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

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. We are also
satisfied that the materials available i

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

in the lock eanal project are "feasible

Having considered the proper

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,

Their estimate of the complete

They estimate the expense of sanitation

while payments to the Republic

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.
