NEW BATTLESHIPS
Of the Staunchest Type Authorized
by the House Naval Affairs Com
nitttee.

WASH NGTON, March 11.-Three new
battleships of the staunchest type afioat
were authorized by the House Committee
on Naval Aqairs to-day, and provision
for their construction was inserted in
the naval appropriation bill. AT the same
time. the committee agreed on a maxi
mum price Of $500 per ton for armor plate
for our vessels, increasing the force of
naval marines by Alb men, and put mat
tiers in fair shape for a decision to-mor-
row on the location of dry docks, prob
ably four in number, capable of accom-
modating the largest sized war vessels.
The committee was in session practically
al day.
1t will be two years doubtless before
They can be placed in commission. One
of them, the committee decided, should
be after the name Of the Inflated Maine.
The appropriation for their construction
was not fixed, being referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations which will re-
port to the full committee tomorrow.
The cost. it is expected. win be about
FIVE millions each, though for the fiscal
wear covered in the bill the amount Of
expenditure may not exceed two millions
each. An important question was raised
as to whether the expenditures for the
new SHIPS should be betrayed out of the
$4,000. coo emergency bill, but this subject
was passed over
one Of the most important features Of
the work on the bill was an agreement
on an appropriation Of $195,Co0 for outfit
ting. rationing and uniforming 473 addf-
tional marines. This increase in the ma
Val force was made the subject Of q
special ana urgent request sent to the
House after the submission Of the regular
recommendations
With the amounts 70 be paid for dry
docks and for armor plate in the aggre-
gate not yet determined the bill as IT
stands carries something ike $36.W0O
which however. will be largely augment
ed by other items.

Baltimore, Md, March 11-For the
past week or ten days Nj. Soulecroup,
assistant superintendent of motive
power of the Paris & New Orleans
Railroad, and corps of five assist
ants, have been inspecting very closely
the electrical plant OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad at Baltimore. The
splendid work being done by the cleo
trio motors in the Belt Line tunnel has
attracted attention all through Europe
and M. Soulecroup's visit to this coun-
try was for the express purpose of in
vestigating the ways and means of
operation. The Paris & New Orleans
Railroad Is to be an underground line
running from one of the suburbs Of
Paris 10 the center of the city. and it
is quite probable it will be quipped
with electric motors similar to those
used on the Baltimore linz except that
they will be much smalle~.

Washington, March 11.-Orders were
issued at the War Department to-day
for manning the newly established for
tifications on the Atlantic coast from
Boston down to Galveston, on the Gulf
The orders for the manning of the
new batteries demand the utmost
prOmptness IN their execution. and it
is expected that the movements of the
troops TO the various places assigned
them VIII begin within he next As
hours. Inasmuch as the new fortitica-
lions are not provided with either
quarters or barracks, it viii be neces-
sary for the troops ordered for them
to go into camp and live just as they
would in case of active military opera
tons against an enemy.
The new Notifications at the en-
trance to the harbor Of Boston will be
guarded by battery Of the Second ar
tillery, now at Fort Adams, R. /.
For the operation of the big guns on
Sandy Hook, New York harbor, two
batteries now at Fort Slocum, one at
Fort Hamilton and another at Fort
Wadsworth, will be utilized. 1t is ex-
pected that the Sandy Hook garrison
will be
ESTABLISHED AT ONCE.
Fort Monroe, Va, is probably the
strongest and best equipped station on
the Atlantic coast, and the garrison
there will be called upon to man other
Notifications but not to an extent that
would weaken its own efficiency. One
battery Of the First artillery at For
tress Monroe will be transferred to
Fort Morgan, Ala, which, in conjunc-
ton with Fort Gaines. commands the
entrance to Mobile Bay. Another bat
terry Of the First artillery will be sent
to Iybee Island, Ca, for the protec-
ton of the mouth of the Savannah
river
For the better protection of the ma
tional Capitol, one battery of the
Fourth artillery at Fort Monroe has
been ordered to Sheridan Point, Va.
This fort is nearly opposite Fort
. Washington and ID connection with it
commands the approach to Washing
ton by water The batteries of the
Fourth artillery, stationed at Fort Nc
Heney, near Baltimore, will be distri-
buted between Fort Delaware and
Fort Mott, n. j., thus providing for
the protection of Philadelphia, Tren-
ton, Camden and other
CITIES IN THAT VICINITY.
Fort st. Philip on the Mississippi
river just below New Orleans, will be
garrisoned by battery of the First
artillery now at Jackson barracks, New
Orleans. The other battery at Jack
son barracks has been assigned to duty
at Fort Point, harbor Of Galveston,
Texas.
Arrangements have been made by
the chief signal officer of the army, by
authority of the Secretary of War, to
establish immediate Geographic and
telephone connections between all the
new stations on the coast to which
troops have been assigned. All the
movements indicated above are to be
made without delay and are the results
of the recent tour of inspection of Gen
eral Merritt, commanding the depart
ment of the East, in which all of them
are located.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Dry goods are
still quiet in all lines. The conditions
based on war talk are aggravated in the
dry goods market by the unsatisfactory
details of the market for cotton goods.
The low prices prevailing are not suhi-
nj and neither buyers nor sellers are
making any very strenuous efforts 10
prosecute business. The low price Of
print cloths and the seeming apathy Of
buyers have produced a necessity for "a
further curtailment of production. In
staple c0ttOns there is little or no ac-
tivity. The demand for brown goods IN
both narrow and wide lines is still very
small. The price tone Is Irregular. I'm
some lines il IS well sustained. while In
others there are very liberal concessions.
Print cloths are quoted at about = l-lGc.,
though there are not many buyers Of cX-
tras al this figure. Odd goods is quiet
and without feature.
