NEW YORK. Aug. THE Herald's
Washington correspondent. says: Re-
garding the naval policy of the present
administration, 1t may be stated with
authority that Secretary Herbert will
advocate the construction gilmore ships.
He will be conservative in his estimates,
but he still believes that we are some
distance from the point whore we can
afford to stop the work of ship con-
struction. He has estimated that
Gil, 900, 900 will be required to complete
the AZ vessels built and building for the
new navy.
As this amount will be distributed
over the coming three years he a adj

the annual appropriation for ship con
struction.
will Outline a Policy.
1t is understood to be the intention OF
| Secretary Herbert to outline a definite
policy as to just what our new navy
should comprise. There will not b
any radical departures from the lines
laid down during Mr.. Whitney's ad
ministration and continued Throughout
Mr.. Tracy's. Mr.. Herbert will hav'
two programmes-one showing thu
total number of vessels Of each type w
should have when the new navy is com
pleted, and another for which an ap
preparation will be recommended 4
the coming congress. 1t is his opinion
that before calling a halt we should .

ARMS FOR HAwAIIANs.

The San Francisco Call Tells What IL
Knows of the Matter.
NEW York. Aug. 1.-The following
is from an article in the San Francisco
Call, which was telegraphed to The
World:
After intimating that q certain Ha-
waiian known as .'Licurgas, the
Greek" is engaged in systematically
smuggling arms into Honolulu The
Call adds.
Rifles and cartridges have been sup
Piled to Honolulu. This The Call
knows. No seizure has been made Of
any such guns ON the Hawaiian islands.
So does not everything point to a clever
plot on the part of the Royalists in
Honolulu?
The AIexander's Outfit.
When the false report was sent out
| from Port Townsend that the Mohican
had been fired into by the fishing
steamer Alexander everybody inquired
regarding the latter vessel. Sunday
morning The Call told Of her curious
make. She sailed from here on a hunt
ing and fishing cruise. She is of $50
tons burden and carried q crew of 40
men. She sailed under the Hawaiian
flag and was booked as the property OF
Eta of Honolulu.
The Alexander carried the following
articles of warfare: Two six-pounder
rapid fire Hotchkiss guns, Q rapid fire
four-pounder Hotchkiss guns, 100 Win.
chester rifles, 5000 rounds Of rifle am
munition, 500 four-pound shells, 5OC
six-pound shells, 4 adjustable gun car
riages, 8 Whitehead torpedoes and Q
large quantity Of cutlasses and small
arms. 1t is positively known that this
boat sailed from here rugged for a fight
in, this names.
The Alexander is fitted for close in
shore fighting Her draught is just
light enough 10 allow her to run in por1
at Waikiki. Then what would follow
The two Hotchkiss guns would b
transferred to shore In q couple d
hours. The 45 men on board, rein
forced by Royalists, and armed will
rides on the Alexander alone
Could Take Honolulu.
The provisional government has onl.
an army OF $50 men and four rapid fir
ing guns. Sam Parder could get 90
men to do his bidding at a moment
notice. Among those are 700 who be
long to the old Hawaiian army, an.
they are crack shots.
Again, the Alexander might be Of
the town of Honolulu and shell the Cit
until it capitulated. Under the in

A Disconsoiate Governor.

The infant phenomenon of the Bay
State justly feels that he has been play
ing in very tough luck. He was elected
governor of Massachusetts the other
day by plurality of 2,700 votes, and
has been feeling so good over his re-
markable success that he began to think
himself almost bigger man than old'
Grover. Now it turns out that if the
the wide awake and highly cultured Re
publican voters of Massachusetts, had
only known how to mark their Austria
liam ballots Mr.. Halle, the Republican
candidate, would have been elected by
about $4,000 plurality, and young Mr.
Russell, who was pluming his wings for
even the loftiest fight, is left discon-
ISOLATE, standing around ON one leg like
a rooster in a rainstorm.
He may continue to draw the salary
and play governor, but all the roseate
dreams that lately flushed his sweet
young life with opalescent waves of in
describable brightness have fed, and he
is left to plod YEARLY along in the gray
mists, breasting the piercing east winds

pie, and wins by blunder. "This is

Aristocratic Fowls.

Mr.. Beecher used to amuse himself AZ

The Queens Jubilee Bonnet.


The Duchess of Bedford lately told
girls needlework society in Mile End
that the bonnet which the queen wore at
the jubilee service was practically made
by the Princess of Wales.
''It was sent home," said her grace,
looking heavy and ugly. Nobody dared
return it to the milliner without the
queens orders, and nobody liked to ask
her majesty for such instructions. So
the ladies in waiting showed it to the
Princess Of Wales, knowing how clever
abe Is in all such matters, and her royal
highness with her own hands altered it
and twisted it till it became the ex
trsmely becoming and tasteful head
dress which we all admired ON that
memorable occasion. Everybody who

The New York Bank wreckers.


In view Of the recent release by par.
don of George H. Pell and James A.
Simmons, the alleged ''wreckers" of the
Sixth National, Lenox Hill anil Equi
table banks, / made inquiries yesterday
to ascertain if there was any reason why
executive clemency should not as well
be extended to General Peter j. Claassen.
United States District Attorney Mitch
ell was asked, among other questions, if
there was, in his opinion, any reason
why Simmons, convicted upon Claassens
testimony as an accessory to an embez
element, was any more entitled to mercy
than Claassen, the alleged principal IL
the transaction. Mr.. Mitchell said that
in the eyes of the law the accessory was
as guilty as the principal. He excused
himself from expressing an opinion as
to the merits of Simmons pardon or the
likelihood of one being obtained for
General Claassen.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mitchell was
not favorably inclined to the pardon of
Simmons. The jury, however, made q
recommendation of mercy, which led
Judge Benedict to impose sentence of
but six years for an offense the penalty
of which is minimum of five and a
maximum of ten years. So far as this
goes, it only brings into stronger relief
the injustice of retaining Claassen in Jail
while pardoning the other.
Claassen was always regarded by bust
ness and financial men as the least guilty
OF the trio. He so testified. and his
friends and many others believed that
he was entirely innocent of any knowl-
edge of the ''check kiting' operations
carried on by Pell and Simmons New

A warming to Overcareful Women.

warning TO OVorchreiui WOMEN
Mrs. Joseph B. Moore lost a jewel cas-
ket containing marquise diamond ring
with emerald center, two gold rings
with solitaire diamond setting, and a
diamond bracelet, the whole valued at
$500.
1t had been her custom every night
upon retiring to place the casket at the
bottom Of waste paper basket which
stands in the bedroom, the theory being
that it is there safer from burglarious
intrusion than if hidden elsewhere. In
the morning she takes it out again.
Thursday morning the chambermaid
removed the basket while the case was
still in it, and upon her notification the
coachman carried 1t out in the rear and
emptied it. He then came back into the
house, secured match and burned up
the small pile of papers and rubbish.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Moore discov-
cred her loss, hurried out and raked over
the ashes, but found no trace of her miss
ing jewels.
The servant and coachman denied all
knowledge Of having seen or taken the
jewelry, and the superstition is that
while the coachman was hunting q
match some person or persons saw the
box and made away with it.-Jewelers'

The German emperor is determined
to have no trifiing with his diplomatic
corps. The German ambassador at Pek-
ing, Herr Won Brandt, has just become
engaged to young American lady, to
the satisfaction of the friends of both
parties.
Not, however, to that of the Emperor
William. He sees in the proposed ALI
ance dangerous situation for the secret
affairs of the empire.
"The position of German diploma
tist," he is reported to have written, sis
such as to preclude his marrying u
woman of another nationality"
Evidently German intrigue in China is
something even more insidious and
crafty than the world is aware of. Its
secrets are such that the agents them
selves may only marry German women.
The question is whether this is com
plimentary to the latter or not, Of course
the American young lady is an exception
ally dangerous person, but the emperor
does not seem to have considered that
the best way to make her less dangerous
is to get her safely married.-St James
