TIE RICE CROP.
Wilmington Dispatch.)

The area Of rice to be planted this sea
son will be greatly Increased over that
of last season. The successful season
Of last year and the protection afforded
by the Dinglcy bill are the principal rca-
sons for this increase.
While the crop last year was not Il
large ono. the AREA planted being small
the yield was fair. the quality good and
the price satisfactory. This, together
with the increased protection afforded
by the DinGlcy bill, has tended to put the
planters III good spirits. Another good
thug which has come their way is the
mild. dry winter. The planters all de
clare it to have been the best winter
season for preparing lands for the crop
that has been known i'll years. The
Lands have been we'll plowed, fcrtlllz"d
and narrowed. and are now ready for
the planting of this year.
The favorable weather gave the plan
tiers the opportunity which they desired.
i'll view of all the circumstances, of cN-
tending their acreage. The planters have
had so many unsatisfactory experiences
in previous Years that even the fact of
Il high tariff does not incline them to
enter upon extensive operations. Lou
siana. which is now the chief rice pro-
ducing State. is said to be preparing for
Il very large increase in acreage ana
it is feared that Il large crop there will
keep down prices.

TO BUILD ANOTHER MAINE
HOUSE NAVAL COMMITTEE PROVIDE FOR
THREE NEW B%ATTLESHlPS.
TO Be of the Finest Paitern--The Naval Ap-
preparation Bill viii Garry in
All $780, 900, 900.

Washington, ID. c., March 11.-Three
new battle ships. of the staunchest type
atioat. were authorized by the
House Committee IN Naval Affairs
to-day. and Il provision for their con-
struction inserted in the Naval Aprro-
ton bill. At the same time the commit
tee agreed on Il maximum price of 500
per ton for armor plat for our vessels,
increased the force of Naval marines by
4I3 men and put matters in fair shape
for il decision tomorrow on the location
Of dry docks. probably four in numner,
capable of accommodating the largest
sized war vessels. The committee WAS
i'll session practically all day and before
the decision on the increase of the ships
was reached there was Il long and in
tereSting discussion.
Representative Tate. democrat. Geor-
Sial. while fayOrin@ an increase. be
iIcY"h that two vessels would be ample.
and that further expenditure beyond the
Point of necessity should be avoided.
hen the vote was taken there was
but one dissenting voice: Mr.. Tate in
sisted that Two battlcShips would be
sufficient to meet present needs. The
new ships provided for will be Of the
fincst pattern. 1t will be two years
doubtless before they can be placed
i'll commission. One of them. the com
mittCc. decided, should bear the name
of the Inflated Maine. The a%ppropria-
ton for their construction was not fixed.
being referred to the subcommittee on
appropriations which will report to the
full committee tomorrow. The cost. it
is expected, will be about five million dol
lars each. though for the fiscal year
covered III the bill the AMOUNT of eX
pcndlturc may not exceed two million
each.
The committee also agreed on Il provi-
SION authorizing the Secretary Of the
Navy to purchase armOr plate by con
tract or otherwise at a cost Of not eX-
cecdlnG S400 per ton. This was agreed
to. however, only on the express proviso
that this item should include the nickel
used i'll the arnor, for which a large
outside percentage heretofore has been
paid by the government. This limit of
aIIilor contract price has been generally
expected, and with the exception of the
insertion of the proyiso as to nickel met
with little opposition i'll the discussion.
One of the most important feature
of the work on the bill was an agree
mcnt on an appropriation Of S13J. OOO
for Quitting. rationing and uniformin-
473 additional marines. This increase
in the Naval force was made the subject
of Il special and urgent request sent to
the House after the submission of the
regular recommo ldations.
With the amounts to be paid for dry
docks and for armor plate in the aggrc-
gate not yet determined. the bill as il
stands carries in all something like $50.
100000, which. however. will be largely
augmented by the other items. Itapit
progress has been made with the bill
and it is likely it Will be i'll shape to re-
| port to the House Monday or Tuesday
