HARBOR IMPROVEMENT
Not at San Pedro, But Away Up
North

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 26.-The con-
tract for the construction of jetty at
Grays Harbor. Washington, has been
let by the government to the Hale and
Kern Contract company of Portland.
The contract price is $4,000. The jetty
proper will extend seaward about three
and one-half miles from high tide line
of Point Hansen.
Four years are allowed for its COM
pletion, but the contractors hope to
complete it in three years. Some idea
of the magnitude of the work may be
found from the following estimate of
the amount of material which will enter
into it's construction: Piling, 10000
square feet lumber for trestles, 100000
feet: steel rails, 600 tons; iron bolts,
100, 900 pounds; brush, $4,000 cubic yards
stone, 100000 tons.
1t is believed that the completion of
this jetty will give permanent channel
into Gray's harbor of tWenty-four feet
at mean low water. The specifications
were prepared by Captain Harry Tay-
lor. United States engineer at Seattle,
who has charge of all government work
in the state of Washington, and the con-
struction of the jetty will be under his
direction.
The rock for the jetty will be quarried
at Fishers landing on the Columbia
river about fifteen miles from Port
land.
The work of preparing the extensive
plant necessary for carrying on this
work will be commenced at once. A
fleet of seven barges of 1900 tons each
will be constructed for the purpose of
carrying the rock to Gray's harbor.
The contractors will employ about 800
men. The work is to be done under the
continuous contract system, and 1870, 900
is Immediately available.

developments in the future. He was
very hoarse and it was with difficulty
that he could speak above whisper.
ONLY the circumstances of the case, he
said. could induce him to attempt to say
anything. The question presented was
one far greater than the simple one of
a delivery more or less in New York or
Chicago. The statements of the gen.
tleman from New York (Quigg). said he,
were absolutely false and unfounded.
That gentleman, he said, had been nav
ing himself interviewed. charging that
he Houd) was responsible for the eX-
isting predicament; that he doud) had
defied congress and the postoftice and
had forced the department to cut on the
carriers. "Such criticism" said Loud,
sis beneath my contempt. The charge Is
made that the postoffice appropriation
bill this year carried 100000 below the
estimates. / know the officials of the
postoffice department back that charge
but l assert that it is false
Then you allege falsehood against the
officials of the department" Interrupted
Quigg.
Let him take it who can bear it," re-
sponded Loud
Loud proceeded to affirm that the
postofiice officials had, contrary to law,
appointed 22S additional carriers and
created prospective deficiency of $780,
900. He said further that in the face of
an appropriation of $4,000 for incidental
expenses $107 900 had been spent in six
months. over $4,000 of the reported de-
fciency, he said belonged in that ac-
count He urged the members not to be

possible loss of a carrier or two as to
yield the last vestige of their power of
circumscribng the acts of the execu-
tive branches of the government. The
perpetuity of the legislative branch of
the government was involved. he said.
In conclusion he appealed to the men,
bers to let the whole question come up
regularly in it's time when, he said, he
would be ready to discuss the whole sub

A DRYDOCK is NEEDED
AND HUNTINGTON PROPOSES TO
BUILD ONE
Coils May Not Be Philanthropist,
But His New Scheme Will Be
Welcomed

NEW YORK, Jan. pa special to the
Tribune from Newport News, Va, says;
Coils P. Huntington's train was trans
ferred from the station to the Shipyard
here last night. When Mr.. Huntington
was asked to state his intentions re-
garding the proposition he had made to
Secretary Long offering to build dry
dock capable of receiving the largest
ship afoat, he said:
You can say that I will shortly build
the largest and best drydock in Ameri-
can waters, a basin in which any ship
in the United States or England in the
the merchant marine can be safely
docked and overhauled. This dock will
be built at one corner of the shipyard.
There is urgent need of a drydock in
which the vessels of the navy can be re-
paired at short notice and it is such a
basin that 1 propose to build"
What about the reported Armstrong
deal, looking to the purchase of the
shipyard?"
Sir William Armstrong never had an
option on this plant. 1t is true, how
ever, that l did see him and offered to
sell him an interest in the shipyard.
This deal might have been consummated
but for some sharp traders who sought
to take part in the transaction. My rea-
son for offering to sell an interest in tha
plant was to have an ordnance factory
established at Newport News and also
to extend the yard. although it is now
one of the largest in the world.
II offered to sell Sir William Arm
strong half of the stock or if he wanted
to have the controlling interest 60 per
cent This, 1 say, was in the interest of
the yard. 1 would not think of selling
that much of the stock if l did not have
so much other business to engage my at
tention. l cannot state positively
whether or not an ordnance factory will
be located here. l have not abandoned
the idea
While Mr.. Huntington declined to
make any statement in the matter the
impression prevails that his visit in
company with the Vice President of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company is in
respect to the awarding of a contract for
a new passenger steamship for the Pa
cific Mail Company The party will re-
main here two or three days. Mr. Hunt
ington will live in his private car at the
shipyard.

IN COMMITTEE
Statehood Legislation Killed-Cur-
rency Reform Considered

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Statehood
legislation at this session was killed to-
day by the House Committee on Terri
tories rejecting the Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma bills by a vote of to 3.
The first two measures were punched
and defeated. The Oklahoma bill was
taken up and beaten by the same vote.
There was no discussion in accordance
with the understanding at the last meet
ing that the vote was to be taken today
without further preliminaries. Dele
gates Smith and Ferguson, of Arizona
and New Mexico, stated that they
wished to put themselves on record that
if they were allowed to vote they would
vote for the bills.
CURRENCY REFORM
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency
held a brief session today, but did not
take action towards reporting any cur
rency bill. Considerable interest at
taches to the meeting in view of the re-
cent extended hearing on the part of the
monetary meeting at indianapolis. At
the outset, Mr. Johnson of Indiana, who
is regarded as favorable to the monetary
commission, secured the adoption of a
resolution for a statement from each
member as to his position on the general
question of a revision of the currency.
Mr. Brosius was called upon. He

quiet tonight. The Maine lies at an
chor near the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XIII. Many persons believe that the
presence of the American ship here is
designed to bring about disturbance on
the streets of Havana when the Ameri-
can sailors and marines land. This
morning two battalions of infantry and
section of artillery arrived from the
province of Pinar del Rio.
BLANCOrS MISSION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-"No, / don't
think he has gone on such mission"
said Senor Quesada, in charge of the
Cuban headquarters, today, when his at
tention was called to a published state
ment that Captain-General Blancos
trip to the eastern part of Cuba was for
the purpose of comforting with General
Gomez, looking to terms of peace.
His purpose in going there, 1 think,
is to assist in bolstering up as far pos
sible, the Spanish cause" continued Mr..
Quesada. TT has been five days since we
heard from the operations of the armies
in that section of the island.
General Pando, the Spanish com
mander, was very severely wounded and
may be dead, and the Spanish army
there is probably in demoralized con-
dition. Blanco's visit, think, is for the
purpose of strengthening the lines and
giving the troops what encouragement
he can. Shortly after Blanco was ap-
pointed to his present position, General
Gomez addressed him, as he had Marti
nez Campos, a letter urging him for hu-
manity's sake to use his influence with
Spain to stop the bloodshed and bring
the war to an end on the basis of in
dependence for Cuba. BY this means,
Spain would get the glory of acting as a
mother to her son and independence
would be achieved without the interven-
ton of any other nation"

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
The Fate OF Eddie COrdner--News
From JeTmynites in the KiondIke.

The fate of Eddie Cordner, the boy who
left home on the 9th of September last,
was the topic of conversation on the
streets yesterday. If the version of Mr.
George Cordner, the father of the boy, is
true It should cause an investigation on
part of the water company. Mr.. Cordner
stated yesterday that a woman by the
name of Forkel. who lives between Arch
bald and the Ridge, said that her son had
told her that he saw the missing boy
drown in the reservoir. The Forkel boy
Is now in New York working for a man
by the name of George f. Hutchings,
from whom Mr.. Cordner expects to re-
ceive a letter in few days.
Mrs. James Lewis, of Mayfeld, received
a letter from her son, John, who left IN
company with Charles Smith and James
Merrett about nine months ago, stating
that he was located on Douglas island.
John l.. Baker, of Rushbrook street, an
employ of the Delaware and Hudson
company, received painful injury to his
foot by barring some coal. Mr.. Baker
will be unable to work for some time.
John Merrett. who passed away on
Wednesday evening, was one of the oldest
residents of this town. Mr. Merrett was
a well respected citizen and a man who
was wen liked by all with whom he came
In contact. Mr.. Merrett was born in
Cornwall, England about GO years ago,
and came to this country about thirty
three years ago, The deceased was a
member OF the Odd Fellows lodge OF Jer-
myn. A wife and one daughter survive
him. The daughter is Mrs. William
Rowe, of Third street. Also brother,
Peter Merrett, of North Main street. The

THE JUDGES DISAGREE.
Judge McPherson and Judge Albright
DO Not View the Law Alike.

Some time ago the legislature of this
state passed "A law which was intended
to assist justice in civil cases. 1t pro-
Vided that where several persons were
interested in a matter which was the
subject OF litigation the death of one
of the parties sealed the lips of the
other as to the transactions. In other
words, the living could not go OH the
stand to misrepreSent the facts, know
ing that the dead would not come for
ward to contradict them.
This act was framed by Judge Nc
Pherson, of Dauphin county, and a few
months ago In the case of ia. Gunster
assignee of the defunct Scranton City
bank, against George A. Jessup and the
latter's bondsmen, which was tried be-
fore him here, he ruled that the death
of Albert Beardsley, one of the bonds
men against whom the suit was
brought, did not prevent Assignee
Gunster from going on the stand and
testifying to the facts with reference
10 Jessup's Indebtedness to the bank.
Yesterday on a retrial of the case the
same question came up with reference
to the death of the late DIR. Il. II.
Throop, who was also one of the sur
eties as well as an officer of the bank,
and Judge Albright, before whom the
case was being tried. ruled that As
signee Gunster could not testify. Judge
Albright said he was sorry to disagree
with Judge Mcpherson, who framed the
act, but he could not see his way clear
to make a ruling that would agree
with that of his brother iurist of Dau-
phin county. The plaintiff pleaded
surprise and secured a continuance of
the case. The plaintiff was represented
by c. II. Welles, S. Il. Price, John F..
Scragg and Walter Gunster, and the
defendants by Judge Jessup, Major
Warren and james II. Torrey.
In the case of Hiram Helmes, as
signed to Martha Turner, a verdict for
the defendant was returned yesterday.
The jury concluded there was no cause
for action.
The case of Howley Brothers against
r. f. Hurley was given to the jury
yesterday, but up to adjourning time
it had net agreed upon a verdict. The
jury was also out at adjournment in
the case of Edwards & Barthold
against Martha Pritchard.
The entire day was consumed before
Judge Gunster In the main court room
in hearing testimony in the case of
Farrer & Trefts against w. NJ. Silk
man & Co., which was called for trial
Wednesday afternoon. 1t will be given
to the jury today.
Before Judge Albright, when court ad-
journed, the interpleader case of Mrs.
Bridget Mcdonald against Joseph Nc
Namara and Mary Mcnamara was on
trial. Patrick Mcdonald, husband of
the plaintiff. was the defendant in a
slander suit in which the present de-
PENDANTS were plaintiffs.

THEATRICAL. ATTRACTIONS.
A BOy Wanted.

one of the liveliest and most entertain
ing light performances seen at the Acad-
emy of Music for some time was given
last night by "A Boy Wanted" company.
II Is called an extravaganza on the house
bill that probably describes ii as well
as is essential. There is enough of a plot
to give an excuse for a lot of clever
vaudeville to keep the front of the stage
almost constantly during the three acts.
1t Is an up-to-date entertainment in ev-
cry respect in which nearly all the popu-
lar ditties of the day are rendered in a
most acceptable manner.
Among those who are especially de-
serving of recognition for their work last
night are Edward j. Heron, Harry Il.
Allen, Claude Gillingwater, Frank G.
Young, Nellie O'Neill and Frances Hart
ley These are by no means all the good
entertainers the company contains, how
ever. The performance will be repeated
this and tomorrow afternoons and even
ings.

base ball park. McAvoy escaped In
jury, but Thayne was thrown back
wards over the rear dashboard and in
the opinion OF jury in common pleas
sustained damages to the extent of

The company appealed reiterating a
contention made at the trial that u
compulsory non-suit should have been
directed because of contributory negli-
gence on the part of Thaync. The APP
rellee, through O'Brien & Kelly, argued
that Thayne's position on the car in
no way contributed to the accident or
the resultant injury.
