CONTINUE WORK OF SURVEY.
Made Out of the Southern
Coast of Cuba.

In compliance with instructions
given by Rear Admiral Bradford,
chief of the bureau of equipment, an
extensive survey of the south side of
the island of Cuba is to be begun
during the coming winter. Beginning
at Cape Maysi, the surveying vessels
will carefully chart the coast of the
island to Cape Antonio, the extreme
westerly point of the island.
The waters along the south shore of
Cuba are filed with Instructions,
many of which are uncharted. At
many points the Spanish charts are
defective, and the navy department
deems it essential to navigation that
survey shall be made which will
completely establish the dangers ex-
isting in that part of the Cuban wa
ters,
As result Of American occupancy,
the haroors of Santiago, Guantanamo
and Carbanito have been completely
surveyed. The Vixen win soon com
plete the survey of Port Padre, on
the north side of the island and will
then go to Manzanillo. Before the
Eagle goes to Cape Cruz to commence
survey work at that point she will
chart the harbor of Nipe, on the north
side of Cuba.

FUTURE OF ARTILLERY.
The Subject Considered of Utmost Inns
pOrtnnce by European Armies
Rnpid-Fire Guns in Favor,

Capt. Beverly W. Dunn, of the ord
nance bureau, has returned from Eu.
rope, where he spent several months
in the study of ordnance matters in
England, Germany, France. Belgium
and Switzerland. He was able to Sc
cure much valuable information re-
garding the manufacture of ordnance,
European governments very accom-
modating in giving their methods and
views. Capt. Dunn in the preliminary
report he has made to the ordnance
bureau here says that all ordnance
officers as well as field officers of
European armies believe the subject
of field artillery is one of the most
important being considered. They
think that the development of artil-
lery has reached very critical stage
and that there are about to be great
and important changes. The interest
is intense and the belief is general that
field artillery is to be the most im-
portant part of modern warfare.
Events in the Philippines, the war in
South Africa and the campaign in
China, it is said, have made this ap-
parent. European officers are work.
ing in the direction of rapidfre guns
almost exclusively. They desire to Sc
cure rapid-fire guns and if possible
preserve the present degree of mo-
bility, but they are inclined to sacri-
fee little in time in bringing the
guns into action i'll order to secure
the greatest effectiveness from quick
firing.
AS to coast defense and fortifica-
tions, Capt. Dunn reports that the
tendency is toward longer guns with
a higher velocity and smaller calibers.
In this the European war offices ap-
prove the position of the United
States. 1t is believed that thel,new
type of gun will be more effective
than heavy guns of large caliber, but
with shorter range.

wants to lie ReconciIed.

London Truth says that one reason
why the prince of Wales gave up his
intended visit to Marienbad at the
last moment was his desire to avoid
a meeting with the duke OF Orleans
who had prolonged his stay at that
watering place in order that he might
be there when the prince should ar.
rive. 1t is believed that the duke OF
Orleans had intended to force a pub.
lie and formal reconciliation upon the
prince. Since the death of the comte
de Paris the duke of Orleans has been
entirely ignored by the court during
his residence in England. The queen
has never invited him to visit her,
and the prince of Wales has taken no
notice of nlm for long time past.

RIVER RIPPLES
What the Wild Waves are Saying" to
HabltueS Of the Wharf.

There Is not nearly so much encour-
agement for steamboatmen as there
was several days ago, when rains, If
not heavy at least continuous, were
falling up the river and a good stage
was confidently expected here. Down
the river the rise was much more
marked and the stage was very en-
couraging for several days, as the Ka-
nawha and several other streams had
quite volume of water to pour into
the Ohio.
The Jewel, in coming down from
Wheeling, broke a wrist and blew out
two cylinder heads, necessitating the
use of one side of the boats machin-
cry for propelling power. She is tied
up at the West Side wharf until the
breakage can be repaired.
The Ben Hur passed down the river
to Parkersburg, where she will go on
the docks for repairs.
The Valley Belle also took advant-
age of the boating stage last week and
passed down the river for Cincinnati
with tow of coal.
At present the river is falling and
the effects of the temporary rises are
not now noticeable.
The H. K Bedford, which has been
running al summer in the Cincinnati
Maysville trade, took advantage of the
slight rise to makeher way TO Marietta
where she is at present awsiting the
opening of the boating season, when
she will again enter her regular run
between Wheeling and Parkersburg.
The Bedford is directed this year by
a new captain, Gus Frantz.
The Calhoun passed up the river at
6 p. m. for Sistersville.
The little steamer Harry will make
her regular trip to st. Marys at one
o'clock.
The T. N. Barnsdall, which has been
at Point Pleasant during the summer
months, came up the river Wednesday
and is moored at the West Side wharf.
There will be quite a bunch Of river
craft to start out from Marietta when
the river will finally admit the re-
sumption Of the regular traffic.

cEITH's THEORIES ON SUICIDE
Stir Up nm Interesting Discussion
Among Men who Have Given
the Subject Thought.

Prof. Goldwin Smiths "Theorics
on Suicide" which were published in
the New York Herald, have aroused
the interesting question as to the eff
feet of higher civilization on suicide,
which, Prof. Smith asserts, is to in
crease it. Another OF Prof. Smiths
theories is that marriage is safe
guard against suicide. On both of
these points there is decided diff
ference. of opinion among prominent
specialists.
Prof. Charles L. Dana indorses DR..
Smiths theories, and says that there
will continue to be an increase of
suicide and insanity until civilized
peoples learn to adjust themselves a
little better to the conditions of life.
Prof. Dana also looks on marriage
as a safeguard against suicide, and
said that statistics prove the proper
tion of suicides to be less among
married than among single persons.
DR.. E. c. Spitzka asked why, if mar
riage is safeguard against suicide,
no book on suicide is considered COM
plete without a chapter on "con-
nubial causes" Both Dr. Dana and
DR.. Smith separated the married
from the divorced in their estimates,
but DR.. Spitzka included the divorced
as being a result of marriage. DR..
Spitzka has compiled an interesting
table showing that the husbands of
literary women especially have high
er rate, not only of suicides, but of
general mortality.- than other men.
DIR. John II. Nagle. head of the bu-
reau of municipal statistics, could not
indorse either of Prof. Smiths theo-
ries. AS to the increase, he shows
table in which the suicides of New
York city are estimated from 1904 to
1880. In this period the suicides went
from one in every 7,4S6 of the popu-
lation in 1904 to one in every 1898
of the population in 1SS0-not very
great difference-but in this time
they had fuctuated in various years.

THE COMMERCE. REPORT

The report of the Commerce Commission, COM

Alexander r. Smith. secretary is in substance
follows:
The preliminary report to the Legislature was
submitted January IA, 1899 The proceedings
OF the Commission were suspended awaiting the
action Of the Legislature thereon The amended
act did not become law until May . 1899
In the prosecution of the investigation subse-
quent to the enactment of the amended act
the Commission has been enabled to hold
thlrty-two public sessions, at which there ap-
peared In response to subpenas and ex-
amlned, more than hundred Witnesses

would decrease year by year as the valuation

BETTER MANAGEMENT ADVISED.
Finally the committee urges that the efficiency
of the canals depends upon their management
quite as much as upon their physical size, and
advises that no money be spent for further en-
largement unless accompanied by legislation
which shall remove the existing limitation on
capital of canal navigation companies, shall or
ganize the State employees on the canals on a
basis Of efficiency and merit, and shall change
the laws regarding contracts with the State.
The report proper is followed by number of
appendices containing a report on his investiga-
ton of European canals made by Mr.. Wither-
bee of the committee, last summer; memoranda
by Major Symons giving details Of the cost Of
transportation and estimates of cost; joint re-
port of the engineers Of the committee, Messrs.

call your attention especially to that portion
Of the committees report in which they set
forth that the efficiency of the canals depends
their physical size, and that there should be no
further money spent upon them unless accom-
panied by measures which Will secure their man
agenlent upon absolutely business basis The
measures are these:
First-To remove ali restrictions as to the
amount OF capital OF companies engaged in
transportation. so as to encourage instead of
hamperfng the development of these modern
business methods which are largely the foun-
dation Of our present prosperity.
Secono-To provide for mechanical means for
traction and the use Of mechanical power in the
place Of hand power in the locks.
Third-The organization of the force on a per-
manent basis. to afford a guarantee that
the entering into the service Of applicants their
tenure Of office and promotion, will depend
solely upon their fitness. This consider rec
ommendatioh Of vital Importance. We must
make IL possible for young engineers TO enter

the like should be employed only when they
show themselves presumably fit for the work
and should be kept so long, and only so long
they render efficient service, being promoted

DEFICIENT TERMINAL. PIERS.
The lack of ample and shielded piers at New
York and at Buffalo minimizes the opportunities
OF the canal boats to seriously compete with the
railroads, and especially upon those high classes
of freight upon which the highest rates Of trans
portaton are paid The railroads, therefore
have the most lucrative of the traffic wholly
under their control, and are enabled to- and do
concentrate their competition with the canal
boats wholly upon that class Of freight upon
the transportation Of which the canal boats de-
pend for a profit. This in large degree ac-
counts for the willingness or ability of the rail-
roads at times to carry grain at rates as low
lower than the canal boats
Thus 1t is that the railroads in combinations
having their terminals at Buffalo and at New
York, have been able to restrict the traffic bv
