Hard Fought Battle.

1t was a hard fought battle that New
Bern won yesterday.
Raleigh was defeated by the close
score of two against one. 1t was a hot
day and a hot game.
The attendance was small, horribly
small. but it made uD for its smallness
by great enthusiasm.
New Bern scored in the first and third
innings and Raleigh's only score was in
the sixth. which at one time was known
as Raleighs Lucky Sixth
Fillman opened with a hit for New
Bern, advanced on Devlin's sacrifice and
scored on Randolph's single. Laughlin
reached first on Pastors error. Foster
flew out to Sonel and Thackera went out,
Hook TO Smith.
In the third inning Filman reached
first on Hooks error an advanced on
Devlin's sacrifice, scoring on Randolph s
hit, the play of the first inning being
duplicated on advancing Fillman from
first to home, and the same men taking
part. When Randolph batted to short
a double ended the inning.
Raleigh's lonesome came in the sixth.
Soffel led with two Dagger, Kahn went
out on foul fly to the catcher, Rollins
died on a fly to center field. Soffel stole
third. Smith singled in right and Sofel
scored Hook walked, Philbin hit in
centre. and with the bases full T raegar
went out from short to first.
There were some live features of the
game, but these did no good except to
stir up enthusiast
Laughlin, New Bern5s first baseman,
got furious when the umpire called a
runner safe at first. and pushed the UNI
pirc about. For this he was properly
put out of the game.

Dr. RAIL AcRoss AUsrRALIA.
A Centinueus Line 10 Re Butt Across
the south Part OF the Continent.

A great railroad enterprise IL getting
under way In Australia. The surveys have
been made for q railroad from Port Au-
gusta in the State OF South Australia clear
across the southern edge Of the continent
TO the mining town Of Coolgardie In Western
Australia. As Coolgardie Ia already Joined
by rail TO Perth. on the west coast. the trans
continental road will be completed when
1t reaches that point.
The road will run quito near the sea.
where a telegraph has for years connected
the eastern and western coasts OF the con-
tlnent. Nine-tenths Of the mileage will be
through one OF the most barren deserts
Ia the world, but the building Of railroads
through desert lands no longer offers diff
cult problems to engineers. The problems
have been solved and no one doubts that
the stretching OF a railroad across this part
OF Australia will be successfully carried out.
The engineers say that on the limestone
plateau 10 the north OF the Great Australian
Blight, along whose shores the track will
be laid, Is the only part OF the continent
where there are no native tribes. A con-
siderable number OF natives, however,
live in the western part Of the region to DO
traversed.
Until the engineers recently went over
this desolate country the region had been
crossed only by Eyre, who, while vainly
hunting for new pasture lands, made the
Journey In 1904 that cost him 30 much
suffering and the loss OF his white com
rades.
This railroad will complete the connection
by rail Of all the important centres OF popu.
lation In Australia, excepting some isolated
settlements on the north n northeast
coasts. Heretofore it has always been
necessary 20 travel by sea between Perth.
Fremantle and Albany, the most important
towns In the State Of Western Australia,
and the well developed regions OF Victoria
and New South Wales.
But with the building of this railroad the
Journey may be made from the southwest
corner Of Australia through all the southern
States of the Commonwealth and north
along the east coast as far as R~ockhampton,
on the middle coast of Queensland. Thus,
nearly all the great mining regions and
agricultural districts will be connected by
rail either by the line along the coasts or by
branches from it already in operation in
eastern Australia, which penetrate into the
mining and wool-producing districts OF the
interior.
Eyre was saved from death when he
crossed the continent by the discovery
that he could obtain water by digging.
II will be remembered with what Infinite
difficulty the famous overland telegraph
carried across the waterless interior TO
meet the submarine cable on the north
cast.
But a great deal has been learned about
practical methods for carrying on enter.
prlses in the deserts since the overland
telegraph was stretched across the sandy
wastes of Australia; and there Is no reason
TO doubt that the desert railroad now TO be
built will be completed without very great
difficulty,

The Cost of Our New Navy"

A return made recently by the Navy
Department in response to a resolution
of the Senate calling for figures showing
the cos Of the " New Navy y is a finan-
cial history Of the navy for seven
teen wears. lsss-I90o, and as such is both
interesting and important. No similar
compilation has ever been made.
The Departments response purports
TO give the figures of the cost Of seventy
seven q finished vessels $ added to the
navy between March 8, 1888, when the
first act was signed TO re-create the
navy and June 30, 1000 it actually
gives the amount authorized by Con-
gress to be spent on that number Of
vessels, but gives the cost OF only sixty
eight vessels, nine Of the so-called = fin
ished vessels +" not being completed until
after the end Of June, 1900. The correct
figures are easily 10 be found, however;
and they are highly interesting,
For the seventy-seven vessels added
to the navy between 1888 and 1900, Con-
gress authorized the expenditure OF
ss7, oo4, o57, The appropriations made
afterward for the same vessels amounted

IN, leaving for the sixty-eight vessels

or nearly one million dollars for each
shin. The contract price Of these was

wireless Tclegraphy in tho Pacific.

One difficulty In the way Of a system OF
cable communication that shall unite all
our Far Eastern possessions is the depth
Of the ocean in the neighborhood OF
Guam. The water IL said to be deeper
there than in any other part OF the world.
The physical possibility Of landing at
Guam Ia yet under consideration. not
only by the advocates OF the bill for
Government ownership Of the proposed
Pacific cable but also by at least ono
OF the private corporations seeking a
concession.
On Saturday there arrived at this
port an American steamship which had
received an Ineligible communication by
wireless telegraphy from Cornwall, 1850
miles away; and single letter signals
when 2,lO0 miles away.
Now, Guam Ia not s far from our
Philippine island Of Mindanao as MIR.
MARcoNI and the Philadelphia were
from Poldhu when the last decipherable
message from that point was received
and read. Honolulu's distance from
San Francisco Is less than that which
which was covered by the signal s re-
corded by Mr.. MARCoNI's receiver when
2,lOO miles west Of Poldhu. The same
space more than covers the distance
from Honolulu to our Samoan island OF
Tutuila and our naval station at Pago-
pago harbor. .
Within the limit, therefore, OF actual
present achievement in the matter OF
long distance telegraphing across the
sea without a cable, is every American
possession in the Pacific. excepting only
the long stage between the Hawaiian
Islands and Guam. The marvellously
rapid development Of this method OF
transmitting intelligence leaves no doubt
that a thousand miles more or less will
soon be unimportant.
Will the electric current that is in the
future to bind US to our outlying pos
sessions in the Pacific be maintained
through a cable system, the estimated
first cost of which is SIS, Oo0, 900 according
TO the report OF the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee of the last
House, and the annual cost of operation
81, 500, 900? Or will the Government
messages to Honolulu, to Guam. 10
Pago-pago, to Manila, be flashed through
the air from station to station by the
system of MARcoNI, of TESLA, or some
Of the other men of genius now devoting
their minds to the perfection Of wireless
telegraphy?
This question is not merely OF specu-
lative interest. 1t is immediate and
practical, and Of to Congress
at the present time.

Porto Rico, the Philippines, Cuba

The House conferees TRANQUILITY &C
oepted on Saturday the Senate's re-
duction of twenty-five per cent. in
duties on goods imported into this
country from the Philippines. The
apprehension in that quarter that any
reduction of the sort might prove a
fatal wound to the general system Of
protection seems 10 have yielded 10
common sense.
Every argument that was urged W
years ago against tariff reduction for
the benefit OF Porto Rico applied with
equal force to the case Of the Philippines,
Protection survived first the Foraker
act. and. secondly, free trade with Porto
Rico. Protection is not MORALLY stricken
because the duties on Philippine i'm
ports are to be reduced to three-quar-
tiers of the Dingley rates. Nobody
thinks so now,
Nor will Protection take to its DEATH
bed when justice is done to Cuba This
nations moral responsibility for the
commercial welfare of Cuba is not less
than in the case of Porto Rico OF Of the
Philippines.

NEW ROUTE INTO AFRICA.
Steamers and Porters to Connect the
Sea With Lake Tpnganyika,

A COMPANY has been organized in Ger
many under the name of the Central Afri-
can Lakes Company to create a regular
TRANSPORT service from the coast to Lake
Nyassa and thence to Lake Tanganyika
EMPLOYING 5000 native carriers. The COM
pany will carry goods for the German Gov
IN for the stations OF Congo Free
State in the southeastern part Of its terri
tory and for the numerous missionary and
trading posts that are distributed over the
country.
The advantage of this route Is the large
amount Of water transportation it affords.
Vessels from Europe may unload their
oarsoes al Chinde in the Zambesi delta and
river boats will carry the freight up the
Zambesi and its Shire tributary TO the
rapids in that water.
A portage Of sixty miles will then be re-
auired. Al the head OF the rapids the
freight will he transferred TO steamboats,
bound for the head Of Lake Nyassa, 800
miles away. Another portage of 200 miles
will then be required to the foot Of Lake
Tanganyika whence German teamboats
will be able to deliver the freight at ports
along the thousand miles Of Tanganyika
coasts.
The land portage along the old caravan
route between Zanzibar and Tanganyika
is 500 miles in length. The new route will
involve only 260 miles OF land portage and
will thus affect a large saving of time and
expense.
The development Of their great territory
In East Africa will doubtless demand from
the Germans the building of a railroad
straight from the Zanzibar coast to Tan
ganyika. The route which they now pro-
pose To utilize is TO be opened because the
railroad which the British have completed
from the Indian Ocean to Victoria Nyanza
threatens TO divert to that northern route
most OF the trade the Germans have been
carrying overland TO Tanganyika.
1t is likely that the sharp competition
for the trade Of Central Africa will soon
compel the Germans to build this railroad.
but meanwhile the new route by Lake
Nyassa will be much cheaper and better
than their caravan road 10 Central Africa
which Is now employed.
