Annual Report of Chief Naval Constructor

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-In his annual
report to the secretary Of the navy,
Philip Hichborn, chief constructor of
the navy, says that the strength OF the
navy on Oct. / was al vessels all told.
including the ships of both old and new
navies. 1t is stated that during the last
few months of the last fiscal year a con.
siderable amount of work upon vessels
that had been authorized by congress
had to be suspended owing to a lack OF
funds. This caused a heavy drain upon
the new appropriations at the begin
ming of the present fiscal year. and
makes the exhaustion of those appro-
priations before the LIST Of next July al
most an assured fact.
Chief Hichborn says this is a dis
couraging state of affairs, as the ex'
haustion means a wholesale reduction
of the hayward forces and the dis
charge Of competent and trained men.
He points to the advantage and econ
omy Of having at least n vessel build
ing at each important navy yard.

Union Pacific Reorganization Committee
Makes q Statement.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-The Union
Pacific reorganization committee has
made the following announcement:
"The attorney general has notified
this committee that he proposes to ask
the court for an adjournment of the
foreclosure sale of the Kansas Pacific
and Union Pacific railway property to
Dec. 10, so as to postpone final disposi.
ton until after congress shall have met.
This action is no doubt taken to free
the administration from embarrass-
ment.
"The reorganization committee has,
however, reached the conclusion that
interests of the security holders, repre-.
sented by it and of the syndicate tul.
nishing the funds to finance the reor-
%ganization, demand reorganization with
out any further delay. In this situa.
ton the committee contemplates, SO as
to gain prompt possession Of the Union
Pacific line, to oppose any adjournment
of the sale of the main line and to bid
it in, if need be, for the full amount Of
the governments claim, the additional
sum involved in this being So, 1000, 900. J"

 A doctor knows that certain remedies affect certain diseases.
 When a disease seems to have no remedy, the doctors pronounce it incurable. All the time Nature may have the remedy right at hand. but it will only be discovered by the doctor who has studied longer and deeper than others into this particular disease.
 Consumption seemed for long time with out remedy, until Dr. Pierce made his wonderful "Golden Medical Discovery" 90 years ago. It has proved to be a marvellous and almost unfailing specific for consump- ton and all forms of lung, bronchial and throat difficulties.
 Its effects seem almost magical but its op- eration is based upon simple natural laws. the blood-making glands to manufacture healthy, red blood and pour it abundantly into the circulation. This nourishing, vital iziug effect is rapidly manifested in the lungs and bronchial tubes where 1t stops the wasting process and builds up healthy tissue.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Thc United States is now maintaining 2s scientific bureaus, giving employment to 5,225 persons. For the support of them the government is appropriating nearly Ss,O0O,O O,OOO. The A agricultural expcri- ment stations are not included. The trouble about this very liberal encour- agement of scientific work at public ex- pense is that most of the bureaus are working entirely independent of the others, supervised and directed by their immediate chiefs, who have wide lati- tude in the exercise of their discretion, and are at liberty to branch out in al- most any direction, provided they can secure an appropriation from congress to pay the necessary expenses. The remedy for this confusion and duplica- tion is a consolidation into depart ment of science, with & director in charge. The proposition of Assistant Secretary Dabney, of the department of agriculture, is that board be formed to perfect consolidation.

SarsapariIIa
DO NOT FAvoR A REDUCTION.

In the matter of the communication of the Secretary of the State Grange of Illinois dated January 1st, 1897, embodying reso- lution of that body adopted at it's December meeting, 1896, asking the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners to reduce the passenger rate from three cents to two cents per mile.
 The Commission is of the opinion that to do so at this time would be unwise and un.. warranted and would be unjust to the rail-. road interest of the state While some of the great Trunk Lines in Illinois might be able to stand such a reduction, yet the smaller roads and those which do almost wholly local business, and which are now and have been for the last two years strug- gling for existence, would be most seriously affected by it.
 Such action on our part would simply in. crease the heavy burdens under which they are staggering now. It is well known fact to those who have taken the trouble to investigate the amount of passenger busi- ness done by the railroads in Illinois during the past two years that there has been large decrease in the number of passengers carried. This is due in our judgment not to the amount charged for such service but to the general depression in all lines of busi- ness, the low prices of farm products and the unsettled financial conditions which have had their effect on the passenger as well as the freight business.
 And it is also fact, as shown by the sworn reports of the railroads of Illinois, that the capital invested in such property has not paid even a afairinterestto the stock holder. This question was before us when we revised the freight schedule in 1895 and tho whole question was thoroughly consid- cred. We did not think then and neitherdo we feel now that in justice to both the pub lie and the railroads, because each should stand on the same equality before the law, this reduction should be made at this time. If the country was prosperous our conclu- sions might be different.
 The statistics in our office show that for the past three years, 1894, 1895 and 1896, the average amount charged by the railroads per passenger mile is fraction above two z cents, although the maximum allowed them was tbree cents.
 For the reasons above stated we do not feel that this reduction should be made at this time. We are also asked to recommend this reduction to the Legislature. In view of our conclusion we do not feel that it would be consistent for us to do SO; how ever, the Legislature has the power to rcgu- late the maximum rate which can be charged for passenger service and we leave the mat ter to their wisdom.
