THE HOLLAND BOAT.
The Government May Purchase Sew
eral Vessels Like It.

New York March 10-The Journal to-
day prints the following:
The Journal is today able to make the
, exclusive and interesting announcement
of the success of the Holland subma-
Taine torpedo beat
For nearly year naval experts and
the agents of all the great governments
of the world have been waiting for
this news.
1t can be relied upon. because it comes
from Shipbuider Lewis Nixon, who con-
structed the submarine terror. Mr.. Nix
on gave last evening a statement in re-
gard to the second trial of the boat
and declared that it had unquestionably
proved her the most formidable war
vessel predicted by the inventor.
Mr.. Holland" he said 'is an able.
careful inventor. He is always a con-
servative man. He takes no chance If
having possible public failure. He has
experimental in all directions with the
boat, and knows exactly what may be
expected of her She has been thor
like a fish. and will run under water i'm
any direction. Mr.. Holland knows Just
what she can do. The boat is a won
derful piece of mechanism. powerful
enough to blow up a man-of-war'
as it true that the boat dived and sail
ed under water greater part of the trip
to Perth Amboy?"
Yes A boy secreted himself aboard
the escortinS tug and said the boat dived
and disappeared until she came to the
surface near her destina ton. miles away
from our Elizabeth shipyards, whence
she sailed
As ieutenant-Commander kimball
and other experts of the Navy Depart
ment were detailed to watch the construc-
ton of the Holland boat and report on
her practicability as an effective auxiliary

of the Navy, the Government is supposed
TO be definitely informed as To the value
of Mr.. Hollands warshiD destroyer. She
will make public trial within ten days
This dispatch from Washington was
shown Mir. Nixon last night:
THE Navy Department has received as
surances from Captain Jaques. president
of the Holland Submarine Torpedo Boat
Company, that the company could build
and have ready for service in three
months no les sthan fifty torpedo boats.
1t is likely that a part of the S59,oJ0. ee0
appropriation will be used to purchase
several of these craft"
Mr.. Nixon then wrote the following
signed statement, showing what his ship
yards could do in meeting the Govern
ment's rush demand for fifty of the HOl-
land boats. to be built in ninety days.
The building of such number of yes
sells as Captain Jaques mentions by one
shipyard would be a great task. So far
as concerns the building of the steel hulls,
il would be possible to construct the YES
sells easily within that time by working
night and day.
| believe I could build a submarine boat
like the Holland in sixty days, and finish
one each day thereafter.
These boats are still fishes. able to ex-
ercise all the functions of a fish with the
brain of a man and the destructive power
of a man-of-war. The necessity for per-
feet adjustment with extreme simplicity
and with automatic arrangements. prac-
tically instructive in operation-all pack
ed in a small space-makes the cOnstruc-
ton of such a vessel a series of expert
ments, and the simple variation of meth
Cd of procedure in building might cause
great delay
The Holland vessel is, however, a sue
cess, and she is now prepared to take
her place as recognized factor in naval
warfare, and an element that must be
considered by all navies from this time
on.

To the Editor of The Times:
In your issue IF March 10 you speak in
glowing terms Sf the menu card for the
Loyal Legion banquet, given February II
Let me say that this is a case in which
Mr.. Moser with his wonderful artistic
ability was enabled to carry out my ideas
with proper execution and artistic eff
feet. The entire design was mine. and
mine only, and Mr.. Moser acted as my
employe in making the drawing subject
to my order and for which he was paid by
me. Allow me to congratulate myself for
a good piece of work and also for having
secured the service of clever and COM
petent artist in carrying out my ideas.
AS the matter uncorrected stands. the Inn
preston would be that Mr.. Mosef was the
originator of the design for which ! have
received the compliments of the gentle
men of the Loyal Legion. Very truly
yours, D. w. GREGORY.

question will cause some friction but Mr..

Hawaii to be Annexed.

After proiongng their obstructive tactics
until the patience of the country has been
exhausted the Hawaiian annexation resolu-
tion passed the Senate Wednesday, July 9th.
The vote confirms what has been held by
the advocates OF annex tion since the ques-
tlon has been pending in Congress, namely
that the majority of the Senate was anxious
to annex these islands if they could get an
opportunity to determine the matter by bal
bot. The vote in support of the resolution
was forty-two, to twenty-one, or exactly two
to one. The news will be very gratifying to
the country. The Stars and Stripes will
soon be flung to the breeze again al Homo
lulu and will not be hauled down by any
paramount special representative.
President Mckinley has appointed com
mission under the annexation act, and the
commission has organized by choice of SEN
ator Cullom as chairman. They will sail
from San Francisco for Honolulu Aug. 1st
1t is expected that about two months will
be spent IN Hawaii, and the commission
hopes to have its recommendations prepar.
ed by the opening of the next session of
Congress. SO far as opinion was expressed
1t was favorable 10 the adoption of the exist
ing Hawaiian statutes. Senator Morgan
gave the other members of the commission
much information concerning these laws
speaking of the legal system under which
the present Hawaiian government is carried
ON as one excellently adapted to local con-
ditons.
Among the questions the commission will
have to deal with are the public lands the
elective franchise and fertilization. The
members of the commission generally eX-
press the opinion that steps will be taken
to protect the islands against all possible
foes, both by erecting fortitications and 10y
maintaining force of men sufficient for any
probable emergency. The present land laws
of the island are quite complicated. and the
Chief end in view when they We're formulate
ad was that of inducing white immigration.
The Presidents intention of continuing
President Dole as governor of the new
territory was discussed at the meeting as
matter decided upon, and was spoken of
most approvingly. The commissioners favor
full territorial form of government, with a
delegate in Congress and a local legs ature,
but they necessarily will postpone the con-
sideratIon OF all matters OF detail until they
reach Honolulu ana have al opportunity to
confer with Messrs. Dole and Frear, the
Hawaiian mem bers of the commission.
Secretary Alger issued orders July 11th

Will be assigned for the time being as the

OF the transportation of the troops to the
islands and hopes by the 18th, or little
later, to secure four coast vessels, with
capacity of 1900 men.

Interesting Industrial History.

The selling at auction of the buildings
of the Bangor Foundry and Machine Co.
in Bangor, last week, closes an interest
ing chapter in Names industrial history.
The business was started in 1925 or '26
and with several changes in ownership
has been running until the present time,
except for a brief time in the winter of
1861 and 90, when the old foundry was
burned. At this place was manufactured
the machinery for the first sawmill built
at the Falls of st. Anthony, in Mime
apolis, by the Washburns and others,
about 1858 or 1859, while now Maine saw
mills are sending to the West for machin-
cry. Franklin Muzzy, one of the found
ers of the business, by the way, might
also be called the grandfather in law of
the Minneapolis flour industry, since one
of his daughters is the wife of former
United States Senator Washburn of
Minnesota, the famous flour miller, while
another daughter married Mr.. Crosby,
Washbur S partner
