(Havana, Feb. 10.—The sun shone brig'htly yesterday when the wreck of the battleship Maine wus decorated with a large American flag. At 9 o'clock the stars and stripes were hoisted at half-mast by ('apt. Eaton, of the auxiliary cruiser Resolute, who with Mrs. Estes Rathbone and Mrs. Dudley and ten sailors of the Resolute, rowed to the sunken battleship. Phe only others taking part were a battal ion of the First Maine heavy artillery. An immense rope of green was fes tooned about the fighting top, each loop hung with laurel wreaths four feet in diameter, and tied with red, white and blue ribbon. The Cuban club of Havana had placed an artificial wreath on the boat crane and this ('apt. Eaton transferred to the peak of the gaff. At 10 o'clock high mass was cele brated in memory of the Maine victims in the Merced church, ait which Gen. Ludlow and several of his staff officers were present. The ceremony, which was very impressive, was attended by Gen. Ernst, representing Gen. lirooke; Commodore I!. .1. Cromwell, captain of the port, and other naval officers, the city council, the executive committee of the Cuban assembly and other mem bers of the assembly, the secretaries of the civil departments and many offi cials, together with representatives of the Havana tire brigade and other local organizations. Tn the afternoon the graves at Colon cemetery were decorated in the pres ence of American officials, military and naval details participating. The graves were thickly covered with flowers. Father Sherman had been in vited by Mrs. Rathbone. who is presi dent of the women's association, to read prayers at the grave, and lie ap peared at the American club, frorv which the procession started, in full vestments and with the assurance that Monsignor Santander, the bishop of Havana, had given (his consent. Com modore Cromwell said that as the •bishop was not willing that a Protest ant chaplain should officiate, he (Crom well) would not consent to the reading of iprayers by Father Sherman. The latter thereupon went to his hotel. Commodore Cromwell said that the sailors felt deeply on the subject, re garding the ceremony of decoration as distinctly a naval afl'air. Therefore he could not permit any except a nival chaplain to officiate. New York, Feb. 10. —A year ago last night the battleship Maine was blown up in the harbor of Havana and 201 American seamen lost their lives. The event was remembered in this city yesterday.

Feb. 16.—The anniver sary of the blowing up of the battle ship Maine in Havana harbor was marked here with the beginning of work on the powerful man-of-war which will 'bear the name of the his toric battleship, the destruction of which did much to precipitate the war with Spain. The new Maine will be built by the Cramp Shipbuilding Co., and at the company's yards yesterday the first piece of the keel of the vttssel was laid. There was no formality in the proceed ings, but the ship yard was thrown open to the public and a great cheer was given by the crowd as ithe group of workmen set in place the first steel piece of the keel. Other pieces of the steel keel were immediately uoisted and placed by the side of the first and thus was started what 'Will be one of the most powerful fighters of the new navy. The Maine will be a sister ship to the Ohio and Missouri, the contract price of each being $2,885,000. She is to have a speed of IS knots, with a length on load water line of ,'isrt feet and a bea-rn of 72 feet 2inches. She will have a normal displacement of 12. 101) tons and a draught of 2:t feet 6 inches.

Crops 111 Southern Statu are Knitted by Zrrn Weather Live Stork Owners Also Lose Heavily. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 15.— Letters from Florida tell of the direful effect of the freeze in that state. The orange grow ers' letters are recitals of ice-bound trees and fruit that is ruined by the cold. The price of Florida oranges ad vanced yesterday in one hour from the receipt of the Florida mail from $3 to $5 per box. The crops about Savannah are a total loss. Early vegetation was blackened and killed by the freezing weather. New Orleans, Feb. 15.—Throughout the state it has been bitterly cold and heavy damage has been done to the vegetable and orange crops, in spite of the warnings that w ere sent before the approach of the cold wave. Rayous Terrebonne and La Fourche are frozen, for the first time since the war. Lake Providence, in northern Louisiana, is likewise frozen. Such an event has not been noted before in the past 25 years. Houston. Tex., Feb. 15. —The ther mometer has made a new low record mark in south Texas, reaching 4 de grees above. The loss to stock will be very heavy. Early vegetables are dam aged to the amount of at least $1,000,- 000. There litis 'been no great amount of human suffering, but cattle are in a horrible condition, having no place to lie, as the prairies are wet and the marshes frozen over. Waco, Tex.. Feb. 15. —For the first time in its history Waco and vioinity has experienced zero weather. Oats are ruined and wheat so seriously in jured as to amount to destruction. The fruit crop is not injured. The Brazos river is frozen from bank to bank and all streams and ponds are covered with ice thick enough for •skating. Great damage has been done to live stock. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 15. —Reports from all over north Texas are that the bliz zard was the most severe in the history of the state. Loss of cattle in Indian Territory and on the l'an-Handle ranges will likely be very large, though accurate figures are not yet forthcom ing. This is the longest cold spell for 14 years. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 15. —All rec ords for the temperatures in Arkansas have been broken and February 12, 1899, will be treasured up in the mem ory of the oldest inhabitant for years to come. The lowest record here was 12 below zero. Fayettevillc, Ark., Feb. 15. —The ther mometer on Sunday registered 24 de grees below zero, which is 15 degrees <-older than has ever been known here. In the large orchards many trees have bursted from the cold and several horses and cows froze to death. PINGREE'S PET MEASURE. It (irt* u llliK-k Rye front LeiclNlatiire. Lansing. Mich., Feb. 15.—At least a temporary Victory was won by the anti- Pingree representatives yesterday when the Cheever-Atkinson equal taxa tion bill was referred by a vote of 41 to 45 to a joint committee, composed of the regular standing committees on taxation, with three representatives added. This bill is Gov. Pingree's greatest legislative hobby and lias for its object the taxation of railroads and other corporate property on their act ual valuation, the same to bo deter mined by a state board of assessors. The 'bill is aimed particularly at the railroads, which at present are taxed mi their earnings. The Pingree men wanted the bill brought before the committee of the whole and passed at once. It is claimed by the nrot.is that the object of the reference was to get all taxation bills before a joint com mittee, and from them evolve one upon which all factions can agree. ON SCANT RATIONS. People 111 Colorado Town* Stiller from a l''ood Shortage. Denver, Col., Feb. 15. —Seven men on enowshoes arrived at Leadville yester day from Kokotno. They say that Ko komo, Carbonville, Robinson, Climax and surrounding towns are out of pro visions except a small quantity of flour and potatoes, which is doled out spar ingly. The coal supply is also ev hausted. While the people are not yet starving, they are iu serious straits. All the available men from the towns along the South Park high line are shoveling a road from Robinson to Pando, on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, which place they hope to reach by Friday or Saturday. The dis tance is only about, ten miles, but t4ie snow is packed so hard that only two or three miles a day can be cleared. Provisions will be taken to Pando from Leadville and will be rushed to the fam'ine-strieken towns as soon as pos sible. All the mines in the district have shut down for lack of fuel.

A BIG LOSS TO UNCLE SAM. 1 Portion or tlie itrooklrn IVavy V«r<l la ItcNtroycd bj Fire—Valuable .Mod el* « on»umed by llio Klumo. New York, Ft»b. 10.—Over $1,000,000 worth of government property was de stroyed by fire which started in the large machine shop of tlie Brooklyn navy yard known an machine shop -No. 28, last night, and the working's of the navy yard have received a serious set back. .Many fine models and patterns of battle hips, their parts and plans, were destroyed and some of them can no>t lie obtained again except by going over the work mapped out in the be gin 11 ill g. A great number of the mod pis were simply copies of plans, draw ing's and specifications now in the store rooms of the department at Wash ington.and these can be replaced at any time. The fire was first discovered at 6:30 p. ni. 'by the man on 'itie watch of the battleship Massachusetts. He imme diately notified the fire department. The men of the Massachusetts scurried down to'the shop about 300 yards away and with the aid of a hose reel got a small stream playing on the fire. The building was about 100 feet in width and 325 feet long. It was four stories in height and built of stone and brick. The wooden inside was saturated with oil and the flames raipidlv gained head wav. It was seen that the Massachu setts men could do burt little against the blaze and an alarm was turned in for the engines in the neighborhood. The flames had then neveloped the great machine shop and attention had to be paid to the foundry and other buildings in the vicinity. Several times the flames got a start on the foundry roof, but the firemen quickly put them out. A small corrugated iron building in the rear of the machine shop was burned, but the loss on this is insig nificant. The firemen pumped huge streams of water into the blazing ma chine shop, but all efforts were fruit less. The fire made such rapid pro gress in the machine shop that by 8:30 the officials of the navy yard pro nounced it an utter loss. Machine shop N'o. 28 was occupied by the coppersmiths, boiler makers, car penters and machinists. About 000 people were employed there, but only two watchmen were in the building at the time of the ouitbreak of the fire. Aside from being filled with a great mass of machinery* more or less used, the building was occupied as a pattern and model shop. CASTAWAYS RESCUED. ,l|l*»lnu Member* of tlie William Law rence'* Crew a re Krou:;li t Into I'ort. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 16. —Kvery mem ber of the crew of the wrecked steam ship William Lawrence i»as been saved, but only after the greater number of them had suffered terrible hardships. I'lie tugs Cambria and Cynthia came in last evening from the sea islands of South Carolina, bringing with them ( apt. Willis and 13 men, constituting those who had been missing since Sun d:iy morning, when the ship was aban doned in the breakers off Port Royal bar. The tug Cambria left here Wed nesday morning and searched every island and inlet northward until the castaways were found. At 0 o'clock the party were discovered on Hunting island and taken on board tiie Canf bria. Capt. Willis a-.id iris men had suffered greatly. Tfcvy left the ship at 0 o'clock Sunday morning. After 12 hours at sea in a freezing gale the two boats under the ca|#ain and the first officer made land on Capers island, a desolate little sand spot. In beaching both of the boats were smashed and flic men thrown into the surf. Though almost exhausted and numb they man aged to scramble beyond the reach of the waves. There was no fresh water, no shelter and little fuel on the island. The cap tain had a few matches and a fire was made under the lee of a sand dune. The limited fuel kept the men from freezing to death. They hovered over the little blaze all during the snow storm of Sunday night and Monday, when the mercury was only 8 above zero. On Tuesday one of the boats was repaired and ! both crews got into it to try to reach I'ort Royal. The men hail been without food since Sunday morning and without water since Sun day afternoon. After desperate efforts they reached Hunting island. Some soldiers were stationed there and the mariners were soon nursed back to life. ON THE ROCKS. The Steamer Admiral Dewey I* ,\*l>ore al Cuttyiiiink, Man*. Boston. Feb. 16.—The Boston Fruit Co.'s new steamer Admiral Dewey, bound from Port Antonio, Jamaica, to this port, ran on the rocks at Cutty hunk yesterday morning and is in great danger of being a total wreck. The 18 passengers on board were safely trans ferred to the steamer John J. Hill, and with their baggage and the mail were taken to Newport, I!. 1., from which point they were brought to this city. The cause of the wreck has not as yet been fully determined, although all the passengers agree that there was a mist on the water at the time the vessel struck. The Dewey left I'ort Antonio February 10, having on board besides the passengers a large cargo of fruit. She experienced good weather until off the Delaware capes, when the storm of Sunday struck her and for 36 hours she had a fearful battle with the terrific sea. tin Monday a terrific wave hoarded the steamer and the quartermaster was swept overboard and lost.

HEAVY EXPORTS OF GRAIN. \1 lieat and Corn Have Advanced lu Price During' I lie I'aMt Week—A .'liicli Hi Her Demand lor Woo) and Cotton. New York, Feb. 18.— K. (i. Dun & Co.'s Weekly lieview of Trade says: Beyond question business is expand ing, and in many branches it is larger, notwithstanding speculative combina tions which tend to reduce it. All mo nopolies or attempted monopolies stim ulate business while they are coining, but tend to stille it after they come, and the throng of combinations and trusts which have been formed have given a temporary but very question able impetus to tradij. But beyond the influence of this there is a genuine en largement of business. The week's output of pig iron Feb ruary 1 was 237,f>3'J tons, against 243,- 516 January 1, and 235,528 December 1. The average weekly production thus indicated was about 1.000 tons greater in January than in December. The stoppage of several furnaces for re pairs at a time when the demand is most pressing has caused some fear of famine, although quite a number of other furnaces have started s'inee Feb ruary 1, or are about fo start. Pig iron has advanced, but tlie largest consump tion ever recorded in any month is in part due to the hasty purchases of products alxmt to be advanced in price by a combination. But the rise of $1 in steel rails, with the entire capacity of all works engaged until after July I, is not unnatural, nor the strength in plates, and the same is true of bars. No fictitious demand has caused the rise in grain, for the exports continue so heavy in wheat and corn that the advance of 314 cents in wheat is abun dantly justified and the rise of ;'j cents in corn seems scarcely enough for the occasion. Nor does t he foreign demand for cot ton abate, though the price has again been raised three-sixteenths during tin past week. The exports have decreased some. There is much more inquiry for wool and the manufacturers have a larger demand for heavy weight goods, but they maintain that they cannot pay prices now demanded for wool and most of the purchases made appear to have been at some concessions. Failures for the week have been 178 in the l iiited States, against 295 last year, anil 18 in Canada, against 35 last year. .tliiKt I'A ) lor lliot LOMPK. Springfield, 111., Feb. 18.—The su preme court has aflirmed the judgment of the lower court in the case of Chi cago vs. the Manhattan Cement Co. The question involved was the consti tutionality of the law which provides that cities and counties are liable for three-fourths of the value of property destroyed in riots. The cement com pany had a lot of cement in a car in Chicago during the railroad riots in July, 1894, which was destroyed by the burning of the car. They recovered three-fourths of its value from the city, from which judgment the city ap pealed. This decision establishes the constitutionality of the law. Found No Trace ol Adds Chicago, Feb. 18.—Samples of the canned beef American soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico said was unfit for food were tested chemically and analyzed with respect to fitness for food by ex pert chemists employed by the Chicago Tribune. The result of the analysis shows that in the cans submitted there was 110 trace of either boric or salicylic acid or any other chemical preserva tive in the meat, aside from salt, and that the high temperatures of the Cu ban climate in all account ed for its apparent unfitness for food when opened by the soldiers. tddK to Itlver and Harbor 11111.

Chicago's Comptroller of the Cur rency on Gold Standard. l'rcxldcnt >leK 111 ley'* I'oxitlon ok the tlueHtlon Clearly Itelleetcil— Y\ IMIIOIII of tlie Pres ent System. At the Lincoln day celebration of the Marquette club of Chicago, the city's comptroller of the currency, Charles (iates Dawes, one of the principal speakers of the occasion, took for his topic "Currency Be form," speaking as follows: "Tin- question of the changes in our pres ent law which should be mailt- in order to carry out the will of the people, as ex pressed In 18H1). in favor of sounil govern mental money an<l the gold standard, is one which confronts the country, and which, now that the clouds of war have lifted, is again receiving careful and general con sideration. The year 1893 had ikmon itrated (hat our present monetary system, when subjected to the severe test of com mercial panic, and a delicleney in govern mental revenues, had an inherent weak ness which, before that time, had not been generally recognized. "This weakness resulted chiefly from two causes. The first cause was the dispropor tion existing between demand govern mental currency liabilities and the gold in the treasury with which to redeem them. The second cause was the fact that when these dein:ind liabilites were once redeemed in gold tiny could be paid out again for governmental expenses. This enabled the public, coming again Into their possession, to again present them for redemption, and thus was created what was known as the 'endless chain.' "Recognizing the duty of action incum bent on him and his party, the president of the United States, in his first annual mes sage to congress, made the following rec ommendation: 'That when any of the United States notes are presented for re demption In gold and are redeemed in gold, such notes shall be kept apart and only paid out in exchange for gold. This is an obvious duty.' "In his last annual message to congress he repeated the recommendation in the fol lowing words: 'ln my judgment the pres ent condition of the treasury amply justi fies the immediate enactment of the legis lation recommended one year ago, under which a portion of the gold holdings should be placed in a trust fund, from which greenbacks should be redeemed upon presentation, but when once redeemed should not therefore be paid out except for gold.' " The speaker then reviewed the course of monetary discussion subsequent to the president's first recommendation. He maintained the proposed preference of the noteholder over tlie depositor, as indicated in the later plans, would be most injurious to tlie general business community, saying: "As a fundwnien* tal principle of inherent justice the rights of a note-holder and depositor against the common assets of the bank to which their money has alike con tributed should be equally sacred." He continued: "What will be the effect of enactment into law of his principal recommendation? Its simplicity should not obscure its great value and importance. It will accomplish the following results, all of which relate directly to the safety of the gold standard: "With this trust fund in existence, de ficient governmental revenues cannot eat away the foundation of governmental cur rency. The practical effect of the inability of the secretary of the treasury to use the trust gold fund for currency expenditures will be to require the adjustment of rev enue laws by congress to meet the emer gency. In the second place, with this trust fund in existence, if it is necessary for the government to borrow money lie fore congress can change the revenue laws so as to provide for a deficiency, it will borrow under more favorable conditions. I'reservlnjsr Gold Standard. "In the third place, with this trust fund in existence, the preservation of the gold standard by the direct act ijf the presi dent and the secretary of the treasury, which occurred of necessity several times in the years 1894, 1895 and ls;ifi. would not be absolutely necessary until the trust funds were exhausted by the redemption from it of an equal amount of currency li abilities. "In the face of the unquestioned ability of the United States to furnish at all times, through currency legislation, revenues suf ficeint to pay current expenses, the ab sorption of a portion of the present surplus gold holdings into a fund for the better pro tection of the demand currency liabilities of the treasury can incite no reasonable op position. "The early segregation of this fund, which cannot be drawn upon for the cur rent governmental expenses, increasing, as it will, the immediate importance of »de quate revenues, cannot but have a bene ficial effect iv making more prominent that relation, which, more than any other, is vital to the success of both governments and individuals—the relation of existing income to existing expenses. "111 his second annual message the pres ident omitted the specific recommenda tion that National banks should be allowed to issue currency to the par of the United States bonds deposited as security, lut renewed in strongest language his recom mendation for securing the safety of our governmental currency system by setting aside a trust fund in gold from which, when once redeemed in gold, greenbacks shall not thereafter be paid out except for gold. "It is impossible, under all the circum stances, to construe this otherwise than as an evidence of the great importance at tached by him to this special step in gov ernmental currency reform, and an inti mation that no projected measures in volving national bank currency 01- branch banking extensions should be allowed to interfere with the passage of a law em bodying this great safeguard to govern mental currency credit. "ISaeh of these latter propositions can be cohsidered independently and should be so considered, if either, attached as a ridel to the pro\ ision providing forgovwnmental currency reform, tends to lessen its pros pect for enactment into law. "I.et us remember that under the pres ent system, in which government bonds stand as .security for bank notes, every hank note is as good as a government note. Ahether one bank or all the banks issue lotes. In 110 class of laws are experi ments more dangerous than in currency • aws. With existing prosperity, increas ing confidence, and growing credits, it Is .ii tier to lie const rvative than radical, and o provide treasury reserves tor the day if panic rather than bank asset notes for lie day of speculation." If The stock of gold in the treasury s going slowly downward. There are -evernl reasons, however, why nobody s alarmed at this condition. The gold fund is higher than it c\er was before intil a few months ago. It is likely to •tart upward again when, a few weeks ir months hence, the gold importation els in. A.I the currency in thecoun ry is as g tod us gold, and w ill be kept •o while Ihe republicans remain iu power. These and many others which •ould be cited are the reasons why ro liody is paying any attention to the igtires ol the treasury gold fund these Ju^s. —St. Louis (jlobe-Democrat.
