Capt. Mahan, the Anglomaniac, has
an article on the Monroe Doctrine in
an English magazine, in which he
says: 1.-The United States is inevitably
the preponderant American power, but
she does not aspire to be paramount"
What does he mean? OF course, she
aspires to be paramount on this CONT
nent and expects to see the day when
her flag will float in triumph over all
the land and water in the western
hemisphere. But that day is in the
dim and distant future.

4 SUCCESSFUL MANEUvER
Col. Steevers of the Fourth Cavalry
Defends Fort Riley.
Military Problem often Encoun-
tered In Actual War Success
fully Worked Out.

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. 26.-Col Stee-
vers of the Fourth cavalry. who has
proven several times during the present
series of maneuvers what dashing
work he can do at the head of the
troopers, was given a chance to show
what he can do when compelled to
hang on and fight for his life. He was
given command of small force de-
Tending Fort Riley against superior
numbers under Gen. Carr, and ordered
to hold his place at all hazards. Col
Steevers' position at Fl. Riley was, by
the terms of the military problem,
made vital to the blue forces, in order
that junction might be made between
1t and hypothetical main body. Gen.
Carr's force was designed to prevent
the junction of the two blue" armies,
and in order to prevent this his object
was to carry the position at FIT. Riley
by assault. Col Stecvers' command
consisted of the battalion of engineers
Sixth infantry, battalion of the
Twelfth infantry, a squadron of the
Fourth cavalry and two batteries OF
artillery. Gen. Carr's command COM
prised the Missouri, Nebraska and Tex
as regiments, First and Second Kansas
Second, Twenty-first and Twenty-fifth
regular infantry, Fifty-fifth Iowa.
Eighth cavalry, Tenth cavalry, one
squadron of the Sixth cavalry and four
batteries. The problem, which was
carefully arranged by Col. Wagner
the chief umpire, resulted in a spirited
contest on the hills back of Fl. Riley.
and was highly successful.

More Pensioners.

All of the pension returns have
been received at the auditors Office
and in a short while the distribu-
ton of the 100000 annual appro'
priation will begin.
The total number of pensioners
this year that succeeded in getting
on the list was 1888, against $3.50
for last year. The increase in the
number has reduced the amount
that will be distributed to those in
the "pro rata or unpreferred class"
from $3.50 to 1854.
Among the white pensioners there
are in the class receiving 800 per
annum So benefciaries, as against
So for last year; in the second class
213, as against 206; in the third
class 2,876 widows, as against 2,703,
and 1895 men, against 3,400.
Among the negro pensioners only
1 is in the first class, against 4 for
last year; 10 in the second class, as
against Z last year, and $50 in the
pro rata class, as against 307 last
year. The negroes to whom pen
sions were given were, Of course,
servants of the Confederate soldiers
and sailors.
Blank applications are being sent
out by the AUDITORS office to the va

Geological Survey of Mississippi.

R. H. Henry, of the Clarion
Ledger, and Chancellor Fulton, of
the State University, returned last
week from Washington, where they
went for the purpose of seeing if it
was not possible to have a thorough
geological survey of the State made
by the United States government.
The government has made a partial
survey of the State, but it is by no
means complete. They called on the
director Of the geological depart
ment while in Washington and laid
their request before him. While they
were given no absolute promise in
regard to the matter, the officials
seemed to give the matter a favora-
BILE consideration, and acknowledged
that such survey should have been
made before now. They are hope
full that the senators and congress
men from this State will take up the
matter and help get it through. The
legislature Of the State some years
ago memorialized congress to make
such survey, but it was never done.

The Rapid Growth of GuIfport.

The rapid growth of the port of
Gulfport as a-shipping point is very
gratifying to all Mississippians. 1t
is probable that no other Southern
port has assumed such proportions
in SO short a time. Last year the
registered net tonnage of the port
was only 1918 tons, and the total
of lumber shipped was 19,oO7,-
237 feet. For the first nine months
of this year the tonnage of the har-
Dor shows that there has been an
enormous increase, the total amount
being $4,000, while the shipments Of
lumber for the same period amount
to 73,461 AS. Thirty-one sea-go-
ing vessels entered the port during
the year 1902, while during the last
nine months 70 sea-gong ships have
entered the port. This is a remark
able increase and shows that Gulf
port is rapidly forging to the front
as a Southern port.
