THE FORT MILL TIMES < VOL. XVII. FORT MILL, S. C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25,1900. NO. 4(i. WET ENCIRIl 16 of Uncle Sams's Larg< From a Successf On the last long roach of their I spectacular cruise around the world, the sixteen battleships of the "United States Atlantic Fleet" are steaming in leasurcly fashion towards the anchorage grounds of * Hampton Rbnds, whence they sailed just fourteen months ago. During these months of record steaming the heavily armored lighting vessels have j( traveled approximately 45,000 miles and are returning in condition still fit for "frolie or n fight." The cruise has been a varitnble expedition of the seven seas and tasks heretofore deemed impossible for Hie modern ironclad have been accomplishd with an ease bordering on the commonplace. The stories of the rraise have been Buceeding chapters of receptions, banquets, balls and merry making, but back of all this relaxation and vuicriaimng iu llie hospitable ports ] of the two hMnsplicrcs has been a 1 test of men and material which "has 1 placed the American navy in nn cn- 1 viable position before all the world. ' The facility in following tlie motions ] of the flogship in the fleet, squadron < nnd divisional mnnonevres which < came with constant experience at sea. and above all the marvelous records ] made at the targets in Magdalena < nnd Manila bays tell of the real work nnd the snhsequentinl accomplish- I ments that have marked this most i notable of pence demonstrations i among the navies of the woild. < Secretary Mctcnlf says: "When ] the purpose of giving this assemblage i of battleships the privileges and advantages of a practical cruise was an- 1 nounccd, criticisms from high teclini- i cal quarters were heard. It was sug- i gested that the undertaking was too I monumental; that a battleship is too 1 vnst nnd complicated a piece of mech- ' anism to send around the globe on \ any ordinary occasion; that dangers i more than multiplied with numbers j in such a case; that disaster lurked j i EXPERTS SAY CANAL F Washington.

The report of the inginecrs "shows in clearest fashion that the Congress was wise in the position it took, nnd that it would be uit'xrusHDie iony io mango lrom dm proposed lock canal to a sen lcv< 1 cniwl." The engineers show Hint the only criticism that can lie made of the work on tlie isthmus is thnt there has sometimes been almost nn excess of caution in providing against pos- ( nible troublo. The engineers report that, as the Gatun earth dam was the central point of discussion, they gave it, under instructions from Mr. Taft, "first consideration in the light of all now evidence," and they add that "the typo of dam now under construction is one which meets our unanimous approval." They say they are "satveiled that there will be no dangerous or objectionable seepage through the materials under the base of the dam; nor are they so soft as to be liable to be pushed aside by the weight of the proposed dnm so ns to cause dangerous settlement.

ROOSEVELT ON I Washington, Special.?A magazine writer called on the President the ther day to get from hini some material for a review of the Roosevelt [ administration. The writer asked the . President what he considered his | gratest accomplishment during his t . seven years in tho White House. The L President said he regarded as his greatest work tho construction of the " J'wjftma canal. lie placed second iaj ESTHE WORLD est Sea-Fighters Return ul World-Cruise on every Bubmer^g ledge and was borne on every unknown tidal current; that the skeleton of some of the ships would doubtless be left in the Straits of Magelian; that, if the fleet should succeed in rounding South America it was reasonably certain that the individual ships would, one by one, arrive with machineries loose and almost unservicable, with :rcws reflecting the demoralized con lit ion or t lie material, and that a woeful spectacle of failure would thus be presented. "As to the material, .the cold facts ire that the ships have practically taken rare of their own repairs on his cruise. The repair lists turned in at the Cavite naval station were negligible.'' That the experience gained on the ruise will be of unending benefit to the navy is indicated from the fact that probably one-half of the entire personnel of the naval establishment participated in the epoch-making :rip. Three of the sixteen captains^ ivho sailed in command of vessels are returning home as rear admirals. Right other captains arc returning in command of the same ship on wfiich they began the journey of the world. Trom rear admiral down to midshipman the training has been such as .10 other naval cruise ever afforded. Among the enlisted meu tlR? training has been even more valuable. Landsmen shipped just be/ore that start and utterly green in the ways of the ilccp, are coming home an integral part of a wonderful licet efficiency ami loyal believers in all that the American navy stands for. Desertions 011 the ships have been few. The aien have taken a prid? in the cruise and it will be a constant boast with them that thev started to the woBt from Hampton Roads and came home with prows still turned in that direction.

Dams anil looks, look gates and all at her engineering structures involved in the lock eanal project are "feasible and safe," nccoding to the engineers, "and they can be depended upon to perform with certainty theii respective functions." Having considered the proper bright for the crest of the Gatun dam, they concluded that "it could be safely reduced 20 feet from that originally proposed; namely to an elevation of 115 feet nbovc sea level, or MO feet above the normal level i f the water against the dam." This change has been ordered. Their estimate of the complete cost of tlie canal is $300,000,000. They say it is incorrect to state that the original estimate of cost was $140,000,000, as they did not inchuV? "sanitation and zone government." They estimate the expense of sanitation and zone government at $27,000,000, while payments to the Republic of Panama and to the new Panama Canal Company amounts to $")0.000,000, which would make the difference between tho present estimate and the previous estimate, with rest of sanitation and zone govemvent and payments, added, only $143,000,000.

Little seems to have been neeomf lished in the Senate or House o Tuesday. The prohibition and loc: option factions have become nntag< nistic. In the House especially, th local optionisls by roll calls and rca< ing line by line of bills hope t? keep the prohibition bill from con intr to a vote. It_was the object t adjourn on Saturday, but the tin; may have to be extended into nes week. In the Senate it is said th local optionists have a majority c four and in the House there is cloL'o division. Local Optioniste Yield. Having reached an agrecme; Wednesday morning whereby the !< cal optionists consented to let th two State-wide prohibition bills com to a vote before tlie close of tlio lej islnlive day, the bills wore voted o Wednesday night, tho bill declarin State-wido prohibition and givin the present dispensaries till ne?

The House then took up the othc prohibition bill, which provides th conditions under which drug store may sell alcohol ami wine for sn< ramental, scientific and medicine purposes, lly a vote of 52 to 35 th House refused to kill the bill an later passed it to third rending. Neither bill can reach the Senat till Friday and it is a hundred to on shot it will not get through that bodj with the result that there will he n change in t lie present system.

The Senate, hv a vote of 10 to 2fl refused to indefinitely postpone th 11 section of the railroad rate hill refer ring to mileage being neecpted oi in trains and the bill, as amended, wa u" ordered to third reading. An amend . ment was adopted to the effect tlm J* the provisions of the bill do not refc to lines under 50 miles in length. The Bill an Passed. 01 "That in case anv railroad com pany or companies shall put on sal any form of mileage hook at a rat V not exceeding 21-2 cents a mile th 1' presentation of the current numbe of miles by the short route, out o the said bcok to the conductor or other officers authorized to tnke up I tickets on trains, shall entitle the person holding said mileage to travel i on the trains of the railroad company . selling said mileage and on the trains [ of all other railroad companies on which by agreement the said mileage t hook is receivable in exchange for transportation.

Of course there may t he amendments on the third reading and the Senate inav, or may not, then ,) affirm its action." rf Hard Fight on Bill. 1 The main proponent of the bill was I Senator Graydon of Abbeville, who > made some strong arguments in its 1 favor. lie contended in part that there was no agremcnt of any kind - made at the last session by which - the Senate should feel bound. Senator Walker made the principal I speech against the railroad rate hill. ' Mr. Walker's remarks were directed j in the channel that the legislature had made a moral contract with the railroads last year when the governor r and the officials of the various railp road companies had conferred together and the governor hail submit1 ted his recommendation for no legiss Intion to the general assembly. Mr. : Walker also argued that it was not f right for the legislature to interfere i with the business methods of the rail l* roads in the mileage section of the . hill. The drummers have what they asked for, that is to say, hereafter; pro vided there are no further changes made in the hill, mileage must he t taken up on the trains instead of it being necessary to exchange mileage p for tickets. 1 Also the Senate stood pat upon this implied agreement with the rail1 roads ami have not legislated a 2 1-2 - cent rate. j The Senate adjourned until Tuest day, S p. m. Money is Given for "South Caro* , olina.'' The House on Saturday passed the I resolution introduced in both houses , providing for .$.">,000 for a suitable j silver service for the battleship South Carolina. When the resoln' lion came up, on motion of Mr. Ruekcr, Mr. Duvnll objected to the J appropriation, stating that it carried an appropriation and suggesting that the money htTjaised hv subscription.

A motion was made to tnblo the r bill, which won! 1 make it a misde, meaner to publish the name cf a ? woman upon wh.ora assault was nt ' tempted. Mr. Aver, who made the motion. 1 said it was a dangerous step to lake 1 and the liberty of the press should not bo tampered with. The good * sense and judgment of the newspa' pers should he trusted. ^ The bill was passed, however. A c fight was also made on Senator Clifton's hill extending the liability of telegraph companies in mental p anguish suits. After considerable 0 debate the hill passed third reading. On third reading hills, a motion D was made to recommit Senator Weston's bill enlarging commissioner Watson's department, so as to in^ elude factory inspection.
