Worx Broun anp Gas Dnmxisnep.—The workmen are engaged tearing down the old gasholder at the city works. The holder has been in use for thirty-six years, having been erected in the spring of 1853. For some time, although its capacity was only about 12,000 cubic feet, it sufficed to supply the town. A new holder of larger capacity was, however, built many years ago, and both holders have since been in use together. Now a new holder of about 124,000 feet capacity is to be put up, and the city, during the two months required for the building of the tank, will barely be able to supply consumers, and the city lamps will have no supply, except fora short period on very dark nights. The total cost of the gas works, a8 officially reported, up to June was $143,518, but the expenditures on account of the works during this year have been very great, ary the close of the present year the total cost will be over $160,000. The gas works have been the source of very great annual rev- enue to the city. In 1855 the city paid to the works $16,893 and received only $10,070.06. The receipts soon exceeded the expenditures, and in 1859 the city paid 12,252.51 to the works and received $19,785.31. After that time the city received five or six thousand dollars annual profit, besides the public lamps. Lately the city has been ae | nothing from the gas works, but paying out for them. ‘we Fourta Warp Repvsiicays of Alexan- dria, Va., met Friday night and passed resolu- tions condemning the action of the independ- ent commtttee for placing council ticket in the field for their suffrages without first con- sulting their wishes.

QUEEN OF THE OCEAN. Ex-Secretary Whitney Tells what has|The City of Paris Beats the Record Direction. been done in that The New York Herald prints an interview with ex-Secretary Whitney, now in London, in regard to the foundation laid for an Americrn mavy during the administration ot President Cleveland, in which he say: “As I look at it, President Cleveland's ad- ministration should be credited not merely with what has thus far been actually done in the way of construction, but with the fact that we can now create entirely from our own re- sources every modern implement of war of the highest character, including war vessels of the highest types. with their guns and armor.” After referring to the policy of remodeling and repairing old war ships which had been — during previous odministretions, Mr. hitney continued : “President Cleveland reversed the licy which had been fora long time pursued, and the old navy has been allowed to die a natural death. During his administration we have had in the course of construction war vessels, mod- ern in character, of over 75,000 tons. half this tonnage is in armored ships, and of unarmored ships—those of the class known as protected cruisers—we are building seven, of average of 4,000 tons each, and with a guar- anteed speed of nineteen knots and upward. In this class of vessels we will soon rank second only to England.” HEAVY GUN FOUNDRIES ALSO. “Tbelieve you referred to having increased construction facilities?” “Yes. We have nearly finished at Washing- ton an ordnance factory for finishing heavy naval ordnance and cranes and the necessary machinery for handling gun Go7EiDgs up to 120 tons, which covers the larges® guns afloat upon any war vessel in the world. I think upon this the government has expended or has in the course of expenditure a total sum of about 2,000,000, “The department also entered into a contract with one of our largest and best steel manu- factories (the Bethlehem Iron comp: under which a plant is being erected for the produc- tion of armor and gun forgings. This plant is to cost something over $3,000,000. The con- tract was entered into about two and a half years ago, and the plant will be completed this year.” CONGRESS MORE LIBERAL THAN FORMERLY. “Is Congress disposed to appropriate mone more freely now for the navy than former!; “Yes, notably so. The feeling has changed very perceptibly, and the disposition now is in fact to give the Navy department money more rapidly than it can be judiciously used. In each of the two last sessions of Congress more money was voted for new naval construction than the department asked for.” “Do you think that the United States will continue the policy of increasing the size and completeness of its navy? “I know no reason why it should not do so. The necessity—or, at least, the advantage—is apparent. There is plenty of money. and pub- lic sentiment, as it now exists, will indorse such a policy. “Of course, with the completion of the new lants the present Secretary of the Navy will able to lay outa much ‘larger program of expenditure than was possible under the last administration. A SOLID FOUNDATION LAID. “Under President Cleveland the foundation was thoroughly laid for a navy adequate to the needs of the United States and commensurate with her dignity and position among the nations, and it is to be hoped and expected that this foundation will be built upon. “A few evenings ago a nephew of Charles Reade, the novelist, in a lecture here in Lon- don, said it had been reported that the United States had a dynamite gun which, it was claimed, could blow into,smithercens any war ship now afloat, Ashe made the statement a man in the audience shouted out that he didn’t believe it. Are you willing to throw a little light on that point? WE HAVE SUCH A GUN. “T hardly think I would do wisely in going into that matter in detail,” replied Mr. Whit- ney, laughing. “for might be drawn into a discussion with some one. “It is true, however, that the United States appropriated money for the construction of a pheumatic dynamite cruiser. anda considerable amount—#600,000 or £700,000—for a coast defense ship of a dynamite character. It is certain that the dynamite gun has passed be- yond the = eee stage. It has been demonstrated that it will throw an aerial tor- pedo containing 600 pounds of nitro-glycerine to a distance,of one mile, and one containing 200 pounds to & distance of two miles. THE GUN WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF. “Ido not care now to express myself as to the amount of destruction which the dynamite gun will cause over and above that of the guns now in use, and it remains to be shown yet to what extent the dynamite gun can be utilized on shipboard.” “Do you think the dynamite gun likely to revolutionize naval warfare?” “I am not prepared to make public my opin- ion on that point yet. I simply say that unless the Navy department had great expectations from the dynamite gun it would not have ex- pended so much money in finding out what it could accomplish.” = Fair dealing has always been tho motto of Tar Evuxinc Star. “A dollar's worth in return for every dollar received” is the principle upon which its business is con- ducted.

Queen Victoria’s Rings. From the Detroit Free Pree. It is said that the three rings which Queen Victoria prizes the most highly are: First of all, her wedding ring, which she has never taken off; then a small emerald ring witha tiny diamond in the center, which the Prince Consort gave her at the age of 16; and an em- erald serpent which he gave her as an ment ring. For many years after the Prince Consort's death her majesty slept with these i on her fingers, only taking them off to aog her hands, as the water would, of course, spoil the enamel. pie eB Turkish Extravagance. From London Truth. The Turkish government, as every one knows, is over head and ears in debt, and yet the idi- otic sultan is about to expend a large sum in building, decorating and furnishing a palace within the grounds of Yildiz, as a residence for the emperor William when he visits Constantino- ple in October. This crazy extravagance is oe of Transatlantic Voyages. The new steamship, the City of Paris, which arrived at Sandy Hook yesterday morning, can now claim to be queen of the sea, for she has made the fastest time on record for am ocean vorage, having beaten the Etruria’s time by 2 bours and 48 minutes. The New York ‘Sun says: Although hampered by heavy wind at the beginning of her westward voyage and by fog at the close, she broke all previous records, and placed herself at the head of the list of ocean greyhounds. Making allowance for the difference in time, the City of Paris made the ran between Queenstown and Sandy Hook in 5 days, 23 hours and 7 minutes, The best previous time, that of the Etruria, made last June, was 6days,1 hour and 55 minutes, The difference in favor of the City of Paris was therefore 2 hours and 48 minutes, this, the City of Paris sur 24 consecutive hours on three different days, A REVIEW OF RECORD MAKING. ithe record for The Tribune, after referring to the pride of Captain Watkins in his achievement and the fact that this unprecedented speed was made upon the second transatlantic voyage of the steamer, which promises that even her record will yet be surpassed, says the limit of spee since the Guion 1881 and mad: Ocean's pennant, a 7 days, 7 hours and ~What teamship Arizona came out d took it with a record minutes, resent has been the question ever Ly a rush for the Queen of the of As steamship has followed steamship, as compound engines have succeeded single low-pressure engines and triple-expansion engines compound engines, the speed has been increased.

Some people find fault because a few have so much influence in politics, in business, in so- ciety, andeven in church, The¥ seem to for- get that it is inevitable and applies even in childhood and youth.
