Southern Senators Stand as One Man
About 1t.

Washington, May 8, Southern sena-
tors are not going to stand for any
rate bill that abolishes the "Jim Crow
car laws Of the south. This was made
very plain the other evening by Senator
Money who spoke on this feature Of the
bill. He said plainly that he would not
support any rate bill that would abol~
ish the "Jm Grow" laws of the
south. have talked with quite num-
Der Of southern senators in regard to
the matter, and they are all united on
this. They say that they will not sup
port the bill If it is designed as one Of
the objects TO do away with those laws
in the south which are deemed wise and
proper, and which have worked for the
benefit Of both races. 1t is pointed out,
though, that under the hiIl as framed,
the interstate commerce commission
will have no powoe to Interfere with
these laws.

ANCHORED AT OLONGAPo.
Location of the Great Floating Dry
Dock Dewey.

The floating dry dock Dewey, which
went half around the world on its voy-
age to the Philippine Islands, is now an
chored off Rivera Point, Olongapo naval
station. AT this place there is sixty-fve
feet of water, SO that all vessels which
may be sent into dock can reach it In
perfect safety The Dewey will be an
chored with four huge mushroom an
chors at each end, and as the tide rises
only about one foot at Olongapo there
is little danger of the huge structure
being moved. At present all materials
for repairing ships will have to be taken
from Cavite, as the Olongapo station has
not yet assumed such proportions as will
enable 1t to make all the repairs for the
ships. Even when the station Is en-
larged the floating dock will be reached
by lighters, but as they can come along
the front side and unload upon the
deck of the dock as upon wharf there
will be no more Inconvenience than in
supplying materials to a stationary dock.
