manner Of breeding farm animals.
There have been valuable strains
of corn, wheat, and other cereals
produced that were in course of dis
tribution TO special eXperimcnters
and that were tending to largely
increase these particular crops. The
Department also had produced very
valuable strains of long staple up
land cotton. There were many
foreign seeds, drought-resisting va.
rieties Of al alta, and the like all of
which were being put to excellent
use. 1t is not believed that any of
these strains were completely wiped
out but the work was given a Sc

An interesting report has been
issued by the Navy Department
showing that the United States now
stands second among the Naval
Powers Of the world in actual tom
mage of warships. Its nearest COM
petitor is France, and the leader of
the list is Great Britain. A year
ago France was a little ahead of
the United States, but at present
the tonnage of American warships
is Gil, I,6I9 and that of France, Co.,
o79. France will be ahead of us
again in another year for her build
ing program con:emplates the con-
pletion of warships amounting to
S36,II2 tons, while at the same pc
riod the United States will have
only 77I,75S tons This does not
include transports, colliers and re-
pair ships, or convertible mer-
chantmen under 1000 tons, but
does include torpedo boats, subma-
rines and destroyers. Great Britain
on the other hand has the present
enormous tonnage Of I,633,II6.
This is owing to her traditional
policy of the two power Standard"
This means simply that she insists
on keeping her naval strength up
to that of her two nearest competi-
tors. At present it will be seen
that it is considerably in advance.
Great Britain intends to keep it so,
and no matter what building pro-
grams other countries may adopt
she will always insist on laying
down two ships for one.
*+*
For the first time in the history
of the country West Point is find
ing difficulty in keeping up its ca
Diet corps to the maximum strength.
This was announced in a report
just made by the superintendent of
the Academy to the War Depart
ment. There are now 72 vacancies
in the corps. During the past year
several of the cadets have resigned
to accept positions in civil life.
There has been even larger re-
tirement of officers from the active
list for the same reason. This,
coming with the difficulty in re-
cruiting the enlisted strength,
makes the outlook for the army
not at all encouraging. 1t proba-
bly, will have the effect of Fastening
action on the increased army pay
bills to be presented at the next
session of Congress.

The paper, President Gompers said,
purported to have been signed Whep

paper, Mr.. Gompers said, he had pre-

prevailed in the convention, Presi-

Mr.. Gompers, during his recital OF
the alleged attempt at bribery, call

who were with him at the time Of
interviews with Bredenburg, to verify
his statements. This the delegations
did, rising in their seats. At the close

DEATH OF JUDGE CRAWFORD.

Distinguished Lawyer and Jurist Dies
IN Columbia Circuit Court While
Examining a witness-Was So
Years oold.
Columbia, Special.-This communi-
ty was profoundly shocked by the
sudden death of Judge Andrew Craw-
ford, the most eloquent member OF
the Richland bar, who succumbed to
an attack of apoplexy while examin-
ing witness in the Circuit Court. He
expired in the solicitors room just
behind the judges stand, within
seven minutes after he suffered the
stroke and just as his physician, DIR.
James II. Mcintosh, was reaching
him..
The distinguished lawyer was
about SO years old at the time of
his death, but he was in excellent
health for man Of his years, and
in the morning seemed particularly
alert. Only a few days ago he re-
marked to friend how well he
was feeling, how he always so much
more enjoyed life in the fall. He
was under no particular strain when
he was stricken in the court room.
The case he was engaged in was a
small damage suit case of. Mrs. Mo-
rant against the City of Columbia on
account of her property being over
flowed. He excused himself to his
fellow attorney on the other side,
Col. J. Allen Green, and to the pre-
siding judge, Col. George Johnstone,
and passing by the clerks desk,
said in his usual gracious manner
and with smile, that he would be
out just a moment. To Sheriff Cole
man, who conducted him to a
lounge in the solicitors room, he
said he had had little trouble with
his stomach the night before, but
that he expected to get relief as soon
as some lithia tablets he Lad sent
out for arrived. In minute or so,
however, he complained of his
heart, said it did not seem to be
working right, and asked that the
doctor be sent for. Just as the
physician started into the building
Judge Crawford crumpled over to
one side, gasped and was gone.
Judge Crawford was among the
best Of South Cardinals lawyers.
Perhaps the most celebrated case he
was in was that against ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor James 81. y Tillman,
sat Lexington, for the murder Of
Ed ittor N; Gonzales, when he as
sssed Soliciito q Thurmond in the
g fss Vt the SOC 5of
Daniel Nc lin Crawford, na-
tive of ireland. He was a graduate
Of the law school of the University
Of Virginia, and served the Con-
federacyS during the latter part Of
the war in Col. Artemus Goodwyn's
regiment.
