WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The naval
beard of policy appointed to formulate
plan for the building of navy CON-
mensurate with the dignity and power
of the nation, in their report to the sec
retary of the navy will recommend the
construction of ninety-two vessels of
different types and sizes: these will be
built according to the plan of the board
in fourteen years, and will cost, to-
gether with their maintenance during
the fourteen years, $3.50, 100000. They
say that the cost of maintenance
or fleet of vessels such
az they propose would be only
one quarter that of keeping up the
same number of old style vessels. The
scheme of the board comprises the fol-
lowing vessels, the estimated cost of
Which, with armament complete, is ap-
pended: Ten battle ships of 10000 tons,
S5'00,OO0 each; eight of 5000 tons,

On Good Terms With Am.

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-The Prussian diet
was opened to-day. The president in
his speech opening the session said it
afforded the emperor-king much Joy to
announce that the foreign relations of
Germany were good in every quarter.
The speech was chiefly devoted to mat
tiers of internal reform, the income tax,
the requirement of private railroads
and the establishment of ieasehold es-
tateS for small farmers. The emperor
also expressed the hope that lasting
peace would be established by the mine
owners and their employees.
The emperor in his speech expressed
pTt'osind sorrow for the death of Dow
ager Empress Augusta and paid a high
tribute to her charity. The finances of
Prussia. the emperor said, are in
favorable condition. Although the rev.
enue for the next fiscal year is
not expected to equal that of 1889.
the expenses will not be decreased.
The matricular contributions for 1891
will be largely increased. The present
favorable conditions do not free the
government from relieving the future
by increasing the redemption of the
national debt. The charges and Bala-
rles of officials, especially of the
lower and middle ranks. and the
expenses incurred in the interest of art,
science and agriculture will be- in
creased. A bill providing for reform
In taxation by extending the scope of
the measure of 1889 to the income tax,
and by transferring the real property
tax to the combined communal dis
tricts, will be submitted. A bill will
also be submitted. providing for the
PURCHASE OF PRIVATE RAILWAYS
and for the extension of the state rail
way network. The harvest of 1889 was
deficient, but owing to the imperial Gus
toms arrangements regarding agri-
culture, it is hoped the effects of the
shortage will be overcome without
permanent prejudice, A bin will
facilities for the purchase of
agricultural estates, or for
acquiring life interest therein. The
recent strikes, the emperor said, had
clouded the prospects of trade, but he
was rejoiced that the employers had re-
moved the Workingmen'S grievances,
and hoped the strikes would not recur.
The government was always willing 10
attend to Workmen'S complaints and
demands. but it would promptly sup
press disorder. The emperor eX-
pressed the belief that the artisan
class would constantly become more
satisfied with their position. Good
ground for such feeling on their part,
he thought, could be found in the sue
cessful operation of the system of work.
Ingmen's insurance in which the gov
ernment was profoundly interested, and
also in the recent Improvement in the
rate of wages. At the conclusion of the
speech there was loud "hochS." under
the lead of Count von Ratibor, president

court to-day. W. Ii. Sanborn appeared
for Armour & Co., Gordon E. Cole for

private palties were interested in the

proposition to Speaker Blakely, of the
Democratic house, to-day that all the
Silver Bow members go home and that
the remaining twenty-five Republicans
and twenty-four Democrats go into one
house and legislate. 1t is needless 10
say that the proposition was rejected.
The Democrats are willing to go in with
the Republicans on equal basisAtWenty--

lIcans refuse. Senator Brown, Repuh-.
lican. put himself on record Monday as
being opposed to the recognition OF
either house, and it is understood
the same position is held by
Senators Olds and Arminefon.
SO the deadlock is as tight
as ever. The general opinion is that
there is less prospect now for break
than there has ever been. The new
constitution provides for indictment by
information. whereas the old law pro-
videS for indictments by a grand Jury OF
preme court decided that until the legis-
lature enacts laws to give effect TO the
constitution the oil law must be the
guide. The result is that prisoners held
