senator squire wants SHIP Built on
Puget Sound.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Squire
of Washington is interesting himself 10
secure, if possible, the contract for some
Of the new naval vessels provided for at
the last session of Congress for his State.
The law provides that one Of the two
battleships and one of the torpedo boats
must be built on the Pacific Coast in case
it should not appear that they cannot be
built there except at exOrbitant rates, but
makes no such specification as to any of
the six composite rambOats provided for
in the Act.
Mr.. Squire has, however been assured
that the people OF the Western Coast shall
have an opportunity to put in bids on
these boats also There is only one in
stitution on that coast having facilities
Tor building battleships and that is To-
Gated in San Francisco, but the Senator
says that torpedo boats and gunboaLs can
be constructed on Puget Sound as eco
nomlcally at at any other place.
The Bureau OF Construction and Re-
pairs OF the Navy Department will have
immediate control of the building of the
proposed vessels and is already consider
ing the plans for them.
1t Is understood, however, that none of
the specifications will be ready to submit
to prospective bidders for a month or six
weeks. The plans for the gunboats now
receiving the attention OF the officials
contemplate boats I6S feet long, 344 feet
wide and II feet draught, giving a dis
placement of 957 tons. The bottoms are
to be of wood, covered with copper two
feet above the water line, and above the
copper with steel. The keel Is to be OF
wood; with a side frame of steel, and
there is to be an inside steel frame in
the hull.
There is some doubt in the minds of the
officials whether such vessels can be
built for the amount Appropriated,
$4,000 for each boat, and it may become
necessary to reduce the dimensions in
order to bring the cost of construction
within the appropriation. The law per-
mlts the use Of steel or other metal, or of
alloy, in any Of the proposed vessels.
The name of the Kearsarge will be re-
vived for one of the battIeships.

THE ARTISTS CONCERT.
An Afternoon i'm Which Many Ladies

The attendance and the programme at

were in the large majority, which is rare.
The orchestra again proved its right TO be
a leading part Of the Indiana May fes-
tival. There was a symmetry about its
playing and sympathy in its accompani-
ments that could not be criticised in any
particular. The orchestra led the pro-
gramme in its rendition of the overture to
"Phedre,'' by Massenet, then with en-
quisite tenderness two short selections,
"Herzwunden'' and lin Fruhlng,' both

Last night the following telegram was

the right to choose her own numbers, which

that no outsiders be admitted, which was
quite proper request. President Mayer

POPULAR APPROVAL
Goes far toward establish
ing the standing of a business
house in any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR
APPROVAL, but that those
who have dealt with us have
been eminently satisfied with
their transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more

TIES shown and our REASON
ABLE PRICES than by prepos-
ferrous claims of selling goods
below cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
As we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE

sense, from the lowest priced
goods to the most luxurious
