TALK ABOUT NAVAL STATION.
Large Quantity of Coal Coming To
Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia con-
tract has been closed by the Navy
Department for the purchase OF
26O0 tons of Pocahontas coal ,
which is to be shipped from Nor
folk shortly for Honolulu, where
it is to be PLACID in the dumping.
shed and used by naval ships
touching at that port. This ship
ment is said to be the largest ever
made by the department and will
cost about $12, 900, three-fourths
Of which goes for vessel hire.
The department has also recently
bought 1900 tons of coal from a
San francisco firm for delivery at
Honolulu. These large purchases
have revived reports that the
Government would at once begin
active preparations for a large
naval station in Hawaii, the
land for which was granted by
the late Queen some years
ago. Admiral Walkers report on
the advisability of establishing
this station has been considered
of late, and it is not improbable
that the Secretary of the. Navy
will this winter authorize the ex-
penditure OF the 5000 900 which
is available for foreign coal sta
tions. The report shows that
Pearl harbor station is naturally
one of the best protected loca-
tions for naval station in the
Pacific, is easily reached from the
sea, and can be fortified without
great expense. There is plenty
of water for .the heaviest ships
after the slight bar at the entrance
of the river is removed, and once
inside torpedoes would render it
invulnerable to any hostile fleet.
1t has been recognized as of para
mount Importance to this country
that naval station should be
located at Hawaii, and now that
the department has both autho-
rity and money for this purpose
it is not improbable that the sta
tion will be established.

strikes Big Liner with Disastrous
Results.
New YORK, December 17.-The
French line steamship LIZ Cham
pagne, which arrived today from
Havre, discovered a wave, suppos-
ed to be Of the cumulative sort,
in midocean on Friday morning,
and not being able to ride or
dodge it, was forced to take its
towering crest aboard. Before the
ships head could be swung
around, the wall of water thund-
cred aboard abaft the bridge
almost amidships. The timbers
of the promenade deck rang like
an immense drumhead under the
battering of the wave. The ship
staggered, almost stopped for a
few seconds and then reeled away
over to port under the pres
sure Of the wave, which luckily
did not have mate in its wake.
After the shock of the impact the
electric lights wentout, and there
arose a medley of screams and
shouts from the saloon passengers.
The wave had torn seven heavy
sheetiron ventilators from theirfast
enings, swep, eighteen settees from
the promenade deck into the tu
multi of water and had burst open
the heavy storm doors on the port
side of the companionway leading
to the saloon. A cataract roared
through the broken door down
the staircase, demolishing the
massive carved balustrade and
flooding the sal oon to depth
of two feet. Some. OF the water
rushed down into the staterooms
through the openings from which
the ventilators had been wrench
ed.
Miss Alice Thompson, one OF
the saloon passengers, was startled
from her berth by the crash. She
saws that as she stepped out OF
her room she was thrown from her
feet by the torrent that came
through the alleyway. 81 thought
the ship was going down." she
said IT was carried along the
alleyway on my back, and every
time the ship lurched L was bang
ed against the sides. L became
unconscious for few moments.
An officer with lantern came
along, and picking me up took
me to my room.
The damage, including that
wrought in the saloon and state
rooms, will not be less than $l5,-
600.

IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The battle
over the naval appropriation bill was
fought in the House again to-day, and
there was a more vigorous opposition
to the provisions authorizing the con-
struction of four battleships than was
made when the bill was originally un-
der consideration when the fight was
between four and six battleships But
the effort to concur in the Senate
amendment reducing the number from
four to two was defeated-yeas 81,
nays 141.
The fight was not at all partisan.
Sayers (Dem) of Texas made the mo-
tion to concur, and was ably supported
by Cannon (Rep.) of Illinois, Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations,
who pointed out that with only two
battleships provided for the revenues
of the Government for the four years
of the next Administration, which he
said would be that of a Republican
President would be mortgaged by the
appropriation bills of this session to
the extent of So, 100000 a year
Boutelle (Rep) of Maine, Chairman
of the Committee on Naval Affairs,
Stoutly maintained the desirability
and propriety of constructing four
ships, and he was assisted in the argu-
ment by Cummings Oem.) of New
York. The latter arraigned the Senate
for its action upon appropriation and
revenue bills in the last Congress, as
serting that it had virtually violated
the provisions of the Constitution in
the report of the former, and as to the
latter had compelled the House to
agree to tariff bill full of blunders
from which the country had ever since
been suffering.
The request for a Senate conference
IN the naval appropriation bill was
agreed to after the vote upon Sayers'
motion.
Rudolph Kleberg (Dem.), successor
to the late W. H. Crane (Rep.) from the
Eleventh Texas District, was sworn in.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CONTEST.
fiOt Words Before the Committee i'm
the rlallOney=Spear Contest.

1t was after IL O'Clock before the San
francisco contest was called up. and
the case for the Mahoney delegat ton
presented to the committee by ATTORNEY
A Reuf, who held the floor for half an
Eour. Everything seemed ID move
along very smoothly while the youth
ful attorney was making statement
or his case. He went into its history
and told how the Mahoney primar aries
had been called and conducted He
read minutes of meetings held and let
ters written to prove that his position
was tenable.
After he had closed his remarks a
question asked by Committeeman Pres
ton of San Francisco started n comlno-
ton. Reuf said he was sorry the aues-
ton had been asked him, and referred
in an uncomplmentary manner to the
Spear delegation, which reused the ire
of Preston.
The latter said he thought he de-
served some protection while sitting as
a member of the committee, and did not
care to be insulted by any one upon the
floor who had not the manhood to re-
peat his language outside.
Thereupon Lawyer Reuf challenged
Preston's right TO sit on the committee,
asserting lHdI ne was. DOGV ana soul,
wrapped up in the success OF the Spear
delegation.
When the breeze blew over Martin
! Stevens. in behalf of the Spear dele
cation, read a string of minutes OF the
State Central Committee, and also of
the Spear party previous to the holding
/ of the primaries to elect delegates for
| the State Convention.
! The question of fraudulent proxies
was brought up, and he produced a1i-
] davits TO prove that the Mahoney dele
! cation had carried their point only by
/ means of two of these.
| But Lawyer Reuf was also primed
with aflidavits to prove his side clear
! from any such charge, and the light
went merrily on.
Sam Shortridge followed Stevens for
the Spear side of the fight and gave an
! elaborate argument. He was ques-
| tened by the committee somewhat
! closely, but was suavity itself, and al
/ ways came out with his coiors dying
Reuf closed for the Mahoney delega-
! ton, and when he did so the Clerk s
! desk was piled a foot deep with aIli-
| davits, letters, documentary evidence.
! briefs, and exhibits of all sorts. The
| case, as We're all of the others, was
| taken under advisement.

near by, saw the fire fiend at work.
They are sure 1t was a woman, or a
man in woman's clothes. They have
