FORTIFICATIONS BILL.
Representative Graft Resents General
Keifer's DEMONSTRATING"

Representative Graft of Illinois in dis
cussing the Notifications appropria ton bill
today in the House took the position that
the bin is a fair measure as contemplated
by the Endicott board and that the criti-
cisln made by Representative Keifer of
Ohio. on what he chose to call the cheese
pairing policy of the appropriations commit
tee." was not will founded. Mr.. Graft said
there did not appear in the hearings any
adequate reason for the appropriation of
81 900. 600 for the construction Of an is
land at the mouth OF the Chesapeake bay
between Cape Charles and Cape Henry.
Mr.. Graf said that the policy adopted
by the committee. as we'll as by the War
Department, was policy beyond crit
icism. and that it would be found that the
Notifications of the Hawaiian and Philip
pine Islands would be accomplished in
ample time to meet any foe
Il have no fear he said, that we will
not complete our Notifications in the
continental United States away ahead of
any war; and IL we should be threatened a
few months hence the world would find
the United States the best fortified nation
on the globe"

Not the Kind He Wanted.
From the Youths Companion.

Protested politicians who have reduced
public office to an exact science find the
Independent voter a sad stumbling block
a fact which is amusingly disclosed by a
story found in the recent life OF the late
George Monro Grant, the eminent Canadian
educator and clergyman. Toward the end
of Sir John Macdonald's life he and Princi-
pal Grant. then the head of Queens Col
lege, met at dinner at the house OF the
premier's brother-in-law, Prof. Williamson
How I WISH" the premier said to the
principal. that you would be a steady
friend of mine
MY dear Sir JOHN the principal re-
piled. Il have always supported you when
you were right
The premier's eyes twinkled. and he laid
his hand upon the shoulder OF the principal

A MEMORIAL
Calling on Congress to Do Justice to
Colored Citizens.

Representative Bennett of New York.
while the House had under consideration the
Notifications appropriation bill. today pre-
scented a memorial unanimously adopted at
a mass meeting Of citizens held at Cooper
Union. New York. on January 8. The me-
mortal reads: I'VE call upon Congress and
upon all Americans to accord to the colored
people Of this country not only the rights
but the respect due to worthy American cit
liens, to the end that the United States SOL
diers shall neither be insulted nor discrim-
mated against because of their color and
that because of color the right to vote shall
not in practice be anywhere denied.
I'VE appeal to the American people for
justice and fair play and for protection
from the ignorant and malicious writer's and
speakers who stimulate race hatred or seek
to force the cOlored people into peasantry
or disfranchised servtors."
The memorial calls upon Congress to
cause an impartial tribunal to hear and de-
termine the assertions in the Presidents
message made against soldiers of the 25th
Infantry.

COAL TRAINS TIED UP
FIFTEEN HUNDRED CARS KEPT
AT ST. PAUL FOR WEEKS.

Interesting information on the car short
age situation was developed today before
the House committee on intersta and for
eign commerce. A committee appointed by
the national reciprocal demurrage conven-
ton. recently held at Chicago made appli-
cation to be heard in behalf of legisla ton
to correct the existing condition Members
Of the committee stated there were now
800 loaded with coal destined for the
northwest tied up at st. Paul, which had
been there for three weeks. The cause
was stated to be red tape and technicali-
ties of the roads,
It was further explained that coal ship
ped from the mines in West Virginia to the
west in coal cars was not allowed to go
beyond the Mississippi river in those cars;
that when cars for reshipment were asked
for in Chicago, neither coal cars-nor box
cars could be obtained.
No Formal Complaint.
Representative Mann of Illinois asked If
any formal complaint had been made of
this condition to the interstate commerce
commission, and he was told none had been.
Representative Townsend of Michigan
said he had talked with members of the
commission who had indica ted that the sub
ject was being considered by it with view
of arriving at conclusion as to whether
action could be taken without additional
legislation.
Representative Gaines of West Virginia
explained that the coal-carrying roads of
his state were compelled to place limit
on the distance their coal could be allowed
to go; otherwise they would be entirely
without cars.
He suggested that the fault might lie in
the low tax now assessed by one road upon
another for the use Of its cars. 1t was
more profitable for a road to pay this as
sesssment and use the cars of another road
than to return the cars. Should this tax be
increased he believes relief might be OBJ
tanned.

LET US HOPE NOT.

There is much newspaper and IN
eral talk going on just now about the
war of-well-the war that ended, so
as far as the South is concerned, at APP
pomattOX.
In framing a service pension bill the
Senate sidestepped into autocracy by
saying what the war of 166I-65 should
be called. And the Senate expects the
House and all the rest of mankind to
accept it's decision. In it's own way it
is as autOcratic as the President, and
sometimes it is much more unreason-
able.
In the matter of naming the war of
1861-65 the Senate, was, however, cor
rect, except perhaps in the way it did
it. That war had been called ''the
war of the rebellion in official rec
ords, and the substitution of "the civil
war; is certainly a better phrase. The
Senate's phraseology is at any rate
| better than the Presidents simplified
spelling.
True, the word rebellion is imbedded

grew out of the war, but men in those
days did not think the matter over
clearly and calmly. They did not stop
to think that the south fought because
it thought it had a right to secede at
any time and on short notice. It fought,
in other words, for a supposedly legal
right, and they we're not in rebellion
to unquestioned legal authority.
But the House will doubtless pass
the service pension bill, and hen there
will be imbedded in the federal statutes
sections that mention the 1S61-65 war
as "the civil war;" and the supposition
then will be that we never had but one
civil war;, and do not expect to see
another one. Let us hope we will not
see one like that of 1861-65.

The S0UTH'S RESOURCES.

Will the limit of the South's re-
sources ever be fathomed?
Will the variety of its ever
be numbered?
Will it's possibilities ever be ex-
hausted or fully comprehended?
In mineral resources alone the South
is but on the lintels of its development
in this regard.
Writing in the current issue of the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record, Mr..
Joseph Hyde Pratt, says, that there
are certain minerals being mined at the
present time in the different Southern
States which are well known and are
being mined on a large scale. There
are also certain minerals that are found
in larger quantity and mined more ex-
tensively in the Southern States than
in any part of the country. Thus, for
instance, North Carolina produces
nearly all of the mica that is mined in
the United States. North Carolina and
South Carolina furnish all the mona
ute that is mined in this country.
South Carolina is at the present time
the only tin-producing State. North
North Carolina and South Carolina are
producing the finest grade OF kaolin,
for which there is a very large and I'M
supplied demand by the Trenton IN.
j. and East Liverpool (Ohio) potteries.
Virginia produces by far the larger
mount of manganese and pyrite that
is being mined in the United States.
Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas spro-
duce all of the bauxite that is mined in
this country, and which is used in the
manufacture Of the metal aluminium
and artificial corundum. Virginia and
Georgia are producing the bulk Of the
asbestos that is mined in this country.
Tennessee, South Carolina and Florida
furnish all the phosphate rock obtained
in this country.
"Perhaps two of the most promising
and profitable openings in connection
with the development Of the mineral
resources in the South are those relating
to building stones and clay products.
There is a very large field in connection
Will bOIA Vi lhCoO
which offer very large returns for the
amount Of capital invested.
"In planning the exhibits at the
Jamestown Exposition the department
Of mines and m~etallurgy has decided to
attempt to secure a more adequate rep
resentation of the different phases of
the American cement industry than
has been possible at previous exposi-
tons. With this end in view Edwin G.
Eckel, h cement expert Of the United
States GeologicalSurvey was appointed
commissioner in charge Of cement ex-
hibits.
ga considerable portion of the space
allotted to this industry has already
been taken by cement manufacturers
and makers of concrete blocks" .

rs Offers An Amendment

Bills.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 30.-SenatOr
Simmons has offered a proposed amend

propriating $3.50, 900 to deepen the chan
mel connecting Albemarle sound and
Beaufort inlet. This is the third sec
ton of the proposed inland waterway,

a&de.
The project is not provided for in the

to the House.
North Carolina members are dissatis
fed with the allowance made for the
projects in the state. They assert thai
North Carolina gets less han Tennes-

LUCKY TIGER.

As might have been expected, the final decision of the Mexican court of highest resort, in giving the Lucky Tiger to the Kansas City people, met with the endorsement of a vast ma jority of those acquainted with the history of the property and the case, and immediately strengthened immen- s"ly the confidence Of the mining and investing public in the unfailing in- tegrity of the laws and the measure of justice to be dealt out in the great realm to the south of us. Great ac- tivity was at once discOverable and the transfer business at Yzabel has been correspondingly stimulated.
 Scores of mining men and prospec- tors who hesitated during the long period of perplcxing litigation, are nnow pouring into the district which seems to be taking on new life as the summer progresses.

cess, at the mine operated by elec- tric power generated at the Yaqui riv- CT only eight miles away.
 The success of the Black Mountain mine out from Magdalena. where the ore body is no more extensive. the val ues not so high and the character of of the ore less favorable for such ops erations. has doubtless set the Monte Visto people to considering the matter seriously Inn that case the electric fly is transmitted 2S miles without a relay station and the enterprise has been eminently successful. In the case of the Monte Yisto, the Yaqui furnish es abundant power for the generating of the fluid only eight miles away, rendering the solution of the problem of reduction comparatively easy. No activity exists in this district outside the Monte Visto itself, though there is some talk of the Sonora Development company going to work on its exten- sive holdings in the same locality. pr. G. Lenox Curtis and John w. Amerman, the latter secretary of the company, are expected in Douglas soon, when this pleasant rumor may take on solid form.
