At Key West the terminal facilities
will be OH a large scale, constructed with
the same thoroughness that characterizes
ali of Mr.. Flagler's undertakings. He has
planned ten covered piers, each 500 feet
in length and 100 feet in width, with ba-
sins furnishing berths for forty vessels at
one time, drawing thirty feet of water.
The pier will be equipped with the most
improved hoistlng machinery and other
facilities for handling freight. because
Mr. Flagler desires to make Key West
the most important railway terminal on
the gulf of Mexico when the Panama
canal is finished. He intends that it
shall compete with Galveston and New
Orleans and be the entrepot of lines of
steamers from all parts of the globe, and
particularly from South America. While
his plans have NOT yet been developed.
he has often contemplated establishing q
line of freghters to the isthmus from
Key West. touching at Cuban and Jamai-
can ports.
1t is just 80 miles from Key West to
Havana across very turbulent strait.
In which the two tides from the gulf and
the Atlantic meet and produce rough
sea like that of the English channel Mr..
Flasler proposes TO send solid trains from
New York to Havana and carry them
across the straits ON big transports like
those used by the Pennsylvania railroad
for its through Boston service. Passen-
gers can go to bed In the ears before 1eav-
ing Key West and wake up in Havana

AS I have already stated. tho Southern
has carried more than 5000 laborers from
New York and Philadelphia to work on
this road, and an enormous quantity Of
material. It is estimated that the con-
crete visdicts will require 4s10 tons of
steel and 100000 barrels Of cement.

RUMORED CHANGES

Force Except Chief
4 RIGID EXAMINATION
Understood That Several Members Of
Force viii Be Dropped When
Election Occurs in May.
Elects Wardens.

With The exception Of the chief all the
members of the Birmingham police force
are to be elected early in May TO serve
i for twelve months. The chief of police
is nominated by the people every two
years and chief N-icr has over year
yet TO serve as the head of the depart
ment.
There are in all about sixty-fiye men
to be elected by the police commission and
it is said some surprises are liable to be
sprung When the result of the election
is announced. It is usually the custom Of
the commission to elect the members Of
the department one at time COM

then the Two lieutenants, the desk SER

by that body annually. The judge OF the

II is said thai number of patromen
some of whom have been connected with
the department for many years. are slated
TO go for one reason or another. The po-
lice commission went on record some time
ago as being strongly opposed to the
IL, J,.;t,
ing men. and it is said that If any such
be found they will lose their positions
in May.
During the past two years, data at the
office of the chief of police shows that
a total OF fftv-seven men have been en-
ployed and hive left the department. In
other words that fifty-seven changes have
been made in the department during the
past two years This is considered an
exceptionally large number. Those who
are in a position to observe carefully say
that If a man remains on the police
force for two years he is likely to re-
main for a humber Of years, because OF
his good record.
Regarding Examinations.
quire a more thorough physical and mem
tai examination of all applicants for po-
| stions on the police force At present
| the police commission requires all appli-
eants for appointment on the force to
4 file certificate from some reputable ply
sican to the effect that the candidate is
sound physically.
! Before the commission holds its an

/ probably disposed of the matter of al

] twelve, for the police department, which
! question is being agitated. If this is al
1 lowed the matter of creating the office of
another captain and a third lieutenant and
