FOR NEW NAVAL DOCKS.
Naval Chairman Hale and Secretary
Long Hold Conference.

Naval Chairman Hale and Secretary
Long Hold n Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hale,
chairman of the senate committee on
naval affairs has been in conference
with SECRETARY Long with reference to
the proposed legislation for increasing
the docking facilities of the country.
The conference related especially to the
ACCESSIBILITY of substituting floating for
fixed docks at some of the points where
docks are contemplated. There are
some places where docks are consid-
cred desirable, but at which steadfast
structures are not believed to be prac.
tical. Algiers, La, is one of these
points.
1t is practically decided that if any
dock is placed there it will be float
ing one, made of steel. The estimates
of the navy department, SO far as made,
are favorable to the steel structures on
the point of economy, but all the figures

that the general dock question would
be taken up in earnest by the congress
sional committees after the holidays,
and he expressed confidence that legis-
lation ON the general lines of the de-
partment's plans would be secured dur
ing the present session. He thinks
that the continuing contract system
will be adopted in preparing for the
work. so that the immediate appropria-
ton required will not be comparatively
large.

BEN ANDERSON BETTER.
will BE Arrested on the Charge of
assisting Morgan in the Post
Green Murders.

RIPLEY, w. Va. December, 21.--
Ben Anderson, whom John Morgan,
in his last confession, implicated in
the killing of the Pfost-Green family,
is now able to sit up and is being
closely watched, and as soon as he is
sufficiently strong he will be taken
into custody and placed in Jail.
The sentiment here as to Ander-
sons guilt is about equally divided.
Anderson now resides on the Green
farm, occupying the house in which
the murder was committed, and he
has wife and five children, who
weep almost constantly on account of
the husband and father being accused
Of completely in the crime. Ander-
son, even up to this day, has never
accounted for his whereabouts on the
night of the murder, and this, to-
gether with the fact that Morgan at
first implicated him, but no attention
was paid to him, as Alice Pfost's
testimony was considered the only
truthful version of the affir. is chang
ing public sentiment rapidly, and as
Morgan stated that Anderson went
in the house after Alice left for help,
the dead mans confession is being
now given more consideration than
before he paid the penalty. Amber
son is Just recovering from a severe
attack of typhoid fever and is still
very weak.

MONEY APPARENTLY PLENTY:
Acting Comptroller Coffin Calls Atten-
tion to Large Note Retirement.


tion to Large Note Retirement.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Mr. Coffin,
the acting comptroller of the currency,
has called attention TO the fact that the
retirement of national bank notes dur
ing the first 20 days of this month
reached the sum of $3.000,000. This is
said to be the first time during the last
ten years that the voluntary retirements
have reached this amount i'll any one
month. Under the national bank act
the United States treasurer is not
allowed to receive for the retirement of
circulation more than 100000 in any
one month, and hence all deposits to
retire notes during the last ten days of
this month must be refused.
This exceptional condition, Mr.. Coffin
says, is due to the prevailing low rates
of interest, arising from a superabund-
ance of money for investment, which
has advanced the price of United States
bonds. Mr.. Coffin expressed the opin-
ion that the law should be amended in
this particular, as it interferes with the
elasticity of the currency and the nat
ural laws of trade

Rev. DR.. J. W. Hinton, chairman of the
committee on memorials, then read the
memorials of the deceased brothers, TAX
ing up first that of Rev. John w. Burke.
The memorials gave "a brief account of
the lives and work of the brothers, and
the reading of each was followed by talks
upon the characters by some of the preach
ers present Rev. G. G. n. MacDonell
spoke in eulogy of Rev. Mr.. Burke. The
other papers memorialized Rev. Jesse
Jackson Giles of whom Rev j. d. An

Rev. Thomas King Leonard. who was
warmly praised for many good qualities by
his lifetime friend, Rev. Dr. j. o. Branch.
The bishop then said that he has had oc-

there We're but few dry eyes among the
preachers. They all left their
seats and went up to grasp
the hand of the bishop, receive his bless

had spoken. Embraces We're exchanged
by many, and it was described by the
brethren as being a time of wonderful
grace. The meeting was concluded by
the pronunciation of the benediction by
