The $50,00u,W0 rvccuib appropriated by Congress lor national defense is being jupiuiy utilized lor mat purpose, notes tne liniumguam News in an interesting edi torial on cue subject. Nearly Half of the entire sum has already been set apart ox spent on contracts entered into uy the war and navy departments. Ot this the navy u< p.u xxuetit lias spent 7u per cent. 'i ; < Bureau ot Ordnance and the Bureau oi Equipment of tbe navy nave received .tue laigest amounts ot tbe appropriation. '1 he Bureau ol Ordnance has received about $7,00h,0W in ail thus far. I‘iiis money is being expended in the inaiiuiaeiurc ana purchase of large quan lilitß of shells or various calibres, brown prismatic and smoke less powuer, torpedo tubes, guns and in meeting tile expenses of operating tue big gun factory at the Avasuiugtou navy yard. At least SI,Uu(),UOO has been set aside for the current expen ses of th' 1 high power ordnance shop. The Bur.au ot Equipment has expended about jbi.tiOO.UOO in contracts lor coal and coal storage houses at various points and lor miscellaneous equipments aud stores lor ships and naval stations. The figures include tue sums to be spent in tue extensive dredging operations now under way at Port Royal aud Key West, but do uot include the Sb9O,UOU allotted last week for dredging, constructions, etc., in connection with the esiaolishment of the new naval station at Dry Tortugas. A considerable sum has also been ex pended in getting the cruisers Minneapo lis and Columbia and the Miautonomah and others monitors ready for sea. The purchase trom the Brazilian government of tlfe armored cruiser New Orleans, for merly the Amazonas, and the Abreuall, now named the Albany, has Involved the expenditure of fully $3,000,000. This in cludes no only the actual purchase price of the cruisers, but large Incidental ex penses in the matter of arrangements for | ’the contract, the detail of naval officers | tor negotiations aud the cost of getting i •the ships ready to sail for the United (States. About $1,000,0000 will be used by the Bureau of Construction aud Repairs out oif the national defense appropriation in completing the repairs to the Newark, Philadelphia, Yorktown, Charleston, Chi cago and Atlanta, at Norfolk, Mare Is land aud (New York navy yards. Were it not for the fact that this sum is available from the emergency appropriation, the completion of these ships would necessari ly be very much delayed, as the annual appropriation for this bureau for the re pairs of ships has beeu exhausted for some time. Up to the present time $8,375,000 have been allotted to the War Department. Two bureaus of the department only have been the recipients of this money, the Bureau of Ordnance and the Engineering Depart ment. Nearly this entire stun has been used in contracts now in course of ful fillment. The Ordnance department has been cred ited with $2,500,000. From this about sl,- 000,000 has been used iu contracting for large orders of brown and smokeless pow der and armor-piercing shells, aud another contract for projectiles will be entered into ■this week. Nearly SIOO,OOO has been ex pended for cartridges for rifles. Thirty-two rapid tire guns which, were purchased abroad last week, cost about $700,000. About $300,000 more will be spent for gun carriages. Brigadeir-General Wilson, Chief of En gineers, has contracted for the expenditure og about $3,000,000 iu hastening the work on emplacements, magazines and the mounting of guns on the Southern and Kastern coasts. Tbe greater part of the money for ex pediting the emergency work is being ex pended at Key West, Mobile, Pensacola. New Orleans, and other Southern points. -About $500,000 is to be spent in planting torpedoes for harbor defense. The chief of engineers has at his disposal, it is under stood, .about $2,000,000 set aside for his use, but not yet actually expended. Thus it will be seen that the national defense fund has come in well, and that it is being expended in a manner best cal culated to prepare the country for any emergency that may come. Judge Kapp, president of the Interna tional Commerce Commission, stated a few days ago, before the Senate committee on interstate commerce, that the railroads had so crippled the commission, by their various proceedings against it, that unless new- machinery could be provided to ren der effective the original law, it would be ■well to "take away the power the Inter state Commerce Commission is supposed to have. Comment on this pretty state of things is unnecessary. Can’t Get a Two-Thirds Vote. It is now positively announced that the annexation of Hawaii cannot be accom plished by treaty, as a two-thirds vote of the senate cannot be secured for it. Bat the same end will probably be reached through a point resolution of Congress. This is the form which the matter has now taken, starting in the Senate. The affair is too largely one of self ish business interests, but true patriotism also enters into it in both Houses, and on both sides of the question. One of the youngest and ablest senators, for instance, •who frankly says he is “something of a jingo”—who is in favor of free Cuba, even at the expense of war with Spain—is op T posed to the annexation of Hawaii on purely American principles, after having carefully considered all the arguments in its favor. But, if the treaty should be de feated, he will at once propose that the Monroe doctrine be extended to cover the Hawaiian Islands, and thus to protect them from absorption by any foreign na tion. The action of the state Democratic ex ecutive committee in deciding that prima ries shall be held in every county on June 6th for statehouse officers meets with the approval of all who are interested in party harmony and success. This is about the date primaries have heretofore been held. The cessation of political strife as soon as possible is desired. —Dawson News. Congressman Griggs’ Speech. Those *tto have predicted great things for Judge James M. Griggs, of tbe Eleventh district, in the lower house of congress have not been disappointed. On the con trary, he has distinguished himself tar be yond even their most sanguine expecta tions by a speech recently delivered in that body. Congressman Griggs’ speech has receiv ed unusual attention at -the hands of the Northern press, because he discussed what is to them a most vital matter, and dis cussed it in away that could no: fail to impress. It is very evident that tbe Eleventh dis trict made no mistake when it sent Jim 1 Griggs to congress. There are few brain erer young mtn in the country, and we fail to see where the Eelven-tb district j could find his equal. In his speech which baa attracted so much attention, both in the North and South, Congressman Griggst’pressnted some i remarkable quotations on Southern com- j petition with New Englund cotton manti- I facture. We reproduce a few of them. I brom Edward Kilburn, president of the I New Bedford Spinning Company 1 here is nothing in the claim that the I Northern mills have been hurt, by South* ern competition. There is room enough for ail.” From the Boston Post: “It seems that the Arkwright Club gen- , tiemen hold it to be necessary to cut the i wages of their operatives in order to meet ; a competition which does not exist. There j is a good deal of humbug in the proclama tion of the Fall River mill owners. The Massachusetts mills make fine grades, altogether outside the competition of ! Southern manufacturers.” From William C. Pierce, president of the Elizabeth mills, Providence, R. I.: I am satisfied that the South today has many advantages over New England for manufacturing purposes.” From O. M. Styles, superintendent, Hoo sick Falls, N. Y.: "I have been through the South and spent some months in different sections. Your (Northern) advantages for not only cotton manufactures, but many others, are great.” From M. F. Foster, Milford, N. H.: “It has required a whole decade to sat isfy tbe New England manufacturer that tho South possessed advantages over the North for manufacturing. This has been fully decided so far as proximity to cotton and coal fields and climate are concern ed.” From T. W. Wilmarth, superintendent of the Millbury cotton mills, Millbury, Mass.; “There are still advantages North that it will take the South years to gain. There are natural resources South that the op posite section never can obtain.” All things considered, the South would appear, in the long run, to have the better of the situation. Mr. Griggs draws the lesson that both the North and South must diversify their industries. Says the Dawson News: "Senator Ste vens has Commissioner Nesbitt moving about the state at a lively gait. Next fall the latter gentleman will move out of the state house to make room for Commission er Stevens.” Will Not Adjourn. There is to be no premature adjourn ment of Congress. It has been talked I about by people who stand for peace and dollars, with or without honor, and their organs, of course, favor what they are paid to advocate. The president has been charged with complicity in their design of not having "Congress on his bands,” he that they cun the better influence him. But he has denied the imputation, and there, is no doubt that he feels the need of Congress both to take responsibility and to sustain him in his acts. Anyhow a poll of Congress was taken a day of two ago on the question—■ “Are you in favor of the adjournment of ■Congress before the report of the Maine disaster is received and before a settle ment of the Cuban question is made?” Total number of nays, House and Sen ate, 207. Total number of yeas, House and Sen ate, 8. Total number of non-committal, House and Senate, 93. Mr. P. J. Beckermans, the best authori ty on fruit in Georgia, says do not accept the estimates of the fruit crop until after April 10. We are not past the possible danger from frost until then. The Case in a Nutshell. The Augusta Chronicle sizes up the racket about a snap primary in a very few words. It says the racket being worked by Colonel Candler’s opponents is an old story. Why is it any more of a snap primary for him than for Colonel Candler? pointed ly asks the Chronicle. They both have the same time in which to get over the state, and visit the counties, and if Mr. Berner has not sufficient time in which to visit them all, neither has Colonel Candler. But they say Colonel Candler was in the field first and got a start of the others. Well, if ithis is true there is no way in which this can be done. If he was in the field a month longer than the others he will continue to hold this distiction in July, just the same as in June. They knew the race was going to come off just as well as Colonel Candler knew it, and they had the same right to come in that he had. In a few days Miss Bradley will pour water over the troubled prow of the Ken tucky. Where Gage is Right. Secretary Gage, of the treasury, an nounces in his latest speech that the finan cial battle must be fought over again. His words are: “We must be ready to vote again upon the main issue. We do not fear its re sults. Nevertheless, the offset of the coa lition between revolutionized Democracy, Silver Republicanism, and fiat-teaching Populism will be pushed with both vigor and zeal. Already the leaders are bring ing their skirmishers into line for the Con gressional contest contests of next au tumn.” Nobody disputes 'Mr. Gage on this one point. The financial fight is not done. Some think it has just begun. Says the Columbus Enquirer-Sun: “Senator Bacon, of Georgia, offers the only proper solution of the Hawaiian question in an amendment offered to the annexation resolution, which provides that the reso lution shall not become effective until the people have voted upon the question o' annexation. This is Democratic, but it may not suit the senators. Those w’ho favor annexation know’ that it v.ill never do to leave this question to the people. Tbe people are not looking for leprosy.” •Mank Hanna has a profound sense of bi-: public usefulness at Washington. He is reported to have said re?m:lv in regard to his senatorial contest in Ohio, “My defeat would have been a national calamity.” That Georgia judge who broke a bottle over the prow of an Atlanta editor must have been laboring under the impression that he was launching a battleship.—Mem phis Commercial-Appeal. Senator .Mason says be v.ill fight tbe Spaniard who recently challenged him to moral combat. The place will be Klon dike, and the time a year after the Cuban independence. The Savannah Press observes that the navy department would have won addi tional glory if it had purchased the O’Hig gins on St. Patrick’s Day. The Maryland General Assembly has demanded Senator Wellington’s resigna tion because he is not acting to please that body. 1 Tie 'is- ,z? sla:l» xS- , - uia The beet time to advertise la all the time.

An Earthquake Warms a Spring, And now another phenomenon can be attributed to tbe earthquake of last No vember, which shook things so generally in Montana. In Helena it was reported that a deaf mute had found speech as the result ot the earth shaking Itself. Senator Alex Metzel of Twin Bridges, or, as he calls it, Fuller Springs, so named from a famous hot spring on his ranch, says that the quake increased the temper ature of the water of tho springs a dozen degrees. r i’ho day after the earth trembled one of the senator’s sons thought he would go out to the springs and take a bath, as was his custom. He got into tho pool, and then he got out, for he found the water unusually hot. A thermometer w’as brought into use, and it was found that the temperature was over 110 F. Before the earthquake it was along in the nine ties. Several tests of the temperature tak en since the earthquake have shown the same considerable increase over what it was before the earthquake. “I am firmly convinced that tho in ternal troubles that resulted in tho earth quake turned on a warmer supply of wa ter and raised the temperature of my spring’s from 10 to 20 degrees, ” said Sen ator Metzel. “Wehave been keeping track i>f tbe temperature of the springs for years. It never increased or decreased until the change that was noted the day after the earthquake. I was in the east at the time, so I cannot vouch for this part of the story, but tbe boys say that besides being warm er tbe water for two days after the shock was milky white.”—Helena Herald.
