Public Scnilmcnl Arouycd.
In 1907 Congressman William Sul-
ger. of New York became an active
leader in the movement to raise the
Maine. His repeated attempts to have
congress consider a bill made him the
butt of jokes in the capital for several
years but in 1910 the wave of public
sentiment in favor of the bill had
growij to such proportions that the
matter became of vast importance to
each individual congressman. The
sudden change of front of the con-
gressmen and the speed with which
the bill was passed and signed fairly
took Sulzer's breath away. An ap-
propriation of $lOOOOO was found to
be too small for the project and was
promptly raised to $300000.
Plan Was Criticised.
A plan was finally adopted that
brought forth volumes of criticism
from the foremost engineers of the
world. The first step in carrying out
the project was taken on September
10. 1910 by a staff of engineers un-
der Captain Harley P. Ferguson who
has been in charge of the work ever
since.
A massive watertight wall was built
around the wreck. This wall or cof-
ferdam consisted of a series of cylin-

were formed by driving down to firm
bottom circular cylinders composed of
interlocking steel piles each cylinder
being built by driving the piling piece
by piece until the cylinder was com-
plete. After this work was finished
the cylinders were filled with clay and
material dredged from the harbor.
The next step In the work was to ex-
pose the Maine by pumping the water
out of the cofferdam.
Cost Was 51.200.000.
Congress voted $250000 to Insure
a continuance of the work. When the
wreck was finally laid bare the en-
gineers found that the Maine had been
cut almost in two by the explosion.
With the beginning of the present
year everything was in readiness for
the refloating of the historic vessel
which was finally floated on- the night
of February 11 within a few days of
the fourteenth anniversary of the ter-
rible disaster. The cost of raising the
Maine was close to $1200000 or near-
ly four times the amount of the
original estimate.

This morning the Great Western
Railway company shut down its con-
struction works at Shindon. throw-
ing out of employment 10.000 skilled
mechanics. The London * North-
western railway has given notice that
after Monday a large number of trains
will cease running while many other
railroad lines and factories have been
compelled to give their men notice
to leave.
At Sheffield many of the works
have continued in operation during
the past week only by the most care-
ful hoarding of coal but even with
this thrift over 251)00 men in that
city have been discharged and on
Monday it is feared that practically
every factory In the town will be
closed.
Not only has the passenger service;
of the railroads been cut down but'
freight trains have been reduced in
number to such an extent that ft is]
impossible almost to ship goods. A
few small collieries are still working.
Wagons from the neighboring towns
from long lines overnight waiting the
doling out of the scanty supply.
Thus far the strike has been car-
ried on with practically no disorder.
The critical moment has now arrived
however and precautions are being
taken by the authorities to cheek.any
outbreaks that might be engendered
by the return to work of non-unionist'
miners. A case In point occurred this
morning in Lanarkshire Scotland
where 200 non-unionists returned to
work. When the men left home the
trade unionists started to raid their
houses. They came into conflict with
the police one of whom was seriously
