is up to the other two inspectors to

For some time there has been a
fight going on in the Legislature for
more planting shore-for renting
depleted rocks. The facts and
figures given from time to time and
the testimony of witnesses who have
appeared before the Committee on
the Chesapeake and It's Tributaries
show plainly enough that the tonger
onght to be protected; because, he is
paying more revenue than the
planter.
The reports from the county clerks
as to the number Of acres Of planting
shore on record in their offices and
the reports of the inspectors to the
Board of Fisheries show a marked
discrepancy. In fact the deficiency
of collections is so great that we are
surprised that the Board accepted
them. According to the statements
OF the county clerks not all plats
are on record, some writing they
could not make satisfactory report
on that account. But from the com
parlson of these reports and the re-
port OF the Board of Fisheries, the
fact develops that about 1-5 of the
tar on planting shore and planted
oysters due the State for the past
year was turned into the States
Treasury by its inspectors.
In az interview with Mr.. seear,
the inspector of this district, he said,
II have no doubt that there is a
deficiency in collections. The in
spectors are not doing their duty,
but the blame lies not at my door.
My books are open for Inspection -

1t may be seen, therefore, that q
battle fought at 6:15 a. m. Tuesday
in the Orient would be going on
when it was 4 p. m. Monday here,
and the news of what happened at
6:l5 a. M. Tuesday in the Orient
might appear in an extra here before
midnight Monday, allowing six hours
for the transmission of the news.
As matter of fact, the difficulties
that have to be overcome in sending
dispatches from the scene of war and
the distances from the actual loca-
tions of fighting to the nearest tele-
graph or cable office, makes it gener-
ally certain that no news will appear
here before the hour in which, in
Eastern time, it taxes place.
The most direct news thus far has
come from Ohee Foo, about 100 miles
from Port Arthur.

Asbestos Used for Everything.

Asbestos as q manufactured com-
modify is now controlled by the
FStandard Oil Company. That cor
poration has contracted for the en-
tire output of the Ontario asbestos
mines, from which comes all except
small per cent. of the asbestos of
the world.
The plan is to make the asbestos
industry proportionately as vast and
wholly as monopolistic as the steel
or the coal oil industries. Asbestos,
in Rockefeller's mind, is to be a ma
terisl employed for q hundred new
purposes. Railroad coaches are to
be built from it, tunnels are to be
lined with it, and fireproof furniture
is to made from it.
The corporation has already begun
the building of asbestos cara for the
underground system in New York.
The Franklin Manufacturing Com.
pany, Of Pennsylvania, bought by
the Standard Oil Company at time
it intended to dominate the paper
trade, has been turned into an as
bestos manufactory.

FIRST ToRPEDOEs MADE HERE

plished for Many Years Since.

The wonderful achievements of
Japan, with her ironclad rams and
torpedoes should be specially interest
ing to us because of the fact that
these mighty engines of modern war,
as successful appliances had their
origin in Virginia, were designed in
Richmond and were first successfully
used in the waters of James river.
With them continually developed and
improved by the fertile brain of her
many clever officers, aud by them
operated with daring and self sac,
ritice never equslled, the Confederate
navy totally revolutionized naval
warfare, and, though barren of re-
sources, OF shops, machinery and e1
perienced mechanics, fully to avail
Of the many improvements and in
ventions they made, yet with her
novel system of torpedoes accom-
plished more in her several years
than with all the great advancement
of scientific knowledge, improve
ments in mechanical construction
and familiarity with electrical force
during subsequent years, other
nations have been able since to do.
In 1866 the Secretary of the United
States navy reported to Congress
that the navy had lost more ships
during the war from Confederate
torpedoes than from oil other causes
combined. Scharf's History of the
Confederate States Navy gives an in
complete list of forty, showing that
at one time ten were destroyed in less
than three weeks, aud General Rains,
chief of the army torpedo department,
says that the total number was fifty
eight, number far in excess of what
all other nations combined, with all
their modern improvements and ap-
pliances, have effected, during the
forty years since passed.

His life work, however, was devoted to
their interests. This work was the
