TO BE READY FOR WAR
LIBERAL APPROPRIATIONS TO BE MADE
FOR THE NAVY.
Report Of the House Committee on Naval Affairs
Present Condition and Prospects
Of Our Fleet Of War
Ships.

WASHINGTON, January 24.-In its re-
port upon the naval appropriation bill,
the House Committee on Naval Affairs
summarizes the present condition and
future prospects OF the Navy of this coun.
try. The report says: with regard 10 @
new Navy, Congress seems to have settled
upon policy of appFOpriatiug toward its
construction about Sc, OOO 600 per annum.
Your committee believe that this will build
up Navy as fast ss prudence dictates.
Our Navy Department ard our ship build
ers ere utilizing, as flr as may be, byevery
means in their power, the knowledge &C
quired from the costly experience of ether
nations, but they must acquire experience
of their OWL.
100 great haste on the part ofthe Gov
eminent would inevitably result in Goa
fusion and waste, and most probably in
combination instead of competition among
ship builders. Beides it would be an
efsy matter in this country TO build ships
more rapidly than we could supply them
WIN hIlDuuCnt Ol uOIustt4C lnAHuldcture.
Even III England, with all their facilities,
there is loud complaint that the Govern
ment and all their contractors are unable
TO supply guns 70 they are wanted. The
manufacture Of modern high po er gun
is not only an expensiye but a slow and
tedious process
The committee says that the appropria-
ton Of $625, 600 for extending the gun
plant at the Washington Navy Yard, ahich
has proved to be insufficient, will, taken
in correction with other items, be all that
10 Necessary 10 put three different navy
yards in condition TO build the hulls of the
finest moderl vessels, armored and unar-
mored, as well as for the complete equip
ment of a great plant for the assembly of
heavy ordnance.
satisfactory progress is being made by
the private contractors for supplying heavy
gun and armor plstes for rapid fire ma
chine guns, and, says the committee, it will
be seen that Congress, by the passage of
the bill we report, will have taken the last
stsp necessary TO render the Government
absolutely Independent Of the world in
the matter of building and equipping
navy. 1t has been the constant aim of the
committee ard OF tbe Department to pro-
vice for ships the best of their class and
guns equal 20 any 10 the world

HUTCHINSON, KAs., January "a Three
COWBOYS with broad-brimmtd hsts and
heavy boots, left their rancho and went
into Stafford, town 80 miles west Of here,
yesterday. They were not there long be-
fore they began to show the effects Of the
red liquor which they had consumed in
large quantities. At livery stable they
hired a double team and buggy, and be-
gan driving furiously up and down the
streets at q break-neck speed. They yelled
and whooped like Comsnche Indians. But
that fun was too mild and they started 10
shoot out the window panes with their big
siI-shooters.
The msrshal attempted 10 stop the
horses and place them under arrest, when
they openad fire npon him. The fire was
promptly returned by the officer and his
deputy and tusilade Of shots followed.
The team became unmanageable and ran
away, upsetting the buggy, throwing the
occupants o1t and smashing the top Of
the vehicle. One of the men, who seemed
to be badly hurt, cimed into the running
gear and escaped with the team. The
shattered buggy top was riddled with
lead snd the ground vas besplattered with
blood. A posse has gone in pursuit.
