GREATEST OF MARINE MONSTERS.

GREATEST OF MARINE MONSTERS
Latest of the marine monsters ordered
for Transatlantic service is steamship
$50 feet long and 76 feet in breadth,
which will carry 1000 passengers and
II. 600 tons of dead load" The new
ship is for the Hamburg American line,
which already owns the Deutschland,
heetest of ships shoat.
The new ship has been ordered oil
Harland & Wolf, and will be built in
the yards at Belfast. The new vessel
will exceed the Oceanic of the White
Star line in length by 46 feet, and in
like proportion ia beam, carrying Ca
Dscity and passenger accommodations.
1t is expected that the new monster
will be launched ia 1903.
The new vessel is to be the extreme
development OF the Email" steamer.
She will have a speed of Is knots, ele-
gaOt accommodations for $50 cabin pas
sengers, placed high smidships, as the
cabins are already arranged on the
Pennsylvania and other new vessels OF
this class, and the ability to carry
thousands of tons more freight than
anything else sfiost.
Such vessels have all their accommo.
dations, both for passengers and
freight, in constant demand, and they
cost practically no more to run than
the smaller ships of similar grade. 1t
is to obtain the benefit of this economy
that the new vessel has been designed.

Virginians outside of Richmond have
long said that that has become North

of its newspapers prove that 1t has; but
surely the democrats there have not
become as demoralzed as to require
the efforts of speakers from beyond
their States limits to stimulate them to
do their duty, and to stand by their 10
litical friends in the North, who ere

SOME Northern South hsters and
Southern gushers complain of the South
because she doesn't offer sufficient pecu-
MARY inducement to induce Northern
manufacturers to establish in, or move
their plants to, the Southern States, and
attribute that failure to lethsrgy and
lack of enterprise. Such people don't
know what they are talking about With
few exceptions, nearly all the new in
dustries and enterprises in the South
have been started by Southern men and
on Southern capital, and in view OF the
terrible condition in which the South
was left by the war between the States,
and of her inability to borrow money
since that time, the increase in the
number Of them is wonderful.

A REPUTABLE and reliable U. s. Of

I'VE merely have a nominal hold on

anywhere, at any tine, or by anybody.

THAT General Chsffee, the command
or of the U. S. troops in China, has
common sense, is proved by the fact
that he has advised the withdrawal of
the American army from that country
and opposes the avowed intention OF
the other allies, OF insisting upon the
return of the Chinese ruler tc Pekin
and arranging the terms of peace In
that city, and does the latter upon the
ground that no European emperor or
king would, for an instant, enter hos
tile camp, such as Pekin now Is, to ne
gotiate a peace treaty.

The imperialists say the opposition
TO the United States manifested in the
Philippines, is only that of a few OF the
inferior aud worthless class OF the peo-
ule of those islands. But conclusive
refutation of the truth OF that state
ment is afforded by the fact that
though all the Filipinos have been sup
piled with arms, and though thirty dol
lars have been offered for the surren-
der to U. S. officers of any kind Of gun,
new or old, few or none have been
turned 10, and that, too, though many
OF the natives have been reduced a.
most to the point of starvation. II is
difficult to assimilate such people, eitb-
or benevolently or otherwise. There
are few humauized Americans who
wouldn't sell their arms to keep from
starving.

SCHOOL BOARD SUSTAINED - The
new Mount Vernon school building,
near Del Ray, in the county, was filed
to overlooking last night by citizens
anxious to hear the decision in an ap-
peal brought from the action OF the dis.
trict school board of that district. The
appeal board was composed OF James
r. Clements, superintendent Of the
schools of the county, and Trustees
William n. Febrey and William Ball.
The charges were that the district
board of Jefferson district had erred, 10
that it had appointed teachers to the
new Mount Vernon school who held
certificates of a lower per cent. than
some others who had applied for the
position of teachers ia that building,
and that pariislity had been shown 10
the appointment Of teachers for the
school in question. The petitioners pray
ed the reversal of the action OF the die.
trict board, and that a reassignmeDt OF
teachers be made.
Miss Margaret J. Bashford was one
of the teachers asked to be reassigned,
10 which she objected, and was repre-
sented by Mr.. :. &. Brett OF this city.
rhe parties appealing were J. A. L.
Marsteller, J. d. Ashford, |. d. Arnold,
G. A. Campbell, p. H. Farley, W. G..
Wesdon, Charles D. Pardoe and W. E
Arnold.
The appeal board heard the evidence
Of those appealing, in which it was as
certsiDed that all of the applicants for
places iE the pew school building held
6rst-grade certificates. But that is the
highest grade certificates given to ap
plcants IN the State, and that both ap-
plicants over whose assignment the dit
ference seemed 10 have arisen had been
appointed to places as teachers in the
district.
Tie appeal board then heard the evil
dence and reasons why the action OF
the district school board should be sus-
tanned, aud trustees G.. E Garrett and
Q. P. Price said that applicants had
come before them with first grade GER
tiicstes, and that their board had elect
ed and assigned them according to law
and their best judgment. They re-
pudated the idea OF partiality. The
records OF the certifcation of teachers
we're placed in evidence, with a very
large and strong petition in favor OF
Miss Bssnford, as one of the teachers in
the new building.
Speeches were made by several resi-
dents asking the appeal board to sus-
tain the action OF the district trustees Of
the county.
The appeal board finally rendered
d. cision, sustaining in every particular
the action of the district board and coz.
frming the assignment of teachers
made by that board.
