THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.


Some Figures on the Cost of Running
Our New Navy.
Commodore Dewey. chief OF the bureau
of equipment and re ruiting of the Navy
department., has made his annual report
to Secretary Tracy. lie asks for an in
crease in the appropriation over the past
year on account of new vessels. These
vessels have a greater steamer capacity
than the old ones, and thus the fuel bill has
become greater. During the year the
Dolphin used So, 00G worth of coal, and
as it is proposed to keep twenty-five
vessels in commission all the time tho re-
port estimates the cost of coal to be $751;
900 per unnum.
On June 80 last there were 8, 147 enlist
ed men and apprentices in the navy The
report recommends a more rigid stand
ard regarding the citizenship of those who
enlist, and says that hereafter every man
or boy who offers to enlist should be native
born Americans OF a naturaliZed Ameri-
can, or declare his intention to become a
citizen.
At a session of the international marine
conference, the other day, three important
amendments were adopted. The first was
on motion of the delegate from the Neither
lands, as follow
In making any course authorized or
required ty these regulations a steamship
under way shall indicate that course to
any other ship which is in sight by the
following signals on the whistle-namely,
one short blast to mean u am directing
my course to starboard:'' two short blasts
to mean II am directing my course to
port;'' three short blasts to mean 81 am
going full speed estern.n The use of these
signals is optional, but if they are used the
course of the ship must be in accordance
with the signal made.
The second amendment was on motion
Of the delegate from Great Britain, pro.
viding that in clear weather at sea no
vessel shall attempt to Cross the bows of
the leaders of any squadron Of three or
more ships of war in regular formation
nor unnecessarily pass through the lines
of such squadron. The third requires all
towing steamers to display an ad-
ditional bright white light six feet above
or below the regular lights.
Mr.. Window Sustains Treasurer Huston's
claim that money sent by him to National
banks and others in exchange for silver
certificates or legal tender notes of large
denominations and deposited with the sub
treasurers is government money until it
reaches the consignee and that under its
contract the United States Express COM
pany must carry it at contract rates. This
is regarded as an important decision and
will affect the receipts of the express
company considerably. Under this con-
tract a package of money sent from the
treasury to st. Paul or an equal distance
would be charged but Is ceuts, while
under commercial rates the company
would get S1.2j or the same service. The
company declined to carry money at the
former rates, thus raising the question
which the Secretary has Just decided.

A San Francisco dispatch says: Charles
Montgomery, owner of the American
Exchange hotel in this city. who is well

Over two years ago Mr.. Montgomery
met a young man who gave the name OF
E: Glenncross Grant, and who had iden-
titled himself with the Young Mems

took an interest in him and finally formed
a partnership with him, organizing the

that Grant had contracted debts and had
also appropriated the proceeds Of the sale
OF machinery, amounting to about $50
OuO. Grants record has been looked up.

Minnehan, employees Of O'sullivan..
The last witness said that he went to
O~'Sullivan's house last Sunday evening at
the request of Attorney Donahue. They
talked the case over among themselves and
each man heard what the other was going
to testify to. The Hylands were there
and rehearsed their stories.
Patrick Brennan, another employe Of T.
O'Sullivan, said that on May 4 they had
supper between z and 8 o'clock. The wit
ness was not out OF the house all the even
ing. He saw O'Sullivan and Mulcahey go
to bed about 8 O'Clock.
Cross-examination by Mr.. xHynes:

Sunday evening"
"Yes, SIR"
"Whom did you see there!"
"Mr. Donahoe and Mr.. Forrest.
IBID you know that they were going to
be there"

were you mott"
Yes"
"Who did you go there withy" ~
"Janes Minnehan."
The witness said that he went to Mime.
hans room on Desplaines street last
Sunday evening. and from there they
went to O'Sullivan's. Nothing was said
about the Cronin case on the way out.
They were surprised to find the lawyers
at O'Sullivan's house upon their arrival.

house during all of the evening Of May 4.

cago avenue and North Clark street, the
man who is supposed to nave sent the
money to Winnipeg for Burke's defense,
and also to hav furnished the meals to
Burke after he was pla ed in the Jail in
Chicago, was the next witness.
II was in my saloon on the night of
May a." he said, shaving come there be-
tween 6 and Z o'clock that evening. 1
know Martin Burke, and he was there at
that time. I relieved my bartender, a
man named Gleason, and was in the saloon
all the evening. Burke remained in my
place until between 8 and 10 O'Clock, when
he went out. The evening of May 5 Burke
was again in my saloon. F. Ii. Nolan,
Fat Cooney and a man named Finley were
also i'll my saloon that night"
On cross-eXamination Danahv denied
having sent money to Winnipeg for
Burke's defense; admitted that he ordered
q restaurant to furnish Burke meals in
jail, and denied he ever called Cronin a
spy, accompanied with a vile epithet.
Finally Mr.. IIynes asked: "You knew
that Burke was openly charged with be-
ing an occupant of the Carlson cottage.
Why didn't you publish the fact that
Burke was i'll your saloon the night Of
May 4. and therefore guiltless Of the muir.
de-e'
81 did not want newspaper notoriety,
because it would injure my business"
THAT fact then causes you to let your
best friend suffer under this charge Of a
terrible crime, and you would not show
his innocence because it would cost you a
small sum Of money"
YES"
"Have you not expended a large sum
paying for Burke's meals:?"
"Hcs.", TO-
"Who will repay the moneyT
''No one."
bHIahy was corroborated by William
f. Coughlin and Francis P. Gleason, both
members of Camp 90.

GREAT COMBINATION.
RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION ON FA-
CIFIC COAST BUSINESS.


A fac Alliance Between the Rock Island
aud Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee, by
which a New Route 10 California Is Es-
tablishcd.a
Chicago telegram: By far the most
important railroad deal that mas come to
pass for years has been completed. It is q
combination between the Chicago, Rock
island & Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
u Santa Fe railroads, whereby q through
line between Chicago and California points
is formed as u rival of the Union Pacific
and the Chicago & Northwestern alliance.
The matter has been in negotiation fer
some time and the final details of the ar
rangement were finished late yesterday af-
ternoon, and the contract duly signed by
the proper officials of the interested COM
panies. 1t becomes operative at once.
1y tue terms of the contract, which is
made to cover a long period of years, the
Rock Island and the Atchison bind them
selves to the operation of a through line
between Chicago and oil Pacific coast
points for the handling of transcontinental
traffic, the line to be known as the Rock
1s1anl e. Santa Fe route. The junction
point Of the two systems in the formation
of this line is Dodge City, Kan, where all
east AMI west bound business will be trans
ferred. The entire route is made M miles
shorter than that now i'll operation by the
Santa Fe alone.
Furthermore it will make the shortest
ronte in existence from Chicago to all
California points south of Los Angeles,
while to San Francisco the distance will be
only 222 miles greater than by the North
western and Onion Pacific.
The Rock Island and the Santa Fe are
strong competitors between Chicago and
the Missouri river, and also between Chi
cago and Denver. The agreement does
not affect their relations in this respect
except that it binds them to harmonious
action in all matters affecting rates. and
will compel them to keep faith with each
other wherever they come i'll competition.
Tho traffic contract applies only to
Pacific coast business. The Santa Fe will
continue to control all its own traffic to
and from points in Kansas, Colorado,
Indian Territory, and Texas, AMI will
handle all business over its own line be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City except
that destined to or originating at points
on the Pacific slope. The officials of both
roads are we'll satisfied with their con-
tract and expect to prove very soon that
the alliance is an immensely beneficial one
to both properties.
One great advantage is claimed for this
limo over that of the Union Pacific: 1t
crosses the continent in a latitude that is
FREQ from snow %blockades, and will in all
probability be able to make better aver.
age time during the winter months than
its northern competitors.
