"The bravery of young men.’ said
Rear Admiral Buhler at Atlantic City,
according to the New York Tribune
“is a fact, that I shall never cease to
marvel over. Did you ever hear of
hope too forlorn, a risk too over

armies and navies of the world to
undertake?
‘If only th eyoung men's wisdom
equalled their bravery! But this is
impossible. Someiimes 1 think boys
have so much braverv there Is no
room in them for anything else.
“I used to know a bov who was
brave enough, but reckless, careless,
extravagant. He accumulated a great
quantity of debts.
"His father gave him a talking to

The recent order promulgated by the
President that all officers of the army
and the navv must report all viola
tions of the eight hour labor law,
that h been on the statute books
since 1893. made bv contracts hand
ling government works, is an eleven
th bon*- repentance. The labor peo
ple have for years been trying to get
such order out of the Republican ad
ministration. but without avail. The
contractors have been violating the
law and laughing in the faces of the
labor people who have complained
to the officers in charge of the works,
the l?vtter telling them that they
were not there to plav detective for
the labor people. This latest order
of the President now compels thi
officers to play detective and report
all violations of the law, and it is
simply a sop thrown to Labor in the
face of all the grievances complained
of bv the labor people. Will this
thing fool the labor people and make
them face about in their determina

that have been flung In their fac$*s in

It is the general impression here

simply because the Democratic mem-

Referring to our navy’s submarine
boats, a description of the “Octopus,”
the largest of four boats now build
ing. will prove interesting.
The Octopus is 105 feet long, and
will have a sped on the surface of
10 1-2 knots per hour, and 8 1-2 knots
when running submerged. She will
carry four large torpedoes, any one
of which could blow a battle-ship to
atoms and destroy her complement
of six or eight hundred souls.
The contract for this boat calls for
a service or endurance test in the
open sea of twenty-four hours dura
tion. at high speeds after which she
is to remain at sea. self-sustaining,
for three days. The vessel is to be
able to sink to a distance of 200 feet
below the surface of the sea.
It will he seen that this under
water torpedo-boat will he a formid
able craft, and on her stealthy cruises
will he a terror to the leviathan bat
tle ship or cruiser.
The features of the submarine
boat which make it invaluable as a
war weapon, is its ability to approach
the enemy unseen, and. in the unlike
ly even of being discovered, its pro-
tectio from hostile fire afforded by
the fifteen or twenty feet of water
intervening between the top of the
boat and the surface of the water.
The submarine of the latest type
costs between $300,000 and $500,000.
With its torpedoes it can blow to
atoms a first class battle-ship, costing
ten or twelve million.
In the recent debate in the Senate
on the naval appropriation, a propos
ed appropriation authorizing a mons
ter battle-ship to cost $10,000,000 or
$12,000,000 was under discusron.
Senator Tillman said: "We have
read of battles between whales and
sword-flshe and we know how much
trouble the great leviathan has in
battling with a school of sword-fish.
That simile occurs to me as an illus
tration of the inutility, the useless-
nest. and the dangerous condition
into which a great ship like this
might be if .a lot of torpedo boats, or
submarines, or other destructive
agencies, or even smaller vessels
having equally good guns that could
pierce her armor or pierce her hull,
should be her adversaries.”

Carolina troops had the unusual hon-
of being the first on the grounds
today at Chickamauga. As one of the
r#* "ular army officers at the station
remarked. “South Carolina is always

The two specials were combined
just after Chattanooga was passed and
at 1:15 the historic battleground was
reached. Of course it rained. The
troops. 403 of them, reached the sta

down. The volunteers had some
regular army experience and the few
regulars hingin^ around th« station
laughed at the dripping Palmetto
boys as they climbed the hill in a
drenching downpour. But the camp
is only about 200 yeards from the sta
tion and the Third South Carolina
regiment got busy with the tents and

hour later the Virginia and Louisiana
troops came in. But witji the exceo-
