NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
Navy Department Forced to Abandon
Plans for a Mine ship.

Washington, May 2S.-The navy de-
partment has been obliged to aban-
don its plan to transform the cruiser
San Francisco into a mine ship be-
cause the change will involve the ex-
penditure of more than 100000 and
consequently would require a con-
grassioraI appropriation The San
Francisco is now at Norfolk. where
the work was to have been under
taken. The plan was to equip this
ship with plant capable of handling
rapidly and with reasonable safety
what are known as floating and sub
merged mines, such as were used with
great effect during the Russo-Jap-
anese war. A properly equipped mine
ship can place these elements OF coast
defense in any ordinary harbor in suf-
ficieut numbers to insure protection in
a course of a. day or two, whereas
nany days and even weeks would be
consumed by an ordinary vessel in the
accomplishment of the same amount
of work.
The conversion of the cruiser Bal
timore. now at New York. into min
ing ship is also temporarily suspended
for similar reasons.

In the old days every southern gen
tleman had his net for quail. The
drive was an event in the county. Our
youth of to-day may never enjoy such
sport In the proper season the neigh
bors were invited. All came on horse
back, for while quail will rise from
the approach of a dog or man, they
will run along the ground ahead of a
gentle horse. Much skill was required
to drive covey into the net AS many
as 30 horsemen would form a semi
circle and slowly, patiently, silently
make the roundup, all driving toward
the common center yet from one gen
eral direction only, and that always
against the wind The net had been
set facing the wind. An impatient
man on a fractions horse might des-
troy the work of half day by flush
ing entire coveys.
