mates for 1876 are i'm the hands Of the Fl
nance Minister and have not yet been
made public. but 1t has been learned that
they contain rUthirE except statements
OF the sums required FOR maintenance and
tho construction OF vessels already under
way. and they have been placed at an
~irrcduciblo minimum for keeping the
fleet ON It's present effective basis.
such new ships as will b asked for I'M
der the nava programme will be includ-
cd in a supplementary budget. which. II
IS understood. will provide for two battle
ships. one armoTcd cruiser and FIVE tor
pcd1 boats.
None of these additional vessels has al
ready been laid down. as is sometimes
done. in anticipation Of an appropriation,
and no effort is being made to complete
the programme by 1876 or ISIS, rs It was
generally supposed two years ago Ger
many intended doing.
Such q realization Is now deemed i'm
possible. The programme will take the
siNt,cn-ycar course originally outlined in
1879. The reason is an obvious one-lack
Of money.

reprimanded by their employers. the re-
ports read.
Among other subjects discussed were
the garbage question and the waste-plper
boxes which are TO be placed on the street
corners. Reports from inspectors show
that. while the garbage i'm many parts OF
the city is collected. the situation In 9th
cr parts. especially in the Third Ward. is
deplorable.
The Ladies' Sanitary Committee has
been working for more than ten months

The Newc of Selma.
Advertiser Bureau,


 Selma, Feb. %. l.. E. Jeffries has received from Andrew Carnegie a letter stating MT. Carnegie would not entertain a proposition to build a public library in Selma unless the City Council would promise sufficient appro- priation each year to warrant the main- teaarce of the institution. The letter is to be referred by Mir. Jeffries to the fnem- bacs of the Selma Library Association and to other advocates of public library in the city.
 The letter received by Mir Jeffries is a reply to a communication sent by him and Prof. R. E. Haedaway to MT. Carne- gie, assuring him that the Selma Library Association would, through its own and its friends resources, promise sufficient money for the support of the library if Mir. Carnegie would donate sufficient amount to construct the building.
 In his reply, MT. Carnegie said he could not consider the proposition, and that be- fore he would offer any monetary aid, he must have assurance of the material CO., operation of the municipal government. MT. Carnegie's letter was read this af- ternoon to the special library committee, composed of members of the association and interested citizens. It was resolved that President N. H. Mabry of the Libra ry Association should appoint commit tee to solicit subscriptions among mem- bers of the association that a sufficient amount could be raised to warrant the City Council in guaranteeing annual ap- propriations for the maintenance of the library. It is understood that when sub- soriptions have reached the required sum- the Council will be asked to guarantee maintenance of the library. President Mabry has not announced the names of the committeeman yet.

Selma & Cahaba Valley.

H. L. Mckee of Meridian. who is Pres ident of the Selma and Cahaba Valley Railroad Company, has called a meeting of the company to be held in Selma, March g, when 1t is understood steps will be taken to go over the Cahaba Valley survey with a view to the early com mencement of the actual construction of the railroad. From a reliable source comes the statement that a strong party Is interested in the road and there will be as little delay as possible in building the line from Selma into the coal fields of Cahaba Valley. It IS said in connec- ton with the railroad, barge line will be operated between the coal fields and Mobile.
 The citizens of Selma at one time sub. scribed $100,OO0 towards fund for the construction of the road, and among the stockholders are many who live here. The construction of the road would, of course be of great benefit to the city and would give to Selma trade facilities that ar, | possessed by few cities,
