that Bavaria advocates an Increase of

Father Malone has been a close stu

better than the majority of Socialists

people in the city, and his criticisms of

Chief Constructor Hichborn Makes an
Earnest Plea for Better Dry
Dock Facilities

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-In his an
nual report to the secretary Of the navy,
Philip Hichborn, chief constructor of the
navy, says the strength of the navy on
October 1 was 141 vessels all told. Dur
ing the last few months of the fiscal year
a considerable amount Of work ON ves-
sells that had been authorized by con-
gress had to be suspended owing to lack
of funds. This caused a heavy drain
upon the new appropriations at the be-
ginning of the present fiscal year anc
makes the exhaustion of those appro-
priation before the 1st Of next July al
most an assured fact
Chief Hichborn says this Is discour-
aging state of affairs, as the exhaustion
means wholesale reduction Of the navy
yard forces and the discharge of compe-
tent and trained men. He points to the
advantage anc, economy of having at
least one building at each important
navy yard
Attention is called to the urgent need
Of improving the navy yard plants ia
the interest of economical execution OF
work, and estimates are submitted for
each yard.
A plant at Puget Sound is said to be
necessary.
During the last year the government
accepted finally four ships, the Mas
sachusetts, Oregon, Ericsson and Brook
lyn, while eleven vessels have been ac-
cepted preliminary and subject to final
test, viz, Iowa, Nashville, Wilmington,
Helena, Annapolis ,Vicksburg, Newport,
Wheeling, Marietta, Porter and Foote.
Particular attention is invited to the
good results attending the construction
Of the Iowa. OF the gunboats the re-
ports says their first cost was remark
ably low, aggregating $2,OoO,OOO for the
nine, or not more than the cost of the
first class armored cruiser. The cost of
their maintenance, particularly with
copper bottoms and considerable sail
power, should be minimum.
The chief constructor, who 10 charged
with the duty Of docking ships, makes
an urgent plea for maintaining better
docks, stating that the navy has been
at serious Inconvenience during the
past six months from lack of proper IA
cilities for docking battleships
Chief Hichborn, under the head of
armor, renews his suggestion that the
department should no longer make sep
arate contracts for ships and, their armor
but should permit the shipbuilder to
supply the armor.

CURRENCY MEASURES
AGREED ON BY THE MONETARY
COMMISSION
No Widespread Demand Discovered
for the Withdrawal Of Green
backs and Treasury Notes

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-When the
monetary commission reconvenes on
November it will be ready to begin the
preparation of its currency measures
and the report that will accompany it.
The measure itself will not be one Of
great length and it is probable that the
report, instead of attempting to give
digest of all the suggestions and tesii-
mony before the commission will confine
itself to clear statement of facts and
terse argument in support of the meas
ure agreed upon
The commissions asked number of
questions of number Of financial ex-
perts and men of large experience in
financial affairs. The tenor of the re-
plies received is conservative and de-
molishes the rather widespread notion
that there is a desire among this class
for the withdrawal of greenbacks and
treasury notes.
One Of the best known financiers of
the country said to the Associated Press
representative in discussing the work of
the commission:
Il think the revenue and finance de-
partments of the government should be
completely separated. Revenue is one
question and the problem OF currency
and banking is another, and in their de-
tails they have no proper connection.
"The national banks should be per-
mitted to issue notes to the par value of
the government bonds held by them.
Canada has fairly good system for the
regulation of bank circula ton, and it
might be studied with profit. do not
believe the American people are pre-
pared for the withdrawal of the green
backs or treasury notes, nor Will they be
until banking act establishes an
absolutely safe banknote circulation
ard the people come to recognize it as
such. Such a bank currency must be
national in character. 1t would be idle
to talk of a state bank issue. This coun-
try has had bitter experience in thai
direction and the people understand it:
