PRESIDENT nOCSEVFLT ASK5 IT Of Congress in a Special Message to 1 hat Body-Ttie Loss ro the Navy Will Be Heavy. Washington, Special.—The President has sent to the Senate a message re commending the retirement of Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson, and in accordanc* with this recommenda tion Senator QwHingfer immediately iu- troduced a bill providing for Mr. Hob son’s transfer to the retired list. In his message the President jtves as his reason the trouble that Mr. Hobaon has had since 19d& witli his eyes, and re cited the history of that trouble. It ap pears that in June, 1900, he was ad mitted to the Naval Hospital at Yoko hama, Japan, when, according to the records, he suffered from the weakness of the eyes and retinitis, which infirmi ties, it was slid, had been contracted while on duty in repairing ships at. Hong Kong. In January. 1902. he was examined by a retiring board, which decided that his incapacity was not such as to justify retirement. The President’s message concudes as fol lows: “Without suggestion that any injus tice has been done by this finding, and while in effect pronouncing !t correct, Mr. Hobson states, in a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Navy, February 5, 1902, that OUR WATER POWER. splendid Opportunities Afforded For Its Development. The State of North Carolina is well adapted by nature for the development of water power. Its surface may be compared to the upper face of a huge wedge whose edge corresponds to the ocean shore line, and whose gradual rise illustrates the State’s increasing elevation toward its western border, culminating in the Appalachian Moun tain ridges, where are massed some of the highest peaks east of the Missis sippi River. Among these high forested mountains the rivers o£ the State rise and find their way seaward, at timea with rapid descent., One of-the well defined physical feat ures of the State is a broad strip of country known as the Piedmont Plateau, whose castam border is roughly parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, and about a hundred miles, more or less, west of it. It Ls composed of hard and ancient rocks, into which the rivers have not been able to cut t!|eir way so deeply as in the softer rocks below. Over this plateau many of the streams of the State must pass, cross ing its eastern border in a succession of falls and rapids which furnish ad mirable water power sites. So marked Is this feature, which can be traced ec- tirely across the State, that it has been termed the “fall line.” The fall line must be considered of especial econo mic importance, for along it. ns has been said, occur many valuable water powers, of which some are already in use and others may be developed. Coa- siderable activity has been shown of recent years in studying the power possibilities of the North Carolina streams and gaging stations, conduc ted by the U. S. Geological Survey, which have been maintained on the Roanoke. Neal, Tar. Neuse, Haw. Deep. Cape Fear, Yadkin. Catawba and other streams.

Paris, By Cable.—The Temps Tues day evening publishes a dispatch from Constantinople, which announces that Miss Ellen M. Stone has been released by the brigands, who have held her captive since September 3 last, and has been handed over in good health to the dragomen of the American lega tion. The dispatch adds that the *‘Rer. Tsilka” has been arrested on the charge of complicity In the kidnapping of Miss Stone. The companion in captivity with Miss Stone was Mme. Tsilka, a teacher of Samakov. Miss Stone, while travel ing with Madame Tsilka and a ,iarty of about 15 friends, was captured by brigands in the district of Salonica September 3. Since that time vigorous efforts have been g^adc by the United States government and by missionaries to obtain the release of the captives. The brigands demanded a ransom of £25,000 (Turkish), but only $72,500 was collected for the ransom and this aum was paid over to the brigands by the chief dragonmaster of the American le gation at Constantinople, and W. W. Peet, treasurer of the American mis sion at Constantinople, who met the brigands on the road to the Podrome Monastery.
