Washington. Oct. LIN anticipation
of the assembling Of congress two
months hence to-day was set as the
time for receiving the annual reports
Of the naval bureau chiefs, outlining
the naval work 70 be done during the
coming year. Most Of the estimates
are now completed and 10 the hands
OF Secretary Long. and the more de-
tailed reports will go In within the next
few days. Until they have been gone
over by the secretary no authentic de.
tails are available. In the main, how
ever, they are understood to involve
little in the way of expensive or new
projects, and to cover only the usual
requisites of the service for the year.
The chief item as usual is that for the
increase of the navy" covering both
construction and engineering work on
ships already authorized. This will be
In the neighborhood Of $2O,O0O,OOO. In
the branch of yards and docks II Is
understood that the total will be not
far from $13,0OO,O0O and will not In.
volve any additional dry docks or ex.
tensive changes in our naval stations.
In addition to the foregoing item for
Increase of the navy there is the usual
sum for repair of vessels already In the
service, which is considerable item,
amounting this year to approximately
$7,0OO,OOO. In the branch OF steam en-.
cheering the estimates do not go be.
yond the requirements for carrying
forward the regular service. The item
OF armor and armament Is of special
interest In view Of the controversy on
the cost of armor, but the future
course regarding this probably will de.
pend considerably on the result of the
present efforts to get armor within the
rate fixed by the last congress.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 2.-According Il

last Friday. Several years ago the de

defalcations OF Theodore Schints Mr.
Casgrain lost about $35, 900. and he LOST
heavily in land speculation In Fort

For year prior to his death he was
In the employ of James Steward & Co.

Another Point of View.

The man of the hoe is monarch, a
very lord of the earth;
He can make the smiling harvest Danish
the frown of dearth;
But he is monarch discrowned, a
faint-hearted craven or worse,
Who envies the rich and the idle and
thinks of his hoe as curse.
That man is an migrate and traitor, who
leaveth his hoe to rust;
The hoe and the strength to WELD it,
were given to him in trust;
He can make work noble and holy. or
make it the task of the slave,
A milestone to crush his manhood, or a
mighty power to save.
A hoe with rust corroded is a Haunt
ing badge of shame;
For the rust that mars the iron shall
mar the owners fame;
For he who spurns his birthright shall
grub in the dark as the mole,
And none may pity his fate if the iron
enter his soul;
For man is made in the image of Him
who is never at rest,
Who labors forever and ever, and thus
all labor is blestl
The man of the hammer and sledge, and
he of the spade and the hoe,
Are placed by God, the Creator, as the
demiurge below!
Whether with hoe or scepter, man is
always man!
And labor for him is ever blessing,
never ban!
The likeness of God is action, impressed
on the earth below,
And who does his duty is godlike be
his symbol scepter or hoe.
Tho he be peasant or noble, he's a
weakling if he repine
That others are greater or richer, that
chime" is greater than "mine".
He is great who is faithful to duty, he
is rich whose soul is content;
For all that man has or can hope for is
only what Heav'n has lent.

Beat Records OF Twenty Yenrs.

Chicago, Oct. 4-Shipments of
wheat from Chicago for the month Of
September reached the noteworthy
total of 6,365,644 bushels. 1t. is said
among vesselmen that for no month
for twenty years have these shipments
been exceeded. The greater part of
wheat came from Kansas and the
southwest. While Chicago has been
sending out wheat by the million, Du-
luth and other Lake Superior ports
have done practically nothing. Rates
from Duluth have averaged materially
less than from Chicago all through the
month. The large proportion Of wheat
is the grain trade has proved burden
some to low grade vessels, which are
compelled to pay excess insurance.
Wheat being vaued ut twice as much
as corn, this excess for barges and low
grade steamers doubles the amount
which the vessel is required to pay to
become standard.
