General WheeleE's recent de-

From, the Government

CINCINNATI, March ia special 10
The Comrercial-Tribun from Newport

ellis p. Huntington, principal owner OF
.rf Newport News Ship Building and Dry
lock company. has given instructions 10
comt,ence work on the mammoth dry dock
at once This determination on the multi
,nllionare's part is the result of CONFER
ence held In Washington last week be-
tween his lieutenant, Calvin Z. circuit,
president Of the shipbuiidAng company, and
Secretary Long. Mr.. Huntington will ac-
cent no subsidy from the government. He
will furnish the ST. 900, or more II neces-
sary, to build the dock and Will keep In
close touch with his aides from San Fran
cisco, whence he will go In few days.
The dock will be. when completed, 300
feet in length and ninety in breadth. Ii
will be constructed after the most modern
ideas and will be capable of receiving two
of the largest battleships at one time. 1t
is understood that 1000 men will be en-
ployed at once to push the work to compile
ton. All of the necessary soundings have
been made and the material will be ordered
ut once. The site for the new basin will be
directly north of the present dock. which is
now the largest In American waters, al
though lacking few feet of being able to
receive the first class battleships of the
navy. The new dock will be the largest on
the continent.

THE SNOW ON THE STICKEEN
STOPS THE PROGRESS OF THE
MINERS
A Thousand Prospectors Showed in
Between Wrangel and Glenora.
The Exodus Continues

SEATTLE, Wash, March 13.-The
steamer Cottage City, which arrived from
Alaska tonight, brought number of pas
sengers from Fort Wrangel who have
given up the attempt to get into the Yukon
country by way of the Stickeen route.
Among them was A. l.. Brown of Massa-
chusetts, who succeeded in getting about
thirty miles above Wrangel with his out
fit before the depth Of snow stopped fur
ther progress Mr. Brown says that
about 1000 men with their outfits are snow
ed in between Wrangel and Glenora.
Mckenzie and Mann, who are to con-
struct a railroad between the Stickeen
river, and Lake Teslin have got their con-
struction outfits thirty miles above Wran-
gel. They will probably be left there until
the snow melts in the spring. Mr.. Brown
started to the Yukon last fall, and after
pacing his outfit over the Chilcoot pass to
the lakes decided that he could not get
down the river, SO he sold his supplies and
returned to Wrangel and tried the Stickeen
with no better success.
VANCOUVER, q. c., March 13.-The

Legislative Action
vIRGINIA'S CONTEST CASES
Associated Press Special Wire


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13-
There is no prepared program for the
senate this week. If Senator Bacon Is
prepared to speak on the Hawaiian annex
alton treaty it will be taken up promptly,
as, indeed, 1t will be II any senator is pre-
pared to go on with the debate. 1t is not
expected, however, that there will be much
further discussion Of this subject in exec
utive session, and 1t Is the intention of Sem
ator Davis, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, at very early
day to move to lay Senator Davis plebis-
cite motion on the table. 1t is on this
movement that the managers of the treaty
hope to secure a test vote, and Senator
Davis said today that he was hopeful that
this vote might be reached during the pres
ent week. Senator Pettigrew Is anxious
and hopes to get his per cent land bill be-
fore the senate early in the week, and Sem
ator Vest will make an effort to secure con-
sideration of the quarantine bill. There Is
also a possibility that the census bly, may
be pEessed for consideration. An entirely
new census bill probably will be offered.
providing for the establishment of the
census machinery instead of preliminary
amendments for it, as the bin first pre-
pared did. The committee on approprla-
tions are hopeful of being able to report
the sundry civil bill during the week, and
If it should be successful this measure will
be pressed upon the attention of the senate
to the exclusion of everything else.
IN THE HOUSE
Th program of the house this week as
mapped out would be completely changed
If anv movement Is made in connection
with the Spanish crisis involving legisla-
tive acton. But as at present arranged, 1t
includes simply the consideration of the
postal appropriation bill and the Virginia
contested election case of Thorpe-Epps,
with the possibility that the naval appro-
priation bill, which will be reported Mon
day or Tuesday, may be reached at the
tail end of the week. There will be con-
fiict for precedence between the election
case and the postoffice BILL Chairman
Walker of the election committee and
Chairman Loud of the postofice commit
tee each firmly contesting for the right
of way.
Chairman Walker insists that the con-
tested election case, being a question of
the highest privilege, should have preced-
ence under the rules, but the house by vote
could give the postoffice bill precedence.
The Democrats intend to contest the elec-
ton case bitterly, as upon the decision in
this case they believe will depend the fate
of the other two cases from Virginia, an
other of which was reported against the
sitting member. 1t is expected that tive
report Of the committee will also be against
Mr.. Swanson. from the Danviile, Va, dis
trict.

BRYAN AND M'KINLEY HOMES
WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION AT
OMAHA
The Buildings to Be Reproduced and
Filled With "Non-Partisan" Me-
mentoes Of the Campaign

OMAHA, Neb., March Ex-senator John
NJ Thurston, chairman of the senate COM
mttee on expositions, recently suggested
that the Mckinley home at Canton be re-
produced as the Ohio state buildings on
the grounds of the Transmississippi expo
sition at Omaha.
The board OF managers approved the
idea. The building, when constructed, will
be used as place of reception for Ohioans,
and 1t is proposed to exhibit therein many
mementoes Of the late campaign, avoiding,
as far as possible, anything savoring of
partisanship. Noting the action of the
board of managers, the friends Of William
]. Bryan lost no time in putting a PROPOSE
tion looking to the reproduction of the
Bryan homestead at Lincoln. Citizens Of
Lincoln, Neb., addressed communication
to the exposition authorities asking per-
mission to place on the exposition grounds
a duplicate of Mr.. Bryans homestead, and
to exhibit therein campaign and other
relics, of which Mr.. Bryan is said to have
no less than carload. Yesterday the
board of managers unanimously voted au-
thority to the buildings and grounds de-
partment to allow the space for such a
building, making proviso. as was done in
the case of the Mckinley homestead, that
the exhibits be non-competitive, and not
for sale.
Thirty-five states to date have organized
for participation. New York, Kentucky
and Tennessee are the latest committees
appointed. DR.. Chauncey M. Depew heads
the committee of the Empire state. and
writes to the management that he will aid
IN placing a large state exhibit State
committees for Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island will be soon an
nounced. Agents in Canada and Mexico
report those government to be preparing
comprehensive exhibits.

ever. had been allowed a secret handicap
Of ten seconds, which made his time seven
seconds faster than that of the scratch
men, and gave him first prize. Considering
the fact that strong wind prevailed the
time made by Fuller 2S:01, was an excellent
performance, the record for the course

THE COURT REPORT
And the Course of Procedure Marked
Out

, ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 14.-The
, Globes Washington special says:
. The president and his cabinet
D know, officially, the result of the
, Maine inquiry.
, They are prepared to act.
D They have canvassed the course Of
, events, so far as they can foresee
, them and have formulated a policy
, to meet the emergency. Along it's
, lines the administration expects to
, move unless it is swept off it's feet by
, wave of popular dissatisfaction.
, The Globe special correspondent is
, able to present the forecast Of
, events as viewed by the president
, and his cabinet 1t can be outlined
, thus:
, First-The board of inquiry will re-
} port this week that the explosion
, was external.
, Second-The president will inn
, mediately, through Minister Wood
, ford, demand from Spain an indem-
, nification of $10,000,000.
} Third-Spain is expected to reply,
, expressing her willingness to pay If
, she is responsible, but maintaining
, that her own investigation shows
, that the explosion was internal and
} purely accidental. She will, there
} fore. suggest reference to an inter-
} national board of arbitration.
, Fourth-In such an event the ad-
, ministration would be disposed to
, comply with the suggestion, unless
, there is an emeute in Havana or an
} irresistible demand for war sweeps
} through congress.
, Fifth-If congress acquiesces in
, the suggestion, the attempt will be
} made to adjourn and leave the
} whole matter in the presidents
, hands.
} Sixth--It is expected that large
, majority of congressman will claim
} that such a matter Of honor cannot
, be arbitrated. 1t is' further ex-
, pected that the leaders of both
} houses, including Senator Davis of
, Minnesota. will favor arbitration.
