THE NEW BATTLE SHiPS.
Progress on the Hearsarge, Kentucky and
Illinois.
Norfolk," Va.,‘ Jan. Ila-Portions of
the mounts for the thirteen—inch guns
of the first class battleships Kearsarge
and Kentucky have arrived at Newport
News. They will be put on at once. ..
The shir‘s were to have been turned
over to the government on the second
of this month, but unforeseen delays
occurred and now the builders say that
they will be completed on July 1.
The machinery of both vessels.is $15
per cent. completed, and the bulls 85
per cent. ‘ "" .
All the larger armanent of the ships
will be placed before the vessels are
turned over to the. government. This
is necessary in the case of the thirteen-
inch turret guns. The turrets for the
eight—inch guns are built on top of the
turrets in which the thirteen-inch de—
stroyers are placed, and before this
can be done the larger Guns have to
be put in position and the turrets built
over them. , \

Canned Beet Killed a Cat.
Newport, Jan. 17.--The “embalmed”
,- »‘oeef controversy in the army recalls
the sickness of half the members of a
battery of the Fourth Artillery, which
returned early last fall to Fort Adams
fromISantiago, via Monitauk Point.
A few weeks after their arrival at
Fort Adams, the battery mess was
served with canned roast beef at one
of its noonday meals, and before four
o’clock of the same day' about fifty
members were either under treatment
at the post hospital or had been sup—
plied with an antidote.
After the patients had suffered from
various maladies, supposedly the ef-
fects of canned beef, 3. number were
discharged from treatment during the
same evening. while others were car-
ried a-longer time on the sick list. A
test: of the canned beef was made at
the post hospital by confining a cat
over night with a good sized portion
of the same beef which had made so
many of the battery men ill. .
The next morning the cat was found
dead, and quite a portion of the beef
had been eaten by the animal. At the
time of thisnincident it was currently
reported that the artillerymen’s ill-
ness was due to overloading their sto-
machs while in their weakened condi-
tion after the Santiago campaign.

Pi‘ttsburg, Pa., Jan. 17.—-This week

coal operators and the United Mine
Workers over the inter-state agree-

It is understood that the operators
will energetically oppose an advance in
the price of mining and will‘flght to
the end any agreement looking toward
an increase in the present rate of wa-
ges. =
The‘business, they admit, has been
better during the last’ ninety days than
for a long time, but they are hampefed
by a lack of cars for transportation. '
Some of the miners’ delegates say
in wages and the eight hour day.
Somt hint lthat if the demands are
not complied with a. strike of greater
[magnitude than the co ntry has seen
for years will be inaugurated next
month. '

“BILLY RAILROAD,” THE GOAT. '
He Is Owned by 3 Railway and Is Worth
. Big Money. ‘
The International and Great North-
ern Railroad of Texas has,a trained
goat in its employ: The gout receives
no salary for his services. but he 're:
ceives the best of treatment and seems
to fully appreciate the important po-
sition which .he holds with the rail-
ioad corporation. This goat is used
to load sheep on cars, and is ‘well
known to all the shippers along that
line of road. He was raised in Mexi-
co, near the town of Lampazos, on
~the line of the Mexican National Rail-
road. To all appearances he‘was only
surprise of, his owner when, about ‘a
year ago, the goat, otvhis own free
will, paid a visit to the stock pens at
Lampazos, where a shipment of.“ goats
was being loaded, and led a big flock
of stampedcd animals-back into the
pens and into the cars.
The value of this particular goat
was quickly recognized, and for sev-
eral months he had regular ”employ-
ment as leader in rounding up and
loading shipments of goats at Lam-
of the Mexican National. He had the
Mexican name of “Guillermo Ferro
carril,” ,w-hich iin - English meant:
“Billy Railroad.” A few months ago
a large shipment of sheep was to be
5made from I.aredo,.Texas. on the line
of the international and Great North-
ern road. “Billy Railroad” was sent
for, and he handled the big flock of
sheep better than a force of twenty
men could ‘have‘ done.
“Billy" has been employed at al—
most every shipping place on the line
of the International and Great North,
ern road, and his value is appreciated
to such an extent that a large price
was offered for him by the Southern
Pacific company. He is now owned
jointly by the Mexican National and
the International and Great Northern
ro-ads;-Cliicago Inter Ocean.
