WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Republic
an National Anti-Civil-service League,
which was organized for the purpose of Sc
curing the repeal or. at least, modification
of the civil-service law, at it's monthly
meeting tonight made public a number of
letters received from the States of North
Carolina Virginia. West Virginia, Ohio,
Michigan, Tennessee and Vermont, asking
to be admitted to membership in the league.
The tenor of the letters was 10 the effect
that the civil-service system is unpopular
in the section written from. Requests were
made for literature touching on the subject,
and in most instances it was said that con-
gressmen would be urged TO take action
against the much-complained-of law 1t is
the intention Of the league TO flood con-
gressional districts in the South and West
with copies of a speech against extending
the civil-seryice law delivered by Hon.
Charles 5. Grosvenor in the House of Rep
resentatives at the last session.
A branch of the ti-Civil-service League

strength, and numerous branches are being
organized throughout the Hoosier State.

There are four noted liars in this city,

For some time they have been compet-
ing in quiet way and each is as jealous
of his reputation as school girl Of her

They met some time ago In business
place on Market street and during the
conversation each told one of their
characteristic lies. When the talk was
finished it was impossible for the man
who acted as referee to pick the winner
and to settle the matter he proposed that
they try public contest for supremacy
As no one would be qualified to Judge
one of their number was to act as referee
on the three, and the winner was to con-

NEW ROUTE TO THE KLONDIKE
1t is Overland From Spokane and If
Known as the telegraph Trail"

WASHINGTON, Dec ia new way to
carry the supplies in to the suffering
miners at Klondike, in accordance with
the bill passed by the House Saturday,
has been offered to Secretary Alger, Con-
gresham Jones of Washington went be-
fore him today with PROPOSE
tion from the Chamber of Com
merce of Spokane to furnish sup
plies, providing the Government would
transport them over the overland route
from Spokane to Dawson. In support
ing this as the best and only feasible
route in the winter time, the Spokane
people say that it is not new trail, but
one that has been used for many years;
that at the present time parties are
travelling over it, and that with rein
deers, or even with borses or dog trains,
provisions can be landed in reasonably
short time at Dawson over this route.
Much attention has Of late boen attract
ed to this route by the many encourag-
ing reports coming from those who have
been over it. 1t is what is known as the
Telegraph Trail" being along the
abandoned line of the Western
Union, commenced in the sixties. The
Spokane Chamber of Commerce last fall
sent two young men over this route to
make detailed report Of it and take
pictures along the way to prove it to be
a good road. 1t is the report OF these
two men, the pictures they have fur
nished, and the statement made by the
many prospectors and trappers
who have Travelled it for many
years that have convinced the people OF
that section that it is a good road. A
number of miners from Dawson who
came out that way early in the fall say
it is safe and easy road with no
mountains or dangers. Secretary Alger
has become interested enough in the
matter to make an engagement for Mon
day with Frederic +. Marvin Ct the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, who,
with maps, data, and pictures, will ex-
plain carefully the full route.

THE NEWEST BATTLESHIP.
Features Of the Plans just Drawn by
the Designing Bureau of the Navy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 19.--Antici-
pating that Congress will authorize the
constructor Of at least one battleship,
the Designing Bureau of the navy has
drawn up preliminary plans for a first
rate vessel of this type, differing some
what from the ships now being built and
intended to have a heavier armament.
Constructor Hichborn, under whose
Fcharge the plans have been prepared,
says that all battleships built in the next
few years should be. Of the most power
full type designed by any navy, but
should have the least draft practicable
with the amount of ordnance and armor
they will carry.
He believes that battleships as rule
draw too much water, and that the
United States Navy should not build
vessels which cannot enter the principal
ports at the ordinary tidal stages. 1t
might be fatal to some of them if injured
in battle to ground in channel when
the government was in hurry to get
them to repair shop.
The new plans call for a ship OF not
less than l6 knots speed under forced
draught, a length of 372 feet by 70 feet
beam, and mean draught OF not more
than "a feet on displacement OF ll,5O0
tons The plans OF the engineers call
for twin screws and vertical triple ex-
pansion engines, with a maximum indi-
Gated horse power OF not less than
10000.
The heaviest guns in the two fore and
aft turrets will be of l3-inch calibre,
which, the ordinance sharps have set
tied, is the proper type for the big bat
tleships, while a large secondary battery
of rapid fire and machine guns is to be
arranged along the broadsides. The tur-
rets will be OF the defective type, and an
interesting feature of the ship is the
more general use Of electricity, including
the appliance of the power to the turn
ing OF the turrets. The second battery
under the plans will be the heaviest car
ried by any battleship designed for the
new navy. The plans have been drawn
thus early in order that bids may be
promptly asked should authority be CIV
en- to Congress. Heretofore the compile
tion Of new ships has been delayed six
months or more owing to the necessity
of drawing entirely new plans.
