One Thousand Dollars Day to Feed the

One Thousand Dollars Day to Feed the
Sailors of the Fleet.
WASHINGTON, January 26.-The great
problem before the Navy Department
just now is the management of supplies
for a large force likely to be stationed
for some time at so great distance from
the base of supplies. A fleet of twelve
vessels has been talked of as compe-
tent force to attack Chill, and the estim-
ates which are made are based on body
of this size. At an average of 300 men
to vessel, there should be total force
to provide for of 5000 men. Rations for
this number of men, at the cost of 80
cents per day, would amount to over ST.
600 day for food alone. Coal is another
important item, and the price of this
varies according to the condition of the
market. The coal, which has been pur-
chased at Callao. Peru, has cost all the
way from $14 to 1914 per ton. The Navy
Department has already laid in great
supply of coal, and many tons have been
stored at a Peruvian port, it is said, in
the name of private parties. In all
events the service will not be embar-
raised for want of sufficient quantity
of coal, for what is not actually on hand
at San Francisco and elsewhere is under
contract for delivery. The expenditures
which have been made by the Secretary
for this material have the informal APP
probation of the appropriations commit
tees.

cHILps PREPARATIONS.
Foreign Yards.

Powerful Ships Nearly Ready to Sail from
Foreign Yards.
WASHINGTON, January 27.-Those who
will be concerned in the disposition of
the CHILEAN matter in the committee on
foreign affairs will be soon made &C
quainted with the information in the pos
session of the navy department regarding
the apparent attitude of the Chilians and
the obvious preparations they are making
for war. The Secretary of the Navy has
received intelligence from London that
the Chilians had purchased war vessel
of the Armstrong;, the English ship
builders, and that it was almost ready to
sail. This ship is protected cruiser of
5000 tons displacement, fitted with en-
gines capable of 10, 800 horse power, capa-
Bile of giving the vessel speed of % knots
per hour She has formidable arlna-
ment, consisting of two 81 en-. breech-
loading rifles, eight IL en-. rapid-fire
guns, twelve 3-pounders, twelve 1-pound-
ers, and three torpedo tubes. The same
firm lately built a corresponding ship for
the Brazilian navy. This makes the third
war vessel fitting out in Europe for Chilli,
and each of them is nearly ready to sail.
In fact, if any of them were needed, they
could leave the ports where they are at
present and put on the finishing touches
outside the maritime limits of the coun-
tries where they are now fitting out, and
so spare those countries the danger of
violating the neutrality laws. It is an in
teresting question just what Chill pur-
poses doing with these ships, and those
who feel that war is imminent regard this
feature of Chilis preparations as espe-
cially threatening to the peaceful rela-
lions of the two countries.

But Neither Senators or Representatives
Reach Any Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, January 26.-The SEN
ate committee ON foreign relations held
short session this morning. A member
of the committee stated that no action
was taken on the CHILEAN correspondence
and nothing of importance took place at
the meeting whatever relative to the
CHILEAN situation. The House foreign
affirsa committee also met today, this
session being for the purpose of consid-
ering the Presidents message on the
CHILEAN controversy and the accompany
ing correspondence. An informal dis
cussion of a very general character took
place, but no conclusion was reached,
partly because of the latest phase given
the case by the despatch from Santiago
announcing the substantial compliance
by Chill with the request of the Presi-
dent and partly because of the necessity
of careful examination of the correspon-
dence.

RocKLAND.
Some Complications Over Street Railroad
Franchises.
Especial to the Press.l


RocKLAND, January 26.-On the 9Th
day of January, 1891, petition was re-
ceived from the Rockland Street Railway
Company, asking for location through
certain streets of the city: and at about
the same time second and similar petit
ton was received from the Thomaston
and Camden street railway companies.
After several hearings, the municipal of
ficers formally granted the franchise to
the Rockland company, whose members
were practically the same men who then
controlled the Penobscot Shore Line
railroad, now the Knox q Lincoln rail-
way. They asked for one year longer
than did the Thomaston and Camden
companies in which to have the road
constructed and in operation, their re-
quest being based upon the pretext that
the Knox & Lincoln was to be extended
to Camden that season, and that it they
were compelled to begin operations on
the street railway the work of the one
would, of necessity, embarrass the other
They also claimed that the proposed ex-
tension would be further injured, should
the franchise be granted the Thomaston
and Camden companies by the constrnc-
ton of lines to parallel the steam road.
The Thomaston and Camden compa-
MES, OF rather the Thomaston &. Camden
company, as the two had become united
under one management, petitioned for
franchise whereby they could connect
Thomaston, Rockland and Camden by an
electric street railway, and of these
three towns none would have been better
benefited from these plans than Rock
land. But still greater influence was
brought to bear upon the municipal Off
GERS. At the final hearing before them, a
petition, signed by fully 80 per cent of
the business men, was presented, asking
that the franchise be granted to the
Rockland company.
In the face of these circumstances, the
franchise was granted, defeating, as has
since been shown, the very scheme that
could not have failed to be of advantage
to the city's business interests.
Now the Thomaston & Camden compa-
ny has acquired the charter and franchise
of the Rockland company, and, under
these, will begin as soon as possible the
construction Of road.
At a special meeting of the municipal
officers tonight, the franchise of the
Rockland Street Railway Company was
reaffirmed, with some minor changes as
to locality.
Under the provisions of the franchise
to the Rockland Company, at least one
and one-half miles of track must be laid
on Sea and Main streets on OF before Jul
ly LIST, 1892, and the entire road complet-
ed and in operation on or before Deem
Der LIST of the same year.

ment this afternoon that it was not de-
cided whether the Yorktown or Boston
or both should return to Valparaiso.
The impression is general among naval
officers that the Yorktown will be selec-
ted and that she will be the only Amer
lean vessel sent there for the present.
Capt. Schley, commander of the Balti-
more. arrived here this afternoon from
San Francisco and had long conference
with the Secretary of the Navy in re-
gard to the assault on the Baltimore's
crew at Valparaiso. He had nothing to
say on the subject for publication. He
stated that he expected to remain in
Washington two or three days and then
return to his vessel at San Francisco.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

\ state road convention Will I've held
in this city the latter part OF next
month. the object of the meeting be-
ing to devise means of securing better
roads. The deliberations of the CON
ventiou will very likely take the form
of suggestions, to the general assem-
bly,, for without legislation nothing
can be accomplished. There will he
no more important question before the
legislature than the subject Of better
ing the condition of the public high
ways. The danger appears TO he in IA
multiplicity of ideas which will result
in no important change. Naturally,
many aspiring statesmen would like
to have their name attached to good
road law, but just now it is more i'm
portant to the state to secure the de-
sired improvements than to assist the
ambition of some rising statesman.
In commenting on this coming
meeting the Jefferson City Tribune
saws:
Every county in the state should
send representatives to the Sedalla
meeting because its deliberations will
have much to do with the course pur-
sued by the legislature. If the road
laws are not changed at the approach
ing session then nothing can be az
compIished before the winter of 1898.
Public sentiment is undoubtedly in
favor of immediate relief. and if it
takes the legislature FIVE months to
perfect a law the time will be well
spent. We believe that the revenue
to inaugurate great internal system
of improving the public highways can
be raised without imposing any great
hardships upon the taxpayers. Roads
cannot be constructed for nothing. it
is true, and the people do not expect
as much, but there are many ways in
which the revenue of the state can he
utilized and numerous means can be
adopted for practicing economy. AT
the proper time we will call attention
to this feature of the case
The first thing fort the legislature TODD
is to repeal all existing road laws and
enact an entire new chapter. Then it
must provide some means for begin
ming and carrying on improvements
until the constitution can be amended.
1t will require some time to put such
Il great system under way, as every
thing will he more or less of an eX-
perimcntal nature at the start This
is Il job that the legislature cannot ac-
compIi~h in day or week, or even
a month, and unless the members are
willing to ,oncede Somethin. to each
other the legislature may adjourn
without having accomplished any de-
sirable change.
