TO STRENGTHEN OUR NAVY.
Largest Naval Appropriation Bill Since
the War.

Washington, March 17.-'Fhe Naval
Appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year will contain the most liberal al
lowance for the increase of the navy
carried by any bill since the war Four
battleships and fifteen torpedo boats
was the decision of the committee on
the question which had been the prin-
cipal point of discussion in many
meetings. The Democrats fought hard
to-day to secure six battleships but the
Republicans stood well together and
carried their point.
The motion for six battleships was
made by Mr.. Cummings. OF New York
and was lost by a vote of six to seven,
but one Republican voting for it. The
vote was: Yeas -Democrats-Cu
mings, Of n. Y; Meyers. Of La: Money.
of Miss; Tate, of Ca; Hart, of Penna.;
Republicans, Hanley, OF Indiana. Nays
Republicans -Boutelle, of Me-; HUI
lick, of Ohio; Hilborn, of Cal: Bull. of
r. T.: Wilson, Of n. y; Foss, of H.;
Dayton, of w. Va.
The four battleships will be of H.
900 tons each and the cost is not to ex-
ceed So, 100000 each exclusive of arma-
ment which is thought to be an ample
provision as other ships of the same
class have been built in recent years
we'll within that figure. Five of the
torpedo boats are to have speed of 26
knots and to cost within Ss50,00o each;
the other ten to have speed Of 90 knots
and their cost limit is $500, 900 each
Other details including the settle
ment of the places, where the ships
and torpedo boats are to be built were
left undecided but Mr. Hilborn, of Cal
ifornia feels certain that the Pacific
coast viii get it's share of the honors
in'the distribution while Mr.. Meyer, of
Louisiana viii try and have a part Of
the torpedo fleet built i'm the Missis-
sippi. The new craft will be built by
contract and the Navy Department is
left free to expend as much of the APP
preparation as it needs in the next
fiscal year.
The next largest provision for new
navy was made in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress when the appropriation bill car
ried three battleships.

"A FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION
Two Persons Killed and Eight Others
Seriously Injured.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1.-TWO per-
sons were killed-the engineer and fire.
maD-and eight others seriously in
jured this morning in collision on the
Pennsylvania railroad, near Steelton.
The accident was caused by a
freight train running into the fast line,
both bound for the east. The switch
in the track on which the freight train
was running, was turned to run in on
the adjoining track, but instead of re-
naming on this track, it continued on
until it struck the passenger train.
Two passenger coaches were overturned
and the occupants huddled together.
Engineer Welsh and Fireman Strouse
were in charge of the locomotive of
the passenger train. Welsh was found
under the mail car terribly scalded
about the head, face and body. He was
taken out Of the wreck alive, but died
soon after reaching the Harrisburg
Hospital Strouse was thrown under
the tender and crushed almost beyond
recognition.
The cars caught fire and much dam
age would have ensued but for the
hard work of the uninjured passengers
in preventing the spread of the flames
by the use of snow The ears were
broken to splinters and the track
blocked several hours. Over 100 sheep
we're killed in the collision.

Brown Not Guilty of immoral Conduct
With Mrs. Stockton,

San Francisco Cal, March 17.-The

the case of Dey. ID. Brown, has acquitted
the accused pastor on one charge. Af-
ter a long debate the council men came
to the conclusion that DR.. Brown was
not guilty of any immoral conduct with

They based their opinion on the fol-
lowing facts;
l. That Mrs Stockton was not a
woman whose testimony could be talk
en- for the truth.
2. That there was no evidence intro
duced that was strong enough in a
legal sense to convict the pastor.
3. That he had shown Mrs. Stockton
kindness in the way that a christian
minister should and that she had TAX
en- advantage of that kindness.
