Cruisers to he Built at the Government
Yards.
fBy telegraph 10 ms Dispatch.l

WAsHrNaroN. September 18.-Sccretary
Tracy today finally decided ~ build two
OGO-ton cruiser. in the Government navy
wards. Before taking this action he made
inquiry of the LEADING ship-bWlders' firms
as 20 whether There was any possibility or
modifying the designs for the vessels, re-
taining meanwhile the fun strength and
spccd. so as to secure bids within the
limit Of cost fixed by Congress. The ship
builders were of the opinion that tins
could not be DONE One firm replied that
under such circumstances they could r.
ducc their bid 10y $4,000. but this would
still leave the bid far in excess OF the APP
propriati0n. Secretary Tracy regarded
The law as mandatory upon him 10 con-
struct the ships. and that he had the dis
cretiOnlTv power 10 build them IN the
navy-yards If the bids were too high III his
Judgment, oven if they fell within tho
limit fixed by Congress. SO today, as
already stated, he decided 10 undertake the
work and orders will be Immediately is
sued 10 carry out his intention. One yes
sci complete will be built Of the
Now York navy-yard IS well a. the
machinery for the other, while the hull and
boilers Of the second vessel Will e con-
structed at the Norfolk nayy-yard. BY
this Arrangement one set of patterns can
be made to serve for both ships being first
used IN New 1Ork anu then sent 10 NOT-
folk. 1t was believed that under ordinary
circumstances both vessels could be con
structed NJ New York. but that yards now
pretty well occupied with work. and II was
also the SecretaIy's wish TO distribute az
far as could be done, having a due regard
10 economical construction. II might be
mentioned that the wishes Of the Califor-
min pconle 20 have the vessel built at the
Naro-Island navy-yard were carefully con-
gidercd. but the fact that the cost Of the
ship would probably be increased by At
least $3.50, 600 by building 1t there was sufh-
ciens to turn the scale against it in tho
ur.sent instance, where the most rigid
economy must be observed 20 make the
cost approximate the money APPROPRIATED
by Congress. Secretary Tracy is hopeful
that ne viii be able TO build q ship az Mare
island soon after the plant - in place.

ALASKA is a yet m almost unknown
continent. So vast is its extent, SO varied
Its climate, and 8 great its resources.
that every new region penetrated sur
prises the world. 1t is now stated that in
Southern Alaska is a region of country
greater in extent than the valley of the
Mississippi that has a climate superior
to New England. and it is said to be the
greatest cattle country on the continent.
Its forests are thousands Of miles in ex-
tent, its rivers and streams TEEN with
fish. Its mountains are said to be full of
gold and silver, and its soil susceptible
OF the highest cultivation. Most persons.
In speaking Of Alaska. Immediately think
OF ice and SNOW. They do not imagine
that il has greater area than the United
States, and extends through thousands
OF miles OF latitude. Southern Alaska ia
not dissimilar in any respect to WASH

A DEBATE.

That Held by the Colored Debating So
ciety on Woman Suffrage.
The Colored Literary and Debating So.
ciety OF this city held q symposium last
evening at the church corner of Idaho and
Mercury streets. All shades of the colored
population were present, and a liberal
%sprinkling OF whites we're allowed to listen
to the proceedings. The house vas crowded,
and every one was in high feather for ali in
tellectual entertainment of no common or.
der was on hnnd, and the fate of an i'm
portant matter that has long been perplex-
ing the minds OF many worthy people OF
both sexes in this country was to be settled
in controversial style by the giant intelle;ts
of the society and to be laid at rest for all
time.
This was none other than the momentous
question: SHOULD Women Have the Right
of Suffrage" and to the discussion of this
the combatants settled themselves in
forensic array after the meeting had been
opened in due form with prayer and
singing.
w. J. s attn ably led of in a convincing
argument in favor OF the ladies, followed
by Messrs. Sa2er, Johnston, Jacobs. Toll
yer, Lucas and ". 81. Smith, who ~alterna-
ted in their advocacy of the negative and
affirmative oithe proposition. Many beauti.
nj flights OF oratory We're INDUCED in by the
advocates OF the affirmative side OF the
proposition which evoked enthusiastic an
plause from The audience, particularly in
,he amen corner of the church, while the
advocates of the negative side had a
hard row to hoe in appealing to the in
side of the audience. But they
addressed themselves more effectually to
the logic oil the case, craftily remembering
that the committee selected to adjudicate
the question were in honor bound to
it on the merits of the argument,
ton.
Messrs. j. F. Firch. L. s. Schultz and Jas.
Brown had consented to act as arbitrators
between. the debate rs and when they re-
to canvass the arguments advanced
it was found that the policy OF the debat-
ers on the negative side had won the vic
tory over the fiowery oratory Of their an
tagonists, nj when they returned to the
room it was SO announced.
Immediately pandenonium was let loose.
Every colored man and woman were on |
their fest in an instant and the question
vas argued over by a hundred |
oices az once, taihing, gestlcuiatlng |
laying duwo the law to each |
other with the excitement of the race.
Mrs. W.. J. Smith, however, finally got the |
ioor, and i'm q logical and eloquent argu-
nent demonstrated that the committee
lad arrived at q correct conclusion, and |
inally turned the tide in that direction. Al
Fote OF thanks was moved and uuani-
nously passed to the committee, and the
adjourned.

Two Suits Brought Against the Owners
of the Little 81, Lawrence Lode,

Two Suits Brought Against the Owners
of the Little 80. Lawrence Lode.
Two suits were yesterday begun in the
District Court against the applicants for q
patent to the Little St. Lawrence lode in
| Missoula Gulch both ed which involve
! features that are OF inter, st to mine
owners. Both are brought to VERSE the
application for a patent aud in one Of
them 1t 10 believed that t,e subj ct has not
yet been passed upon by the Supreme
Court OF the Territory.
The first filed yesterday wa thai Of
Maria w. Rutherford against j. r. Bor-
deaux, Susan A. Smith, Caleb e. Ir, inc and
g. B. Waterbury. The plaintiff adverses
the application OF the defendants to q
| patent for the Little st. Lawrence lode
claim on the ground OF long previous DOS
session OF The placer claim OF which she is
the owner, which was located at various
times from 1855 up and was sold in 1879
by Rolla and Emma Butcher and Charles
Archibald to the plaintiff and the late Col.
j. G. G. Thornton. The interest OF the
latter al acquired by the plaintiff in No
vember 1883, since when the placer has
been worked every year by her as far as
facilities would admit and is at present
worked by her. The property is situated
in Missoula Gulch south OF the Lexington.
The st. Lawrence was located in 1880
oy Adam Rutherford, James Haslem and
Pleasant Miller, from whom the property
passed through various transfers into the
hands OF the present owners, Bordeaux ct
al, who have filed an application fer q
patent to the lode claim. The application
Was first published October 80, and Mrs.
Rutherford, through her attorney, Charles
ODonnell, tiled her adverse on December
%. and nov brings suit to quiet
title. The question at issue is whether,
she having been so long in possession OF the
placer claim, the owners OF the Little st.
Lawrence lode can get q patent for their full
claim OF 300 feet on a side OF their dis.
covery shaft, or for only twenty.fvefee on
each side, the least to which they are en-
titled. !
The other suit is brought by James
Davidson, NJ. A. Davidson, John Mckinley
and Archibald Mcintyre against the same
defendants as in the previous suit, aud is
also an action to adverse the application
OF the defendants for a patent to the Little
st. Lawrence lode. The plaintiffs by their
attorney, L.. j. Hamilton. within sixty days
of publication OF the notice OF application
for a patent, filed an adver se claim in
the Helena Land Office and in thirty days
thereafter common e this suit to determine
the respective rights of the claimants. The
plaintiffs claim the Jenny Maude lode,
which includes all the ground embraced in
the Little st. Lawrence, and about six and
q hall acres besides. The complai t alleges
that the defendants had forfeited all their
right to the Little St. Lawrence. The
ground in controversy is near the Hope
nine in Missoula Gulch, and the suit is also
in the nature OF an action to quiet title.

LUN4CY INQUESTS.
Cases in Which the County is Put to I'm
necessary Expense.

Cases in Which the County is Put to I'm
necessary Expense.
On Wednesday in the Probate Court al
inquest was held on a man who had beef
committed to the Insane Asylum only
short while before, but who had not beei
discharged cured. His brother, beIisyingb
could accomplish his cure, was givel
charge OF him upon giving a bond for $50,
600 to the asylum authorities. The in
quest and all the attendant expenses wer,
thus incurred twice in the case within a few
months, including furnishing the patient
with a new outfit on zach occasion, all O
which is borne by thecounty. The relatives
OF this patient are abundantly well off and
SO lar as means are concerned could easily
defray all the costs so far incurred.
A similar case occurred yesterday, For
the third time Mrs. Mary Mcmillan was ad.
judged insane by the Probate Court, and
will be taken down to-day by the Sheriff.
Her daughter took her from the asylum
last time, but found herself Obliged to re-
quest that she be taken in charge again by
the authorities.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday Sheriff
Lloyd said that it was unjust to put the
county to the expense of these second in.
quests. He thought that where, as in the
first instance, the estates OF lunatics were
able to besg the expense, it should be
borne by them. and that he intended 10
bring the matter to the attention OF the
commissioners.

REFERRING to THE MINERS assertion
that the electoral college defeats the will
Of the people, the Missoula Gazette"
says: "The fact that Cleveland received
over n hundred Thousand more votes
for President than did Harrison, is prima
facie evidence that the electoral college
will defeat the will Of the majority when
1t declares Harrison elected. 1t seems to
us that the Governors Of states could be
elected by state electoral colleges Just as
fairly as a President is elected now-a-
days, but a majority of one vote in a state
elects a Governor. Is there any good rea-
son why a majority Of one hundred
thousand votes in the Union should not
elect a President =? Probably the Repuh-
licans fear that another 1876 episode
might come, and if the college was abol-
ished the opportunity to again steal the
Presidency would be gone"

A Defendant Who Has Settled His Fine
Wants the Judgment Vacated.
Messrs. Campbell & Duffy fled a motion
in the case OF Territory va. Fielke, in Jus.
tice Hopkins court yesterday to vacate
and set aside the judgment entered the day
before in the case of selliIg liquors to
children. The grounds on which this
motion is made are that proper grounds OF
action are-not set forth in the complaint
and that the defendant was not informed
OF his rights under the statute. The at
torneys claim that the defendant should
have been asked if he .tesired a jury, but
as the defendant pleaded guilty
ON his arraingnent in court,
the justice is unable to see
what opportunity he had to inform the
defendant OF the glorious privilege to
which he a entitled. Not only did the
defendant plead guilty, but paid his fin
and the costs at once, and in accordance
With the statutory requirement hall the
fine was paid to the iuformer then aad
there by the justice, so that, if the motion
is granted, the ext question will be how
to recover the fine. The justice has taken
the case under advisenent, and will decide
it to-day.

But the Police Must Keep Up the Raid
With Undtmfnished Ardor.
The vsg cases against Collins and Doyle
are set for 4 p. m. to-day, and should they
fail to appear, it may be taken for granted
that they have concluded to ave the
authorities any further trouble on their
account. This will suit the authorities
just az well or better than having to try
them and, if convicted, provide ior their
accommodation for the next sixty or
ninety days. The beneficial effect of the
recent raids is already being noticed, there
being a perceptible diminution OF that
class OF loafers about the streets.
OF course, there will be q large
bill OF costs in consequence, but it
viii be eheerfully borne when it brings such
satisfactory results. The police have shown
their capacity TO deal with the nuisance by !
devoting themselves euereetieally to the !
work, and In order to MAINTAIN the present |
condition, win have to continue the work |
with u-ndiminished energy. New corners
make their appearance all time and call
Tor ceaseless continuance OF thesame heroic |
treatment that has brought about the
present results Eternal vigilance on the
OF the police is the price oil exemption
from the vsE nuisance. /
