.3,OO7 MILES OF SEA

Equals More Than Half the
Coast Line of This
Country.

The South has more than one-half
, of the coast line of the country. It's
strategic geographical location with
reference to foreign commerce and
coastwide trade. and the 3.007 miles
of ocean and gulf coast, give to the
South a commanding position unlike
that Possessed by any other section
of the country.
Most of the important rivers drain

The Mississippi itself and its tribu-
taries drain the richest valley in the
world, stretching from the Allegha-
MES to the Rocky mountains, and
from Canada to the gulf. James ].
Hill was once quoted as saying that
II barrel of flour was kicked over
at Minneapolis II would roll downhlll
to some gulf port. 1t is a downhill
haul from the mountain regions, as
we'll as from the lake country, to
southern ports.
The influences which in early days
turned the foreign commerce of the
country to eastern ports have ceased
to dominate the situation, and nat
ural laws, backed by the vast capital

Ample in number, splendidly To-
Gated, with sufficient depth of water

commerce, however large it may be,
these Southern ports are to be great

BATTLESHIP OREGON TO
OPEN THE PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. u.-Argulng
that the sentiment of history requires
that the battleship Oregon, whose
famous trip around the Horn during
the Spanish-American War may be
said to have caused the Panama
Canal to be built, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels has determined that
this ship shall be the one to open
that great project to the world,
So it is that the Oregon is now
being modernized at a cost of $1,000
900 in the Rnget Sound navy yard.
She is being fitted with every con-
venience and improvement, including
a new military mast and a system
of fire control, a wireless telegraph
outfit and a number of improved la
Dor saving devices. She WILL when
she goes through the canal, still look
pretty much as she did in 1898, with
her low freeboard, but inside she will
be as new a ship as the giant super
Dreadnaught, New York. whose kee,

JOHN L. O'TOOLE GIVES
HOLY NAME CODE VALUE

MORRIS PLAINS, N. J., Aug. H.
John L. O'Toole of Newark
the president of the Newark Diocesan
Federation of Holy Name Societies,
was the principal speaker at the meet
ing of the Holy Name Society of st.
VirgiPs Church, last night.
THE Value of the Holy Name So
cieties to the Community and the In
dividual," was the theme of Mr..
O'Toole's address. The speaker point
ed cut that the Holy Name Society is
an organization which imposes the
obligation upon its members to live
up to the laws of the land and the
divine laws. A code of that kind,
Mr. O'Toole continued, tends toward
the uplifting of the morals and the
raising of the standard of citizenship.
The Importance of such a beneficent
leaven spreading throughout the com
munity may be estimated in its true
value, the speaker stated, when the
fact Is considered that the morals of
community as a whole are no better
than the morals of the individuals
which make up that community by
improving the source" Mr.. O'Toole
said, you improve the fountain
springing therefrom.'

On petition of David Booker, repre-

Judge John Rellstab, of Trenton, has

Last year the ladies wore prettily
trir- med hats. This year they stick
thugs on their hea', that come over

That's the opinion of the milliners
generally throughout the city. The
consumer is wearing the hats with
but very little change just as they
come from the wholesalers, and the
milliners lost the profits generally
derived from trimming.
The appointment of a receiver for
Silverman is involuntary. He says
that he could meet his obligations If

He has not been adjudged a bank

FEAR REVOLUTION
IN |TALY'S STRIKE

Assumes Alarming Propor-

MILAN, Italy, Aug. ia general

mems organizations here.
Leaders of the strike movement ara
preaching revolution. One of the men
said today: 1--WE do not wish to fol-
low the example of America, where
certain strikes have lasted as Ions
as eighteen months because the
strikers received wages from the
unions, but ended in moral and finan-
cial disaster. Here the strikers not
only seek economic advantages, but
also aim at overturning the present
basis of the capitalistic oligarehy.
"Our strike must therefore become
a kind of national earthquake, over
throwing the social organization
which rests on the exploitation of
the workers for private advantage"
The strikers and the troops man.
euvered all day today to outwit each
other. Every gathering of strikers
was promptly attacked and dispersed
by the troops, although there was
considerable stohe-throwing and
much persistent singing of anarchist
songs.
The manifesto urges all workmen's
unions to take immediate action and
to carry on the strike to the bitter
end.
Although state of siege has not
been proclaimed, the worlxmen's
quarters are occupied by the military
forces and martial law practically is
in full force. The troops concen-
trated here are from Lombardy and
Venetia. They have raised the
strength of the garrison to $4,000.
Strong contingents of infantry, sup
ported by cavalry and artillery, hold
the strategic points and prevent the
strikers from reaching the centre of
the city. Assisting them are nu-
merous police and carabineers to re-
press riots. Thousands of persons
have been arrested and the authori-
ties have been compelled to transfer
them to the prisons in neighboring
towns.
The movement is changing from an
economic to a political one, like that
which arose in 1885, and the leaders
are encouraging the Separatist ideas,
arguing that Lombardy, most pros
porous region, is unjustly being made
to support the poorer districts of the
south. Pope Plus is discouraging the
clergy and Catholics generally from
sympathizing with the Separatist
agitation.
The Milan Street Railway Company
yesterday succeeded in sending out
ninety-eight cars. The normal num-
Der daily in operation is 700. The
strikers tore up pacing stones and
piled them on the tracks and also at
tempted to erect barbados, but they
were charged by the cavalry and
compelled to dispense. The cars ran
throughout the day escorted by cara
bineers, policemen and squads of

Spanish American War veterans, as
well as to the survivors of the Civil
War. Nearly that many troops were
,massed at Chattanooga in the sum-
mer of 1898, when the government
was marshaling its forces for the war
with Spain. The exceedingly low
rates to the national .encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
September will doubtless encourage
several thousand Spanish American
War veterans to revisit scenes on the
Chattanooga battlefields, where much
military life and display were seen in
1898.

ITALY NOT LIKELY TO
PARTICIPATE AT EXHIBIT

LONDON, Aug 1.-THE cores
pondent at Rome of the Times says
he learns that it is now unlikely that
Italy will participate in the Panama
Pacific exposition.
Sir Thomas Upton in a letter to
the Times strongly advocates that
Great Britain be officially represented
at San Francisco. He argues that
a reduction of the tariff will give OPP
portunities for trade competition
never before anticipated and that
therefore there is greater reason for
British official representation at San
Francisco than there was at either
the Chicago or ST. Louis exhibitions.
