Secretary Herbert ON the Subject
Plans for Torpedo-lsoats.

WASHINGTON, January SIN re-
sponse to the Quay resolution requesting
information as to whether the Navy De-
partment deemed II advisable to build
six battleships, instead Of the two author
tied by the last Congress-, on the basis
OF the bids submitted for these two, Sec
retary Herbert sent to the Senate to-day
a long letter on the subject. After in
forming the Senate that contracts for
both the battleships authorized have al
ready been awarded to the Newpor. News
Shipbuilding and Dry-Dock Company. the
Secretary says the department does not
deem IL advisable TO recommend that
any bids received and not accepted should
be further considered, because it sees no
reason why, II other ships are now au-
thorized, the building Of them should not
be also open TO competition.
Since the departments plans for bat
tleships have been completed. and az
all the contractors I'm the United States
have had opportunity to inspect these
plans, and as they have been examined
by all those able TO build the ships. the
Secretary thinks there seems TO be no
reason why any delay should occur in
letting out contracts for new ships to be
authorized by this Congress. IL an ad-
vertisement for new bids for battleshps
were issued. he says ten days from the
date thereof for receiving and opening
the bids would give ample time and op-
portunity for competition. Under such an
advertisement. the department would
also. as in like cases heretofore, call
for bids upon plans of bidders, and any
plans hereafter prepared by bidders might
be submitted upon the new bids
The Secretary calls attention to the
fact that in his recent annual report, he
recommended that three additional bat
tleships be authorized, and he says the
department. would be glad to have au-
thority TO build four such ships as are
contemplated i'm the Senate resolution.
Plans for torpedo boats g. 7, and s. have
also been examined by contractors for
the additional torpedo-boats recommended
i'm his annual report on the basis of these
plans. Bids for these could also be
opened on ten days notice.
Concerning a probability that Congress,
provided il authorizes twelve or more
torpedo-boats, would limit the number
which one firm might be permitted to
construct, the Secretary recommends that
the lots into which each individual bid
der's share should he divided should not
be too email. for the reason that the
larger the number of boats secured by
one firm, the cheaper the price for each
will be. He hopes that permission Will
be granted to build these vessels Of va
rous sizes.

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
Every Cent Of the Cash in the Safe
Taken.

FAYETTE, O., January S.-One of the
boldest as we'll as one Of the most sue
cessful robberies that ever occurred in
Fulton county took place here some
time last night when the Bank of
Fayette. a private financial institution,
of which Il. l.. Barber, president OF the
Ketcham National Bank OF Toledo, Is a
stockholder. and Charles l.. Allen cashier
was entered, and every cent OF the cash
in the safe and the valuable papers were
stolen. The robbery was not discovered
until time to open this morning. BY
that hour, of course, there was no clue
whatever TO the thieves, who left not a
single trace of their identity.
The value Of the money and paper
taken is not definitely known, the officials
OF the bank observing the greatest re-
ticence. 1t Is believed, however, that
at least 5000. and probably as much as
$1,000 was obtained.
The robbers, of whom ii is thought there
were at least two. pried open a window.
and easily gained entrance to the bank.
Then they blew off the safe door with
some powerful explosive. The rest was

THE CANADIAN CRISIS.
Practically Nothing New in the
situation.

OTTAWA, ONT, January s-There Is
practically nothing new to-day in con-
nection with the political crisis. 1t is
understood that Premier Sir Mackenzie
Bowel is zealously at work trying to
form a Cabinet, but so far he has not been
very successful. Sir John Carling and
G. 3. Baker have been appointed TO the
Senate, which will enable Sir Mackenzie
to get a couple of new Ministers.
In the statement which ex-Minister
Foster made in the House yesterday he
said that repeated attempts had been
made by himself and colleagues to in
duce Sir Mackenzie Bowel to resign the
premiership into more puissant HANDS.
Replying to that statement in the SEN
ate. the Premier declared that 1t took him
completely by surprise. and he character
lied il as uncalled for, undignihed, ana
unfair.
Upon that point OF divergence hangs
much OF the sentiment this incident has
aroused. The resignation OF the Ministers
under circumstances Of such seeming pre-
cipitancy Is looked upon as a revolt de-
llberately planned to force Sir Mackenzie
Bowel out of the leadership.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Deadlock Among Members Of the Senate
Pinanx Committee
That Il to Say, Unless MFR. Jones
Relents, and Consents 10 Act with
the Republicans - Free-Coinagc
Riders.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., January s.
IL the Republican members OF the Senate
Committee on Finance act In accordance
this afternoon. and If Mr.. Jones PERSISTS
in his intention to demand that raw sugar
shall be given the Is per cent. increase
provided by the House in every other
schedule. there will probably be a dead
lock in the committee. and the tariff bill
cannot be reported. There IL a general
belief, however, that Mr.. Jones will re-
lent, and act with the Republicans.
The resolutions introduced yesterday by
Mr.. Quay. declaring It to be the sense of
the Republicans that the tariff bill should
be reported from the committee as 1t
came from the House, passed in the cau-
Gus this afternoon, after an hour and a
half debate, without a division. Many Of
the silver Republicans were outspoken In
their desire to have the tariff bill pass,
and declared that IL would be unwise
to place free-coinage rider thereon,
especially in view of the fact that such
a bill was now before the Senate, and
would be passed before action was had
on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Ielier, OF Colorado, however,
threw brand among his associates when
he said that for one he proposed 10 assist
in placing q free-cOinage amendment on
every tariff bill. until such a measure be-
came law. He would not only vote to
put II on this bill, but he declared 1t to
be his intention to endeavor to assist in
having such an amendment placed on a
tarin bill in the next Congress. II the
Republicans control both branches of the
legislative department and the Executive.
REPUBLICANS EMBARRASSED.
This statement embarrassed the Repub-
licans greatly. Mr. Teller did not say
that he would offer such an amendment
but stated positively that IL offered he
would vote for II. Other silver men ex-
pressed their intention of being satisfied
with the free-coinage substitute for the
bond bill.
Conservative silver men will not join
Mr.. Teller is this vote, and the votes of
the "sound-money" men on the other
side of the chamber are counted upon
TO defeat such proposition.
Just as the caucus was about to adjourn
Mr. Pettlgrew asked when the Republl-
cans proposed TO consider the question
OF the reorganization of the elective offi-
GERS of the Senate. and suggested that
this would be as good a time as any.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Mitchell Immediately
made a motion to adjourn, and It was
carried.
This left the silver and the new sena-
tors in the lurch. They are the ones who
have been urging reorganization. and they
are somewhat angered TO think that adj
journment was carried on the motion of
one OF their own men.
Immediately after adjournment call
was circulated for Mr.. Sherman to cali
another caucus, and was generally signed
by eastern men. as well as western and
silver men. This caucus will be called
probably tomorrow. and will deal with
the subject OF the further reorganization
OF the Senate.

tions, will be considered.
