BERLIN, November 4.-Apparently the
German government will be able to reckon
on an easy passage for the new naval pro-
posals, which are certain to form the lead
ing feature of the forthcoming session OF
the reichstag. DR.. SPAIN has committed
the center. which forms the great bulk OF
the opposition to a considerable eXpan-
sion of the fleet, beyond the bounds laid
down by the existing naval acts. The rad
icals have also shown themselves well dis
posed toward an increase of expenditure
in this direction. and now the annual con-
ference of the national liberals. who are,
of course, always to be counted on In
service matters. has given a vigorous push
to the agitation for more ships. which has
been gradually gathering momentum ever
since the general election. The resolution,
adopted unanimously by the gathering.
was as follows:
The annual general conference of the
national liberal party expects from the
national liberal faction in the reichstag
that in future, In the past it will adj
vocate the necessary strengthening and
further development of our fleet. and the
utmost practicable aCceleration of the
same The conference in particular con-
siders it absolutely necessary that our
new vessels should be a. least equal
to those of other states in size. armament
and speed. and that the age limit of bat
t!eships should be reduced"
The parliamentary leader, Herr Basser-
mann. in introducing the resolution, said
that the elections had greatly strengthen
ed the prestige of Germany in the world
and had destroyed for all time the doubts
of other nations as to whether Germany
could stand fast against the assaults of
interna tional socialism. The German peo-
pie had shown that in national questions
it would stand no joking. He was con-
WINGED that the elections had served thu
cause of peace The world had seen that
the German people was not to be trifled
with, and that in national matters II

Of this fact had done more for peace than
the entire Hague conference. They could
r~tain the electors who on that occa-
sion had thrown themselves on their side
and decided the election if they followed
a sensible policy. To a sensible policy

TO SHOOT KING EDWARD
Fellow Providing Through Park Ar
rested On Suspicion.

ENSOCu oH Suspicion.
Newmarket, England, Oct. 60
The police here today arrested a man
suspected of having designs on the
life of King Edward or the Prince of
Wales. The prisoner, who was a
member of the Bechuanaland (South
Africa) police named J. H. Pearse,
was found wandering in Chippenham
park, where the king had been shoot
ing this week, and in which the prince
is going to shoot on Monday. Pearse,
when taken into custody, said he in
tended to "shoot the boss who was
shooting here" After a preliminary
examination in the police court he
was remanded for further i Inquiries
regarding his past life. 1t appears
that he participated in the Jameson
raid into the Transvaal, and is labor
ing under the impression that he has
a grievance against King Edward. His
Majesty left Newmarket yesterday
and returned to London.

A Visit From DIR. SIedd.

The friends of DR.. Andrew Sledd,
have just enjoyed a delightful visit
from him, extending from Saturday
evening until today noon. Yesterday
he preached two highly interesting
and instructive sermons at the Metho-
dist church, which were pronounced
by those who have known him best as
very superior efforts. This morning
he together with some other friends
paid our high school a visit, and the
Doctor made a short but very appro-
pirate address to part of the stud
ent body. After which he passed
through all of the rooms of the build
ing, viewing the entire school, It
will be very gratifying to all to know
that he spoke in the highest terms of
Professor Edwards and his manage,
ment of our school, after having look
ed over the institution. He walked
about the business portion of town,
and expressed much surprise at the
since his last visit here
The Doctor gives a very encourag-
ing report of our State University,
and the start it is making in it's new
home. He says they are at present
handicapped to some extent for the
want of some new buildings, that will
be erected later The enrolment is
very gratifying, and the general out
look is about all that could be desired
or expected at this time.
DR.. Sledd is a most excellent gentle
man, whose integrity is unquestion-
ed, and a man of profound scholar
ship. He is eminently fitted for the
position he holds in our first State
institution of learning. and we are
glad to know that he is bending his
energies to make it an institution of
such merit that it will not appear
necessary to any Floridian to go away
from home for educational advant-
ages that can be found within the
borders of his own State We trust
he will have, as far as possible, the
hearty sympathy and cooperation OF
every good citizen in the State in his
effort to make our University one of
the first among all of our Southern
schools.

Letter to G.. POtsdamer,
Live Oak, Fla.

Dear Sir: Here's a tale with point
to it. Florida is the hardest state in
the Union for paint.
Gilmore & Davis Co, Tallahassee,
Florida, think they know what paint
can do in their climate; they've been
painting for 35 years, Devoe ten
years; and they say Devoe wears 10
years-their words are: Buildings
we painted Devoe 10 years ago are
in good condition of paint today"
The yalso say lead-and-oil wears
only one year there; Devoe 10 years!
Ten years is a long lifetime for
paint in Florida; longer than 20 in
Maine. We don't dare say that either
is true as a general fact in those
States; but there are such instances.
If we should call the cost of Devoe
in Florida half of the usual cost Of
paint, it would be too much; we sup
pose it's about one-third; there is so
much trash there-the costliest paint
is the worst, and the worst is the
costliest everywhere.
Truly yours,
SO f. w. DEVOE & CO.,
p S. Suwannee Hardware Co. sell
