Island yard with plans and machinery
necessary for the construction Of stee
and iron ships. Naval officers believe
that the action of Congress IN author
izing the construction of new stea n
cruisers ia forecast of the future policy
of this government touching it's navy
that war ships will be OF steel or iron
and that the government will soon ap'
preciate the Importance OF being able &c
build its own ships.
| A prominent official of the navy de-
partment remarked to-day: Nov
that the vexed question OF motors is
out of the way we may confidently ex.
pect to have navy. The great mis-
take of this government was III
undertaking to have its ships built
in foreign yards instead of its own
yards. When wooden frigates were In
| vogue ours were in every respect the
| finest III the world. We had the most
| skilfui and most intelligent artisans.
| and our frigates were the admiration Of
| all the nations in every part of the
| world; but wooden ships are now cut OF
date, and we have fallen behind in the
construction Of iron ones. Sooner or
| later, however, Congress will realize
the importance OF equ.pplng some Of
our yards for iron aud steel ship build
lug, aud i have no hesitation In assert
ing that it will soon be found we can
excel other nations in this character of
ships as we always have done with our
wooden vessels.
The Conklins Case.
New YORK. March %. George
Conkling and his sister, Mrs. Chler,
expect to start for Reno, Nevada, to-
night. The $3.50 in money which Mrs.
Uhler gave to DR.. Amidon for safe
keeping on the night of the shoe ing
has not yet been returned to her. 1t is
ia the possession OF lawyer named
Bennett, and Mrs. Uhler's cour-
SCI say they will begin summary
proceedings for It's recovery this
morning Bling interviewed on Conk
ling's discharge, Assistant. District
Attorney Allen said My opinion az
a lawyer is that Judge Smith had no
ri hit to take the course he did; neither
had he any right to take bail IN thu first
case. His entire conduct in this Conk-
ling matter is extraordinary. ] have
never heard If the killing was admit
ted, and the defense was tina. the Kill
in, was justified. Il was not for
Smith, or any other Police Justice, To
say whether Conkling was innocent CT
guilty. There are probabilities that
Conkling would be acquitted by jury,
but il is fatal and dangerous assump-
ton OF power on the part Of Smith TO
discharge Conklinc. I have authority
for saying that it is rumored that the
facts in the case will he laid before Gov
ernnr Cleveland, and Judge Smiths re
moval dem anded.

cast OF Vanderbilt's ball have given
publicity to extravagant and ridiculous
figures. That upwards Of 81, 600. 600
was expended IS entirely erroneous
The report thai the dubious sum Of
5000, 600 had been expended il floral
decorations alone gives place TO the
truth Of the matter. The cost of the

rooms Is now placed at about $4,000. |

sparkling beverages consumed are esti- |
mated to have cost IS 600. while the |
cost Of the music of the Lander and |
Gilmore bands is said to have been but |
81, 800.
The World, figuring on the society |

lowers, 81 900; carriages. 81 900; hair |
dressing, 81 900. The supper and extra i
servant hire cost Vanderbilt about S25- |
