WANTS MORE BATTLE-SHIPS
Argument of Secretary Tracy Before tho
Sennte Committee ON Naval Af1airs.

Argument of Secretary Tracy Before thc
Senate Committee Naval Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Secretary
Tracy, Admiral Shufeldt and Captain
Davis, of the navy, outlined their views
upon the policy that should govern this
Congress in the work Of building up tho
navy. before the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs yesterday morning.
The Secretary's remarks were in
accord with the recommendations
contained in his annual report. He
advocated the building of eight line-of-
battle ships, at cost of five millions
each. This would give us n fleet with
which we could meet the navies of other
Powers in offensive warfare. The steel
building works of this country were in
position to supply all the material
needed for the ships within six years.
Admiral Shufeldt argued against the
utility of the monitor type of vessels for
modern warfare, and Captain Davis took
issue with him.

the office of some 5000 in cash. Six reg

contents. The registered pouch from
Santa Fe contained several valuable

At tho Entrance of n Chicago Cemetery
Four Souls Hurled Into Eternity In tho
Twinlling of an Eye.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-A husband and
wife were slain yesterday afternoon
while attending the funeral of their
child. The driver of the couples con-
veyance was also fatally injured, as well
rs neighbor who was in the carriage.
A passenger train on the Chicago and
Northwestern railway did the quadruple
killing. Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Payne
we're the unfortunate parents. Simon
Anderson is the name OF the hackman
and Mrs. Reprogal that Of the
friend. The dead infant was a
five-months-old boy. just as tho
carriage containing the mourn
ing father and mother had reached the
cemetery gate at Rose Hill death came
to them. At this point the road crosses
the railway tracks. The hearse reached
the graveyard entrance without any
mishap, and was being followed by tho
Paynes' carriage. No flagman is sta
toned at the crossing by the railroad
company, and the driver of the carriage
did not see the inbound Chicago express
until it was almost upon him. The engine
struck the center of the carriage, and
the occupants were dashed to death in an
instant. Their bodies were thrown about
thirty feet. Both husband and wife
were mutilated beyond recognition. The
carriage was totally demolished. Ander-
son, the driver, was picked up insensi-
BILE. He has several ribs broken, and
his skull is badly fractured. Mrs. Rep
royals injuries were equally severe, and
each died in short time. The nine
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Payne was in the carriage also, but,
strangely enough, escaped with slight
scalp wounds. Fifteen hacks, contain
ing additional mourners, were close in
the rear of the Payne vehicle. They
were unharmed. The driver and the
engineer are each censured for lack of
caution, but the absence of the fagman
seems to have been the main cause of
the horror. A score or more of funerals
enter the cemetery daily, ard trains
pass and repass at very short intervals.
Whether this is the case, the view of
both engineers and carriage drivers is
shut off almost if not wholly, by the
Rose Hill railway station and group OF
saloons

"BufIaIo" Jones' Scheme to Preserve II G
Species from Extinction.

"Buf1aIO' Jones Scneme TO IrescrSe u %
Species from Extinction.
WASHINGTON, Jan. &c. j. Jones,
the celebrated buffalo hunter, who keeps
a herd of buffaloes at Garden City, Kan,
is now in this city on the invitation OF
several public men to advise what ought
to be done to preserve these once numer-
Gus animals from extinction. Mr..
Jones will suggest the setting apart
by the Government Of part of ''No-
Mans-Land" or Utah for herding
purposes. If this is done he says
he will send enough full-blooded and
crossed animals to continue the species,
and the experiments that he has been
making to produce new race of fur
bearing and meat-giving cattle. Mr..
Jones claims to have five distinct species
produced by crossing with domestic cat
tie. The Beach Manufacturing Com
pany, of Hartford Ct, has been expert
menting with buffalo wool gathered
from Mr.. Jones' animals, and shed every
year. The Hartford firm report to Mr..
Jones that they have produced Il
cloth fit for robes or heavy
overcoats which is an exact imita-
tion of the now costly buffalo skin robe,
and they invite continued shipments to
them of the buffalo wool, or hair, for
further experiments, and for the con-
tinuation of what promises to be new
and important industry if the buffalo
station is secured. One of the results
of Buffalo" Jones' experiments in
crossing is the production of fur skin
almost equal in beauty and fineness to
seal or beaver. These furs are so hand
some that the celebrated Mrs. Foster, Of
Ottawa, recently offered Jones two hun.
dred and eighty dollars for enough to
make her coat.

You will observe that a considerable portion
of his report pertains to the scheme inaug-
urated to induce the best class of Swedish
emgrants to come to Vermont and settle upon
what are known as unoccupied or abandoned
farms and you will read the same with lively
interest.
The question he presents to your considera-
ton relates TO the continuance or abandonment
of the experiment already inaugurated, but
not yet fully solved, to induce good class of
emigrants TO purchase lands and make homes
in our midst, thus ministering to the wealth
and prosperity of our state. In considering the
question it will be well to remember that for a
good many years there has been constant de-
probation in farm values. In every section of
our own country, and in all parts of the world,
agricultural interests have suffered severe
depression. In a new and growing country
like our own there have been opportunities for
young men who we're strong, temperate. intelli-
gent industrious, enterprisng and ambitious,
to seek and make fortunes in the commercial
and manufacturing centers, and in those por-
