Plan For New Yorl.,s pefense.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-An interesting
plan for increasing the strength of the
Notifications i'm New York harbor IS pro-
posed by Representative Fisher OF Brook
lyn. The project is for the reclamation OF
Romor shoals, shoal of about 33 acres, a
few miles north Of Sandy Hook and IA
miles south OF Forts Hamilton and Wads
worth. The shoals are only about six feet
under water and Mr.. Fisher would have
erected upon them three revolving turrets,
each of which could be armed with two
heavy guns. This sort of harbor work has
been used by France at several points on
her coast and is approved by military men.
Mr. Fisher says that the turrets could be
manned by fewer men than are required
for the crew of monitor. The guns would
command the main ship channel and Ged
neys channel. while the turrets. because
of their small size and height, would fur
nish a very poor target for vessels. Mr.
Fisher Will introduce a bill authorizing
the president to appoint a board Of three
engineer officers of the army TO report up.

make estimates of its cost

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The conferees

The Corliss amendment adopted by the

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan 2O.-Ex-Con.
gresham william E. Mason was nomi
mated for United States senator at the Re
publican joint caucus after one of the most
bitterly fought battles in the history OF
the Republican party in Illinois. Although
he bad bcen canvassing the state as a sen
atorial candidate for two years, Mr.. Ma
sons selection was regarded by machine"
politicians as an impossibility ND to with
in two hours Of the time of his triumph
ant nomination, the choice being the re-
suit of the sudden withdrawal from the race
of Congressman William LOrimer, who
had held the almost solid vote of Chicago
and Cook county. The contest had been so
long drawn out and the battle so fierce
that the legislators were in mood to be
stampeded at any moment, and as the
hour for the caucus drew near and the
sudden shifting Of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the other candidates off
their feet, the tide turned toward the ex-
congressman with rush that carried ey-
erything before it, and the nomination
was made without the most feeble show Of
opposition.
Mr.. Mason's selection was distinct de-
feat for the combination Of politicians
known as the. machine and a victory
for Mckinleys forces in the state NJ. b.
Madden, the Chicago alderman, who was
at the outset the machine candidate. and
who until a little more than week ago
seemed to be certain of nomination, lost
his hold on the legislators and was forced
to withdraw, largely as the result Of the
belief that his nomination was opposed by
the president elect.
