WASHINGTON, April lb.-An opinion

Naval Constructor Hicbborns Views OF

Naval Constructor Hichborn's Views ON
tho Wreck of the Trenton.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Naval Con-
structor Hichborn, acting chief OF the con-
struction bureau, does not credit the report
that the fires of the Trenton were ex-
tlnguished by floods that came through the
hawser pipes. He says these pipes were
placed on both decks TO allow the heavy
forward gun TO be worked. The effect was
TO make the vessel ride at anchor more
easily than II they had been placed on the
upper deck. In heavy sea the water
would come through them, and complaint
had been made they kept the deck wet
Still they were furnished with rubber
packed bucklers, which, II applied, would
make the pipes nearly water tight, and
Capt HichbOrn says IL is entirely Incredible
that enough water should come through 10
extinguish the fires. Undoubtedly the
cause OF her wreck was insufficient engine
power. The English ship CalliOpe, which
escaped by the bare margin Of half knot
an hour 10 the windward, had a 5000 horse
power 10 2,700 tons displacement The
Trenton had S.i00 horse power, but =

WEST GRANITE AFFAIRS.

st. Louis Stockholders Troscb a scheme to
onset the Directors Action.
II appears that the suggestion thrown
out In the circular issued by the trustees OF
the West Granite company TO consider any
reasonable plan formulated by the stock
holders that assures the necessary funds TO
continue the company's operations has
been taken advantage Of by those who are
opposed 10 the scheme proposed by the
syndicate and circular signed by G. s.
Gardner, +. o. box 6is, has been mailed 10
West Granite stockholders, with a re.
quest that those who are willing TO CO.
operate send their names to the above,
who will notify them OF the time
and place when aud where meeting will
be held to discuss the matter and take such
action m may be deemed necessary. The
scheme set forth In the circular Is 10 organ
ize new company by the stockholders,
who are TO have the privilege OF exchang-
ing their present stock for stock In the new
company at the rate OF two shares of old
stock for one OF new. In addition, they
are TO have the privilege OF buying an
equal number OF shares Of the new stock
al 90 cents a share (which is equivalent TO
80 cents a share for the present stock).
This would bring into the treasury $780,
900, provided all the old stockholders
avalled themselves of the opportun ty of
buying n number OF shares equal W the
number gotten In exchange for old stock.
Those who did not elect To purchase new
stock could leave II In the treasury, and IL
could either be sold nj once To other stock
holders OF be retained In the treasury as
treasury stock. II one-half OF the old stock
holders decided t0 take M much of the new
stock as they would be entitled to buy IL
would place In the treasury $4,000, which
would pay the present Indebtedness OF $780,
900 and leave S2b, 600 as q working capital,
and there would still remain In the treas.
ury l25,OOO OF the new stock, which at
present prices, would yield large amount
In excess OF what the syndicate proposes 10
pay for It.
This Is the plan formulated by the stock
holders In St Louis, who are outside OF the
syndicate and who have objected 10 those
gentlemen who are willing 20 advance
s1500OO. thereby securing a controlling in
terest In fhe Elizabeth company at 80
cents. While the directors suggested in
their circular 10 the stockholders that any
reasonable plan formulated by them would
receive consideration, this was nothing
more than an act OF policy. When the
Helena transaction was contaminated, II
was freely given out that that deal was
final, for the reason that q majority Of the
stock was held In Helena. IL is doubtful
II the new scheme, OF which one q. S
Gardner appears 10 be- the originator, will
effect any change In the plan gotten up by
the West Granite directors.
