R Into Hntehlnson’s Island United States Werehant Marine Seldom Seen in Ports of the United Klnud-oin— Matters of Inter est to Shippers and Mariners. The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Compa ny's big dredge, which is working on ihe old wharves at the entrance to slip No. 3 into the Terminal Company’s property, is making progress in the tedious work it is prosecuting. Much difficulty attends the work owing to the large rock and tinkers which form part of the old wharves. Ihe dredge has cleared about half the way across the entrance, and will in the course of it day or so probably strike another lot of piling, and anew embankment on which to work. Ships That Went to England. Much has happened since 1850 :n the mat ter of American shipping. Tlo n 'He docks of Liverpool were full of splendid wooden built sailing ships under the Stars and Stripes To-dav a difficulty would be .x --perienced in finding a representative of the United States mercantile marine at al most any port of the Untied Ktngd m The American sailing ships of the China cllp ,M r age were the embodiment of a sail a s dream, end to meet one at sea. und >r clouds of white cotton canvas, with every thing drawing, from three lofty skysa.ls and royal studding sails to three hugh courses, was, indeed, a revelation. The masters and officers of Ihese shtpt have never been surpassed in seamanship, and the way in which rapid passages were made Is almost beyond belief. No sail ing ship in the world's history has ever put to shame the record pas age of the American ship Dreadnaught, Sandy H o; to Queenstown in nine days, seven! en. hours, under Capt. S. Samuels, who Is s i.I living in New York, or that of the Aber deen White Star sailer Thermopylae. Copt Kimball, from England to Melbourne in sixty days.

Memphis, Tenn., April 2.—Gen. Luke E. Wright was given a farewell banquet by his friend to-night. Two hundred people were present. Among them were Govs. McMillin of Tennessee and Jones of Ar kansas. Speeches were made by Chief Justice Snodgrass, ex-Congressman Pat terson and others. . ■ Gen Wright was visibly affected when he arose to reply to the kindly expres sions from all quarters. After thanking his friends he took up the question of ex pansion and reviewed the purchase of Louisiana and the taking in o f Florida, California and Alaska. Gen. \N right con “"We 1 may assume, therefore if there Is any force on the doctrine of practical construction, that the power to expand is Inherent and Inexhaustible. In short, tha. whatever additional territory the people of the United States think they need and can rightfully acquire, they may const!- tutionally take. "In each instance the question Is one of expediency and not of power, to be de termined upon a consideration of all the attendant advantages of the transaction. The speeker said that the argumeni against imperialism seemed to him irrel evant as it sets up a man of straw to bu knocked down. The only tmperator to whom our allegiance ts due, is the will of the sovereign people, expressed in a manner they have subscribed. Gen. Wright said that it has always been his belief that the Island of Cuba should be a part of the United States. "I do not subscribe to the doctrine that wherever the flag once floats it must float forever; but I do say that wherever the flag is rightfully raised It should never be furied in violation Of the dictates of duty and honor. To abandon these islands now, to my mind, would be a blot upon our good name among mankind for all "When all opposition to our authority is at an end. and not before, the question as to how the islands can be best govern ed becomes at once and always, not only a legitimate, but a highly important topic 1 fol.discussion. There shall be upon this as upon all other important matters, full and fr, e Interchange of thought." Gen. Wright closed with an affectionate good-by to his friends and associates. “DAZZLING SILVER" WAS PLATED. Col. Bellinger Tells About the Fit ting* of the Snniner. In the House of Representatives the other day Congressman Driggs of ♦lew York created a mild sensation by charg ing the war department with gross ex travagance in fitting up the transport Sumner at New York. He asserted that dazzling silver and magnificent cut glass had been provided for the transport until >sh%* was second in appointment only to Che private yacht of a multi-millionaire. It appears that Col. John B. Bellinger, who was depot commissary in this ciiy during the war with Spain, was engaged directly or indirectly in fitting up the ves sel. He has given some facts in repjy to Mr. Driggs' chaiges. The New York T.mee says; "Col. John B. Bellinger of the quarter master general's office produced some fig ures showing the cost of articles referred 10 in Mr. Driggs' speech. As to the cost of the titling out of the Sumner, his re port agreed with those of Assistant Secre tary Melßlejohn that they did not exceed $300,030. Until the bills of the Norfolk rnavy yard people are received the exact figures cannot he given. The transport was generally fitted up. as have been the otlieis put into long distance service. The cost of repaiis at Brooklyn, which Mr. Driggs said w..s SB,OOO, and should have been $2,000, was, Col. Bellinger said, $1,945. The tumblers and water bottles in the staterooms, supplied according to u lump bid f. r all crockery in the ship, can be bought at retail for 39 cents and $1.25, respectively, Instead of the 75 cents and $2.75 asserted by Mr. Driggs. The linen of the ship is not of the best, but It Is good, the table cloths having cost 87H 1 cuts a yard, napkins 22 cents each, she ts each, pillows, 14 cents each, and pillow-slip*. H’v cents each. The "mag nificent gla.-s doors tor staterooms" are the ordinary frosted glass used for the purpose, and rod 56 oen s each. The ta bles for the dining room were made by the Norfolk navy yard, .and the exact cost Is not known. Mr. Driggs understated the cost of the chairs In the dining room when he said It was $lB each. They are the standard chairs used in all ocean steamers, and cost S2O each. Mahogany was selected for the woodwork of tlie ship, because the wood is found to siand the atmospheric conditions on beard ship better than any other used for the purpose. The original outlay may be a Utile higher than It would be if other wood were used, but the durability of mahogany- commends It as most economical In the end. The mirrors In the sideboards, objected lo bv Mr. Puggs as having cost ll.finn. cost $13.5v, and for the luige mirror at the WORLD FAMOUS HYMNS and POEMS With Words and Music —and — Illustration in Gravure.

These hymns and poems, from Saint Stephen to Longfellow, represent and ex press the highest hopes and aspirations of the race. Thejj live because they do ex press them In the highest wy— through music and song. They have given hope to millions who are dead and will give con solation to millions yet unborn. With each hymn or poem there is a brief sketch of the author, and an aceoun* of the circumstances under which It was written. This gives new color, new Ilf ■ and new meaning; also the music for the same. The pictures of Lyte, dying of consump tion, and wilting with his lasi ebbing strength, “Abide With Me;" of Newman, torn with doubt and menial anguish be cause he could not accept Calvanism, put ting Ills faith in this prayer, "Lead Kindly Light;" of Longfellow protesting agairsi the pessimism of Ecclesiastes in his "Fsaim of Life;” are noi only new but lasting in their effect.
