Of Congress for that kind of craft, the
Navy Department has been obliged to cast

they are exposed to damage, or to be
moored out in harbors in the northern
ports, where injury may follow from ice
Moreover. the best results are obtained
with perfectly clean hulls, freshly painted,
and this condition can only be maintained
by keeping the boats high and dry ashore
until they are wanted for service. At pres

up the boats In this way, but Chief Con-
structor Hfchborn has been giving the sub

for the equipment of the Boston navy yard

UNFAIRNESS CHARGED.
Protest by u Mfddle-of-the-Road Kan
sRs P0pulist.

TOPEKA, Kan, October 13.-Abe Stein
berger, secretary of the state organization
recently formed by the "middle-of-the-
read" populsts, has filed with the state
election board protest against the certifi-
cate of nomination returned by the officers
of the regular populist state convention
which entered into a fusion agreement
with the democrats. He alleges that the
return, made falsely, states that the elect
ors named, as they will appear on the pop
ulist ticket, are for Bryan and Watson,
when, as a matter of fact, they are the
democratic electors who are pledged to vote
for Bryan and Sewall. He AYERS that this
is an attempt to mislead the populist voters
of the state, who otherwise would vote for
Bryan and Watson electors.
