A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Contract Signed for Construction of One
for the Navy.

contract signed Tor COnstructlOn OIL One
for the Navy.
WASHINGTON, March 28.--A contract
was signed to-day by Secretary Herbert
with the John p Holland Torpedo Boat
Company, for the construction OF sub
marine boat for the use of the navy.
The contract which may mark q radical
departure in naval construction, was
signed only after thorough considera-
tion, extending over period of nearly
two weeks, on the subject of submarine
boats, and after various plans for such
craft had been examined. The appro-
priation for a submarine torpedo boat
was made over two years ago. The di-
mensions of the vessel contracted for are
to be:
Length, 80 feet; diameter, IL feet;
displacement, total, when submerged,
1313 tons.
All parts of the vessel and the steel to
be used in her construction are to be of
domestic manufacture. She is to be
completed within twelve months from
date, under time penalties. The con-
tract calls for speed of fifteen knots
when the boat is in light condition.
The secretary may refuse to accept the
boat, if it falls half knot an hour be-
low the speed named or accept her at
reduced price. The price to be paid for
the boat is fixed at $l50,000. It is ex-
pressly stipulated that the United States
shall have the optional right to acquire
the patent right for the Holland type
of boat, the price to be paid for the rights
to be determined by board of three
naval officers, the option to run until
thirty days after the first session of con-
gress succeeding acceptance of the ves-
sci. This provision is to give an OPP
portunity to enact legislation for the ac-
QUESTION of the patent If desired.

ALAskA,s WILD FOWL.
MitcheIPs Amendment for Their Pro-
lection May Make Trouble.


lection May Make Trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The amend
ment OF Senator Mitchell OF Oregon in
serted in the sundry civil bill may lead
to some interesting results and also
cause further international complica-
tions, similar to those over Behring sea,
as part OF the appropriation for pro-
tecting salmon fisheries in Alaska.
There Is a provision by which the secre.
tary Of the treasury is authorized Ia
send an inspector TO investigate and re-
port upon the taking and destruction OF
the eggs OF wild fowls, and the alleged
want0n destruction OF game birds, deer,
fox and other animals in Alaska. A re-
port is also asked as to what methods
should be taken TO prevent such de-
struction in future. 1t appears the
Canadian poacher, not content with the
destruction OF seals, is playing havoc in
the wilds Of Alaska, where game birds
make nests in the summer and rear the
young. These eggs have been found
valuable in the manufacture of certain
articles, and are taken by thousands.
While poachers are at work they kill
everything that comes along. There
has been perceptible falling off in the
number OF game birds on the Pacific
coast, and an investigation of the causes
led TO the discovery Of this new form oi
poaching. 1t is believed by Senator
Mitchell that an official report on what
the people OF the Pacific coast have dis
covered will lead to legislation. to pre-
vent further poaching.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2e.-The Ship
owners Association is beginning TO bring
new element OF disturbance into the
sailors strike. The boarding-masters
here have just about exhausted their
supply Of non-union men. They are
making arrangements, 1t is said, to inn
port several hundred Japanese from the
North TO take the place Of the striking
sailorsin the coastwise trade. Japan
ese can probably be secured for $2b a
month, while the union men are de-
manding 1856. Though the strikers have
caused no serious trouble thus far, the
importation OF any considerable number
OF Japanese would undoubtedly stir up
the lawless element on the waterfront.

The ceremonies attending the visit oi

roamed at will through the Saxon forest
and nearly 1000 persons gathered be-
hind low hedge on the railroad en-
bankment opposite the castle, while
others were grouped along the roadway
to Aumehile, village not far from
Friedrichsruh. He wore the uniform oi

the troops were deployed in parade or
der. The approach of his majesty wa
the signal for a storm of "hochs," whicl
were repeated on all sides with grea
enthusiasm. The crown prince and hi
suite, including General Won Waldersee
had in the meantime walked to the par
ade grounds, and as the emperor ap
preached on one side Prince Bismarck
carriage emerged upon the ground from
the other side. The prince wore thu
uniform of the Haberstadtl cuirassiers
When his majesty caught sight of th'
prince he spurred his horse forward
and sitting gracefully in his saddle rode
at fast canter to the carriage of th'
veteran statesman and soldier and cor
daily shook hands with him. The EN-
peror then presented the crown primes

Its Construction Has Been the Cause OF

SPOKANE, WASH, March 29.-Afairs
on the new $500 courthouse reached
another crisis to-day, when the board oi
county commissioners asked Architect
Richie to resign. Richie will prob
ably refuse, and the matter will be car
ried into the courts. Yesterday the
board laid off the superintendent oi

charge absolute. This has aroused
much indignation, as the superintend-
ent was warmly indorsed by the taxpay'
ers' association. He had refused to ap-
prove the estimates of Architect Ritchie
as excessive. The taxpayers associa-
tion will take steps to have grand jury
called to investigate matters.

PECULIAR TARIFF EFFECT
The Higher Duty Brings the Greater
ImDOrts.

One peculiar effect Of the tariff-an enor-
nous increase in importations accompany
ing an increase of duty on the article inn
ported-is cited by United States Consul
Claude Meeker at Bradford, England, in
report to the Department of State. The
article was cotton goods. In 1878 the value
of cotton Innings exported to the United
States was but $1,000, which was increased
in 1893 to the enormous sum of $685., 594.
The Mckinley tariff has been given as the
cause of this unprecedented gain. In the
four years of it's operation the total value
of the cotton goods exported to the United
States was about $2,600,0OO, as contrasted
with about 81 100000 in the four years pre-
ceding The only reason given for this as
tonishing increase. under a high duty is
that cotton Innings were cheaper and there
fore were substituted for Innings in which
wool, worsted. alpaca or mohair. We're the
chief value. However that may be, The
cotton textile trade received an impetus
which has not yet greatly declined. Under
these favorable conditions the cotton lir-
ings improved in make and finish, until
the present time, when cotton fabrics are
being exported to the United States for
Innings and dress goods which are beauti-
full to the sight and so eXquisitely finished
that to the touch they are as soft and
pleasing as silk.

Secretary Smith Opposed.

Secretary Smith has made an adverse re-
port on House bill 1901, for the relief of
settlers on public lands lying in semi-arid
regions. The object OF the bill is to allow
certain settlers in the Dakotas Nebraska,
Kansas and Oklahoma to make final proofs
en- their homestead and timber claims at
the end of two years of continuous settle
ment and improvements, instead of five
years, now in vogue. A large number of
these settlers have been obliged to leave
their homes temporarily to support their
or heat.
Secretary Smith advises against the 1egis-
lation in view of the act authorizing local
officers to grant leave of absence to set
tt RS on public lands who, through total or
partial destruction or failure of crops or
other unavoidable casualty, are unable to
maintain support for themselves and fam
lily on the land settled on.

CREDENTIALS WE'RE DEFECTIVE.
Japan's Refusal to Treat With the
Chinese Enjoys.


United States Minister Dun at Toxic has
cabled Secretary Gresham that the Japan
csc government has refused to conduct
peace negotiations with the Chinese conf
missioners, because the credentials of the
latter were defective, and the Chinese We're
ordered to leave Japan immediately. 1t
was their intention to quit Hiroshima yes
terday on their return to China.
The news of the failure OF this attempt
at peace negotiations caused no surprise
In official circles here, for 1t was felt that
neither party was very much in earnest
in the matter. 1t is asserted by some that
the objections Of the Japanese to the Gre
dentials of the Chinese commissioners
were not entirely reasonable, and that the
Japanese We're glad to seize upon any pre-
text to prevent the negotiations. Until
the exact nature of the Chinese creden-
tials is made public it will not be posi-
BILE to form fair Judgment, but 1t is as
sun1ed here, on the basis of the press re-
ports, that the Jaranese have demanded
that the Chinese commissioners come
clothed with absolute power to bind their
country to any treaty of peace which the
Japanese may choose to impose.
The Japanese Demand.
If this be tie case. it is asserted that
the Jeranese demand is absolutely unrea-
sonable and in direct violation of all es-
tablshed principles of international law.
Nearly every great power has subscribed
to the doctrine of the referendum in peace
negotiations. and probably no country has
taken a more advanced position in it's
IL sistence upon this principle than the
United States
This doctrine, in brief while recognizing
the power of peace commissioners to nego-
tiate treaty. expressly provides that they
must submit the terms of their agreement
to their respective governments for their
notifications. The basis of this doctrine
is a belief that it is impoltic to coniidc the
most vital interests of a people to indi-
viduals. who might be corrupted or coerced
or fail in Judgment.
1t is even doubted here whether the
Japanese commissioners are themselves
absolute, and it is believed that they would
be required to submit any peace treaty
negotiated by them for the approval of
the Japanese government
China Not Yet Convinced.
On the other hand 1t Is suspected that
the Chinese are not yet entirely convinced
of the necessity for submission, they
would have conceded the Japanese demand
as to credentials, arbitrary and unreason-
able it may have been, and this has
strengthened the growing impression here
that China Is being encouraged to further
resistance by some of the great European
powers, who may yet come to the front in
hostile opposition to Japan's demands If
she persists too far.
