The Fireboat.
1dit0r of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
I desire to enter an emphatic protest
against building fire boat. I believe
we are sufficiently protected by the two
pumps now maintained on private boats.
At the trial of one of these pumps on
the Mary w. Libby, stationed at the end
of Long wharf at low tide, stream was
thrown upon the roof of the Post office.
The cost of building a boat is small
part of the expense of maintaining fires
upon steamer continuously and the
crew of at least three men required to
RIM her. [ do not think we can afford
such unnecessary expense.

THE ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
STARTLING NEW DEVELOPMENTS
His Testimony Differs From That of
Other Witnesses and Causes
Quite Breeze.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Lieutenant AL
bert Alderman OF the navy was heard TO-
day by the House Committee on Armor-
plate Frauds. lie was one of the naval
board which investigated the frstcharges
of fraud.
His evidence covered in detail the irreg-
ularities in treating specific armor plates.
He had heard that Superintendent Schwab
and other officials and employees had an
interest in The Carnegie Company, and
had, therefore. motive in passing plates
not up to the standard. He told of the
manner in which his suspicious had been
excited as to the Irregularities of the work.
He found that certain lines of work would
be stopped when he entered a ship. One
of the superintendent, Mr.. Kylne, had
misled him on various details Of the
work.
His own experiments and the afidavits
of informeTs had cOrroborated his sus-
picions and he had assessed damages
against the company as result of his own
knowledge and suspicious.
Alderman told of the investigation of
the second or supplemental charges. This
testimony developed a new branch of
irregularty as to the manipulation of a
testing machine used by the Carnegie COM
pany. The machine was operated so as to
give false figures. Disclosures were also
made as to serious defects in two plates of
the Monterey and one in the Machias.
Lieutenant Alderman said blowholes
were a positive defect and could be
avoided. In this opinion his statement
differed from that of other naval officers.
The witness described the serious blow
hole in the thirteen-inch armOr of the
Monterey. A wire four feet long had
been inserted 10 the hole.
Chairman Cummings read from the tes-
timOny of the second investigation to the
effect that one of the workmen had been
discharged al the suggestion of one of the
Government inspectors.
The committee commented on this testi-
mony, stating that it treated cOnfden-
TALLY of the relations between the Carnegie
company and the naval inspectors

In the Management of San Joaquin
County Hospital.
STOCKTON, June S.-The Grand Jury.
which has been in session long time max
ing searching investigation into county
affairs, to-day presented sensational re-
port.
The jury found in the purchase OF new
hospital site that Superintendent ward
got commission of IS per acre. amount
ing to S224O. The County Supervisors de-
cided to purchase from so to 100 acres,
but finally bought AS acres.
The jury blames the Supervisors and the
superintendent for lack of management
and finds that some of the attendants get
intoxicated.
The jury recommends the discharge OF
the superintendent and two attendants.
The disclosure that the superintendent
of the hospital get a large commission was
surprise to the Supervisors as well as
the public. He acknowledged to some of
the Supervisors that he was to get $500
commission, but the jury brought out the
full truth.
The jury also says that three Supervisors
swore they did not vote to buy the new
hospital site, but the records Of the board
show three votes for it and two against.
The Grand Jury will now proceed to find
out what was done with the money re-
ceIVed by the superintendent.

and Snake rivers seems to have been con-
siderable overestimated, according TO Sec
rotary T. NJ Orr of the Union Pacific,
although Mr.. Orr said it would be impossi-
BILE to estimate the damage until the waters
had subsidized, leaving the rails exposed.
He thought, however. that no more Ihansa
hundred miles of track would be found
damaged, and in many places, he said. the
track would undoubtedly be found intact
when the waters fell
The repairs necessary TO bring the track
back to its old condition will be made by
the Union Pacific, but the Oregon Pacific
will have to make good the amount eX-
pended for the maintenance and repair of
the road. Probably it will take million
dollars to put the road back in its normal
condition, which will leave the net earn
ings of the Oregon company in very
dilapidated state.
This flood, which has covered almost the
whole of Idaho like sea, comes in a most
inopportune time for the bondholders of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany, who are contemplating filing a bill
for a separate receiver.
In railway circles it is thought the bill
will not be filed now until after the ire
mendous damage has been repaired by the
Union Pacific, when they will jump in and
take the road away. But there will be
few heartaches on the part of Union
Paci1c officials when the road sewers its
connection with the overland Since 1891
the traffic people of the Union Pacific
have been in constant stew over their
position in the PalOuse country and con-
tnual quarrels have ensued with the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern lines
over Pacific Coast business.
Should the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton Company get a separate receivership
it would leave the Union Pacific in much
better condition through traffic arrange
ments than through its present lease on
the line, which includes some 1000 miles of
track and water facilities. Altogether the
conditions are pTecariOus. and tie people
at headquarters are not inclined even to
speculate as to what the outcome will be.
At Union Pacific headquarters it was
given out that the washouts along the
Snake River, between Payne and Market
Lake. a distance Of some twelve miles,
will be repaired by Sunday night, when it
is thought the reeeding waters of the Co
Iumbia will show how much repair work
must be done on the Oregon Railway line.
