Failure to Dispose OF Justis Island

The failure to make a final disposition
of JustfS Island is acting as checkmate
to the improvements planned by the VIII

the local yards is limited, and this fact.
taken in connection with the rush Of
work. has rendered 1t impossible for the
Trigg Company to accept other awards,
that would be made them. In connection
with this fact, it is noticeable that Nor
folk, Newport News and Alexandria, all
of which are making strong efforts to
have the Trigs yards removed. offer al
most unlimited room.
Within the past few days the company
has received letters asking for bids on
steamers. One is from the Old Dominion
Steamship Company for a passenger and
freight steamboat, and the other from
the Lehish Valley Railroad Company for
a freight steamer Of 5000 tons.
1t Is possible that the Lehish VALLEY

longer than that prescribed by the Old

not been definitely decided.

cities to have the plant removed have
been discussed. but no action has been

Professor DeHotte with scientific

that the social conditions demanded the

Mr.. Sirnms. of Tennessee, submitted
some remarks concerning pensions. He
presented some interesting STATISTICS re-
garding the claims for pensions on ac-
count Of the Spanish war. From the
twenty-three regiments engaged in the
Santiago campaign. which suffered cas-
uaNties to the number of 1884, had come
1852 applicants for pensions.
The eighth volunteer regiment engaged
at Santiago, which suffered 200 casual
ties, presented 3,5SS applicants. These
latter regiments, he said. were all from
the North. Eight Southern regiments
that suffered a loss of 159, had only 16l
applications for pensions. This discrep-
ancy he accounted for; by the statement
that in the South the pension mania was
not rampant
