A BETTER NAVY TO BE BUILT.
New York, March 0-To a World
reporter Secretary Tracy said: "Yes,
we need navy, a better navy, and the
people are bound to have one, the best
ships that art and artisans can construct.
We need more. and we shall build and
have more. Within sixty days we shall
advertise for proposals for contracts for
several new vessels"
SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.
WASHINGTON, March Sit is learned
that the reported destruction OF the
Nipsic was not even mentioned at the
Cabinet meeting this afternoon, which
fact is an additional proof that nons OF
the executive departments are in posses-
sion OF information which would confirm
the rumor.
Secretary Blaine was seen tonight and
said he had received no information
whatever in regard to the reported sink
ing of the United States steamship
Nipsic.
SAN Francisco, March 9.-Post-
Captain John G. Watson, who is stationed
here, said, in relation to the report Of
the sinking Of the Nipsic, that he had
seen Gen. Miles and his staff officers, as
well as the naval officers, ana all were
unanimous in declaring that they had
received no such intelligence, and placed
no credence in the rumor.
Henry II. Scott, president OF the
Union Iron Works, said he had heard nc

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Grand.

Why we had two nights of A Poor Re
Iation when Sol. Smith Russell had in
reserve such a capital hit as Be,oitched
in his haversack, is one OF those things
which fellow can't find out. The Grand
was crowded in every quarter, parquette,
loges, dress circle, family circle and
proscenium boxes, and more uproarious
and delighted audience never laughed
Itself into agonies in Los Angeles than
that of last night. The action of the
piece hinges on an Indian Amulet, whose
possession changes everybody's natural
bent and sets him or her to playing all
sorts of odd pranks. The result, as the
amulet is passed around by various clever
devices, is the bringing about of a multi
tude of highly ridiculous situations, in
which the natural characters of the
actors are metanorphosed. The con-
ceit is very happy one, and farce run
mad is the outcome. BeWitched brings out
the whole strength OF the Company, and
it proved itself to be quite clever COM
bination. 1t was rushing favorite, the
curtain being repeatedly rung up and
Sol. Smith Russell compelled to make a
number of his ludicrous speeches which,
if possible, were funnier than the play
itself. The exchequer of the Grand
would have been the richer if BeWitched
had been played on the opening night,
although the engagement was highly
successful one in all respects, packed
houses being the rule.
The Grand will take rest until Thurs
day, when A Hole IN the Ground will hold

ELSEWHERE we give an interview be-
tween a representative of the HERALD
and officers of the California Sewer Pipe
Company on the subject of slanderous
publication in the San Francisco
Chronicle of Friday. Misled, doubtless,
by the statements of rival pipe COM
pany in that city, the Chronicle charged
that the California Pipe Company OF
Los Angeles, which has the contract to
furnish the sewer piping of Fresno, could
not manufacture a pipe that would stand
the required pressure, and that there
fore the authorities of that city had de-
termined to substitute pipe manufac-
tured by the San Francisco company. 1t
will be seen that there is absolutely no
truth whatever in this charge but that,
on the contrary, the Los Angeles pipe is
to be laid in Fresno because it is by large
odds the best and the strongest pipe

and that trial would lead to awkward
results in many high-toned circles. We

his many friends he will, however, give
