washington, June ia change
has made in the plan of the ad.
ADMINISTRATION for raising athe gMaineaIt
has been determined to. blow mp, the
hulk of the ~battleship which for
twelve years has been lying in 1.-The
harbor of Havana. -
The exC cssiVe~ cost OF repairing the
vessel and the, fear. of arousngr dis
quietirg questions about who sunk it
are responsible for the change CT plan.
May 9scong!ess passed & bill appro-
priating s la0, GG0for raisingtthe Maine

secretary of war to report to congress
at the next session "the best practical
method and the proba bic cost" Of car,
ryirg into eject the law of May 8
This is regarded as 8 limitation on the
original act. ID.
The: unofficial explanation at the
house of this change of programme is
that it would be unwise to reopen the
agitation Of whether the Maine, was
sunk by an internal or explosion explo.
sion. Already there has leen much
discussion of this subject, many prom.
inent legislators having declared itheir
convictions that the vessel was sunk
by an accident within the ship and not
from the outside, as the court of in
quiry found. -
BY raising and restoring the vessel
it might become quite apparent that
the explosion" was wholly from the in.
side, in which event some embarrass,
ing international complications might
arise. 7."
Information Is Conflicting. ..
Chairman James A. aTawney Of the
appropriation committeeahass been. ad.
vised that there are no bodies of sea-
men in the hulk. This is in conflict
with the information Of the navy de.
partment, because tine records show
that more than 100 bodies OF members
OF the crew have not been recovered.
1t has been assumed that'the were
locked in the wreck of the vessel.rAn-
other reason that prompted Chairman
Tawney to favor blowing up the hulk,
is the excessive cost of raising it.. He
has had information from the. war de
partment that this would probably
cost $1,O00.OOO. - ~
In fact there issserious d oubtt Wheths
er it is possible as an engineering feat
to raise the vessel. The army engi-
neers state that to do this cofferdani
fifty feet high must. be built. The
Maine lies II thirty-ive feet Of water,
with seventeen to twenty-five of mud.
1t is said that a cofferdam fifty feet
high has never been built in an open
water like Havana harbor Colonel
Edward Burr of the army engineers
has told Chairman TaWneyt that there
Is no precedent for feat of this sort
and it is an open question whether it
could be successfully done, working
under the disadvantage of tropical
climate and a long distance away
from the base of supplies.

In the meanwhile the S. B. Duncan
is entirely capable Of carrying on the
Vicksburg and Greenville trade for the
Morrissey line. Captain Morrissev
stated yesterday that he is very much
pleased with the S. B. Duncan and the
way she operates in the trade. As
compared with the Belle of the Bends.
the predecessor of the Duncan. the
latter only consumes about 500 boxes
of coal per week on her two trips to
Greenville, and the Belle averaged 400
or more boxes every week than the
Duncan. according to estimates that
have been carefully compiled and com
pared of the two boats. The Duncan
is an easy handler, and has already be
come very popular boat in the Green
vile trade.
Popular summer rate excursions on
the Morrissey line as well as between
Natchez and Vicksburg on the elegant
steamer Concordia, have become quite

When a Man Is DISCHARGED.

(sl. Pam Pioneer press.l

The Texas Supreme Court has rem.
Fdered a decision which is of much in.
terest to work:ngmen everywhere, al.
though some of the elements Of the
case are based on State laws and not
applicable in ether States. The deci.
Sion in$S brief is that corporation
must give an excuse for the discharge
Of an employe.
1t appears that a brakeman employ.
ed on a Texas railroad found that the
airbrakes We're not working properly.
His superior ordered him to go out
with train using the hand brakes.
1t was shown in evidence that the
hand brakes were in q defective con.
dition, that the track was defective
and dangerous, and that the operation
Of, the train by hand brakes would be
extra hazardous. The. brakeman re-
fused to serve and quit, the service of
the company. Several days later he
asked for his service letter, and was
notified that he had been discharged
for characterization. This amounted
practically to a blacklisting of the
brakeman. He sued and recovered
damages to the tune Of 81, 500.
The facts are, Of interest largely as
serving; notice on corporations that
the day Of blacklistihg is gone. The
provision Of the Texas law requiring
the employer to give a true statement
Of the reason for a discharge docs not
appear TO be unreasonable.
