BIG DRY-DocK.
Work Is progressing steadily on the
great million dollar concrete dry-dock
at this navy-yard. The contractor has a
very large force at work. All the surveys
and prelminaries have been completed
and the excavations of the mammoth
hole will begin in few weeks.
The officers of the depa Jment of con-
structlon and repair are taking the deep
est interest in the progress OF the work.
because it means much to their depart
ment. The insufficient facilities for dock.
ing the great battleships of the navy have
been a source of great loss to the yard.
and Of much Inconvenience to the con-
struction department.
The Illinois and the Maine, both types
of the latest advance In battleship con-
struction, and the docking of either OF
which would have been worth thousands
Of dollars to the yard. have been turned
away, the Maine twice in the past year.
The building Of the new dry-dock Will
eliminate this unpleasant and .exasper>
ating state Of affairs.

any man with drop of blood In his
body would have committed under similar
circumstances.
The Straightouts state that there would
have been no occasion for any encounteI
between Mr.. Huybert and the voter In
question. had the former not interfered
with the primary. with which, they say.
he had nothing whatsoever to do.
They still regard the assault as an out.
rage and will make application to the
court for the removal or punishment II
