as the food was concerned the men

grumble.

In their own supply of provisions at
their own expense. They may choose
what they wish without reference
to the provisions which the Bureau
OF Supplies and Accounts makes for
enlisted men. All of the food pro-
v1ded will be kept fresh by means of
cold storage. Water will be distilled
aboard ship. At the ports new sup
plies can be taken aboard, but the
orders of the Navy Department are
that the ships be provided without
reference to any stops they may make
The projected cruise has already
involved the purchase of nearly
quarter of million tons of coal, and
the charter of fleet of GOLFERS
which is numerically greater than
the battle-ship fleet itself. The mil
lions of dollars which the coal and
the Golfers cost can only be approx
mated, but they are many.
The cruise itself bids fair to be
one of absorbing interest, not only
to this country and to the nations
which will follow it's movements as it
makes it's way down the great dip
of sea hill which sweeps from the
Line to the Horn and up the lati-
tudes to the Line again, but it prom

the greatest ever assembled by any
nation, will be under the command
OF Rear-Admiral Evans. The incon-
gru1ty OF having SO vast force under
the command of an officer with no
higher rank than that of Rear-Admi-
raj is recognized most everywhere,
except in Congress. The creation
OF the rank of Vice-Admiral and the
bestowing of it upon Fighting
Bob" would, Of course, not increase
the competence of that distinguished
officer; but the rank would be more
fitting one for the commander-in-
chief of this mighty fleet.
Upon the junction of the fleets

'TWould, perhaps, be worth ten
years of peaceful life, one glance at
that array as, under the eyes of the
President, it moves out from Hamp-
ton Roads-sixteen superb battle
ships, with their attendant cortege
OF supply, hospital and repair ships.
The first stop will be at Trinidad,
where the fleet will renew it's coal
supply from the fleet of GOLFERS
which will be awaiting it's arrival
there. Then it will proceed to Rio,
where another supply Of coal will be
taken on board from another fleet of
waiting Golfers; and then begins the
long run to Punta Arenas-one of
the most dreary regions in the world,
tho jumping-off place-sinister as the
Pit itself. Coaling again from col
Tiers, the fleet will resume it's way,
taking passage through the Strait of
Magellan. It is expected to arrive
at Callao, its next stopping place, on
February Is, and at Magdalena Bay
on April 6. Here it will effect a
junction with the vessels of the Pa
cific feet. This is expected to COM
prise the six new and powerful ar
mored cruisers of the South Dakota
class; the Tennessee and Washington,
of later and even more powerful
type; the three big protected cruis-
ers, ST. Louis, Milwaukee and Chi
cago; the battle-ship Oregon, that

1t there ever was anything to make
the pebble sore and inclined to be
hard on the corporation if they could
get the power it is their disregard
OF the laws and order for their SUPER
vision. The same old matter Of rates
on Mississippi grown products Is the
cause of this article. Last week some
space was devoted to the duty Of in
forming the public as to the rates on
hay, corn, sweet potatoes, molasses
and field peas from any station in the
state to any other station. These
rates were ordered by the railroad
commission and agreed to by the rail
roads almost year ago and still they
are not in effect.
The matter was again brought to
the attention Of the writer this week
by a letter from J. B. Bridge, of
Buckatunna, who desired to ship some
Mississippi grown molasses to Tupelo
and the rate. charged him was 48 cents
per hundred instead of % cents as
ordered by the commission. The agent
at Buckatunna had never heard Of the
rate ordered by the commission and
charged Mr.. Bridge more than twice
the rate as it should have been. What
was Mr.. Bridge to do in the matter?
His customer wanted the syrup and
there was no way Of getting it to him
except to pay the rate demanded. But
some is ready to say that the amount
will be refunded him. That may be
so and it may not. The writer at
tempted to get refund on this same
rate for Mr.. MERCER of Centerville
some months ago and if the refund
has ever been made Mr.. Bercier has
not said so. Yes, it may be refunded,
but too late to be of service to the
present generation.
The people Of Mississippi are as
fair as can me found in the world
and only ask for the corporations the
same treatment they would expect for
an individual, and they have a right
to expect that. Here are rates thai
have been in force for nearly a year
and still the people are being charged
twice what they should be and have
to pay 1t without recourse. They can't
afford to pay high-priced lawyers and
go to the trouble and expense of court
to collect overcharges
that In each individual instance may
be small, but in the aggregate it
to thousands to the railroads
in the course of year.
