The New War Vessels.


WASHINGTON, March ll.-Unless unfore.
seen obstacles are encountered within few
months after the beginning Of the next fiscal
year, July lst. the contracts Will have been
let for the construction Of the new war yes-
sells, which will in the aggregate increase the
tonnage OF The navy by nearly $1,000 tons.
Although the majority Of the new vessels
Mill lie small craft. compared with the mor-
ster ironclads OF Europe, theY Will embody
in their construction the latest approved
ideas, and from their high speed and heavy
armament will be very formidable craft.
When Secretary Whitney relinQuished his
office he lett a. legacy TO bis successor The
responsibility for building eight new vessels
authorized TO be constructed by the Fhtieth
Congress during its first session. The list
includes three 2,000.ton cruisers or gun
boats, vessels somewhat larger than the
Yorktown Oust 6nshed), and similar
TO that vessel in many respects, al
though embodying many new features.
There will be two 3,600-tOn cruisers.
These craft will be smaller by 1,OOO tons
than the new cruiser Newark, but by law
they are required TO attain the extraordinary
speed Of twenty knots ali hour. III this re-
quITement is met aud the heavy ordnance

foe. A great ironclad OF 1900 tons, pro-
tecled cruiser OF $500 tons, and small gun
boat OF 500 tons burden complete the list.
The designs for these vessels have already
been proposed by the naval board and await
approval by the Secretary. Meanwhile, In
Anticipation Of that approval, Commodore
Wilson, OF The Construction Bureau. has
added TO the force OF draughtsmen employed
in preparing the details OF the designs, and
1t is believed that the advertisements for
proposals for building some OF the vessels
could he issued within two months. In adj
diiion 70 the vessels above described Con-
eress at its last session provided for the con-
Struction OF four more cruisers, including
the Thomas cruising monitor, and In an
emergency their construction could be COM
menced within the present year.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1l.-Both houses OF
the Legislature adjourned sine die to-day.
After adjournment the astonishing infOrma.
lion was permitted 10 leak out that all the
bills vetoed By the Governor and repsssed
by the Democratic majority were III such a
shape that they are bound to fail.
The Constitution requires that al billsand
Joint resolutions passed by the Legislature
Shall bear the signatures OF the Speaker OF
The House and the President OF the Senate.
These bills when first presented to the Gov
ernor were only authenticated as prescribed
by the Constitution, but after being vetoed
and repassed they we're simply signed by
the Clerk OF the House and the Secretary OF
the Senate. and in this form deposited with
the Secretary of state instead OF going
through the hands OF the Governor as the
statutes require.
Late Saturday night the Senate passed the
bills for the taxation OF the telegraph and
telephone companies operating in the
State and sent them 10 the House. Some
how the telephone bill was lost or stolen and
did not resch the House, which was ready
to pass it under a suspension OF the rules.

1T. PAUL. MINI, March ll.-An Important
decision was announced By the Supreme
Court to-day in the case OF the Cigar Makers
Protective Union, No. 9S, respondent, against
Contain et al, appellants. In this case II Is
held that the device used by the men,
bers OF the Cigar Makers Union and
placed on boxes OF cigars made by
them indicates only that the cigars are
made by some member Of one OF the unions
and is not legal trademark. The order OF
the lower court Is reversed. There Is no eX-
clusIyeness In the Use OF the mark, which -
held 10 be not q legal trademark. Justice
Mitchell differs IN his opinion from
the Chief Justice. In bis opinion DC
states that the members OF the union
should have the benefit Of the reputation
Of its products IN the market resulting, and
the application OF the symbol by the mem-
beers to articles made by them indicates the
origin Of the articles. Ia conclusion he says; :
The adoption OF this label by the nDion may
be mere device for boycotting those who
employ non-unlou labor, but we cannot as
sumo this as against the allegations OF the
complainant which must be here taken as
true. justice Vanderburg cOncurs IN the

Of 3 10 OF the Supreme Bench.
