From the light obtained fro
the daily papers, it is preti
clear that the court of inquii
will withhold its report as to tl
cause of the destruction of tl
Maine until the United Stat<
gets things in readiness for a coi
Iliet. It is equally clear that tl
government is making prepan
tions as rapidly as possible.

manly and able counsel to content
against. Verily, 1'ee Dee will earits

The renewal of the phosphate in
dustry in Charleston and Beaufort i
one of the most gratifying items o
news that the newspapers of the stuti
have had to pbulish in quite a while
It has long been asserted by friend
ill of the administration that this grea
n- industry was not dead, but onl;
in "playing 'possum" in order to get i
's reduction of royalty. Whether tin
i- is true or not, it is a fact that tin
re men who are engaged in it are ni
id more philanthropic than any othei
to set of men in the state and it is fai
of to suppose that they see some mone;
w for themselves, and necessarily tin
111 state must come in ror its share. Tin
d stale is therefore justified in the firn
>t stand at took against a reduction o
of the royalty. It is not every chili
id who cries "sick" that needs the doc
?o tor. The paddle has been known to d<
ie more good sometimes than medicine.
ie In regard to the smallpox scare
>f there is enough fire in the smoke ti
>d cause wise men to be apprshensivi
ts and to justify the health authoritie
.0 in compelling vaccination. Whet he
d. chicken pox, it can no longer hi

i- deaths from it, for lVlham mills ii
ie tireenville county has had two death

i- Sn far as politics is concerned, then
?o is little new to be learned. The poli
w ti< ians have been resting for the pas
week and probably incubating nev
y booms that they will spring later. I
ie is understood that the mails are kep
o( pretty hot, but there has been litth
talk.
The effort to reorganize the scat

1 Story of a Rig Government Con1
tract for Coal of Wli ich Secrecy
is an important Part.
H
r Pittsburg, Pa., February 25.?
e Tlio Post to-morrow will say : It
* was learned to-day in Pittsburg,
s through an ollicer of one of the
' largest coal corporations doing
* business in this district, that the
* navy department had closed cone
tract8 with the incorporated firm
? of Gastner, Currati & Bullitt, of
P Philadelphia, for the delivery at
r Key West, Sand Keys, Dry Tor
y tugas, Savannah, Charleston and
e Fortress Monroe of 250,000 tons
R of Pocahontas coal, and with the
1 Rhodes & Holder Coal Company,
f of Cleveland, for the delivery of
1 50,000 tons of the Goshen coal of
t that company. The stipulations
of tho contracts just placed is that
, the coal so ordered shall he de,1
livered at the designated coaling
e stations ur soon as it is possible
s to do so, ami the utmost secrecy,
r he observed about the matter. In
" carrying out these contracts the
' railroads play a most prominent
1 part, and for the purpose of moving
everything as expeditiously as
, possible President M. E. lugalls,
. of the Chesapeake and Ohio; Re
i ceiver Murray, of tho Raltimore
r and Ohio, and General .Manager
i Loiree, of the Pennsylvania Rail
1 road, went to Washington last
' week and consulted with Secretary
Long, of the navy, and Assistant
Secretary Geo. I). Meiklejohn,
of the war department. Conf
tracts and all arrangements for
P the rapid handling and shipping
t of the coal were made, and the
< Government, it is u derstood, is
I to pay a bonus to ' >th the coal
* miners and the railroads if the
: .*>00,000 tons were delivered within
a specified time.

THE MAINE TO BE ABANDONED.
I
It Would Cost $2,000,000 to
Kalso Her and the Wreck is
not Worth the Cost.
New York, Feb. 26.?The JVyiil
and Express this evening pr?;Jts
tho following dated Havana today
: The United States fnaval
board of inquiry continued to-dav
taking tho testimony of thodivors
who have been working in tho
wreck of the Maine. Those who
wero sent hero from tho battle
ship Iowa and cruiser New York
were examined.
1
While, of course, tho members
of tho Court will not talk for publication,
I am informed on \he
highest authority that the evidence
of Diver Morgan as to the
condition of tho Maine shows 'almost
beyond tho possibility of
doubt, in the opinion of my informant,
that the Maine was blown
tip by an outside agency.
Furthermore, Morgan's report
was verified by the other American
divers who descended to day.
The Court will finish its work
hero tomorrow ami proceed at
once to Key West to take the
testimony of the survivors there.
It has also been decided not* to
return to Havana, all the information
as to the cause of the disaster
obtainable here have alrdhdy
been secured. It is believed that
a decision has been practically
reached. The witnesses yet to bo
examined will hardly change the
verdict.
The Court has decided against
any attempt to raise the ruined
battleship. The members are con- I
vinced that it would bo useless,as jl
she could never be kept afloat, II
and the Spanish authorities here j|
will be informed that if fliey wish I
the wreck removed from the harbor
they must attend to the work
I themselves. This decision gives
a better idea of the terrible havoc \
wrought in the Maine than columns
of description could do.
The Merritt Wrecking Company.
it was announced to
day. wanted :f"J,<?()(?,<)()() to raise
the wreck. The company's representative
made this demand after
\ 11 \viisi _ the condition of the hip.
