GLOWING DESCRIPTIONS AND PICTURES
OF THE RELAxAT1oNs TO BE FOUND IN
THE NORTHERN FORESTS.
With the daylight our hut began to
abound with the activities Of the coming
day. A guide had q fire going, and Mr.
O'Shannahan stood warming himself be-
side it. The Essex trooper, having re-
duced himself TO the buff, put on an old
pair Of moccasins and walked out into
the snow. The New Jersey thermometer
which we had brought along may NOT
have as yet gotten acclimated, but it
solemnly registered degrees below zero.
''Bebe, will you kindly throw bucket
Of water over my back:' he asked; but
Bebe might as well have been asked to
kindly shoot the Essex trooper with .
gun, to hit him with an axe. Bebe
would have neither ice-water, ride, nor
axe on his pious soul.
I knew the stern requirements OF the
morning bath, and devised him with the
desired water, when he capered into the
cabin and began with his crash to vel to
rub for the reaction. Seeing that Mr.,
O'Shannahan was perturbed, said,
ssWhat do ron think Of that actp'
ssOi think mon is ez will aft be the
soide av this stove 40 to be havin' the
loikes Az yez poor ice-wather down his
spoine.''

THREE NEW BATTLEsHlPs.
Proposals for Building Will Be Opened al
Navy Department..

Washington, August 3l.-At noon to-
morrow there will be opened in the office
of the Secretary of the Navy the proposals
for the building of three battleships au-
thorized by the last naval appropriation
bill. These vessels. will represent the
struotion, in many respects being i'm
provements upon the Illinois class Of
battleships upon which they are general
ly patterned.
The Specifications call for vessels OF IL, :
500 tons displacement, about the size OF
the Iowa, but the batteries will be more
formidable, consisting in the turrets Of
13-inch guns, while the Iowa has only H.
inch guns. The speed is fixed at sixteen
knots with provisions for deductions in
price in case OF deficiency, but with no
premiums for excess speed. The Limitation
of the speed TO this figure was only placed
after long controversy between the
bureau chiefs and it is possible that some
of the bidders may propose to raise the
limit even as high as Is knots, knowing
that the department. will take into favor
able consideration any such tender in
making the awards. :.
The department will permit bidders to
submit their own plans or to bid on these
of the department and it is expected that
the result will be that some OF the bidders
will avail of both privileges. One feature
of the designs that is likely to give rise
to criticism is the provision for full
equipment of torpedo tubes, both above
and under water. This is directly opposed
to the Judgment of some of the forelen
naval experts who witnessed the battle or
July Bird, and reported to their home gov
ernments that the torpedo outfits on pat
tleships were a source of great danger to
the ships and their presence was of only
questionable value.

CUNNINGHAM CONFIRMED.

Bosom, August 81. The executive coun-
cii's committee on nominations gave a
hearing this morning on the protest of
the silver democracy against the con-
tirmation of Henry V. Cunningham s
nomination as a member of the ballot law
commission. Hon. W. S. McNary, score.
tary of the democratic state committee
spoke for the professionals claiming that
the executive committee of the Demo-
cratic committee did not recognize Mr..
Cunningham as a Democrat as he was
understood to have voted with the
National Democratic party two years ago
and therefore was not member of the
party casting the second highest vote in
the last election as the law requires the
one appointed to be. Col. Melvin O..
Adams, In response stated that Mr.. Gun
ningham was re-appointed by the Gov
ernor solely on merit, after MIR. Cunning
ham had definitely stated that he was not
and never had been affiliated with the
Democratic national party.
The committee voted to recommend the
confirmation of Mr.. Cunningham.
