THE NAMES GUN MOUNTS.
Statement Prepared by Chief Construc
tor Bowles.

COr bOWleS.
At the request of the Secretary of the
Navy, Chief Constructor Bowles has pre-
pared the following statement Of the ma
ture of the repairs to be made to the
Maine:
1.-THE officers who have examined the tur-
rets of the Maine have found that the dam
age done consists largely in the loosening
up and breaking Of fastenings and rivets.
and in no respect due to general structural
weakness Of the ship. The supports under
the roller paths are Of the usual construc-
ton, being built up of plates and angles.
"Since the date of the design of the
Maine, however, the use Of smokeless pow
der with high-pressure guns has been
adopted, and the recoilS allowed have been
shortened; both of these improvements,
while desirable Of themselves, have greatly
increased the strains on the supporting
structure. which in actual test of firing has
proven inadequate.
Were 1t not for the great weight of the
revolving part of the turret amounting to
over 400 tons. the fitting of the additional
stiffening in the supports which has been
decided to be necessary would not be a
very elaborate work. but owing to the great
inaccessibility of the parts 1t is anticipated
that the repairs will take some little time.
THE determinations of the decks in the vi
cinity of certain six-inch guns, due to the
same general cause, are much less impor-
tant and can be easily remedied.
1.-THE chief constructor considers that no
blame can be attached to the contractors
for the Maine. as there was no evidence
whatever Of defective workmanship

ALLEGED REBATES DISGUISED.
Southern Shippers File Charges Of
Discrimination,

The Central Yellow Pine Association,
composed of lumber manufacturers and
shippers in Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
commission a formal request for an inves-
tigation of alleged illegal advantages given
to the manufacturers of yellow pine lum-
Der whose mills and plants are located
along the railways in Arkansas and Louis
lana, west of the Mississippi river. The
complaint alleges that in order to give these
advantages over the complaints in rival
markets. the defendant roads have intro
duced the practice of Disgusting rebates
given on lumber shipments through So
called "tap-line' divisions of freight car
ried. This means allowances on account of
the logging railroads owned by the manu-
facturers and shippers themselves to haul
logs from their timber lands to their vari-
Gus mills along the lines of the railroads.
"Such shippers the complaint alleges,
ARE treated as carriers pro tanto Of the
out and over the said railroads. Upon the
false theory that such shippers are en-
gagged in the continuous interstate and joint
carriage Of their lumber, they are allowed
and paid a substantial portion Of the
freight from the point of shipment to the
point of destination. no matter how many
lines of railway participate in the carriage.
The so-called tap division amounts to a re-
bate from the regular and published tariff
eral to as much as three cents per hundred
pounds or SIS per carload"
The roads made defendants are the VickS-
burg. Shreveport and Pacific Kansas City
Southern. St. Louis Southwestern and the
st. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern.

AMATEUR GARDENING.
Not Enough Care Given to Preparation
of the Beds.

This is the season of the year when the
amateur gardener begins to think OF his
planting" said an employe of the ASricui-
tural Department to a Star man this morn
ing Starting the bed right has as much
to do with the growth of the garden as the
seeds, and should be given just as much at
tention. The usual trouble with amateur
gardeners is that they are so anxious to get
the seed in the ground and watch for tho
sprouting that they do not make the proper
preparations. In the first place, the plot
to be used as a garden, be it large or small.
should be thoroughly well broken up. All
of the clods should be broken, not simply
mashed into the ground. This can be done
in a small plot with heavy iron rake. and
on a large one, where horse can be used.
with a harrow. The surface should pe
thoroughly broken up until the earth pre-
Sents an even firmneSs. Once II has been
put in this condition it should be thorough
ly rolled so that 1T will be firm, though Of
course not hard. This done. the plot
should be~laid off into squares and each
square marked with the kind of vegetable
that is to be planted, and the planting
should then be done systematically. OF
course some seeds should be put in th0
ground earlier than others, while with ooe-
bages and tomatoes the seed should be
planted in box, and when the plants have
attained a growth then transferred to tho
garden plot. Too much care cannot be ex-
ercised in the selection of seed. Any reita-
BILE seed man will pick these out for the
amateur"

Cable to the Farallone Islands.

The landing and successful operation Of
a government cable connecting San Fran
cisco and the Farallone Islands, thirty
miles outside the Golden Gate. is announced
in an official message just received by Chief
Moore of the weather bureau. This Ira
portant extension Of the weather service
was authorized by Congress as the result
of repeated representations from the mari
time interests Of San Francisco. Hereafter
the government will display storm warn
ings from it's Farallone station and all YES
sells will report to the station by signal, and
the observer will report them at once to
San Francisco, thus announcing arrivals
several hours ahead of the landing. The
new service will permit the calling Of tugs,
the communication of weather reports and
the conveyance of much maritime informa-
ton important to passing craft and to San

MEMORIAL DAY ORDER
BY COMMANDER OF POTOMAC DE-
PARTMENT, g. h.
Program to Be Announced in Suisse
quent Order-Spanish War Vet
Grams to Assist.

Commander Ivory G. Kimball of the De-
partment of the Potomac, Grand Army of
the Republic. has issued the first order
governing the celebra ton of Memorial day
The order charges members of the Grand
Army to let nothing interfere with their
being present at one of the cemeteries on
that day.
1t is designated as General order No.
g. and reads:
Our Savior on the night before His cru
c1f1xlon Instituted a service which all Of His
followers were directed to observe in re-
membrance of Him. The Grand Army of
the Republic has, in like manner. dedicated
day to be observed in remembrance of
our fallen heroes, not only the heroes who
fell on the field of battle, but the much
larger number equally heroic who, having
served their country faithfully, through the
years of war have served her as faithfully
IN the years since, and have been called
hence to join the great majority on the
other shore.
Memorial day is the nations holy day,
and the comrades of the Grand Army ought
10 insist, by precept and example, upon its
being thus observed and not regarded as a
holiday. On that day the grave of every
soldier who fought for the Union will be
decked with beautiful flowers whether 1t
be the lonely grave in the country burial
lot. or in the village cemetary, or in the
magnificent cities of the dead, each will be
sought out by loving hearts full Of graft
tude and devotion to the cause for which
they fought
National In Character.
I'm this loving service the Department OF
the Potomac, with the great cemeteries at
Arlington, Soldiers Home, Congressional
and many others, stands first, not only be-
cause this was where the service originat
ed, and because there are more soldiers
buried in this department than in any other
territory of like dimensions, but because,
being the seat Of government, the exercises
here have become national in their char
acter, and the observance of the day should
be such as to be an example of how the day
should be kept.
'All members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in this department are charged
to let nothing interfere with their being
present on Memorial day at the cemetery
to which subsequent order will assign
them and there join their comrades in this
memorial service.
"All soldiers who fought for the Union
not members Of our great organization are
service. Let our watchword be fraternity,
and let 1t bind us together in this loving
remembrance of the dead.
I'VE must not forget that many of
sons and grandsons, taught lessons OF
patriotism by our examples, gave up their
lives in the SpaniSh-American war and are
sleeping peacefully beside our dead COM
rades. Therefore, all veterans of the Span
ish-Amer1can war are invited to unite with
us on Memorial day, and may both to-
gether, united by love for the comrades
gone be thereby brought closer than ever
before in the bonds of fraternity, charity
and loyalty"
