DISCUSSING THE TEXAS.
Conference Mt the Navy Department,
Over the battle Ship.

Conference nt the Navy Department
Over the Battle Ship.
The unfortunate battle ship Texas, now
in dry dock at New York, was the sub
ject of q conference at the Navy Depart
pants Tere Secretary Herbert, Assistant
Sec! =, McAdoo, Chief Constructor Hich-
DO! tineer-in-chief Melville and Capt.
Glos. &c commander Of the vessel The
last named officer came over from New
York specially to attend the conference.
The vessel is now undergoing repairs, and
it is said that Admiral Bunce, command
ing the MOI tn Atlantic squadron, desires to
have the work expedited in order that the
Texas may be ready to take part in the
proposed evoutions of his fleet. There are
a large number of minor repairs to be made
in order to put the ship in perfect con-
dition for sea. 1t is said for one thing
that her hydraulic gear is in need of at
tention. Today'S conference, 1t Is under
stood, was merely for the purpose Of ad-
justing certain minor differences between
the admiral and the officers in charge of
the repairs, the most important of which
is the length of time required for the work.
1t is said that the admiral feels that the
work ought to be accomplished in much
less time than has been allowed by The
construction department, about five weeks,
as otherwise the ship will not be ready for
the proposed cruise Of the fleet for drill
and exercise The result of the confer
ence Is not known, but 1t Is understood that
an effort will be made to comply with the
admiral's wishes and that orders were
given to push the work of repairs as much
as possible. The latest estimate is that it
will require at least two weeks time to
prepare the vessel for active service.

SUBWAY FOR ELECTRIC WIRES.
What Representative Richardson

What Representative RichardsOn
Says of the subcommittee.
Representative Richardson of Tennessee
the only democratic member of the House
committee on the District of Columbia re-
elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress, is in the
city and Is located at his old home, 11O4 9Th
street northwest. In the next Congress
Mr.. Richardson will be at the head of the
democratic side Of the committee and
stands in a position that would entitle him
to the Craftsmanship should the House be-
come democratic during his congressional
career. In speaking to a Star reporter
today on the District legislation to be TAX
en- up in December, Mr.. Richardson said he
could not see a great deal that could be
done.
Il am on subcommittee" he remarked
'of which Mr.. Babcock is chairman, which
has in charge :he matter of subways for
electric wires. l expect this subcommittee
will meet before long to formulate some
plan for placing the electric wires under
ground"
Mr. Richardson said he had noticed the
matter of railroad crossings was interest
ing the people here, but he thought the
Commissioners would have to be heard
from before that question could be taken
up by Congress.
In regard to tariff legislation he did not
see much prospect for the passage of the
pingley bill, as he presumed that the sill
yer men In the Senate would regard it in
the same light they looked upon 1t at the
last session of Congress.
