In his annual report to the Secretary
OF the Navy Commodore Dewey, chief

the work of his bureau during the year
as follows: During the past fiscal year
fifty-three vessels have been either
wholly or partially equipped under this
bureau at an expenditure Of labor and
material of 1904 ,239.
Secretary Tracy in an interview is
quoted as saying: I'VE have set out to
build two ships that will comply with
the requirements of the future. Cruisers
Nos. II and Is will be ideal types of
commerce destroyers. The Pirate Of

do this. am responsible for these two
vessels. have sacrificed their offensive
and defensive powers to speed and coal
endurance. No Captain worthy to COM
mand either of them would think of en-
gaging a war ship on the high seas, but
they will be strong enough to attack anv
steam vessel built for trading purposes
that might be armed in time of war.
The Pirate, for example, could be sent
into the English Channel and stay there
four weeks without recoaling. She could
keep away from the ironclad vessels
sent in search OF her, and could destroy
every ship. that put to sea or returned to
that friendly haven. | designed her
with the single purpose to have ship
that could do what no other vessel can
do. She win be rapid enough to over
haul any merchantmen. do not mean
by this that she will always be able to
run down and capture vessel like the
City of Paris. because in a rough sea it
is quite possible the steamer would out
sail her, but in the average sea the Pi-
rate can squirt for elk or eight hours
faster than the feetest transatlantic
liner"

practice that is not confined to New
Haven. The saunterer along the streets

KINCAID ON THE STAND.
He Tells How He Was Continually
Prosecuted by Taulbee,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The defendant in
the Kincaid trial was put upon the stand to-
day. He testified to the repeated insults
heaped upon him and TO threats made against
his life by Taulbee. He said he fired the shot
because he believed ii was Taulbees life or
his. Kincaid testified that from December,
1887, down to the shooting Taulbee never
neglected an opportunity to assault witness
and to follow him up. Taulbee whenever
no met him used to push him
roughly and persecute him in a small
way. A number of persons communicated
Tauloee's threats to witness, and after that
he did everything he could to avoid Taulbee
On the morning of the day of the shooting
Taulbee seized him by the shoulder, used
MIN roughly w renched his ear, applied most
offensive language to him, and pushing him
away told him to so and hang himself. Kin
caid after this put into his pocket a revolver
which he had bought aftera previous assault
When he was coming down the stairs
to lunch in the capitol he saw
Taulbee and another man on the stairs.
"Taulbee came towards me with his right

to kill me, are youf l retreated to the plat

LINCOLN, Neb., April 1.-ESpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. There were forty five
independents at the conference tonight 1t
was decided to attempt to pass the Newberry
bill over the governors veto; falling in that,
to make no further attempts to secure rail-
road legislation. They have no fear of being
able 10 do this in the house, but are rather
skeptical as regards the senate. In the latter
place, however they say they will get Col
lins to vote with them, notwithstanding that
he had voted against the bill when it was on
its passage.
Those present tonight will suggest to an
other conference, to De held tomorrow night,
the advisabity of the legislature taking q
recess until May, then coming together in
time to as certain whether or not Boyd is to
be knocked out Then the democrats and ina
dependents could combine, revise the old res
olution contest and declare Powers elected.
This resolution, Governor Boyd said, some
time ago, he would not sign. If he should
adhere to this determination, this iudepend-
ent plan would be knocked on the head.
1t was also decided to kill the Omaha
charter. One of the reasons advanced for
this is the tact that under the days labor''

upon the tact Of the Italian press in refrain

The clerical paper, Voce Della Verita,
