the Damage.

report Oh Cn1eh COnstructOr bOWIes on
the Damage.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-At the request
of the secretary of the navy Admiral
Bowles, the chief constructor. has prepared
the following statement of the nature 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
and in 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 powder, with
higher pressure guns, has been adopted
and the recoils allowed have been short
ened; both of these improvements, while
desirable of themselves. have greatly in
ture, 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 superintendent weight which must
be supported and the inaccessiblity Of the
parts Ii is anticipated that the repairs will
take some little time. The determinations
of the deck in the vicinity of certain six
inch guns, due to the same general cause
are much less important and can be easily
remedied. The chief constructor considers
that no blame can be attached to the con-
tractors of the Maine, as there was no evil
dence whatever of defective workmanship"

Mr.. Newell, head buyer for the Amerl-

yesterday and informed several OF our
leading tobacco men that prices would be
better after while; that the American
Tobacco Company did not want the farm
ers' tobacco for nothing, and expected as
early as possible to pay reasonable price
for it. He said that the company was
laboring just now under several Difficult
ties, the lack of storage room and the
unpreparedness to handle the new crop.
He asked them to advise the farmers to
take care of their tobacco and keep it
for the present in their pack houses and
as early as possible his company would
pay fair prices for it. Mr.. Newell also
stated that the American Tobacco Com
pany expected to put up mammoth

purpose that is situated in front of their

THE MEkTS AND BOUNDS.

Ability to quote Scripture accurately is
the best armor a public speaker can put
on. In the discussion on lynching at the
Chautauqua Mr.. John Temple Graves
rather got the best of DR.. Buckley, the
noted Methodist editor and debater. The
preacher was speaking for giving equal
treatment in every way to the negro and,
to enforce his position, quoted these
words: "God hath made of one blood all
the nations of the earth.' That seemed
a settler for Mr.. Graves, who holds that
there is a world of difference between the
white man and the negro. When he came
to reply he scored a point by declaring
that the preacher was guilty of splicing
the Scripture to make a point" and he
told the people that DR.. Buckley had left
off these material words in his quotation:
