HIS OWN r1INUTES PRODUCED.
u. p. Hayes Recorded His Gift OF So;
to the A. o. II. Division.

The evidence in the suit of d. 2.
Hayes against the local division of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, to
recover S25 sick benefits, waSsall put
in yesterday afternoon, and the argu-
ments will be made Tuesday next.
The defense, having admitted that
Mr.. Haeys had been entitled to re-
ceive the sick benefits, obtained per-
mission to present it's side first and
d. P. Hayes was called for cross ex.
animation. Then the following mem
bers of the division were called: t.
R. Coughlan, M. j. Cuddy, James
Dougherty, Daniel Coughlan, Martin
McHale, J. L. Cuddy, Hugh Nc
Laughlin and J. P. Cuddy. These
were all present at the meeting of the
division when the matter of the sick
benefits came up, and all testified that
MIR. Hayes had donated the money to
the division, to help meet the ex-
penses of the state convention, which
was then soon to meet in this city.
Some of them had hesitat ed about
accepting the donation, but Mr.. Hayes
had assured them that it was his de-
sire that the division have the money
and that as the money was his he
thought that he could do what he
pleased with it. The understanding
finally was that the division would
accept the money, although no formal
motion to that effect was made.
Mr.. Hayes was the recording secre-
tary of the division at the time of the
meeting referred to, April 18th, 1896.
and wrote the minutes Of the meet
ing, which were produced in evidence.
That part referring to the sick bene-
fits, as appears in Mr.. Hayes own
handwriting, reads as follows,
I'D. P. Hayes thanked the sick COM
mittee for their favorable report and
donated the S25 back to the division
for to be used at the coming state
convent ton, which meets June 10th"
These minutes were read at the next
meeting and adopted.
Mr.. Hayes was the only witness
called on his side, and he denied that
ne had donated the money to the
division. In explanation of the min
utes, he said that several matters
were being discussed at the time and
he got his minutes little twisted. =
The defense will probably be that
the division did not formally accept
the donation, but the approval OF the
minutes will probably be claimed by
the division to be sufficient accept
ance.

THIRD LARGEST REPUBLIC.
Brazil and Mexico Each Claim This
Position.

\ lecturer i'm McNico having re-
Gently made the statement that "McV-
leo is the third greatest of the worlds
republic a correspondent sent to
the New York sun asking for infor-
nation on the subject. The Sun, in
reply says that "thc lecturer made a
mistake. Brazil is the third greatest
Of the worlds republics, and our es-
termed neighbor. Mexico. is the
fourth. In rank, so far as population
is concerned. the chief republics stand
thus: The United States. France.
Brazil, Mexico. After these four there
stand Argentine Colombia, and Chill,
in South America. and Switzerland IN
Europe. When we come to the re-
publics of Central America I'VE OBJ
serve that the population of the whole
five of them is less than that of the
enlarged city of New York.
Brazil is far ahead of Mexico, both
in the size of its territory and i'm the
number of its inhabitants. Brazil's
population is now over 1S.O00,OO0,
while MeXico's is 12.000.0OO. The area
of Brazil is more than four times as
great as that of Mexico. As to the
relative Importance of the CONNER
cial interests of the two countries

"The city of Rio de Janeiro, the
capital of the Brazilian republic. is
now nearly twice as large as the City

republic. In Brazil there are num-,

'The population of Brazil is enlarg.

Brazil, but that does not prevent us
from correcting the lecturer who said
! that Mexico is the third greatest OF
the worlds republics, when in truth
it is the first.
"If you add up the figures of the
| population of France, Brazil and Mex
leo, the three Republics that stand
next to the United States, you will
find that the sum total is millions less
than that of the population of oul
own country. Yet we are not at al

good friends of all the republics il

JAPANESE WARSHIPS.
A Powerful Fleet to be Built in Eng.
land, Germany and France.

Word comes to the L. S. Navy Depart
ment from England that the japanese
Government has arranged for the con-
struction of Il powerful fleet of yes,
sells in England, Germany and France.
According to this information some
of the new vessels are to be battle
ships of the first class, equal in pow
err to the best of other navieS, while
others are to be torpedo boats of the
latest design. 1t is reported that the
Full and the Gashima, two fine war
ships ordered Just after the close of
the war with China, are nearly ready
for commission, and will soon be sent
to Japan.
A first class battleship. the Sinks.
ma, of $4,000 tons displacement and
$4,000 horse power. is now building in
Great Britain, and is to be delivered
in two years. In her class, the report
states, she will probably have no SUI
perior afioat. Another ship of her
type has lately been ordered and is
to be undertaken at once.
Clydebank and Stettin have also re-
ceived orders for two powerful battle
ships of equal displacement and fight
ing power.
An immense cruiser of 1850 tons
displacement and $500 horse power,
is to be completed this year at Clyde
bank, while two thirty-knot torpedo
destroyers are being built by the
Thorncrofts and four at Yarrows. A
German firm has also received orders
to build five twenty-four knot torpe-
do boats, and five are also to be built
at Havre. This feet of warships is
far larger than that now building for
the United States.
