OUR NEW NAVY.
What shipbuilder Says Of the
New Cruisers.


New Cruisers.
PITTsBURa, April ia. G. Buel,
Of the Cramp shipbuilding firm, is
in this city looking after arnor plate
contracts for the war vessels now
under course Of construction. He
said cruisers Nos. ~ and 10 were the
most advanced. No, IL will be
launched in July. The cruisers are
known as commerce destroyers aud
form class by themselves. They
are longer and narrower than the
other cruisers, being 4l6 feet in
length, 56-feet beam and 21-feet
water depth. They are OF 1900 tons
displacement. Each has three
screws or propellors, and must make
twenty-one knots an hour. He
further said:
"When all the ships now under
contract are completed the new
navy will have forty ships, including
the practice vessels, and the general
opinion is If congress will continue
the present progress for ten years the
number of vessels will reach 100.
No, / do not think the present ships
will soon become obsoletes consider
that a great fallacy. We have now
each, d the maximum development
steam and steel, and look for NJ
change for generation at least. A
ship of any class thoroughly effec-
tive iu 1892, will continue to be Sc
for fifty y, ars, If it last d."

DONE IN A HURRY.
A City Ticket Nominated to Com
ply With the Law.

OREGON CITY, April 18.-Some
pretty lively rustling was done Sat
urday, when it was discovered at 2
O'Clock that afternoon that nomina-
tions for city officers had to be filed
on Saturday to comply with the
Australian ballot law, which in the
opinion of III. f., Cross, the city at
torney, applies to the city election,
which is to he held the first Mon
day in May. The discovery led to
the speedy formation of ticket,
and there was great effort TO get
fifty signers before s O'Clock, at
which hour the following ticket was
filed with the county clerk: city
treasurer, f, j. Louis; as, essor, c..
II. Dye; councilmen, First ward,
q. A, Albright, and ]. j. Cooke;
councilmen Second ward, G. N.
Greenman, j. w. Noble, and H, L.
Kelley. Considerable feeling is man
ifested in some quarters, and it is
claimed that snap judgment has
been taken. The county Peoples
party nominations was filed in a
similar manner Saturday, fifty
names being attached.

SAN DOMINGO AFFAIR.
The Whole Story Started Out of a
Little Joke.

New YORK, April 1S.-The Staats
Zeitung received dispatch from its
Berlin correspondent Saturday in
regard to the reported interview of
Minister Phelps with Barou Won
Bieberstein on the San Domingo
affair, which belittles the whole
story. The dispatch states that
Minister Phelps told the correspond
ent he never thought OF asking the
secretary Of state Of the foreign
office for an interview for the pur-
pose of discussing san Domingo.
The American minister talked with
Baron Won Bieberstein iu regard to
the new extradition treaty between
the United States and Germany,
and, in the course of the conversa-
ton, jokingly referred to the con-
cessions made by his government t.
San Domingo without any return.
Baron yon Bieberstein replied jok-
ingly that he did not know America
was exercising "a protectorate oyer
San Domingo, but that Germany
could not act differently. This is
the foundation, the correspondent
says, on which all of the newspaper
stories have been built. The treat
ment Mr.. Phelps is receiving from
the German press, the correspondent
says, is ridiculous. II is said to have
been started by DR.. Hugo Jacob,
editor of the MuDich Allgemeine
Zeitung, and a noted hater of every
thing American, So ends another
international disturbance.

Beating the Interstate Law.


CHICAGO, April 18.-It has been
claimed by the law officers of the
government that it is impossible to
obtain evidence to convict for viola
lions of the interstate commerce law
because both railroad officials and
shippers could refuse to testify on
the ground that they might crimi-
nate themselves. The Tribune, for
an answer to this, prints over page
of fac-similes of documents and at
tested copies, all of which, it claims,
will establish evidence showing nu-
merous violations of law. These
violations take the form of favors to
large shippers in the way of rebates
under the guise of commissions to
clerks. Under the billing of weights
and cars are the manipulation of ele-
vator charges, repay ment of tictit
ious lighterage charges, payment OF
excessive rates for the use of of pri-
vate cars, etc. Among the firms
and roads implicated, according to
the Tribune, are: j. V. Farwell q
Co., Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co., all of Chicago; STAN
dard Oil and Sugar Trust, ]. b.
Manning, Buffalo; Lackawanna,
West Shore, New York Central and
other roads,

Naval Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-After
routine business the house went into
committee Of the whole on the
naval appropriation bill. Pendle-
ton, of West Virginia, opposed the
motion by Holman to strike out the
clause for construction Of one ar
mored cruiser, also Routelle's
amendment for the construction of
two battle ships and two torpedo
boats. Holman addressed the com.
mittee on the bill, aud in the course
of his speech asked, "What emer-
gency required the expenditure of
this vast sum-" He contended that
In brief space American ingenuity
and industry would improvise YES
sells that could meet the most pow
erful ships of any navy in the world.
The people of this country who
wished for plain government
would not approve taxing for a navy
which is beyond our needs.
Fellows, of New York, was glad
the issue is drawn, and hoped the
country, through its representatives,
would be compelled to go on record
at once and forever as to whether it
would continue work which de-
signs to sustain the honor of the flag
and protect the dignity of the
American name, and which is truer
economy than any other that could
come before congress.
Watson, of Georgia, saw no neces-
sity for an increased navy.
Cummings, of New York, favored
Boutelle's amendment and opposed
Holman's motion to strike out the
clause providing for the constr uction
of new cruisers.
Pending further discussion the
committee rose and the house ad-
iourned.

W. p. Carleton Smashes j. X. Murray
on Clara Wisdom's Account.
LOUISVILLE, March 23.-With blood
streaming from wound over the right
eye and his face cut in several other
places, J.. K. Murray, the leading bari
tone in the Carleton Opera company,
rushed from the stage at the Harris
theater late last night, closely pursued
by w. P. Carleton, the treasurer of the
company. The latter has the manage
ment OF the organization while his
father, w. I. Carleton, is in New York.
There has been trouble between the
company and the manager, and last
night in quarrel with Murray, Carle-
ton struck him in the eye. The quarrel
arose about one of the ladies, Miss Wis
dom, who, it is alleged, has too much to
say in regard to the present manage
ment. Just after the curtain had fallen,
Murray approached Carleton and COM
planned that Miss Wisdom had entirely
too much voice in the control of the
company. Carleton replied with blow
that sent the blood streaming from
Murray's face. A scene shifter separated
the combatants, and they retired to
their dressing rooms. The entire COM
pany, it is said, have been dissatisfied
with young Carleton's management, and
several have left since the company
came to this city. 1t is stated that
Murray and his wife, who is one Of the
leading ladies, and is known to the
public as Clara Lane, will withdraw at
| once.

The board OF directors of the chamber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon at
3 O'Clock. There were present Directors
Lankershim, Klokke, Hazard, McGar-
vim, Hellman, Breed, Forman, Hughes,
Edwards and johnson. First Vice
President Lankershim presided.
Gov. Lionel A. Sheldon, who was pres.
ent, stated the results of his trip to
Washington in behalf Of San Pedro har-
Dor. He said that the establishment of
a custom house and bonded warehouse
in Los Angeles was an accomplished
fact, as the bill had passed congress. In
addition to the $4,000 which the tele-
graph stated had been appropriated for
the harbor, the bill also contained an
appropriation-so he was informed--for
the commencement of system OF sur
veys for the improvement OF the out
side harbor. This result was, how
ever, thus far disappointing.
The only hope was that
the bill might be amended in the sem
ate. There was no question about the
earnest interest taken in the matter by
both the senators from this state. Mr..
Bowers had assured him that he was not
urging the interests of San Diego at all, !,
and Mr.. Sheldon testified that Mr.. Bow
ers had appeared before the committee
to speak IN favor Of San Pedro. The
demands for appropriations aggregated
$50, ,000,000 and but $20,000,000 were
appropriated. Los Angeles had no rep
resentative nearer On the north than
500 miles nor ON the south than 100
miles. 1t was very unfortunately situ-
ated in this regard. AS there was still
a chance in the senate it behooved all
who had acquaintance in that depart
ment OF the national legislature to use
their best efforts in that direction.
At the conclusion of Governor Shell
don's remarks vote of thanks was ex-
tended to him by the board for his
efforts in behalf of the appropriation.
Director Hazard offered the following,
which was passed:
Resolved, That the thanks of the
chamber of commerce be extended to
our senators and representatives in con-
gress for their earnest efforts in behalf
Of an appropriation for San Pedro har-
Dor.
The secretary rendered a financial
statement showing balance in hand OF
$974.4 Bills to the amount of $40. 95
were audited and passed.
The matter of new quarters for the
chamber came up, and it was decided to
lay it over for one week to await several
new propositions which we're expected
and to ascertain what could be done in
the matter of obtaining rent fund from
the property owners of Main street.
The board then adjourned.

Two Instances of Their Work Reported

There are horse thieves at large in
this city, and they are getting in their
fine work. When Robert Hargraves,
who lives at the western extremity OF
Temple street, arose yesterday morning
he discovered that fine brood mare
and yearling colt were conspicuous by
their absence.
At 9 O'Clock, also yesterday morning,
a woman saw man enter pasture lot
owned by 0. G. Lord, near the Baptist
college, and lead off mare which had
been staked there by Mr.. Lord. She
supposed the matter to be all right, and
gave no alarm. 1t was afterward found
that the stranger who took the mare
was a thief. Both cases were reported
to the police, and detectives are looking
for the culprits and the animals.
