OUR DOCKING SYSTEM.
Constructor Bowies Speaks About the
HaIifax backyard.

Halifax DOckyard.
Washir ton, Sept. 4-Acting Secretary
Roosevelt has held several conferences
with Admiral Matthews chief of the
bureau Of yards and docks, and Con-
structor Bowles of the New York navy
yard, who came to Washington for that
purpose. touching the best method for
Fastening the work Of repairing the big
drydock No. g. The discussion touch
ed upon the selection of one Of the civil
engineers of the navy, who will devote
his entire attention to the work. which
the department regards as Of the first
Importance.
Constructor Bowles went to Halifax
and was in charge OF the docking OF the
Indiana and he discussed the English
docking system and also the dock at
Halifax with Mr.. Roosevelt. lie saws
that the Halifax dock Is a fine one and
Of the substantial kind that should be
built in the United states. Speaking OF
the necessity Of docking other naval
vessels. he said that the New York and
Texas ought TO go into dock as soon as
the squadron finished its maneuvers
1t is possible to dock these vessels in
dock No. 2. New York yard, at spring
tide. but it is a very difficult task. The
work on them win have TO be completed
In a very short time, or the dock VIII
be occupied for two weeks. AS to the
other vessels, Constructor Bowles was
OF opinion that the repairs on dock No
would be completed in time for them
unless accidents should necessitate i'm
mediate repairs.
The constructor also spoke of the ne
cessity for more docks. He said that IL
was not likely that another vesse
would be sent TO Halifax unless in case
Of dire necessity, and he believed thai
the fact that vessels had to be sent
away would cause the building OF more
docks. He thinks that hereafter docks
should be built to last as long as the
pyramids and large enough to accom-
modato the largest vessels.

IS NOT CERTAIN YET
DIR. Andrews Win Not Commit
Himself Definitely
AN INTERVIEW WITH Mr.. WALKER.
The President OF the New Cosmopolitan
University May Yet Prove Iden-
tical with the Head of
Brown University.

New York. Sept. An an interview
yesterday afternoon John Brlsben
Walker. the inaugurator Of the new
Cosmopolitan university. said that DR.
Il. Benjamin Andrews had a long con-
ference with him at Irvngton -on- the
Hudson, during which the prospectus
Tor the new project was gone over and
carefully prepared IT is now ready for
the printer and Will be made public in
"A very short time.
From Mr. Walkers remarks as to the
possibility Of DR. Andrews going back
20 Brown university. nothing else could
be inferred but that DR. Andrews had
assumed complete control OF the Cos
mopolitan university ana he would es-
tablish his headquarters at Providence.
I'm view of the fact that Brown has
treated him so nicely" said Mr.. Walk
er, II have no doubt that he will look
after that unlversty's interests until
such time as new president shall be
appointed
DIR. Andrews Position.
Dr. Andrews has given out the fol-
lowing statement:
Some weeks ago. when I thought
severance Of my relations with Brown
university Inevitable. / assumed the re-
sponsibility OF conducting during the
coming year a very important new edu-
catlonnl undertaking projected by John
Brisben Walker. but now soon to be
taken In charge by corporation made
up Of we'll known gentlemen. all sound
money" men, deeply interested in the
proposed educational enterprise. The
work to be done by the new corporation
Is in the nature Of the university ex-
tension already carried on by Brown
university. so that the head of Brown
university might conceivably be the
same person who has charge of the new
work. There would in the nature of the
case be nothing incongruous In such a
union as appears In the fact that Presi-
dent Harper OF Chicago university Is
also collegiate principal of the Chau-
tauqua university. Yet / do not myself
deem that sort OF a union In the present
case advisable or likely to give salts
faction. If resorted TO. it will be only
a device to tide over a temporary diff
Guilty. Either the old enterprise or new
VIII be itself sufficient to tax the ener-
gies OF any one man.
Just what permanent settlement will
be arrived at / am not yet In a position
to state. 1t Is hoped that II will be the
one best calculated to further the cause
Of education"
When asked whether he would with
draw his resignation from Brown uni
verslty. the doctor said he could not
state positively what he would do until
ne had consulted the trustees and fel-
lows Of Brown university. He said that
there We're nearly 1000 applications bs
letter for the new university and thai
he would begin to answer them on mex
Monday week. Brown university vii
open two days later, and this in itsel
would show that DR.. Andrews has GER
tainly a very deep interest in the wei
fare Of the new scheme.

THE RINGS IDENTIFIED.
Judge Tuthill Pays a visit TO Luetgert'i
Sausage Factory.


Chicago, Sept. 4.-Three women gave
damaging evidence against the defend
ant in the Luetgert trial. They positive
ly identified the rings found in the vat
as being the property OF Mrs. Luetgert
and said that they had seen them on
her hands. one Of them had talked
with Mrs. Luetgert about the rings and
so felt sure that the rings found in the
vat and those she saw on the fingers Of
Mrs Luetgert We're the same. The de-
fense made a desperate effort 10 break
down the evidence of the three women,
but they stuck TO their stories.
The afternoon session Of court was
short. as Judge Tuthill said that he de-
sired to make a personal visit 10 the
factory and see for himself where the
murder is said to have been committed.
He took with him one attorney from
the side of the defense and one from
those engaged in the prosecution. and
during their visit TO the factory no
other person was allowed around the
premises. Carl Voelker. a chemist, who
had been at one time engaged with
Luetgert In the manufacture Of per-
manganate of potash and was at one
time a shipping clerk IN the factory
testified during the afternoon session
that he was familiar with all Luetgerti
processes Of making sausage, and h'
had never had any occasion 20 use an,
caustic potash around the place.

tary sherman.
Washington. Sept. 4.-Judge Pettis of
Pennsylvania, attorney for Mr.. V. II.
MacCord in his claim against Peru, has
forwarded the following letter to Sec
retary Sherman under date of Sept. 3:
I'm view of the statements given to
the press yesterday by Mr.. Minister
Eguiguren, after stating that he had
held a conference with you concerning
the MacCord case. 1 beg leave to sub
init for your information the conclu-
sion of a letter received by me from V.
II. MacCord. dated Arequipa. Peru,
July 27, 1897, being in the following
words:
san Roman has published a long
statement setting forth that he sup
posed was in collusion with the invad-
ing forces (June. 1850. and put me in
prison to save me from the mob. There
was no mob. and If there had BEEN
was safer than he from It: and be-
sides. If his object was to protect me.
was it necessary to deprive me Of food,
water and furniture while In Jail and
to make me pay for my protection? OF
course. I could easily refute all such
stuff If I chose TO go into print but
after mature deliberation I have re-
solved not to answer anything. The
Areauipa papers have not even copied
any of the articles, because here the
facts are we'll known, and everybody
knows that what San Roman has pub
lsbed Is all false and written to defend
himself in a criminal suit which the
government is carrying on against him
now"
San Roman mentioned in the letter,
Is tn man because Of whose Ill treat
ment Mr.. MacCord brought his claim.

A FLORIDA CANAL.
Opinion Expressed on Its Userulaess In
Case of international War.


New York, Sept. 4.--Articles have
been filed with County Clerk Henry ID.
Purroy for the incorporation of the
Florida Transpeninsular Ship Canal
company. The chief incorporators are
Robert May Caffall Freeman IL. Bald
win, H. Bolet Peraza, consul general for
the Greater Republic of Central Amer
lea in this city; Benjamin F. Cromwell
and Francis p. Fleming. The capital IS
SIS 900, ,OO0
The projectors have in mind the
building OF a ship canal and railway 70
connect the Atlantic with the gulf. The
new canal will be Of sufficient capacity
for the passage Of ocean going vessels.
Consul General Peraza said that the
new canal would be Of the greatest i'm
portance to the United States
1T will be of great advantage in the
defense of the country in case of an in
ternational war" said he, "as well as
being Of the greatest commercial benefit
in times of peace. It win shorten the
time for vessels going 20 Texas or
Mexico by three days. The waters
around the southern coast Of Florida
are very treacherous owing to the nu-
merous currents. All this danger Will
be done away with.
I'VE expect that 5000, 900 tons Of
freight viii pass through the canal each
year, and even light tolls on this VIII
make the enterprise pay. We have APP
piled for the charter and will probably
get it next month. AS soon as 1t Is
issued we will begin work.
"Mr. Caffall, our civil engineer. has
already surveyed tie ground. and all
arrangements have Leen made TO push
the work"
The consul general further said that
the harbor of St Augustine would be
the eastern entrance to the new canal.
The width Of the waterway will be 200
feet through its entire length. and 1t
will be deep enough to allow the largest
ship to pass through. II will probably
be about five years before the canal Is
finished

He Refused 70 ReappOInt Deputles.

Washington. Sept. 4.-Colonel James
d. Brady. collector of internal revenue
for the Richmond district. has refused
to reappoint the deputies of his prede-
cessor. and the matter has been in
formally called to the attention of Sec
retary Gage. It seems that, while civil
service examinations have been held in
that district. the pressure Of business
has prevented the civil service commiss
sioner from certifying an eligible list
so that Colonel Brady in appointing
outsiders, was acting within the emer-
gency clause of the law. These appoint
ments are, however, temporary. Sec
rotary Gage does not approve Of any
attempt to disregard the civil service
law. An eligible list will be certified
for the Richmond district, and perma
nent appointments will have to be made
from this list.
