Seaport of the South.

It has long been evident that the
rapidly increasing movement of grain
and merchandise towards the south
ern seaboard would demand an in
crease of shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte, at the head Of
Galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad-
vantages surround LaPorte, notably it's
being the fartherest inland seaport on
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte-
sian water, a climate unsurpassed in
the south and an attractive city site.

No Nor. Nitro-Glyserin Powder.

The manufacture of nitro-glycerin
powder for the use of the army will
be abandoned and the army ordnance
department will adopt a pure soluble
cotton powder, similar to that used by
the navy. The decision for this change
is brought about by an accident which
recently occurred at Sandy Hook
while testing a 6-inch gun and while
using the smokeless powder made for
use in S-inch guns, but with the grains
cut in half. The charge, on this oc-
casion, gave a pressure of over $4,000
pounds, which exceeded the pressure
gauge of the gun. Several parts Of the
breech mechanism were injured.

from 10 counties in the state and par
tial returns from the others, including
the full vote Of Chicago, in Cook
county, indicate plurality for McKin-

Chairman Watson Of the Democratic

also indicate the election of the full Re-

siderably under the presidential figures,
the scratching being confined almost
entirely to Cook county. Returns SO

have lost two congressman in Chicago.
Outside of Cook county the congress

the regular Republicans winning by
