Representative Williams Gives Some
INTERESTING Historical Data.

In recent convention Representative
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi gave
some interesting historical incidents OF
warships which have borne the name or
thai state.
Zone of the ships engaged in the block
ade of the Mexican coast during the Mexi-
can war. under the command OF Capt. Con-
nor,'' said Mr.. Williams, was named The
Mississippi She was afterward under the
special command of Capt. Forest, with the
fleet that secured the neutrality of Yucatan
and captured the Mexican fiotilla at To-
basco. It was the name of the American
ba ttleship which flew Admiral Farraguts
pennant when he broke through the OBJ
structions from the mouth OF the Missis-
sippi to New Orleans on the expedition
which led to the separation of the els
Mississippi from the trans Mississippi con-
federacy. 1t was the name Of a confed-
crate cruiser, then being built for Admiral
Stnmes. and rot yet quite completed.
which was taken by the federal forces
when they captured New Orleans, and
which. If completed, might have taken the
place which the confederate cruiser Ala
bama subsequently took in the history or
the naval affairs Of the world. 1t was the
name of the battleship OF Admiral Perry
when, in 1852 by the wise exhibition of u
big stick, he procured from the old Japa-
nese government the conditions under
which Japan. that rejuvenated giant of the
twentieth. century. opened Its ports to the
commerce of the Bnired States and. as
result, to the commerce and fellowship of
the world. 1t may be said. therefore, to
have BEEN in a way. the opening wedge
whereby the trunk OF old preJudfces and
Chauvinistic isolation in Japan was split
and destroyed From its guns, belched the
seed which, when grown to fr1litage, has
developed into the present empire OF
Japan the most stupendous exhibition of
the rebirth and rapid growth to national
manhood of people, which the world has
ever witnessed.
1T was upon the same ship. Mississippi.
that Captain Perry afterwards visited
Halifax, and Cape Breton, on account of
the seizure of Our fishing vessels by Brit
ish cruisers. The result of that visit was
the reciprocity treaty with Canady in
1854. And last, but by no means least. in
my estimation, 1t Is the name of a state
second in the union to none-a state whose
great men have illustrated the virtues of
American citizenship on the bench, In the
cabinet and in legislative halls; state
whose men have illustrated the virtues and
greatness IN life-renderIng OF American sol-
derry on the field. May the good ship
Mississippi. when she ID commissioned. go
forth in herself an object lesson to the
world of the excellence Of American naval

CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION.
One Reason Why the Panama Canal
Is Being Built,

Panama and the canal Is to occupy the
center Of the stage as soon as the decks
are cleared of the rate bill wreckage Work
has been progressing for some time with a
view of bringing that subject before the
senate. for 1t seems to be the opinion
among senators that 1t will be necessary to
determine upon the type Of the canal before
very much can be done in canal construc-
ton. 1t is a pretty good guess that the
lock canal proposition will win after the
matter has been thoroughly discussed, al
though much has been said and will be said
in favor of the sea-level project. The best
argument in favor of the lock proposition
is that 1t will cost less and be completed
much sooner than the sea-level canal 1t Is
rather strange SO many wild guesses are
made as to the cost of the canal They
range from the original estimate of $780,
100000 up to $500, 600 600 and even to 81, 600.
100000. When the canal bill gets before
the Senate there is sure to be a great deal
of interesting discussion of the expenses Of
the big ditch.
The canal legislation following SO close
upon the railroad rate legislation, recalls
the fact that one reason why we are build
ing the canal is because of the demand for
cheaper transportation. For years there
was a great deal of doubt expressed as to
the wisdom Of the undertaking by the
United States, and many men voted for the
canal with misgtvings. Some voted for it,
saying that they did not believe in 1t, that
they felt sure it would be of no value to the
country, but that 1t was easier to vote that
way than TO explain to their constituents
why they were opposed to It. This may not
be a very high order OF patriotism, but
there had been created In this country such
a demand for canal that opponents Of the
scheme were denounced as railroad hire
lings or corporation tools. One man In the
Senate who has been held up by 1.-The man
with the muck rake as a corporation rep
resentadive, speaking of the canal before 1t
was authorized. said that the railroads had
forced the canal by their high freight
charges. He said that the railroads were to
blame for the canal agitation, and that II
they had acted right there would have been
an opportunity to point out mat the canal
would be very expensive luxury and would
be of little use to the country. But here
we are building canal and at the same
time regulating railroad rates. We are vot-
ing vast sums for canal construction and
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to fix rates. If the transcon-
tinental rates are too high they can be re-
duced. Long before the canal Is a competi-
tor the commission will have the rates reg
ulated and adjusted to a reasonable basis.

st am satisfied" said Cocks. that the
intelligent farmers of the country, the men
who really go to make up the great mass
of the farming community, are entirely OPP
posed to the free distribution of these CONS
mon garden Seeds
Well" remarked Livingston of Georgia.
that is where the gentleman is badly mis-
taken-just as badly as he ever was in
anything in his life.'
And 1 want to say remarked Cocks q
moment later. IT am very sorry the farmers
have not been here to see the Solicitude OF
their friends for them. 1t might be that
they could gather from the Record some or
the mystery of their meaning, but not the
'awfulness Of their mien in discussing this
subject"
..Does the gentleman think" asked Mann.
"that there will be any failure on the part
of the farmers to learn about the solisitude
of the members for them here?
II think not. replied Cocks. L think
every man will have his speech duly sent
out"
Cocks read a large number of letters
from men who said they did not want Seeds.
which caused Gaines to ask:
Have you any letters from the laboring
man who goes out with a grubbing hoe and
works in the soil instead Of working in the

Toward the close of the debate Sims Of
Tennessee went after the republicans who
opposed seed distribution constitutional
grounds. saying.
why. we vote money out OF the treasury
for almost every object under the heavens,
Constitution or no Constitution. and when
ever the constitutional lawyers Of the ether

Floral Scarf Worn in Paris.
From the London Tribune.

From the LONDON IrIbune.
The new floral scarf-Iong and supple as
q length of softest Grape or chfffon-is the
novelty OF the hour in Paris. These charm
Ing items of feminine attire are becoming
very popular with theatergoers. and, writes
a French correspondent, I have seen really
lovely specimens made Of pure white violets
and of tiny dog roses.
At the opera one night last week I saw
the still popular marabout combined with
small flowers in a scarf. and the effect was
excellent. There were three straight lines
OF palest gray marabout with long lengths
of heliotropes between and the flowers were
arranged In such q skillful manner that
they were quite supple and the harmony OF
color was charming
