1t is known that the Cunard line
officers have been on the outlook for
months past for radical improvements
in steamship construction, the object
being to produce a vessel which will
attract greater attention than,the huge
Oceanic, now building for the White
Star line. The Oceanic, as the larg-
est and swiftest vessel in the world, is
a distinct challenge to all of the other
first-class companies. and, as the
Cunard line has always maintained
its eminence in ocean travel by the
sensational speed of its steamers, it is
believed that it will be forced TO Guido
the Oceanic or lose prestige.
That the latter will not happen with
out an effort on the part of the Cunard
directors has been demonstrated by
their interest in the Turbinia. and it
is this which makes steamship men
generally believe that the four-day
boat is not far distant. If the rumors
from London saying that within a
month the Cunard company will place
an order fer a 500-foot steamer. to be
operated by the turbine system prove
true, the other first-class lines will be
forced 10 follow suit, notably the AM
erican line, which, with its American
built flyers, st. Paul and St. Louis.
has taken first rank among the differ
ent companies.
The effects of the change. would be
even more far-reaching than this, as
all of the great naval powers of the
world would, in the race for speed
supremacy, be forced to adopt the new
system. Low coal consumption and
high speed have never yet been found
in company. although they have been
the dual aim of marine engineers and
constructors since the time of the first
steamboat. They have. in fact, been
marine world, and if this has really
come its future developments will make
the invention of the airshiD a needless
task. SIS far as speedy crossing of the
Atlantic is concerned.

men say that the solution of the rid

they base their prophecies concerning
the four-day boat upon. The recent
trials of the turbine system of pro-

been powerful enough 10 attract the
serious attention of the directors of

Affairs in Ecuador

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-A special to
the Herald from Panama says: Tele-
graphic advces from the Herald 8 corre-
spondent in Guayaquil Ecuador, state
that a leading newspaper of that city, a
semi official organ, declares that an
other conspiracy to overthrow the gov
ernment has been unearthed The base
of operations of the conspira tors, it is
asserted, is in the Peruvian frontier
towns, and the leaders of the movement
and conservatives, clericals and a few
liberal malcontents.
President Alfaro who left Guayaquil
for Quito on August 5th has stopped at
Quannandro, between the capital and
Guayaquil. This is due to the illness of
his wife, but there is general belief that
the real cause was rumor that the con-
spirators would soon begin opera tions
along the Peruvian frontier.

The Schofield Murder

SAN JOSE Aug. 12.-Developments
considered significant by the police came
to light this evening in connection with
the Schofield case. Dr. j. l.. Higgins of
Morgan Hill, who was summoned by
Mrs. Schofield on Saturday morning, has
stated that when he arrived he exam
ned Schofield's body and concluded that
he had been killed prior to midnight
Friday, probably earlier, and not at $50
Sunday morning, as has been stated.
Schofield was found with a shotgun ly-
ing by him. Death was due to hemor-
rhage solely, and man able to look for
his enemy with a shotgun in his hands,
the doctor says, would most likely have
had strength to fire gun The officers
believe the gun was placed by Schofields'
body after his death to subsedntiate a
theory.
