gineers. It is calculat-d that the work will cost the government nearly two and half milli-n dd,la1s, and that fully half million shcu,d be made i'm mediately available to begin the pro- ject

GO BANG FOR AMERICA.
A New Yorker Pays $250O for the
 Wire-Coated Fox Terrier.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Go Bang. a dog as noted at English bench shows as Ormonde was among thorough breds, has been purchased by c. M. CarnCchan of the stock exchange, and will be in this city with four kennel companions in time for the Westminster Kennel club show next month at Madison Square garden. The price was S2,5OO, the largest sum, it is said, ever paid for fox terrier, wire or smooth, in any country. August Belmont is reported to have refused greater sum for Blem- ton Victor II, and the Rutherfurds as much for Warren Safeguard
 No other dog in Great Britain has ever come near to Go Bang as a prize winner, and he has won nearly as much fame as sire of winners He is near ly years old, cobby-built type of fox terrier that the breeders rave over. In the head Go Bang is heavily marked. what the fanciers term "gaily" marked. his fox-like, snappy muzzle being back ed by tan face and blackish ears. the coloring characteristic of the Knaves- mire Jest stamp, who was the sire of Meersbrook Bristles, the father of Ca Bang.

He has won over SoU hrst prizes and money awards His greatest honor has been to win twice the champion cup for the best fox terrier at the Crystal Palace show and to have won a similar trophy a5 nearly every show in England, at each of which he was placed in fox terrier classes. Win:hroy Rutherfurd, who saw Go Bang on his last trip abroad, pronounced him the beSt fox terrier he had ever seen.
 MeersbrCok Bristles, the sire of Go. Bang, and now almost too old for the shCW bench, has just been brought out to Boston by J. c. Reyes, who is said to have paid $1,75O for him.
 The first high price ever paid for "ire-haired fox terriers was in 1885. when Uord Lonsdale paid 25O guineas each for Champion Briggs and Miss Miggs- H. w. Smith of Worcester. Mass, paid s1,75O for Cribbage. since dead, in 1895, which ruled as the rec ord price until the present sale. Go Bang has been insured fer one year for the full price paid.

She was seen by two Lincoln park policemen, who called to her to come back and then followed her over the ice pack and rescued her by inn provising a bridge of blanks.

FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Sir Julian Pauncefote. British Am-bas-
 sador, Remains Here.

New York, Jan 18-A Washington dispatch to the Herald says Sir Julian lPauncefota, the British ambassador, will remain accredited to the United States for another year, beginning in April.
 This unusual action on the part of the British government arises from it's deep interest i'll the negotiations for the abrogation of Cha Clayton-Bul- wer treaty, and q new treaty guaran- teeing the neutrality of the proposed Nicaraguan canal. with which Sir Julian is so familiar.
 Sir Julian would naturally have been retired last spring, but the British government, as a mark Of friendship and because of the critical condition of the relations between the United States and Spain determined to retain him here for another year. The negotia- tions with reference to the Nicaraguln canal are now in such shape that it would be difficult for a successor to Sir Julian to handle them properly. In view of this fact Lord Salisbury has directed that he be retained in Wash ington, and the embassy has received official word to this effect.
 Great Britain does not propose to relipQuish without compensation the rights conferred upon her ill the pro posed canal by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. She desires it to be understood that the canal must be neutral in war as well as in peace, for she appreciates the importance Of such waterway in case Of hostilities in he far east.
 The administration is quite willing that the canal shall be strictly neutral. and there will be no difficulty, it is ex> pected, in reaching a satisfactory con- clusiCn on this pOint

BOYS SEE The POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make It
Easy. No Capital Invested.
How They do 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in st. Louis
in business which brings weekly
profit of from $4,000 TO $4,000. It's
the selling of daily papers. Hundreds
of families live comfortably on the
profits of the sale OF daily newspapers.
In St. Louis the favorite newspaper
with the boys is the POST-DISPATCH.
because it sells best. An investigation
has shown that the hoys sell more
copies of the daily POST-DISPATCH
than the combined sales of the two
other English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys find in
selling papers is they are their ''own
boss" They come and go when they
please. While many have regular
corners and newstands, others merely
walk the streets each having his own
peculiar way of '.crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite different on
Sunday. The papers are printed in
the morning and by six o'clock the
boys and men are out in search of
buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa
pSTS. hduN DUyS Oub COO mum
dred papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all he can
do to get over the ground.
Sundays as on week days finds the
POST-DISPATCH everywhere. It's
ready seller. It's the ..most for the
money" The Sunday POST-DIS-
PATCH has many original and exclu-
sive features, including the Colored
Comic Weekly.
These great newspaper offices have
what is called Circulation Depart
ment," the object of which is to pro-
mote the sale of the papers. This
department answers all requests for
sample copies (Which are sent free),
and SO Oh. In the country as in ST.
Louis, they are constantly looking for
''agents" (boys or men to represent
them). This is done by the aid of
travelling men and correspondence.
All letters are promptly answered. 1t
is pleasant work, especially in the
towns outside of st. Louis. Boys in
the outside towns are not called news
boys. but agents.
More money is made outside of ST.
Louis because the selling price is
more and the profit greater.
II you would like to be an agent for
the Post-Dispatch in this city write to
the circulation department OF POST
Dispatch, ST. Louis.
