“Washington, June 28.——The president
sent the following message to Con-
gress yesterday:
To the Congress of the United States:
On the morning of the third of June,
1898, Assistant Naval Constructor
Richmond P. Hobson. U. S. N., with
a volunteer crew of seven men, in
charge of .the partially disabled collier
Merrimac, entered the fortified harbor
of Santiago, Cuba, for the purpose of
sinking the collier in the narrowest
portion of the channel and thus inter.
posing a serious obstacle to the egress
of the Spanish fleet, which had recently
entered that thar-bor. This enterprise,
demandinge coolness, judgment and
bravery amounting to heroism, was
carried into successful execution in the.
face Of a. persistent fire from the hostile
fleet as well as from the fortifications
on shore. ,
The president then quotes Admira
Sampson’s message commending Hob--
son’s brave deed, and continues:
The members of the crew who were
with Mr. Hobson on this memorable
occasion have already been rewarded
by advancement,
which, under the provisions of law and
regulation, the secretary of the navy
was authorized to make, and the mom-
ination to the Senate of Naval Cadet
Powell, who, in a steam launch, fol-
lowed the Merrimac on 'her perilous trip
for the purpose of rescuing her force
after the sinking of that vessel, to be
advanced in rank to the grade of on-
sign, has been prepared and will be
submitted. -
. Cushing, with whose gallant act in
blowing up the ram Allbemarle during
:the civil war, Admiral Sampson com-
pares Mr. HObson’s sinking of the Mer-
rimac,,received the thanks of Congress
upon recommendation of the president,
by name, and was, in consequence, un-
der the provisions of section 1,508 of the
revised statutes. advanced one grade,
such advancement embracing 56 num-
bers. The section cited applies, how-
ever, to‘ line officers only, and Mr. Hob-
son being a member of the staff of the
navy, could not under its provisions be
so advanced. , ‘ .
In considering the question‘jof sulta-
bly rewardingAssistant Naval Con-
structor ,Hobson forh-ls valiant 'con-
diet on‘ the Occasion referred to, I have
deemed it proper to address this mes-
sage to you with the recommendation
that lie receive the thanks of Congress.
and further, that he be transferred to
the line Ofthe navy and promoted to
such, positionthere‘in as the president,
by and 'with the advice and consent of
the Senate, 'may determine. Mr. Hob-
son's transfer from the construction
corps toethe line is fully warranted,
he having received the necessary tech-
nical training as a. graduate Of the
Naval Academy, where he stood num-
ber one in "his class; and such'actlon is
recommended, partly in deference to
what is understood to be his ~Own de~
sire, although 'he' being now a. prisoner
in the hands of the enemy, no direct
communication on the subject has been
received from him, and partly for the
reason that the abilities displayed by
him at Santiago are of such a charac-
ter as to indicate especial fitness for
the duties of the line. _ ,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
Executive Mansion, June 27, 1898.
The second message was as follows:
To the Congress of the United States:
On the 11th day of May, 1898, there
occurred a conflict in the bay of Car-
denas, Cuba, in which the naval torpe-
do boat Winslow was disabled, her
commander wounded and one of her
officers and a. part of her crew killed
by the enemy’s fire. '
In the face of a most galliu‘g fire from
the enemy’s guns, the revenue cutter
Hudson, commanded by First Lieuten-
ant Frank H. Newcomb, United States
revenue cutter service, rescued the dis.
abled Winslow, her wounded comman-
der and remaining crew. .
The commander of the Hudson kept
his vessel in the very hottest fire of
the action, although in constant dan-
ger of going ashore on account of the
shallow water, until he finally got a,
line made fast to the Winslow and
towed that vessel out of range of the
enemy’s guns, a. deed of special gal-
lantry.
I recommend that. in recognition of
the signal act of heroism of First Lieu-
tenant Frank H. Newcomb, United
States revenue cutter service, above
set forth, the thanks of Congress be
extended to him and to his officers and
men of the Hudson. and that a. gold
medal of hon-or be presented to Lieu-
ten-ant Newcomb, a. silver medal of
honor to each of his officers and a,
‘Ibronze medal of honor to each member
of the crew who served with him at
Cardenas.
It will be remembered that Congress,
by appropriate action, recognized the
several commanders of ships of war
for their services in the battle of Mai.
nil-a, May 1, 1898. The commander of
the revenue cutter Hugh 'McCulionh,
present, and in active co~opcration with
the fleet under Commodore Dewev on
that occasiOn (by executive order un-
der the provisions ofsection 2,757, re-
vised statutes). is the only commander
of a national ship to whom promotion
or advancement was not and could not
be given because he held the highest
rank known to the revenue cutter ser-
v'.ce. - .
I now recommend that in recognition
of the efficient. and meritorious ser-
vices of Captain .Daniel B. l-Iodgson,
United States revenue cutter service.
who commanded the Hugh McCulloch
at the battle of Manila (that officer be-
ing' now in the 63rd year of his age and

A PACIFIC COALING STATION.
American Flag Waves Over Marcus 0!
Weeks, at Doorway of Manila.
San Francisco, June 28.——A special
from Honolulu says the United States
possesses an island suitable for coal-
ing, and even for a naval station, in
the Pacific, nearly 2,700 miles west of
Honolulu, and in the doorway of Ma-
nila. .
It is known as Marcus of Weeks and
is more than half way to the Phil-
ippines. ,
The island belongs to Captain Fos-
ter, commander of a sailing vessel ply-
ing between the Orient and San Fran-
cisco. He found it while out cruising
and took possession. It was at that
time unclaimed and unoccupied. By
consent of James G. Blaine, then seb-
retary of State, the. American flag was
hoisted o‘ver the island and still re-
mains there, the same being sanctioned
by Great Britain and all the, powers.
The island is in 24.4 north and 154.2
east. It is about five miles long and
is densely covered with trees and
shrubbery. It 'has a white sandy beach
and near the center is a knoll rising
about 200 feet above the sea.
It is near the tracks of vessels from
Honolulu to Yokohama and has been
offered to the United States for a
coaling station.
A Third Float from Spain,
Cadiz, June' 28.——It is announced here
that the Spanish cruisers Vitoria and
Alfonso XIII have left the arsenal and
that the Caraca and 1313. de Luzon are
ready for their armament.
It is further reported that an addi-
tional force of men has been ordered to
be employed in order to hasten the
completion of the armored cruiser
Princess. de Asturias.
The auxiliary cruiser Metooro is said
to have received hei- new armament,
and the armored cruiser Cardinal Cis«
name is announced to haVe left Fer-
rol.
The Spanish officials express the
hOpe that the third Spanish squadron
will be ready for sea in five weeks'
time. '
The military governor of Cadiz is
mounting new guns, and is preparing
additional defences between Forts Ro—
ts and Candelaria, owing to rumors of
a. contemplated American invasion.
The Austrian Riots.
Vienna, June 28.--Dispatches receiv-
ed here from Lemburg, capital of Ga.
licia, say the rioting peasants pillaged
Alt-Sandec for several hours on Sat-
urday evening. The houses and stores
in the Ring Square were plundered
and destroyed, their contents being re-
moved in vans, which were in waiting,
to the country. .
An organized attack was also made
upon Neu-Sandec. several miles from
Alt~Sandec, but the cavalry dispersed
the peasants after a. hand to band fight
and Subsequently the infantry surroun-
de‘d'the town. The peasantry, however,
sacked many of the Jewish houses in
the suburbs and set fire to several
buildings. _
Troops have been dispatched to Prz-
emysi, fifty-one miles west of Lemberg,
where disturbances are threatened.
Przemysl has over fifteen thousand
inhabitants.
Clark Gets His Sentence.
Wilmington, Del., June 28.——Thomas
S. Clark, convicted in the federal court

spiring with William N. Boggs, defaul-
ting paying teller of the First National
Bank of Dover, was yesterday sen-tencJ
ed .to five years’ imprisonment and a
fine of $5,000. His imprisonment will
be in the New Jersey penitentiary at

Mr. Jones, Democrat of Arkansas,
made the point of no quorum, and the
roll was called. Forty senators re-
sponded, five less than a quorum. Mr.
Lindsay, Democrat of Kentucky. said
that there were many senators absent
who had voted for the eanlv hour-of

geant-at-arms be directed.Ԥto_xrequest

motion was modified Itofltlhe usual Sen-
ate formula and adopted. ' ‘
At 11.15 five more senators appeared
and the resolution of Mr. Davis was
agreed to without division.
Consideration of the Hawaiian an-
nexation resolutions was resumed, Mr.
Clay, Democrat of Georgia, addressing
the Senate in opposition to them.
The annexation of Hawaii would, Mr.
Clay insisted, start this country upon
a career of conquest, \which was op-
posed to the true destiny of the United
States. He claimed that to make the
present war an excuse for the adoption
of a colonization policy would be 3. vi—
olation of the declarations made in the
Cuban resolutions, and would involve
the country in tremendous difficulties
and possible ruin. He declared that
the United States had no business to
capture the Philippine Islands, as the
war had not been begun for any such
purpose.

‘ _ “Both
my. son and myself have been bothered
with catarrh, it troubling us very'much
alike; the head being badly stuffed up,
while the matter dropping into the
throat caused continual coughing. I
procured a. bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South
Norwalk and we began using it. We
didn’t have to wait long to learn ‘its
value; it relieved at once. My head
and throat are now much clearer than
they have been for some time. 'I will
gladly recommend the medicine to any-
one who is suifering with catarrh. ” '

it will help you, for it relieves at once.
To avoid hay fever in its season, use
C. C. C. now. It is a sure preventative
of this and all mucous diseases. Use
it to break up your colds, and to pre-
vent colds "hanging on.” . Price 50

WHAT THEY STUDY.
The Young Man’s Course Didn't Give Him
'I'imc for the Fine Arts.
A most amusing conversation took
place not many months ago between a,
Chicago young woman student and one
of the opposite sex who was following
{a scientific course in a neighboring
city. The young woman had “gone in"
for art, literature, languages. music,
etc., and was inclined to patronize the
scientific young man, who had had lit-
tle time for such things.
“How many hours a, week do you
devote to literature?" she asked.
“None this year,” was the reply.
“What languages do you study?”
“None. I read German; that is
enough."
“Doesn’t your professor read some
great play of Shakspeare with you?
Don’t you study some great world
poem? Don't you study something
about art or music?"
“No. I have time for none of these
things."
_“I study metallurgy," replied the
young man, who happened to be an em-
bryo mining engineer. I study ther-
mOdynamics.’ 'I study lithology, the -
theory cf probabilities, differential
equations, quantitative analysis, blow-
plping, electricity, hydrodynamics, ore-
dressing, mining law, assaying, pol-
itical economy, the strength of ma-
, terials and several other things. These
I must know something a’bOut'by June
next or my examinations will cause
me trouble. I put in four house at
lectures and recitations and three in
thejabatory five day‘s in the week. Sat—
urdays I work from 8 to 5 in the as—
saying laboratory. I have no time for
fine arts or world poems."——Chlcago

MAKING iwooonimsron sicvcuss.
An Interesting and Lucrstlyo Industry
in Maine. ‘ .
The average annual output of‘wood
novelties in Maine has is value‘well
over $1,000,000. One ofthezmost in~
terestlng branches of the industry is
the manufacture Of wood rims for bi-
cycles. The factory where the manu-
facture is carried on has a, floorspace
of 74,800 feet; its daily Output averages
about 1,800 rims, and the'value ofits
yearly product is about $120,000. The
wood used is rock, maple, and each
rim is composed of three pieces glued
and pressed together 'With such force
and exactitude that the rim appears
like one piece, and only the most
searching examination can detect the
joints. After these pieces have been
steamed, bent, and glued, they are sub—
mitted to an enormous pressure in a.
steam-power machine. They are then
taken to the lathes, one of which turns
the concave surface of the outside,vand
another the convex surface of the in-
side of. the rim. After passing on to
the sandpaper machine for smoothing,
they are stained and varnished and
bored for the spokes, and are ready
for shipment. The wood must be per«
foot, and not the least defect or dis-
coloration is allowed to pass. Much of
the machinery has been designed, ex-
pressly for this plant, and the ma.-
chines as well as all the steps in the
construction of the rims require the
supervision of skilled mechanicsr—St

is something we, as chemists, can
commend, for it is not a secret rem-
edy, but the result of a genuine
discovery. ‘
‘ We have found that Vinol consists
of a delicate and pleasant wine in
which is dissolved the curative prinv
ciples found in the liver of the cod, .
the manner by which this has been
extracted results from the discov-
cry of the eminent French chemists,
Gautix~ r and .Mourgues.
