GREATEST DRY DOCK.
To Be Built at Newport News at
a Cost of ST., 900, 900.

C. B. Orcutt, president of the New
port News Shipbuilding Co., has in
formed Secretary Long that he intends
to begin Immediately the construction
at Newport News of the largest dry
dock in the world. capable when COM
pleted CT accommodating at once two
of the largest battleships or three
small cruisers.
The dock will be without an equal,
and for length and breadth surpass all
of the great docks of the British Gov
ernment and others controlled by pri-
vate parties. Work on this big basin
begins at once, the site having already
been selected In length it will exceed
900 feet or be at least 25O feet longer
than the biggest of the transatlantic
liners. II will have beam double that
of almost any battleship, and when
completed will have cost 81, ,000, 900. The
fact that Newport News will be pro-
tected by the defenses OF Fort Monroe
makes the dry dock of additional value
to the United States navy. The new
craving dock at Glasgow, of length of
$50 feet, is the next largest in exist
ence in the world. The projected dock
improvements at Liverpool include,
however, a craving dock of 900 feet,
the same length as the projected dry
dock in Newport News.

SENATE.
Fifty-ffth Day.

Fifty-ffth Day, April 20.
The Judiciary Committee does not
approve of the site of the Carter memo
rial fountain. They believe that another
desirable location could be procured.
There have been complaints to the
Committee that the fountain is an
obstruction in the square, but the Com
mittee recognizes the restriction of its
jurisdiction in the matter. 1t believes
that the subject should be left to the
judgment of the Legislature.
So the committee reported to the
Senate. Senator Hooking submitted
a question 10 the Minister of the In
terror touching on the authority that
caused dedication Of a public square
for the erection of a memorial. The
question and the answer were referred
to the Judiciary Committee to report
thereon. The Committee reported that
it had failed to note any express
authority vested in the Minister of
the Interior, but that it thought such
powers existed by Implication. The
Senate accepted the report.
II was announced that the President
had attached his signature to the bill
relating TO the disposition of the school
tax and a bill providing for the cleo
tion Of Senators.
House bill 80, relating TO the limita-
ton of time within which actions may
be brought to recover possession of
land passed third reading.
The House bill amending the act re-
lating to assault and battery passed
second reading on recommendation of
the committee. Third reading was set
for Thursday.
The act relating to claims against
the estates of deceased persons and
limiting the time for commencing such
suits came up on second reading. The
Judiciary Committee recommended
several changes in the bill as reported
to them for consideration. One
amendment provides that it shall not
be necessary to publish a notice Of
the estate in Honolulu. The commit
tee reduced the time for bringing suit
from three months to two months, as
it existed in the old law.
Senator McCandless moved that
consideration of the bill be indefinite
ly postponed. He said that the Homo
lulu newspapers have a much wider
circulation than the Hilo papers. He
considered it an injustice to the cred
itors not to have the widest circula-

ton. The motion was lost and the
bill passed second reading. Third
reading was set for Friday.
House bill SO, prohibiting the sale
etc. of foreign goods marked to deceive
people into thinking that they are Ha-
waiian came up ON second reading
The bill went TO the Committee on
| Commerce.
House bill 6S, providing for the ap-
pointment of a substitute during the
absence or temporary disability of a
Circuit Judge passed first and second
reading and went TO the Judiciary
Committee.
Deficiency appropriation bill was
returned from the House with amend
ments. The new total of the bill is
SS7, ,452.19. The Senate coneurred in
all the amendments, including the
striking out of the item providing for
claims arising from possible decisions
of the Courts adverse TO the Govern
ment for the killing of tuberculous
cattle
The House bill amending the license
act was taken up on second reading
with the report of the committee. The
committee recommended Sdhe adoption
of the bill as whole. Senator Nc
Candless moved that the section re-
lating to Importation of live stock be
stricken out. He said he believed the
bill 70 be in violation of the whole
tenor of the reciprocity treaty. II was
practically, he said, creating a mono
poly for the Honolulu merchants as
the Hilo merchants could not import
live stock at the rate of taxes. 1t look
ed to him like an import duty
Senator Brown said that the bill
placed no restriction on the importa-
tion OF live stock. 1t was simply to
compel those who offered live stock
for sale TO pay reasonable tax. The
motion was lost and the bill passed
second reading.
Minister Cooper then introduced
two acts. the first relating to Chinese
provisions, the second
uhe land act. The bill re-
lating to the Chinese makes a techni-
cal change in the wording and elimi- |
mates the provision for the deposit of |
$3.50 in the Postal Savings Bank. The
and act embraces extension of privil-
eyes of the present act and several
minor technical changes.
AT II o'clock, the Senate adjourned.

Blew Out His Brains.

Edward Smith, aged about e5
years, committed suicide at his home
in Hagerstown on Tuesday morning,
by blowing out his brains with a
shot gun. He got in bed, laid the
gun underneath the covers and rest
ed his forehead on the muzzle. Then
ending his left leg. he caught the
trigger with his toe and the load
simply tore off the whole top o. his
head, scattering brains, hair and
blood over the top of the bed and
against the wall. The discharge
from the gun set the bed clothes on
fire, and smoke was seen issuing
from the windows of the house by
the neigbbors. The front door was
broken open, and Smith was found
in mass Of flames with his head
burned and charred and blood over
everything. His wife left him few
days ago. Smith was insanely jeal-
Gus of her, and they had quarrelled,
which was the cause of bis rash act.
He leaves $1,000 insurance in the
