Mr.. Scott Tells of Their
Use on the Oregon.
Substitutes to Cover a Mis-
take in Measurement.
Change Made Without knowledge of
Naval Constructor.

SAN FRANCISCO, June I'm regard TO
the statement wired from Washington to
the effect that defect had been discovered
in the construction of the new battleship
Oregon, Irving M. Scott, president Of
the Union Iron Works, says: Upon the
return of the Oregon from her famous
trip in the Santa Barbara channel, we
were informed that the superintendent OF
the ship yard and two of his foremen
had made mistake in the dimensions of
some OF the plates in the protection deck
over the coal hunkers and to cover Ii up,
had substituted thinner plates Of suffi :
cient width, the requisite thickness being
made up. Instead of three plates of the
thickness required by the specifications,
there were four, which, though thinner,
were IN the aggregate the same.
Upon being summoned before the trial
board, the three meh responsible frank
ly admitted the truth of the report and
testified that they had made the su bstitu-
tion OF thinner plates upon their own
responsibility and without informing
either the Union Iron Works or Mr.. Stahl,
the naval constructor, who superintended
the work. AS the strength or efficiency
of the ship was not affected, the four
plates inserted being just as thick as the
three required by the specifications, they
bad seen no harm in their action and
hoped by this means to cover up mis-
take they bad made in the dimensions Of
the original plates. As soon as we could
locate the deficient p'ates and the num-
ber, we furnished the trial board with a
drawing showing just what and where
they were anr ordered them removed and
others put I'm their places. Our offer TO
do this at our own expense was accepted
by the government, and pla,es which

Opponent. of the school land bil

Opponents of the school land bill continue to oppose the measure. al though the objections raised against it have been overcome in the new bill. The PheniX Gazette not only opposes the bill in its present form. but makes a personal attack on Senator Dubois, just as it did on Delegate Murphy. Our immaculate democratic contemporary of Pheni1 does not seem willing to allow any one to entertain an opinion differing from it on any question without the person doing SO subjecting himself to the most malicious personal and vindictive abuse. It attacks Senator Dubois in the following most scur- Tilous manner: Senator Dubois, who introduced and is pushing the present school land bill. is one of the most conspicuous little frauds in public life, and never in bis entire history chsmpioned 6 measure in the interest of the public. Securing notoriety in Idaho because of hls opposition to the Mormon settlers, be has continued in his demagogical course up to the present day, and the men who are endeaVorinR to swindle the settlers of Arizona selected a fitting tool to do their work when Fred Dubois was chosen"

DREW ON HIS IMAGINATION.

A correspondent of the PheniI Gazette, writing from Prescott, airs his ignorance in the following hope less manner:
 "The political situation here is somewhat foggy, aud since Delegate Murphy fell down SO hard, 1t is difficult to distinguish the difference between the republicans and popu- lists. They have all lost their bugles and none of them seem to know where they are at. The democrats, however, are very hopeful, and with the proper organization in this county, will have a walk over in the coming campaign. There hss been a great deal of speculation here in regard to the democratic candidate for delegate to congress, and a num- Der of prominent names have been suggested, but as yet no definite choice has been made. John C. Herndon says that under no con sideration could he be induced to enter the race again, as his law prsc tice demands his entire time snd attention"

ARIZONA'S ADMISSION. How the Senate Committee Proposes to
 Pare The Nay.

The following is the full text of the Senate committees report <on the admission of Arizona, together with other notes:
 The were only six of the eleven members of the committee present. They were Senators Davis, Shoup and Thurston, republicans, and Sen ators Bate, Gall and White, demo cTats. There was was only one mega tive vote. which was cast by Senator Call. The bill was introduced by Senator Carter, and, Ike the New Mexico bill, Is an enabling act. It provides that the governor shall issue a call for an election of dele gates tO the constitutional conven- tion thirty days after the passage of the act, in which he shall designate the day of election. The delegates are to meet at the seat of govern ment on the second Monday after election. The constitution Is 10 be submitted to the voters of the terri tory for ratification or rejection on the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in May, lS96, and an election for representative in Congress Is also tO take place.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1896-03-25

Elsewhere in this issue will be
 found a copy of the bill reported by the senate committee on public lands providing for leasing school lands in this territory for educational pur- poses. It Is a fac simile of the old bill, about which such q howl went up from the democratic press, with some additions, taken from the regulations of the Interior Depart ment, prohibiting the cutting of timber, and limiting the quantity which may be leased to one indivi- dual, association, or corporation. All of these extra safe guards, which now appear in the bill, were pro- vided for before ir the regulations of the Secretary of the Interior. The bill, it will be noticed, does not say anything about "disposing of these lands before Arizona is ad- mitted as a state, but simply pro vides for leasing them, whereby the occupants of them will be required to pay the territory something for their use. A snug little sum should be realized to the school fund under the provisions of this bill if it becomes a law, where now not a single dime is realized, and the JoURNAL-MINER hopes to see it pass and become a law.
